I stand at the extreme height of 5'10" (minus 3") and am very average in weight. I have red hair as does most of my family. I also wear glasses and have for most of my life. I really do not know what I look like without glasses. Ok lets just lay it all out on the table here. I also have freckles and I can not really tan. I just get a bad sun burn. So I am pretty much a dork but I like to think of myself as a cool dork.
I graduated high school in 1998 and went on to achieve great things (not really) in the retail world. I was a manager for a major retail company for five years. I will let you figure out what "major" and I mean "major" retail company I have worked for. As time has gone on I have decided to return to college and get a degree in "I don't know" and start a new career. I hope to start college in the spring and with any luck I will be wearing one of those funny graduation dresses in four years.
I am a proud uncle of two nieces and two nephews. The oldest is Teresa and she is nine. Brandon is second at the age of eight. Kelsey comes in third at the age of five and the forth one would be Andrew who is soon to be three. Ha Ha and you thought that was all. My sister is pregnant again. That would mean there will soon be five. Good thing I only have one sister and no brothers.
I am a Denver Broncos fan and will die a Broncos fan (or I would not be on this blog). My greatest memories of the Broncos are the two Super Bowl wins. I grew up watching John Elway passing the ball to Rod Smith, Eddy Mac, and Shannon Sharpe. I remember when Terrell Davis got his 2000 yards. I also remember Steve Atwater and just how good he was. The fact is I was raised a Bronco fan. Was born on a Wednesday and was watching the Broncos play the Raiders on Sunday.
Ok now let's finish this up. I am single and not in a hurry to get married but when I do I hope to have five or six kids. I also like hockey and basketball but not a big fan of baseball. I am a Christian and believe in Jesus Christ. I like music. Not all music. Just the songs that sound good. I like to go camping but have not gone in awhile. I also like to fish but have only gone one time this year. I have a dirt bike but have not ridden it in about two years. I have a set of skis but have not gone skiing in about three years. Well I guess I spend a lot of time on the internet and watching TV. Dang I am a dork. I used to go out with friends and hang out at bars. I would stay up all night. Now I'm just a big dork. Why didn't you guys tell me this a long time ago? LOL. Oh and if you did not get that earlier I am only 5'7".

Is there a way to rip an audio CD to an ISO9660 file? I've tried simple things like
dd in the past and it hasn't worked. I'd like to essentially have a mirror image of exactly what's on the disk, not even necessarily a folder of WAV files.
I do understand that I could rip the CD to WAV files or even FLAC files, but is there a way to just duplicate the disc to one file, so I could extract WAVs or FLACs from it later on? The idea is to be able to make a virtually identical copy of the source media.

In real life, unless you're attending a USO show, you're unlikely to run into a celebrity in a war zone. However, the TV show, M*A*S*H, wasn't real and managed to last longer than the actual war during which the series was set. For 11 years, the 4077 Mobile Army Medical Unit served in Korea, treating patients and welcoming visitors. While most weren't famous faces, a few were already known and others would become famous after their M*A*S*H appearance.
Over the course of 256 episodes, Hawkeye Pierce, Margaret "Hot Lips" Holihan, Maxwell Q. Klinger, Father Mulcahy, and the other doctors and nurses who passed through the 4077th through the years did the best they could to save as many lives as they could in tough conditions. It didn't matter to them that the person on their stretcher was a famous person making a special appearance or an extra hoping that their M*A*S*H scene would be their big break.
If you're a huge M*A*S*H fan, you're going to love this quiz. How many celebrities will you know? Will you remember their appearance? Or will you realize that you've seen every episode and still can't tie the celebrity to their M*A*S*H appearance? The only way to find out how well you know these M*A*S*H guest stars is to take the quiz!

Political unrest, natural disasters, debt crises and drug trafficking can suddenly flare into front-page news, and unfortunately there is no place that's completely immune. If you have reservations on a cruise that's sailing to a part of the world that's producing troubling headlines, don't worry, here are some tips:
First, work with a cruise travel professional who can help you obtain accurate information about the situation and provide guidance if you need to assess your options. If you decide to alter your plans, it's best to work with a professional who can expertly navigate the rules and requirements for any cancellation or rebooking fees.
Second, keep in mind that cruise lines continually monitor conditions in their ports of call and will redirect ships when necessary. For example, many cruise lines cancelled their port calls in Egypt in early 2011 as that country deposed its leader amid mass demonstrations. Cruise lines and their captains are accustomed to visiting alternate ports when security, or weather, demands it.
Third, do some research to understand the true risk of danger in your destination. Images and sound bites on television or the web may present a legitimate cause for concern, but further investigation may show that problems like violence, demonstrations, wildfires or flooding are limited in scope and not near the areas you'll visit.
Of course, no destination is completely without danger, any more than the city or town where you live. There's always a chance, however small, that an accident, pickpocket or thief could put a damper on your vacation. So, follow some common-sense rules. Don't explore on your own; leave your valuables at home; keep track of your belongings; and, on port days, be sure to return to the ship by the specified time.
Learn how travel insurance can help safeguard your vacation.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – After a furious comeback that saw a two-goal deficit erased with under five minutes to play, the Harvard women's hockey team kept its cool in the shootout and skated past Northeastern, 3-3 (2-1 shootout), to advance to the Beanpot final, Tuesday at Conte Forum. The victory allows the Crimson to advance to its fourth-straight Beanpot final and gives it a chance to tie Northeastern's record of 14 career tournament titles.
The Crimson looked composed on a power-play midway through the third period, keeping the Northeastern shots to a minimum. With under five minutes showing on the clock, the Crimson turned up the heat on offense and manufactured its second goal of the game. Liza Ryabkina controlled the puck deep in the Northeastern zone and found a streaking Ashley Wheeler in front of the net and the senior fired into the upper corner past Leah Sulyma's glove with 4:14 left.
With the momentum on its side, the Crimson struck again just 58 second later to tie the game at 3-3. Ryabkina winged a pass back to Marissa Gedman at the blue line and the freshman blistered a low shot that hummed past Sulyma's right blocker for Harvard's equalizer. The Crimson had a handful of looks down the stretch, but regulation ended with the score knotted at 3-3.
Despite outshooting the Huskies, 5-0, in the extra frame, the Crimson couldn't muster the game-winner and the contest turned to a best-of-three shootout. Dempsey took the first shot for the Crimson and a smooth fake worked to perfection, putting Harvard up 1-0. The Crimson held the 1-0 lead until Alyssa Wohlfeiler, Northeastern's final shooter, bested Laura Bellamy to knot the score at 1-1. Josephine Pucci was next to go for Harvard and the sophomore blue-liner fired past Sulyma for a 2-1 lead and a gutsy save from Bellamy on the Huskies' final attempt sealed the shootout victory for the Crimson.
The Northeastern power-play showed its teeth on its first attempt as the Huskies jumped out to a 1-0 lead. Rachel Llanes tipped a Maggie Dimasi shot past Bellamy to give the home team a 1-0 edge at 9:31 of the opening period. Just over two minutes later, the Huskies doubled their lead on a Casey Pickett tally at 11:36. A Northeastern penalty gave the Crimson a skater advantage with three minutes to play in the stanza but the Huskies produced an effective kill to keep the score at 2-0 after one.
Back-to-back Northeastern penalties gave the Crimson four minutes with an extra skater at the top of the second frame but tight goaltending from Sulyma kept the Crimson at bay. Riding the momentum from consecutive kills, Northeastern notched its third goal shortly after it returned to even strength. Lori Antflick took feeds from Siena Falino and Kristi Kehoe and lifted a shot past Bellamy for a 3-0 lead at 14:48.
The Crimson showed its own power-play presence on the next Northeastern penalty, getting on the board with 7:39 to go in the second stanza. Josephine Pucci controlled the puck in the Northeastern zone and fended off defenders while Kate Buesser collected the puck, weaved towards the net and bested Sulyma stick-side for her 10th goal of the season. Harvard outshot the Huskies 10-1 in the middle period and 35-18 in the game.
Harvard returns to its conference schedule this weekend as it takes on Clarkson, Friday, and St. Lawrence Saturday in a key ECAC road weekend.

His unique photographic works are in many private and public collections worldwide including Prince Al Waleed Bin Talal of Soudi Arabia and actress Susan Sarandon . He is considered by many to be highly collected flower photographer.His work is created by using Sinar 8x10 inch camera.

The last Fraser show for the Polish-born, Canada-based artist was a crowd-pleaser, thanks to Pluta's large-scale, boisterously colorful floral images, which were clearly visible through the gallery's plate-glass windows from 100 feet away. This time, Pluta has stuck with this idea — offering highly infused renderings of flowers, subtly distorted by such tricks as submerging the flowers beneath rippling water. The current show, though heavily weighted (as was the first) toward reds and pinks benefits when Pluta experiments with other hues, as in the wispy Yellow Flowers or the mesmerizing arrangement of colors in Blue Abstract, which range from aqua to an indigo so dark that it verges on black. In Wild Violets, Pluta finds a winning formula by photographing translucent, deep-purple-pinstriped petals amid a forest of parallel green stalks; in Wild Rose, he faithfully reproduces the veins and spines of flat green leaves, paying homage to the cameraless botanical studies made in the earliest days of photography.

Fashion resolutions for 2013: wear less black, accessorize more
It's that time of the year when we're tempted to make resolutions. Fashion and shopping deserve consideration along with all the pledges to eat better and exercise more.
I polled a few fashion leaders around town and here's what they had to say.
Nancy Sagar, public relations director, Neiman Marcus: "My resolution is to make a clean sweep of my current wardrobe, consolidate my black pants and skirts and add light and bright things to my closet!"
Stephanie Ohnmacht, Denver designer: "Support clothing designers who produce in the USA."
Charlie Price, creative director for Antoine du Chez. says his wishes are "— kinda boring. To save more money by not spending so much on photo shoots! And of course trying to keep my middle-aged body from getting too fat."
Mona Lucero, Denver designer: "Accessorize and exercise. To accessorize with more drama and to exercise to look great and to feel happy. Mostly, both are about having fun and taking better care of myself, which I encourage everyone to do."
Rachel Lefort, image consultant: "I would say my fashion resolution (and advice) is to invest in more quality pieces that endure, and buy less of the cheap thrills that do not wear well or last as long."
Denise Snyder, owner of Mariel: "My new year fashion resolution is to try to wear less black! The good news is they are showing nothing but beautiful colors for spring and lots of beautiful clothes."
Vanessa Barcus, owner of Goldyn: "To stay true to myself and my own style, regardless of trends or fads."
Lauren Metz, owner of Delish Demure: My fashion resolutions are: find the perfect pattern leggings and jeans, and bring back the peplum on key pieces in my closet. And I'm not going to be afraid of color and color blocking."
Brandi Shigley, fashion promoter and handbag designer: "My resolution for 2013 is to make use of what I have. I want to find new ways to put together pieces that are already in my wardrobe and find different ways to wear them. It might be modifying the piece (changing out buttons on a favorite sweater, cutting off sleeves and turning an old tee into a dress, etc.) Also, I've just inherited some beautiful vintage capes that I want to incorporate into my wardrobe as well. I have lot of clothes. I definitely DON'T need to be buying anymore. That includes handbags ;)"
Fallene Wells, Denver designer: "My fashion resolutions is to get my designs in Denver boutiques. My personal fashion resolution is that I would like to be open to trying new trends that might be out of my comfort zone, like shorter hem lengths with tights and dressing in more solids with accessories."
Milena Joy, image consultant: "I'm going to be diligent about my personal beauty routines by adding everything from reminders to replace my Clarisonic brush head and mascara every three months to pre-setting appointments for haircuts, facials and manicures onto my 2013 calendar! These little beauty treats are the first to fall by the wayside when work gets hectic, but I know they are important to keep me looking and feeling good all year!"
Michael Moore of Simply Moore Studio has this fashion advice: "Follow trends that work for you. If you're confused about what works, ask an honest friend.
Metallic eyeshadow and liners were fabulous this holiday season, but the party's over. Metallic is out if used in excess. Go for shimmer now, not frost."
Molly Brenneman, designer for My Lola jewelry: "My resolution is to dress up more. One of the great things about fashion in Denver is that it leans to a more casual look, which makes going out a pretty easy affair. But there is something to be said for the way women dressed 60, 70 years ago that I see returning to the style of clothes coming out in 2013…more tailored, well-cut lines to flatter a woman's shape and showcase, rather than hide, one's curves.
Also, "To step outside my comfort zone as a designer. Being a jewelry designer means I get to create the jewelry I would like to wear. It can be easy to fall into comfortable designs. I hope to embrace new techniques and influences."
I have a few pledges I'd like to float as well, including:
Stop being blinded by sales and buy what I truly love and need. I recall a wardrobe consultant once telling me, "The most expensive clothes in your closet are the ones you never wear, no matter what you paid for them."
Focus on buying items that are of the best quality I can afford. Make sure I love what I buy, and buy less.
Purchase American-made goods whenever I can.
Clean out my closet on a regular basis. Having too much to look at is annoying and a waste of time in the long run.
Do you have resolutions to share? Please tell us! And have a fashionable new year!

In 2009, MSCI (NYSE:MSCI), the benchmark index provider for investors in emerging markets, reclassified Argentina from emerging market to frontier market. This demotion of sorts culminates the long history of pragmatism-lite policies of numerous Argentine governments.
The latest governmental action to seize control of YPF (NYSE:YPF) from Spain's Repsol (PINK:REPYY) is only a continuation of the demonstrated hostility toward foreign investors that will further isolate the country in the investment community, hurting FDI and economic growth for years to come.
"Oil reserves have dropped 30% in the past years and the demand keeps growing. If I were an oil company and I had wells here and in other countries, I'd go to the other countries," former Argentine energy secretary Emilio Apud said in 2010.
Problems with Argentine oil production have been known for a decade as high taxes and royalties have discouraged investment in new exploration and production despite the established potential of Argentine energy deposits. The economy has seen rapid GDP growth at an average of 7.3% a year since 2003, creating a surge in demand, while oil production has gradually eroded after peaking in 1998.
Clearly, the 35% tax on profits and a 12% royalty on the value of oil production have been the main culprits, as well as the occasional price controls on fuel prices. Energy multinationals with Argentine operations have been following Emilio Apud's advice for years, developing their reserves in more friendly jurisdictions.
However, Argentine hostility toward foreign investors goes further than YPF, as FDI data shows. In the first half of 2011, foreign direct investment in Argentina dropped 30% from a year earlier — the biggest decline among the region's major economies — while the whole of Latin America and the Caribbean received a 54% boost in FDI, according to the relevant U.N. regional commission. In the period, Argentina received $2.4 billion in foreign investment, compared with Brazil's $44.1 billion, Mexico's $10.6 billion and Colombia's $7 billion.
I suspect that after the nationalization of the controlling stake of YPF, next year the above FDI dichotomy will likely repeat. Inept economic policies have been repeating over and over for 100 years, and one would think that after such diligent persistence, a lesson had been learned.
The above is likely to suppress valuations for the country's whole equity market, even if no further nationalizations come, much in the same way valuation for the Russian market remained depressed after the infamous Yukos affair (Russia's largest energy company Gazprom (PINK:OGZPY) trades with a forward P/E of 2.55 and a price-to-book valuation of 0.55). In the case of Russia, valuations also are depressed because of the extreme leverage to the price of oil and exposure to Europe, while Argentina has a more balanced economy.
Argentine governmental actions begin to resemble those of Hugo Chavez of Venezuela — another Latin American country with huge potential that is badly lagging in economic progress because of failed socialist policies. Argentina will compensate Repsol somewhat, but this likely will not be based on the going market rates for oil companies with similar reserve profiles.
While respect for property rights is key to the success of any emerging market, Repsol should take some blame for failing to find an angle with the famously strong-armed Kirchner administration. It looks bad to pay generous "90% of net income" dividends to owners while oil production is falling; YPF shows a five-year average dividend yield of 8%, which is extreme for any major energy company that is actively investing in growing production and reserves — precisely Kirchner's argument that Repsol was milking YPF and not serving the needs of the country.
It is unfortunate for YPF that other Argentine oil companies have managed to grow reserves and invest in the same (hostile) environment. British Petroleum (NYSE:BP) controls Pan American Energy LLC in Argentina. Between 2001 and 2010, Pan American increased its oil and gas production in Argentina by 70% from 142,000 to 241,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. This allowed it to double its market share, taking it from 9% to 18% of total hydrocarbon production (natural gas and oil) in the country. Pan American also invested in exploration as it maintained an organic reserve replacement rate of 143% without purchasing assets.
The YPF seizure is unlikely to derail the Argentine economy geared toward the boom in agricultural and hard commodities, but the totality of misguided policies of the Kirchner administration certainly has the potential to do so as many Argentine governments have done over the years. YPF's seizure did derail one thing, though: investor interest in Argentine stocks.

Performances of the Year: Harriet Anderson
Harriet Anderson raised the bar once again with an incredible finish in Kona.
On a record-setting day at the IRONMAN World Championship last October, Harriet Anderson's incredible finish might have been the day's best performance. In 2012 Anderson became the oldest woman to finish in Kona, a record previously held by Sister Madonna Buder. This year the 78-year-old added another year to the record. What's even more impressive is the fact that Anderson did all that despite a crash on the bike that saw her fly over the guard rail on the Queen K.
It's not the first time Anderson has made it to the line at the IRONMAN World Championship despite crashing on her bike. In 2009 Anderson got cut off by another rider and went down, breaking her collarbone. She still managed to finish the ride, then went out and completed the marathon with her arm in a sling. While there were no broken bones from the crash this year, she did have a few bruises as she climbed back on her bike and rode to T2.
Nothing seems to stop Harriet Anderson when it comes to Kona excellence, though. Even with coming off her bike, she still managed to get across the line in 16:56:51, three minutes quicker than she did the year before. (Yes, it was close in 2102—she made the 17-hour cut off by 19 seconds.)
Anderson seems to be a perennial fixture in our end of year awards—since she's about the most modest athlete you'll ever meet, it's great that we can make some noise about her achievements for her.
Harriet Anderson Quick Facts:
-Oldest woman to finish the IRONMAN World Championship.
-21-time Kona finisher – she's finished on the podium every time. She did her first IRONMAN World Championship in 1989.
-Lives in San Carlos, Ca.
-Retired school nurse. Has two children and four grandchildren.

Politics & Government
Congress gets to work on landmark carbon plan
WASHINGTON — As Congress began work Tuesday on groundbreaking climate legislation, Washington lawmakers were unusually optimistic on Earth Day 2009 about getting at least some climate-change legislation passed this year.
Lawmakers were talking Tuesday about finding common ground on energy efficiency measures. The tougher part will be putting mandatory curbs on the emissions from burning fossil fuels that scientists say are making the Earth's temperature rise.
The big question — and a key part of the debate that continues in hearings all week — will be whether payoffs in new jobs, expanded renewable energy and energy savings, along with a system to return money to taxpayers, can make up for most of the higher costs of fossil fuels.
The draft bill would set up a system to put a cap on emissions that declines each year. The government would sell or give permits to business for emissions, and companies could buy more permits from one another as needed.
Many key parts of the bill remain to be worked out, including what the government would do with billions of dollars from permit sales. Some Democrats want most of the money returned to taxpayers.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said she expected a climate bill to pass this year.
"The timing of this challenge has been governed by our environmental concerns and by our national security concerns, but it's also governed by economic necessity," she said. "Our recovery and future prosperity hinge on whether the United States will be first in the world with a with a clean energy economy."
Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., the chairman of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee, said that it was still early in the process, but "I think Congress wants to seriously and thoroughly address climate change."
Some Republicans were cautious, however, and others opposed sweeping changes.
"You crawl, then you walk and then you run," said Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, who was a critic of past major climate-change measures but is working this year to find a compromise.
Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, the chairman of the Republican Conference in the House of Representatives, called the proposal "a declaration of economic war on the Midwest by the economic liberals on Capitol Hill."
"We're all for clean air, clean water and clean energy," said Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., "but we are not for taxing people out of their house and home to pay for some of these programs they want to bring forward."
Opponents of the plan mainly warn about its costs. Until Congress fills in the blanks in the bill about keeping costs down, they're impossible to predict.
The Environmental Protection Agency, however, reported this week that if most of the revenues are returned to Americans, household consumption would continue to grow and people at the middle- and lower-income levels would be better off than without the system to cap emissions.
The EPA said that the bill also would reduce reliance on oil, stimulate investment in technology to capture and store emissions from coal, boost renewable energy and create demand for new products that U.S. factories could fill.
Democrats said they'd start in listening mode. Sixty witnesses are lined up for hours of House Energy and Commerce Committee hearings this week.
Democrats should have an easier time winning House approval of their big plan, since they have a 77-seat majority there and debate is easier to cut off. The Senate, though, requires 60 votes to cut off debate, and Democrats control 58 seats, making bipartisan cooperation a must.
Democrats also are seeking consensus because of the nature of the problem. Long-term public support would be needed because cuts would need to get tougher each year for decades.
President Barack Obama has made climate legislation a priority, and the EPA took the first step last week to regulate greenhouse gases, a signal to lawmakers that change is coming even if they don't take action.
"It certainly increases the pressure," said Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind.
Consensus will be difficult, but there appeared to be a few areas in which lawmakers might be moving toward agreement:
"There is room for compromise," said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, one of the Republican moderates who are considered crucial to an agreement, "but there is widespread concern about whether struggling middle- and low-income families will be hurt any further."
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported Tuesday that heat-trapping gases increased last year despite the economic downturn. NOAA scientists measure greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from 60 monitoring sites around the world.
"Only by reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and increasing energy production from renewable resources will we start to see improvements and begin to lessen the effects of climate change," scientist Pieter Tans of NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colo., said in a statement.

Logistician in training
The logistics profession has different aspects: incoming goods, out-going goods, order picking, packing and checking. Everything is a part of it, which makes the work very diversified. At the moment I work as a controller. That refers to the outgoing goods.
After the ordered goods have been collected according to the bill of lading, I check everything once again for completeness and accuracy. Only then do I release the goods for packaging. As a controller I assume responsibility for seeing that the correct goods reach the customers in the correct quantity. And I see the whole SCHURTER world, all of the continents and places around the globe where our customers are located – at least on paper.
I find the activity as an order picker particularly exciting and interesting. One doesn't remain the whole day at the same place there, but is constantly on the move. Also with the forklift. I had to complete an extra, intercompany course (IC) for that, where I learned everything needed to use, operate and maintain the forklift.
As an apprentice, I appreciate the support and targeted mentoring I have received at SCHURTER from the supervisors and staff. When I don't know something, the colleagues do not become grumpy but help me instead. The team attitude is super; I feel I am in good hands. Even with the school issues. If necessary, my training instructor will gladly take the time to help me prepare for the tests or to discuss something. What I also like are the special company events for all of the apprentices. That may be visits to companies or once in a while a pleasant evening at the grill.
I am still really enjoying the training at SCHURTER. Being a logistician is my profession, in the future as well. Therefore I can imagine – after successfully completing the training and then the military service – completing advanced training to become a logistics expert. Will have to see what happens; there is still time.
There are different reasons to start an education at SCHURTER. We would like to inspire you for this path.

Wounded Warriors Return to Iraq
American Forces Press Service
JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq, June 29, 2009 - Six wounded soldiers, all amputees, returned here last week hoping to close the door on the combat that changed them forever.
The last time Sgt. Christopher A. Burrell was in Iraq, he was pulled from a burning vehicle in Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood. A tourniquet applied by another soldier saved his life, but a nurse here at the Air Force Theater Hospital had to break the tragic news?his left leg was gone, taken by an explosively formed projectile.
Now, almost a year and a half later, and after months of rehabilitation and physical therapy at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., Burrell returned to Iraq with five other amputee combat veterans as part of Operation Proper Exit.
"I don't remember much, but I remember my nurse," Burrell said. "Shelly. She was an angel, there to comfort me when I was in a difficult spot."
Operation Proper Exit, a United Service Organizations pilot program sponsored by the Army and the Troops First Foundation, allows soldiers wounded in combat to return to Iraq. The goal of the program is to give the soldiers an opportunity for closure, and to see the progress made in securing and stabilizing the country, Burrell said.
"It kind of helps you heal mentally and emotionally, to close that chapter in your life so you can move on," he said. "The progress that's been made?it shows that we made a sacrifice but it was for a reason."
The six veterans, who were accompanied by civilians with the Troops First Foundation, toured the Air Force theater hospital here, speaking with medical personnel. Most of the soldiers received some kind of treatment at the hospital before they moved to Germany for further medical care.
Air Force Staff Sgt. Jamal Hogan, a nurse here, said he remembers providing medical care for two of the soldiers during a previous deployment in 2007.
"It's awesome," he said, hugging one of his former patients, "to know that people made it?he's alive, walking around. That means a lot to me."
Following the hospital tour, the veterans participated in a town hall-style meeting, which began with a standing ovation by about 200 soldiers at a Morale, Welfare, and Recreation facility here.
After telling the audience their personal war stories, the veterans fielded questions ranging from how they dealt with physical recovery to post traumatic stress disorder to their long-term goals.
Sgt. Robert Brown, who lost his right leg to sniper fire in September 2006 in Ramadi, Iraq, said he is training to qualify for the U.S. rowing team at the 2012 Paralympic games in London.
Near the end of the meeting, a young soldier stood up and asked them, with everything they've experienced, if they would be willing to return for another tour in Afghanistan or Iraq.
All six nodded.
"Sure, we'd go back," one said. "We're here with you right now, aren't we?"

Search for Agencies
To find agencies that interest you, follow those steps:
1. Click on the option 'COMPANIES from the horizontal orange menu. In the yellow rectangle under the menu you will see fields where you can specify your demand criteria.
2. Searches can be by text or normal.
2.1. If you prefer the first option, click on "Text Search"; then, in the text box describe the type of agency you are interested in. For example, if you want to get information for agencies involved in dealing real estate in Germany, it is enough to write something like: "Real estate in Germany."
2.2. If you prefer a normal search, there are four criteria at your disposal:
• If you are looking for certain types of companies, select those from the "Company type"drop-down list.
• If you want to filter only agencies having offices in certain countries, choose the corresponding countries from the drop-down list called: "The agency has offices in". From the list that appears, choose the relevant locations. There is no limit to the number of states that can be selected. For example, if you want to see real estate agencies, that have offices in Bulgaria and Russia, feel free to check both.
• Click on the bottom left under the caption "Offers real estate in" and you can choose from a list the countries in which the agency offers property. If you are only interested in agencies offering properties in Bulgaria, select the name of the country by clicking on it.
• The last field "Offers services" displays a list of services that the agency you are looking for must offer. Select the desired services. If you want to select all of them, it is not necessary to select each individually - just click on the gray rectangle at the top (over the first option), which is the title of the group. To deselect all again just do the reverse. The same method you can use if you want to select / exclude all possibilities of the above-mentioned three lists.
Click on 'Search' button and voila - you have a list of all agencies, meeting your requirements.

You should test data cabling each time you install, move, or troubleshoot a LAN-attached workstation.
Testing is a critical part of datacom installations. However, this testing is much different than the electrical power tests you're used to performing. Datacom work requires you not only to test each individual cable, but also to document the results and furnish copies of this documentation to the customer. Testing datacom cabling takes a lot more time than testing power wiring.
Testing during the installation process helps catch problems before they escalate. Even if the cable and connectors you install meet a certain category specification, you must test them. If you don't install them properly, the overall system performance can be substantially below the minimum requirements of that category definition.
To make matters worse, the effects of poor installation work may not be immediately evident if the first user is only operating at a relatively low speed, such as 10 Mbps. Many problems will only become apparent when the user tries to switch up to 100 Mbps or higher, which is the worst time for such a problem to emerge. Even when you use high-quality cable and connectors, up to 20% of all installed cable runs can deliver subcategory performance if you're not using the proper techniques.
Testing detects interactions between cable and connectors, which are not detectable independently. Some brands of cable and connectors can perform poorly when installed together in short runs (under 60 ft). Field-testing is the only way to find marginal incompatibilities.
Where do you start? As a cable installer, you should assure the quality of your materials and work by certifying all installed cable runs at the end of each job using equipment designed for testing these data links. Digital multimeters alone are inadequate for this task. While a good multimeter can confirm the signal is getting from one end of the cable to another, it can't tell you anything about the quality of the signal.
Understanding decibels. In data cabling, we express most energy and power levels, losses, or attenuation, in decibels rather than in watts. The reason is simple: Transmission calculations and measurements are almost always made as comparisons against a reference (received power compared to emitted power, energy in versus energy out, etc). Generally, we express energy levels (emission, reception, etc.) in dBm. This signifies the reference level of 0 dBm corresponds to 1 mW of power. We express power losses or gains (attenuation in a cable, loss in a connector, etc.) in dB. The unit dBu is used when measuring very low levels.
So what does the decibel measurement tell us? A 3-dB gain in power means the optical power doubled. A 6-dB gain means the power doubled, and then doubled again (four times the original power). A 3-dB loss of power means the power has been cut in half. A 6-dB loss means the power has been cut in half, then cut in half again (1/4 of the original power).
A loss of 3 dB in power is equivalent to a 50% loss. For example, 1mW of power in, and .5mW of power out. A 6-dB loss equals a 75% loss (1mW in, .25mW out).
Copper cable test equipment. The most common testing tools for copper data cabling are:
• Digital voltmeter (DVM), which measures volts.
• Digital multimeter (DMM), which measures volts, ohms, and capacitance. Some models even measure frequency.
• Time domain reflectometer (TDR), which measures cable lengths, locates impedance mismatches, and pinpoints fault locations.
• Tone generator and inductive amplifier, which traces cable pairs in walls or ceilings. The tone generator typically puts a 2 kHz audio tone on the cable under test, and the inductive amp detects and plays this through a built-in speaker.
• Wiremap tester, which checks a cable for open or short circuits, reversed pairs, crossed pairs, and split pairs.
• Noise tester (10Base-T), which measures noise levels in several frequency ranges. Various handheld cable testers can perform these tests.
Testing UTP cables. Many of the problems encountered in UTP cable plants are a result of mis-wired patch cables, jacks, and cross-connects.
Horizontal and riser distribution cables and patch cables are wired straight through (end-to-end), so pin 1 at one end connects to pin 1 at the other. Note: Crossover patch cables are an exception to this rule. Normally, jacks and cross-connects are designed so you always punch down the cable pairs in a standard order from left to right (i.e. pair 1, blue, pair 2, orange, pair 3, green, and pair 4, brown). You usually punch down the white-striped lead first, then the solid color. The jack's internal wiring connects each pair to the correct pins, according to the relative assignment scheme (i.e. EIA-568A, 568B, USOC).
One common source of problems is an installation in which USOC jacks mix with EIA-568A or 568B. When you see an installation like this, the punch downs appear to be correct, but some cables will work and others will not.
Wiremap tests will check all lines in the cable for the following errors:
• Open: Lack of continuity between pins at both ends of the cable.
• Short: Two or more lines short-circuited together.
• Crossed pair: A pair connects to different pins at each end (i.e. pair 1 connects to pins 4 and 5 at one end and pins 1 and 2 at the other).
• Reversed pair: Two lines in a pair connect to opposite pins at each end of the cable. For example, the line on pin 1 connects to pin 2 at the other end; the line on pin 2 connects to line 1. We also call this a polarity reversal or tip-and-ring reversal.
• Split pair: One line from each of two pairs connects as if it were a pair. For example, the blue and white-orange lines connect to pins 4 and 5, white-blue and orange to pins 3 and 6. The result is excessive near end crosstalk (NEXT), which wastes 10Base-T bandwidth and usually prevents 16 Mb/s token-ring from working at all.
Typically, you check cable length by using a TDR, which transmits a pulse down the cable and measures the elapsed time; until it receives a reflection of the signal from the far end of the cable. Each type of cable transmits signals at something less than the speed of light. This factor is the nominal velocity of propagation (NVP), expressed as a decimal fraction of the speed of light. (UTP has an NVP of approximately 0.59 to 0.65). From the elapsed time and the NVP, the TDR calculates the cable's length. A TDR may be a stand-alone piece of equipment or built into a handheld cable tester.
The 10Base-T standard defines limits for the voltage and number of occurrences per minute of impulse noise acceptable over several frequency ranges. Many of the handheld cable testers include the capability to test for this.
To understand NEXT, imagine yourself speaking into a telephone. You can hear the person on the other end and also hear yourself through the handset. Imagine how it would sound if your voice was amplified louder than the other person's voice. Each time you spoke you could barely hear any sound coming from the other end, due to the contrasting levels of volume. A cable with inadequate immunity to NEXT couples so much of the signal being transmitted back onto the receiving pair (or pairs) that incoming signals are unintelligible.
Using poor practices when installing cable and connecting hardware can significantly reduce your NEXT performance.
A signal traveling on a cable becomes weaker the farther it travels. Each interconnection also reduces its strength. At some point, the signal becomes too weak for the network hardware to interpret reliably. Particularly at higher frequencies (10MHz and up), UTP cable attenuates signals much sooner than does coaxial or shielded twisted-pair cable. Knowing the attenuation (and NEXT) of a link helps you determine whether it will function for a particular access method, and how much margin is available to accommodate increased losses.
Testing optical cable. After you install and terminate all fiber optic cable, you must test the whole system. We test to make sure light passes through the system with minimal signal loss. The three main types of optical testing in the field today are: Continuity testing. This is a simple visible light test. You perform this test with a simple device (basically a modified flashlight) and the naked eye, to make sure the fibers in your cables are continuous.
Power testing. You perform this test to accurately measure the quality of your optical fiber links. A calibrated light source puts infrared light into one end of the fiber, and a calibrated meter measures the light arriving at the other end. We measure this loss of light in the fiber in decibels. Most data links can handle a loss of 12 dB to 16 dB.
OTDR testing. An optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) uses a light backscattering technique to analyze fibers. In essence, the OTDR takes a snapshot of the fiber's optical characteristics. It does this by sending a high-powered pulse into one end of the fiber and measuring the light scattered back toward the instrument. You use the OTDR to pinpoint breaks in the cable, splices, and connectors, as well as to measure light loss in the system.
In part 2 of this series, we introduced attenuation as it relates to copper voice/data cables. Attenuation in an optical fiber is a result of two factors: absorption and scattering.
The absorption of light and conversion to heat by molecules in the glass give us the term absorption. Primary absorbers are residual deposits of chemicals used in the manufacturing process to modify the characteristics of the glass. This absorption occurs at defined wavelengths (the wavelength of light signifies its color and place in the electromagnetic spectrum). This absorption is determined by the elements in the glass at wavelengths around 1000 nm (nanometers), 1400 nm, and above 1600 nm.
The largest cause of attenuation is scattering. This occurs when light collides with individual atoms in the glass. The light deflects and hits the core/cladding boundary at a high angle. It passes through the boundary, is lost, and enters the core of the fiber no more.
Chromatic dispersion and modal dispersion refer to the spreading of light pulses, until they overlap one another, and the data signal is distorted and lost. Chromatic refers to color, and modal primarily refers to the light's path. Thus, chromatic dispersion is signal distortion due to small color differences in the various rays of light, and modal dispersion is signal distortion due to the paths the various rays of light take as they pass through the fiber.
Don't set yourself up for these post-installation problems. Testing the system during installation and upon completion is simply good practice.

Jennifer Lopez Wants Scooter Braun to Be On the 'American Idol' Panel
The peeps at 'American Idol' -- really Jennifer Lopez, who is said to be returning after a season off, and the producers — are rallying to get Scooter Braun on the restructured judging panel.
Braun has his incredibly hands full managing Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and the Wanted, among others, so it's likely he doesn't have time to commit to the daily grind of 'Idol,' even if it would increase his and his artists' exposure.
The reason that 'Idol' wants Braun is because research indicated that the viewers don't care about the judges. They care about the contestants and hopefuls.
A source told TMZ that the powers-that-be think the show got off track when it became so judge-centric -- last year's ratings fell and people lost interest in the diva battle between Minaj and Carey. They want to get back to birthing music icons. While Scotty McCreery (Season 10) and Phillip Phillips (Season 11) are legit post-'Idol' stars, Season 12 winner Candice Glover has been flying really below the radar, headed for Flopville.
Speaking of below the radar, that's exactly why insiders say that Braun doesn't want the gig. He likes a degree of anonymity. While most Beliebers know who he is, that's part of their gig! It is said that Braun might have interest if he could gain managerial control over contestants he wants, regardless of whether they win or not.
And the 'Idol' saga continues...

Four Tips for Navigating the Windows 8 Start Screen and Desktop Interfaces
If you've ever used Windows (like, oh, a billion other people on the planet), you'll be confused by Windows 8's Jekyll and Hyde interface. On the one hand, Dr. Jekyll's old-fashioned desktop looks and acts like all the other Windows desktops you've ever seen. On the other hand, Mr. Hyde's Start screen goes great with fingers but looks a lot like a telephone screen. Intentionally.
When you start Windows 8, you end up staring at the Start screen, which looks completely different from any kind of Windows that's come before.
Getting around is harder than it should be, but you can solve almost all of your navigational problems by remembering four little points:
With a few exceptions, the desktop and the Start screen are completely separate. They work differently and act differently.
If you're inside a Windows 8 app (you can tell because it takes up the whole screen), or on the old-fashioned desktop, you can get to the Start screen by pressing the Windows button on your tablet or the Windows key on your keyboard.
If you're on the Start screen, you can get to the desktop by tapping or clicking the Desktop tile.
There's a handful of moderately useful shortcuts on the right side of the screen (both the Start screen and the desktop) called the Charms bar — who knows why. To bring up the Charms bar with your fingers, swipe from the right. To bring up the Charms bar with your keyboard, hold down the Windows key and press C.
If you can't find a program but know that it's there, go to the Start screen and just type the name of the program. Windows brings up a list of programs that match what you type.

As we come to the end of the calendar year, it is time once again to think about the past 12 months. Many authors have reflected and written about "The Year of," and the Newport Beach Public Library has many titles that ruminate on special aspects of authors' lives during a passing year.
Joan Didion's "The Year of Magical Thinking" is not just an autobiography detailing her grief after the death of her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and the sudden, serious illness of their only daughter. It's also a memoir of their life together and a meditation on themes of loss and bereavement. Didion is one of America's finest novelists, essayists and observers, and this small book is a personal testament to her year of mourning. Winner of the National Book Award for nonfiction, this volume will move you with its candid narrative and cogent observations.
"The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible," by A.J. Jacobs, details the author's one-year attempt to follow the Bible's approximately 700 rules for righteous behavior. As well as keeping to the Bible's moral laws at home, the author went on the road, taking himself to Israel, to visit the Amish in Pennsylvania and the biblical creationists in Kentucky. He asked himself what would be required to live the commandments for one year, and the result is this hilarious, unusual and thought-provoking book.
Months of misadventures, heartaches and confusion enliven Maria Dahvana Headley's "The Year of Yes." Deciding it was time to get out of her dating rut, the author decided to say yes to anyone who asked her out (excluding drunks and those she deemed dangerous). As a transplanted New Yorker, she had plenty to choose from and started with her building's maintenance man, then continued through the year with a variety of unlikely dates. Just when she was about to end her experiment, she found herself smitten with her date.
"The Year of the Boat: Beauty, Imperfection, and the Art of Doing It Yourself," by Lawrence W. Cheek, is a memoir of one man's desire to build a wooden sailboat despite his lack of woodworking skills and sailing experience. The book journals his year of learning to read blueprints, cutting, sanding and basically learning by doing while becoming frustrated, satisfied and bewildered at various times. Naming his boat Far from Perfect, it becomes an antidote for his chronic perfectionism.
Considered a travel classic, British author Peter Mayle's "A Year in Provence" describes the year he and his wife spent restoring an 18th-century farmhouse in the remote region of Luberon. From January's first mistral, which created havoc with the pipes, to myriad meals, hunting for mushrooms and even donating blood, Mayle provides us with a humorous and entertaining look at the Provencal way of life.
Other "Year of" books abound ("My Year of Flops," "The Year of Eating Dangerously," "A Year of Sundays") — all will provide hours of entertainment. Grab a book and contemplate your "Year of" for 2013.

Release Date: 2013 |
Album Rating: 4.0Because I've been wanting to review something involving Reznor for the longest time.
Because I've been wanting to have sex with something involving Reznor for the longest time.
But seriously cool review.
Album Rating: 4.0Because I've been wanting to have sex with something involving Maandig for the longest time.
Seriously though, thanks man.
Album Rating: 4.0Such a good freaking album.
Digging: Uyama Hiroto - A Son of the Sun
This is my favorite thing Reznor has done in a long, long time. I liked the soundtrack work, but it wasn't much for repeat listening to me. "Ghosts" was amazing, but obviously overdrawn and more of, like you said, experimentation and didn't sound 'complete'. This just clicks on all cylinders. Not sure if I think it's classic yet, but it's definitely between a 4 and 4.5 for me. Good review. Thanks for taking the time to do it.
Their debut was good, but a lot of the newer tracks on An Omen were really disappointing to me; I'm not sure if this will do the same or not but I hope they don't all go the way of "Ice Age."
Album Rating: 4.0Good review. I just downloaded this on my MOG app (loving it so far), will give it a go when I have the time.
Album Rating: 4.0good review breakingthefragile
Album Rating: 4.0Thanks all.
Puts Renzor on the front page. - AlexB
is this dark and grimy like the space in between
cos I loved that song but haven't heard anything else by them
Digging: Knocked Loose - A Different Shade of Blue
Album Rating: 3.0another great review Alex. still need to check this out.
where's my damn feature?? grrrrrr
kiddin', excellent review sir. looking forward to this now
very good review, alex.
Album Rating: 4.0Thanks you to whoever featured this and thanks for the compliments guys.
Very good review dude. Album is very cool.
Album Rating: 4.0Album is starting to grow on me, though I find it difficult to assign a rating to music like this - it's so industrial and lifeless that it's difficult to tell what's right or wrong.
But Fur Lined was a great song, man, how can you say it was "awkward?"
Album Rating: 4.0I just think the lyrics are awkward and the flow is a little annoying. The whole rock-ish sound of the
track really doesn't work in my opinion.
Album Rating: 4.0Hope this is as good as you say. The album cover is pretty cool, though.
