VERVE Tactical Vest Plate Carrier - Green
**Now includes Australian flag 🇦🇺 Velcro patch** The VERVE Tactical Vest Plate Holder is made from a military grade high-strength 500D nylon unlike low cost plate holders made using the less durable polyester. This tactical vest features a quick release system and woven velco chest and back hooks for attachment of any universal accessories (water bladder or pocket).
- Front and back plate holders
- Quick release system for safety
- Velco chest for badges
- Woven loops for accessory attachment
- Sled pull straps
- Elastic side straps
Plate holders within the front and the back of the vest allow the user to customise the weight of the best using VERVE 8lb plates and 5lb plates. NOTE: this is not the exact same design as the vests previously used at The CrossFit Games but has very similar functionality. A 20lb vest is made by adding 2 x 8lb plates and a 14lb vest is made with 2 x 5lb plates.
Please note that the weight plates are not included with the vest and you can order them separately from the links at the bottom of this page.

Hello Friends, today I thought well have a little bit of fun and do some throwback home decor. Do you remember where you were in the 70's? I know I was just making my day-view into this world and perhaps some of you weren't even born yet. I must tell you: "I didn't think this day would sneak up on me so fast, you know; when I'd be looking back at the time I was born as such a throwback moment in time, era sort of speak but forcefully I have to admit I'm there". I have got to tell you I don't quite remember these designs as much as I remember the 80's décor and that was no picnic either. I went on a quest to find some interiors from the 70's and older designs and I was pleasantly surprised and taken back at what I found. I thought completely old. I'll find lots of disco balls with people sitting in the living rooms with big bush hair, bell bottom pants and old checker sofas with the plastic left on them for protection now I'm not going to say it was all good but like I said I was pleasantly surprised. Check out the interiors of yesterday, throwback style.
So we went back waaaaaay back. I thought it was fun to see how they did then. what did you think?
|I would ware this today!
|I would use this in someone's house today including my own if I had a place for it.
|Bold designers even back then
|Now I can tell this was a daring interior designer and a homeowner who weren't afraid of taking it there.
|This designer showed us how to mix pattern and make it still look good.
|Nautical design was first introduced back then
|I love the yellow chair, yellow ladder and the cool shelf
|Love the swinging bed- A bed like this can be found in today's designs.
|Now this is different,Plastic pillows
|Some of today interiors that mimics yesterday designs.
So we went back waaaaaay back. I thought it was fun to see how they did then. what did you think?

2 winners were selected from 33 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
The Green Power Baby Shower Expo is an event that will be held in May. Similar to bridal/wedding shows, it will feature vendors selling Green/eco-friendly products to moms-to-be and new moms.
Green Power Baby Shower Expo
Desired Style:
Chic and Contemporary
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)

The web site will include these elements (although they may be combined under broader categories):
- ·Feedback form
- ·Contacts Page
- ·Guest Book
- ·Newsletter Sign Up

- ·Address/Map/Directions
- ·Quotes/Testimonials
- ·Luncheon Program Page

NEW YORK (AP) — The arrest of a New Jersey man accused Friday of seeking to pay $5,000 to a New York City police officer to kidnap a Manhattan woman that he intended to rape and kill drew claims from a defense lawyer that the government was trying to prevent him from testifying about Internet sexual fantasies at the officer's cannibalism-tinged trial.
The attorney, Julia Gatto, spoke after Trenton resident Michael Vanhise, 22, appeared briefly in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, where he was ordered held pending a bail hearing Monday on a conspiracy to commit kidnapping charge.
"Mr. Vanhise is being used as a pawn by the government to bolster a very weak case," Gatto said outside court. She represents Gilberto Valle, 28, of Queens, who is scheduled to go to trial later this month after he was charged in October with one count of kidnapping conspiracy and one count of accessing a computer without authorization.
She said Vanhise "would have exonerated our client" with testimony about his own participation in a world of Internet sexual fantasies where people could speak of unspeakable acts they would never commit. She said the arrest Friday appeared to be a tactical move by authorities to prevent testimony by Vanhise or others about Internet fantasies.
"He definitely could have been a defense witness, yes. We believe he would certainly support the defense," Gatto said.
The lawyer said the government appeared to be pressuring potential defense witnesses not to take the witness stand by saying in court documents filed against Vanhise that there were other co-conspirators who had not been charged in the case.
Authorities said Vanhise agreed to pay Valle $5,000 to kidnap the woman in New York and deliver her bound to Vanhise's home in New Jersey, where she would be raped and killed. They said Vanhise also participated in planning the kidnapping of a girl.
Vanhise's lawyer, Alice Fontier, said her client, an auto mechanic who seemed to wipe tears from his eyes during his court hearing, was "very upset," especially because he wanted to be home after his wife gave birth to a daughter last month, one of several young children the couple has.
She said he had been in contact with the FBI since late October and there had "certainly been ongoing meetings."
"He has not stopped cooperating," she said, though she added: "Obviously, the relationship has changed since he was arrested."
Besides being accused of agreeing to pay Valle for the abduction last year when Valle was an active police officer, Vanhise also admitted emailing others about kidnapping, raping and killing women and children, the FBI said in court papers.
Valle was charged last year with using a law-enforcement database as he allegedly made plans to kidnap, rape, kill and eat women. Gatto said at that time that he was engaging in sexual fantasies and intended no violence.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said Vanhise engaged in conduct "that reads like a script for a bad horror film."
He said the arrest was the second "in this bone-chilling case, but we are not finished."
George Venizelos, head of the New York FBI office, said the charges "convey the depravity of the offense."
According to court papers, Vanhise and Valle negotiated last February to carry out the kidnapping of the Manhattan woman, saying in email conversations that she would be knocked unconscious before her hands and feet were bound and she was gagged. The men conspired to stuff her into a large suitcase and deliver her to Vanhise's home, where Valle insisted she would still be alive so that Vanhise could rape her, authorities said.
The court papers said Vanhise also emailed photographs of a girl whom Vanhise knew well. They said this occurred after other unidentified co-conspirators expressed interest in kidnapping the child.
If convicted, Vanhise could face life in prison.

William Dean Howells eBooks
William Dean Howells (March 1, 1837 – May 11, 1920) was an American realist author and literary critic. Nicknamed "The Dean of American Letters", he was particularly known for his tenure as editor of the Atlantic Monthly as well as his own writings, including the Christmas story "Christmas Every Day" and the novel "The Rise of Silas Lapham."
Howells defined realism as "nothing more and nothing less than the truthful treatment of material." In defense of the real, as opposed to the ideal, he wrote, "I hope the time is coming when not only the artist, but the common, average man, who always 'has the standard of the arts in his power,' will have also the courage to apply it, and will reject the ideal grasshopper wherever he finds it, in science, in literature, in art, because it is not 'simple, natural, and honest,' because it is not like a real grasshopper. But I will own that I think the time is yet far off, and that the people who have been brought up on the ideal grasshopper, the heroic grasshopper, the impassioned grasshopper, the self-devoted, adventureful, good old romantic card-board grasshopper, must die out before the simple, honest, and natural grasshopper can have a fair field."

this Valentines, Jason and I celebrated at one of my favorite places, Blossoming Lotus. they had a special Valentines menu, with two options for each course. as we normally do, we each chose one and shared.
we had a cheers with cocktails. mine:
White October – vanilla infused vodka, Averna, Cafe Lolita, coconut milk, ginger sugar, maple syrup – served up
this was amazing. mildly sweet, strong coffee and maple flavors. deliciously warming.
I had two.
Wintry Mix Manhattan – Bulleit rye, cinnamon-ginger infused Vya vermouth, orange bitters, barrel-aged bitters
Jason loved his Manhattan – enough that he talked about recreating his own version at home. sounds like someone I know…
the amuse:
Seasonal marinated and pickled vegetables
we each had our favorites with this plate – I loved the cauliflower, radish and the chili seasoned carrots! Jason liked the green beans and the beets.
the salad course:
wild arugula salad with preserved Meyer lemon and za'atar vinaigrette, roasted red and gold beets, pear
the arugula was deliciously nutty and spicy, and the pear was an inventive addition. we both loved this.
winter citrus salad with shaved fennel and basil, pomegranate, white balsamic
you know I love my vibrant colors in food – visually, this was my favorite of the evening. the bright flavors and the basil earned a place as my favorites in taste as well.
marinated king trumpet mushroom nigiri with parsnip rice, collard green maki roll with cucumber and avocado, salad of kale and wakame, burdock-carrot kinpira, pickled ginger
almost every visit to Blossoming Lotus includes me enjoying their collard rolls, or taking an order to go. I was very happy to see they made a roll for one of the choices – Jason and I both loved this course. I could eat these every day.
cornmeal and herb encrusted portobello, garlic chive mashed potatoes, braised chard, red wine demi glace
straight up comfort food.
I'm not even hungry right now and thinking of this plate just made my stomach growl and my mouth water… I could so eat this right now (yeah, it's 4:38 in the morning…)
the portobello was perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. a bite of portobello with a pouf of mashed potato blanketed in chard and dunked into the glorious demi glace…
I think that would satisfy any omnivore. completely.
raw chocolate torte with cashew crust and banana sorbet
this was gorgeously smooth and perfect. the banana sorbet (with shreds of mango!) was a wonderful light pairing to the rich chocolate.
deliriously decadent.
Meyer lemon polenta cake, cara cara orange curd, almond lace cookie
as much as I loved the chocolate, I loved this one just as much if not more. I love a polenta cake that is very mildly sweet, and the orange curd was bright and beautiful,
tart and sweet.
I loved sharing both of these desserts with my Valentine.
…and if that was not enough, there were surprise truffles at the end. three flavors, two of each, one eaten with a perfect cup of coffee, two enjoyed on the way home.
we were both happy with our Valentines choice of Blossoming Lotus. After an uncharacteristic and slightly weird start (the door was locked until seating time, when we were asked to enter single file for our seating assignments), my favorite Portland gem quickly recovered and we were delighted by course after delectable course. We had some great conversation with the very talented and informed mixologist, talking cocktails, coffee and bitters (we will return in the spring for the rhubarb bitters!).

Mary Deal Talks about Creating Your Story Title
Creating Your Story Title
Something writers of multiple stories will experience: Titles may come to you in a flash. Some will take some thinking through.
If you've written your first and only story thus far, you may feel you have a great title for that one piece of prose. However, caution should be taken due to lack of experience in titles. You can only know how easy or how difficult choosing a title will be when you've written a few stories.
For the person who writes many stories or many books, again, choosing a title may come easy, or it may be one of the most difficult aspects of writing.
Your book will first be judged by its title and cover art. Those are the first two criteria that will attract a potential buyer if they know nothing about you or your book or books. The title and cover must entice the viewer to look further and flip to the back cover and read the synopsis.
Here are some tips to help both the beginning writer and the experienced.
~ Your title should covey the overall message of the story.
An example would be if your story is about a crime taking place in an apple orchard. If you title your book "The Apple Orchard," then you might have the front cover showing something happening in an orchard, or something related to the crime. Otherwise, a bland title like "The Apple Orchard" could represent anything from a romance to a UFO abduction under the apple trees. The title and cover of this book must work together.
An example of this type of title is Joseph Wambaugh's "The Onion Field." His cover is a very dark field with telephone poles and gorgeous sky in the distance. If you did not know the crime behind "The Onion Field" you would have no idea what the story might be about. Wambaugh is just lucky enough to be a bestselling author so people know him and what type of stories he writes, but most of us are not yet bestselling authors. We need more to attract readers.
~ Use an important phrase from within your story. It can be from the narrative or the dialogue.
In my latest thriller, Down to the Needle, the character Joe Arno is goading Det. Britto to hurry. Time is running out. An innocent person will go to lethal injection. Arno says, "Do something, Britto. We don't want this case to go down to the needle." This story is about how the case slides mercilessly all the way down to the needle. In my mind, I asked myself: What better title could there be?
Be selective. Choose some of your very best lines of narration or dialogue. Use the very best, or change the wording a bit to fit.
~ An overall theme.
In my award winning thriller, River Bones, I selected from the overall theme. The Sacramento River runs through rural farm and crop lands. Tourists vacation in boats and some stay through the summer. Though illegal, they dump their dinner leftover meat bones and other foodstuffs into the river. It's easy to find bones here and there or washed up near the river banks. It's also easy to find bones when a crime is committed by a person who buries his victims in the soft damp river banks that promotes decay.
I named that novel River Bones for that reason, also because just the mention of bones can send shivers down a person's spine.
In order to decide just the right title for your story, think about what you've written. Think about the best lines you've written. Your title is right there in your prose.

"The strong relationship we have built with Fujitsu over 10 years has given us confidence in it as a reliable partner."
Manager of IT division, EASYCARD Corporation
The EASYCARD Corporation was officially established in March 2000. As the subsidiary of the EASYCARD Investment Holdings Corporation, the total capitalization of the company is NT$700 million, and its main shareholders for the EASYCARD Investment Holdings Corporation are Taipei City Government, Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation, 12 bus companies in Taipei City and New Taipei City, Cathay United Bank, Taishin Bank, CTBC Bank, Taipei Fubon Bank, Mitac Inc., Mercuries Data Systems, China Engineering Consultants Incorporated, Solomon Technology, and other companies. Public-sector stock accounts are about 40% of the total.
The company established a new milestone for electronic transportation payment systems with the use of non-contact IC cards, initially on bus services in Greater Taipei areas, Taipei Metro, and payment of parking fees at parking lots run by Taipei City Government. The scope of application for the EasyCard is currently being extended to the use on Maokong gondola service, admission to Taipei Zoo, non-reserved seats on Taiwan High Speed Rail, designated sections of Taiwan Railway, intercity bus services, Taipei River Cruise, and small-amount purchases at designated stores, to offer greater convenience to users.
In the future, EASYCARD Corporation will continue to integrate more services and extend the use of its EasyCard to other transportation systems, payment of governmental fees, admission to parks and scenic areas, and various other services. Its ultimate goal is to allow people to travel around Taiwan with only one card.
EasyCard decided to transfer its system from UNIX to LINUX to improve its system performance. Fujitsu provided new generation multi-processor PRIMERGY RX4770M1 servers using Intel® Xeon® processor E7 v2 family to improve performance efficiency. EasyCard decided to virtualize the system in order to minimize TCO for the expansion of new business categories. Fujitsu provided PRIMERGY 1U/2U server, RX200S8/RX300S8 using Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family with PCIe 3.0 I/O interface which increased performance and I/O interface speed while establishing a stable operation without the bottleneck.

Prince George is no ordinary 2-year-old boy.
Be that as it may, Prince William and Kate Middleton's firstborn son is still entitled to his privacy. As such, Jason Knauf, communications secretary at Kensington Palace, wrote a letter addressed to the international media Friday hoping to prevent the publication of unauthorized photos of Princess Charlotte's brother.
"In recent months, there have been an increasing number of incidents of paparazzi harassment of Prince George," he said. "And the tactics being used are increasingly dangerous." The "vast majority of publications around the world" have agreed not to publish such photos, for which the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are grateful. "They have enjoyed sharing an increasing number of photos of their children and look forward to continuing to take them to more public events as they get older."
U.S. & World
According to Knauf, the royal couple is "glad that leaders in the media industry share the view that every child, regardless of their future public role, deserves a safe, happy and private childhood. They have been delighted to share official photographs of Prince George and Princess Charlotte in recent months to thank the public for the thousands of kind messages of support they have received."
VIDEO: Flashback! Watch highlights from Prince George's christening
"Despite this, paparazzi photographers are going to increasingly extreme lengths to observe and monitor Prince George's movements and covertly capture images of him to sell to the handful of international media titles still willing to pay for them. One recent incident–just last week–was disturbing, but not at all uncommon. A photographer rented a car and parked in a discreet location outside a children's play area. Already concealed by darkened windows, he took the added step of hanging sheets inside the vehicle and created a hide stocked with food and drinks to get him through a full day of surveillance, waiting in hope to capture images of Prince George. Police discovered him lying down in the boot of the vehicle attempting to shoot photos with a long lens through a small gap in his hide."
PHOTOS: Prince George is Prince William's mini-me
For reasons other than the prince's privacy, Knauf explained that "in a heightened security environment," such paparazzi tactics are a risk to all involved. "The worry is that it will not always be possible to quickly distinguish between someone taking photos and someone intending to do more immediate harm."
According to Knauf, "This incident was not an isolated one."
"It is clear that while paparazzi are always keen to capture images of any senior member of the royal family, Prince George is currently their No. 1 target. We have made the decision to discuss these issues now as the incidents are becoming more frequent and the tactics more alarming," he continued. "A line has been crossed and any further escalation in tactics would represent a very real security risk."
PHOTOS: Kate Middleton's hats and fascinators
The royals will continue to take legal steps should future incidents occur, he said.

New Year's Eve has never been a very big deal to me. In fact, most of the time I've tucked myself into bed well before midnight on the big day and my poor husband has to watch the ball drop all alone. I wonder if he kisses himself too? Hmmm... maybe I should ask. Actually, maybe I won't ask, because usually on New Year's Eve he's rocking it out in a bar with his band, so he better not be doing any kissing!
But this year is very different. I feel so hopeful for 2011 to start. 2010 was a year full of so many transitions. And now in 2011, I feel like we are all ready to start living again. I can't even tell you how much better Miles is doing. Christmas was amazing with him. He only did the Wango Tango for a day, in contrast with the Thanksgiving fallout which lasted an entire week. Kamron has been off this week and Miles has been coming and crawling in bed with us in the mornings and kissing and hugging and just being a kid. Not a kid on hyper alert, or a kid manipulating, but just a kid playing with his mom and dad. I can't tell you how good it feels. I know that right now we are riding the mountain top. I also know that the nature of parenting trauma and attachment disorder means we will be in the valley again. But I am noticing that when we're in the valley, we don't stay there as long as we used to and we don't go as deep into the valley as we used to either. I never thought we'd get here.
As he's let go of some of the hyper awareness, other skills are starting to pop out. Therapists and doctors are continuing to age our little man and he's now suspected to be between 3 and 3 1/2. (a full 2 years older than we thought he was when we brought him home 10 months ago.) But we are finally in a place where we can not only function, but we can THRIVE! So as 2011 approaches, I can't help but be insanely optimistic at all of the promise a new year holds.
I'm also crossing things off of my goal list! We adopted another kid yesterday. Just kidding! But I did organize the cabinets! I threw out two garbage bags worth of expired food out of our cabinets. A tear trickled down my cheek about the wastefullness of it all, but overall it felt good to purge our cabinets of cream of chicken soup that expired 3 years ago and cereal so stale you could load it in a gun and use it as bullets.
I also started the couch to 5k program. Holy moly! It is so fun in a weird way. It has been a long time since I exercised and my body is really screaming at me in agony, but it is fantastic. I gifted myself with a few new songs on the ipod, loaded them into my C25K app and it dings when I'm supposed to run and when I'm supposed to walk. If I can spend $10 on new tunes and the C25K app and it actually makes me want to run, I'm all for it. My feet were hitting the pavement and my arms were playing the air drums as I jammed through the neighborhood. If you ever listen to my playlist on here, you'll see that I tend to gravitate toward the mellow. But when I exercise I need the most obnoxious, raunchy music around to keep me moving. I'm not sure why, but it's how I roll.
The hubs and I are going to Hawaii in March sans kids (go ahead, you can be jealous!) and I'd rather not be a ball of flab while I'm on the beach with my hot husband. So I'm going to keep running. And quit eating crap. I'm on day 4 of not eating crap and already I feel so much better. I've tried just about every diet that there is and can't usually stick to any of them. So this time, I am trying a better approach. I'm just trying to be kinder to myself and my body. I'm trying to honor this one droopy body that I get and treat it as it deserves to be treated. So far, so good. I'm tracking what I eat, but not doing any specific plan. Just being nicer to myself. The stress of the last year and my lack of motivation to make good choices led to a whopping 30 pound weight gain. I'm ready to say goodbye to that.
So to 2010: you've been an adventure. You've been a big ball of stress. You brought with you some joyful times, but many times you cloaked those up with trauma and craziness. I'm not sad to see you go. Your passing marks the beginning of something wonderful. Adios 2010. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodnight. Don't let the door hit ya' where the good lord split ya'.

The role of antarctic marine protists in trophodynamics and global change and the impact of UV-B on these organisms - ASAC_40Entry ID: ASAC_40
Click to see members of this collection.
Abstract: This is a parent metadata record for work carried out as part of ASAC/AAS project 40.
See the child metadata records for further information.
More than 95% of the biomass in the Southern Ocean is microscopic - single celled plants, animals, bacteria and viruses. We are studying the factors that control their distribution and abundance - oceanographic and seasonal conditions, their physiology, ... and grazing - in order to model their vital roles as food for other organisms and their influence in moderating global climate change through absorption of CO2 and production of DMS. We are also addressing the changes expected in microbial communities through effects of climate change - global warming, sea ice retreat, ocean acidification and enhanced ultraviolet radiation.
This project aims to determine the role of microorganisms in the Southern Ocean. The major objectives are to:
* Identify and quantify key protistan components of the Southern Ocean ecosystem and study their autoecology.
* Identify environmental and ecological processes that control abundance of key microbial components.
* Determine interactions between key microbial components to quantify major pathways of carbon flow.
* Determine the activity and viability of bacterioplankton and protists in the Southern Ocean.
* Distinguish different microbial communities by identifying key taxa and associations so that processes such as primary production, respiration, grazing and particle flux can be readily parameterised in ecological models.
* Determine the effect of elevated CO2 concentrations on microbial populations and processes.
Taken from the 2008-2009 Progress Report:
Progress against objectives:
1. Ongoing sampling from Astrolabe has continued, with 3 return voyages being sampled for phytoplankton species, chlorophyll a and other pigments, coccolithophorid counts and DNA profiles, in conjunction with measurements of CO2, ocean structure, fluorescence and ocean colour by CSIRO / CRC colleagues.
2. Three sets of minicosm experiments were conducted at Davis station with 7 staff spending 4.5 - 5.5 months on site. These experiments consistently found that acidification caused blooms of nanoplanktonic diatoms and increased bacterial activity, apparently by inhibition of microheterotroph grazers, at the expense of larger cells that are more readily ingested by grazers such as krill. We showed for the first time in Antarctic waters that pCO2 affects the structure and function Antarctic microbial communities in a way that may reduce food availability to large grazers. Over 100 cultures of "winners and losers" from such experiments were isolated and returned to Australia. These will form the basis for further physiological experiments including molecular assays.
3. Submission and acceptance of 8 papers from the BROKE-West cruise (5 as senior author). These showed the interactions between bottom-up (micronutient) top-down (grazing) control in structuring microbial populations in the marginal ice zone. Five biogeographic zones were identified on the basis of species composition, and the productivity was measured for each zone. Microzooplankton grazing experiments found that grazing within that microbial loop consumed a significant proportion of new productivity. In some areas later in the season, all productivity was consumed by microheterotrophs, rather than metazoans such as krill. A time sequence was identified for seeding and development of components of ice edge blooms, subsequent grazing and decline and a mechanism postulated for export of micronutrients (e.g. iron) by grazing and sedimentation that prevents subsequent development of surface water blooms and constrains populations to a deep chlorophyll maximum below the level of a nutricline.
4. Detailed analysis of greater than 30 strains of keystone species Emiliania huxleyi of two morphotypes in conjunction with Clara Hoppe (Masters student, Alfred Wegener Institute) and Suellen Cook (PhD student, University of Tasmania) showed consistent differences between strains in terms of pigmentation, responses to light and genetics. The two morphotypes appear to be adapted to different mixing regimes north and south of the Polar Front; the southern form may represent a new species.

How to install nginx on CentOS 7
Nginx is primarily a web server for various protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, POP3 and SMTP. It also performs other functions, including HTTP caching, load balancing and acting as a reverse proxy. Nginx is open-source software that runs on Linux-like operating systems such as CentOS. It's distributed as a binary package that contains all of the files needed to install nginx, including a public PGP key and configuration file. This installation requires you to install the nginx software repository and then install the actual software from the repository.
|Basic - 1 | Medium - 2 | Advanced - 3
|10 min
|CentOS-based VPS or dedicated servers
Here is a quick tutorial on how to install nginx on CentOS 7.
Install the nginx software repository
Connect to your server via SSH (more info).
Switch to the root user (more info).
Enter the directory where you'll install the repository. Assuming you wish to use the tmp directory, you'll use the following command:
Download the appropriate nginx binary package for CentOS. The following wget command downloads the most current version of this package:
Install the nginx yum configuration file for this package with the following rpm command:
Install nginx
The following yum command will install nginx from the yum configuration file by automatically answering "yes" to all questions.
The yum command will produce output similar to the following if nginx installs successfully:
Enter the following commands to enable and start nginx:
(If you have another service listening on port 80, such as Apache - you will have to stop that service prior to starting nginx. You can also change the port that nginx listens on by modifying the
/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf file).
Enter the following URL into your browser:
This page should look like the following screenshot if nginx is running correctly:

U.S. stock index futures are rising today rose on Wednesday, indicating that equities would rebound after a series of weak sessions on strong results from Cisco.
- The S&P 500 has fallen 3.8% over the past five session, with most of those losses driven by uncertainty over looming U.S. "fiscal cliff" demand and persisting concerns over Europe. The index closed below its 200-day moving average for a fourth day in a row on Tuesday, a technical indicator that suggests recent declines could gain momentum.
- Cisco Systems Inc reported first-quarter earnings and revenue late Tuesday that beat expectations, sending the stock soaring 8.3% to $18.25 in premarket trading Wednesday. The Dow component also forecast flat earnings and slower revenue growth for the current quarter.
- The results could boost sentiment over the technology sector, where shares have dropped almost 10% in value over the past two months, dragged down by earnings disappointments from key names like Google. Tech was the worst-performing sector on Tuesday.
- Still, macroeconomic issues will likely still play a major role in trading direction as investors continue to grapple with Europe's debt crisis and the fiscal cliff, a series of mandated tax hikes and spending cuts that start to take effect next year.
- Analysts say serious fiscal negotiations are still weeks away, but that the failure to reach a deal in Congress could tip the world's largest economy into recession.
- S&P 500 futures rose 6.7 points and were above fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures added 48 points and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 17.5 points.
- European shares were 0.5% lower as Greece's unresolved debt crisis continued to raise questions about the region's growth potential, while anti-austerity strikes across southern Europe added to concerns that measures to deal with the debt would be politically difficult to implement.
- International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said on Wednesday she expected a real fix for Greece that included debt sustainability, rather than a quick fix.
- Tyco reported adjusted fourth-quarter earnings that missed expectations. NetApp Inc, Staples Inc and Abercrombie & Fitch are on tap to report later Wednesday.
- October retail sales are on tap for release at 8:30 a.m. ET (1330 GMT) and are seen dropping 0.2%. In September, sales climbed 1.1%. Also, the latest FOMC minutes will be released Wednesday afternoon.
- U.S. stocks fell in a volatile session Tuesday, pressured by Microsoft Corp which fell after the surprise departure of a key executive. However, retail names outperformed after Home Depot raised its outlook.

Phelps didn't have the charisma of Bolt, but what Phelps did has never been done before and there's a good chance it won't ever be done again. So Phelps for me.
... .... .- -.- . / - .... . / -.. . .- - .... / ..-. .-. --- -- / -.-- --- ..- .-. / -... --- -. . ...
Usian is Insane! So yes, I voted for Bolt.
Massive toss up. I voted Phelps, but in hindsight I wish I didn't vote at all.
They've both dominated in different ways. Phelps has won more medals, but the way in which Bolt won the 100m and 200m race was incredible IMO. He just made the rest of the sprinters look pedestrian. He completely embarrassed them. You could argue that Phelps did that in a few of his races, but he didn't have the same effect, compared to when Bolt won the 100m. Im going to go for Bolt just for his charisma.
Bolt, based on the idea that running is perhaps the most accessible sport to the world's population (whereas swimming isn't) and the completely illogical nature of all swimming events except freestyle. To take nothing away from Phelps though, still an astonishing achievement.
Not even close.. 14 Gold Medals and 13 of which have been Olympic Records..Wow.
He would have been close had he won the Long Jump which IMO is one of the toughest event and a highly technical one.
All I'm saying is that Bolt's achievement was also unique. Haven't made my mind up who to vote for yet.
Bolt knocked off arguaby two of the hardest world records to break in men's sport.
Everyone knocked off records in the pool it got to the stage nobody cared.
Bolt for mine.
Fair play to Shaggy ALfresco, he knows where it's at
Has to be Bolt. He made Phelps seem like last week's news.
Phelps swam nigh on 20 races in 7 days. Pretty impressive imo.

Hi, I'm a new owner of a 2013 F700gs and I would like to try a heavier weight oil in the forks. Does anyone know what the factory weight oil is in the forks? I love the bike, but wanted a little firmer ride and wanted to try a heaver weight oil first before going with aftermarket springs. I mostly ride pavement.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. (Declaration of Independence, 1776)
We affirm these self-evident truths, and declare that it is time to abolish our form of government, not by armed revolution, but by the election of representatives who will change it.
The Constitution of the United States allows for the people to elect their representatives every two years, and to elect every senator every six, and to elect the president every four. Each state constitution allows the citizens of that state a similar power to choose their government. Through electing representatives that represent our desire to preserve our government solely to protect the individual rights of everyone, we propose the following changes be made.
- Limited government. Our governments are limited by the constitutions that form them. We need to enact a common understanding among the people of what those limits are and impose them on our governments. We need also to strengthen the already existing limits, overturning bad interpretations by our courts, legislators, and executives, and impose new and stronger limits on our governments which will forever ensure our individual liberty.
- Dramatic cuts to spending. Our governments should spend our money procuring only those goods and services that will protect our rights.
- An end to government charity. It is the role of our churches and the individual to supply charity to the poor, not the state. If the individual and churches cannot supply the charity, government could only do worse. Having government provide charity absolved the conscience and duty of the people from their proper role to love their neighbor.
- An end to unfunded legislation. Any program that congress enacts must be completely and fully funded at the time of its creation. We will not enslave future generations to programs that we create but do not fully fund. Existing programs that are unfunded should be canceled or modified until they can be funded.
- Dramatic cuts to taxation. Our governments should collect far less taxes than the people can bear. The people should be free to pursue whatever economic matter they wish without burden or undue influence due to taxes. Taxes should not be used to punish the rich or to mold society's behavior. They should only be used to raise the necessary money to meet the spending requirements of a government that protects the rights of the individual. Any surpluses should be immediately refunded to the people in proportion to taxes paid, or used to pay off debts. Taxes should never be raised to meet spending; rather, spending should be cut to meet tax revenue.
- An end to government debt. Our people have become more prosperous than any other people in the world. We do not need to borrow money anymore to provide for the needs of government. Paying interest on our government debts is slavery, not freedom. We are not free until we have paid off all of our debts. Any debt that we must incur should be paid off within a very short time frame, so that our debts are not repaid by our children.
- An end to bureaucratic regulation. Any kind of regulation must be debated and passed by the legislatures of our governments, and no other way. No public official should be allowed to set policy that governs the life of anyone but their own employees. No court should dictate legislation. No executive should issue orders except to his troops and employees. Anyone exceeding these limits should immediately be removed from office by impeachment because they are a threat to our liberty.
- An end to over-litigation. The laws of our country are unjust, in that they are used to punish those who have done no wrong with tort laws and allow the criminal to go free. Let our laws be simple and just so that we no longer have need of lawyers. Do not allow our constitution to be interpreted as giving shelter to the guilty or limiting the freedoms of the individual.
We boldly declare that freedom and liberty are dramatically different than tyranny and slavery. In a free society, government works differently than in an enslaved society. Our governments should be eternally fearful of the will of the people, forever locked in by the limits of the constitution which creates them, and ever subservient to the people, both the individual and as a whole.
We emphatically reject the tenets of communism, socialism, fascism, totalitarianism, colonialism, and every other form of government or political idea that sets one person above another, that limits the freedom of the individual for the "greater good", or attempts to convince any individual that they have no rights or fewer rights than the rights man is endowed with by their Creator.
We boldly declare that in our society, the checks and balances in our government includes the individual, private organizations such as businesses or churches or political groups, and federated governments such as the local, state, and federal governments. By distributing the power to govern among these people, organizations, and governments, no one person or group of people is able to obtain much power over the rest.
We also declare that there is enough in this world, and to spare, if the individual is freed from the constraints of government to seek his own fortune in life. We also declare that the man who has obtained wealth is capable of providing charity to the poor, jobs to those who want them, and also to pursue the critical role of participating in politics to keep government constrained. We encourage all men, everywhere, to embrace their freedom, seek their own fortunes, and once having obtained it, spend their time and resources as they see fit in service to their fellowman, without the entanglement of government.
