Hey everyone. My very first car is starting off as a Mitsubishi Eclipse 1995. And since Im wondering since its a Front Wheel Drive Vechile what type of modifications should I do to allow my car to perform some hard core Drifting?
Good god sir. We need an FAQ.I take it it's not turbo?Drifting is gay. FWD cars don't drift anyhow.
Awww.... That sucks....i thought there were special parts or something you could use to make'em.okay thanks anyway
In theory, drifting for FWD does not work out but the theory for drifting in RWD could be reversed to work on FWD vehicles. Is your Eclipse AWD at least?
hm...no..its a FF. does that mean it cant drift?
Cars utilizing a FF setup cannot drift. Powerslide may be as close to "drifting" as you'll get, but you'll wear out your e-brake doing so. To increase your rotational ability, I'd suggest a set of stiffer sway bars for both front and back. It'll increase your overall performance in cornering by keeping the car more flat and, as a side bit, cut back some of the understeer and allow the back end to step out a little bit.I had a heavily modified Eclipse GS (hence my name), so I know what can be done.
Speed and power are a mix of mostly three factors: money, motivation, and time. How fast do you want to go and how broke do you want to be when you get there?
Drifting in a FF is really hard. its more like tail dragging, that's what they told me. i get going kinda fast adn then yank the E-Brake and lock the back tires. this is extremly bad for your tires thought. it causes flat spots on your tires adn will eventually pop then. i had a friend pull the E-brake at 70 and his tires went adn he ground alot of his rims off. he's an idiot! don't just pull your E-brake thought hold the button on the end to release it so you can have the brake when you want it and you can release it really easy.
AH, i Have a solution. Go to McDonalds. Get 2 plastic trays. Drive your rear tires over these and pull the ebrake. Now start driving around and taking corners and stuff, youll get the back end to slide out far and wide.Seriously, why would you want to get into drifting? For one thing, its all about losing traction. you can total your car drifting easier, like getting in too over your head, and giving it too much throttle will cause you to lose complete control and go off the road. I broke a rear differential drifting and it wound up costing me 600 dollars.Now if you get into straightline speed, unless ur running 10's or 11's, you dont really run into the problem of possibly totaling or hurting your car from dragging. You might burn through your clutch if its stock, but thats it, unless u pick a car not meant to drag race and it has weak components(I can aid you in that decision). A car that is faster, is always cooler than a car that can drift well. Cars setup for drift, dont hookup on the drag strip because there not setup for it. to me its kinda lame, i got all the drifting out of me in the miata.You should get an Eclipse GSX, put 2-3 grand into it, run 12's and smoke 92 Dodge Vipers.
thanks everyone for the valuable info. itll come in handy when i make my decision. thanks.

SV1e Upgrade
During facility downtime on Mar 31 - Apr 1, 2001, the processors on chilkoot will be upgraded to Cray's new SV1e processors.
Chilkoot will be the first SV1e in production
The SV1e will have a faster clock and enhancements to cache and scalar processing.
ARSC users, note the extended downtime, the weekend of Mar 31-Apr 1: see "news downtime" and "news PE3.5" for more details and scheduling.
We encourage you to test your codes under PE3.5 and UNICOS 10.0.1.0 (which is to be installed, Monday) as soon as possible. This will help verify this software upgrade, prior to the processor upgrade.
As noted in "news PE3.5", to use PE3.5 effectively, you MUST set the environment variable, TARGET , to cray-sv1 .
UAF Colloquium Series: Burton Smith, March 29

How Shall We Program High Performance Computers? Dr. Burton Smith Chief Scientist Cray Incorporated
Date: Thursday, March 29, 2001 Time: 1:00-2:00 PM Location: Butrovich 109ABSTRACT:
Uniprocessor computer architecture has traditionally been motivated by programming languages and operating systems, with benchmarks written in the usual languages also having some influence. In high performance computing the situation is curiously reversed, with architecture determining the principal characteristics of programming languages, operating systems, and benchmarks. The result has been chaos; a "software crisis" has been declared, and better tools for the development of parallel software have been demanded. The outlook for good tools is bleak without a new approach to the problem, which should include the engineering of computer systems with both system and application software in mind and the development of programming abstractions that are both effective and efficient on hardware we can build.THE SPEAKER:
Burton Smith is Chief Scientist of Cray Inc. He received the BSEE from the University of New Mexico in 1967 and the Sc.D. from MIT in 1972. From 1985 to 1988 he was Fellow at the Supercomputing Research Center of the Institute for Defense Analyses in Maryland. Before that, he was Vice President, Research and Development at Denelcor, Inc. and was chief architect of the HEP computer system. Dr. Smith is a Fellow of both the ACM and the IEEE, and winner of the IEEE-ACM Eckert-Mauchly award in 1991. His main interest is general purpose parallel computer architecture.
Parallel Programming Course, Next WednesdayARSC Training: Parallel Computing Concepts Wednesday, March 28, 2001, 2-4pm
In this course, Jeff McAllister will introduce parallel computing concepts, and message passing algorithms (using MPI) for new and existing codes.For details and registration:
Using "segldr" to Specify Cray-Optimized Routines
While working with a user code on the SV1, we discovered, by scanning the loader's cautionary messages, that it contained explicit code for several standard scientific subroutines that are also available in Cray's optimized libraries. The subroutines may have been copied from Numerical Recipes, and presumably their inclusion guarantees portability.
The reason people use Crays, however, is performance.
Once you've ported your code, and it's running correctly, you can worry about performance. An important step is to realize that generically coded routines just don't beat tuned vendor libraries. We've mentioned this several times in the past. For example, in T3D Newsletter issue #96 , appeared the article
18:1 Speedup Demonstrated: Free for Using System Libraries
Here's a result from that article, where the times are in seconds for performing an identical matrix multiply on the T3D:
Timings for the code are as follows: Time for naive matrix multiplication: 46.09 Time for structured matrix multiplication: 34.33 Time for BLAS1 matrix multiplication: 11.18 Time for BLAS3 SGEMM matrix multiplication: 2.52
Given a large code, the practical questions become:
- How can I determine if subroutines are duplicated?
- If so, how can I tell the loader to use the vendor versions?
The Cray loader, "segldr," cautions you if a module which appears in one of your object, or ".o" files, is duplicated in either another object file or in a library (".a" file). Thus, you simply need to review the the warnings already issued by the loader.
For a manageable test program, I've used a Fortran77 version of the linpacks benchmark, with the array size increased to 400x400. The source is a single file, and it includes hand-written versions of several common matrix/vector operations.
Here's the compile command:
CHILKOOT$ f90 -o linpacks400 linpacks400.f
And the warnings from segldr:
ldr-290 f90: CAUTION Duplicate entry point 'SGEFA' was encountered. Entry in module 'SGEFA' from file 'linpacks400.o' has been used. Entry in module 'SGEFA' from file '/opt/ctl/craylibs/126.96.36.199/libsci.a' has been ignored. ldr-290 f90: CAUTION Duplicate entry point 'SAXPY' was encountered. Entry in module 'SAXPY' from file 'linpacks400.o' has been used. Entry in module 'SAXPY' from file '/opt/ctl/craylibs/220.127.116.11/libsci.a' has been ignored. ldr-290 f90: CAUTION Duplicate entry point 'SDOT' was encountered. Entry in module 'SDOT' from file 'linpacks400.o' has been used. Entry in module 'SDOT' from file '/opt/ctl/craylibs/18.104.22.168/libsci.a' has been ignored. [[ ...4 similar warnings cut... ]]
To reload with the libsci version, you need to issue directives to segldr. The cleanest method I've found is to create a directives file. It takes two directives, LIB and MODULES.
"LIB=<library file>" seems to be required, even if "-l" is used on the command line. It tells segldr what libraries to load.
"MODULES=<module name>:<library file>" tells segldr to load <module name> from <library file> , even if it encounters duplicate copies of <module name> .
Here's the file of directives I created for the linpacks test:File: segldr.dir
LIB=/opt/ctl/craylibs/188.8.131.52/libsci.a MODULES=SDOT:/opt/ctl/craylibs/22.214.171.124/libsci.a MODULES=SGEFA:/opt/ctl/craylibs/22.214.171.124/libsci.a MODULES=SGESL:/opt/ctl/craylibs/126.96.36.199/libsci.a MODULES=SMXPY:/opt/ctl/craylibs/188.8.131.52/libsci.a MODULES=SSCAL:/opt/ctl/craylibs/188.8.131.52/libsci.a MODULES=SAXPY:/opt/ctl/craylibs/184.108.40.206/libsci.a LIB=/opt/ctl/craylibs/184.108.40.206/libu.a MODULES=ISAMAX:/opt/ctl/craylibs/188.8.131.52/libu.a
Having said this is "clean", I realize it's pretty ugly. When processing the files specified in the MODULE directives, segldr doesn't honor search paths. Thus, complete paths are required.
To use the segldr directive file, you must pass the option, "-i <directives file name>" to segldr. Here's one approach, showing how to invoke segldr directly:
$ f90 -c linpacks400.f $ segldr -i segldr.dir linpacks400.o -o linpacks400.libsci
Here's another approach, which uses f90's "-Wl..." option to pass options through to segldr:
$ f90 -o linpacks400.libsci linpacks400.f -Wl"-i segldr.dir"
Either approach will work, and you'd probably chose that which introduces the fewest changes into an existing makefile.
When executed, segldr now issues different warnings:
ldr-162 f90: CAUTION The loader has ignored duplicate module 'SGEFA' from file 'linpacks400.o'. ldr-162 f90: CAUTION The loader has ignored duplicate module 'SGESL' from file 'linpacks400.o'. ldr-162 f90: CAUTION The loader has ignored duplicate module 'SAXPY' from file 'linpacks400.o'. ldr-162 f90: CAUTION The loader has ignored duplicate module 'SDOT' from file 'linpacks400.o'. ldr-162 f90: CAUTION The loader has ignored duplicate module 'SSCAL' from file 'linpacks400.o'. ldr-162 f90: CAUTION The loader has ignored duplicate module 'ISAMAX' from file 'linpacks400.o'. ldr-162 f90: CAUTION The loader has ignored duplicate module 'SMXPY' from file 'linpacks400.o'.
These warnings tell us all we need for this simple program: the hand-coded routines from linpacks400.f have been ignored, which implies they were loaded, as we specified explicitly in the directives, from libsci.
If you want more information, and to blow your mind, tell segldr to dump a load map. This option, "-M loadmap.out,epxrf" , will dump entry point cross references to the file "loadmap.out" , which can be browsed or grepped for specific modules, to find out from whence they came.
So... did it speed things up to substitute the cray libraries? Quite a bit. Here's the hpm output for both versions:Hand-coded matrix/vector routines (linked without segldr directives):

Quick-Tip Q & A
A: [[ What's up with this? [[ [[ chilkoot% rm ldat.199801.* [[ Arguments too long. [[ chilkoot% [[ chilkoot% ls ldat.199801.* [[ Arguments too long. Thanks to Terry Jones: ===================================================== Check to see how many files with names beginning with ldat.199801: (do an "ls grep ldat.199801 wc -l" or something equivalent). If it is a very large number of files, the problem is likely to be that with the wildcard (*), the list of files that this expression matches is simply too large. I cannot say how large is too large, but the shell will expand the wildcard and generate a list of files. The rm and ls commands will get called with this list attached to the end of the command line (e.g., "ls file.*" might expand to "ls file.1 file.2 file.3", and so on). If the list is longer than the shell can handle (I am sure there is a max_list parameter in there somewhere!), then the error message above is what is displayed. I've had this happen before, when manipulating large quantities of files all named the same, located in the same directory. Thanks to Richard Griswold: ======================================================= When ldat.199801.* is expanded, there are too many characters for the shell to handle. Instead you can do something like this and avoid the limitations of the shell: \ls grep "^ldat\.199801\..*" Since I alias ls to "ls -al", I use a backslash in front of the ls command to bypass the alias. This will get the default behavior instead of the aliased behavior. This command will get you a list of the files. If you want to delete them, simply pipe the output to "xargs rm": \ls grep "^ldat\.199801\..*" xargs rm If you want a long listing, you can pipe the output to "ls -l": \ls grep "^ldat\.199801\..*" xargs ls -l You can even rename the output: \ls grep "^ldat\.199801\..*" sed "s/\(.*\)/mv '\1' 'myfiles.\1'/" \ (sh) Of course, you'll need some additional code inside the sed script to handle single quotes in your file names. Q: Is there a way to peek at my NQS job's stdout and stderr files (.o and .e files), while the job is still running? I'm in debug mode, here, and wasting a lot of CPU time because these jobs must run to completion before I can see ANY output.

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) today announced the establishment of three Nathan Shock Centers of Excellence in Basic Biology of Aging. The centers -- at the University of Michigan, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and University of Washington -- are the first of their kind, designed to stimulate and enhance research into the basic biological processes of aging by developing cutting edge research techniques and innovative, experimental model systems. Ultimately, research at the centers is expected to yield breakthroughs in understanding the course of normal aging and the diseases and conditions that affect older people, such as frailty and cancer.
The centers are approved for 5 years, with the first year of funding for the three centers totaling about $1.2 million. They are named for Nathan W. Shock, Ph.D., the first scientific director of the NIA. Shock was a pioneer in the field of aging research and the developer of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging, which began studying normal human aging over 30 years ago.
Richard L. Sprott, Ph.D., NIA's Associate Director for the Biology of Aging, says the centers are a critical next step in understanding how we age. "We're beginning to get answers to some important biological questions, such as what is the effect of a particular gene,"he says. According to Sprott, "We have the ability to do reductionist research, breaking down an organism to the tiniest pieces of chromosomes at various points in a given process. These centers will take what we have learned and provide cutting edge research on the whole organism as well as on specific biological processes."
The universities selected to inaugurate the Shock Centers program are already leaders in research into the biology of aging and in aging research generally. The centers are set up so that scientists within each university, from a wide variety of disciplines, can use the center's resources in their research. A key component of each center will be the development of transgenic mice and rats, animals in which foreign or altered genes can be inserted to elucidate a particular gene's function.
The principal investigators and a description of their projects follows:
John A. Faulkner, Ph.D., University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The Michigan group will look at the molecular and cellular mechanisms of the basic biology of aging in four areas -- musculoskeletal frailty, signal transduction (cell-to-cell communication), protein structure and function, and control of gene expression.
A key part of the center's effort will be the maintenance of rats and mice of certain genotypes and the development of new mutant and transgenic rodents for gerontological studies. The group will produce mice of different genotypes to look at aging processes and age-related physiological changes that, specifically, may shed light on extended lifespan, breast cancer, gene activity in late life, and the effects of aging on muscle cells and T-lymphocytes (cells important to the immune system).
Michigan will also specialize in developing the latest in cell imaging technology, providing facilities and equipment for tissue and cellular imagery as well as the necessary expertise for evaluating data. The center will provide advice and help to researchers on digital imaging in particular. (Media Contact: Diane Swanbrow, 313/747-4416).
Arlan G. Richardson, Ph.D., University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio. The Texas team's approach is based on the idea that the biological mechanisms leading to cell senescence, the stage at which a cell has stopped dividing permanently, can be identified by changing a whole organism genetically, nutritionally, and pharmacologically. One area the team will explore is caloric restriction.
Genetic manipulations will be accomplished by focusing on the development of transgenic animals in which genes will be "overexpressed," a technique to heighten a particular gene's effects by inserting more copies, or by "knockout" techniques, which remove genes to examine what happens in their absence. For example, the center might be able to "overexpress" certain antioxidant enzymes to examine the role of free radicals in the development of tumors that occur with increasing age. In addition, the Texas group will be developing and maintaining transgenic animals for study by researchers university-wide. A special pathology program to examine tissues, cells, and molecular mechanisms of the transgenic animals as they age will be developed as well. (Media Contact: James Barrett, 210/567-2570)
Peter S. Rabinovitch, M.D., Ph.D., University of Washington, Seattle. In Washington, scientists will focus on getting the latest molecular genetic techniques into the hands of researchers in the biology of aging.
A transgenic rodent program will develop new animal models for studying mechanisms of the aging process, including gene knockouts. Another part of the program will focus on keeping transgenic and knockout animals free of infection and disease so that the normal biological processes of aging can be studied.
A flow cytometry and cell sorting program will allow use of these complex techniques for examining the cell cycle, DNA content, mechanisms of cell death, and characterization of transgenic mouse cells. In addition, a yeast genetics group will offer expertise to investigators wishing to use molecular research tools to detect and analyze the interactions of cellular proteins. (Media Contact: Kay Rodriguez, 201/543-3620).
In addition to specific projects, each group will encourage and train young investigators in the field and fund promising pilot projects to encourage groundbreaking research.
The NIA, part of the National Institutes of Health, leads the Federal effort supporting and conducting basic, clinical, behavioral, and social research on aging.


text: I have an older style MOJO. The switch went out on it a few years back so it has been wired straight from the battery to motor. I bought a MOJO remote for it last year but never got around to putting it in. My question is, the remote receiver is wired to be plugged in to the newer style MOJO's. I need to cut this plug off and wire it in, but I'm not excellent at electrical work. Can anybody guide me on exactly which wires need to be connected, or even if this will work at all?


text: Hey guys, haven't been on here in quite a while. Haven't been shooting my PPK/S in a long time(6 months or so) Here in HI, the only public range has the closest targets (metallic sillhouette) at 50m. The largest one there is approximately a 4'x4' steel square gong. Even bench rested, I was unable to consistently hit this square with my PPK/S when all my other handguns it was easy day making that ring every shot. I got to looking at my gun because I knew that something was up. Sure enough the bottom 1/3 of the muzzle crown had a burr of raised metal equal to the height of the rifling. This would cause exaggerated drag on the bottom of the bullet as it exited the barrel, and then, given the rotation of the bullet, would cause it to move downrange in a circular fashion rotating around an imaginary axis out of the barrel itself. The miniscule variances in powder charge and bullet seating depth of the store bought WWB 95gr fmj was causing different velocities and therefore the inconsistent hits at 50m. I have never dropped this gun, always transported in a foam lined case, and was bought brand new. I can only assume that this gun came like this from the factory. I really did not want to send the gun back and the tinkerer in my said I can do it myself. I watched some youtube gunsmithing videos from MidwayUSA on how to properly recrown a muzzle and felt "edjumicated" enough to take on this endeavor. It wasn't in my budget to buy the proper tools sold on MidwayUSA to fix this, so I went on down to Lowes and found a countersink set that would serve my purpose, I also got a tree shaped ginding stone bit for a drill and a tap/die handle. Very carefully and slowly, I removed some metal, checking often and got it to where the burr was no longer visible from either the muzzle or chamber end. Finished with some Crocus cloth and took her to the range early saturday morning. Holy crap did those 'groups' tighten up, I was able to hold torso sized steel plates at 50m with a two handed hold. Hopefully this will help me later in life when I retire from the Navy and open up an amateur gunsmith shop out of my garage(don't worry, by then I will have gotten the proper tools for the job). Just thought I would share with yall, thanks for reading.

Auralex MoPADs Studio Monitor Foam Stands Reviews
No pads then you'll be need mopads
Great addition to the studio. The mopads make it easier to judge the bottom end within a mix. Such a simple solution for a very fair price!
The mopads are a simple & cost effective acoustic solution for your studio monitors.
They really do make a difference by isolating them from the resting surface and tightening up the bass end as well.
A must for anyone who is setting up their home studio.
MoPads and AV40s
James, I've just purchased AV40s. Sound seems great on the solid desk I use. However, I'm interested improving the quality so did the MoPads fit ok?
Huge Difference
Before I purchased the MoPads my Studiophile AV40\'s were resting on wood and the resonance was awful. Ruining what i was hearing.
I got the MoPads and the sound is very very clear. I use them in my home studio and creating mixes is a lot better now.
Wonderful product.
The price? Hmm...worth it i would say because i don\'t feel cheated.
egg box
cheap cardboard egg boxes filled with expanding foam do exactly the same job...
but to be fair they do exactly what they are marketed as.
MoPads... Bit of cheap foam?.... Or not?
I\'m what you\'d call an amateur when it comes to recording. Songwriter who\'s doing his best to make decent demos maybe, so I\'m probably not the best authority on this however...
I thought, christ a bit of foam, £40 (at the time)!!! Not a chance!
But the bass freq. feedback you get from your monitors sat on a desk without these things is horrendous!
Well worth the money. Cleans up your mix to get accurate results.
Word about Dolphin service, second to none. First time buyers, delivery is slightly pricey but the customer service is sublime! well worth it. I\'ve made about a dozen purchases and only had one problem which was resolved within 24 hours!
Auralex MoPADs - Superb
So I bought into all the hype and got a pair of these to isolate my new monitors from my desk. (No room for stands in my student accommodation)
They do an excellent job at isolating the monitor, being curious I used some of the foam that came with the monitors to compare and there is a fair amount of difference between the foam!
I would give these 10, but I feel they are slightly over priced.
Highly Recommended
Good Improvement
These are good for what they are, and they do help to reduce boomy bass from your monitors.
Using actual speaker stands would sound slightly better, but these are cheaper. They can do a good job as long as your monitors are moved away from the walls and corners.
Auralex MoPAD\\\'s
The MoPad\\\'s are very good in my opinion, they give insulate the speakers very good. I have tested it on my wood table and it gives out a not very nice punchy sound. These have really helped me to actually get a good listen to the music. All in all there very good and a need for speakers/monitors.
I bought these along with my LSR4328P monitor speakers. While I normally use the speakers on stands (see my review for the LSR4328P) there are times when you want to put them on some other surface, and these Auralex pads do a great job of isolating them totally from vibrating other things around them. They do make a real difference, and when you are mixing, it is important that you are monitoring well. A big plus for me is the way you can choose different angles for the speakers - from level to two different angles facing up, and another two facing down. Perfect!
Initially I bought a copied version of the Mopad to save money but they were rubbish. My mate had the real thing and they really made a difference, so I ate humble pie and coughed up for the real thing..
Wow...! These made my speakers sound tighter instantly and really brought out the best in my room setup.
If you spent the money on decent speakers you need these!
...and i don't give 10s. I will go as far as saying, you don't have monitors until you have them properly decoupled from the surface on which they stand.
These really have brought things in to focus, its made hearing whats going on simpler. Superb value for money
value for mney
I noticed an immediate performance boost in my monitors when using these isolation pads, the sound was much more solid and detailed. Before i had them resting on a desk table and the sound was boomy and forced,the table was resonating a lot.
These pads arent just normal foam youd expect in packaging. its more denser and a solid construction, proper acoustic foam. It comes in a neat little package which includes 4 pads (2 per monitor) to float your monitoring system, and also comes with 4 wedges which you can put on top of the other ones in order to give you different angles to float your monitoring system at (8 degrees up,0 degrees flat, etc)
I use alesis active m1 mk2's in a project studio with these wedges underneath and one port per speaker plugged and i must say i am amazed. the pads really work and 'do what they say on the tin'
'nearly 40 quid on some foam?!' i hear you ask. Just make the purchase and see for yourself. The amount of resonance it reduces is incredible and believe it or not reduces that muddyness and over boomy lows from your mix
Holy Shnizz !!!!
I had been reading up on these pads for quite some time and finally decided to wipe the dust from my wallet.
I was initially really concerned about spend £40 on some foam to rest my monitors on ,but boy was it worth it.
I noticed the difference in my monitors performance instantly. The bass is indeed far more direct than previously and the overall sound is much crisper.
I was also pleased at the fact the pads had raised the monitors to the perfect height in comparison to before.
The fact that you can also position the monitors at various angles may come in handy in the future.
I am so pleased with this product that I may invest in another set for isolation of various pieces of hardware.
Thank you very much Auralex and Dolphin Music !
I'll be spreading the good word.

Allergic Reaction to this!

I tried this only once because I was highly allergic to it! Gave me itchy watery red eyes the entire night! Must be all the chemicals it contains. I do not have this problem with other eye creams. It does smell good though and it was cheap so I gave it away.
Good product, and good price

Reptile and Amphibian Conservation
Snakes of Georgia
Snakes are common across Georgia, even in urban and suburban areas. As development and population growth continue in Georgia, encounters between humans and snakes will increase.
Georgia is fortunate to have among the highest biodiversity of snakes in the United States with 46 species. Snakes can be found from the mountains of northern Georgia to the barrier islands along the Atlantic coast. The rich diversity of snake species makes Georgia ideal for observing and learning about snakes.
According to the National Wildlife Federation, at least 20 percent of the U.S. population suffers some degree of snake fear. Regardless of the cause, extreme fear is unnecessary. Snakes are not under every rock or behind every tree; encounters are relatively infrequent. Typically, the more people learn about snakes, the less they fear them. By learning about species identification and distribution as well as the fascinating natural history of these reptiles, you will greatly reduce your fear of Georgia's snakes and enjoy the outdoors more.
Click here for the PDF version of a snakes fact sheet.
Want to learn more? Download the "Venomous Snakes of Georgia" brochure and "Is It a Water Moccasin?" brochures.
Also check out the Snakes of Georgia and South Carolina website, produced with The University of Georgia's Savannah River Ecology Laboratory. This site provides information about the biology of snakes, as well as information and photographs useful for identifying the snake species of Georgia and South Carolina.

Brent Jordan of Banks, Ala., is the winner of a Yamaha four-wheeler awarded as first prize in the Outdoor Alabama Sweepstakes. The sweepstakes was conducted by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) on its Website, www.outdooralabama.com. The Yamaha Grizzly 350 four-wheeler, valued at $6,650, was donated by the Montgomery Yamaha dealership and Yamaha Motors.
Jordan, who is an avid hunter, picked up the four-wheeler from the Montgomery dealership with great enthusiasm. "I've never won anything before," he said. "I like coon hunting, so I plan to put a box on the back for my hounds." Jordan said he will also be using the four-wheeler during the next deer hunting season, an activity he looks forward to every year. "I've been hunting since I was 6 years old," he said.
Conservation Commissioner N. Gunter Guy Jr. created the sweepstakes to add some excitement to the hunting and fishing license-buying process. "I thought this would be a great way to promote online interaction with hunters and anglers. Many of them don't know that you can purchase a license online from a home computer or, for those who have Internet access, on a mobile phone." Purchasing a license was not a requirement to enter the sweepstakes.
Gerald Smith, vice president of the Montgomery Honda Yamaha dealership, said he and General Manager David Huneycutt were pleased to partner with Yamaha Motors and ADCNR to provide the four-wheeler for the sweepstakes. "We wanted to do something to stay active in the community," he said. "A lot of our business is from hunters."
Also partnering in the sweepstakes was Academy Sports + Outdoors, who provided additional prizes for the sweepstakes.
Guy said the sweepstakes will return next year. "We're gearing up to have another great giveaway, so I encourage people to visit www.outdooralabama.com and watch for the details."
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama's natural resources through five divisions: Marine Patrol, Marine Resources, State Lands, State Parks, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.

Arsène Wenger has stressed recent speculation linking him with a move to Paris Saint Germain is purely that, and his future is with the club he loves – Arsenal.
While in Metz for a recent France international the manager was asked about financially stricken Ligue 1 side PSG, with one French newspaper then implying he was interested in a future role at the Parisian side. Wenger has rubbished the reports.
"There is only one club in my heart, and that is Arsenal," said the 60-year-old.
"PSG is the slightest of my worries. I am 100 per cent happy here. I have just extended my contract here - after that, I don't know what I'll do.
"Anything else is just talk to get out of an interview where I was surrounded before the game in Metz."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

I'm desperate to get a job in Indonesia, Jakarta. Any kind of job that would enable me to support myself. I have MA in Translations and BA in teaching ESL, I'm planning to do CELTA, but... I'm POLISH! Can anyone out there please tell me if I'm doomed already or if there still is a ray of hope for me?
I've read so many articles, but there is no definite answer. I'm fluent in English, have 3 years experience in teaching. Please help me!
Thanks in advance for any comments!

Yes, Echo does try to feed Kyleigh ... I take out all their food around 7:30 pm and then they are in their cages. Sometimes Echo doesn't eat all the food (I hide it in places all over her cage) and she'll call Kyleigh over and then tosses it out of the cage for Ky. Ky's in heaven when that happens!!!
I've been watching very closely, and there is a definite "change" in Kyleigh towards Echo. She's not so "intense."
For example, Echo has taken a couple of baths in her water bowl, and Kyleigh has simply laid there and watched her (with me in the sidelines ready to pounce!)
When Echo is at the top of her cage and calling Kyleigh, I simply stay in the chair beside Echo's cage and watch Kyleigh like a hawk ... looking for any change in body language. She's actually been around her cage now for about 2 weeks with no "intense" stares.
This certainly doesn't mean I'm going to let them out together EEK!!! But it does show me that Ky is FINALLY learning that the parrots are not a play toy, or something to be stalked, pounced on!
|Aww! My grey feeds the dogs...if yours does, too, then it may be a gift in return! Or maybe she just wants to lure the bird down to where she's easier to catch, LOL! My parrots make MUCH bigger messes in less time!
Kyleigh left Echo a present
For those of you that give raw bones, you know just how much thought goes into EXACTLY where that bone has to go ... Kyleigh paced for a good 5 minutes before she laid it to rest ...
I wonder if it was a gift for Echo, as it's right under her cage! (pardon the mess under Echo's cage ... it was just cleaned on Saturday ... not like you'd know LOL)

not meant to be. If the shirt looks like it's folded up at the bottom so that the design overlaps the edge, that's what we call an 'optical illusion'. The lighting of the wrinkly template just gives the illusion of a folded up edge. The design actually stops a couple of inches from the real bottom of the shirt.
yeah, that's it.
actually, you need to not be too close to the bottom or sides, but there is no requirement to be within that box you see on the woot shirt template. the design is actually 14"x19", well within woot's 16x20 requirement.

This one has got my vote. At the first quick glance I saw something on a barbecue. But on closer inspection you see it's actually a cat on a copy machine.
I haven't bought a shirt since the prices went up, but this could be the one... good luck!

By Richard Clarke
Arsène Wenger is looking to harness and channel the raw enthusiasm of Arsenal's latest midfield soldier - Emmanuel Frimpong.
The powerfully-built 19-year-old is enjoying a breakthrough season at the Club. He was impressive on his full debut against Liverpool back in August and highly effective against Manchester City in the Carling Cup last week.
Having won Group F, Wenger is using some of his squad players for the Champions League trip to Olympiacos on Tuesday night. And, if it gets tough in Greece, he knows Frimpong can be relied upon.
"I love his raw enthusiasm," remarked the Frenchman. "The only problem is to keep him on the right track. Like every generous guy, you don't want to see him lose that. He's a real fighter. You would love to go to war [alongside] Frimpong.
"But he also has to use his energy in a positive way because sometimes too much energy can be a handicap.
"He has a good mixture of confidence, humility and energy. He learns as well. So after the heat, he accepts that he needs to think about what is wrong and right."
Overeagerness saw Frimpong sent off late in that Liverpool game and, on occasion, he has responded to shouts of "shoot" from the crowd.
"Football is made about what the game wants not what the fans in the stands want," said Wenger. "Good players always respond to the game situation and make the right decision taking all the emotional part out of it.
"It's a question of experience. When you are young you think you have a strong shot and people say: 'come on have a go.' You are tempted to do it even though you have a pass to make.
"At 24 you think: 'come on, I have that pass to make'."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

I'm definitely going to play this.
Hardcore world PvP with a system that sends you to "jail" and you can even have a court case (according to the videos I've seen) sounds like the most promising MMO... ever.

Awesome, if AL2 will have the same variety of cheats as 1st one had, i'll be there cheating!

|Another finger incident, at least this one is legit:finger found
|Everyone is point there finger at the lady and what she did, but what about the reporters? Had they waited until all the facts were in before dragging Wendy's name through the dirt a lot of lost revenue would have been avoided. Maybe they should all be sued also...
Mmm Yummy!
Mmm Wendy's chili is finger lickin good!
Sorry guys I just couldn't resist
|I am a Cannibal and I take great offense at all this talk of how nasty the human flesh taste is,and how sick one would be if they were to consume it. I am now contacting a law office to see what my compensation should be. If anyone here knows a good attorney who specializes in cannabalistic representation please let me know,as we have none here.I am going to have enough money to finish my car,pay off my house,put my kids through school,although they will learn to sue for your money and not work for it,AND buy me some "food".
Now the guy that ate skin, I can sympathize with. Thats just putrid in my mind. That would put me off for a while. But we already know, how I feel about fast food, so it becomes a "thats what you get" type of thing. But if I was at a fancy restraunt and got something nasty in my food, I would be probably be content with a free meal. A finger though...I know its unlikely but that would be traumatizing. When I was a kid (we all did this) I bit into an apple and realized I ate half a bug. I dint eat apples FOR YEARS after that..
I mean a traumatizing event like that can haunt you for a while...Is that not worth something?
|Hell,those multi-billion dollar compainies have so many different insurance policies just for those types of incidents,they will write it all off as a buisness expense and still post record profits.
If I saw a finger would I sue? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Would I be sick to my stomache? Maybe !?!
Did it cause me irrepairable damage? NO
What were MY out of pocket expenses as a result? $5.00
Give me a free meal and we're even.
(2 free meals if you want the finger back!)
The dude @ Arby's did what he thought was right. After cutting your hand, you MAY or MAY NOT know what you were working on. Tad stressful, huh? He WAS THE MANAGER! He's the highest trained. The "victim" was nauseous. Big deal.
Disney- unless you want to pay out you *** for everythig in life, there are compromises you make. AS A BUSINESS OWNER- How long do you train someone? C'mon. How long? Until you FEEL they KNOW their job. How do you know FOR SURE? Does your supervisor watch every move you make? Have you ever made a mistake? Ever excercised poor judgement? Ever in an accident?
Perfect example- YOU tripped over an aisle end display that was empty. Isn't it reasonable to expect you to WATCH where YOU walk, or should you be guided by a store employee down each aisle? You want "freedom from the government", but soon, we will be required to have a federal employee walk with us, to keep us out of harms reach.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. The more you ask government to step in (Health insurance, safety issues, etc) the more they intervene in your life. Shhhh Big Brother is watching us....
|what I pay for INSurance doesnt bug me, same with taxes. its sort of "unseen" in my eyes, and its CERTAINLY not gonna go lower is it? if frivilous lawsuits just ALL OF SUDDEN ended tomorrow, would the INS companies say, oh lets refund all that "extra" money we charge? He££ no. INS companies are just like oil companies. I live LESS than a 100 miles from several HUGE refineries. WHy is it that the BAY AREA pays the most for gas? They alwasy justify that with BS about transporting and whatever, but the fact is, the second we pay, the price is locked.. gas has been over 2$ for a LONG time here, its not going back down. you wanna blame that on criminals who sue 7-11 fine. I do think there are legitimate reasons to sue, and that should not be taken away from us. Corporations do (IMO) have responsibility to keep thier "patrons" safe to a reasonable extent. IF I get shot in 7-11 because of a roberry attempt, thats not 7-11's fault. but if the squishy machine explodes and takes a couple of my fingers, thats 7-11's fault.
That is just it. It COULD NOT have been real. If you worked in that type of setting,and you lost your finger.Do you really think they would say oh well,keep making the chili? Hell no,with workmans comp,OSHA and the like,the manufacterer would have known to stop production immediatley and find that finger.
On a side note,Wendy's makes the Chili at the restaurant,saw that on 20/20 or something like that. If you only have a handful of employees,sure would not be hard to find "Nubsie"
My criminal lawsuit was just my rant. Of course of stupidity plays a role in a death as at Disney,that is a diferent story,but someone hurt in the act of commiting a crime should not get ****,that means running from the cops and wrecking,to falling off a curb at a 7-Eleven you just robbed. Nothing but a 8X8 will do.
The Wendys lady should be "made an example of also.She has filed several lawsuits over her lifetime. CGG,people like that are what cost your insurance policy to increase,your products that you buy to increase.If you owned a buisness and I sued you falsely and won,you would have to recoup your cost. Now,think about that in the sense that the size of these places are,and the ludicrous amounts of money people who are deadbeats are demanding,AND WINNING.
Is 50k too much? WHat does that guy deserve? Does he deserve anything? WHo does he sue? They guy with the missing skin, for his GROSS neglegence, in not throwing away the lettuce? Or Does he sue arbys, because they have nimrods who dont throw away lettuce that might contain their skin?
what do you say?
I think 50k is fair. I mean how disguisting is knowing that you ate someones skins, not to mention the paranoia you might have eatiing another sandwich, or wonder what disease the employee may have...
|Well since were on the subject of body parts in fast food look what was on netscape today: http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/ns/news/...47.htm&sc=1110
|crazy larry
that is an admission of responsibility for the customers injury. that's what i was told when i was in retail. in fact, we were told not to even offer to call an ambulance......
the fifty dollar GC would have been seen as hush money.
i could use some hush money.
if i'd have found the finger......
i don't know. i would have most definitely have been eating for free that day.
Criminals should lose their right to lawsuits period. If you are a criminal killed during the commiting of a crime, you should thank the Gov. for giving you a state sponsered cremation and a paper bag to keep the remains in.
However, it is not all "criminals" there are regular joes getting hurt everyday. Disney doesnt owe the family of the guy that got killed by the pirate ship ANYTHING? Welcome to the happiest place on earth, sorry you died? THat was a freak accident, the people who got killed were only guilty of "being next". They didnt do anything stupid, it wasnt a "coffe is hot" thing at all. A mistrained employee tried to moor a boat that was going too fast, the bow broke, and killed her, and several people in line. You dont think Disney owes the Victims ANYTHING? What about these people who have gotten hurt at Home Depot, by collapsing shelves. Have you seen what they store up there? Mine stores 50 lbs cement 6 ft off the ground! The store porcelan tile, steel tubs, all that stuff is WAY above 6ft. Is it just my bad luck that an employee caused a shelf to collapse? isnt home depot responsible for proper training?
As for coffee being hot. Yes coffee is hot. Tell me do you like your coffe at 120 or 180? because MCD coffee was found to be 180! Yes I know coffee is hot, but hot is all relative, Can you tell the difference between coffee that will give you 3rd degree burn in 7 seconds or coffee that will give 3rd degree burns in 21 seconds? because that is the difference between coffee that is 180, and coffe that is below 160.
I did have the oppurtunity to "sue" best buy a few months back. I fell over an empty end cap display. Did I sue? no, It could have been my fault it could have been theres. Me personally I wasnt hurt, that bad. But I certainly would have accepted an apology (an maybe a 50$ GC). but are we not guaranteed a certain amount of saftey when we go out? is it too much to assume that a floor is dry? or a giant shelf has been packed right?
Ron or Jeff, or anyone for that matter. pretending that the chili finger WAS real, if it had happened to you. what would you have done??

at what point in history did the us become a litigious society? it has to have been since maybe WWII or possibly a tad earlier, i don't know, this is where someone chimes in with the data, but. when we allowed people to put the responsibility of our (yours mine his hers) own actions, wth is that about?
but we don't have the right to make a stupid ignorant person be anymore than that. it blows me away, working with juvenile delinquent youths, that there are so many people in this world who are perfectly happy being the way they are. and see nothing wrong with it. what ever happened to morals and decency. when did it become ok to see someone victimized and stand there and look on and do nothing, or worse, join in? and then get off on trial for mob mentality? you stand a better chance of getting out of prison on parole for murder or rape than you do if caught smoking dope.
point in fact, a bud of mine is in huntsville right now, third conviction of possession of marijuana. 18 years before he has possibility of parole.
the bastard who shot and killed my grandfather was paroled in 12.
fwiw, he's not on this earth anymore to cause anymore problems. and that's all i'ma say about that.
where is the sponsitility?
Im IT,Im IT....
The best frivoulous lawsuit is one where a drug dealer gets killed in his lifestyle by a Police officer.The "Good Boy who loves his Momma",has never worked a day in his life.Yet he wants to be a Vetranarian,at 22 years of age,if you have NEVER worked a day in your life,you are surely not worth the $250,000 the city has offered for your Pathetic leach like life. Let alone that his family has refused the offer,they want more than $2.5 MILLION,for future earnings.HE WAS A CONVICTED DRUG DEALER!!!!! For Gods sake,they should be happy if his worthless *** got a paupers funeral service at the expense of my tax dollars.
Of course that is going on here.The thug tried to kill the Police,got killed himself.Has been convicted for this type of **** before,and now he is worth $2.5 Mil????? Give me a break!! HE WAS COMPLETELY WORTHLESS!! His entire life was completely worthless. Is there a VALUE on human life??? You bet,but for this guy it would be in the hole,because he never worked to pay taxes on his inbcarcerations,court fees,jail time,3 squares a day and so on. Good Ridiance you damn Leach To Society. I hope the family does not get squat. But Juries look at it with this menatlity that one day they may be able to sue.
Some of the lawsuits on other items are kind of touch and go. The coffee incident.At 81 years of age,you KNOW coffee is served HOT!!! Duh!!!
The Chili Finger??? Come on,that set off Red Flags with me the minute I heard it.If someone lost a finger in the processing,the whole batch would be checked for the finger to reattach it.Really,think about it,if YOU lost a piece of your finger from the knuckle,would you not want it back????

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on Adıyaman Asu TV dated 14 February 2011
ADNAN OKTAR : Truly We have given you the Great Abundance.
So pray to your Lord and sacrifice.
It is the one who hates you who is cut off without an heir. (Surat al-Kawthir, 1-3)
"We have given you the Great Abundance." That also gives an abjad value of 1453. The physical conquest in 1453. 1453 AD. When will the spiritual conquest take place? Hijri 1453 refers to the time of global dominion, insha'Allah. The hypocrites claimed that our Prophet's (saas) line came to an end with the death of his son. They rejoiced at that, at the end of the line of our Prophet (saas). But our Prophet's (saas) continued through his daughter. Global dominion in the End Times will be the answer to them all, insha'Allah. Hazrat Mahdi (as), from the line of our Prophet (saas) they said had come to an end, will rule the world. So much for his line coming to an end! Hazrat Mahdi (as) will rule the world, intellectually, in a glorious and fine manner. And he will rule it with the sayyids. The end of the world is a glorious one, with millions of sayyids. They said the line of our Prophet (saas) had come to an end, but it will rule the world, under a spiritual leadership, with millions of his descendants. Bediuzzaman speaks of "millions of sayyid joining together, and striving to discharge that duty together with him," with Hazrat Mahdi (as).2012-07-08 18:43:27

iPhone 5 Party Horns are here!
We have them in 2 colors Glow in the Dark and Black!
This little guy packs a punch! It's our solution for hotel room speakers! Everyone involved with LOUD are professional travelers. We are away from home for weeks at a time. When you get to your destination, it's important to make your hotel room, tent, or floor space, your home away from home. First, TUNES! You stick your iphone or ipod into the Horn and this little guy screams. No electricity or batteries required!
The Party Horn is made out of silicone so you can throw it in your travel bag or in your pocket and not worry about breaking it. It's smoosh to fit.
1$ of this purchase goes to our Hear No Evil Project and the Let Them Hear Foundation benefitting the hearing impaired.
For more information on cochlear implants please visit www.letthemhear.org and we thank you for your purchase.
LOUD Headphones and our Hear No Evil Foundation:
Our Hear No Evil project is one of and probably the most important reasons why Loud Headphones has been created. We have made it our goal to sell deaf people headphones! We know this sounds like a bad business model, but just stay with us for a second. Loud is donating $1 of each headphone sold to a cochlear implant foundation that will give deaf and the hearing impaired a second chance to hear again. Some people suffer from a deafness that cannot be corrected. Now there is a way to get and give back the gift of sound that most of us take for granted. This is where a partnership between the Let Them Hear Foundation and Loud Headphones come in.
A cochlear implant is a small device consisting of a microphone, transmitter and a speech processor that is surgically implanted. It helps provide sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing. The implant works for the majority of deaf people, but unfortunately there is a socioeconomic divide that prevents availability for people who want it but simply can't afford it. The implant costs close to $40,000 in the United States and is not always covered by insurance. In some cases and especially with young children who are just learning to speak, intense speech therapy is required after the initial surgery and that is an additional expense on top of what is already a very expensive process.
This is where CL implant foundation such as Let Them Hear can play a huge role in helping kids and adults regain their sense of hearing or simply hear for the first time. Inspired by charitable business models Loud Headphones has taken it upon itself to help people give back the gift of sound. So we can sell literally everyone in the world a pair of headphones! (insert villainous laugh here) Jokes aside please take the time to listen to the NPR interview that helped spark the idea for this project. It made an impact on us and I'm sure it will on you too.

Hannity Rips "Obama-Mania Media Bias" In Fox's Coverage Of Daily Caller Heckling
Sean Hannity often [1] complains about the supposed "liberal bias [2]" of the mainstream media. He also sometimes fails to notice that his colleagues at Fox News [3] are espousing these supposed "Obama-mania" views.
On his June 18 Fox News show, Hannity hosted Daily Caller reporter Neil Munro to talk about Munro's recent heckling stunt [4] in the Rose Garden. After playing video clips showing Munro shouting questions at President Obama during his immigration policy announcement [5], Hannity said, "Now, the mainstream Obama-mania media has jumped all over Munro for daring to question the president." Watch:
Yet at least five of Hannity's fellow Fox News employees have "jumped all over Munro" for his behavior in the Rose Garden.
In fact, less than an hour before Hannity's softball interview with Munro, Fox News contributor Bernie Goldberg appeared on The O'Reilly Factor to call Munro "a jerk" and "totally unprofessional."
GOLDBERG: Listen, I would say that this reporter for the Daily Caller, in a word, is a jerk. A jerk. Totally unprofessional. I think that what's worse than what he did, even, is a smart guy like his boss, Tucker Carlson, saying, "The guy didn't do anything wrong." He gave the guy a gold star when I would have fired that reporter before he got back to the office.
BILL O'REILLY (host): Why would have you fired him?
GOLDBERG: Because it's totally unprofessional to interrupt the president of the United States in the middle of his remarks supposedly to ask a question. But it was one of those questions that he really wanted to get into the debate with the president.
At least four other Fox News personalities have called out Munro for heckling Obama. Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace [6] said on Studio B that what Munro did was "outrageous" and added, "I don't think the guy should be allowed back in the White House, you know, on a press pass."
Host Shepard Smith [7] asked Wallace, "That breaks decorum, long-standing decorum, does it not?" Later, Smith read an approving statement on the episode from Carlson. Smith said, "I'm hoping maybe Tucker didn't see it, didn't know the context, because Tucker knows better. He does. He knows better."
O'Reilly [6] has also said Munro was "absolutely wrong." From his June 15 show:
O'REILLY: Mr. Munro is absolutely wrong in interfering with the president's statement. As Talking Points always says, you must respect the office of the presidency, even if you don't like the person in it. Mr. Obama was correct in calling Munro out.
Later during the same show, Fox Business host Lou Dobbs agreed that Munro's heckling was inappropriate.
This isn't the first time Hannity has groused about "Obama-mania media bias [3]" originating from his co-workers. In April 2011, Hannity blamed the "Obama-mania media's bias" for the perception that birther stories were coming from conservatives -- just an hour before Greta Van Susteren hosted Donald Trump on Fox News to talk about Obama's birth certificate.

AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State 4-H Tech Team and some Tenacious Turtles are part of a new breed of Olympians – those who choose cyber defense, game design and robotics as their competitive venues. The two Iowa 4-H teams were among teens from across the state who recently competed in the IT-Olympics at Iowa State University.
The 2012 IT-Olympics were April 27 -28 in Hilton Coliseum. The three venues – cyber defense, game design and robotics – correspond to the educational materials and challenges the teams worked on throughout the year as teams prepared for the ultimate IT-Olympic challenge. To participate in the event, teams first had to place in IT-Adventures.
"The part that is exciting about the science and technology fields is that they are an energizing and fun way to engage people with different interests," said Jay Staker, director of Extension Science, Engineering and Technology (E-SET) youth initiative, part of ISU Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development. "There are many opportunities in these 4-H STEM programs for kids to find a fit based on their interests and to develop their skills and knowledge. It's all based on what they're interested in and what they're wired for."
Six 4-H members from Logan, Iowa joined forces to form the Harrison County 4-H Tenacious Turtles. Team members included Bruce De Witt, Austin Ettleman, Ellen McGrew, Sarah Riley, Braden Rosengren and Sarah Stueve. The team placed third overall in the robotics venue at the IT-Olympics.
"I was amazed at the creativity of the kids," said team coach David Seilstad, regional 4-H program specialist for Harrison County Extension and Outreach. "They worked together as a team with very advanced technology."
As part of the IT-Olympics challenge, the team completed a community service project. They worked with the local GPS GIS manager to map properties at the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge.
Four Iowa youth made up the Iowa State 4-H Tech Team. Team members include Alex Campbell, Ames, Kyle Clausen, Sioux Rapids, Kyle Rohlfing, Sioux Rapids and David Runneals, Nevada. The team "met" online to discuss issues of security weekly with their adviser, Iowa State 4-H Tech Team alum, Daniel Stiner.
"The team really worked well together, considering they were from all over the state," Stiner said. "The youth took the initiative with the cyber defense and did an amazing job. I was amazed at their ability and how well they did considering they met for the first time at the actual IT-Olympics."
The Iowa State Tech Team placed third overall in the cyber defense venue.
IT-Adventures is an innovative program that is dedicated to increasing interest in and awareness of applying technology and creative problem solving among high school students. The program is a partnership of Iowa State University College of Engineering, Iowa State University Information Assurance Center, Union Pacific Railroad, Principal Financial Group, Iowa Mathematics and Science Education Partnership, Technology Association of Iowa, the Iowa Chapter of InfraGard, Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC), ACT Inc., Hy-Vee, Dice Tech Job Career Hub, FBL Financial Group Inc., Internet Scale Event and Attack Generation Environment, Electronic Crime Institute at DMACC, Pearson Education Inc. and ELSEVIER Sciences and Health News.
For more information on IT-Adventures or the IT-Olympics, visit http://www.it-adventures.org. To join an Iowa IT-Adventures team, contact any local Iowa State University Extension and Outreach office.

The cashless society
01 November 2013 , 3:15 PM by Rob Minshull
We're supposed to be on the brink of the cashless society, but figures in the Reserve Bank's 2012-13 annual report show that Australia is discovering an increased appetite for $100 notes to go with our already strong level of desire for the $50.
Is our love affair with cash a sign of a booming 'black economy' or simply the result of a growth in the number of ATMs or the offer of 'cashback' in the local supermarket? And what does it say about predictions of a cashless society?
David Richardson is a Senior Research Fellow at a think tank called The Australia Institute and he's just written a report into our 'black economy'. He is talking to Katrina Davidson.

I almost never use cash - keep a couple of notes for petty purchases (fruit shop etc). $100 notes - the only ones I ever got were from Medicare, but since they've gone cashless, I haven't seen one.

I have an airbrush, and I'd like to try thinned Humbrol paint in it. Will the colours look right and dry ok? And will it be hard to clean the airbrush later?
I'm going to paint the ESB helmet, and I'm not sure if it's best to use the Humbrol paint list or the Pollyscale/MM/Floquil list.
Any advice?

But don't worry...childproofing doesn't have to be overwhelming! Begin by touring our childproofed home below for room-by-room tips and strategies. Then, view your own home from your child's perspective: crawl through the house on hands and knees in search of tempting, eye-level dangers. You may be surprised by what you find.
Finally, head over to our Safety Department for solutions. We have one of the most comprehensive, current childproofing collections around, so you can find everything you need, all in one place.
Kitchen | Living Room/Leisure Rooms | The Bathroom | Bedrooms | Nursery | Garage | Stairs
Decks | Doors | Electrical | Furniture | Windows | Toxins

text: Every so often I think of a random question from something I saw on a skating broadcast, and debate whether to post, and think, "I should just start a random questions thread," and then I don't do it. So these are just the questions I have today - I can't remember my past ones. Post answers and your own questions here! Sadly, my mind is in the gutter, so today's questions are trashy. - It was during the Grand Prix in 2006 or 2007 - Peter Carruthers was the post-skate interviewer. I remember a big to-do on FSU because he was talking to the Japanese skaters like they were infants. I think he was asking Mao Asada about what it's like to be in the media glare, and made the motion of a wind-up 35mm movie camera, clicking noises and everything. What competition was that, and can anyone find a YouTube video? I remember at the time searching for it, and I couldn't find any videos with the interview included! I want to see! - OK, same GP year, same idea, next competition. Carruthers was interviewing Oda, and someone on FSU was saying he was miming a nurse putting a thermometer into the mouth of a sick patient with an ice bag on his head because he was asking if Oda was under the weather. Seriously. Anyone? I want to see! - Wasn't there a GP competition where Evan Lysacek sliced his pants open with his blade and everyone on FSU shrieked that he wasn't wearing underwear or something? - Again, a long time ago on FSU, I think there was a thread about weird things you've seen in the background in the audience during a competition. People pointed out the guy who stood up and fell into his seat when Midori Ito hit a 3t-3t; and some European gymnastics competition where the audience background while displaying the scores had this blond lady picking something out of her hair then eating it. Am I hallucinating? And I've always wondered if on the ABC broadcast of the 1988 Olympics, when Katarina Witt takes her opening pose to Carmen, are the people sitting behind her making fun of her? - OK, random other question. Did Samuelson/Bates ever give an actual reason for splitting up? They'd been together so many years. Did he lose trust in her after the achilles slicing? - Does anyone have a better video of the Laetitia Hubert heroin addict routine? The only one I can find is really grainy and in black and white. - Is Olga Markova okay? I'm really concerned about her after that "Let My People Go" routine that's everyone's answer to everything besides "purple". Was she the subject of Hubert's routine?

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
The pump has no way of knowing whether half or overfull. As long as level never gets low enough to suck more air you should be fine. The pump will get noticeably louder when it eats air.
Lots of people have trouble and whatever trick they are working at the time is the supposed cure. The point is that air can really get chucked in there and the ONLY WAY it will EVER bleed is for all fluid to get back up into pump to be able to release its' air since air is trapped everywhere else in the system and cannot get out.
If you have more than enough fluid to fill it open and ready to go you can get someone to start car, run rack one way and then other, and you filling pump as fast as it eats. Done correctly it fills instantly with no air at all and no bleeding to be done. I do it all the time but you have to be quick about it.
I have jacked car up but actually better not to since car weight makes the torsion valve in rack open more to bleed more completely and faster. No load on that valve with car in the air..............
I installed a rebuilt rack....and was following the Ford FSM method for refilling (other than using vacuum).
Didn't work.
What does work? Fill the res up to within 1/2" of the top and turn lock to lock...let it sit a while...run at full lock (but not to the point that the pump is working hard)..let it sit.
If you never have the level above the FULL mark...it will just pump foam. As soon as I filled the res...it cleared up in under a minute. You can ALWAYS remove a little fluid....my level ended up right at the full mark.
Then...lo and behold...the next morning the level was within 1/2" of the cap...so I took some out...down to the top mark. Then I started it ...turned wheel from lock to lock 2 times or so....shut it off. Level was now down to the bottom of the res. So I added some back to the full mark. Has now stayed there for 30 miles or so.
Recommendation? Fill it up to about 1/2" below the cap and keep it there till you are sure it has stabilized. If it overflows and runs out...who cares...if it stays off the serp belt? Once you've driven it for a while and all seems well...put the level at the top mark.
|Wow.. roll back the clock to answer a thread. I wonder if the guy ever finished.
You can damage parts by leaving the steering at full lock left or right for a long period.
It's GOING TO recirculate foam, motion tends to trap air. The only way to stop it is stop engine and let foam come out in reservoir, you have to repeat since foam in the rack cannot get out until it's in the reservoir also.
Done correctly you can install fluid with almost no aeration at all. The system is almost instantly self bleeding, the trick is to get the new fluid in there quick enough so that the pump can never run out and pull air. Once pump starts whining say when you are uncapping the second bottle of fluid to put in you have already screwed up.
|You need to watch the level in the res as you run it and turn the wheel...mine only stopped foaming after I filled the res almost to the top and turned it back and forth...also let it sit idling turned all the way left and right. It was picking up and recirculating foam.
|A tip. Sometimes the air is fixed finely with the fluid itself, especially if you let it run empty for a bit. Purge the lines left/right to lock as said then let car sit 10-15 minutes for fluid in reservoir to de-aerate. You may have to do it a couple of times. Later on the noise miraculously has disappeared.
While jacking isn't REQUIRED, it makes life easier & reduces wear on the tires etc..
Since you have to turn the steering back & forth quite a few times to get most of the air out....
I just had to do this TWICE on a Chevy Monte Carlo with a damaged cooler line, once for the initial "emergency" repair & again when I replaced the damaged cooler assembly for a friend... It wasn't COMPLETELY bled till after a good test drive as well.... THAT got the last bubbles out of the system, though it was close to OK before I drove it..
Patience & a LOT more wheel twisting than you expected to need to do is the key, when it doesn't work right away it'll worry you a bit - just give it more time to circulate. The system doesn't work well at all on air, and it takes a while to get it all out...
|just turn the wheel full lock one way to full lock the other a few times. just keep an eye on the pas fluid in the reservoir. no jacking required.
|i tryied this and it still wont make my power steering stop whining

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 10099
I like it when people sew the binding together! I DON'T like it when people leave their staples open for my weary little fingers. I happened to get stabbed by one offending zine following a fair on Sunday and will not be reading that zine.
a good long arm or pamphlet stapler will be soooo worth it! even just to not go through that hell!

I just did a zine making workshop and talked for like 10 minutes about how awesome it is to actually bind your zine, and how ESSENTIAL page numbers are. I then taught everyone how to use sewing to bind their zine. Totally awesome.
Considering what has been discussed in a couple other forums, I'd say:
DO NOT forget to specify if you DO NOT want other people to give away/sell/photocopy your zine. Otherwise they may understand they can do whatever they want with it.
Hehe yeah it was a bit of a rigmarole. Is there one type that is better than another? I had a look at OfficeWorks (like Kinkos I think) and they started at $40... but to save my poor fingers I'm definitely going to get my hands on one.
Mostly I worry because kids buy my "Creatures and Dreams" one. I've put a little warning in the next issue, arrows pointing to the staples saying "be careful". I think I may have to find another way to bind those particular ones though. They have a paper doll as the centrefold, so the staples would get opened when they take it out anyway...

Good for him and his familyStill a few things strike me as odd about the story thoughBut glad all my doom and gloom predictions were incorrectkeith
One more thing to add about gators. Remember this is the Florida everglades much warmer there than where I am in Louisiana. The peak time of day there gators were most likely out sunning themselves. Some may say gators are mostly nocturnal but I have seen plenty following me around in broad day light while bow fishing from the shore. Each time I shot at a fish they were attracted to the splash and would investigate. Couldn't imagine being in the water splashing around in the everglades, that's like ringing the dinner bell....JP

I have watched them use those beagles at the San Francisco Airport when we were coming back from overseas. The little doggies would walk all around sniffing the bags that came off the conveyor belt and then they found something and just stood still. The officials pulled those suitcases off the belt. Do you have another link to the updated story??
