The goal of Little Kickers, is to use football as a fun forum to instil our growing squad with a little extra confidence, co-ordination, control and sense of camaraderie; which we feel will stand them in very good stead for the future.
A very level playing field!

The programmes we offer are:
Little Kicks
1.5 to 2 years 3 months
Setting off at a light trot, the most pressing priority here is something we refer to as "learning to learn."
Simple problem-solving activities provide the perfect informal framework for encouraging our fledgling footballers to advance their basic attention building and listening skills.
By playing fun games that include specific actions and movements children gain greater bodily control whilst simultaneously enhancing their blossoming balance, co-ordination and gross motor skills. Aside from learning how to strike stationary and moving footballs during directional play, children and parents also get the early opportunity to share those first unforgettable, goal-scoring adventures.
In essence Little Kicks provides a fun, safe learning environment where your child will be encouraged to move from parent-supported participation, to active, independent interaction.
Junior Kickers
2 years - 3.5 years
From light trot to gentle canter our budding ball maestros are now at a point where they will be encouraged to participate in structured games and imaginative free-play, adding yet another dimension to their already flourishing footwork.
In other words, basic ball mastery is harnessed via multi-directional dribbling and striking. In addition child interaction and cooperation is actively encouraged as our coaches seek to stimulate greater social skills, sharing and overall team play - giving our pre-school pupils the in-built confidence to step away from their parents/carers and stand proud on their own two trainers.
It's about now that our classes really start to have an impact on improving a child's physical dexterity, particularly in the lower limbs and feet through a variety of ball-balancing games. The arrival of these newfound skills paves the way for our pupils to learn how best to move through the gears and how to change direction comfortably with the ball at their feet.
Mighty Kickers
3.5 years to 5th birthday
With more basic options now at their disposal our next task is to couple your child's blossoming physical and social confidence with a greater grasp of how to read the beautiful game. Shielding, first touch play and defensive positioning are all classic examples of simple skills that over time will become second nature. Add to this memory improvement, problem solving and team awareness and your child will be quickly demonstrating all the hallmarks of a well-rounded individual with a wider appreciation of team play.
Irrespective of what part sport plays in your child's future, we honestly believe the capacity to participate in controlled play, to think outside the penalty box to concentrate on instructions and visually assess a game will hold them in good stead for the future.
Mega Kickers
**selected areas**
5 years to 7th birthday
There's no need to leave at 5! Megas Kickers was developed in response to popular demand ? many children who attend Little Kickers classes want to continue to build their skills ? both physical and social - once they have turned 5. The Mega Kickers philosophy is divided into 3 core areas to enable them to do just this:
1. Play: the greatest tool for development and learning is self-initiated play, which leads to excited and vigorous participation. This in turn leads to rapid improvement.
2. Practice: activities with limited touches and turns generally will have limited benefit. Activities with lots of turns and touches will facilitate greater growth at an individual rate within a group environment. Simply put, the more you do it, the better you get!
3. Understanding: within Mega Kickers classes our coaches focus not only on teaching children how to perform a skill, but also to start building an understanding of why the skill is needed.
Mega Kickers combines a series of activities that use imaginative play, familiar games, visual skill and creative participation to engage the interest of the child and makes them gain maximum enjoyment from participating.

Our 3 & 1/2 year old son absolutely loves and is so proud to attend his Little Kickers class on a Saturday at Swanbourne. A big part of his enjoyment is putting on his uniform in the morning, with his name on it. The classes are always varied and the coaches are involved, energetic and fantastic fun for the kids (thanks Jessie and Esther).
Loving little kickersBy Julie on 13/08/2014 10:18:50 PM
My son and his 4 friends absolutely love going to "soccer" every Tuesday. They have a great time and are alwasy looking forward to going along. I can see his balls skills improving all the time, but the program also really helps with focus, listening, following instructions etc in a really fun, relaxed environment.

Biology major Crutchfield tackles duckweed in senior presentation
Release Date: 6/15/2010
Clarksville, Ark. --- If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. But what about duckweed?
Taylor Crutchfield conducted her senior biology research on how the common water plant, duckweed, could be used to help purify contaminated water.
Botanically assigned to the Lemnaceae family, duckweed is the smallest flowering plant in the world. But while an individual duckweed plant may measure only a few millimeters in size, interest in the plant is growing, as more scientists seek to unlock the potential of this diminutive plant. As pointed out by John W. Cross in his book The Charms of Duckweed:
Researchers are using these fast-growing plants to study basic plant development, plant biochemistry, photosynthesis, the toxicity of hazardous substances, and much more. Genetic engineers are cloning duckweed genes and modifying duckweeds to inexpensively produce pharmaceuticals. Environmental scientists are using duckweeds to remove unwanted substances from water. Aquaculturalists find them an inexpensive feed source for fish farming.
Taylor Crutchfield, a native of Claremore, Okla., spent part of her senior year studying the plant. Her senior research project explored the potential for using duckweed to help purify contaminated water sources.
"We wanted to try different samples of contaminated water to see how well the duckweed would do in filtering the toxins out of it, as well as how much starch the plant produced," said Crutchfield. "We used effluent from catfish runoff, soybean, and rice hull, as well as runoff from a swine farm and a synthetic medium."
She said as a last minute addition they also used ordinary tap water, to see how the duckweed would thrive in that environment.
"The catfish effluent killed everything," she said. "It was too rich. But with the others – the swine, the rice hull, and the soybean - the duckweed definitely decreased nitrates and phosphates in the solution." She said the amount of starch also increased, which she had hoped for.
"It shows the potential for what's thought of as a nuisance weed to be used not only to help purify our water, but also as a fuel to help save the environment," she said.
Crutchfield believes that if duckweed-based water purification systems could be made viable on a large scale, they might also be a cheap source of bio-fuel, more profitable and easier to grow and harvest than traditional bio-fuel crops such as corn or sugar cane. Duckweed, she explained, will grow in environments that are unsuitable for other plants; they can adjust to various levels of nitrogen and ammonia; and they can be used to create a floating photogenic surface, shielding bodies of water to prevent algae growth.
Duckweed, botanically of the Lemnaceae family, are the smallest flowering plants in the world. Taylor's research measured how well the plant survived in different samples of contaminated water.*
Crutchfield, who served as Residence Hall Association president and played defender for the Eagles women's soccer team, says her future plans include the possibility of a year in Americorps – a U.S. federal government public service program in which participants gain life and job skills, such as leadership, teamwork, time-management, and hands-on experience in a field of interest. After that? She says medical school looks like a good option to her. We're betting she's right.

Re: Replace standing rigging?
Right now the replacement interval on Dux seems to be about every 8 years for the line, with no limit on the fittings (they use aluminium instead of stainless so corrosion isn't an issue).
When you first make the switch it will likely cost about the same as changing out wire, after that figure $200 every 8 years or so for new line.
Rit now I am at year 5 on my Dynex stuff, and it still looks brand new.
Re: Replace standing rigging?
Dynex Dux is not immune to UV. Colligo Marine say that it will easily last 5 years and they say this compares to a recommended interval of 8 years for steel. I can't believe very many, if any, cruisers change out their standing rigging every 8 years. Maybe circumnavigators. I think the performance gain on a 1973 Cat 27 is going to be overshadowed by the likely shorter life, and thus much higher total cost.

Re: Replace standing rigging?
Do any of your fittings look like this? .riggingonly.com/Norsemanmechanicalterminal.htm or this:riggingonly.com/stalok.htm Or this:riggingonly.com/himod.htm
If so make sure they are installed as the instructions here show, and assure the integrity of the parts(no crack or broken parts or broken strands) and you are good to go. These are stronger than swaged, and less likely to be improperly done, as you can redo a mistake without having to cut off the fitting when you make a mistake.
Re: Replace standing rigging?
With the boat home for the winter, and the mast down, I decided to get to work on replacing the standing rigging.
Wow, that turned out to be a big project. I found several things which were surprises:
1) the spreader ends were oxidized/corroded so badly, the shroud was literally "welded" in place. I think this was from the disimilar metals (aluminum spreader end caps and stainless wire). I'm guessing this was becoming a weak spot too.
2) the mast head was cracked. Still seemed strong, but glad to know it was cracked so I could replace before bad stuff happened.
3) the turnbuckle on the fore-stay was severely bent. Apparently the previous owner smacked into a dock (at low water) or something. I'm sure that big bend must have weakened the bronze turnbuckle.
4) wrapping up all the shrouds was like wresting snakes!!! ugggh.
5) the wire itself seemed to be in great shape. no kinks. no 'fishooks'.
so, now I need to make some decisions on the wire ends. I was planning to send these off to Catalina Direct and have swaged ends for the new wires. But I've been reading more about the strength of Norseman.
I would be interested in more opinions. What "ends" do you like? why?
thx, markb
Re: Replace standing rigging?
You can just about walk across Northport Harbor on Catalina's and I do not ever recall seeing one of any age with that style standing rigging on the boats above 25' ?
As far as ordering a ready made set of standing rigging without using the old stuff to get the lenths right is most likely going to be a FAIL
I have no idea what happened to my Cal 29 between 1970 and 2011 when I replaced the standing rigging BUT
The boat came with all the original paper work and ONLY the backstay and the 3/16 uppers matched the original specs everything else was kind of a mess of mismatched stuff and wrong size Clevis pins and random plain steel that somehow never fell down
|Brent Swain
Re: Replace standing rigging?
While stainless may be the best choice for coastal cruising, where metal fatigue is less of a problem, galvanized steel is a better, and far more reliable choice for long offshore voyages.
Whether copper or aluminium, nicopress sleeves are a bit too soft for standing rigging. 1x19 is a bit too smooth to get a good grip on with sleeves, 7x7 would work better with them. Industrial supplies have stainless and galv steel sleeves they put on with great pressure, for a small fee, which are far stronger and more reliable..
Re: Replace standing rigging?
Thanks for all the feedback and ideas.
Yes, it did have tape on it . . . but I unwrapped it so I could show you on the picture what I was talking about.
After I took this picture, I was inspecting the mast head the other day with a pair of binoculars and I "think" i can see some fraying on the backstay (at the masthead) too. I need to go up there this weekend (ugggh) and take a closer look. Given the unknown history & age of these parts, I'm leaning towards replacing them all.
Given the common nature of these boats, the measurements are well known and "standard". I found some pretty good prices from Catalina Direct on replacement rigging. I plan to order a full set putting on this fall so I can be sure they all fit and are good.
Re: Replace standing rigging?
With two Nicopress fittings, there is nothing wrong with it. You can actually SEE the crimps unlike any of the swageless fittings some of which have very questionable results in controlled tests. I would actually trust something like this maybe more than any of the slick swageless eyes and forks. After some research, I used Suncor swageless to replace all my rigging ends but I gotta tell you, when you tighten the things up you are really putting a lot of trust in the engineering. My second choice would be Sta-Lok. GOB magazine had a good piece on swage ends a few years back.
That wire looks corroded which should be more of a worry than the crimps. The other thing to worry about doing it that way is getting cut by the wire ends which should be wrapped with some nice white rigging tape. I use them on my main halyard shackle and wrap it tightly with tape. Actually all the wire to rope halyards use them to attach the shackle but that's flexible wire. You can buy a perfectly good hand swager for these for just a few bucks. It does the same thing as the $300.00 swager. Neither is a commercial swage press--a completely different animal. It takes a while to do them carefully by hand but it works fine. It is also a good idea to keep a bunch of crimps, some spare wire, and a small swager aboard in case you need to jury rig something.

Health Information
Gout (Holistic)Skip to the navigation
About This Condition
Check out cherries
Soothe symptoms and prevent new attacks by eating a half a pound of cherries or drinking an equivalent amount of cherry juice per day
Rest for relief
During acute attacks, rest the affected part to reduce pain and inflammation
Pass up high-purine foods
To keep uric acid levels low, eat fewer purine-containing foods, such as liver, shrimp, and dried beans and pulses
Put a limit on alcohol
To help prevent new attacks, avoid drinking more than one alcoholic beverage a day
About This Condition
Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs when crystals of uric acid accumulate in a joint, leading to the sudden development of pain and inflammation.
People with gout either overproduce uric acid or are less efficient than other people at eliminating it. The joint of the big toe is the most common site to accumulate uric acid crystals, although other joints may be affected.
The pain of gout can arise suddenly and is often very intense. The affected joint is usually red, swollen, and very tender to the touch. A low-grade fever may also be present.
Healthy Lifestyle Tips
People who are overweight or have high blood pressure are at greater risk of developing gout.1 However, weight loss should not be rapid because restriction of calories can increase uric acid levels temporarily, which may aggravate the condition.
Eating Right
The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.
|Check out cherries
Soothe symptoms and prevent new attacks by eating a half a pound of cherries or drinking an equivalent amount of cherry juice per day.
According to a 1950 study of 12 people with gout, eating one-half pound of cherries or drinking an equivalent amount of cherry juice prevented attacks of gout.2 Black, sweet yellow, and red sour cherries were all effective. Since that study, there have been many anecdotal reports of cherry juice as an effective treatment for the pain and inflammation of gout. The active ingredient in cherry juice remains unknown, but a study in healthy volunteers found that eating about half a pound of cherries per day for four weeks decreased levels of C-reactive protein (a measure of inflammation).3
|Watch what you drink
To help prevent new attacks, avoid drinking more than one alcoholic beverage a day.
Avoiding alcohol, particularly beer, or limiting alcohol intake to one drink per day or less may reduce the number of attacks of gout.4 , 5Refined sugars, including sucrose (white table sugar) and fructose (the sugar found in fruit juice), should also be restricted, because they have been reported to raise uric acid levels.[REF] In addition, consumption of large amounts of fructose or sugar-sweetened soft drinks was associated with an increased risk of gout in one study.6
|Pass up high-purine foods
To keep uric acid levels low, eat fewer purine-containing foods, such as liver, shrimp, and dried beans and pulses
Foods that are high in compounds called purines raise uric acid levels in the body and increase the risk of gout. Restricting purine intake can reduce the risk of an attack in people susceptible to gout. Foods high in purines include anchovies, bouillon, brains, broth, consommé, dried legumes, goose, gravy, heart, herring, kidneys, liver, mackerel, meat extracts, mincemeat, mussels, partridge, fish roe, sardines, scallops, shrimp, sweetbreads, baker's yeast, brewer's yeast , and yeast extracts (e.g., Marmite, Vegemite).
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by some in the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
3 Stars Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
2 Stars Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
1 Star For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
2 Stars
Vitamin C
0.5 to 8 grams daily
Supplementing with vitamin C might reduce the risk of gout attacks, as it appears to help reduce uric acid levels.
In one small study, people who took 4 grams of vitamin C (but not lower amounts) had an increase in urinary excretion of uric acid within a few hours, and those who took 8 grams of vitamin C per day for several days had a reduction in serum uric acid levels.7 Thus, supplemental vitamin C could, in theory, reduce the risk of gout attacks. However, the authors of this study warned that taking large amounts of vitamin C could also trigger an acute attack of gout by abruptly changing uric acid levels in the body. Another study showed that taking lower amounts of vitamin C (500 mg per day) for two months significantly reduced blood levels of uric acid, especially in people whose initial uric acid levels were elevated.8 For people with a history of gout attacks, it seems reasonable to begin vitamin C supplementation at 500 mg per day, and to increase the amount gradually if uric acid levels do not decrease.

In test tube studies, quercetin, a flavonoid, has inhibited an enzyme involved in the development of gout.
In test tube studies, quercetin , a flavonoid , has inhibited an enzyme involved in the development of gout.9 , 10 However, it is not known whether taking quercetin by mouth can produce high enough quercetin concentrations in the body to achieve these effects. Although human research is lacking, some doctors recommend 150-250 mg of quercetin three times per day (taken between meals).

Eat, Drink, Play: Explore Breckenridge's hidden art scene
February 19, 2012
Breckenridge is recognized nationally first as a ski destination and second as a historic mining town that has retained much of its Victorian charm.
But to pigeonhole Breck as a relic of the old west or a snow-sports resort would be a mistake.
Inserted between historic buildings and ski-apparel shops, is a well-established arts district of nearly a dozen galleries and studios.
Concentrated in the core of downtown Breckenridge, the arts district is essentially designed to be toured like a museum spread out across a Victorian town. So much so, that the second Saturday of every month, the town and galleries host an "art walk" inviting people, prospective buyers and admirers alike, to stroll up or down Main Street, visiting each gallery and meeting with artists (who often do live demonstrations) and owners.
For those who can't make it to the second-Saturday art walk, the tour can be taken individually.
Breckenridge relaxes in the afternoons, when the lifts shut down, and an apres, no-where-to-be atmosphere prime for taking time – between cocktails or cups of hot chocolate – to pick through the town's surprisingly rich art scene.
Each gallery is different, surviving in such a small market, by finding and knowing its niche. The artwork sold on Main Street is varied enough to interest buyers of almost any taste, while the inventory is big enough to keep those who would rather look than purchase busy for a while.
An art tour of Breckenridge should start, like the second-Saturday walk, on the south end of town, near Peak 9 with Breckenridge Fine Art and Arts Alive!
Breckenridge Fine Art, one of the earliest galleries in town, is primarily an impressionist gallery that strives for the quality and atmosphere of a museum. Specializing in oils and sculptures, many of which are florals and landscapes, the gallery is almost overwhelming in its selection, which covers every wall from floor to ceiling. The atmosphere invites a serious collector for those interested in buying.
Arts Alive! on the other hand, is a cooperative, featuring the work of 40 local artists. The work, while spanning almost every medium and style, is across the board, heavily influenced by the Colorado mountain landscape. Arts Alive! features a lower-price range than many of its neighboring galleries and the collection includes everything from oils and photography to jewelry and glassware.
Nearby, up a level from Main Street, is the Fox Ridge Fine Art Glass Gallery. Those planning to look, but not buy, face the strongest temptation in Fox Ridge. The gallery is a bright, interesting space, featuring only the work of American and, primarily, Colorado artists. The collection is both ornamental and functional, delicate and bold, but generally colorful and fun.
Further down Main Street, art tourists will find Gary Soles Gallery, a collection of wilderness photography, Art on a Whim, a fine art retailer that specializes in silly, humorous or whimsical work and several others.
Second Saturday Gallery Walks run 4-8 p.m., but individual gallery hours vary.

It seems a contingent of wooters annually go to the Petite Syrah tasting "Dark and Delicious" every year in February. So on the Sunday following the event, we along with our neighbor across Fulton Lane, David Fulton Winery, would like to invite the wooters in for fun and wine tasting. This year we have gone all out.
The event will start at 11:00 AM and go to 5:00 PM on Sunday the 20th of February.
Address: 830 Fulton Lane, St. Helena, CA 94574
RSVP by February 11 via phone to: 707-968-9575
Cost is $20 per person, unless you were one of the fortunate ones to have received one of the 30 "Golden Tickets" in the December case Woot offering. The $20 entry fee can be applied to a six bottle purchase of wine during the event.
My longtime friend and Master Chef Dean Weitz will be cooking up a storm throughout the event.
California State Fair Chief Judge Pooch Pucilowski will be conducting wine judging tests. This wine judging test is a mini version of the test I took to become a judge for the California State Fair Wine Competition back in 1980. I have been a judge ever since. The judging will be conducted every one and a half hours staring at 11:30 AM. So test will start at 11:30 AM, 1:00 PM, 2:30 PM and 4:00 PM. There is room for 12 people per time slot. If you want to participate, you need to call us here at the winery, 707 968-9575 and book a slot. First come, first served. From all those who pass the test, one will be drawn from the hat to judge as a guest judge on my judging panel at the California State Fair Wine Competition to be held this year on Wednesday June the 1st. Check out some previous years' California State Fair Wine Competition results to get yourself in the mood.
In addition, Pooch is running another competition called the Consumer Wine Awards. He will make the Consumer Wine Awards survey available for those people interested in judging at the Consumer Wine Awards Competition. This survey is also available online at ConsumerWineAwards.com.
We will also be hosting a "Guess the Vintage" tasting and a "Guess the Variety" tasting with prizes and discounts for the winners.
The wine cellar will be set up for a "Bring your own Cigar" tasting where the Angel Ice and Forte will be available for you to pair with your favorite cigar.
Remember to RSVP at 707 968-9575 by February 11th. This invitation is only open to Wooters at this time and will be open to everyone after the 11th. Look forward to seeing you there!

Arsenal travel to the Etihad Stadium to face champions Manchester City on Sunday, and look decent value at 7/2 to win the game.
City have won 20 of their last 21 league home games, but come into the game on the back of a 3-2 Champions League defeat against Real Madrid, where they conceded twice in the last 10 minutes.
Arsenal have only conceded once in the league so far, and have scored 10 goals in their last three matches.
Both Lukas Podolski and Gervinho have scored in their last two appearances. Podolski is 8/1 to score the opening goal, while Gervinho can be backed at 10/1.
The league games between the sides were tight last season, with each team recording a 1-0 home victory.
GunnersGaming offer 10/1 that Arsenal win 1-0, while under 2.5 goals can be backed at 11/10 in what could well turn out to be a tactical and close fought affair.

FreeBSD and OpenBSD are increasingly gaining traction in educational institutions, non-profits, and corporations worldwide because they provide significant security advantages over Linux. Although a lot can be said for the robustness, clean organization, and stability of the BSD operating systems, security is one of the main reasons system administrators use these two platforms.There are plenty of books to help you get a FreeBSD or OpenBSD system off the ground, and all of them touch on security to some extent, usually dedicating a chapter to the subject. But, as security is commonly named as the key concern for today's system administrators, a single chapter on the subject can't provide the depth of information you need to keep your systems secure.FreeBSD and OpenBSD are rife with security "building blocks" that you can put to use, and Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security shows you how. Both operating systems have kernel options and filesystem features that go well beyond traditional Unix permissions and controls. This power and flexibility is valuable, but the colossal range of possibilities need to be tackled one step at a time. This book walks you through the installation of a hardened operating system, the installation and configuration of critical services, and ongoing maintenance of your FreeBSD and OpenBSD systems.Using an application-specific approach that builds on your existing knowledge, the book provides sound technical information on FreeBSD and Open-BSD security with plenty of real-world examples to help you configure and deploy a secure system. By imparting a solid technical foundation as well as practical know-how, it enables administrators to push their server's security to the next level. Even administrators in other environments--like Linux and Solaris--can find useful paradigms to emulate.Written by security professionals with two decades of operating system experience, Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security features broad and deep explanations of how how to secure your most critical systems. Where other books on BSD systems help you achieve functionality, this book will help you more thoroughly secure your deployments.

For example, fencers entertained Pharaohs in ancient Engypt. The Greeks and Romans, meanwhile, had systems of martial arts that included swordsmanship. The modern sport of fencing originated in the first Olympic Games, in 1896, and consists of three different weapons: foil, épée, and sabre. The lightest of these weapons is the foil. A foil fencer can only score hits by landing thrusts to the trunk of the body. A modern electrical scoring apparatus,worn by the fencer, will record a hit for any blow landed with a force of at least 4.90 newtons. Less flexible and heavier than the foil, the épée usually has a large hand guard. This bell-shaped guard is important because the épée fencer is not as limited in her targets--the entire body, including the hand, is considered a valid target to score hits. An épée fencer registers a hit with 7.35 newtons of force. The sabre differs from these first two swords in that it is an edge, rather than a point, weapon. A sabre fencer may land points to any part of the upper body (head, torso, and arms). A touch with the point, flat, or edge of the sword will register a hit.

Congrats on a much needed *BSD security book
By Lloyd R.
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security:
Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD SecurityBy Yanek Korff, Paco Hope, Bruce PotterFirst Edition March 2005 ISBN: 0-596-00626-8464 pages, $49.95 UShttp://www.oreilly.com/catalog/mfreeopenbsd/This book has been long awaited as the *BSD community has been lacking the number of security geared books compared to the Linux and Windows communities. I found that this book is almost the equal of "Linux Server Security", but for OpenBSD and FreeBSD. With OpenBSD being said to be one of the most secure operating systems, you would think there would be more books about the security other than the normal online documentation. I'm glad O'Reilly finally put out this book as it covers a broad area of security within OpenBSD and FreeBSD. This covers *BSD basics, initial install and hardening of the specific OS, security practices, running secure servers (DNS, Mail, Web), firewall, intrusion detection, system audits, incident response, and forensics. This is a broad coverage of security, but I wish on some of the specifics they would have went into detail discussing.Some points I wish were added in detail was coverage on OpenNTPD's security and/or atleast mentioning that it is contained within OpenBSD. Another would be more coverage of Qmail on FreeBSD/OpenBSD as there really wasn't much more than a mention of Qmail and basic information. Compared to the details given to Sendmail and Postfix, Qmail info was really slacking. The last point I would like to mention that I found lacking was possibly a more in-depth guide to CARP and what it's capable of doing. The main thing dealing with CARP that I would have liked to see would be about load balancing firewalls using CARP and PFSYNC.Other than these few minor lacking areas, I found this book to be great addition to other security books based around general Linux and BSD servers. I almost wish this book would have waited a little while longer before releasing or hope they plan an update soon as OpenBSD 3.7 is scheduled for release on May 19th and this book mainly just covers versions 3.5/3.6 for OpenBSD. Along with the new version of OpenBSD releasing, FreeBSD 5.4 was released not long after this book was published. Even lacking the parts that it does, I enjoyed reading the sections about DJBDNS comparison to BIND with details of the specifics. On top of this, there is enough information to get anyone with general *nix knowledge going with a OpenBSD/FreeBSD firewall or secure server. By no means is this book the answer to first time OpenBSD/FreeBSD system administrators to learn the basics from, but seems to be more geared for those atleast somewhat familiar with the *BSD feel of things and aware of what's going on inside their machine. In the beginning of the book it mentions this book was written "by system administrators for system administrators". For someone just getting started with OpenBSD I'd recommend this book, but also would recommend picking up Absolute OpenBSD (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/1886411999/) for more coverage of the basics. Otherwise, it will be difficult picking up on what they are saying in this book. Also, on the FreeBSD side of things I'd recommend Absolute BSD (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/1886411743/index.html) or The Complete FreeBSD (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/cfreebsd/index.html). If your new to *BSD this book will help but a book to compliment it will help even more. Atleast once you learn the basics, you will get a detailed bit of information on securing your new *BSD box. I believe the writers met their goal of creating a book to solely cover the security features of OpenBSD and FreeBSD aswell as the types of servers run on those platforms. I'm glad this book arrived and look forward to seeing if they release a 2nd edition that is updated and possibly covers the parts that seem to be missing or lacking in detail. Congrats to O'Reilly and the writers.Lloyd RandallPensacola Linux User's Group

Somali Islamists who were driven from power two years ago, made clear to the people of Somalia they had not budged from their medieval views by stoning to death a woman who was charged with adultery. The 23 year-old woman, wearing a green veil and black mask, was placed in a hole up to her neck as hundreds watched in a square in the southern port of Kismayu which Islamist forces had captured last summer. Stones were hurled at her head until she died. Some of her relatives at one point surged forward and guards fired at them and in the process killed a child.
A local resident said the Islamists claimed she had willingly submitted herself to their judgement, but witnesses said she was screaming when she arrived at the execution site. Her sister was furious saying, "the stoning was totally irreligious and illogical. Islam does not execute a woman for adultery unless four witnesses and the man with whom she committed sex are brought forward publicly."
There are no reports of any man being brought forward or executed. Medieval minds carried out their brutality and broke their own religious laws.

When The Super Bowl Meets Music It's Not Pretty
Sometimes when someone is a good singer, people ask them if they'd like to be an actor. That doesn't always spell box office gold. Even less often, does success in music come following success in sports. I don't know why anyone would even assume a star quarterback could carry a tune, but it has happened, much to the chagrin of my ears, more times than I'd like to admit.

Today, telecommunications costs have become the largest drain on most IT budgets. But the expense of mobile devices alone is not the driving force behind this increase. Many older devices go unused, yet continue to be included on plan activations. The use of multiple carriers blocks the ability to leverage more cost-effective rates. Immature lifecycle management processes hinder accurate asset tracking, leading to inefficient resource allocation and productivity issues.
Attend this webinar to learn how to:
- Assess your current mobility management efforts
- Develop a cohesive plan for lifecycle management
- Adjust to future changes in mobile markets and technologies
Register for this webinar to learn how to tame this challenging frontier of mobile telecom and bring improved uniformity and cost management to your business and budgets.

Eames Molded Wood Side Chair, Herman Miller
When Charles and Ray Eames introduced the Eames molded plastic side chair in the mid-20th century, plastic was the only viable choice for mass production due to the complexity of the chair's curves. Three-dimensional technology that gives wood veneer more flexibility has allowed Herman Miller to re-release the chair in molded wood. The chair comes in santos palisander, white ash, and walnut. Dowel- and four-leg base options are available. hermanmiller.com
Motion 1, Interlam
Motion 1 from Interlam is manufactured by applying natural wood, reconstituted Alpi veneers, melamine, or paintable melamine surfaces to MDF substrates to create depth and texture. Applications include furniture, wall paneling, and entrance, kitchen, or wardrobe doors. Motion 1 is available in three thicknesses: 1-1/5mm, 4mm, and 19mm. interlam-design.com
Charcoal Walnut, Terra Legno
Engineered wood flooring was once offered in a limited number of wood species, but the durable flooring option has come a long way in terms of style. Charcoal walnut, part of Terra Legno's Annoso Collection, is manufactured through a process that uses younger and smaller trees rather than old-growth hardwoods. The 5"-wide, 9/16"-thick planks have an oil finish. terralegno.comweaetxdyvaydzcwq
Porch Flooring, Perennial Wood
The look of wood is timeless, and Perennial Wood's proprietary TruLast Technology improves the durability and longevity of real wood by transforming it at the molecular level. The company's porch flooring line offers tongue-and-groove installation, and comes in three uncoated profiles: 3/4" by 3-1/8", 7/8" by 3-1/8", and 7/8" by 4-7/8" finished face. The first two come in 8', 10', and 12' lengths, while the latter comes in 8' and 10' lengths. perennialwood.com
C-range, Urban Front
Urban Front launched C-range in a limited number of designs (terano shown) and woods (European oak and American black walnut) to cater to developers and contractors who wanted a simplified ordering process. The 78mm-thick door comes with weatherseal on all four edges of the frame and sill. Urban Front offers wood options that are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, that have Pan-European Forest Certification, or that comply with the Timber Trade Federation guidelines for responsible purchasing of timber. urbanfront.co.uk
Campground Blue Pine, Sustainable Northwest Wood
Throughout the American West, more than 150 million acres of forest have been destroyed by the Mountain Pine Beetle, a species that is native to America, but whose population has reached unprecedented levels due to poor forest management and warmer temperatures. Wood from infected trees develops a distinctive blue stain. Sustainable Northwest Wood salvages this wood from parks and campgrounds to mill flooring, paneling, and other interior finish materials. snwwood.com

The Canisius baseball team scored four runs in the top of the ninth for a 7-5 come-from-behind win on Sunday afternoon to complete a weekend sweep at Quinnipiac University. The Golden Griffins have now won a season-high nine straight games and improve to 31-14 overall.
Canisius also improves to 14-4 in MAAC play, taking over first place in the conference standings and also clinching a berth in the MAAC Championship (May 21-25 in Lakewood, N.J). for the eighth consecutive season.
Quinnipiac scored single runs in the seventh and eighth innings to turn a 3-2 deficit into a 4-3 lead heading into the ninth inning. The ninth-inning rally started with a four-pitch walk to freshman Christ Conley. Freshman Jake Lumley laid down a sacrifice bunt that advanced pinch runner Mike Krische to second base. Krische would steal third base to get 90 feet away with one out in the ninth. Senior Jose Torralba worked a walk, with the fourth ball getting away from the catcher and Krische tying the game on the wild pitch. A walk to pinch hitter Shane Zimmer loaded the bases with one out.
Siddall sent a grounder to the hole on the right side of the infield, with the infield single allowing all runners to be safe and putting the Griffs in the lead. A four-pitch walk to Panas put the Griffs up 6-4 and chased Quinnipiac closer Gary Binkiewicz. Another infield single, this one from sophomore Anthony Massicci, scored another run and put the Griffs up by three.
Sophomore Iannick Remillard picked up the win after allowing the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth. Remillard struck out four batters in 1.2 innings of work. Junior Devon Stewart allowed two runs in a three-inning start. Junior Brandon Bielecki allowed one unearned run in 3.2 innings while junior Eric Stolzenburg allowed one run in 0.2 innings.
After Quinnipiac (15-24, 10-6 MAAC) took the lead in the bottom of the first with a two-run homer, the Griffs answered in the next inning. Sophomore Brett Siddall worked a leadoff walk, and junior Connor Panas hit his second two-run homer of the weekend and tied the game at 2-2.
Panas hit his second homer of the day in the sixth, giving Canisius its first lead of the game at 3-2. The Bobcats had the leadoff batter reach in the seventh, and Mike Palladino laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance Nic Civale to second. Civale took a hard turn around second base and got caught in a rundown for the second out of the inning. The Bobcats were able to tie the game on a dropped fly ball by Siddall in the seventh for what would have been the third out of the inning.
Panas went 3-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored and was 8-for-11 with 10 RBI and three homers in the three-game series. Massicci went 2-for-3 while senior Jesse Kelso was 2-for-4 with a walk.
After final exams, Canisius will play its final road MAAC series of the 2014 season next weekend at rival Niagara University. First pitch for Saturday's doubleheader is set for 9 a.m.
Notes: Canisius won in its last at-bat for the seventh time in 2014... Stewart's start of three innings ended a streak of 18 consecutive starts by the Canisius weekend starting pitchers of six innings or more… Panas is the second Golden Griffin to hit a home run in back-to-back games this year, joining Siddall who accomplished the feat in early March… The nine-game winning streak is the longest since a program-record 11-game winning streak last season… Canisius now has 19 road wins on the season and 44 road wins in the last two seasons… Canisius only hit .258 on the weekend but worked 19 walks in the three games. The Griffs drew nine walks on Sunday, matching a season high… Quinnipiac had the leadoff batter reach in 13 of 25 innings but only hit .120 (3-for-25) with runners in scoring position.

Unlocking your Nokia 1800 has never been easier! That's right - you're FREE, your unlocked handset will accept any SIM card from ANY provider worldwide! You're just 30 seconds away from freedom.
We guarantee it. Our Nokia 1800 unlocking process is safe and 100% money-back guaranteed. Your Nokia 1800 will not be damaged in any way through this process. So how do you unlock your Nokia 1800? It's as easy as texting a friend! We'll provide you step-by-step instructions on how to unlock your handset, as well as an unlock code straight from the manufacturer.
To GET STARTED: Select the original carrier of your Nokia 1800 from the list below to start unlocking your phone.
Does your Nokia 1800 work only with France - Bouygues Telecom or, when you insert a SIM Card from another service provider, do you see any of the following messages?
If so, your France - Bouygues Telecom Nokia 1800 is LOCKED and we can help you remove this lock on your Nokia 1800 in a few simple steps, allowing you to use your phone on any GSM wireless network on any GSM wireless network anywhere in the world.
You will not have to mail in your France - Bouygues Telecom Nokia 1800. No Hardware or Software required. No technical knowledge required at all. Simply provide us your Nokia 1800s IMEI number and we do all the rest.
Three Simple Steps
Reasons to remote unlock your cell phone
All our Unlock CODES are 100% genuine and guaranteed, if for any reason your unlock codes are not found in our database then we will issue a full refund.
Why my Nokia 1800 is locked?
When you purchase a cell phone it is often offered at a discounted price by the cellular network. In return for this generosity they "lock" your Nokia 1800 to their network, so that you can only use their network for making and receiving calls. This means that you cannot use the SIM card of another network, and if you try to do so the phone will display "Phone Restricted", Contact Service Provider, Enter Unlock Code or a similar message. Unlocking the phone removes this lock, allowing you to use your Nokia 1800 on any GSM wireless network anywhere in the world.
Why should I unlock my Nokia 1800?
Will I have to unlock my Nokia 1800 every time I change SIM Card?
No, even if you upgrade the software (flash) or hard reset your Nokia 1800, it remains permanently unlocked, no matter what you do to it.
What is a SIM Card?
A SIM card or Subscriber Identity Module is a portable memory chip used in GSM phones. The SIM Card allows users to change phones by simply removing the SIM Card from one cell phone and inserting it into another. The SIM holds personal identity information, cell phone number, phone book, text messages and other data.
How does the remote unlocking work?
Upon successful order submission, we will process your Nokia 1800's unique IMEI number and email back an unlock code.
What does IMEI mean?
The International Mobile Equipment Identity or IMEI is a 15 digit serial number unique to every GSM cell phone. We generate the unlocking code from the IMEI, this is called remote unlocking.
How to get the IMEI#?
Enter *#06# into your phone to retrieve the unique 15 digit IMEI number. It can also be found printed on the back of the phone underneath the battery.
Is cable and software required?
No software or cable is required at all.
How do I enter the unlock code?
It is very easy to enter the unlock code. Instructions will be provided.
How Safe is it and is it guaranteed to Work?
Removing the network restriction on your Nokia 1800 with unlocking codes is the safest and fastest way to unlock a cell phone. There is absolutely no risk of damaging your Nokia 1800 or void warranty. You simply enter the unlock codes directly into your Nokia 1800 via the Nokia 1800s keypad to remove the network restriction. We guarantee it to work or your money back.
Is cell phone unlocking legal?Yes is legal. On November 26, 2006, the U.S. Copyright Office ruled that consumers can legally unlock their cell phones in order to use them with rival carriers. Some times you might be able to ask your network to provide you with an unlock code. However, they will only do this for free if you have completed your contract. Obviously most networks don't want you moving away from their network so they will often charge extortionate rates to unlock your Nokia 1800 and you can also be made to wait up to 3 weeks to receive your unlock codes.
