The 105th spring meeting of the AAVSO was held at the Crowne Plaza in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, Thursday, May 4th to Saturday May 7th. St. Louis was chosen due to it's location in the middle of the continental United States. Council hoped this would encourage people to attend who don't normally come to the fall meetings on the east coast. About a quarter of the attendees were first time attendees or people who don't normally attend the fall meetings in Massachusetts.
The theme of this year's spring meeting is Pulsating Stars. The meeting will begin on Thursday evening at 6pm CDT with a keynote address by Dr. Horace Smith, Professor Emeritus of Michigan State University and a noted expert on RR Lyrae stars. Dr.
The 105th AAVSO Spring Meeting will be held in St. Louis, Missouri on May 5-7, 2016. The venue will be the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown St. Louis and guest rooms have been reserved there at a reduced rate for the use of attendees.

it's been a long time since i've painted a boba helmet, some of you may remember the thread of my ms3 paint up. well, my boba costume has been in semi-retirement for almost a year, due to the fact that i haven't had a helmet to wear because i needed to get jango done back in december. anyway, i started on this helmet forever ago, i want to say last october i painted the dome, then i was slowly tracing the damage templates (from rafalfett) onto the back panels for the past three months and last night i finally got the green painted on. i figured i should share my progress, because it'll encourage me to get this done by oct 8th so i can be in a weird al concert.
the helmet is a FP MR proto-premium, i have aluminum ears for it from commando eight, aluminum rf stalk from bkbt, terminal fettler hollow aluminum rf topper, and a mrgr8ness self-contained rf led. i'm going to put a remote controlled servo in the helmet as well as a helmet contained voice amp, but more on those later in the build. now it's time for some pics.

Merrimack River salmon program's run is done
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader | September 16. 2013 9:48PM
An Atlantic Salmon at the Amoskeag Fishways learning and visitors nature center in Manchester is one of a number of native spiecies on view for visitors to get a close look at. The migratory fish was once abundant until dams along rivers such as the Merrimack blocked access to upriver streams for spawning. (UNION LEADER FILE)
Only 22 salmon were counted at a key spot in the Merrimack River this summer — the Essex Fish Dam in Lawrence, Mass. — compared to 400 two years earlier. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ended a similar program on the Connecticut River last summer.
"It's the fish that attracts public attention. It's at the top of the food chain. "It's sort of like the (bald) eagle in the fish world," Embley said.
"While the science is driving our decision, our declining budgets hastened it. We need to prioritize," said Wendi Weber, the Service's Northeast regional director, in prepared remarks.
He said recent stockings amounted to about 500,000 fry in the Pemigewasset and Souhegan rivers, small in comparison to the 2.5 million fry in the early 2000s.
Public Service of New Hampshire spokesman Martin Murray said the utility installed the $4 million ladder in 1989 at the urging of federal and state officials. While salmon benefited, the ladder was installed primarily for American shad and river herrings, Murray said.
Embley said the announcement upends a promise by a policy committee of New Hampshire, Massachusetts and federal officials to keep the Atlantic salmon program going until 2015.

Georgia Marine Mammal Stranding Network
The Georgia Marine Mammal Stranding Network was created in 1989 to coordinate marine mammal stranding response in Georgia. DNR's Nongame Conservation Section coordinates the network with help from NOAA Fisheries and other federal, state and private organizations. Network goals are to improve the understanding of marine mammal biology, investigate human impacts on marine mammals, monitor population health, provide rapid, humane response to live stranded marine mammals, as well as educate the public about marine mammal issues.
From 2001-2012, the network documented 365 marine mammal strandings, ranging from 13 to 46 a year. Bottlenose dolphins are the most common species stranded in Georgia, making up 75 percent of strandings, followed by pygmy and dwarf sperm whales (15 percent). Other species documented include Stenella dolphins, rough-toothed dolphins, Risso's dolphins, pygmy killer whales, false killer whales, short-finned pilot whales, humpbacks, North Atlantic right whales and beaked whales.
To report a stranding, call (800) 2-SAVE-ME (1-800-272-8363).

I would take it back tomorrow. Sitting on the shelf a few years is 1 thing. That is another...
This is my first post here and I hope I don't sound like an idiot. Anyway, I have been looking to buy a Sig and today went to a gunshow nearby and purchased a P226. Here's the story I hope someone will be able to tell me something quickly before they close up tomorrow the 25th.
Too make a long story short. I see a 226 with price tag on it of $680, looks good, looks new, and ask guy if this is a new pistol and he says yes. I ask if that is the best price, he tells me he will take 630, comes with box papers, 2 15rd mags. I ask again if it is new, says yes. I come back later and decide to buy it. I ask yet again if this is new, I notice the box is not hard plastic, but regular old Sig box, kind of beat up, but I figure it got that way taking it from show to show. As he is filling out papers and talking about price I say "new in box" and he repeats NIB. I get home and do some checking and notice mark is KC, which, if I am correct means manufactured in 1992. In looking at manual I see where warranty card, I suppose, has been removed. So what is the deal? It looks new, but 15 years old certainly is not new to me. Would someone please give me some advice? Thanks
I would take it back tomorrow. Sitting on the shelf a few years is 1 thing. That is another...
without seeing the gun in person it will be difficult to say new or used so Ill just say this, if it hasnt been fired (except testing at the factory)it is still considered to be NIB. even if it was 50 years old.
That is true. But given U don't have have a registration card.... And, U bought it at a gun show, I'd go back tomorrow. U can't call Sig until Monday to find out if the gun has been registered. And then U are stuck, unless the guy U bought from is local.
does it have the tac assessory rail?
I hope I'm not too late. But in this case, I'd use my trusted theory: when in doubt, bail out! Take it back. You'll always have a doubt in your mind.
Thanks for all your thoughts. I was unable to make it back to the show until later and the guy had already left. Anyway, I honestly believe this pistol has not been fired except for the test firing. As I said it came in the original box, with manual along with the test target. It does not have a scratch on it, nothing to make me think it has been used. I field stripped it and it appears perfect on the inside. Called and talked to Sig on Monday and was told it had not been sent back to be refurbished or to be a CPO. I checked it over pretty darn well and everything seems to be fine, the slide has no waggle to it. Knowledgeable firearms people I have shown it to see nothing to indicate it has been used. Thanks and anymore thoughts would be appreciated.
Sounds like things worked out for you. Relax and enjoy your new toy.
I just wanted to point out that assuming the law is similar everywhere you do not have to have the warranty registration card and send it in for the warranty to be valid.

Discussion in 'November 2010' started by roscoe36, Oct 19, 2010.
Oh my...
Another TMacism: TST = tore scar tissue I wanted to grade the players but Dre and Lee did a good job. Anyway GS started out hot but cooled on their 3s shooting only 6-21, .261. If they hit 2 more we lose. We shot .529 on 9 of 17. It got the job done. If guys aren't hitting their shots don't forget steals and blocks count. CV had 2 and BBeen 2 but CV was having a good game. Only Daye and Rip shot better than .500 but FTs count and all but GM shot those well. So my grades are: Tay B Day B BBeen B Stuck B+ Rip B [5 turns] CV A- Bynumite B GM C TMac only 9 min BenGo B+ ***************** If we had lost, all those grades drop 1
Rodney Stuckey played with a focus and intensity that I've never seen in him. He was actually KICKING THE BALL OUT!!! I was amazed, shocked, floored!!!! I was Fred Sanford, "I'm coming to join you Elizabeth" shocked!! </p>I like what GM does on the court, he is waaaaay better than what he was in the pre-season, I predict that once he begins to round into a really nice ball player that he'll hit the proverbial rookie wall. Lotto even did some good things last night!!!! There were only 3 complaints from me, (1)GM's inability to finish. (2) Tayshaun Prince's minutes, this was a night where he should have played 24 (not 34) minutes. When Tay's tired he ain't worth squat on either end of the court. (3) Will Bynum looks awful. He's doing a poor job of running the offense and his decision making has been horrible these last 2 games.
I don't know Kgg, Bynum played only 17 min. He took 1 shot, got 4 As and Bs with one T [turn] Until some one can facilitate this O, we need his PG attitude.
On the one hand that was great...on the other hand why has he chosen not to do this in the past? It's not that he can't he just won't. It took a benching by coach Q to get him started so let's give coach some credit.
He hasn't had ANYBODY to pass to until now.
while there are a few folks that go to overboard to say how terrible stuckey is, you tend to go to the other extreme..... yes your right, injuries were crazy last year... but there are always open shooters when he drove, almost anybody on this team short of wallace can shoot a mid range jumper and Stuckey once his head went down didn't even look to pass the ball. Last night showed like somebody else mentioned he can pass the ball if he wants, well if he wants to make the PG spot his he's going to have to do that every game. He didn't do that in the first 5 games... what was different last night? was it sitting for a game after going into the doghouse? That's disappointing in itself. Don't take me wrong, I am much more positive about stuckey then alot of folks.... but he does have along way to prove he has what it takes between the ears, he's got the skills..... will he use them?
The "will he use them" point you make is the key. I still think that competitors pass the ball a lot more to teammates who can make shots. If nobody has a hot hand, then why bother. I can get Stuckey is a lot more willing with better shotmakers on the floor than he had last year.
I was watching the game last night...and on one play, Rodney drove the ball inside, drew attention......and dished the rock to monroe inside who was fouled. Its about time, and im happy to see Rodney realize that as great of a slasher as he is, he is going to draw a ton of attention. Just dish the ball, he did that tonight. Dished it to the perimeter a couple times too. I know that getting assists doesn't merit good PG skills, but I thought Stuckey's decision making was great, and he did a good job of setting up the offense. More importantly though, he was 4 rebounds and 1 assist away from a triple double. Do I see an arby's small curly fries in our future? At his best, Stuckey is just as effective as Dwade...
Yeah, when comparing Stuckeys best to D-Wades average performance.
I think Stuckey could be a top PG in this league. But I don't see him ever being another DWade - that guy is one of the all-time greats.
But if he dishes to the perimeter we lose PIP. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
Not true. Stuckey's actually played very well all season long, save the incident in Atlanta and maybe the Boston game. He's been kicking it out and getting assists.
If the perimeter guy is wide open and he is about to get his shot swatted, he won't be damned if he dishes it. It's called playing the right way.
I'm quite happy about yesterday's win. That team is better than most realize. Monta Ellis is unguardable and teams haven't figured out how to make GSW pay for playing with a small backcourt, they're truthfully a matchup nightmare for us, but we won!!! We played ugly ball, but we won. But that ugly ball can be tweeked a little. Oh and I almost forgot, Stuckey FINALLY ran a pick and roll!!!!! where he actually dished the rock to the player rolling to the basket, I darn near cried..........................I'm comin to join ya Elizabeth..........
Because, he can't win a single game in this league all by himself. One of the attributes of a PG is the ability to know how to get various teammates going, create hot-hands on the fly if you will. A good PG generates opportunities to optimize the production of his teammates with the way he organizes and runs the offense. A good PG knows his teammates' strengths and weaknesses well, and knows what kind of offensive opportunities he needs to create to get each player going. The he didn't pass a lot because the shooters around him sucked argument isn't a valid excuse for Stuckey being perceived as less than suitable at the PG position. If anything, it is a statement that supports that he hasn't been a good PG so far.
Sequels are rarely match the quality of originals.
Separate names with a comma.

Research Interests:
Diabetes, obesity, and osteoporosis are major public health concerns due
to their prevalence in our increasingly sedentary and aging society. The peroxisome
proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARg) transcription
factor is a protein that regulates glucose metabolism and energy expenditure. This
protein also regulates lineage commitment of bone marrow
mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). PPARg protein is a target for a class of anti-diabetic
drugs TZDs, which decrease glucose levels and increase
insulin sensitivity. Although their beneficial anti-diabetic profile, prolonged treatment
with these drugs leads to the bone loss and increased
number of bone fractures in diabetic patients. Dr. Lecka-Czernik's research has demonstrated
that TZDs affect bone mass by changing lineage
commitment of MSC toward formation of fat cells (adipocytes) and away from formation
of bone forming cells (osteoblast). As a result, TZD
administration to animals, as well as to humans, leads to the bone loss and the gain
of fat in the bone marrow. Her research also demonstrated
that the similar mechanism involving PPARg protein is responsible for bone loss with
Ongoing research projects:
1. Development of an animal model of therapeutic intervention to prevent TZD-associated bone loss.
2. Improve bone fracture healing in diabetic patients by means of stem cell-based and siRNA-based therapies.
3. Determine age- and diabetes-related mechanisms which decrease MSC potential to regenerate bone.

What are the odds of getting a job with only a TEFL certificate (no teaching degree, university, etc.)? I am more than willing to go to any country as long as I can make enough money to make ends meet in that country. I know that some employers can be quite particular as well. I am from Canada, 21 years old and I look even younger (I heard that some places take physical appearance into account).
Also, are there any other qualities/skills that employers abroad look for?
PS. The closest relating experience I have is helping a few Quebecois with their English for 6 months and staying in Quebec for 3 of those months. Not sure if this makes any difference lol

A project of
Diaspora comes from an ancient Greek word meaning "a scattering or sowing of seeds." Today, the term is used to refer to ethnic populations who were forced to leave their homelands yet maintain connections with their heritage. Their story is our country's history. Many United States communities are home to such populations, but too often, these communities do not readily embrace new residents due to cultural, language, and social differences.
Teachers Lead the Way to Student Success
With support from the Ford Foundation, Excelsior College partnered with schools struggling with the challenges presented by diasporic populations. Together, we explored the problems teachers face in the classroom and the promise of new approaches. This is a discussion we intend to continue with this Web site.
The Ford Foundation has funded initiatives that strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation, and advance human achievement for over 70 years. Excelsior College, with its record of service to minority students, is proud to have the opportunity to support the Ford mission by teaching strategies to help immigrant families succeed in their new schools and communities.

also not one vote!? ouch
any ways mogan pick it
also not one vote!? ouch
any ways mogan pick it
The Next word is "Dire"
thats good for him but he obviously put a lot more time into it than i did. i did that thing in maybe 15-20 minutes. it was just quick to see what you guys thought...and age really doesnt matter, im sure theres 12 year olds out there who could wreck your stuff. im just starting out so the fact that im 19 doesnt really matter
if the fact that this flick's colors are inverted bothers anyone, I'll change it back to the original version. just let me know
So, I decided to take your advice on making sick 3D effects on this piece, Phat2.
We are the paint breathers...
We bleed colors with our bloody stubs that were our thumbs for the artistic evolution.
word is bond man. that looks real nice
^who says "word is bond"...kinda dorky man. here is my crack at it. i like the colors on yours phat looks like a black lite poster , acrsk is nice also they look like they belong on the same wall with those colors.
AcrsK is that really your style 3d is pretty complex... Looks good...
Herste that shit is super proper bro... I like the lowlights on the piece The drips would be doper if they bumped up out of the piece. know wad I mean
This was actually my first attempt on making a true 3D graffiti piece. I had Daim as a inspiration
We are the paint breathers...
We bleed colors with our bloody stubs that were our thumbs for the artistic evolution.
damnn these are lookin reaaal nice. whens this one due?
my attempt:
tried to take everyones advice and keep it simple, not sure if it's too simple though...
Damn, AcrsK, that shit is sick. only thing I dont like is how the R looks like a 2.
Sorry I forgot to set a due date...Monday the 29th
its lookin better than your mone stuff, the e looks quite like the e of a fried of mine but thats just fine.
i really dont like the stupid sayings attached to your pieces...
i know im probably not one to judge, but mogan that looks more like gire to me than dire. other than that its sick
It will take quite some time before you will be able to decipher graff bro
actually mone, the ian kid's right. that does look like a G or a C
shouldda left out the nugget on that bar, or placed it on the back bar of the D instead
don't push him down like that dude :\ he has the right to give his opinion on the matter ô_o
another comment I got regarding those nuggets (on the D and R) they have a diagonal side which should be straight

We were supposed to visit Chandragiri fort during our Horsley Hills trip, but with our car creating trouble Day 2 plans went for a toss and we had to drop the idea of visiting Chandragiri
2 months later, during our Venkatagiri-Talakona trip we accidently came across Chandragiri fort and explored it a bit.
This Chandragiri is located in Andhra Pradesh near temple town Tirupati and not to be mistaken with a similar named fort in Kerala. On the Bangalore-Tirupati route, Chandragiri fort is located about 20 kms before Tirupati. The fort houses 2 major buildings- One is a 2 stories building called Raja Mahal or King's residence, now converted into museum and the other one is a smaller Rani Mahal.
Chandragiri fort was built in the 11th century. (Now 1000 years young!) Chandragiri was under the rule of Yadava rayas for about three centuries and came into control of Vijayanagar rulers in 1367. (source, Wikipedia) and probably this explains the presence of a golden coloured statue of Sri Krishnadevaraya in the campus.
Museum houses a small collection of ancient artefacts, idols and literature, related to regions ranging from Mysore Empire to the Golcondas. Caretakers of the museum offer to explain them in more detail to you, of course in expectation of money. Photography is not allowed inside. First and second floor of Rani Mahal is closed and kept out of bound from tourists.
The palace appears to be built more for leisure than as a defence against enemies, as the structure is located very close to fort walls (which aren't of great height either) and not built on top of the hill. The small rocky hill adjacent to it houses about 8 ruined temples and structures and a decent walk through the fort campus would take about 3 hours. (refer image above)
There's a small pond in the campus and some boats too, but the pond is too small for any sane boating. Laser show is organized during weekends, 7PM onwards.
Chandragiri is a good place to stop by while visiting Tirupati.

Nice place to visit while on the way to some place.
From what we saw, it did not impress me much, except for the good maintenance.
Maybe my opinion would change if we had spent more time there...

Natalie CressmanAffiliation:
Secret Garden Band
Trey Anastasia band
Artist's BiographyIf you listen closely to Unfolding, the extraordinary debut album by Natalie Cressman and her band Secret Garden, she provides all the clues necessary to uncover the treasure trove of influences and inspirations behind her music. Hailing from an illustrious musical family, the San Francisco-raised trombonist, vocalist and composer has been adopted by a disparate cast of masters, and at 21 years old she's honed a preternaturally worldly conception of her own.
From Carnegie Hall to the House of Blues, from the Apollo to Lincoln Center, her versatility and enthusiasm for new music has propelled her into a richly diverse musical career. An accomplished improviser who has performed with Nicholas Payton, Wycliffe Gordon, and Peter Apfelbaum's NY Hieroglyphics Ensemble, she's gained her widest exposure through two years of touring with Phish's Trey Anastasio. At the same time she's managed to excel in her studies at Manhattan School of Music and perform at top New York jazz spots with her own band. Unfolding captures her rapidly blossoming sensibility, a sound shaped by her love of Cuban, Brazilian and West African music, indie rock, funk and the post-bop continuum.
Whether playing an original, reinterpreting a standard or exploring a jazz classic, Cressman fully embraces the imperative to render the music in her own image. What her work with Secret Garden reveals is an utterly contemporary artist steeped in several traditions, an artist who sees no barriers between the incalculable accomplishments of the past and the urgent demands of the present.
"I wanted to put together an album that shows who I am, standing apart from all the sideman work,†Cressman says. "I thought this was a great opportunity to pull from modern influences and make jazz relevant to a larger audience, though the music reflects what's in my head, and wasn't tailored to a certain genre or audience.â€
Unfolding opens with "Flip,†a tune that serves as an introduction to Cressman's urbane aesthetic. It's a kaleidoscopic piece marked by contrasting sections, from the opening Lee Morgan Blue Note groove to a lilting bossa nova section to the power ballad climax with Cressman's ethereal wordless vocal adding to the already thick textures. While Cressman possesses a highly expressive voice on trombone, smooth and gleaming one minute and gruff and earthy the next, the album's biggest surprise is her crystalline singing voice, a thing of jaw-dropping beauty.
Part of what makes Unfolding such a enthralling listening experience is the way Cressman's voice and horn interact with each other. She turns the Fats Waller/Andy Razaf chestnut "Honeysuckle Rose†into a moody R&B seduction, complete with sensuous gliding solo. Her rendition of Mingus's gorgeous elegy for Lester Young, "Goodbye Porkpie Hat,†is clearly inspired by Joni Mitchell's version, though she reharmonizes it around the edges and sets the second half to a propulsive 6/8 Latin groove. She credits Mitchell's recording with inspiring her to start singing in high school.
As the title suggests, Cressman's "Echo†is built on interwoven contrapuntal horn lines. Opening like a classical etude, it blooms into a Brazilian-inflected soundscape. Even more striking is "Reaching for Home,†an original lyric Cressman set to an angular melody with vertiginous interval leaps that she executes with balletic grace. The album closes with another stunning original, "That Kind.†Joined by Peter Apfelbaum on tenor saxophone, the band gradually dials up the intensity as the rhythm section churns with a rocking maracatu groove.
Cressman was practically weaned on jazz and Brazilian music. Her mother is the esteemed American-born Brazilian jazz vocalist Sandy Cressman, who's assembled a vast treasure trove of tunes by Brazil's best contemporary composers. Her father is recording engineer and trombonist Jeff Cressman, a longtime member of Santana. While Natalie evidenced a real gift for trombone at an early age, as a child she channeled most of her creative energy into dance as a ballet devotee.
When an injury kept her off the barre for three months in her junior year of high school, she turned her focus to music. She quickly started working at a professional level, playing salsa with Uruguayan percussionist Edgardo Cambon e Orquesta Candela, Latin Jazz with Pete Escovedo's Latin Jazz Orchestra, spiritually charged world music with Jai Uttal and the Pagan Love Orchestra, Brazilian jazz with Sandy Cressman's Homenagem Brasileira, and global avant-garde jazz with Peter Apfelbaum and the New York Hieroglyphics. A close family friend, Apfelbaum stepped in as a mentor for Cressman eventually inviting her to join the New York Hieroglyphics at the 2008 Monterey Jazz Festival.
Taking advantage of the Bay Area's many musical opportunities, she earned a spot in virtually every one the region's elite high school ensembles, including the Monterey Jazz Festival's Next Generation Jazz Orchestra, the GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles, and the SFJAZZ High School All-Stars. Earning a scholarship to the Manhattan School of Music would be heady stuff for most high schoolers, but in 2010, at the age of 18, Cressman joined Trey Anastasio new solo project. She spent parts of 2010-2013 touring with the stylistically expansive jam band, which draws on everything from blues reggae and funk to jazz and Latin grooves. Featured on a number of tunes, she also contributes horn solos and vocals on the live album TAB at the TAB (Rubber Jungle Records) as well as Traveler (Atto Records)
A self-described late bloomer when it comes to music, Cressman credits her spectacularly rich cultural upbringing for providing the creative fuel behind her rapid ascent. With Unfolding, Cressman leaves no doubt she's one of the most exciting young players on the New York scene.

Questions You Shouldn't Be Afraid to Ask Your Auto Repair Tech
Often, drivers are mystified by how their cars actually work. It's to be expected. Even an older car is a complex machine with many sub-assemblies that all work together to move it down the road.
As a result, drivers tend to be a little intimidated by auto repair and often tend to not inform themselves by asking the necessary questions of a tech or a garage. Too often, that ends up being a big mistake. Here are some examples of the kinds of things you really should know before any auto repair work starts:
- Does your shop work on any kind of vehicle? Of course, most shops can service a product from GM, Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Toyota and the other leading makes. Some makes, however, require a lot more training and experience, o ...[more]
4 Budget Friendly Ways to Improve Mom's Ride
Six Hot Tips on Cool Air Conditioning
Summer is here, and it's time to start thinking about your car's AC system! Nobody likes driving around in a hot, stuffy car, and a car with an AC system which only works marginally is somehow almost even worse than one which doesn't work at all. Let's go through a few tips which can help you keep your ride a little more comfortable this summer…
Remember a cars AC system is really a heat exchanger which moves hot air out of your vehicle, then replaces it with cold air. One thing you can do to help improve its efficiency is to leave your windows down an inch or two (if possible) when you park the car, helping to prevent excess heat buildup. When you start the car and begin to drive off, lower all the windows for the first minute or two to help move hot air out of the car more quickly, giving the AC system a chanc ...[more]
Benefits You Didn't Know About Oil Changes
Automotive technology has come a long way since the mid-20th century, and so has motor oil. A 1940s-era car didn't feature an oil pump or oil filter. Instead, they relied on dippers on the crankshaft's counterweights, which would then sling oil to coat crucial moving parts. Motor oils in those days weren't designed with detergents and other additives to help keep the engine clean; even with frequent oil change intervals, many cars would be in need of an engine overhaul by the time they reached 80,000 miles.
Today's motor oil formulations incorporate additives to suspend contaminants in the oil so they can easily be trapped by the oil filter. Here are a few other facts about motor oil you may not have known:

Born: July 14, 1995
Position: Winger
Highly-rated winger Serge turned heads during an exciting first year with the Gunners.
The pacy forward joined Arsenal from VfB Stuttgart last summer and quickly established himself in Neil Banfield's reserves, where he made six appearances and scored twice.
Germany youth international Serge also added another six goals in eight games for the Under-18s, including a sensational debut strike against Crystal Palace.
The teenager uses his raw pace and technical skill to great advantage and he was rewarded for his rapid progress with a professional contract in summer 2012.
"This season I hope to get some appearances in the Capital One Cup and even in the Premier League. I just have to try my best and hopefully train with them every day to develop myself," he said.
"It was a huge step for me [to join Arsenal initially] but I was delighted. I am proud to be a Gunner and I am just trying to enjoy my time here at the Club."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

If you suspect those bees of being at least somewhat Africanized I suggest that you give the bees more than 2 days to get accustomed to her as the Africanized bees sometimes will not quickly accept a new queen. I would check after 2 days and see if the bees are going after the cage aggressively or are calmly feeding the new queen. If all appears well then take out the candy cork and let them release her. Also check the entire hive for Q cells before pulling the cork. If they have started cells it's a sure bet they'll kill your new queen.
Glad to hear the requeening went well, thank heavens you had those gloves.Keeping my fingers crossed that you have good acceptance.
I've been following your experience! I thought I had it bad when I got 20 stings a couple weeks ago. So glad you have such awesome gloves! Doesn't proper gear make all the difference? I used to do it with just a veil, long sleeves and regular pants. Not lately.I wish you the best of luck with your new queen. Sounds like this is a hobby for you, right? It sure would stink to have a hobby become a dreaded activity!

Comeback Falls Short as Delaware Mens Basketball Falls to Charleston Southern 95-93 in Wild Home Opener
Related Links
Delaware (0-2) fought back from a 22-point first half deficit to take the lead in the second half and had tied the score at 85-85 with 5:08 left to play, but the Hens could never get back on top as the Bucs (2-0) held on for the win. CSU's Will Saunders missed two free throws with 10 seconds left to give the Hens a chance, but Jarvis Threatt was stopped on a drive down the lane in the final seconds as Saunders partially blocked the shot and Arlon Harper grabbed the rebound to preserve the win.
Blue Hen senior guard Davon Usher, a first-year transfer from Mississippi Valley State, starred in his BCC debut as he scored 21 of his game-high 30 points in the second half, dropped in five three-pointers, and pulled down seven rebounds in the loss. Delaware All-American candidate Devon Saddler (at left) added 29 points, Carl Baptiste chipped in with 12 points and a game-high nine rebounds, and Kyle Anderson netted 10 points but it wasn't enough.
Saddler, who ranked among the national leaders in scoring a year ago when he averaged 19.9 points per game, became just the third player in UD history to surpass the 1,700-point mark with his effort Sunday and moved into second place on the school's scoring chart with 1,716 career points.
Charleston Southern (2-0), which opened the season with an astounding 130-51 romp over Johnson University on Friday night, shot 67 percent from the field (23 of 34) in the first half to take a 60-47 lead into intermission.
Six different Bucs players scored in double figures as Saah Nimley led the way with 24 points, seven rebounds, and six assists, Matt Kennedy added 14 points, Cedrick Bowen added 13 off the bench, Saunders dropped in 11 points, and Arlon Harper and Sheldon Strickland each contributed 10 points off the bench. The 95 points by CSU was the third highest total ever against Delaware in the Bob Carpenter Center, which opened in 1992-93.
"It's a game of runs and obviously you can't let a team make a run and go up by 20 like Charleston Southern did today," said Delaware head coach Monté Ross. "I was proud of our guys because they battled back and made some big stops in the second half, but we had some costly turnovers and some poor shot selection down the stretch that cost us."
The loss was the second straight heartbreaking setback for the Blue Hens in the early going. Delaware fell at Richmond 71-69 in the season opener Friday night as the Spiders knocked down two free throws in the final seconds to post the win.
Delaware jumped out to a 9-2 lead in the first two minutes on Sunday but the tide turned quickly as Charleston Southern grabbed its first lead at 19-18 with 12:55 left and used a 42-13 run on the way to a 60-47 lead at the break. CSU shot 23 of 34 from the field for the stanza, including 10 of 16 accuracy from the three-point line. Nimley led the way with 14 first-half points.
The Blue Hens came out strong in the second half as the Hens outscored CSU 18-8 over the first seven minutes and finally tied the game up at 70-70 on an Usher three-pointer with 11:44 left. The game featured four ties and three lead changes over the next six minutes with the Hens knotting the score at 85-85 on three free throws from Usher with 5:08 left.
But that would be the Hens' last lead as Strickland answered with a three-pointer and Bowen followed with a layup for a five-point lead. Delaware cut the lead down to 95-93 on three free throws by Saddler with 15 seconds left, but the Hens could not take advantage of Saunders' two missed free throws five seconds later.
Charleston Southern, a member of the Southern Conference, will take on the Blue Hens again on Dec. 3 as they host Delaware in Charleston, S.C. Delaware will return to action next Sunday when the Hens travel to Hampton.

I am working on my BKBT..and I was wondering what methods are there to attach the F and earcaps on?
I plan to use Putty to attach the earcaps, which is a piece of cake...
BUt the RF....will drilling holee thru the helmet and the RF bracket and attaching it with a BOLT-NUT system be sufficient? I was worried that the RF might become 'loose' (not be able to retain the 'upright' position) after repeated adjustment on the BOLT-NUT system..

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 184
Brilliant idea for a zine. I have something I can write about for it ... I have a big tattoo on my arm (of an owl/branches/flowers) and one day at an old workplace I had it on show and a random woman I'd never met before said:
"you'll regret that on your wedding day. You won't be able to wear a sleeveless dress".
Because, obviously, as I'm a woman I want to get married, and want to have the perfect traditional wedding look whilst I go about it. *rolls eyes*
I can tell I'm going to love this zine, I feel better already hearing that other women have been on the receiving end of similar comments. I've had the "old and wrinkly" thing too, and the other week "hmm, Hannah, I didn't think you were the sort of person to have tattoos. That changes they way I think of you".
Perhaps I'll have more than one story for your zine! ;) Would you like a picture of the offending article itself, too? (I have two tattoos but one is hidden away on my back so doesn't tend to attract comment).
I only have 3 little tattoos but would love to write a little piece for you!
I wrote a piece for your other zine, Lust box, but never got a reply from you about where to send it, are you still doing it?
L x
No worries about it! I will just keep hold of the piece :D Let me know if you ever decide to do it as I'd love to help out.
I'll message you for the address and get writing for this one!
Laura Wilson said:sorry I never got back to you, the friendship with the girl I was making it with (and living with) got a bit messy and the idea for the zine got lost in all that. I really want to make that one day, but I can't do it now. urgh, I feel really bad for not getting back to you :(
But this zine is defintely happening! And I would love you to write something for it, it doesn't matter how many you have, there are people writing who have no tattoos! If you message me I will send you an address to send this piece too.
Louise said:I only have 3 little tattoos but would love to write a little piece for you!
I wrote a piece for your other zine, Lust box, but never got a reply from you about where to send it, are you still doing it?
L x
I will write something! Funny I was thinking recently about making a little flyer or zine explaining some things about my tattoos, and also explaining etiquette about how asking people you dont know the meanings of their tattoos isnt appropriate, so I could give them out to people just so i wouldnt have to explain my tattoos over and over again! (longest, most grammatically incorrect sentense ever) Anyways, I have five and recently got a cover up, and I think I could write something good for your zine.
Should we email you the text or create our own pages? I'm a fan of cut and paste, but I'm in Canada and our paper formats are different, so I'm not sure if you'd mind re-sizing on a photocopier or if it would be too much hassle. Lemme know what you think.
Awesome! I'll message you when it's ready. (I actually have two or three separate pieces in mind, so we'll see what comes out!)
I'll totally write something for this- is a little artwork okay? I designed my tattoo myself and never pass up a chance to show it off.
Wonderful. One more question: Is the format half-size? Quarter-size?
Laura Wilson said:excellent! I have quite a few pieces in mind too, so if you fancy writing more than one we'd be happy to include them all, the more the better really :)
Amber / Culture Slut said:Awesome! I'll message you when it's ready. (I actually have two or three separate pieces in mind, so we'll see what comes out!)

With just over one week to go, Manchesters Premier Mixed Martial Arts Promotion Ultimate Cage Championships (UCC) will return with their thirteenth installment UCC 13 Licence to Thrill at their home of the HMV Ritz in Manchester on the 2nd December 2012.
The British film industry had a very impressive year in 2012, with the new James Bond film becoming the highest-grossing James Bond film ever. The reasons for this sensational achievement was not only because the 007 actor, Daniel Craig, appeared in the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics as Queen Elizabeth IIs escort, but also because its the 50th year anniversary of the Bond Movies. UCC have decided to monopolise on this accomplishment by basing their thirteenth show on a James Bond style theme called License to Thrill. An ideal candidate to become the poster boy and take on the starring role as the UCC 007 is the former undefeated bantamweight and now current flyweight champion Pietro Menga.
Menga will defend his flyweight title in the UCC 13 main event against Steve Taz Mccombe.
Mccombe is a very experienced fighter with over thirty fights in his career and a fifty percent winning record.
This will be Mengas second title defense after defeating, at the time, the undefeated German future prospect Rany Saadeh in the main event of UCC 12 back in September.
Menga who is now 7-0-0 and fights out the The MMA Academy in Liverpool under former UFC fighter Jason Tan is considered by many to be one of the best flyweight talents in the UK and Europe.

Coretta Scott King
Coretta Scott King was the wife of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.. The couple met in Boston, where Coretta Scott was studying voice at the New England Conservatory of Music; they were married on 18 June 1953. The family moved to Montgomery, Alabama and then to Atlanta as Dr. King became a civil rights leader and a prominent public figure. After Dr. King's assassination in 1968, Coretta King established the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta; she also supported the establishment of a national holiday in honor of her husband, an idea which became law in 1986. Coretta and Martin Luther King had four children: Yolanda (born 1955), Martin Luther III (b. 1957), Dexter (b. 1961), and Bernice (1963).
In 1969 the American Library Association (ALA) created the annual Coretta Scott King award to honor children's book authors and illustrators of African descent.

I suggest you upgrade to the latest Backtrack 5 R2.
This is my first thread so try not to be so hard on me, complete noob in linux + my english is not that good. :P
I'm running BT5 R1 32 Gnome in VMware
I've been scouting the forums for the past couple of days now, trying to figure out some issues related to metasploit - framework3/postgresql and found solutions how to get it running. Though I'm not sure about my next line, I'll still write it down and let you re-quote me..
I've read on some other forums that this edition has no framework3 directory or is somehow integrated otherwise.. which brings me to the problem in my SET toolkit.
When I try running the SET toolkit via Backtrack -> Exploitation tools -> Social Enginering Tools -> Social Enginering Toolkit -> Set
At first it start normaly but when I try to update the metasploit framework via set> 4 or useing one of it's functions example: set > 1 next step set > 2 .... I get the following errors:
set> 4
[-] Updating the Metasploit Framework...Be patient.
[!] Metasploit path not found. These payloads will be disabled.
[!] Please configure in the config/set_config. Press {return} to continue
/bin/sh: line 0: cd: False/: No such file or directory
At revision 1207.[*] Metasploit has successfully updated!
set> 2
[!] Sorry. Metasploit was not found. This feature does not work properly without Metasploit.
Press {return} to go back to the main menu.
Based on the info the error gives me I've tryed configureing the set_config file to point to a dif. directory with no luck example:
I opened the set_config file with kate and edited the following lines with no success:
# DEFINE THE PATH TO METASPLOIT HERE, FOR EXAMPLE /pentest/exploits/framework3
#(this is the default path of set_config for metasploit which I dont have so basically I presumed this was the problem - tryed dif. installations of framework3, but the directory doesn't aper as such)
# (tryed changed it to this default, based on my version and what I found in my files, useing the locate command to find other frameworks but it doesn't work)
I have allso tryed useing dif. directories like : /pentest/exploits/framework2/ and /pentest/exploits/framework/ (where the msfconsole is located) with no success..
so my questions are: what am I doing wrong, is there smthing else that I need to change like a database or smthing?
Note: Bare with me... I'm a complete noob so if you require any other data, please let me know.
Thanks for the anwsers!
I suggest you upgrade to the latest Backtrack 5 R2.
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
Metasploit is at version 4
locate msfconsole, and you will know its path
this is not a bug
thread closed

'The Sabres now have their entire roster under contract for the upcoming season.'
Archives for July 2007
Sabres agree to terms with D Paetsch
Sabres, D Paetsch agree to terms on three-year deal
'A restricted free agent, Paetsch was scheduled for an arbitration hearing on Thursday.'
Buffalo Sabres agree to terms with defenceman Nathan Paetsch
'The 24-year-old played in 63 games as a rookie with the Sabres last season, finishing with 24 points (2-22).'
Sabres, Paetsch agree to deal to avoid arbitration
'Prior to his time in the Sabres organization, Paetsch was a back-to-back silver medalist with Team Canada in the 2002 and 2003 World Junior Championships.'
Sabres agree to terms with nathan Paetsch
'Paetsch, 24, played in 63 games as a rookie with the Sabres last season, finishing with 24 points (2+22), 50 PIMs and was +10. Nine of Paetsch's 24 points came on the power play, and he amassed a career-best four-game point streak (0+4) from January 26-February 1.'
Paetsch, Sabres agree to three-year deal
'"It hasn't been a paved road for me, that's for sure," Paetsch said Monday after agreeing to terms on a one-way contract. Financial terms haven't been disclosed yet. "To have a three-year NHL contract and solidify myself as an NHL player, I'm ecstatic."'
Sabres' gaffes proving to be very costly
'Regier knows that as much as anyone. For all the mistakes he's made over the years, he's certainly no dummy. He's taken his share of lumps that come with being a general manager. Perhaps his hands were tied so tight he couldn't perform his duties the way he saw fit. But if he's compromised to that degree, why would he want the job? Ultimately, he was caught in the middle of trickle-down NHL economics. Everybody knows how it flows. It starts at the top.'
Paetsch signs three-year deal with Sabres
'Paetsch finished his rookie season with two goals and 22 assists to go along with a +10 rating. He did not appear in any of the Sabres' 16 playoff games.'
Sabres Sign Paetsch
'A source tells Channel 2 Sports that the Sabres have avoided arbitration with defenseman Nathan Paetsch and signed him to a three year deal worth just under $3-million.'
$6-million man — times four
'Roy, who played four seasons with the Rangers from 1999 through the 2002-2003 season — winning the Memorial Cup in his final year — was Buffalo's second-round pick, 32nd overall, in the 2001 NHL entry draft. He played much of last season centring a line with high-scoring wingers Thomas Vanek and Maxim Afinogenov. He'll play a bigger role with the Sabres this year because the Sabres lost co-captain forwards Chris Drury and Daniel Briere.'
Roy has millions of reasons to smile
'Roy was surprised at the length of the deal, which extends three seasons into what would have been his unrestricted free agency. Roy and agent Larry Kelly requested a five-year contract, but the Sabres responded Thursday night with a six-year proposal. The Sabres then increased the money Friday morning. Roy was hooked.'
Buffalo's Roy avoids arbitration with big contract
'The Sabres hope Roy, just 24 years old, can take the next step and become a top-line player following the free-agent losses of Daniel Briere and Chris Drury. Buffalo did manage to re-sign leading goal scorer Thomas Vanek earlier this summer.'
Sabres agree to terms with Derek Roy
'The native of Ottawa, Ontario, tied his career high with four points (1+3) against Montreal on March 2, and collected 11 points (4+7) in a career-best six-game point streak from Feb. 17-Mar. 2. Roy also had seven points (2+5) in Buffalo's 16 postseason contests.'
Sabres C Roy signs 6-year, $24 million deal, avoids arbitration
'The length of the contract is a major departure for the Sabres, who previously were against signing players to deals beyond four years. The Sabres philosophy is changing after they were unable to retain Drury and Briere.'
Deal struck
'Last July, the 24-year-old center agreed to the Sabres' qualifying offer that earned him $627,000 last season.'

Renee Erickson's Roast Salmon With Sautéed Radishes and Sorrel Cream
Satisfying and seasonal food in about 30 minutes.
'SALMON IS MY THING," said Renee Erickson. "When I started, I didn't really know anything, but I knew salmon, so I cooked a lot of it." Today, after opening three popular Seattle restaurants, the self-taught chef keeps coming back to the fatty pink fish. "You just get good at certain things if you love them," Ms. Erickson explained.
The Chef: Renee Erickson
Her Restaurants: Boat Street Café, the Walrus and the Carpenter, the Whale Wins and Narwhal Oyster Truck, all in Seattle.
What She's Known For: Elevating Seattle's homegrown seafood with just the right dash of French finesse.
In this recipe, her third Slow Food Fast contribution, the chef calls for roasting salmon fillets to flaky perfection and serving them with two bright, indulgent accompaniments: a sorrel cream sauce and butter-braised radishes.
"A lot of people don't know how long to cook salmon," Ms. Erickson said. "There is a window where it's unbelievable—and then it's terrible." To get the salmon to its sweetest spot, check on it as it cooks by pressing down on the fillets. Once thick pieces flake away under a bit of pressure, remove the fish from the oven. Then peek at the center of the flakes: Unlike the exterior of the meat, which becomes milky and opaque as it cooks, the interior should remain dark pink. That way, the salmon will come to the plate with its lusciousness intact.
The citrusy tang of sorrel leaves makes a fine counterpoint to the salmon's richness; cooking the sorrel with cream tempers that acidity just enough. Be aware, though, that as the leaves cook, they quickly lose their bright-green color. Don't worry about it. "It still tastes good," Ms. Erickson said. Plated with the pink salmon, it looks pretty good, too.
—Kitty Greenwald
Roast Salmon With Sautéed Radishes and Sorrel Cream
Total Time: 35 minutes Serves: 4
Four 6- to 8-ounce salmon fillets, pin bones removed
5 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups thinly sliced sorrel leaves, stems removed
12 radishes with greens attached, cleaned and halved or quartered lengthwise into bite-size pieces
More From Renee Erickson
Plus, Recipes From:
What To Do
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Season salmon with salt. Place fillets, skin-side down, on a lightly greased sheet pan and transfer to oven. Roast until salmon easily flakes when pressed on but remains slightly darker in color at its center, 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness.
2. Meanwhile, set a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Swirl in 2 tablespoons butter. Once butter has melted, add shallots and gently cook until translucent, about 7 minutes. Add cream and simmer until slightly reduced and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add sorrel leaves. Cook until leaves just wilt, 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and transfer everything to a blender or food processor. Purée until a smooth, uniform sauce forms, then season with salt to taste.
3. Wipe out sauté pan and set it back over medium-high heat. Swirl in remaining butter. Once butter has melted, add radishes and sauté until just tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
4. To serve, distribute sauce among four plates. Place roasted salmon over sauce and top with sautéed radishes.

the Reusable Fresh Snack Pack
We love the convenience of plastic snack and sandwich baggies but we hate the waste.
The Durable, Washable and Reusable
Fresh Snack Pack
TM is giving us the convenience with less waste.
We recently passed the 100th day of school and have been using and reusing the same sandwich bag all year...can your disposable bag do that? (That was last school year and guess what? We're still using the same sandwich bag.)
Hear some of the raves that we've been receiving, like this one...
"We just got our snack packs and LOVE THEM!!! When our friends come over and see all of them drying, they ask what they are, we tell them and they think they are the coolest things...we tend to agree! :) My 6 yr old knows not to throw them out too! Very exciting! I actually ate salad with dressing and cottage cheese out of the big one the other day b/c I forgot my container! Thanks so much!" - Shauna
and this one...
"I absolutely LOVE my reusable baggies! And everyone at my son's school is asking about them :)" - Jennifer
