CENTREVILLE, Md. — State police say a trooper shot and killed a pit bull mix that had bitten a woman inside her Centreville home and was about to attack her again.
Police say Trooper First Class Robert Isabelle was called to the home shortly after 8 a.m. on Sunday. When he arrived, two dogs were fighting and 64-year-old Doris Airey was trying to break them up.
Police say the trooper used pepper spray on the pit bull, which was the aggressor. The dog backed away before charging toward Airey again. That's when Isabelle fired one round that killed the dog.
Police say Airey didn't suffer any further injuries after the initial dog bite. No one else was hurt.
Police say the dog belonged to Airey's son-in-law, who wasn't home at the time.

FAO-IAEA sign accord to strengthen cooperation
19 June 2013, Rome, Italy – The FAO and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which have had a strong partnership since 1964 through its Joint FAO/IAEA Division for the application of nuclear techniques in food and agriculture, have signed an agreement that aims to strengthen further the relationship.
The agencies have agreed to discuss the enhancement and modernisation of the joint FAO/IAEA Agriculture and Biotechnology laboratories, situated at Seibersdorf, 35 km south of Vienna.
Yukiya Amano, IAEA Director-General, addressed the FAO Conference, the Organization's highest governing body, which is meeting this week.
The laboratories play a key role in the implementation of the Joint FAO/IAEA Programme. They specialize in research, development and transfer of nuclear techniques in the areas of soil science, plant breeding, animal production and health, insect pest control and food safety and control.
They are engaged in applied R&D activities and provide a broad range of specialized services and training of scientists from developing countries through individual fellowships and inter-regional and group training courses.
The FAO/IAEA partnership has long been considered a unique resource for addressing specialized challenges in agriculture and a successful example of inter-agency cooperation.

text: There are many reasons to be excited about this Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards. Ha. Just kidding. There really isn't anything to be excited about at all. I mean, you don't really care that much about 'NSYNC reuniting, do you? You're over the age of 10 and have ears, right? I thought so. And who could possibly really care about the not-witty-at-all banter that's going to be happening between all the presenters. I mean, for every great Courtney Love-throwing-shoes-at-Madonna-and-Kurt Loder or Fiona Apple-quoting-Maya Angelou-and-calling-everything-bullshit moment, there's hundreds of boring, pointless moments that remind you why you haven't watched MTV in years and years anyway. But so! There's one thing that's pretty reliably fun about the VMAs. Or at least, it always has been in the past. And that's the fashion. The fashion has always been pretty great. By the way, when I say fashion, I do not mean Lady Gaga wearing a meat dress. That is not fashion. That is meat. Here's 20 of our favorite fashion moments in VMAs history. We can certainly hope that, with the VMAs finally coming to Brooklyn, the fashion will reach the heights it has in years past. But, uh, yeah. We doubt it. So let's let nostalgia take us away, far, far away.

Anthony Bourdain
Anthony Michael "Tony" Bourdain (born June 25, 1956) is an American author and the "Chef-at-Large" of Brasserie Les Halles, based in New York City with locations in Miami, Florida, and Washington, D.C. Bourdain is also host of the Travel Channel's culinary and cultural adventure program, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations and has written several books.
- Bad food is made without pride, by cooks who have no pride, and no love. Bad food is made by chefs who are indifferent, or who are trying to be everything to everybody, who are trying to please everyone … Bad food is fake food … food that shows fear and lack of confidence in people's ability to discern or to make decisions about their lives. Food that's too safe, too pasteurized, too healthy – it's bad! There should be some risk, like unpasteurized cheese. Food is about rot, and decay, and fermentation….as much as it is also about freshness.
- I don't like to see animals in pain. That was very uncomfortable to me. I don't like factory farming. I'm not an advocate for the meat industry.
- I have exactly the same work ethic. I don't see writing as anything more important than cooking. In fact, I'm a little queasier on the writing. There's an element of shame, because it's so easy. I can't believe that people give me money for this shit. The TV, too. It's not work. At the end of the day, the TV show is the best job in the world. I get to go anywhere I want, eat and drink whatever I want. As long as I just babble at the camera, other people will pay for it. It's a gift. A few months ago, I was sitting cross-legged in the mountains of Vietnam with a bunch of Thai tribesman as a guest of honor drinking rice whiskey. Three years ago I never, ever in a million years thought that I would ever live to see any of that. So I know that I'm a lucky man.
- Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself.
- Alden Mudge, "On tour with a guerrilla gourmet", interview, BookPage.com, accessed June 17, 2007.
- The room smelled like a gust of wind from Satan's anus.
- No Reservations - Iceland.
- It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn. Maybe that's enlightenment enough - to know that there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom, at least for me, means realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.
- No Reservations - Macchu Picchu
- You know what's great about New York? The threshold for citizenship as a New Yorker is actually pretty short. If you come to New York and you still like it two years after you arrived here, and you still think it's great and you're having a good time and you haven't been just totally ground down and go limping back to wherever the fuck you came from, you know what? You're in!

Kitchen Confidential (2000)[edit]
- Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn. To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living. Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, and an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food. The body, these waterheads imagine, is a temple that should not be polluted by animal protein. It's healthier, they insist, though every vegetarian waiter I've worked with is brought down by any rumor of a cold. Oh, I'll accommodate them, I'll rummage around for something to feed them, for a 'vegetarian plate', if called on to do so. Fourteen dollars for a few slices of grilled eggplant and zucchini suits my food cost fine. (p. 70).
- Avoid at all costs that vile spew you see rotting in oil in screwtop jars. Too lazy to peel fresh? You don't deserve to eat garlic.
- Good food and good eating are about risk. Every once in a while an oyster, for instance, will make you sick to your stomach. Does this mean you should stop eating oysters? No way. The more exotic the food, the more adventurous the serious eater, the higher the likelihood of later discomfort. I'm not going to deny myself the pleasures of morcilla sausage, or sashimi, or even ropa vieja at the local Cuban joint just because sometimes I feel bad a few hours after I've eaten them.
- Margarine? That's not food. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter? I can. If you're planning on using margarine in anything, you can stop reading now, because I won't be able to help you.
- I wanted to write in Kitchenese, the secret language of cooks, instantly recognizable to anyone who has ever dunked french fries for a summer job or suffered under the despotic rule of a tyrannical chef or boobish owner.
- An ounce of sauce covers a multitude of sins.
- If there was any justice in this world, I would have been a dead man at least two times over. By this, I mean simply that many times in my life the statistical probabilities of a fatal outcome have been overwhelming – thanks to my sins of excess and poor judgment and my inability to say no to anything that sounded as if it might have been fun. … [When I die], I will decidedly not be regretting missed opportunities for a good time. My regrets will be more along the lines of a sad list of people hurt, people let down, assets wasted and advantages squandered.
- I've long believed that good food, good eating, is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure.
- Don't touch my dick, don't touch my knife.
- Skills can be taught. Character you either have or you don't have.
- For a moment, or a second, the pinched expressions of the cynical, world-weary, throat-cutting, miserable bastards we've all had to become disappears, when we're confronted with something as simple as a plate of food.
A Cook's Tour (2001)[edit]
- They're professionals at this in Russia, so no matter how many Jell-O shots or Jager shooters you might have downed at college mixers, no matter how good a drinker you might think you are, don't forget that the Russians - any Russian - can drink you under the table.
- I wanted adventures. I wanted to go up the Nung river to the heart of darkness in Cambodia. I wanted to ride out into a desert on camelback, sand and dunes in every direction, eat whole roasted lamb with my fingers. I wanted to kick snow off my boots in a Mafiya nightclub in Russia. I wanted to play with automatic weapons in Phnom Penh, recapture the past in a small oyster village in France, step into a seedy neon-lit pulqueria in rural Mexico. I wanted to run roadblocks in the middle of the night, blowing past angry militia with a handful of hurled Marlboro packs, experience fear, excitement, wonder. I wanted kicks – the kind of melodramatic thrills and chills I'd yearned for since childhood, the kind of adventure I'd found as a little boy in the pages of my Tintin comic books. I wanted to see the world – and I wanted the world to be just like the movies.
- Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he's not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević. While Henry continues to nibble nori rolls & remaki at A-list parties, Cambodia, the neutral nation he secretly and illegally bombed, invaded, undermined, and then threw to the dogs, is still trying to raise itself up on its one remaining leg.
- The journey is part of the experience - an expression of the seriousness of one's intent. One doesn't take the A train to Mecca.
- I am in no way supportive of hunting for trophies or sport - would never do it and don't like it that others do. But if you kill it, then eat it, it's fine.
- Only desperation can account for what the Chinese do in the name of 'medicine.' That's something you might remind your New Age friends who've gone gaga over 'holistic medicine' and 'alternative Chinese cures.
The Nasty Bits (2006)[edit]
- Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks - on your body or on your heart - are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.
- America's most dangerous export was never nuclear weapons or Jerry Lewis—or even Baywatch reruns. It was, is, and probably always will be our fast-food outlets.
- Given a choice between being trapped on a desert island with a group of writers or a family of howler monkeys, I think I'd pick the monkeys. At least I could eat them.
- For their own good, vegetarians should never be allowed near fine beers and ales. It will only make them loud and belligerent, and they lack the physical strength and aggressive nature to back up any drunken assertions.
- You have to love a town where you can both smoke and gamble in a pharmacy.
- It's an irritating reality that many places and events defy description. Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu, for instance, seem to demand silence, like a love affair you can never talk about. For a while after,you fumble for words, trying vainly to assemble a private narrative, an explanation, a comfortable way to frame where you've been and whats happened. In the end, you're just happy you were there- with your eyes open- and lived to see it.
- Good food does lead to sex. As it should.
- Cooking professionally is a dominant act, at all times about control. Eating well, on the other hand, is about submission. It's about giving up all vestiges of control, about entrusting your fate entirely to someone else. It's about turning off the mean, manipulative, calculating, and shrewd person inside you, and slipping heedlessly into a new experience as if it were a warm bath. It's about shutting down the radar and letting good things happen. Let it happen to you.
- Naturally, I'm misanthropic. But the Negronis are helping considerably.
- "Monkfish liver! Can you sell them? How many people order them?" one chef will say. "I herda them," says another. "The fucking burger…" groans another, "I can't get it off the menu. I tried, but they scream." "Give them the damn burger," says another, "and fucking salmon if they want it too. Just slip them the good stuff slowly, when they're not looking. A little here,a little there, as a special. Choke them with burgers but slide them tuna rare. Give them their salmon, but make it ceviche. They'll come around. They're coming around".
Medium Raw (2010)[edit]
- There's something wonderful about drinking in the afternoon. A not-too-cold pint, absolutely alone at the bar – even in this fake-ass Irish pub.
- If you're twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.
- We know, for instance, that there is a direct, inverse relationship between frequency of family meals and social problems. Bluntly stated, members of families who eat together regularly are statistically less likely to stick up liquor stores, blow up meth labs, give birth to crack babies, commit suicide, or make donkey porn. If Little Timmy had just had more meatloaf, he might not have grown up to fill chest freezers with Cub Scout parts.
- I am not a fan of people who abuse service staff. In fact, I find it intolerable. It's an unpardonable sin as far as I'm concerned, taking out personal business or some other kind of dissatisfaction on a waiter or busboy.
- I do think the idea that basic cooking skills are a virtue, that the ability to feed yourself and a few others with proficiency should be taught to every young man and woman as a fundamental skill, should become as vital to growing up as learning to wipe one's own ass, cross the street by oneself, or be trusted with money.
- No kid really wants a cool parent. "Cool" parents, when I was a kid, meant parents who let you smoke weed in the house – or allowed boyfriends to sleep over with their daughters. That would make Sarah Palin "cool." But, as I remember, we thought those parents were kind of creepy. They were useful, sure, but what was wrong with them that they found us so entertaining? Didn't they have their own friends?
- You have to be a romantic to invest yourself, your money, and your time in cheese.
- I believe that, as an American, I should be able to walk into any restaurant in America and order my hamburger – that most American of foods – medium fucking rare. I don't believe my hamburger should have to come with a warning to cook it well done to kill off any potential contaminants or bacteria. … I believe I should be able to treat my hamburger like food, not like infectious fucking medical waste. I believe the words "meat" and "treated with ammonia" should never occur in the same paragraph – much less the same sentence.
- PETA doesn't want stressed animals to be cruelly crowded into sheds, ankle-deep in their own crap, because they don't want any animals to die-ever-and basically think chickens should, in time, gain the right to vote. I don't want animals stressed or crowded or treated cruelly or inhumanely because that makes them probably less delicious.
- I have long believed that it is only right and appropriate that before one sleeps with someone, one should be able – if called upon to do so – to make them a proper omelet in the morning. Surely that kind of civility and selflessness would be both good manners and good for the world.
- The lazy and the foolish compare him to Hemingway, which is a terrible injustice as Jim is both a better writer and a better man.
- On novelist and poet Jim Harrison
Quotes about Bordain[edit]
- ...with the focus on food and cooking [on Bourdain's No Reservations], we can see what it is that drives daily life among the Haitian multitudes. And what we find is surprising in so many ways.
In a scene early in the show set in this giant city after the [2010] earthquake, Bourdain and his crew stop to eat some local food from a vendor. He discusses its ingredients and samples some items. Crowds of hungry people begin to gather. They are doing more than gawking at the camera crews. They are waiting in the hope of getting something to eat. Bourdain thinks of a way to do something nice for everyone. Realizing that in this one sitting, he is eating a quantity of food that would last most Haitians three days, he buys out the remaining food from the vendor and gives it away to locals.
Nice gesture! Except that something goes wrong. Once the word spreads about the free food—word-of-mouth in Haiti is faster than Facebook chat—people start pouring in. Lines form and get long. Disorder ensues. Some people step forward to keep order. They bring belts and start hitting. The entire scene becomes very unpleasant for everyone--and the viewer gets the sense that it is worse than we are shown.
Bourdain correctly draws the lesson that the solutions to the problem of poverty here are more complex than it would appear at first glance. Good intentions go awry. They were thinking with their hearts instead of their heads, and ended up causing more pain than was originally there in the first place. From this event forward, he begins to approach the problems of this country with a bit more sophistication.

2004 Baseball
Anderson series
Beavers take two of three from Ravens to end season
By Ben Risinger, SID
May 7, 2004
ANDERSON, IND. - The Bluffton College baseball team (11-29, 6-15 HCAC) finished the season on a high note as they won two of the three game series against Anderson University (11-24, 8-13 HCAC) on Thursday and Friday. The Beavers took game one at home 23-7 and split the doubleheader by winning the first game 3-1 and losing the finale, 3-2.
The Beavers found themselves tied with
at four each in the first game until the sixth inning when Bluffton's hitters came
alive. The team would score 19 runs over the sixth, seventh and eighth innings to
run away with the game as they posted 18 total hits. Senior Bob Heitkamp (Ft. Recovery) knocked out a two-run homer with sophomore Riordan McClain (Upper Sandusky) hitting a double and a three-run homer out of the park. Junior Brad Moore (
The Beavers then picked up the second game in Anderson with sophomore Randy Miller (Willard) receiving the win on the mound to improve his record to 2-7 for the season. Senior Luke Clouse (Rockford/Parkway) notched a single hit and 2 RBI's at the plate. The win was the first time of the 2004 season that Bluffton College had won two games in a three-game HCAC series.
Bluffton lost the last game of the series 3-2 in their season finale. The Ravens led 3-0 until the sixth inning when the Beavers knocked one run home. BC would score once more in their final at bat in the seventh for the final score. Senior Ryan Whitaker ( Hicksville ) picked up the loss despite allowing only two hits in his final game on the pitchers mound. Bob Heitkamp went 3-for-4 with two doubles in the nightcap.

The official start of the 69th session of the Colorado Assembly began with the Jan. 9 swearing-in by Chief Justice Michael Bender. My wife, Barbara, was with me in the House Chamber as I took the oath of office, and other family members observed from the gallery.
On Jan. 10, we were visited by Gov. John Hickenlooper, who delivered an admirable State of the State address. While I am a firm supporter of the Second Amendment, I agree with the governor that public safety can only be improved by background checks to ensure that all weapons are only held by law-abiding citizens, who are free of all mental issues. Overall, the governors message was that the Colorado economy is making a good recovery and our governmental operations and schools have a better future than at any time since 2008.
On Jan. 11, we received the entire Colorado Supreme Court and Chief Justice Michael Bender at the House Chambers where he gave the State of the Judiciary address. We should all take pride in the demonstrable improvement in our Colorado court system. Later, we visited the new Ralph L. Carr Justice Center for ribbon-cutting and dedication of the Colorado Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. Adjacent offices now provide space for Attorney General John Suthers and the Department of Law, which includes all lawyers and staff members for the states largest legal department.
During the last week, we received reports from Bender, Suthers and Agriculture Commissioner John Salazar. These reports are required by the SMART Government Act, which stands for State Measurements for Accountable Responsive & Transparent. It is commendable that each of these departments either met or exceeded most of their goals.
In addition to our legislative duties, we are invited to a variety of receptions and social functions. Since opening day, I have attended receptions sponsored by the Colorado Mining Congress, Colorado Counties Incorporated, Colorado Cattlemen, NARAL Pro-Choice America and the Colorado Petroleum Association. Ive also met with the Colorado Water Congress where former state Sen. Bruce Whitehead is a board member.
Not everybody I see in Denver is a stranger. At the CCI, I was pleased to see these county commissioners; Lynn Padgett from Ouray, Jonathan Houck from Gunnison County, Gwen Lachelt and Julie Westendorff from La Plata County and Scott Fetchenhier of San Juan County.
In addition to Whitehead, I have had conversations with Scott Sholes, EMS chief of Durango Fire & Rescue Authority as well as Julie Levy of BP. At the Cattlemans Luncheon, I spoke with Brice Lee, Tom Compton and Salazar. It is good to see these people from the 59th District. I have encouraged them to contact my office.
I had my first experience as a bill sponsor for the review of Municipal Court fines. The bill was referred to the House Judiciary Committee, and we presented two witnesses to support an increase from $1,000 to $5,000. After hearing some of the objections, we requested the bill be laid over for two weeks to allow us to assess and evaluate the objectors concerns. We will report back on the status of that bill.
Thank you again for allowing me to be of service to the residents of the 59th District.
Mike McLachlan represents the newly reconstituted House District 59 in Colorados General Assembly. The district now encompasses La Plata, Archuleta, San Juan, Ouray and Hinsdale counties and part of Gunnison County. Call McLachlan at (303) 866-2914 or email mike.mclachlan.house@state.

This week, the Portland City Council on its second try passed an ordinance change that prohibits anyone from standing — or doing anything other than walking through — the median strips in the city. The ordinance language has widely been considered a prohibition on panhandling from the median strips, which has taken off in recent years, but during Monday night's council meeting, Police Chief Michael Sauschuck made it a point to note that panhandlers alone wouldn't be affected by the change.
Candidates for public office similarly wouldn't be able to stand in those spots with campaign signs, nor would folks with "Two-for-one pizza" deal advertisements.
The fact that the ordinance blocks everyone equally — regardless of the content of his or her sign — that city attorneys say makes it defensible against a legal challenge on constitutional grounds. (If the city were to prohibit just displaying signs asking for money from motorists, for instance, it would be seen as an infringement upon the panhandlers' First Amendment right to free expression — attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine still may challenge the ordinance on that front, but that's the argument the city is using.)
Despite the stated inclusion of politicians and pizza salesmen as people who could be affected by the ordinance change, the move was largely seen as targeting the aforementioned panhandlers. Many business leaders don't think the median-strip panhandlers present a welcoming sight for visitors to the city, and Portland police — among other supporters of the ordinance — say allowing people to stand so close to moving traffic is a real safety risk that may one day result in tragedy.
But while the panhandlers are the group most affected, the ordinance change has gotten some to question whether politicians might actually also be impacted as the police chief said.
In a way, they are. If you want to run for office in Portland, you will no longer be able to stand in a median strip with a sign saying so — although I don't recall the last time I saw somebody do that (yesterday, BDN photographer Troy R. Bennett and I did see somebody in a median strip with a political sign denouncing agricultural giant Monsanto).
The more common sight during campaign season, however, might be a line of knee-high temporary election signs in those same medians. Are those now banished, too, as an unintentional byproduct of this ordinance?
While the ordinance change says nothing specifically about those signs (as long as they're not being held by a person loitering there), it does prevent people from doing anything other than passing from one side of the street to the other. Stopping to install a campaign sign at first blush appears to be breaking the new rules.
City spokeswoman Nicole Clegg clarified for me today, though, that the newly tweaked ordinance "does not apply" to the installment of political signs on the public median spaces, the activity surrounding which is regulated in part by the state.
"[S]omeone walking through and placing a sign (legally) would still be able to do so" under the revised ordinance, she wrote in response to an email query I'd sent her.
So there you go. Those election-season campaign signs will be back soon enough, and the recent ordinance change won't stop them.

Nani showed his class on Monday night in Manchester United's 2-1 win over Reading, where he came off the bench to score the first goal and set up the second. Prior to that, he had two long range efforts - one of those being a sweet volley from 20-yards which hit the post.
For many United fans, the brilliance of Nani is seen far too little as his inconsistency has been his main weakness in his years at Old Trafford. However, some of the criticism aimed towards to the Portuguese International is unfair and people need reminding that he was United's player of the season in their record-breaking title win back in 2011.
Since his arrival to England he has had the huge tag of being labelled the next Cristiano Ronaldo, his fellow countryman and teammate at the time. But Nani has been a player with great ability and talent of his own, from lovely skills and tricks to blistering long range strikes that have wowed the United faithful. During his first year, the inconsistency could be forgiven due to his young age and being a new player trying to adapt to the English game, but slowly during his second season and part way through his third fans started to become restless and even the manager seemed to be ready to sell him when it looked like he was going to fail to live up to his huge potential.
However, the penny did seem to finally drop when a virtuoso display against Arsenal at the Emirates stadium in January 2010 ignited his United career, scoring a wonderful opener before setting up a Rooney goal in a devastating counter attack. Performances from then on continued to be good and more importantly consistent, with vital goals and assists coming in games against the likes of Bayern Munich and Tottenham. It seemed the winger had grown in maturity and the fear of being sold in the summer meant he was looking to prove his critics wrong.
The following season, Nani continued where he left off and managed to reach double figures in goals for the first time in a Manchester United shirt and he also created 18 goals in the league as United went on to win their 19th league title.
Nani was also instrumental in their road to the European Cup final at Wembley, where he was unlucky not to start in the final. In the early stages of last season, Nani did not disappoint as he immediately hit the ground running with two wonderful goals against Manchester City in the Community Shield. However, after a great start to the season, injuries managed to disrupt his season and action on the pitch was limited for the dazzling winger. That's when people started to question him again, calling him a flop, inconsistent and not good enough. Again, this was all unfair for a man who had proved his worth to the club over the past season and when he did come back from injury towards the end of the season, he was once more instrumental in United's title push scoring and assisting goals.
Finally, we arrive to this current season, where Nani has struggled with form, but injuries and not enough game time have contributed to this. Also, when competing with likes of Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young and Shinji Kagawa, places on the wings are not easy to come by.
A lot of people seem to think that Nani is the worst of the lot, however when looking at the stats and comparing him to the likes of Valencia and Young, he actually gives more. He has two feet, can beat a man and can score and create goals, something that Valencia and Young aren't renowned for as much. With a good run of games, people will start to realise that Nani is United's best winger and just needs to be loved a bit more and appreciated as many top clubs would love a player with his ability in their team.
With the arrival of Wilfried Zaha this summer, all signs point to Nani leaving the club, but Sir Alex Ferguson has backed the 26-year-old before and if Nani can re-discover that consistent form from not too long ago, then there is a great chance that he will stay and become a key figure at Old Trafford once again.

Resist - Don't Enlist
I can neither confirm nor deny utterance of the C word before I could catch myself.
Resist - Don't Enlist
For shame, what sort of internet journalist are you? That calls for photographs of the offending vehicle and sticker, WITH license plate, to be widely distributed across the ether. Even cell pix would work.
Then again, perhaps she's one of these folks who use that slogan, and would just welcome the publicity. What's a Young Communist doing driving a Lexus, though?
She's stupid. #1 for having an overpriced Toyota. #2 for her bumper sticker. You know if the C word came out of your mouth, it is understandable. I'm guessing she was a bad driver too?
I don't understand why you would be angry about this. I mean, honestly, do EITHER of us really want people whose thinking can be swayed by a bumper sticker in our military?
Seems to me like it's just weeding out the dumber ones.
The point is not that the bumper sticker was meant to change the minds of people ready to join up, the point was to make her beliefs known.
She was enjoying her cushy life with her expensive car, and apparently of the belief that we'd be better off without a standing army.
Perhaps she'd prefer to be speaking German right now.
Maybe she just disagrees with one of the wars you have going on.
Or is being anti war unamerican?
I'm sorry Subby, I can't hear you over the rustling sound of the giant strawman you erected.

– There is some talk within WWE that with the way officials booked the Triple H and Brock Lesnar cage spot on RAW where Lesnar was easily knocked out of the cage, the whole reason they booked the cage match for Extreme Rules was because they didn't want to have to beat either guy.
– While WWE officials have been really hot on JBL since returning, which is why he's doing more announcing now, they do want him to work on getting new material. The feeling is that he's repeating some of his material because he's doing more shows now.
– Kevin Nash tweeted the following update on the possible tour with Scott Hall:

Ice Sound Manager was designed to ease the management of sound events, sound themes, and the IceSound server in the IceWM window manager. It is also intended to be an improvement upon the noble but primitive icesndcfg. The main improvements over icesndcfg include a support for sound event "themes", more comprehensive help, easy management and configuration of the IceSound server, a cleaner GUI interface, automatic starting of the IceSound server, and a more conservative approach to disk space usage.
IcePref2 is an updated, overhauled, improved, and perfected version of the original IcePref (which was abandoned by the original author). This new version includes many new features and bugfixes, and is a sub-project of the IceWM Control Panel project. It is optimized for IceWM 1.2.2 and better.
IceWM Control Panel is a full-featured, GTK-based control panel for IceWM. It features an IceWM theme designer, Ice Sound Manager (for sound events), IcePref2, and tools to manage desktop wallpaper, cursors, keys, window options, and more. IceWM Control Panel has a familiar, Windows-like Control Panel user interface.

Submission + - Portable fuel cell uses butane to charge gadgets (gizmag.com)
cylonlover writes: In a deal announced this week, American high-end retailer Brookstone will become the first seller of a portable fuel cell made by MIT spin-off company Lilliputian Systems Inc (LSI). Described as a "plug-less charger," it will allow users to recharge their electronic devices' batteries wherever they are – as long as they've stocked up on butane. The device is about the size of a thick smartphone, and features a solid oxide fuel cell membrane deposited onto a silicon wafer. It generates power using recyclable butane cartridges, which are around the size of a cigarette lighter. According to LSI, one of those cartridges should provide "several weeks of 'always available' Personal Power" – this is reportedly five to ten times longer than the run times offered by similarly-sized batteries.

Thread: Decorating on the cheap
Results 1 to 2 of 2
#1 Decorating on the cheap07-24-2011, 03:08 PM
I had 4 leather chairs that started cracking. They were $250 each. I knew that it was time to get new ones when even the Restore at Habitat for Humanity didn't want my rejects. I sold one at a charity consignment store here in town that gives scholarships to young people from the proceeds. It's a good all around deal, I get 65%, they get 35%, one of those win/win things.
The search went on for new chairs. The shopping is a tad limited here in Sarasota. I checked out various consignment places, as I was determined to get a great new look without any big outlay of cash.
I took a big chance, purchased for the first time from CB2, the contemporary branch of Crate & Barrel.
I'll post a pic next of how they look in the house. I was worried when they said that they were "small" chairs. They've proved to be ok, other than I have to put a cushion on mine. I'm barely 5'3", so the addition of the pillow helps me eat without feeling like a little kid. :D
This proved my theory to be creative. These chairs are supposedly outside chairs, but can be used indoors. Now if any messy little kids come, we can just take them outside to the lanai and hose them down (the chairs, not kids). :p

BETHESDA, Md. - Jamestown Community College had the largest delegation at the first Community College Undergraduate Research Initiative conference held at Montgomery Community College in Bethesda, Md., in mid-March.
Finger Lakes Community College, JCC and two other community colleges are founding members of CCURI, the goal of which is assisting community colleges nationwide in the development of undergraduate research programs.
Fourteen students in JCC's biotechnology program attended the conference and were joined by colleagues from other community colleges that have received National Science Foundation funding for undergraduate research programs. Two years ago, the NSF awarded JCC and several other community colleges $3.4 million to support biotechnology undergraduate research opportunities for students.

Jamestown Community College's biotechnology program students recently attended the first Community College Undergraduate Research Initiative conference. Pictured kneeling, from left to right, are: Maria Sena of Ashville; Cody Holzhausen of Frewsburg; Katie Trank of Perrysburg; Gabriel Hrysenko of Dunkirk; and Brittany VanDervoort of Kane, Pa. Standing, from left to right, are: Chayse Langworthy of Bolivar; Brad Cutler of Salamanca; Tim Zembryski of Panama; Miguel Alvaro of Dunkirk; Andrew Lawrence of Jamestown; Nick Anderson of Jamestown; Jessica Watson of Jamestown; James Salamone of Westfield; Andrew Gerwitz of West Valley; and biotechnology lab assistant Matthew Robbins.
JCC students Gabriel Hrysenko, Katie Trank, Andrew Lawrence and Chayse Langworthy presented their research at the conference.
"Should these students continue to be productive in their research, they could get into a scientific publication, which will help them in applications to medical school and graduate school," coordinator of JCC's biotechnology program Dr. J.M. Crisman said. "Undergraduate research has been shown to be one of the most effective ways to teach science and to develop a well-prepared science workforce. Welders learn to weld in their classes, and scientists should learn how to do science in their classes."
CCURI activities are funded by a $3.4 million NSF award announced two years ago. This year, an additional $133,000 from the NSF's Widening Implementation and Demonstration of Evidence-based Reforms Program was awarded to CCURI to support the conference in March.
"The goal of the conference was to assess actual and perceived barriers to implementing and sustaining this very successful pedagogy at community colleges, which will assist others in developing successful research programs," said Dr. Crisman. "We had community colleges from across the country at this conference."

Ana Ivanovic and Novak Djokovic cruised into the third round of the Australian Open on Wednesday, with both 21-year-old Serbs looking as if they could make another memorable run in the season's first major.
Ivanovic beat Italian Alberta Brianti 6-3, 6-2 at Rod Laver
Arena, and defending men's champion Djokovic followed with a 7-5,
6-1, 6-3 win over Frenchman Jeremy Chardy.
Top-ranked Jelena Jankovic, the only one of the emerging Serbian
trio without a major title, had a little more trouble advancing.
She held on for a 6-4, 7-5 win over Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium.
Jankovic needed a medical timeout for treatment on her right
foot in the first set and was broken three times in a
tougher-than-expected, 1-hour, 46-minute match.
Chardy matched the third-ranked Djokovic shot for shot before
wilting while trying to force a tiebreaker in the first set.
Djokovic, who ended Roger Federer's 19-match winning streak at
Melbourne Park in last year's semifinals, was dominating on his
serve against Chardy, faltering only when he was broken at love
while serving for the match.
But he broke right back, finishing it off when Chardy netted a
forehand on match point.
"Today I feel really happy with the way I played," Djokovic
said. "I played very well in the second and third sets."
Ivanovic lost the last Australian Open final to Maria Sharapova,
then won her first Grand Slam title at the French Open and gained
the No. 1 ranking.
Now seeded fifth, she is drawing inspiration from her last run
here. Sharapova is not defending the title because of a shoulder
"I was in this situation before French Open last year, coming
into the tournament as pretty serious finalist," she said. "That
experience will help me a lot to approach this Australian Open."
Dictating play and ripping winners into the corners, Ivanovic
repeatedly took advantage of Brianti's weak serve. The 28-year-old
Italian held serve only three times.
No. 169-ranked Brianti needed treatment for her lower back and
took a medical time out after getting broken to fall behind 3-0 in
the second set.
She returned to break Ivanovic's serve and held to pull back to
3-2, but lost the next three games. Ivanovic, pushing the limits
with her shots, had the same number of winners as unforced errors
She won 17 of her 27 net approaches, a sign she's growing in
confidence moving forward.
"I improved a lot since last match. I was committing much more,
coming to the net more often," she said, adding she still had
plenty to improve.
"When you come against top players or high-ranked players, you
automatically raise your level and your consistency. That's
something that I can do."
Another Serb, women's No. 1 Jelena Jankovic, was playing later
No. 3 Dinara Safina overcame 44 unforced errors in a 6-7 (3),
6-3, 6-0 win over fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova and will next
play No. 25 Kaie Kanepi of Estonia.
Safina lost to a qualifier in the first round here last year,
but went on to be runner-up at the French Open, take the Olympic
silver medal and reach the U.S. Open semifinals.
No. 10 Nadia Petrova had a 6-3, 6-2 win over India's Sania
Mirza. No. 26 Ai Sugiyama of Japan defeated Nathalie Dechy of
France 1-6, 6-1, 6-3 and next faces Jankovic.
On the men's side, No. 11 David Ferrer of Spain had a 6-2, 6-2,
6-1 win over 31-year-old qualifier Dominik Hrbaty, who helped
Slovakia win the Hopman Cup title in Perth earlier this month.
Safina's brother, 2005 champion Marat Safin, set up a potential
third-round matchup with Federer, whom he beat en route to his
title here four years ago. Safin beat Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of
Spain 7-5, 6-2, 6-2.
Second-ranked Federer's quest to tie Pete Sampras' record 14th
Grand Slam title continued Wednesday in a second-round match
against Russian Evgeny Korolev.

The groups began work at about 9 a.m. and worked about three hours before returning to the Castle Valley LDS Church for lunch and a couple of hours of fun activities as part of the Moab LDS Stake's opening social, an annual youth event held at the beginning of the school year.
The youth performed admirably last Saturday, especially since it was a hot day and some of them were probably sleep deprived because of the Grand County homecoming activities the night before, but I didn't hear any grumblings from anyone during the projects.
* * *
After those unusually intense high temperatures that we were experiencing the first week of September, the recent rain has come as a welcome relief. My neighborhood received over 1.5 inches of rain during the 36 hours that the storms rolled through beginning Sunday evening. Our area has been under a flash flood warning, but for the most part the rain was fairly light and steady. Castle Valley Road Manager Greg Halliday said there was no flooding in the town but most of the drainages had water running in them and he is concerned that a heavy rain could wash out the saturated Plaser Creek crossings.
The La Sal Mountains received 2.10 inches of rain during the period, which accounts for the flooding of Castle Creek in Castleton. Frank Mendonca said he received 1.37 inches the last two days but he says that, "since the July 28 storm scoured the creek, it has taken surprising little rain to make the creek flood." The creek in Castleton was flooding all day Monday, Sept. 9 and most of the following day.
* * *
The Day Star Adventist Academy of Castle Valley began fall classes Monday, Aug. 19 and students are adjusting into their routine of academic, religious, and vocational classes. Twenty-seven students are enrolled at the school and they come mostly from California and Colorado, as well as from many other states across the nation. There is also one student from Canada.
The students and some staff members will leave Friday, Sept. 13 for survival week near Norwood, Colo. where they will learn to exist in the wild. As part of the experience, they will spend 24 hours individually without a tent or food and will be given the option of a sleeping bag if they desire one. This will give them the opportunity to apply what they learned to survive by themselves without the conveniences associated with modern camping – a skill they might need sometime if they get lost while hiking in the backcountry. Early next year, the students will also leave on a mission trip to help build homes or hospitals in a third-world country.
Alexa Hernandez was selected to be the new principal at the school this year and Jerry Harris assumed the position of administrator, a job he held before. He still spends a lot of his time out in the farm working with his brother, Tom, the farm manager.
* * *
Thirty years ago this week, The Day Star Adventist Academy, formerly known as the Castle Valley Institute, had just completed its new commercial cannery and was embarking on a new venture to process pickles for commercial resale.
Ken Widstrand was working closely with the project and said at the time that they were hoping to find a wholesale outlet for the product but indications were that there would be a potential market for the pickles. A large order of pickles was sent to a company, which in turn distributed them to see if the market was receptive to the product.
The attractive jar was packed with a simple recipe of cucumber wedges, a sprinkling of onions, dill seed, and garlic, with carrot sticks evenly spaced in the jar to add color. A lemon solution was then added to the ingredients before sealing the jar. The cannery utilized the students for the workforce in the operation, which is part of their work/study program at the school.
I don't believe the pickle operation is still in existence today, but they raised a large amount of cucumbers for several years on their farm.
Another item in "Castle Valley Comments" that year was another story about members and guests of the Castle Valley LDS Church. They hiked up Negro Bill Canyon to Morning Glory Arch, where they ate dinner under the arch before returning. Some prepared tinfoil dinners while others cooked hot dogs over a campfire.

Bulls Ticket Info
The Chicago Bulls were once again without former league MVP Derrick Rose for much of last season. Despite losing their best player, the Bulls were still able to compile 48 wins, good enough for 4th in the Eastern Conference. Led by first-team All NBA selection Joakim Noah, Chicago was once again one of the toughest defensive teams in the league. As the number four seed, they squared off against the upstart Washington Wizards. They were defeated in just five games and sent home earlier than expected. With D Rose back healthy next year, the Bulls should be a completely different team. Led by former NBA Coach of the Year Tom Thibodeau, the Bulls should remain a top-tier contender for years to come.
If you've never experienced a game in the United Center then you're missing out. The former home of Air Jordan is an incredible venue for the NBA. Next time you find yourself in the Windy City be sure to check out a Bulls game. GoTickets has a great selection of 2016-2017 Chicago Bulls tickets so order yours today!

Loveland's Verboten Brewing could be getting some national TV attention, but exactly what form that will take is still hush-hush.
A crew from the Travel Channel will be filming Tuesday afternoon at the brewery at 1550 Taurus Court, according to co-owner Joe Akers.
Akers said he's not allowed to talk about what sort of show the cable network is working on, and he's not sure what will end up on the air.
But he does know to expect the crew at 1 p.m., and he's hoping people who want to see the filming taking place and who want to possibly get on TV will show up at the craft brewery.
Akers hinted that the film crew is interested in the local collaboration that the brewery has been doing.
"We've done some really cool things," he said.
One such collaboration involved Dancing Pines Distillery across the street.
"We gave them a beer, they distilled it and put it in an oak barrel and made a whiskey of it," he said. Then Dancing Pines gave the barrels to Verboten, which made the same beer in the whiskey-flavored barrels.
Verboten also worked on projects with Loveland's Spring44 Distilling and Fort Collins' Feisty Spirits.
Those beers will be released Tuesday.
Yet another collaboration involved several local components.
Verboten gave some of its spent grain from the brewing process to a local farmer, who fed it to his pigs. Those pigs then were slaughtered, and Loveland's Boar and Bull butcher shop made sausage out of the pork.
Loveland's Fresh Plate Catering is using the meat from Boar and Bull in several courses, paired with Verboten beers, and will sell the food at the brewery Tuesday.
Finally, the brewery's Verboten Sisterhood beer-making and beer-appreciation club will have a special meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday.
"The exposure to Loveland is going to be great. That's what we want," Akers said. "The more people that come into Loveland, the more people benefit."

Why should this be up to an application at all? You either have a secure install or you don't, if you do, then no application would have the authority to run outside of the rules, if you don't, you have to acknowledge it as a user and force the OS not to bother forcing this.
It's FIRST: User's choice. Second: OS enforcement. Distant third: what an individual application is doing.
So if the user says: Enforce, then all calls to OS routines to allocate memory for example must be rerouted by the OS through th
Just enforce the DEP and ASLR system wide and see what breaks. I personally couldn't imagine doing anything else. Few clicks and that's it.
DEP sounds similar to what simcity did back in the dos days, use memory after it had freed it. Funny thing is, microsoft made sure that if windows detected a dos binary named simcity do that, it would allow it. This to maintain backwards-compatibility.
and i suspect this is also why DEP is made optional pr program, as there may have been some lazy code written back in the day thats still in use somewhere.
[citation needed]
heh, seems it was the win3.x version, not the dos version, but still:
http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000054.html [joelonsoftware.com]
DEP isn't really similar to that at all. That was a case of misusing a memory manager, which is bad behavior and can cause security holes, but doesn't really count as failing to use a security feature. DEP - Data Execute Protection - does just what it sounds like: it prevents the data (stack and heap) of a program's memory representation from being executed. More specifically, if the instruction pointer tries to move to a page of memory that has the NX (No eXecute) bit set, it throws a hardware interrupt an
The problem is, a lot of programs - especially those that execute any kind of code, such a JavaScript in Foxit or ActionScript in Flash - use executable code in data pages legitimately, and intentionally call into it. The CPU doesn't know the difference, so those programs get killed too. The OS *can* know the difference - you can set exemptions for specific apps in Windows - but adding such an exemption just turns of DEP for that program entirely.
Any application that doesn't run unless exempted from DEP should be considered seriously broken and require fixing (indeed, this is how it is for MS's own software). Any application that needs writable-executable data pages for whatever reason (JIT etc) should use the appropriate API calls to request OS to change page permissions from writable to executable and back as needed.
It's already been the user's choice since WinXP SP2. The deal is, 1) you cannot turn it on by default because many apps will break. 2) most users are ignorant, they wouldn't know about the choice, understand the choice, or figure out what to do if stuff doesn't work and how to exclude them if desirable.

Can we please stop calling everything "apps" and go back to programs. App is getting to be as annoying as blog.
"App" has been short for "application" for a long time. I'm more annoyed by people who think it's specific to the iPhone (an intranet blog at work not long ago claimed (with no iContext, it was about the progress of technology rather than anything directly Apple-related) that the "first app" appeared in 2008).
In my understanding, "application" means a piece of software with which users interact directly. "Program" means a piece of software in general, even kernels and libraries are programs. As "program" comes from a broader meaning (a set of contents/instructions, a plan) it is not limited to user interaction.
Nevertheless, I keep using the word "program" for applications. Probably because, back in the days of Basic et al, we talked about writing "programs", and "application" was a later term I associate with
To me, apps are modules of code you find on smartphones. Applets are Java based pieces of code. Applications are executables made for a general purpose computer like a Windows machine, Mac, or pSeries. Programs are a catch-all, but I tend to use the word programs for code written on a full computer OS, as opposed to a smartphone.
I guess it's a matter of perspective...

or hired guns pulling black ops missions on the people writing the malware.
Defeating DEP in and of itself is trivial. That's what ASLR is for. It's still technically possible to exploit an application that uses both, but it's much, much harder, and generally speaking you can't get a guarantee of success like you can with a return-to-shellcode or return-to-libc attack - the first of which DEP prevents and the second of which ASLR prevents.
Data execution prevention is a no-brainer. Unix has had that since the 1970s.
ASLR, though, is iffy. Randomizing the position of code in memory is a form of security through obscurity. If there's a bug that's exploitable with ASLR, it's a bug that can crash the program without it. It also makes debugging harder. No two crash dumps for the same bug are the same. Not even close.
What's more useful is running applications with very limited privileges. If the browser's renderer can't do much except render the single page it's supposed to be rendering, then corruption within it isn't a big deal. Firefox's approach to running plugins in a separate process is a big step forward, and the more jail-like that process becomes, the better. You really need a mandatory security model like SELinux to make this work, and Windows doesn't have that.
None - ASLR affects the initial base location where various program sections are placed, so code & data locality remains the same relative to each other.
None, really. ASLR doesn't mean that every single instruction winds up somewhere random, it just means that when loading a file of executable code - either a program or a library - it places the in-memory representation at a random address. This means you can't, for example, do a return-to-libC attack by simply figuring out the address that your target platform places its C runtime at; it will instead be different on every system and every day. However, within any given binary, the relative locations of ins
You really need a mandatory security model like SELinux to make this work, and Windows doesn't have that.
Oh? Since Vista, Windows can run executables in "low integrity mode". When a low integrity mode process is started, the security token of the process (which is inherited from the user) is stripped of all admin privileges, stripped of write access to anywhere but a designed cache area and barred from making changes to the registry.
Basically, Windows allows a user account to be sub-divided based on the activity the account is used for. If it is a potentially internet faced activity the app should use low-inte
for an app such as IE (or Chrome) to allow files to be downloaded, a separate "helper" or "broker" process must be used. [...] a lower integrity process *can not* send messages to a higher privileged process.
Then how does IE tell its "broker" what to do?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Bb250462 [microsoft.com]
Agreed, seems like security theatre to me. ASLR makes legitimate debugging a pain, and what's the benefit? It's the computing equivalent of airport security.
Furthermore, DEP sounds good, but my eyes were opened recently to return-oriented programming, which allows arbitrary exploits to run without ever modifying any executable code. And ASLR/DEP are useless when the exploits run as managed code anyway: a common attack vector ever since the first MS Word macro viruses.
ASLR, though, is iffy. Randomizing the position of code in memory is a form of security through obscurity.
Yes, and guess what? Security through obscurity works, too. It's not foolproof, for sure, but it can make it much harder to break something. Especially - as is the case with ASLR - the "obscured" bits change every time.
The direct analogy would be passwords - they are themselves a classic example of security through obscurity (indeed, the security of the password-protected system hinges on only trusted person/people knowing the password, and no-one else), and the more often you change them, the more secure y

I'd be a bit surprised if Java could take advantage of either of these mechanisms due to the nature of the dynamic compiler and class-loading, without major, major problems.
It is entirely possible to take advantage of these counter-measures. I believe that Java on BSD does something like copying memory around to support the NX bit and still allow the running process to write new code. The restriction that is enforced is that a memory block cannot be *both* executable *and* writable. It is perfectly ok to write memory and then switch it to executable code.

You simply have to ask for memory that doesn't have the NX bit set when requesting a memory allocation.
Translation: You don't call malloc(), you use VirtualAlloc with the right flags. Then you get a block of memory back that can be executed.

DEP should be handled by the operating system, not the apps.
Some applications still need to be aware of the operating system's DEP facility. (See discussion above [slashdot.org] for why.)
First of all, DEP is technically a kernel feature, or at least parts of it require kernel support. MS even wrote a completely software-based feature that tries to implement DEP on systems without the NX bit (it's not perfect, but it helps a bit).
Windows has 4 settings for DEP enforcement:
* Turn it all off (generally not used, unless you have a misbehaving driver). This option is only available if you know where to look; it's not in the UI
* Turn it on if a program opts in (most MS software do
There's nothing wrong with installing a program in the Application directory; it's pretty much the norm on Windows for per-user installations. Think of it as equivalent to ~/bin on Unix systems. Of course that doesn't fit in well for enterprise environments, but Google does provide a pack installer for managed systems, [google.com] which installs under "Program Files" and lets you disable auto-updates. And while the current version of Chrome is lacking other enterprise features, the next version will have full support for GPO configuration, Admin templates, and all the other things you'd expect in an enterprise.
As for your absurd claim that per-user installations are somehow a security vulnerability, you're going to have to provide something to back that up. Because I've spent about 15 years in the information security field I can't even get close to a rationale for that one.

Hi guys I have the following code the gets executed when a button is clicked. Basiclly i am trying to read a string, character by character using the substring method.
I am trying to compare the individual character in the string with a character. I have the code below but its not working. What seems to happen is that my vowel counter is incrementing when there is no match. The if statment should return false if no match is found. I have a text field. If i enter ten characters, then the loop will be executed ten times and each time it will say a match has been found,, when no match has really been found. Can any one help?
Code:public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) { String singleChar=""; String wholeString = fieldText.getText(); int TotalChars = wholeString.length(); int vowelCount=0; int i=0; while(i < TotalChars) { singleChar = wholeString.substring(i, i + 1); if (singleChar=="a"); { vowelCount++; System.out.println("match"); } System.out.println(singleChar); i++; } JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Total number of vowels: " + vowelCount); }

I have this music box that sat on my great-grandmother's piano back in the early 1950's when I was a child, and it seemed pretty old back then. I wonder if anyone can tell me anything about the value so I know whether or not to insure it. The base it about 7" at its widest point, and about 13" high. The shape of the base is octagonal and it has 9 angels or cherubs playing various instruments around the steeple that has a small bell in it. The piece needs some serious cleaning and one cherub needs to be re-glued. Information on the large label: Thorens Movement; Grosser Gott/wir loben Dich; Die Himmel ruhmen; Made in Swizterland. The small stamp shows: Geschwister; Steinbach; Homenmamlen; G.M.B.H. There is also a stamp that says "Made in Germany" and underneath "Western Zone", and the initials "A.T." are also stamped on the bottom. The movement does work as well as it did over 50 years ago.

I have a Stock summit vxl running it with 1 stock battery. Its great but id like to go a little faster SAFELY without having to modify anything else so i have 3 questions
1) can i run 2 nimh batteries safely and will this increase speed?
2) if i run 1 lipo will this increase speed
3) can i run 2 lipos safely keeping the truck stock?

1 Lipo increases the speed dramatically.
You can run 2 lipos parallel to increase run time...but don't series them. the motor/ESC can't handle the voltage.
I'd recommend running a single Lipo instead of two.
The extended run time running two will heat the motor up pretty good.
After running mine with a Venom 1300 20c 11.1v lipo...I don't think I'd want it any faster. It flat out hauls.
"Dude,I almost had you"

So what traxxas lipo battery should i get for the vxl?
PM coming your way.
"Dude,I almost had you"
R.I.P Paul Walker
How about this one?
Check this out on AMZN: 25C 11.1V 3S 3-Cell 1400mAh Lipo Batty:TRA 1... http://amzn.com/B005FUKPLO
That appears to be the one that Traxxas recommends.
"Dude,I almost had you"
R.I.P Paul Walker
you don't need 3s, you are going to break things on 3s with this truck. I run 2S and its plenty fast for my son and for me when I'm playing with it. 3S would be like my big truck where its really not fun anymore IMHO.
I agree to a point.
You definitely need serious throttle control when running 3s.
I've already broken parts.(both center shafts and an axle shaft.)
I put the Traxxas wheelie bar on mine...and with a Lipo...it's useless from a dead stop.
it will still do a standing backflip(I think it's even easier with the wheelie bar,lol)
It does help tremendously when grabbing the throttle while you are already moving.
"Dude,I almost had you"
R.I.P Paul Walker
The worst traxxas 1/16 vehicle to run on 3S is the summit. The larger tire size and more extreme angle of the drive shafts due to the longer travel rockers and arms will result in overheating issues and broken driveshafts if your not very careful. You CAN do it... but the amount of self control you have to use while your driving almost makes it less fun. Get a couple good 2S packs and you can hold the truck full throttle and not have to concentrate so hard on throttle control. Plus, you wont have to worry AS MUCH about heat. Itll still get hot. They all do. But not nearly as fast as with a 3S
So which battery should i get, preferably traxxas?
So far these are the most powerful traxxas lipos i can find traxxad 2820
Right now i plan on using just 1 lipo - is it an improvement in speed and runtime over the stock nimh?
if i run 2 at a time - will that break stuff on the car? I dont want to have to change gearing etc. Also what part do i need to run 2 lipos at the same time?
What part do i need to run 2 nimh at the same time?
Traxxas website says speed will be increased just by running a second battery is this true?
Last edited by jwalker497; 01-20-2013 at 10:06 AM.
If you run 2 2s lipos you want to parrallel them. That will not break any more than 1 2s lipo, it will just give longer run times. Just 1 lipo will give you little difference in run time. The difference in top speed from a nihm to 2s lipo is not alot. But the power, and time to get to top speed is way more. You will need a tra3064 to run 2 2s lipo's

Thanks west!
If i wanted to run 2 stock nimh would i newd a diff paralell connector?
I wouldn't run two at a time unless its really cold where you live. The small stock nimh maybe, but the lipos will are larger capacity and likely will cause overheating problems if you run 2 at a time.
Right...most 2s Lipos I've seen max out at 8.4v.
In series that gives you 16.8v...which is more than the max rating of the motor/esc 14.4v.
From what I've found...top speed with a single 3s Lipo is just about the same as you would get with 2 nimh packs run in series.
A single 2s lipo should be slightly slower.
"Dude,I almost had you"
R.I.P Paul Walker
The series connector and parallel connector are the same price...and your LHS will probably have both in stock.
FYI... be sure to change the settings on your ESC when switching from nimh to lipo and back.
"Dude,I almost had you"
R.I.P Paul Walker
You run 2 or 3s lipos in parallel only. But you can run the stock nimh packs in parallel Or series. Parallel for more run time or series for more speed. In series you'll get a lot of heat. You'll get a lot of heat with 3s as well. If you want to run it all the time you need to gear down for sure. But with a 2s you should be safe to just run it with no changes.
Ok..I'll ask a couple questions...
Does anyone have data about top speed differences between two nimh in series,one 2s Lipo and one 3s lipo?
I'm pretty sure that the top speed will be about the same for the 3s lipo and the pair of nimh in series.
What I'm curious about is how much slower would it be with a 2s Lipo.
"Dude,I almost had you"
R.I.P Paul Walker
If you are getting heat issues with 2 2s lipos in parallel, then you probablly need to gear down. 16 tooth pinion is stock, I run an 18 with 2 2s, and have no heat issues, unless I am running in heavy grass.
The adapter will be the same with nihm or llipo. 2 nihm's in series is pretty fast. Two nihms in series would be about the same speed if not a little faster than a 3s. That is of course where the heat issues arise though.
One 2s or 2 2s will be the same speed, just more run time. With 2 2s 1300 mah in parallel, I get around 40 minutes plus depending on the type of running I am doing. IMHO 3s, or 2 nihm series, is just to fast and out of control, I enjoy the running, compared to the repairing. It also hard on bodies, because you spend alot of time upside down, LOL
Rusty 2.5R,T-max 2.5 & 3.3,Summit VXL Nitro 4-tec
Yes...the Velineon VxL3m.
"Dude,I almost had you"
R.I.P Paul Walker
In a brushless vehicle speed is all about voltage. I cant give you exact numbers but as a very VERY inaccurate generalization, a 3S will be ABOUT (again, very loose generalization) %50 faster than 2S. 2X nimh packs will be every so slightly faster than a single 3S for the first few minutes of the run, then they will equal out (once the voltage in the NIMH batteries begins to drop).
A single 2S lipo charges to 8.4volts, a single 3S lipo charges to 12.6 volts. A single 6cell NIMH pack charges to about 8.2 volts so 2 of them would charge to around 16.4 volts. BUT, the little 1/16 NIMH packs deliver very low amps... so the pack is constantly being stressed. This causes the voltage to drop MUCH faster than a decent lipo. So while the difference in 2X NIMH packs is more than 4 volts higher than the 3S lipo, the lipo will maintain its voltage LONG after the NIMH packs have dropped their voltage to well below the voltage of the 3S lipo. Put simply, at first the 2X Nimh packs will be faster, but only for a very short time. The 3S lipo will be faster for nearly the whole run.
The 2S lipos run in parallel will give you LONG run times... thats the way to go for sure.
I agree robl45...I'd rather run a single lipo...and let it cool down for a few minutes between runs.
"Dude,I almost had you"
R.I.P Paul Walker
Ok while appreciate the info - i think i'm more confused! Let me see if i understand. Again i want to aboid breaking stuff or changing gearing etc.
1) So running 2 nimh is parallel safe, in that i wont break anything. this will give me more runtime but no more speed!
2) 2 lipos in parell is also safe
3) 2 nimh in series is too much and will risk breaking stuff.
4) 2 lipos in series is way too much
5) 3s lipo is too much as well and may break stuff
6) to run lipos or nimh in paralell, i need traxxas part TRA3064
7) to run lipos or nimh, i need traxxas part 3063

Not going to waste these...so I'll just have to be careful.

So if I run 2 NIMH in Paralelle WHich traxxas or venom battery is a good choice and will fit the Summit VXL?
2 of the same Traxxas nimh that came with the Summit would be perfect.
Does Venom even sell nimh battery packs?
"Dude,I almost had you"

I agree with robl45.
From what I've noticed...the NIMH starts out fast...and gets slower as the battery pack drains.
The Lipo seems to have full speed until drained...and then just stops completely .

"Today, I'm officially retiring a Pittsburgh Steeler. And as much as I will miss football, my teammates, coaches and everything about the game, I don't want to play it in any other uniform. The black and gold runs deep in me, and I will remain a Steeler for life."--Hines Ward
Can James Harrison please show up.
Thank You

Sorry for all the questions!
