Re: any 36' owners out there?
Hi Larry,
welcome to the fray. Sadly, my longest passage to date was from Long Beach Harbor up to my home marina in Oxnard, about 60 miles. This summer I plan on visiting Catalina Isle and that is also about 60 nm. Mexico is on the radar for me, then the South Pacific as well, but probably not with this boat.
Actually, I waiver daily on whether to take my C36 or to get a more purpose-built cruiser. I love my boat and it is equiped and outfitted very well.
BTW, she is for sale, but a bit more than what you are looking to spend ($59K). Have you looked at the C34? I have been told that inside space is similar, and they have a loyal following.
Good luck and let us know how you end up. Also, post and hit us up when you make it to the west coast.
Cheers, Bill
Re: any 36' owners out there?
Ok Ok. I know this is an old thread, but I just stumbled upon it.
I am very close to pulling the trigger. After years of researching and dreaming, I have decided that the Cat 36 is the boat I want. I am currently in Kansas, don't even ask, but originally from west coast. I plan on coastal cruising the west coast of US and Mex and possibly the Pacific islands. I am currently shopping yacht world and craigs list. Have missed out on a few real good deals, nearly steals. Plan on buying this summer and heading to Mex with or just behind the Ha Ha.
This post is basically aimed at MikeinLA, Montiendo and dgkiisenger. How long of a pasage have you made on your Cat 36. How is it holding up. Any major issues? I will join the Cat 36 organization when I finally purchase.
My big question, I am looking at 86 to 89 models. Do any of you know of one for sale in the 30k range that I have not become aware of through Yachtworld or craigslist. Maybe a friend or aquaintance that has expressed interest in selling?
Any way, for now, I must say I am envious of you beaing able to sail the west coast and enjoy the weather. Joining you soon.
|My wife and I purchased a 1993 Catalina 36 (hull #1217) a couple of years ago. We sail out of San Diego and up the California coast and out to Catalina Island. We really enjoy Liberty and have had a few problems but everything seems pretty accessable and so far have been able to repair or replace ourselves.
OK, I'll see you and raise you one. I'm on my SECOND Cat 36. My first was an '86 MK I that I lived aboard and eventually lost in a divorce and the second and current is a '91 MK I named Deja Vu because it looked just like the first one. She's docked in Marina del Rey, CA.
|I am a proud owner of a 1988 Catalina 36! Las Brisas has been with me for 5 years. She has been great to sail. I bought her in Charleston and sailed her around there for a year and then brought her inland. It is cheaper to keep her and gives me time and som extra $ to fix her up to go to the islands when the kids get a little older. I still get to sail her on a good size lake.
Hi, I'll chime in. I pick up my new-to-me boat on Thursday for the trip back to Channel Islands Harbor from Long Beach. She is a beauty named Wild Wind. 1988, hull #813, in pristine condition.
Anyone in my area?
Cheers, Bill

I'd urge you to consider checking out the Catalina 36 International Association. In addition to the other benifits of joining, With a 3 year membership, they provide a maintenance compendium containing manuals for the systems and components typically found installed on C36's on a CD. It also includes years worth of upgrade ideas, maintenance and DIY articles specific to the C36. Its great having copies of these on your PC so you always have them available even if you keep the originals on board. There is also a web forum and a e-mail list with access to other owners and some real technical experts on our boats. Its a very active support network to keep your boat in top shape and inspire upgrades and addtions to make your boating even more enjoyable.

Sure why not. Picked up my C36 Tall in Dec 09. Have had several great sails, some systems have already caused problems, some have been fixed, and I still have a ton to learn. Hope to have her until I retire and get something on the coast. So far we have not missed a weekend on her doing something. However, at some point I'm going to have to start taking care of the house again before spring gets here as there is no way I'm going to not be sailing.
|Hey - I'll play too! Just purchased a c36 in August 09 and have it on Lake Erie (for now). It's a 1989 named Lucky Duck and we love it so far. CaptKathy - my sister lives in Carnation out your way and we plan to visit next year to sail the Sound and the San Juan islands. I may need plenty of advice from you all!

Considering how expensive/crazy the gun parts market has been lately and feeling the need to build....I decided
to try making a home made knives as a less expensive and hopefully temporary alternative..
Watched a bunch of Youtube vids and tried my first one a couple months ago.
Came out ok, but it is definitely a learning process.
I decided to give it a 2nd try and built another Bowie, little smaller than the first.
Same process, 440C stainless cutout, grind, heat treat, and black walnut scales, blade length 5.5"
I used aluminum for the guard and steel pins in the handle instead of brass .
Getting the hang of the blade grinding process, I think. ???
I made some grind gigs for my belt sander to maintain a consistent angle,
Gonna work on the leather sheath, will post pics when I get it finished.
First one.
The second one.

I will be tutoring English at a University in Tijuana next year while living in San Diego. I am looking for a recommendation for a book I can read to help me teach better. It would really help if you had a specific book in mind because I don't have too much time for experimentation.
Also, I would like to teach abroad farther south in Latin America later on this year. I am wondering if getting a certificate is still necessary or would my experience be enough. If it is, would an online certificate mean more if I have this experience with tutoring under my belt? Thank you for your time.

Thomas Vermaelen says Arsenal must maintain their focus as they approach a potentially pivotal fortnight at home and abroad.
Arsène Wenger's side have made an unbeaten start to the Premier League season, climbing to third place on Saturday with an emphatic victory over Southampton.
Manchester City and Chelsea are next up for Arsenal on the domestic front but, before that, they travel to France for their Champions League opener in Montpellier. And Vermaelen has called for the same application in every game.
"We have to stay focused because there are a few hard games coming up," he told Arsenal Player.
"We have to play away at Montpellier on Tuesday and then we have Manchester City so it is not going to be easy. It is good for confidence, we are happy today but Tuesday is another game.
"The Champions League is always different so that will be a test as well, especially away from home. Manchester City are the champions from last year so it won't be easy. We have to go there and play our own game - I am confident we can get a result there.
"The team has a strong bond in the dressing room and outside as well. It feels good. All of the players, especially the guys who came in, look good. Everybody plays with a lot of confidence and that is good."

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by judgejudy27, Nov 30, 2012.
Who will win the Dance Gold at the GPF. It seems there are only 2 obvious candidates.
I really hope Virtue & Moir win as this is the one prize that has eluded them. However it looks like Davis & White events to take from the scores thus far, with Virtue & Moir possibly like last year improving and coming back at that after that.
Must have been my subconsious mind; I immediately clicked on V&M and couldn't correct the mistake. If the poll was who I want to win it would be V&M but I think D&W will.
well, with the power of your subconscious mind by way of freudian slip, v/m will win
V/M will win, it's obvious
I want VM to win it, but I think DW will.
I voted for V/M but that's more wishful thinking than probability unfortunately.
It would be nice to think it was open & not a two couple race but it will be between D/W & V/M even if there are errors.
I think and hope Meryl/Charlie will win
I think it may come down to the technical panel. If they are harsh and picky, then I think it could benefit V/M but if they are easier I could see it tilting the other way. That being said, I am wishing for V/M cause I'd like to see them win the GPF but I'm really not sure how to vote -- head or heart? Aw shucks, who am I kidding -- I'll go with my heart
I hope Virtue and Moir. But of course, it can be Davis & White, and why not Pechalat & Bourzat !
V&M are not exactly underdogs guys. They have never "owned" this event like D&W, but I think they will win. Head to head, I hope and believe the judges will score the PCS accurately between the two couples to reflect the difficulty and innovation of Carmen and the excellent interpretation displayed by V&M.
Hear, hear!
V&M have not won the GPF before, but that does not mean they are underdogs here. As the reigning Olympic and world champions, they are going to be the favorites here. So I voted for them. For Davis & White, I would rather see them regain their world title. GPF does not mean that much.
Yes, this will be more pain for V-M to lose in there home city.
I think untill WCh judges will respect V-M more, but for now i think they want to see D-W on the top, like this alwayse be, but usually V-M didnt give judges a chance to put them under D-W.
Will see what will happened this time. I wish V-M will win GPF, but think this will be D-W. But good luck to all skaters!
D/W will win most likely. They have much higher scores than V/M so far. I wonder if P/B might even be able to beat V/M here..
^If you look at scores over the past year, P/B are creeping up on V/M and D/W. I think P/B's high score this season is actually closer to V/M than C/L and B/S behind them. While I believe both NA teams still have the advantage, it's nice to see someone getting close(r) and making it more interesting. BTW, I don't like P/B's FD music this year.
I'd love for Virtue and Moir to win because they don't have this title yet but I actually hope they will peak at Worlds as per usual.
Wee... incredibly touch choice ... sigh.... I love watching both V&M and D&W. They are both fit and on top of their game. I will just toss the coin.
I'm like Carmen O. I think D&W will win, and I want V&M to win, but I did vote that way and gave it to D&W.
I think it's Weaver and Poje's year. My thinking is that their time is now.
Well, that was bitchy
D/W will win.
I would go there with ya ... but for a couple things
1) they aren't one of the choices
2) pretty sure they aren't going to GPF
but I do like the way you think.
I think Davis/White will win since their SD is better than V/M's and V/M never win the GP Final, for some reason.
They are first alternates. And I have locks of both Ilinykh and Katsplatov's hair along with some MIGHTY long pins. Do not underestimate my powers.
I believe you PeterG. Look what you did to Julia?
I have a fair bit more work to do in getting Kaetlyn to Sochi...
I'd love Meryl and Charlie to win it again as it's the one title they have that Tessa and Scott don't. However, at the end of the day I prefer them to win Worlds, unlike last year, so the GPF title may as well go to Scott and Tessa.
That's what I want. What I think? It's gonna be incredibly close. I'd love D/W to win the SD section as theirs is a masterpiece. It's harder to say with the FDs, it can go either way, depening on the performance of the day.
The title will go to whichever team manages to hit all their edges in the YP and the step sequences, in other words, the team that can manage the levels, as the judges will pretty much tie them on components. Remember last year though that D&W had a huge lead after Scott fell in the SD, and that V&M actually won the free dance once the scoring error was corrected. So anything can happen and something out of the ordinary probably will...
I'd really like to see V/M and D/W tie ... requiring duplicate golds.

A seventh place finish at the 49th Head of the Charles Regatta highlighted the fall schedule for the Canisius College rowing team. The team competed in four different events this fall, with the performance in Boston closing out the schedule.
"The fall racing is something that we do because we're competitive people and we want to race," said head coach Joel Furtek. "Fall racing by itself it doesn't lead directly to the spring, I can probably only remember one of my fall races during my entire career. But the way we entered those races, to struggle in the first and then improve in the second, take another step forward in the third and really shine on the big stage at the Head of the Charles, that's exactly how a coach wants to see a young program grow. To take that momentum of figuring out how to perform better on each stage is huge for us."
The fall began with a fourth place finish for the Varsity Eight and a 3rd place finish for the Second Varsity Eight at the Hobart William Smith Challenge on the Canal.
Canisius then rebounded to take second and fourth for the Varsity Eight and Second Varsity Eight at the Head of the Tonawanda the same weekend. The Griffs squared off with local rival Buffalo in the event.
Canisius' third race of the season was at the Head of the Genesee where the Varsity Eight and Second Varsity Eight took sixth and seventh respectively. Syracuse and Radcliffe (Harvard) took the top two spots at the Genesee.
The famed Head of the Charles was the final race for the Griffs' who moved up the pack from their 27th starting position to a seventh place finish against some of the nation's fastest crews.
The seventh place finish earns Canisius an automatic berth into next year's regatta after having to win a lottery to get into the race this season. Furtek thinks this year's success against some of the nation's top talent will help the team continue to make strides through the winter.
"I think [our performance at the Charles] guides our preparation in our development period where we spend six or seven weeks on the water just improving," Furtek said. "It's helpful to know your target as a student-athlete, so it's good to throw names out there that are nationally recognized against whom we wish to compete and it drives everyone. We're always going to talk about our MAAC competitors, that's our first and primary goal, but that next step is widening that out and we will see a lot of those crews again at the Knecht Cup, so I think it drives our training now as much as it does in the spring."
The Griffs' won't compete until their championship season until the spring, but they continue to practice on the Black Rock Canal in preparation for their run at the MAAC title after a near miss last season.
"One of the best assets we have here are the beautiful fall mornings here at Westside," Furtek said. "We're able to take a six or seven week period and focus on just development – development of our aerobic systems and getting a good base for the spring, and development of our team from a technical perspective – and we can do that without the demands of setting a boat lineup for racing. I think most coaches would do that all fall if we could. Now we can set aside the weekly concern for demonstrated speed and really do those things that pay off when it comes to March and April."


text: I was reading the Nfa and some ATF rulings and a silencer is defined as a device used to lessen the report of a "portable" firearm. In an ATF ruling it was ruled that semi 1919s are not "portable". So can one build a silencer onto the barrel of a 1919 legally? I emailed the ATF and they did not reply. Don't plan on doing this just thought it was interesting but I must be missing something right?

Help understanding my numbers
I am looking for some help in handling my situation. I enjoy reading/learning about my hobby, so I'm quite happy with some links but I am having trouble sorting through the amount of information (and misinformation!) to arrive at where I think I need to be.
My tank: 65 gal, 60 lbs flourite sand substrate, EI dosing dry ferts(see below), CO2 via Excel (may upgrade to pressurized in the future)
+/- 3/4 tsp KN03 3x a week
+/- ¼ tsp KH2P04 3x a week
+/- ¼ tsp K2S04 3x a week
+/- ¼ tsp (20ml) Trace Elements 3x a week
(honestly, I tend to dose a tad less as my tank is on the low end of the 60-80 gallon range)
So my problem: I have very soft water, of the readings I've done in the last few weeks roughly:
So I've recently started doing EI and was planning on weekly 50% water changes, but I've noticed a pattern with my water changes that I need to solve in a more efficient manner. Doing a ~40% water change took my tank from:
I have Seachem carbonite that I dosed 98ml into my 65gallon (a 50 gallon dose) to raise the KH back to avoid a low KH leaving me open to PH swings. This will usually bring the KH back up, but usually brings the PH along with it (and it shouldn't I thought?) Yesterday I got:
And today:
I have been reading a ton since I got back into keeping a tank - and I agree with the idea of not fighting my natural water more then I have to. I would like to let the fish to get used to the lower PH of my water (which isn't that low anyway), and only increase the KH enough to not worry about PH swings. (It is my understanding that the plants can tolerate the softer water as well as they will get their ferts mostly from the dry ferts I am dosing)
So what I think I need, is a better understanding of my soft water, and ways to deal with it. Things I'd like to understand better/change:
1) How much KH/GH do I need to keep the water safe for plants/fish and not worry about PH swings?
2) I'd like to find a cheaper way then Seachem carbonite as I'm using 1/3 of a $12 bottle every water change.
Thanks to everyone in advance. I appreciate many of you sharing your experiences and ideas !
If you are keeping soft water fish....
Your GH and KH are best at not much higher than about 5 German degrees of hardness. Some of these fish appreciate the organic acids that peat moss adds to the water.
If you are keeping hard water fish....
The GH and KH are best well over 10 degrees, and many of these fish are best when they are in water that tests about 20 degrees each GH and KH.
Research the fish you want to keep and set the GH and KH to suit their needs. Most aquarium plants are fine in either sorts of water.
To raise the GH, add Seachem Equilibrium. This adds calcium and magnesium in a good ratio. It also adds potassium. Maybe not enough to count as plant fertilizer if you only need to add a low dose of Equilibrium.
To raise the KH add baking soda. Carbonates are a buffer that will raise the pH.
To lower these values blend tap water with RO water. It used to be said that you needed a minimum KH of 3 German degrees of hardness to keep the pH stable. This is a good target number. The nitrifying bacteria use the carbon from carbonates, and if the level were much lower the tank could crash.
On the other hand a lot of people have stable tanks with KH of about 1 degree. Quite a few of my tanks have a substrate that removes the KH from the water. But I am only doing DIY CO2. Not enough to really alter the pH all that much.
Fish do not care about the pH nearly as much as people used to think.
The daily pH cycle created by the plants does not bother the fish at all.
Changing mineral levels does bother the fish, and can kill them. When you have set up the tank the way you want, prepare the water for water changes ahead of time so the mineral levels match.
What lighting level do you have? It seems like you're dosing for a high light/tech tank which may not be necessary especially without pressurized CO2.
I can't tell from your OP, what are your parameters of the actual water change water before you do anything to it?
Thanks Diana. In my reading I have been finding what you said - that fish are not as concerned about the PH as many people think. Many fish seem tolerate to a wide range of PH as long as they are adjusted to it. What people seem to do is get a fish that prefers a high PH fish and a fish that prefers a low PH without knowing it and have trouble keeping them together. What wasn't clear from my reading was how much KH I needed to prevent the dreaded PH crashes I read about. If you think I can safely keep it as low as 3 that would make it easier - I have been shooting for 8-10KH as a safe number from what I had been reading.
I have yoyo loaches, neon tetras, and mollies. The mollies may end up at a friends tank soon as I was unaware of their brackish preference/preference for harder water - and I plan to keep softer water more in line with my tap water. The neon's like very soft water, and the yoyo's will tolerate up to a medium but prefer a bit softer as well. So in terms of a target, I am shooting for soft water that I can easily dose my tap water into when I do a water change. I don't mind adding a chemical to raise the dh/kh when I do a water change, what I don't like is the idea of every water change cause these sort of ups/down while I restabalize it if I plan to water change weekly - that seems unfair to the fish. The better solution seems to be to setup a tank with water conditions close to my tap water (or that I can RELIABLY set it to) and find fish that like that.
From what I understand, using RO water is to remove GH/KH so as not to make changing the PH difficult from the buffering. Given my water is practically nonexistent in that regard, I don't see RO being a large benefit for me?
Sorry, it was a bit of a wall of text :) Tap water numbers:
Lighting is DIY 4x 13w 6700k CFL w/ metal reflector (http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=203066). I am adding excel daily as my CO2 source while I decided if I want to go pressurized CO2. That is why I am doing a tad less then the generic EI dose as my 65 tank falls in the low end of the 60-80 tank range and my CO2 is not a pressurized system.
I hope this makes sense. I was just trying to avoid adding my low ph/low hardness water which brings down the tank, then i dose chemicals to raise the hardness which seems to raise the ph more then I want, and then after a few days it settles back down to about 7.2 where my PH seems to hang out normally. Because my water water is so soft I will target soft water and reduce the amount of fighting I have to do with my water :) What I wanted was to understand KH better - and how much I needed to prevent the dreaded PH swings - and a better way to add it to the tank. Using Seachem Carbonite seems to raise my PH temporarily as well - but that may be because I was targeting too high of a KH (8-10) before. I will have to slowly adjust my tank down and see how it goes.
My tap water parameters aren't too far off from yours. I think shooting for an 8-10 KH is a little too much.
I still think you're dosing too much too often. That dosing schedule is for a high tech/light tank.
Yeah the 8-10 KH was what the LFS was recommending as a generic number - I believe I will target around 5 if that will be enough to keep my PH stable.
While I recognize excel isn't as good as pressurized CO2, I thought my light would be sufficient. Based on the CFL research Hoppy did here: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=184368
take a look at this chart:
he shows around 35 PAR at 24" for a 15 watt CFL mounted vertically. Now mine are horizontal and if you look here:
you can see that horizontal is less efficient - maybe by as much as 50%. So if I am only getting 35/2 or 17 PAR/light x4 I am 68PAR - and anything over 50 Hoppy classifies as high and I need to worry about CO2/ferts.
Don't get me wrong, I am totally new at planted tanks/lights/ferts all my experience was just fish and plastic plants before, so if you can help me understand please do. I just need to be able to understand to accept it :)

A New Zealand judge has taken the unprecedented step of banning news websites from naming two men charged with murder while allowing newspapers, radio stations, and TV networks to reveal the names of the men. Judge David Harvey said online media could not use the names or publish images of the accused, to prevent the public searching for the information when the case comes to trial. He said he was "concerned about Googling someone's name and being able to access it later." Obviously, anyone on the web can get the names of the accused simply by purchasing a copy of a New Zealand newspaper.
The two men are charged with murdering a 14 year-old boy while in the process of committing a robbery. The case, however, introduces new legal questions about what can or can not be placed on digital media. One also wonders what happens after someone gets the names from the morning newspaper and then uses that information online. Will they be considered to be in violation of a court order?

The Highs and Lows of Caffeine
Many Americans regularly consume caffeine, the most widely used behaviorally active drug in the world. But does caffeine cause more than just a morning boost?
Over the years, caffeine has been singled out as a possible factor in cancer and birth defects, among others. Here is a look at why most experts say that moderate caffeine intake is not a habit worth losing sleep over and advice for people who drink too much coffee and want to cut back.
What's New?
Energy drinks are the latest entry into the beverage market and perhaps the most potent way to get a caffeine fix. The popularity of these carbonated, caffeine-loaded drinks has skyrocketed since they first appeared on the market in 1997. They are particularly popular among the younger generation, including teenagers. Does the entry of another caffeine-containing concoction into the marketplace prove yet again that we are a nation of caffeine addicts?
The US Food and Drug Administration monitors the harmful side effects of energy drinks. Although some were serious, energy drinks are safe. As with other forms of caffeine, moderation and common sense should be applied.
Can You Be Addicted to Caffeine?
In a manner of speaking, yes. The majority of Americans regularly consume caffeine, a drug that acts as a central nervous system stimulant. It increases heart rate, boosts urine production, and raises the metabolic rate. The metabolic rate is the speed at which the body burns calories to fuel necessary functions like breathing. Anyone who cannot get going in the morning without a cup of coffee, tea, or a caffeine-containing soft drink knows all too well that caffeine can be habit-forming.
While most experts say addiction is too strong a word to be used with caffeine, researchers have identified a condition they call caffeine dependence syndrome. It is characterized by the following:
- Withdrawal symptoms, such as headache, fatigue, and depression
- Caffeine consumption despite causing physical or psychological problems or making them worse
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or control caffeine intake
- Tolerance to caffeine—not getting the desired effect with typical consumption or the need to drink more to get the desired effect
Is It a Habit Worth Breaking?
The idea of being dependent on caffeine can be unsettling. However, most healthy people who drink a cup or two of coffee, tea, or soda every day suffer no more serious physical symptoms than jitteriness, irritability, and minor gastrointestinal upsets. Why, then, have scientists long suspected that caffeine might contribute to heart disease, cancer, birth defects, and other problems?
The snag here is that much of the early research linking caffeine to various conditions was clouded by a number of issues. When questioning people about their caffeine-consuming habits, for example, many researchers failed to ask about caffeine sources other than coffee or tea, such as soft drinks, chocolate, and certain medications (see chart).
In addition, most early studies did not account for differences in methods of preparing coffee. For example, some research has suggested that coffee drinking raises blood cholesterol levels. Yet most of that evidence comes from Scandinavia, where coffee is boiled rather than brewed.
Another confounding issue is that even though caffeine and coffee drinking may not contribute to disease alone, they may go hand-in-hand with a lifestyle that does. One study, found that coffee drinkers were more likely to smoke, drink alcohol, and eat high-fat diets than those who do not drink coffee. So maybe it's not the coffee, but rather the cream or cigarette with the coffee that contributes to health problems.
Recent studies have failed to link only consumption of caffeine to heart disease or death. In fact, many observational studies have suggested that caffeine consumption may actually lower the risk of cardiovascular events and death.
Who Should Keep Caffeine in Check?
Some people would clearly do well to limit their caffeine consumption or avoid it altogether. For example, people with dyspepsia or heartburn should stay away from caffeine. It stimulates the secretion of acid, which can irritate the lining of the gastrointestinal tract.
Pregnant women should watch the amount of caffeine they consume as well. While moderate amounts (1-2 cups of coffee per day) have not been proven to cause birth defects, caffeine does cross the placenta. After caffeine enters the fetal bloodstream, large amounts can alter the unborn baby's normal heart rate and breathing.
Some research also suggests that large amounts of caffeine may decrease blood flow to the placenta, which may raise the risk of miscarriage. However, other research has not found a link between coffee consumption and pregnancy problems.
Women who breastfeed their babies should also avoid the substance. Although caffeine may make a new mother more alert, the caffeine passed to her child through breast milk may mean more time comforting a fussy child.
People with chronic headaches are strongly advised to limit all caffeinated products. While small amounts can help reduce a headache, regular use can cause headaches or make them worse.
Given the alert feeling that caffeine provides, those with anxiety or panic disorders should also avoid caffeine or limit its use. Caffeine has the ability to increase their anxiety and make symptoms worse.
Are You Contemplating Quitting?
Even if you only drink a cup or two of coffee, tea, or soda each day, try to cut back on caffeine gradually. Moderate caffeine users who stop cold turkey can suffer from withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, moodiness, and nausea. Instead of switching over completely to decaffeinated coffee, substitute decaf for half your regular blend for a couple days and gradually wean yourself. Or, alternate decaf sodas with the regular version throughout the day until you feel comfortable weaning yourself from the caffeinated version completely.
A Special Note for Smokers
Smokers need more caffeine to get a kick than their nonsmoking counterparts because smoking causes caffeine to be metabolized more quickly. This is one reason so many smokers get caught up in the coffee-and-cigarette habit. When a smoker kicks the cigarette habit, however, caffeine lingers in the bloodstream longer. This can add to the jitteriness and irritability that goes with giving up nicotine. Smokers who quit cigarettes may want to cut back on caffeine at the same time.

Some research also suggests that caffeine acts independently to relieve pain. The caffeine content of products may change, so contact the manufacturer for information on products you use frequently.

Awl righty then!
'You can't get much more concealed than that'
Police arrest naked man after he allegedly said he had a tool in his rectum
EL CERRITO, Calif. - A man was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon after police found him outdoors — naked — and he told them he had a tool in his rectum, authorities said.
The man was lying on a tree stump, masturbating beside a nature path, near a Bay Area Rapid Transit station Thursday, police said.
John Sheehan, 33, of Pittsburg, was initially arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure. But when asked whether he was carrying anything police should know about, Sheehan mentioned the tool, said El Cerrito Detective Cpl. Don Horgan.
"You can't get much more concealed than that," Horgan said.
Officers drew their weapons and firefighters were called to the scene. Sheehan removed a 6-inch metal awl wrapped in black electrical tape without incident.
Sheehan, who was paroled from state prison last week, was then booked into jail on suspicion of parole violations, indecent exposure and one felony count of possessing a concealed weapon.
"When you're talking about an awl or an ice pick and you're dealing with somebody who's fresh out of prison, it's a weapon. That's a stabbing instrument," Horgan said.
It was not immediately clear what Sheehan was on parole for. A person answering the phone at the jail Friday night did not know whether Sheehan had a lawyer.
Yeah........but was he bothering anybody.....Come on....can't a guy just lay on a log with an awl/ice pick up his ass, whippin' his wire in peace?
Sounds like police harrassment to me............
Okay... sorry, I cant resist. What an ASSHOLE!

The Keys to the Governor's Mansion: The Challenges and
Rewards of Women in Public Elective Office
This final session of our Study Group will focus on women in politics from the perspective of a national leader in the recruitment and training of women candidates, Barbara Lee and from my perspective as a candidate and office holder. There will be a NO HOLDS BARRED discussion about the challenges of decision making and the circumstances which tend to impact female candidates, about the election process as it impacts a female candidate, the fundraising, and most important the service as a woman elected to office.
The impact on family and personal life and the ability to decide when to get in and when to get out will be fodder for questions.

Hi everyone,
My name is Will and I'm new on the boards, but not new to the hobby. I'm guessing most of you don't know me, but some of you may. I live in Albuquerque, NM and have been in the 501st for about 3 years now with a ROTJ Fett. I've long been looking at replacing my armor and finally decided (after a few other sculpting projects that I have done for the mercs) that I can give this a go.
I'm going to be replacing all of my armor and will be chronicling the sculpt of my back plate.
Not a whole lot to report in the way of progress on this right now, but it's a start:
Large WOF template laid out over the wood.
meticulously tracing said template
cutting out the basic shape on the band saw, moments before destroying my 2nd bandsaw blade this year.
I'll be updating this later today hopefully with more pics.

Arthur Neef Law Library Director elected vice-president/president elect of the Michigan Association of Law Libraries
DETROIT (June 30, 2010) – Wayne State University Law School congratulates Arthur Neef Law Library Director Virginia C. Thomas on her recent election as vice-president/president elect of the Michigan Association of Law Libraries (MichALL). She will hold the position for the 2010-11 term.
As vice-president/president elect, Thomas will serve as a member of the MichALL executive board and chair MichALL's education committee, which is responsible for planning the organization's annual meeting programs and other activities that advance continuing education of Michigan law librarians. She will become president of MichALL for a one-year term at the close of the 2011 annual meeting.
MichALL, a chapter of the American Association of Law Libraries, was formed in 1979 to promote law librarianship, foster a spirit of cooperation among members of the profession, and develop and increase the usefulness of law libraries.
"On behalf of the Law School, I congratulate Virginia on her accomplishment," said Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. "She has done a remarkable job leading the Arthur Neef Law Library, providing students and community members with the best resources available. Her election to this prestigious post illustrates the high regard in which she is held by the community of law librarians."
Thomas joined Wayne Law and the Wayne State University Library System as the Arthur Neef Law Library director in February 2009. As director, Thomas is responsible for overseeing one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections.
Prior to her current role, she was employed as Law Library and Information Technology director at the University of Cincinnati College of Law, where she also served as an adjunct law professor. Previously, Thomas held positions at the University of Miami School of Law, Loyola University of Chicago School of Law and the Chicago-Kent College of Law at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
Thomas received a B.A. in philosophy and German language and literature from DePaul University, an M.B.A. and J.D. from the Illinois Institute of Technology, and an M.A. in library science from the University of Chicago. She has taught, lectured and coordinated instructional support in law and is currently developing a course in empirical legal research. The author of numerous publications and presentations, Thomas is active in professional and community service activities and organizations.

A warm welcome awaits you at this friendly and informal working distillery in Elgin, the capital of Speyside.
Glen Moray Distillery nestles on the banks of the River Lossie in the city of Elgin, the capital of Speyside, a region synonymous with malt whisky. Glen Moray Single Malt Whisky has been distilled here since 1897 by a small dedicated team of craftsmen. In over a century of distilling at Glen Moray, much has changed, however the ingredients, processes and skills of those responsible for producing Glen Moray remain constant#
Glen Moray is a small authentic working distillery with bags of atmosphere and real people going about their business – making whisky. Here you have the opportunity to experience the reality of malt whisky distilling. The delight of Glen Moray is that your tour guide could be one of the distillery craftsmen themselves. It could be the stillman or the mashman who welcomes you and shows you round, or even the distillery manager himself.
The great advantage of this is the authenticity of the introduction – each guide knows the process of whisky making like the back of his hand. So, at Glen Moray, you will gain an unforgettable insight into how water and barley are transformed into 'the water of life'.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
I was born and raised on the mission field in Africa along with my five siblings. My parents, Dean and Alice Jongeward (MSB 1946), met here at Multnomah, married, and launched into foreign missions from Multnomah. I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior as a young boy while attending missionary boarding school in Ethiopia.
In high school after a serious car accident took the life of my brother, I fully committed myself to God, making Jesus Christ the Lord of my life. It was this deep commitment to God which caused me to want to invest my life for whatever God wanted, ultimately leading me into full-time ministry and now spiritual and academic leadership at Multnomah University.
After my formal education at Wheaton College, Wheaton Graduate School, and Western Seminary, I spent six years as a youth pastor in my home church, West Side Baptist Church, in Yakima, Washington. I still enjoy speaking at youth retreats, camps, seminars, and conferences, and have a special love for youth ministry and missions. I have been involved in all kinds and aspects of ministry; sports, camping, teaching, youth ministry, small groups, missions, preaching, church planting, administration and leadership. Ministry is my heart and passion. I have a special love for cross-cultural missions, and have been involved in ministry trips to southern Africa, Eastern Europe, and Mexico.
I have completed all my Ph.D. coursework and am currently finishing my dissertation on "The Impact of Father Absence on the Formation of Christian Male Leaders" as a Ph.D. Candidate in Leadership Studies at Gonzaga University, in Spokane, Washington.
I joined the Multnomah faculty in the summer of 1985, as the Director of Student Ministries. In those early years, I also taught classes in Youth Ministry, Psychology, Personal Evangelism, Apologetics, Worldview (Philosophy), various PE classes, and was the player coach of the Multnomah tennis team. In addition to serving on the Academic Dean's Council (ADC) for over 20 years, I have also been involved in academic leadership serving as the Chair of the Arts and Sciences Division, Chair of the Christian Ministries Division, and helped develop, start, teach, and lead the Youth Ministries program and the Psychology Minor, phasing it into a major. I have served on numerous committees, helped recruit, train and mentor many faculty, and have loved teaching and doing administration here at Multnomah now for over 26 years.
I believe Multnomah University is the best place for me at this time in my life, to utilize my talents, gifts, training, and life experiences to make the most significant and strategic impact for God and His Kingdom. Multnomah's academic environment constantly stimulates my thinking and growth. The student environment constantly keeps me energized and desiring to serve others. I will never cease to enjoy hanging out with college students. Faculty friendships, camaraderie, and mutual collegiality are unsurpassed here. I love being here at Multnomah!
I married my wife, Debbie Taplett from Wenatchee, Washington, in the summer of 1976 after I graduated from Wheaton College. We have four grown children Abigail (married to Karl), Andrew (married to Lisa), Adam, and Allegra. I am very committed to my wife and family, and have taken my role as husband and father very intentionally and seriously.
I love people – meeting them, encouraging them, mentoring them, and working with them in ministry. I love to travel on ministry trips and on vacations. I love all kinds of sports, and have played tennis, basketball, and volleyball fairly seriously for many years, but most recently, due to sore knees, I now ride my bike. Some would say I am an avid bike-rider; I would say I do it mostly for recreation and exercise. But I do ride to work almost every day, over 20 miles round-trip to and from Vancouver, Washington.
In summary, my passions are family, ministry/missions, sports, and traveling. One of my personal highlights was taking my family on a six-month sabbatical mission's trip to Swaziland, Africa – living, serving, and doing missions as a family. It was one of the defining moments of my life and my family's. My wife and I really enjoy being involved in Living Hope Church in Vancouver, Washington.

Meet Eric Kearney
(Cleveland) - Democrat Ed FitzGerald and his new running mate Eric Kearney toured the state today in a number of campaign stops that included Cleveland, Columbus, and Youngstown.
In the race for governor, FitzGerald said recent polls are looking good, showing him even with Republican Governor John Kasich or slightly ahead.
Speaking at the Laborers 310 Hall in midtown Cleveland, FitzGerald said he picked Kearney because he wanted someone who shared his values, and the belief that government should work for working people.
Ed FitzGerald & Eric Kearney
Kearney said, when they are elected he hopes to be a sounding board for FitzGerald, receiving ideas from people and passing the good ones along. Kearney says he is overwhelmed, humbled and honored to be FitzGerald's running mate.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Mogilny, Aug 29, 2011.
Lexus sponsors that site. Plus...I like the 24/7 points. A well thought out concept....
One coach still has 5 non players this week. He must have confidence in his other 4 starters.
I'm the master of bye week management, I had 7 byes this week before I make a couple of changes.
So you plan on losing this week?
I guess my 4 starter byes week 7 is insignificant.
It's just a part of my long term masterplan. My bye week strategy during the draft was to either spread the byes as evenly as possible over all weeks or to focus as much as possible in one week, i.e. take alot of hits so tiny that I can handle it with my subs or to take one big hit and have full strength during the rest of the weeks. The objective was to avoid the situation in between where you have several weeks with a couple of guys gone and lose 2-3 games because of bye weeks. Or maybe I just forgot to check the bye weeks during the draft and came up with this crap afterwards, I don't remember.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Something I would do........... Yours is a good strategy. I decided that I'd rather just spread it around.
2nd week in a row...my backup QB got more fantasy points than Drew Brees... Drew finished this week with a respectable 24.36 while..................... Matt Cassel got 35.48 points...........He may be the top guy this week... Shame somebody out there doesn't need a good QB and would be willing to trade... :winner_first_h4h: TRADER NEMO is ready to make deals.......
I'm thru with Cassel. I took best player available. And they all have byes week 7.
3 Quarterbacks. 2 of them have big weeks and I choose the guy that gets me -.74 Looks like its that type of season...
I don't get it. Cassel is on Nemo's team. :nerd2:
I've got him on my other team. Doing nothing for 4 weeks.
Hester or Titus Young tonight? Tempted to go with Hester cuz he pulls off big plays. On the other hand, this could be a breakout game for Young with the focus on CJ. If my memory serves correctly (it's been a very long time), some Lions have had great games on Monday night.
You're going to need 2 TDs from one of them....very unlikely.
Yeah, I know. Decided on Hester
I'd have chosen Hester too. Titus had 2 catches for 14 yards.
Hester dropped an easy one that could have been a long TD.
Can't believe I won! lol! 65.66 - 62.84 With 2.72 that's good for the smallest margin of victory of the season so far. Yay me! I'm pathetic but I have a winning record! lol!
5th place after 5 weeks...I'm enjoying this so far. I got a tough team to face this coming weekend... [SARCASM] I feel really bad about having less "points for"...than the 13th place team......... [/SARCASM]
Separate names with a comma.

Web Services
ARSC provides Web services for the benefit of project groups and individuals which have active accounts at ARSC. The services include Web hosting space, support for Web development languages, and database access.
Our services are provided in a tiered or graded system. A project which requests Web Services will receive a particular package of privileges and features depending on the needs and expertise of the project members. A package with more privileges and features will entail more project management responsibilities and will require more skills and knowledge on the part of the project members.
Summary of Service Levels
Tier 1 - Web Pages for Individual Users
The user receives Web hosting space accessible publicly at the address people.arsc.edu/~$USERID. The user uploads and edits the Web documents by logging onto an ARSC Linux Workstation (in person or remotely) and editing their documents within a web directory. Web documents may be coded in HTML or PHP. Data files and images may be served, but users serving large or numerous data files will be required to switch to a Tier 3 or Tier 4 web services package.
The content of all Web pages must be consistent with the declared project goals and must be approved by the project PI. ARSC will perform automatic backups on all uploaded data.
Tier 2 - Web Pages for ARSC Projects
This web service package is similar to the Tier 1 services, except the public URL will be www.projects.arsc.edu/$PROJECTID. All project members will be given access to upload and edit documents.
Tier 3 - Dedicated Virtual Machine (VM) with Limited Access
The Tier 3 web service package is similiar to the Tier 2 web service package with the addition of the project Web server being hosted on a dedicated Virtual Machine, and the public Web address will be www.$PROJECTID.arsc.edu. Databases (MySQL) will be available upon request. Aside from regular Web documents, ARSC will provide access to a cgi-bin, as well as read access to access logs, error logs, and the Web server configuration files. Projects may also request publicly-accessible, read-only mounts of directories in their $ARCHIVE or /project folders.
Tier 4 - Dedicated VM with Enhanced Access
The Tier 4 web service package is the same as the Tier 3 service package, with the added capability of project members login access directly to the Virtual Machine through SSH. In addition, projects may request additional RHEL distributed Apache modules.
Furthermore, project members will have permissions to directly modify their Apache configuration files. This should be done with caution, and projects will be expected to repair any damage done to their own configuration.
Tier 1
- Log on to an ARSC system.
- Open a terminal window and change directories to /web/people/<<<your username>>>/html
- Edit the "index.html" page to contain the contents displayed on the homepage.
- Add other files in the /html directory and new subdirectories.
- Note: Files ending with ".php" will be processed for php commands.
Tier 2
Tier 2 access is the same described for Tier 1 above with your project's public Web files in /web/projects/<<< your project name >>>/html
Tier 3
- Log on to an ARSC Linux Workstation, in person or remotely through SSH.
- Change directory to /import/webservices/tier34/(project name).
The following subdirectories are available for editing and management:
|Read-only or Writable
|Publicly served Web documents and data files
|Publicly served CGI
|Server access logs
|Server error logs
|Server configuration files
Tier 4
- Use ssh and your ARSC username to log on to your VM at the address (project name).arsc.edu.
- Navigate the VM file system with standard Linux shell utilities.
- Edit files with your preferred editor (Vim, Emacs, Nano, etc.)
Most of the VM file system will be navigable, but the following directories are significant for editing and management:
|Read-only or Writable
|Publicly served Web documents and data files
|Publicly served CGI documents
|Apache server access and error logs
|Apache server configuration files
Because Tier 4 users are given access to edit the Apache server configuration files, they are responsible for their content and for ensuring the files are properly structured for the needs of the project Web site.

FOX's Cameron qualified Bush's comment that "I don't think you can win" the war on terror; overstated Edwards's response
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
FOX News Channel chief political correspondent Carl Cameron worked overtime on August 30 to quell conservative anxiety, after President George W. Bush commented earlier that day that "I don't think you can win" the war on terror.
On FOX News Channel's Special Report with Brit Hume, while reporting Senator John Edwards's response to Bush's remark, Cameron qualified the president's statement in an apparent attempt to soften its implications:
CAMERON: [Senator John] Edwards seized on the president's suggestion this morning that he doesn't think that the war on terror can be won militarily, but that the U.S. can make it harder for terrorists to succeed worldwide.
But the president did not qualify his assertion with the word "militarily" when he delivered his remarks on NBC's Today show. During the August 30 interview, Bush said of the war on terror: "I don't think you can win it. But I think you can create conditions so that the -- those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world." The statement flatly contradicted an assertion he made just a month ago.
In contrast, Cameron overstated Edwards's criticism of Bush's comment. From FOX Report with Shepard Smith:
CAMERON: Senator Edwards ... specifically targeted the president for the suggestion that the war on terror cannot be won per se, and in an interview with FOX News he stopped just short of suggesting that the president's remarks constitute aiding and abetting the enemy. Here's how he put it:
EDWARDS [video clip]: It's a terrible thing to say. I mean, to suggest to terrorist groups around the world that America's president doesn't think we can win this war, it's just dead wrong. We can win this war. But we have to be aggressive, and not just aggressive rhetoric -- we have to be aggressive in a way that is strong and smart.

Wayne Law, Windsor Law partner for North America's first transnational environmental law clinic
DETROIT (Feb. 22, 2011) – Wayne State University Law School and the University of Windsor Law School have forged a unique partnership that will provide students with opportunities to gain practical legal experience in transboundary environmental law and Great Lakes regional issues prior to graduation.
|Wayne State University Law School
|University of Windsor Law School
Working together in the Great Lakes Environmental Law Center, students will serve their communities and beyond by taking on a wide variety of regional and bilateral environmental legal issues such as Great Lakes water quality and quantity, invasive species, air quality, renewable energy, and environmental justice. The law schools, based in Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, share a border on the Detroit River — the busiest international crossing in North America — and are major population centers for the United States and Canada.
"We are thrilled to partner with Windsor Law on the first U.S.-Canada environmental law clinic of its kind," said Nick Schroeck, director of the Wayne Law Environmental Law Clinic and the Great Lakes Environmental Law Center. "Wayne Law's already established Environmental Law Clinic, which works closely with the Great Lakes Environmental Law Center, provides an ideal base from which we will expand course offerings for our students on an international scale."
The first steps to this partnership are under way, with formal approval of a Windsor Law course expected by fall 2011. According to Windsor Law Professor Marcia Valiante, who helped spearhead the collaboration with Schroeck and Wayne Law Professor Noah Hall, two Windsor Law students under her direct supervision will get course credit for their work this semester with Wayne Law's Environmental Clinic.
"We have started meeting regularly with Professor Schroeck and the Wayne Law students and are increasingly excited about the many possibilities for collaboration that lie ahead for our future law students interested in international environmental law," Valiante said. "Our students at both law schools will be able to learn about another nation's legal system and take an active role in affecting environmental policy. The countries face similar environmental challenges that we hope to address in a cooperative way for the benefit of citizens on both sides of the border."
Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman and Windsor Law Dean Bruce Elman, who have collaborated on past projects such as the 2009 Boundary Waters Treaty Centennial Symposium, look forward to a closer institutional relationship as a result of this partnership.
"One of the main themes of Windsor Law is transnational law," said Dean Elman. "We have undertaken many initiatives in furtherance of this theme. The Transnational Environmental Law Clinic is the latest step in our commitment to offer our students meaningful opportunities for the study of transnational law. The clinic also demonstrates our commitment to Access to Justice and to experiential learning."
Added Dean Ackerman, "Our environmental law and international law programs at Wayne Law continue to grow. Our Program for International Legal Studies, less than two years old, is off to a great start, and we are quickly becoming a leader in the field of environmental law. We are thrilled to partner with Windsor Law to provide additional opportunities for our students and our communities to learn from one another and make a difference through the law."
Though the new clinic has only recently been announced, there is already a great deal of interest from students.
"I am excited by the opportunity to learn with our neighbors working out of Wayne State University and contribute to the ever-expanding and always important environmental protection movement," said Windsor Law student Cameron Hoos.
Wayne Law, which was founded in 1927 and listed as a 2010 Top Green Law School by preLaw magazine, also offers students opportunities for practical experience through the Disability Law Clinic, the Small Business Enterprises and Nonprofit Corporations Clinic, the Child Advocacy Clinic, Criminal Appellate Practice and an Asylum and Immigration Law Clinic. For more information about Wayne Law clinics, visit http://law.wayne.edu/students/clinics.php?from=7239.
Founded in 1963, the University of Windsor has close to 16,000 full-time and part-time students. The University of Windsor's mission is to enable people to make a better world through education, scholarship, research and engagement. Windsor Law is a part of the University of Windsor and offers students opportunities for practical experience through Community Legal Aid, the Intellectual Property Legal Information Network, the Law Enforcement Accountability Project, Legal Assistance of Windsor, Pro Bono Students Canada and University of Windsor Mediation Services.

I have added the Purple option to keep in the spirit of FSU polls. ETA - sorry I stuffed the options up. Very very very sorry. Make it if you like to go on your own you vote yes, if you don't vote no.

Ant Baker testing his new WARP F2013
British Slalom champion and NorthSails team rider Ant Baker commenting on the new WARP F2013:
"Since i joined the North Sails team i have been amazed at how every year Kai manages to improve the Warp.
For the 2013 Warp and especially the 9.6 i have found exactly that... progression but not just by a small amount, for me a huge development which will make it easier for me to race in the UK and on the world tour.
Amazing job to all the design team and Kai Hopf!!"

"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity."
"You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist."
"Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore."
"We are ashamed of everything that is real about us; ashamed of ourselves, of our relatives, of our incomes, of our accents, of our opinions, of our experience, just as we are ashamed of our naked skins"
"If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew."
"I sometimes ask myself how it came about that I was the one to develop the theory of relativity. The reason, I think, is that a normal adult never stops to think about problems of space and time. These are things which he has thought about as a child."
"Being generous, just helping one's relatives and being blameless in one's actions; this is the best good luck."
"The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder."
"Test a servant while in the discharge of his duty, a relative in difficulty, a friend in adversity, and a wife in misfortune."

The Vancouver Persian Christian Church began in the late 1980s. The congregation became a member of the British Columbia (BC) Conference of Mennonite Brethren (MB) Churches in 1999. At that time it was reported that the church had a membership of 27 and an attendance of 45. Seervan Dowlati, a Kurd from Iran, had led the church since 1990 and became the full-time pastor in 2000. Dowlati died in May 2002 and Faheem Moini became pastor of the congregation later that year. At the BC MB Conference annual convention in April 2004 it was reported that the church had closed within the last year.

With more than 67% of web servers running Apache, it is by far the most widely used web server platform in the world. Apache has evolved into a powerful system that easily rivals other HTTP servers in terms of functionality, efficiency, and speed. Despite these impressive capabilities, though, Apache is only a beneficial tool if it's a secure one.
To be sure, administrators installing and configuring Apache still need a sure-fire way to secure it--whether it's running a huge e-commerce operation, corporate intranet, or just a small hobby site.
Our new guide, Apache Security, gives administrators and webmasters just what they crave--a comprehensive security source for Apache. Successfully combining Apache administration and web security topics, Apache Security speaks to nearly everyone in the field. What's more, it offers a concise introduction to the theory of securing Apache, as well as a broad perspective on server security in general.
But this book isn't just about theory. The real strength of Apache Security lies in its wealth of interesting and practical advice, with many real-life examples and solutions. Administrators and programmers will learn how to:

Good book, but needs a new revision

Comments about oreilly Apache Security:
Like most O'Reilly books, it's well thought out and fairly complete. Unsurprisingly, it focuses on the standard LAMP stack, giving advice on building and deploying Apache and hooking in PHP and SSL. Ruby seem to be missing, and Perl is just discussed within a chroot environment. It discusses performance tuning a bit, in the guise of protection against DOS, and then moves onto issues in a shared hosting environment.Much of what is in this book is more general than just Apache, so it's best to consider this as a general security book for people running both Linux and Apache, and ideally using PHP and MySQL. It would be less useful to people running Apache on Windows and for people using less common languages. However, it is very good for the basics: * Installing Apache * Hardening Apache * Setting up chroot * Hardening PHP * Configuring logging and access * Understanding web attacksWhere it seems to lack a bit is: * It presumes that the reader will install Apache from source, whereas most these days will install from a package. More advice on hardening Apache in the SuSE, Red Hat and Ubuntu/Debian environments would be useful. * There is no mention of AppArmor or SELinux (which, to be fair, were pretty new when this book came out). A second edition will have to have these, as they are a key way to protect Apache against itself. * A few pages on how to use Suhosin to protect PHP applications would be good. * A section on protecting Ruby and one on Perl would be good. While it is certainly true that no book can cover everything, these three languages are the most common in the LAMP world and should probably be addressed, at least in passing. * While we're at it, a section on hardening MySQL wouldn't be out place, as the book is more of a LAMP book than an Apache book anyway.I recommend this book for the beginner to moderate admin, be they a web admin or in the security space. However, experienced people may not find much new in here. I would, however, love to see a second edition released.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hi there,
I have been trying to expand my knowledge, so I have set a lab with the following configuration:
Fully Patched Windows 2003 Server (Acting as a domain controller)
Unpatched Client Machine (XP), which is joined to the above domain.
Since I have been able to compromise the client machine, I was able to get the local hashes, and have been able to crack them using rainbow tables. My question is there any possible way to get Domain Passwords.
I have read about "CacheDump" tool, which will get the hashes for the last 10 logged in users (something called MSCash), and have been able to get the hashes. However, seems that these hashes cannot be cracked using rainbow table, as they came in the following format:
So any idea on the above scenario ?Code:username:hash(32 chacter):domain:FQDN
Thanks alot in advance,

Casares is a beautiful, tiny town in the Costa del Sol with a long and rich history. Its roots go right back to Roman times, and it also has a strong Moorish heritage, which can be seen through a variety of interesting monuments and the striking architecture on display throughout the town.
Nestled on a hill, the delightful white houses spread right up to the very top where the crown of the settlement, the castle, is situated. This castle can be reached following a steep walk up the quaint streets, and although it is not much more than a ruin it is well worth a look. Nearby the castle at the top of the hill is the dilapidated but charming Iglesia de Encarnacion, a church dating back to the 16th century, and from here views across the valley below can be enjoyed.
There are a number of interesting things to do within the town itself. The Ethnographic Museum is one such activity, which includes interesting displays harking back to Roman times. The Roman heritage is enhanced through the common knowledge in the region that it was near this town that Julius Caesar was said to have been cured of a liver problem in the sulphur baths.
The centre point of the town is Plaza de Espana, a delightful square which includes a few quaint little restaurants and a fountain that provides pure drinking water. We would also recommend a trip to the village church of San Sebastian, which is situated right next to the Plaza de Espana, and is a small but charming building which boasts some stunning stained-glass windows.
There are a number of picturesque bars throughout the town, but it is primarily a peaceful settlement which does not attract a busy nightlife. However, the town is well catered for in terms of restaurants, and you will be able to enjoy plenty of different cuisines in a number of delightful establishments.
Casares is popular due to its beauty. The pure white houses and the calm and peaceful air of tranquillity mean that, although it attracts a number of tourists who visit to enjoy its calming properties, it still manages to hold onto its unique heritage and is a beautiful place to live. And although beautiful in the day, when it is lit up at night it is nothing short of spectacular.
Fairs are also important in Casares, and the major annual celebration takes place on the first weekend in August. Another important celebration takes place in the first week of September, and marks the day of the patron saint, the Virgen del Rosario.
Shopping is fairly basic, with no supermarkets in the town, but all of the essentials are catered for. However, for some more serious shopping we would recommend that you take a trip to the nearby settlement of Laguna Village.
As it is situated in the mountains, Casares itself does not have any beaches of its own. However, it is not difficult to find beaches within a short distance from the town, and Playa Ancha is perhaps the nearest and most beautiful of the beaches on offer.
Walking around the town is an activity in itself. Although steep in parts, the views from the various miradores are spectacular and you can spend plenty of the time wondering around and enjoying the scenery. We would describe it is a place where people choose to live to escape the fast pace of normal life, and to get back to something a bit more peaceful in a stunningly-beautiful setting.
Whether you are looking for a Spa retreat to recover from the stresses of everyday life, honeymoon retreat to celebrate your special day once again or just a romantic hideaway spot, we will be happy to make your stay with a very special experience at our luxury Retreat in Spain.

Or up to 14 Guests (Villa and rest of Retreat). Or by 16 Guests ( Villa + Casa Pino and rest of Retreat).
For your comfort you will have your own laundry room with washing machine, dryer, washing powder and ironing board. Cleaning can be arranged during your stay upon request for an extra charge.
Car with powerful engine is advised to get around rustic asphalted road. Please note there is a steep part of the road leading towards the property. But trust us it is worth it to get to your private Shangri-La. We can arrange car hire for you. You will be personally met outside arrival's gate and escorted to the office for quick completion of car hire which will really help to avoid the queues in overcrowded airport.
PLEASE NOTE - This property is mostly suitable for adult breaks (over 14) who wish to enjoy their special occasion or just relax in the private and luxurious setting. However, we are happy to accept younger children if the whole of Retreat will be rented.
Several great restaurants are only 2-7 minutes drive away frok the door step.
For those who enjoy driving along mountains with stunning sea views the local roads from the coast to the Retreat can be quite exciting!
