This is a beautiful fan. The lace looks and feels hand crocheted. It is large, sturdy, and well made. The only thing I wish is that the lace covered both sides of the fan. One side is lace, and the back is fine netting. It looks nice from both sides, but like I said, I wish they were both lace, but for a costume piece, and for the price, it is perfect for my needs.

Memories of Amlwch
Borth Amlwch
I am now in my mid 80's. I lived in Borth from the age of about three until eleven years at 23 Well St (Lon Wen). This was during the days of the depression and conditions in the port were grim. Many of the men had joined the whaling fleets and as they sailed past North Anglesey from Liverpool the families would gather on Llam ...Read full memory
Liverpool Pilots
Fond memories of going to Amlwch Port to play as children and walking along Llancarw to Llaneilian with two or three younger children tagging along with us, and waving to the pilots as they moored outside Almwch Port.

Neighborhood reacts to explosion in suspected drug making operation
HAMILTON, Mont. - An explosion that seriously burned a teenager in a suspected drug manufacturing explosion in Hamilton has police urging parents to be vigilant of what their kids are doing.
The 17-year-old boy injured in Tuesday's explosion is at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Police suspect the boy and another man of manufacturing drugs.
It's the second serious crime on Hamilton's south end this year.
"I think that drugs are getting pretty bad in this town," said Hamilton resident Charles Turley. "I'd like to see something done about it."
The explosion follows on the heels of a beating death in the neighborhood last winter. The accused in that case had histories of alleged drug use.
Tuesday's explosion not only put a boy in the hospital but it also burned suspect Howard Matthew Wease. He was arraigned on felony drug charges at the hospital.
"The 25-year-old suspect has been released, but he is on electronic monitoring," said Hamilton Police Sergeant Bob Liercke.
A police report said there were cans of butane in the residence, home made pipes and marijuana.
Investigators said the teen and Wease were making hash oil from marijuana. It's a regional trend, gleaning a more concentrated, potent drug from the plant.
"I think the trend is serious," said Liercke. "Obviously from the oil itself, in consuming it is very dangerous, very addicting."
Liercke said there are videos online that show how to make hash oil. He said parents should be aware of them.
They tell you how to do it, said the police officer. "But they're even putting disclaimers that its very dangerous."

A new alliance between Christian and Muslim teachers… According to some professors who teach students biology or natural sciences, these [Darwin's claims] are all lies, and are unworthy of being taught: They believe in creation and that the origins of human life lie not in orangutans, but in an infinite, Divine power, and that is what they teach their students… In their view [those teachers who oppose evolution], Adnan Oktar, also known as Harun Yahya, is right. Harun Yahya is the Turkish author of The Evolution Deceit, which brands Darwin's evolutionism as "a dishonest philosophy that has enslaved thousands of people," Atlas of Creation, and some 200 other books and booklets.
... (Yahya) has followers in a great many countries. In a campaign against evolutionism he initiated towards the end of the 1990s, thousands of pamphlets and books were distributed in Turkey setting out the thesis that it was a doctrine responsible for Nazism, historical materialism, Stalinist communism, assimilation and other catastrophes. Then, as now, Yahya found an audience in certain universities. Among his opinions is the idea that "The fossil record is perhaps the most important evidence in the demolition of the claims of the theory of evolution, because fossils reveal that all the diversity of life on Earth has never changed at all and that life forms are not descended from one another." In conclusion, this is an "indisputable fact" for the Turkish author, who goes on to say: "Living things did not develop by means of any imaginary evolutionary process. Every life form was created by God, with no forerunner preceding it."

photo to canvas
At Photo Canvas Printing we transform your favourite photos into a work of art by printing them directly onto high quality real fibre artist cotton canvas. The canvas prints are then stretched over a tough wooden strainer frame which is handmade in the UK to suit your image. By individually custom making our frames to the size of your picture we avoid cropping and potentially spoiling the final product.
We achieve the high quality vibrant canvas prints from your photo by using a six-colour UV true pigment ink system, which provides long-lasting lightfast canvas prints. In addition to this we also apply a fine matt laminate to our canvas prints to provide a protective coating that is resistant to scratching and spillages, it also contains a UV filter for increased UV protection to prevent your photo canvas print from fading.
When youre ready to order your canvas prints, our easy-to-use website will guide you through step-by-step. First, choose the size of the canvas print you want. Then select any customisable options, such as whether you want canvas or wooden sides, and whether youd like any effects or image enhancements. Then let us know how youre going to send us your image. If its on your computer, you can attach it straight away. If its a photograph, negative, slide, transparency or a painting or illustration

One of the most common uses for canvas is in the creation of works of art in the medium of painting. Canvas has a way of maintaining clarity of color and form that is not always possible with other types of fabrics. The durable nature of canvas also makes it ideal stretching over a canvas frame until the material is secure and taut. With a secure and receptive surface to work with, the artist can allow the fruits of his or her imagination appear in tangible detail for all to see and enjoy.

I know many good websites that provide photo canvas and Photo frames. As I am a photographer, I am very interested in frames and canvas. I recently bought some really good vintage Photo frames from an online website. These frames are just awesome and perfect combination of ancient art and modern touch.

Last week Forrester published a report on the state of online retail in Canada. We surveyed 1,103 adult online shoppers in Canada to understand what challenges the Canadian public face when shopping online. We found that Canadian online shoppers have many complaints; among them high shipping costs and lackluster product assortments. Furthermore, Canadian online shoppers are acutely aware of the gap between the online experiences of domestic sites versus those in the US. Canadian sites are missing key online capabilities like free shipping, flexible pickup options, a stress-free return policy, and omnichannel payment options in addition to the obvious price discrepancies.
Some of the reports highlights include the following facts:

Movie goers made it a tight race for top spot at the box office, giving a slight edge to "A Good Day to Die Hard" for the weekend of February 15-17, 2013.
The Bruce Willis action thriller grabbed $7.6 million on Friday, raked in a hefty $24.9 million for the holiday weekend.
Despite the Northeast blizzard, movie-goers flocked to the box office, handing "Identity Thief" the top spot for the weekend of February 8-10, 2013.
The Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman-fronted comedy took in an impressive $36 million for its opening week in theaters.
In another slow movie going weekend, "Warm Bodies" nabbed the top spot at the box office for February 1-3, 2013.
The Nicholas Hoult fronted zombie thriller raked in $5.9 million on Friday and ended its debut weekend with a $18 million total.
Taking care of some promotional duties, Nicholas Hoult & Teresa Palmer headed over to London's SoHo Hotel for the "Warm Bodies" photocall today (January 18).
The "Clash of the Titans" stud (who also used to date Jennifer Lawrence) and his "I Am Number Four" cohort posed for the shutterbugs against a backdrop of zombies ahead of the film's February 1st street date.
It doesn't hit theaters until February 1st, 2013, but "Warm Bodies" has offered fans a free look at the film's first four minutes.
The Summit Entertainment flick is based on Isaac Marion's novel and was directed by "50/50" helmsman Jonathan Levine.

Man injured in fall from Fla. parking garage
Published: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 9:31 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 9:31 a.m.
MADEIRA BEACH — A 31-year-old man was injured when he fell from the roof of a parking garage in Madeira Beach.
Pinellas County Sheriff's deputies say Nicholas Voutsinas and a friend wanted to get a better view of the city early Friday morning. So they climbed to a restricted area on the roof of the garage.
The friend told deputies he decided to go downstairs, but Voutsinas decided to stay behind.
Deputies say that by the time the friend reached the ground floor, Voutsinas was unconscious in the road. He was taken to Bayfront Medical Center. Deputies say he had fractures to the face, leg and pelvis and was in serious condition.
Authorities don't know whether the man fell or jumped from the garage. An investigation continues.

Where the things you craft actually mean something to the economy and is deeper than the plain click a button and make 20 copies of the same items using a recipe? I'm searching for a game that hopefully has deep crafting. I actually liked Mortal Online's crafting, where it is totally free form and you can choose any material into the slots, so there are no recipes because you make them yourself. But I'm not sure if I liked the rest of the game so much. Is there any other games with similar crafting? What is your favorite crafting system?

James Island Council set to vote on Harbor View Road project
Proposed Roundabout at Harbor View Road and Fort Johnson Road
Thursday James Island town leaders will tackle the Harbor View Road project. Plans to modify the road started in 2006, but it's been debated and even the source of a lawsuit over the last seven years. Council is expected to vote on the current plans Thursday, which the mayor expects will pass.
Under the new proposal, the intersection at Harbor View and Fort Johnson Roads will be turned into a roundabout. One issue with previous plans was closing off Sterling Drive where it connects to Harbor View. The new modifications incorporate the road into the design of the roundabout. Some of the other modifications include additional cross walks across Harbor View Road from the surrounding neighborhoods to shopping centers; turning lanes; additional traffic signals at busy intersections; and better walking and biking paths along the two mile stretch between North Shore Drive and Fort Johnson Road.
Construction could start Spring of 2014. Charleston County will request municipal consent for the Harbor View Road Improvements project from the city of Charleston on July 16 and from the town of James Island Thursday night.

Eaton makes a good posi unit. Use a 3-series posi carrier with the 3.73 gears. If you plan on driving it on the street, get Moser's C-clip-type axles. C-clip eliminators are leaky, and the Moser guy I talked to said they won't break nearly as easily as stocker. A rear end girdle such as TA Performance's TA-1807 would also help keep it together.
Weld the axle tubes to the center section, all the way around. They're just pressed in, and they'll slip around and cause leaks and all kinds of squirrelly stuff if you hit them with any kind of sudden load. Be sure anything welded to the axle tubes by the factory is FULLY welded and not just tacked here and there.
Operator education: avoid neutral drops or clutch side-steppage.

CORNWALL BRIDGE >> The corner of 7th Street and 3rd Avenue in Manhattan isn't anything like the intersection of Rt. 7 and Rt. 4 in Cornwall Bridge.
Which is why Brendan Irving sought refuge here, at the latter, to escape the chaos of the former in the East Village in the wake of the destruction caused by Superstorm Sandy.
Irving was among a group of 17 friends who fled storm-ravaged New York City in rented cars and found peace and tranquility in the rolling hills of Litchfield County, swarming the Cornwall General Store as they arrived.
"This is the life," exclaimed Fritz Ravanes, a 34-year-old financial analyst from Queens, as he swayed back-and-forth in one of the rocking chairs on the general store's front porch.
"We've been locked up in our apartments all week," explained Caroline Leslie, 42, a performance artist from Brooklyn. "It's beautiful here, like a mini-vacation."
But it wasn't a vacation for Irving in Manhattan during the storm.
"The first night of the storm [Monday] I heard gunshots, it was bad," said Irving, a 30-year-old mustachioed actor, as he sat amongst the bunch eating sandwiches and chomping potato chips.
By Tuesday, the second night, "it was dark and scary" because the electricity was knocked out, Irving said.
"Everyone was walking around aimlessly," he continued. "It was like a [scene from a] zombie movie, except they weren't after brains, they were hunting for food."
While Cornwall and the surrounding area is known as a weekend getaway for New Yorkers and other urban dwellers seeking solace in the quaint countryside, this week it's been the destination point for more than people who own second, or vacation, homes here.
"We've seen a lot of new faces this week, a lot of strangers," said Louise Coogan-Beecher, who owns the general store - a gathering place for locals and weekend regulars - with her husband, Dana Beecher.
"People are happy to find some hot soup and the lights on."
The crowds at the general store having been streaming in all week from as far away as Jersey City, Coogan-Beecher said. "They all have battle stories about waiting for gasoline," she added.
While the couple had seen some groups of travelers visit the store in search of food, money, warmth - anything - they hadn't seen such a large gang as the one that stormed inside Friday afternoon.
"Whew. That was crazy," Cooger-Beecher said right after they left.
Not that she was complaining, for the increased numbers of shoppers translate to increased profits.
"We're so fortunate that we didn't lose power," said Dana Beecher, 62. "Last year [during the heavy October snowfall] we lost power, and it would've killed us if we lost power this year."
Brittany Anderson, 21, of Sharon, who works the counter at the deli, said "you got to remain calm" when there is such a "huge rush."
She said Friday had been the busiest - or "craziest" - day by far.
"Everybody wiped us clean," Anderson said, noting that there were no more hard rolls, subway buns or meatballs.
The group fleeing New York couldn't have been more thankful - not only for the delicatessens, but also for the down home country hospitality.
"Everything''s been great, we really appreciate it," said Leslie, the Brooklyn artist.
Her boyfriend, Niger Miles, a 32-year-old from Manhattan, said the group had planned to rent a cabin in the woods prior to the hurricane to celebrate a friend's birthday.
But the group encountered a couple problems.
First, the storm "made it more difficult" to get out of the city, Miles said.
And then there was the slight inconvenience that the high winds of the hurricane knocked down some trees, which destroyed the cabin they rented, he said.
Fortunately, the group was able to secure another cabin, he said.
"It's bigger and nicer anyway," Miles said, as a smile spread across his face. "So we made out alright."

I almost hate these guys for doing this kind of thing, teasing such an awesome concept.
Okay so after many months of yelling at me, my friends have backed me into the corner and forced me to play this game with them again. I never did much with it before this, so after being given gold to craft my way to lvl 30 in 20 minutes, we did my first dungeon. I'm playing a Guardian and am a tank, as per usual with MMO's I play. That having been said, I loved the experience and will be spending quite some time in this game from now on, at least until Archeage is released. I apologize for my goofiness. I was tired xD.
Review for Strife coming soon! Game is pretty interesting.
Surprised no one else has ever spoken about Strife yet. The beta has been going for a few months now. Then again I did get an invite from when they gave out Pax invites last year.
Thats one moba ive been keeping an eye on and praying i get into the closed beta for. Really like the fact its supposed to be...well...easier so to speak then LoL for teamwork and whatnot.
It is definitely a lot easier. I'm coming from Dota 2 so I have to forget about a lot of the concepts. For example, there is no denying and any ally last hitting results in gold for all the heroes in that lane. It has a pretty cool crafting and pet system.
Exactly. The only mobas i've actually tried is LoL,HoN,and dawngate so my experience is minimal,and the only one of those 3 i actually enjoyed was LoL. HoN confused me (go figure) and i was so stoked to get a dawngate beta key,but it was just slightly less confusing then HoN. Ive heard things like gold is shared throughout the whole team so as long as 1 person on the team last hits,you all get gold. Such small features like that makes me really want to play because im not too good at mobas,so any extra help for being a noob is much appreciated.
I look terrible and my spec/stats are worse but I don't even kind of care. Screw the PvP this is the best princess dress-up game ever.

Man even with 20 so graphic mods plus ENB I can´t my skyrim to look like that and still im using mods that makes My Titan cry.
Well, I'm using the RealVision ENB (Option A) with my own tweaks, I also added SweetFX to make the colors more Fantasy-like since without it the ENB looks too bland, at least for my taste.
As for the textures I use the ones recommended by the RealVision guy, for the most part.

Aside from my work with product strategists, I'm also a quant geek. For much of my career, I've written surveys (to study both consumers and businesses) to delve deeply into demand-side behaviors, attitudes, and needs. For my first couple of years at Forrester, I actually spent 100% of my time helping clients with custom research projects that employed data and advanced analytics to help drive their business strategies.
These days, I use those quantitative research tools to help product strategists build winning product strategies. I have two favorite analytical approaches: my second favorite is segmentation analysis, which is an important tool for product strategists. But my very favorite tool for product strategists is conjoint analysis. If you, as a product strategist, don't currently use conjoint, I'd like you to spend some time learning about it.
Why? Because conjoint analysis should be in every product strategist's toolkit. Also known as feature tradeoff analysis or discrete choice, conjoint analysis can help you choose the right features for a product, determine which features will drive demand, and model pricing for the product in a very sophisticated way. It's the gold standard for price elasticity analysis, and it offers extremely actionable advice on product design. It helps address each of "the four Ps" that inform product strategies.

School continues to be a dangerous place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth. A 2014 study by the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) found that 65% of LGBT students heard homophobic remarks frequently or often, 56% of LGBT students reported personally experiencing LGBT-related discriminatory policies or practices at school, and 33% of LGBT students were physically harassed (e.g., pushed or shoved) in the past year because of their sexual orientation.

States and districts are increasingly in support of policies and practices that shift school discipline away from zero tolerance, such as suspension and expulsion, to discipline that is focused on teaching and engagement.

Not since the days and months immediately after September 11 has the Muslim community faced the level of anti-Muslim bias and bullying that has been seen over the past several months.

Oregon Historical County Records Guide
Yamhill County Records Inventory
Coroner and Inquest Records
Series records the results of the examination of a corpse by the county coroner at the request of the county sheriff. It also documents the proceedings and results of inquests ordered by the district attorney. Reports include date filed; name, age, sex, race, parentage, and birthplace of deceased; date, place, and time of death; names of undertaker and coroner; testimony; and costs. Early reports were narrative accounts detailing the cause of death. After 1900, a standardized form was used for reporting results. Inquest transcripts include coroner and juror names, signatures, and actions; witness names; testimony; and verdict. Coroner and inquest records have been inventoried through 1965.

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson will give his pre-match view and you can get his post-match verdict in our Talking Tactics feature on Arsenal Player. We'll also hear from a journalist who follows the club we'll be facing.
Manchester United have used two totally different game plans against Arsenal at Old Trafford in recent seasons. More often than not they have closed Arsenal down as high up the pitch as possible in order to stop the Gunners' fluency. On other occassions they have dropped deep, remained compact and relied on their defensive capabilities to thwart Wenger`s men. However without Vidic and Ferdinand available I believe Sir Alex Ferguson will use the former strategy, so that his young centre backs will not be under constant pressure.
It's unlikely there will be any changes to the 4-4-2 they have played all season. I think he will stick with the kids, especially at the back because of injuries. I don't think there will be any changes because they played so well against Tottenham. In the two games I have watched so far, Phil Jones has looked terrific. Chris Smalling had a fantastic season last year, and Jonny Evans has come back looking how he did two years ago. De Gea looks a little bit vulnerable at times and has made a couple of mistakes, but because the team are winning he can get away with it and build up some confidence. At the moment I don't see why he [Sir Alex Ferguson] would change Danny Welbeck for Hernandez or Berbatov, he has the best of both worlds really. Rio is back in training, but I don't think he will be playing on Sunday. Darren Fletcher played for the Reserves last night, but I don't expect to see him starting either.
I think United will look to exploit Arsenal at the back. I am not convinced that they have got it right there yet, although the goalkeeper [Wojciech Szczesny] looks terrific. That is one area where I don't see any future problems. Certainly Wayne Rooney having a go at the back four is going to be interesting because I don't think the confidence for Arsenal is quite there yet. Obviously in midfield they have lost Fabregas and Nasri so you have to wonder if there is a bit of a weakness there.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

'"You look at the defense we've got, and we've got to play a certain way," Ruff said Friday. "Giving up the types of shots we've given up doesn't bother me. It's the quality opportunities, and we've tried to stay away from that. We're just trying to protect our defense a little bit, and I think we've done a good job of that. We're going to give up a few more shots playing that way, but at the same time it's still an effective way to win games."'

Growing Pains
'What is more troubling than Gragnani's little ice time is the comparable playing time for Nathan Paetsch. Buffalo's seventh defenseman for the entire season, Paetsch was supposed to be cracking the top-6 at this point in his career. A season or two ago, Paetsch seemed like the only defenseman other than Brian Campbell able to play positive minutes on the power play. Now the 2001 second-round pick is likely on his way out with Mike Weber ready to play for the big-league club and the time also approaching for Mike Card and Mike Funk to make their way west from Portland into HSBC Arena.'
Sabres' Kaleta returns to practice
'Kaleta skated with the fourth line during the Buffalo Sabres' practice at the Peoria Sports Complex today. He may be available to play Saturday when the Sabres visit the Phoenix Coyotes.'
Sabres' 'Staff' meshes with Connolly
'Connolly and Stafford, who became linemates three games ago, have become Buffalo's most productive duo. They have combined for seven goals and two assists in the past two games.'
Friday's Portland Coverage

Sabres' Miller has grounds for dismay
'"It was my best impression of Roger Dorn from 'Major League.' Just ground balls going through," Miller said. "Not very like me, but I definitely have to be better, especially on the road and especially for a team that needs some points."'
Sabres put Gragnani in position to succeed
'"He's going to be an offensive defenseman," the coach said. "He's going to have to work a little bit on his play on the defensive side, but it's no different than a Brian Campbell when he first came up his first few years."'

Cammalleri hat trick lifts Flames past Sabres 5-2
'Miller was peppered for 43 shots, including 19 in the third period, and was frustrated by that goal. "Not very like me. I definitely have to be better, especially on the road and especially for a team that needs some points," Miller said. "It doesn't matter what the shots on goal are. It's my job to keep the boys in the game and give them a chance to win and unfortunately I didn't really feel like I did a very good job of that."'
Cammalleri scores three times in Flames' 5-2 triumph over Sabres
'Tied 2-2 entering the third, Todd Bertuzzi scored the go-ahead goal at 7:08 ,stepping around Sabres defenceman Toni Lydman at the Buffalo blue-line and roofing a perfect shot under the crossbar.'
Calgary 5, Buffalo 2
'"I thought we battled hard," said Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff. "Things were going pretty good. We had the first couple real good scoring chances in the third. It seemed like once (the Flames) got the go-ahead goal, we got sloppy."'
Turnovers Costly; Sabres Drop 5-2 to Calgary
'With the loss, the Sabres are 2-2 on their road trip, and remain in 7th place in the Eastern Conference with 55 points. They trail the 6th place Philadelphia Flyers by four points.'

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks Onyx'girl for the reply. I am in Northern California, and as you said it has been ongoing for the past month or so, and yes....she just went into heat! She does swim a lot in our pool so I was a bit concerned that maybe the chlorine might have played a part. It has been such a long time since I had a GSD (and after having Siberian Huskies for so long) I guess I have forgotten just how much they shed :-)
Not sure your location, but my dogs are losing their coat now too, just to get in the Winter undercoat. But it isn't a 'blow' just an ongoing shed thru the past couple of months.
If your female is not spayed, a heat cycle plays into coat blows.
If you don't notice her chewing, scratching herself, it is probably normal for the time of year(usually the daylight hours play into shed/molting)
Raw fed for 4mths and coat question
I have been feeding my 18 month old female a franken prey model raw diet now for almost 4 months using a variety of meats and organs and I have to say she looks amazing. I have not had a GSD in probably 25 yrs so I may have forgotten about what to expect with their coats. I have had Siberian Huskies for close to 30 yrs so I know how they blow their under coats heavily for at least 3 weeks 2x per year. My female shepherd seems to be shedding a lot of hair, mainly on her back, and I am wondering if this is a normal shedding process that I have forgotten about, or if I am not giving her something she needs in her diet? She gets 3 pumps (.36 fl oz) of Grizzly Salmon Oil each day. She does not have any thin areas or hot spots, just a lot of hair coming out. Opinions?????

Fernando Botero
The Pinzón Family
Fernando Botero
Colombian, b. 1932
The Pinzón Family, 1965
Oil on canvas
174.6 x 174.6 cm (68 3/4 x 68 3/4 inches)
Nancy Sayles Day Collection of Modern Latin American Art 66.271
Born in Colombia, Fernando Botero studied art in Madrid and has lived for many years in New York and Paris. His paintings are known for their impossibly rounded figures. Both Botero's subject matter and style contrast starkly with the sinewy, working-class subjects of Social Realism that dominated Colombian art of the early twentieth century. Until recently, Botero's subjects have tended to be those depicted in traditional genres such as portraiture and still life. The Pinzón Family takes the idea of a typical 1960s Colombian middle-class family as its subject. The figures are posed as if about to resume a Sunday stroll within an ordinary landscape setting.


text: The reason I went with wax foundation instead of plastic was that I read that the bees accept it more easily. I'm using foundation with verticle wires and hooks. My frames have a groved bottom and a wedge top. In the past I was wiring in the "X" style. I'm thinking one wire across the bottom should strengthen the comb enough to compensate for my clumsiness. What do you guys think?Maybe next year for plastic foundation. This year I just ordered 500 frames and 50lbs of foundation. Looks like "I'm in it to win it" with wax. :-D

First question is which kind of WLAN adapter do you have and which commands you are running.
hi, new to this, running backtrack 5, with vm ware workstatiion, on windows 7 , 64 bit. all good, checks first packet, then get message
failed, next try with 5000 ivs, my question is, do i just leave it alone, or do i need to put in more commands??
just not sure what to do next.
First question is which kind of WLAN adapter do you have and which commands you are running.
Tiocfaidh ár lá
kinda vague on the question you're asking but the error message seems reminiscent of a failed attack on wep using aircrack... If thats the case, rerun the attack and let the data packet number add up a lot higher than 5,000 before you stop it and run aircrack again. try with anywhere between 30 and 50k... thats what usually works for me.
You can run aircrack-ng at the same time as your gathering packets, it will crack the key once it has enough data packets. Then you can stop the packet injection.

Utah's offensive line has ben under intense scrutiny this spring, with good reason after the 2012 season in which the Utes struggled to gel together and injuries depleted an already thin group.
So far, the Utes are encouraged by what they see.
The Utes have about 18 healthy offensive linemen in camp, with seven or eight ready to play now, offensive line coach Dan Finn said. He wants that number to at least 10, but believes the Utes will be there in the fall.
"We are heads and shoulders above where we were," he said. "We have a lot more depth and natural talent."
Left tackle Jeremiah Poutasi, left guard Jeremiah Tofaeono, center Vyncent Jones, right guard Junior Salt and right tackle Siaosi Aiono are the current starting five.
Of those, the Utes are particularly impressed with the way Aiono, a 6-foot-2, 305-pound sophomore, is developing.
"He is a young kid who is finally starting to figure it out," Finn said. "He has stepped up and learned a lot and is doing a great job. He will be fine out there."
Also having an impact is Andrew Albers, a 6-7, 310-pound junior college transfer.
"He gives us a lot of flexibility to move people around," Finn said.
Utah co-offensive coordinator Dennis Erickson said he has been impressed by Utah's linemen, calling it the "strength of the football team."
"We have seven or eight who can play and that is a tremendous advantage for us," he said.
Defensive moves
Utah's latest depth chart features several moves initiated because of injuries.
Injuries have sidelined several starters, including Trevor Reilly (knee surgery recovery), Brian Blechen (tendinitis), and Nate Orchard (back surgery). Backups getting more reps are Thretton Palamo at left end, Hunter Dimick at right end and linebackers Jared Norris and Jacoby Hale.
Freshman Justin Thomas has been one of the surprises of camp and is listed ahead of JC transfer Davion Orphey at corner. At strong safety, Tyron Morris-Edwards is listed ahead of Quade Chappuis.
Whittingham has been extremely complimentary of Morris-Edwards during camp. He played in nine games last year and had 16 tackles, but looks to be a much bigger factor this year.
The Utes have also moved lineman Daniel Nielson from offense to defense.
All good
With Star Lotulelei's permission, doctors have released details of the tests performed on the former tackle last week which showed he has normal heart function.
Tests at the NFL Combine revealed Lotulelei's left ventricle was pumping at only 44 percent efficiency, prompting some worries his NFL career could be in jeopardy.
However, doctors now believe the abnormality might have been caused by a virus, as a treadmill stress test, EKG monitoring and MRI performed on March 27 all showed he had "complete normalization of the heart muscle function."
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said Lotulelei was in "good spirits."
"That was the only red flag, and hopefully that has been put to rest," Whittingham said of the medical concerns.
Good and bad
The Utes had a good practice Tuesday, but Whittingham said the receivers continue to drop too many passes. Defensively, the Utes have scaled back some after too many missed assignments.
"We returned to basics and it has been much cleaner than it has been recently," he said.

|Effects of stress induced fever on maximal metabolic rates in nine-banded armadillos
|Holmes, Jimmie G.
|University of New Orleans. Honors thesis. 2002.; University of New Orleans. Dept. of Biological Sciences.
|Nine banded armadillos, Dasypus novemcinctus, experience a rise in body temperature as a result of exposure to cold-stress. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which is an exogenous pyrogen, causes a similar fever response when injected into the animal. The body temperature rise (Tb) is energy expensive and could be seen as maladaptive unless the benefits of the response convey some advantage that offsets this cost. I hypothesize that this advantage in terms of cold-stress induced fever is to allow the animal to achieve a higher maximal metabolic rate (M1v1R) than is otherwise possible. To test this hypothesis, three series of experiments were conducted. In Series I experiments, body temperature and the volume of oxygen consumed (V02) were measured on the animal during cold exposure. For Series I experiments, the average change in Tbwas 1.66±0.2 DC and the average change in V02 was 48.9±10.2 mL. min-! when the animal was exposed to cold-stress. In Series II experiments, the Tb response to LPS treatments was measured. For Series II experiments, the maximal Tb difference between the LPS-injected and saline-injected groups was 1.56±0.47 DC And in Series III, the two treatments were combined and the results analyzed to see if the data support my hypothesis. For Series III experiments, I found a significant difference in maximal V02 levels between the two treatments (p=0.002, t=1 0.48) with means of 83.45 mL • min-l and 106.3 8 mL • min-I for LPS and saline respectively These results are opposite those that were expected. Because of unforeseen experimental problems, the additive effect of the two types of hyperthermia was not achievable and appeared to induce endotoxic shock in the animals.

Yesterday, Amazon launched an adjunct to its successful Amazon Web Service (AWS) elastic cloud offering. While we don't normally comment on every product release, this one is significant — primarily because of who is doing it. The Simple Workflow service (SWF) clearly has nothing to do with Adobe's Flash offering (although techno-nerds may initially think so, given the acronym).
So what was this all about? The business model is certainly interesting: an elastic, configurable workflow capability that's distributed across any number of access points. Essentially, this will allow an organization to orchestrate processes in the cloud, linking participants up and down the value chain.
"Amazon Simple Workflow Service (Amazon SWF) is a workflow service for building scalable, resilient applications. Whether automating business processes for finance or insurance applications, building sophisticated data analytics applications, or managing cloud infrastructure services, Amazon SWF reliably coordinates all of the processing steps within an application."
Pricing is initially free and then transitions into a blended, low-cost consumption model, with charges oriented around execution steps, bandwidth usage, how long the task is active, and signals/markers, etc. With usage charges at around $0.0001 per execution step, this gives you an idea of how small the operating overhead might be.

Try 14 years... I got married 14 years ago and havent been to the gym since, man I tried going back two weeks ago, and did a few miles on the tread, but sheesh.
haha :D it takes time! AND LOTS OF DEVOTION! i really gotta get back there
oh and realized in my drowzyness that i only thought i figured it out, adobe acrobat is confusing the **** out of me. I have no idea whats even wrong, maybe i should just try again tomorrow. I wanted to print them tonight so i could trace them onto the trashcan tomorrow but oh well
I printed both the belly and chest armor and held them up to myself to see if it was the right size, there is about three inches of space between them! and they look way to small, so ya TOTALLY CONFUSED RIGHT NOW!
the acrobat page says its 37.11 x 28.28 in
and my printer can only print 11 x 8
Wierd? Give it til morning, I think the lack of sleep is messing with both of us vod, I'm starting to hear things, and it's only like 1am, anyway, I'll check for update tomorrow (or today) in the AM. G-Night.
Night! ya its about 2 here so time to hit the sack :D
i just double checked the large templates. they print on one page fine for me....
check your printers settings, also check to make sure you have the original WOF templates and not some copy that someone gave you. they are NOT PDF's. they are gifs...
here is the proper link.
All Boba/Jango Templates
Here is the listing for all boba/jango template patterns on TDH from armor to gaunts. Armor is in .gif format, gaunts and helmet patterns are in PDF format.
I've found it easier to use Nero Viewer when it comes to re-sizing patterns. I've re-sized them many times using that program, and so far it hasn't failed me yet. Just takes a little practice to get them sized right for yourself.
I've found that the WOF patterns run either a touch big or a touch small depending on your body size...so you will want to make sure to check the patterns against yourself to get armor that will properly fit.
Thanks NovallTalon :D
alright templates are printed, all the right size, and about to be traced onto my trashcan
really cant wait to see em... remember to watch out for molten plastic, protect your eyes!
Can anyone post a picture of what the backplate should look like?
umm... yeah I can but it'll be a while... check out the "mandalorian armor" section and look for a showoff thread, those r usually handy dandy. Also, as far as the abdominal circumfrence goes, I may not have a six pack yet... but the AF makes me stay in shape and... I'm starting P90X again tonight... had to put it on hold for a few days while the fam was visiting.
thanks! and ya i would expect you to stay fit :D

Hey folks,
Anyone have a clue or given thought to how to make the esb sidearm blaster's holster? I had a marmit fett and I love that holster, whether or not it's correct. It seems correct, as does his gun.
*edit: Here's my Charlie Brown sketch of what I believe the holster looks like. I have labeled the three main lengths for easy measurement reference. I'll measure my pistol and from there maybe we can speculate about the proper lengths for a,b,c.
The holster is basically a long slab of leather/vinyl/pleather that hangs from the belt to about the knee or so. It then just wraps around the body of the gun, leaving the handle well exposed as well as the bottom tip of the gun. Can someone make this? Has anyone made this? I'm not beyond making it myself but figured might as well see what anyone knew. I'll post a sketch of exactly what I think the holster should look like tonight.

I've been looking around at some AMG, M type, and S type stuff and most notably the E39 M5 prices have me scratching my head. It's hard to find a decent low-mileage example for sure, but is a 12-year old car with under 50k miles really still worth $30K+?
The difference is astounding..a pretty clean example with 75k can be had for low 20's, but anything under that mileage shoots up to the high 20's and beyond.
It's hard to swallow when the AMG counter-parts are going for mid to lower 20's with the same or better mileage. And arguably, the M5 has a very outdated (even outdated for the time) interior and less performance (say vs E55), but I'm sure it nails the "driving dynamics" part, and of course having the manual may add to its value.
THIS ($38k) :
VS ($24k):
* While it is true the E55 AMG was more so the direct competitor to the M5, the C55 was actually closest in performance to the M5, with the E55 AMG truly ahead (trapping 116mph in the 1/4). Even the E55 AMG's are on average a bit cheaper than E39 M5's with similar mileage.

Over 40% of business technology decision-makers indicate that support forums, discussion forums, and professional social networks influence them throughout their online journey. Yet many marketers overlook the impact of the conversations that occur within these networks.
Chances are your company has an online community that requires your attention. Whether you have a support forum on your corporate website, a company page on LinkedIn, or a brand page on Facebook, somewhere there is a community of customers, partners, and influencers that is talking about your brand.
It is up to you to take advantage of this opportunity to interact with your community members, but it requires a new marketing mindset. It requires a shift from traditional media creation to social capital creation. It requires an ability to engage and motivate influencers. It also requires time, energy, and commitment from you and the stakeholders within your organization.
It is difficult to ignore the impact that community interactions have on decision-makers. But why do online communities often fail? We speak to many clients who struggle with establishing their communities and found five common mistakes:
1. Choosing the wrong approach. Communities are not a "one size fits all" strategy for customer engagement. Companies must understand how and where their customers and prospects prefer to engage online and the types of activities that will drive member participation.

The music industry in Europe has had a traumatic time, losing more than 31% of its revenue in the past five years to piracy. Given the increasing digitalization of content in the music, video, gaming, and newspaper industries, our recently published Forrester Research Online Paid Content Forecast, 2012 To 2017 (EU-7) maps content's evolution from an audience, payer, and revenue perspective for each of these categories and for each of seven European countries. Here are some high-level results for the four categories:
Music.With more than 35% of music revenues in Europe coming from digital, spending on physical music will soon be overtaken by its digital counterpart. Although digital music use in Europe still lags behind the US (where digital revenues exceeded physical revenues for the first time in 2012), Forrester found that more than 50% of online Europeans already listen to online music regularly.
Video.Video is the fastest-growing digital content category; we forecast that more than 90% of the online population will regularly watch online video by 2017. Online video audience penetrations will rise significantly as video on demand, pay per view, and catchup TV become mainstream. And with pay-TV penetrations in the EU-7 nations considerably lower than in the US, there's more scope for paid online video to grow.

File this one in the "Wow, I didn't know I could do that!" category, but did you know that you can re-name multiple files at once?
It's possible! So next time you have a bunch of files, folders, or pictures with names like DSC_5678 and want to rename them in a more uniform way, do this:
Highlight all the files/folder in question…
Right-click, choose Rename and call it something that best describes them. For example, I had a bunch of pictures of a guitar, so I just renamed it "Guitar".
Voila! A uniform naming convention!

Plant Sciences
Plants are the basis for nourishment of a growing world population with changing needs. They are the basis for a future bio-economy of renewable raw materials and resources as well as the starting material for the energetic utilization of biomass. Plants are key elements in approaches to climate change and the preservation of biological diversity.
New technologies such as (non-invasive) pheno-typing with non-invasive methods, modern technologies for plant breeding or modeling and simulation of the interaction genome-environment coupled with bio-informatics open up new approaches to understanding but also for practical implementation of a knowledge-based use of plants for the bio-economy.

Re: Mirage Yachts Ltd
There is a leak around the head pump out on my 24. I do not currently have a hose on the fitting so I stuffed a paper towel into the opening below decks last week to see if it would get wet. It was wet with clear water after a recent few days of rain. I also found the outside of the fitting to be wet. One of my old paper charts was on the port side shelf near the companionway which had damp brown water stains on it.
I sailed yesterday afternoon and took some water over the rail beating to windward. When I tied up and went below I saw brown water had dripped down onto the ceiling behind the porta-pot. I think water is running fore and aft in the channel of the inside deck liner. I drilled a small hole in the liner above the head. Nothing came out. If I drill a hole midships I think water would drip/run onto the shelf. I'm tempted but I won't just yet.
I'll need to remove the pump out fitting from the deck this winter. It does not appear to be screwed to the deck. Could it be fastened only with adhesive? Can I twist the pvc fitting off below decks then remove the upper portion from the deck? I'd like to hear the voice of experience before I attempt this fix.

Re: Mirage Yachts Ltd
I was very fortunate to find a 1977 Mirage 24 that has had inside winter storage for years and was well cared for. She has dry decks and hull. My surveyor suggested rebedding deck hardware every two years.
A service manager at Manitowoc Marina in Wisconsin uses 4200 as a sealant instead of 5200 because parts can be removed where 5200 may break gelcoat and fiberglass. Morris Yachts uses Bytul tape. I wish I had known that before rebedding chain plates with 5200. I still have a leak near the head which I thought was the chain plate. I sat in the boat today during a rainstorm looking for leaks anywhere and everywhere. I found two leaks. One is around the waste pumpout. The other is the vent. When it stops raining I can hopefully stop the leaks.
Thought I'd edit/add to this response as I fixed yet another leak. The main hatch cover squeaked when slid open and closed. I removed it to clean the track and inside of the cover. I removed the mahogany stop that runs athwartships between the two tracks. Found evidence of water getting inside and running down the starboard side of the liner and dripping on the starboard settee through holes drilled in the liner where a rope clutch was installed on deck. I rebedded the wood stop with 4200. Haven't seen water since on the settee. The deck head pumpout still leaks. I guess I'll have to remove it and rebed.
Re: Mirage Yachts Ltd
I purchased a 1978 Mirage 24 and it didn't have a boom, anybody out there have a boom for sale, the main sail is 84" wide.
The fiberglass doors for the cockpit storage are also in bad shape, would purchase two of those if anybody has a boat for parts.
Just piping in for the searchers.
I own a Mirage 24 and sail her out of Toronto. As my first boat I couldn't ask for more. Purchased it last year so it hasn't been that long but many hours of sailing and maintenance have already been spent with it (topsides were treated with a light sanding, rubbing compound and wax and the finish came out almost perfect, bottom paint in spring, some electrical modifications, otherwise it needed nothing). Ours does not leak, at least, not anything worth mentioning. The only problem with the boat that we have had so far is that the gelcoat on the deck has not been waxed or treated in years so it's really dirty and chalky. I have spent the past few days cleaning the deck with Bar Keepers Friend (best product I've ever used to clean anything) and it's coming out great! Have started the waxing job as well and once this is done I think the boat will be in tip top shape. We could use a new main sail but that will have to wait.
|I own a mirage 24 ..she is an amazing boat ...Although some people my have a leak or 2 ....It really all depends on the maintenance and care they have recieved. my Mirage is near mint condition and I have no problems with her at all .....MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE
Good evening.
Would you kindly keep us posted if you are interested in selling your Mirage 275. We can be reached via: email@example.com.
SV Chaos
|Whissell, we have had our eye on a cottage and I have her listed on Kijiji in Toronto. I am in Sudbury as well and I keep her in Killarney. Someone named oldsailor made an enquiry so if it was you, this is the same boat. I love this boat and I'm not sure I want to give her away yet but I don't have the time or money to keep a cottage and boat. I'm not even sure I want to try and sell a boat in this market anymore. I have lowered the price several times and now I am thinking about keeping her. But if the cottage deal happens I will have to move on the boat. Then I would downsize to a smaller alberg that I can cheeply moore or store on a trailer to get a sailing fix.
Hi M275 Sailor
Are you thinking about selling her ? Seriously ? I am a Sudbury resident and am looking for a Mirage 275...Let me know..
Please, please don't buy a boat with out a survey. Speaking from experience........most reliable insurance companies will eventually demand one anyway, do it now while she's out of the water...It could save you from a very bad investment and tons of headaches !
|I was torn between classic and modern before buying my M275. I love the albergs too. If ever I sell the Mirage I will go with an alberg. It would be nice to have something on a trailer to reduce yard fees. Do you like to go fast or smell the roses. Two nice boats but opposite.
