To the uninitiated, the title may seem like an oxymoron: after all, aren't hacks what network security is supposed to prevent? But if you're network administrator, this book's title not only makes sense; it makes a lot of sense. You know that a busy administrator needs a hatful of devilishly effective security hacks to keep your 12-hour days from becoming all-nighters.Network Security Hacks is not a long-winded treatise on security theory. Instead, this information packed little book provides 100 quick, practical, and clever things to do to help make your Linux, UNIX, or Windows networks more secure today.This compendium of security hacks doesn't just cover securing TCP/IP-based services, but also provides intelligent host-based security techniques. Loaded with concise but powerful examples of applied encryption, intrusion detection, logging, trending, and incident response, Network Security Hacks will demonstrate effective methods for defending your servers and networks from a variety of devious and subtle attacks.Network Security Hacks show how to detect the presence (and track every keystroke) of network intruders, methods for protecting your network and data using strong encryption, and even techniques for laying traps for would-be system crackers. Important security tools are presented, as well as clever methods for using them to reveal real, timely, useful information about what is happening on your network.O'Reilly's Hacks Series reclaims the term "hacking" for the good guys--innovators who use their ingenuity to solve interesting problems, explore and experiment, unearth shortcuts, and create useful tools. Network Security Hacks lives up to reputation the Hacks series has earned by providing the "roll-up-your sleeves and get-it-done" hacks that most network security tomes don't offer. Every hack can be read in just a few minutes but will save hours of searching for the right answer.Using just one of these amazing hacks will make this slim book's price seem like a remarkable deal. The other 99 make Network Security Hacks absolutely invaluable.
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The image on the cover of Network Security Hacks is barbed wire. The type of barbed wire pictured in the cover image was patented by Joseph Glidden in 1874. Glidden improved on earlier attempts at manufacturing wire fencing by fashioning sharp barbs, spacing them along a smooth wire, and then twisting another wire around the first to hold the barbs in place. Advertised as "Cheaper than dirt and stronger than steel," barbed wire was immediately adopted by farmers in the American west as a way to control their herds. The days of free-roaming cattle and cowboys were soon numbered, but battles over barbs were fought both in court and on the ranch. Opponents called barbed wire "the Devil's rope," and the Cole Porter song "Don't Fence Me In" mourned this change in the western landscape. Barbed wire was here to stay, though--in addition to agricultural use, it has become a ubiquitous component of warfare and is a common feature of high-security areas such as prisons.

A definite addition security/administration references
By ashok
I previously read the Linux Server Hacks (which is an excellent book) and following up with this book was an easy. Although some of the hacks overlap with the Linux Server Hacks, they definitely belong to both books. I particularly liked sections on ACL, systrace (hack ##4, #15, #16) and also the fact that an entire chapter was dedicated to logging which is very important in case of an intrusion/attack. Overall, 5/5 to this book.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
I would like to thank you for the excellent podcasts regarding parasites and viruses. Although I must say, I think TWiP is more enjoyable than TWiV. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Microbiology and a bachelor's degree in Clinical Laboratory Science from the University of Iowa, ultimately becoming board certified in Medical Laboratory Science with the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP). I am currently working as a Clinical Microbiologist at a 500 bed hospital that just recently got rid of the parasitology laboratory.
Unfortunately, I wish the United States put more emphasis on parasitology as it does in the other areas of medical microbiology. While I was a microbiology major, the Department of Microbiology never offered a course in parasitology. In addition, as a CLS major, we were only given a 3 day lecture on parasites, which was really just brushed aside. Your podcasts continue to increase my interest in parasites pushing me to buy many books on the subject to add to my already growing microbiology library. I must admit though, I have not bought the book by Dr. Despommier yet. I can easily relate to some of the patient cases as I was recently infected with two parasites (giardia and E. histolytica) while I was in small villages in Vietnam and Cambodia.
I was just admitted to the University of Texas Medical Branch as a PhD student in the Biomedical Sciences Program, with an emphasis in Experimental Pathology. During my interview, they found it interesting that I mentioned parasitology as an area of research interest.
I do not know if you have mentioned it in previous TWiV or TWiP podcasts, but I would like to inform you of the Infectious Wearables website, www.iawareables.com. I have bought several infectious disease ties from this website, which are always a conversation starter at family and professional gatherings.
Thank you and keep up the excellent work,

I'm learning so much about history today! :) Just before TWiP I was listening to a podcast about Scotland and Ireland and the Scotch/Irish
who'd moved to the American colonies a couple hundred years ago. I'd known that one of the most hated British regiments had burned churches in the South and that was partly why they lost the favor of the royalists there at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. I learned
today that they were burning Presbyterian churches because the Presbyterian ministers were wandering the land trying to gather support for the Revolution.
Not that that has anything to do with your podcast :) Other than I was also interested to learn the role of hookworm in the South after the
Civil War. The South was pretty screwed up economically to begin with. There really wasn't great wealth by that point, just a few people who
were very wealthy. At the end of the war the few landowners who'd had enough land to make money left. Even before the war there was a lot of unemployment because of slavery and slavery itself wasn't nearly as economical as the landowners tried to convince themselves. Except in
the few cases where someone had enough land to profit on a small margin. Kind of like farming today. It wasn't just the machines in the
north that made businesses more profitable. Even small northern farmers were more profitable because they could hire fewer freemen who
would actually be interested in doing the work without the payment of a foreman to beat it out of them. Thomas Jefferson even wrote about
the problems created by slavery long before the Civil War. Frederick Law Olmsted (yeah! the park designer!) has an interesting book (The
Cotton Kingdom) he wrote after traveling through the South just before the war. I expect hookworm was the final nail in the coffin. Very
interesting to find out!
Thanks for all your podcasts. They're all in my list of favorites!
I also meant to say it's been fun listening to further information about things I already know a lot about like hookworm, which my mom
always warned us about when I was a kid in the 70s in Texas, and pinworm, which I first learned about from friends with kids. Let me
tell, you, my friend were not happy to find out that most of our kids probably had pinworms! I did feel the need to tell them, though, since
it does happen occasionally that someone's kid gets enough of them to be an annoyance. The trick I learned from the email list of moms I
used to frequent was to peek at your kid's bottom while they sleep at night. Evidently you can see the adult females crawling out of the
kid's anus if you're... lucky?

Dear Vincent and Dickson,
I can't resist. In TWiP 12 Dickson asserts that sea otters eat only abalone. This is incorrect. They eat all sorts of stuff:
I spent part of my youth watching these critters and they are not only fascinating and an important part of the ecology, but they are decidedly gourmets as well. The reason abalone loom so large on the human perception of sea otters is that the abalone fishermen blame the comeback from near extinction of the sea otters for the decline of the abalone industry. There is vigorous debate about whether the sea otters or the fishermen themselves are in fact responsible for the decline of the industry:
Keep up the good work.

Dr. Racaniello and Despommier,
I very much enjoy listening to your TWiP podcast since I recently discovered it on iTunes last month. I particularly find the clinical presentation information and patient anecdotes informative. I will be starting medical school in the fall and will be sure to keep this information in mind as I go through my training.
There was mention in your broadcasts on Trichinella spiralis about the lack of current research being conducted on this parasite. I'm not sure if you are already aware of this article, but I thought you would be pleased to know that in the March 2011 issue of Nature Genetics the genome of Trichinella spiralis has been has been drafted (Matreva et al. Nature Genetics 43(3): 228-235.
Keep up the excellent work!
Thank You, Joe

Dear Hosts,
Did you ever considered yourself as addictive substances?
Some weeks ago a friend of mine suggested twip and twiv and now i find myself listening to your podcasts too frequently. There's a huge trove of episodes that i'm overdosing on (with horrible clinical effects as well as collapse of my social networks).
Currently i'm doing an MSc in infectious disease and combining this with your podcasts.
Thanks a lot for your effort, it is seriously helpful and fun.
A had a note/question to Dr. Despommier. In an earlier episode the genome size/gene content of Trichinella was discusses and it was mentioned that it has more genes than C. elegans. Last week i saw a paper in pre-print in Nature Genetics that discusses the genome of Trichinella (The draft genome of the parasitic nematode Trichinella spiralis Nature Genetics 43, 228-235 (2011). It seems to have fewer genes than C. Elegans. I tried to work my way through the paper but it's dense and a lot of data (I failed). I wondered if Dr. Despommier, with his experience with this bug, could shine his light on this paper. I'm especially curious if the paper explains longstanding questions of Dr. Despommier regarding trichinella (that maybe the authors hadn't thought of). It must also be good news for him that "his" animal has been sequenced and that scientific research is continuing to be done on trichinella.
All the best,

White Sands
National Monument
New Mexico
At the northern end of the Chihuahuan Desert lies a mountain-ringed valley, the Tularosa Basin. Rising from the heart of this basin is one of the world's great natural wonders—the glistening white sands of New Mexico. Here, great wave-like dunes of gypsum sand have engulfed 275 square miles of desert and have created the world's largest gypsum dune field.
The brilliant white dunes are ever changing: growing, cresting, then slumping, but always advancing. Slowly but relentlessly the sand, driven by strong southwest winds, covers everything in its path. Within the extremely harsh environment of the dune field, even plants and animals adapted to desert conditions struggle to survive. Only a few species of plants grow rapidly enough to survive burial by moving dunes, but several types of small animals have evolved a white coloration that camouflages them in the gypsum sand. White Sands National Monument preserves a major portion of this gypsum dune field along with the plants and animals that have successfully adapted to this constantly changing environment.
Plants act to slow the movement of dunes.
How the Dunes Formed:
The Tularosa Basin
The gypsum that forms the white sands was deposited at the bottom of a shallow sea that covered this area 250 million years ago. Eventually turned into stone, these gypsum-bearing marine deposits were uplifted into a giant dome 70 million years ago when the Rocky Mountains were formed. Beginning 10 million years ago, the center of this dome began to collapse and create the Tularosa Basin. The remaining sides of the original dome formation now form the San Andres and Sacramento mountain ranges that ring the basin.
Satellite Photo: Eroding mountains filled the Tularosa Basin 2,000 feet deep with sediments, including the gypsum forming its white sands
A Rare Form of Sand
The common mineral gypsum, a hydrous form of calcium sulfate (CaS04. 2H20) is rarely found in the form of sand because it is soluble in water. Rain and snow that fall in the surrounding mountains dissolve gypsum from the rocks and carry it into the Tularosa Basin. Normally, dissolved gypsum would be carried by rivers to the sea. But no river drains the Tularosa Basin. The water, along with the gypsum and other sediments it contains, is trapped within the basin.
Gypsum sand.
Lake Lucero
With no outlet to the sea, water flowing into the Tularosa Basin either sinks into the ground or pools up in low spots. One of the lowest points in the basin is a large playa called Lake Lucero. Occasionally, this dry lakebed fills with water. As the water evaporates, the dissolved gypsum is deposited on the surface. Even more gypsum deposition occurred during the last Ice Age when a larger lake, Lake Otero, covered much of the basin. The Alkali Flat area is the exposed bed of this Ice Age lake.
Lake Lucero.
Crystal beds
In wet periods, water evaporating slowly on the playa floor causes gypsum to be deposited in a crystalline form called selenite. Along Lake Lucero's shore and in the Alkali Flat, beds of selenite crystals—some three feet long—cover the ground. The forces of nature— freezing and thawing, wetting and drying—eventually break down the crystals into sand-size particles light enough to be moved by the wind.
Dune Growth and Movement
Strong winds blowing across the playa pick up gypsum particles and carry them downwind. As the sand grains accumulate into a dune, they bounce up its gentle windward slope, rippling its surface. At the dune's steep leading edge, sand builds up until gravity pulls it down the slip face, which moves the dune forward.
Four Types of Dunes at White Sands:
- Dome dunes. The first dunes to form downwind of Lake Lucero are low mounds of sand that move up to 30 feet per year.
- Barchan dunes. Crescent-shaped dunes form in areas with strong winds but a limited supply of sand.
- Transverse dunes. In areas with ample sand, barchan dunes join together into long ridges of sand.
- Parabolic dunes. On the dune field edges, plants anchor the arms of barchans and invert their shape.
Detailed Geologic History:
The gypsum dunes of the Tularosa Basin are geologically very young features, yet to really understand the origin of White Sands we must examine a substantial amount of geologic history. This summary is intended to give a more detailed look at the major events that contributed to the formation of the world's largest gypsum dune field.
1. The Permian Sea
The gypsum that makes up White Sands is ultimately derived from marine rocks. Shallow seas covered much of New Mexico throughout the Paleozoic Era (570-245) million years ago). Marine deposits as old as 500 million years are present in the San Andres Mountains, but by far the most abundant sedimentary rocks in southern New Mexico are Permian in age (290-245 Ma). In the Permian Period North America was part of a great megacontinent called Pangaea, and present day New Mexico was submerged in a tropical sea just south of the equator. The limestone mountains at Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks represent the remains of a large barrier reef that was part of this Permian sea. In the middle of the Permian Period there was a major fall in sea level, causing vast stretches of water across southern New Mexico to nearly dry up. It was during this drying-up phase that large quantities of gypsum rock were deposited.
Gypsum is an evaporite mineral, meaning that it forms almost exclusively when dissolved ions become concentrated due to the evaporation of water. If sea water of normal salinity is reduced to about 20% of its original volume through evaporation, calcium (Ca2+) and sulfate (SO42-) ions will be concentrated enough for gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) to begin to crystallize. The cycles of evaporation that took place in the middle Permian caused hundreds of feet of gypsum to settle out onto the sea floor. Much of this gypsum is found in the 1500 ft. thick Yeso Formation, which outcrops in the San Andres and Sacramento Mountains surrounding the Tularosa Basin. "Yeso," by the way, is Spanish for gypsum. Good roadcuts of the Yeso Formation are rare, but there are a few places in the Sacramento Mountains (e.g. mile 14 on Highway 82, just before Cloudcroft) where patches of white gypsum are visible, most of which has been leached out of the original rock.
2. The Laramide Uplift
Near the end of the Cretaceous Period (~70 million years ago), the Rocky Mountains began to form. White Sands National Monument is about 200 miles south of the Rockies, but the same compressional forces that formed the Rocky Mountains also uplifted the marine rocks in southern New Mexico. The cause of the Rocky Mountain uplift (known as the "Laramide orogeny") is not entirely known, but most geologists believe a change in the geometry of tectonic plates was responsible for the mountain building.
The surface of the Earth is divided into seven major "plates." These rigid plates are constantly shifting, diverging from each other in rift zones (e.g. in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean) and colliding together along convergent plate margins (e.g. off the west coast of South America). When relatively thin (40-50 miles thick), dense oceanic plates collide with thicker, less dense continental plates, the oceanic plate will sink beneath the continental plate in a process called "subduction". Subduction causes a great deal of compression across the plate boundaries, resulting in the uplift of a mountain chain adjacent to the boundary. The Andes mountain range is South America is an excellent example of a subduction-formed mountain belt. In the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods subduction beneath the North American plate resulted in uplift and volcanism along western North America. Towards the end of the Cretaceous the angle of subduction beneath the United States became increasingly shallow, transferring compressive forces to the east. This eastward shift of compression is believed to be responsible for the formation the Rocky Mountains.
The Laramide uplift affected a very broad region, including the White Sands area. If it were not for this geologic event the elevation of southern New Mexico would be substantially lower.
3. Formation of the Tularosa Basin
The Tularosa Basin is essential to the existence of White Sands. With no drainage outlet, this basin traps and concentrates all the dissolved gypsum that comes down from the marine rocks in the surrounding mountains, gypsum that would normally be carried away by rivers or streams.
The formation of the Tularosa Basin is part of a large-scale tectonic event that began approximately 30 million years ago and continues today. Sometime prior to the onset of this tectonic event, the shallow subduction off the California coast ceased and a new, parallel-motion plate boundary formed (now represented by the San Andreas Fault). For reasons that remain unclear, this shift in tectonic regime caused enormous upwellings of magma from the Earth's mantle. These mantle upwellings stretched apart large portions of crust in the southwest, forming the Basin and Range - a geologic province that extends from southern Oregon down to northern Mexico. A linear arm of the Basin and Range, known as the Rio Grande Rift, extends from southern New Mexico into central Colorado.
As the crust pulled apart in the Basin and Range, numerous fault zones developed. Large blocks of crust subsided thousands of feet along these faults, forming basins in between fault-bounded mountain ranges. The Tularosa Basin, at the southern end of the Rio Grande Rift, is just one of the many basins in the U.S. southwest that have formed due to crustal extension. Geologists believe that much of the basin formation associated with the Rio Grande Rift occurred within the last 10 million years.
4. The Last Pleistocene Ice Age
The wet climate during last ice age (approximately 24,000 to 12,000 years ago) played a major role in the formation of White Sands. In the late Pleistocene Epoch, the Tularosa Basin (and much of the U.S. southwest) received substantially more rain than it does today. Cooler and wetter conditions enabled a small glacier to form on the north slope of 12,000 ft. Sierra Blanca, and much of the Tularosa Basin was filled with an enormous lake called Otero. Heavy rainfall flushed large quantities of soluble gypsum from the San Andres and Sacramento Mountains down to the Lake Otero. The lake became saturated with dissolved gypsum.
As the ice age came to an end, the climate of the Tularosa Basin became increasingly more arid. Lake Otero slowly dried up, leaving behind enormous deposits of gypsum. The relatively slow rate of evaporation, combined with saturated, muddy conditions along the edges of the lake, allowed the dissolved gypsum to crystallize as selenite "discs" and bladed crystals. These crystals are still forming today, but the majority of selenite at Lake Lucero crystallized as the ice age lake dried up. Following the evaporation of this enormous lake, large stretches of the Tularosa Basin must have been as littered with selenite crystals as Lake Lucero is today.
The wet ice age climate was critical in flushing large quantities of gypsum from the mountains down into the Tularosa Basin. In addition, an extensive clay layer deposited by Lake Otero is largely responsible for the dune field's shallow, perched water table. This shallow water table is not only essential to plant life in the dunes, but it also enables selenite formation to continue today.
5. Dune formation (reviewed and edited by Steve Fryberger, March 8, 2003)
It is not precisely known when gypsum dune formation began in the Tularosa Basin. Dating techniques by Stephen Stokes of Oxford University of a partly lithified, "fossil" dune terrain just northeast of the NE30 observation station indicates that some dunes may have formed as long ago as 16,000 years BP (before the present). This date seems a bit perplexing when considering that much of the Basin was probably covered by Lake Otero at the time. It is possible that the date is inaccurate, because there was so little quartz material in the original sample that could be used for dating (Stokes, 2001, personal communication). On the other hand, the NE 30 site roughly at the same level as the Lake Otero Highstand at approximately 3950-4000 feet above sea level. It is possible that there was a local evaporative period approximately 16,000 years ago which would have caused lake level decline, allowing a small dune field to form. Of course, most of the gypsum would have been released not during the lake high stand, but upon extreme contraction of the lake and the concentration of evaporites. Thus, the most reasonable thought is that the "fossil dunes" were undoubtedly formed at sometime after the Lake Otero Highstand—although topographic relationships allow this formation to potentially have occurred early in the process of lake retreat.
In any event, it appears clear from the limited thermoluminescence dates at hand, as well as regional geology, that a major dune-building episode in the region probably began somewhere around 6500-7000 years ago. Such a chronology would fit patterns recorded nearby at Lake Estancia and by other workers in the basin. The present White Sands dune field most likely did not begin to form until a substantial portion of Lake Otero had dried up. Some [fossil?] dunes northeast of Lake Lucero have been dated at 6,500 years (S. Stokes, personal communication). This date is most likely representative the large-scale dune formation event that defined the present White Sands. The present day dunes, which overlay 25-30 feet of gypsum sand in places, are quite young from "yesterday" to perhaps hundreds of years in age. Subsurface crossbedded dune deposits such as those cored by Eddie McKee in his landmark studies are probably more representative of the 6500 year time period. Clearly, further work on dating of the dunes would be very helpful. However, it can be safely asserted that White Sands is geologically very young, and that the dune field has probably formed during multiple episodes of deflation of Lake Otero gypsum deposits.
All of the gypsum sand in the dune field was formed by the breakdown of selenite crystals, most of which represent recycling of gypsum crystals from the evaporite phase of drying Lake Otero. These crystals occur in a variety of shapes and sizes, commonly twinned. All selenite is typified by the presence of mica-like cleavage planes. Expansion and contraction caused by large temperature fluctuations and periodic freezing serve to break up selenite crystals along these planes. When crystals become small enough to be transported by wind, further breakdown, and rounding will occur. Gypsum is one of the softest minerals gypsum sand will be broken down into smaller grains much more rapidly than quartz sand when transported by the wind. This effect can be plainly seen when comparing coarse crystal grains near Lake Lucero to very fine sand near the eastern edge of the dune field. Although very little new gypsum is forming today, wind erosion of the gypsum-bearing sediments of ancient Lake Otero continues, along with the breakdown of the small gypsum crystals to produce sand. This process, rather than contribution from Playa Lucero, is the main process feeding the most active portions of the dune field. Indeed, the dampness, mud and evaporite cementation of Playa Lucero has reduced gypsum throughput so greatly that areas downwind of Playa Lucero are subregional scour areas where partly lithified gypsum dunes are being eroded due to insufficient sand contribution from areas upwind.
Gypsum sand formation continues today. At the same time, however, sand is being broken down into silt size particles that are blown out of the Tularosa Basin. Whether or not the net size of the dune field is growing or shrinking remains to be seen, however the dune field leading edge is advancing to the northeast.

The Interview Process
An interview is an exchange of information. It allows the employer to evaluate your personality, communication skills, attitudes, values, motivation, interests, and technical skills. The interview also enables you to obtain information about the organization in order to make an informed decision.
Knowing how to interview is one of the best skills you will ever have. The section of our website will provide you with steps to effective preparation, success on the interview day and effective follow-up.
Quick Links
Informational Interviews
An informational interview is a meeting where you, the job seeker, talks with an individual who will provide insight into an industry, career, or organization. You can use the interview to ask for career advice and information, but not a job. These meetings can help you…
- Explore a new industry
- Learn about the organization (which will help you with cover letters and interviewing)
- Get your foot in the door
- Expand your network (and get referrals)
- Practice your networking skills
- Find a mentor
Remember, in an informational interview, YOU are the interviewer. You are not asking for a job; you are asking for information and advice.

Thanks for sharing ... I think.
Schools are really getting paranoid about visitors, especially with the recent shootings. But their security is far from effective.
I send staff into schools to evaluate children. A couple of weeks ago one of my practicum students was accosted by an assistant superintendent because she was not wearing a badge. She showed her driver's license (Canadian) and got more flak. The office was eventually called to confirm that she worked for me. She had been going to this same school for 6 months. I had forgotten about making her a badge, until this incident.
I took a digital photo of her. Loaded it onto my computer. Printed up a copy of the badge I created a couple of years ago on Word. Stuck it in one of those inexpensive plastic holders, and gave it to her.
The school is now happy because she has a "badge."

Arsène Wenger believes Saturday's north London derby victory over Tottenham will help rebuild confidence in his "special" team.
For the second successive season, Arsenal came from behind to record a thrilling 5-2 win against their rivals at Emirates Stadium.
Their victory in the corresponding fixture last term had a galvanising effect, and Wenger believes this result will have a similar impact.
"We have shown quality, spirit and a lot of movement, and that is what we want from our team," he told Arsenal Player.
"The result will help to rebuild belief completely again. There is something special in this team and I am happy that will come out when they play with complete confidence.
"I am confident [it will be a platform]. Let's be consistent. We will gain some belief and confidence from this result, and we will transfer that into our next game and show the same performance."
Wenger was delighted to see his free-scoring side continue their good form in front of goal against Tottenham, and says it bodes well for the future.
"I believe it is always easier to correct the defensive side than getting your team to score goals," he said. "When you score goals you always have a chance.
"I am confident that the defence will be quite sound once everybody is used to playing with each other. We won many balls [against Tottenham] as a team and we want to continue to work on that."

If you consider the history of Iran, it's kind of ironic why and how the current regime got into command. In 1953, the CIA plotted with Iranian Army Officers to overthrow the popularly elected government that had taken possession of the rich oil resources long exploited by Britain. Fearing a precedent that might jeopardise Western oil interests in the Middle East, the CIA secretly returned the deposed Shah of Iran to power and restored the oil wells to British firms. As a result, the United States gained a loyal ally on the Soviet border. This finally led the Iranian citicens in 1979 to support the islamic revolution which promised them more personal freedom and more independence from western influences and dictations.Originally Posted by pedro
During the 80's, the US strongly supported Saddam Hussein who initiated the Persian Gulf war. In 1987 the US even took part in combat actions and destroyed large parts of the Iranian navy to support (military weaker) Hussein, who was a good friend who handled in the interest of the US back then. He just wasn't able to get the job done and evidently searched for an easier enemy (Kuwait) with equally rich oil resources to defeat. Just imagine Hussein thinking what he actually did wrong ... fighting against Iran he was supported by the US, attacking Kuwait he suddenly becomes the scapegoat.
Bush got Hussein removed, but achieved little else up-to-date in Iraq. I have doubts that he will achieve anything in Iran as well. As Iran is not even an indirect threat to the US, military action against a sovereign country are not justified, in my opinion.
I don't say this to pump up the blood of some patriotic posters here, but I think some of you lack the ability to critically question the motives of your government. It has also supported dictators in the past, as long as it served US interests. If humanitarian help is the main goal of politics, why are no troops in Sudan, North Korea, or a dozen African countries where millions of people suffer from hunger and dictators?

Sanchez Watt says self-belief is behind his excellent start to the season with Arsenal Reserves.
The 20-year-old is on a prolific run for Neil Banfield's team, failing to score in just one of his eight appearances this term after adding another in the win over Norwich on Tuesday.
Watt recently signed a new deal with the Club and believes his current form can take his Arsenal career to the next level.
"It's a bit more about confidence and the players I'm playing with at the moment," Watt told Arsenal.com. "We're all pushing each other and obviously I'm now getting chances that I'm taking.
"I have good partnerships with a lot of players in the team at the moment. We all want to work for each other, and they're giving me great balls right now. I just have to finish them.
"The next step for me is trying to push myself more into the boss' mind so I can either get on the bench or play in any way I can," he added. "Even going out on loan, playing every game. I just have to work hard for my chance.
"I'll do whatever is best. Obviously I have already spoken to the boss and he knows what's best for my career. Football is what I love to play and that is what I want to do."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

.50 cal Apex

Posted 09 January 2012 - 06:13 PM
so i was bored this weekend started to think about planning my voyage to LL5 and thought to myself hmmmm wouldnt it be nice to have a .50 cal apex for my nano? the apex2 seems sooo simple! so headed to lowes to get a few things. got 3/4 black PVC pipe and robber tubing to use as spacers. after spending sometime studying the apex2 i decided to make a prototype and see if the same physics would apply to the .50cal. so i put together a rig on the barrel made from the robber tubing and made a flap from the same robber tubing to use as the curbing device. i glued/taped everything in the 3/4 pvc pipe and mounted it onto the barrel. i took it outside and shot about a quarter hopper and it does give the ball a curve!!!! there were inconsistencies but i can attribute that my maldesign of the rubber. its not sercure in the apex and it doesnt have the same consistency as the apex2 rubber with has better friction and its contoured to the ball. now that i know its possible ill be making a more solid design. ill put up a shooting video this weekend by the time i get home from work its so dark cant really shoot a video.

best sexy babydoll au is really just to turn the man on. Wearing it just creates an excitement for you and your partner. Then do you know how to choose the babydolls?
So,ladies,be strategic. Instead of choosing babydoll that you think he'll like, pick items that make you feel sexy. When shopping, choose items that draw emphasis to the parts of your body you love, and play down the parts that make you feel self-conscious. And the first trick to finding a flattering babydoll is choosing something that fits appropriately. When you're caught between racy styles and romantic frills, think about what that guy you dated in high school would've drooled over. There are so many women who look in the mirror and think, "If only." If only I were taller. If only I had longer legs. Whether or not you plan to change your body over time, you should focus on what makes you look and feel sexy right now.
I'm going through a total babydoll dress lust thing right now. It's sort of a '60s/'90s inspiration mash-up. Coincidentally, I'm also taking a "rock band boot camp" at the Beacon Music Factory.

Bomb threat called into Manchester middle school
MANCHESTER - Parkside Middle School students got an extended break Friday morning when someone called in a bomb threat to the school located on the city's West Side.
Police said the threat was called in about 9:45 a.m. and the building was evacuated, with students and faculty going to the nearby Gossler School.
Precautionary measures were taken, even though authorities believed the threat was a hoax, because of the seriousness of any bomb threat, police said.
Sgt. Brian N. O'Keefe said the threat turned out to be a hoax and students and faculty were back to classes at Parkside before noon.

Hi there,
I noticed that Teflnet has a lot of forums on business English, grammar, tests, games, jobs, and even special needs. But there isn't a forum on teaching speaking to students.
In East Asian countries, especially China, Korea, and Japan, speaking is one of the biggest challenges to overcome. Most teachers are just taught to get there students to speak, but not to any degree of ability.
Hopefully we could encourage a discussion about teaching speaking, since it is often an ambiguous area in TEFL.

text: Hello guys. I have finished my ROTJ cape. I made it out of army shelter, weathered it, and it looks awesome. But I'm not sure if I should put the grommet on. I have seen TK409's diagram on how to put the cape on the collar armor via a screw. But would having a grommet on the cape make too much room between the stud and armor on the coller? I dont want to find out that one coller stud is unusually and awkwardly higher than the rest because the grommet is there. But I also dont want to find out that over time, the weight of the cape frays the fixed point and tears because I had no grommet to reinforce it. Please help. When I get the cape atatched, I'll post a pic as a thank you. :fettrotj

Posted by James McQuivey on November 9, 2010
Netflix announced its Q3 2010 earnings a few weeks back and the numbers were every bit as positive as people have expected. The company added nearly 2 million subscribers in the quarter, almost four times as many subs as they added the same quarter last year. Yeah, four times as many. While Comcast and Time Warner announced net subscriber losses. At the same time, the cost for Netflix to acquire a customer has fallen 26% in the past year. Funny how when you digitize the customer relationship and the product at the same time, all your costs go down.
The number I always wait for from Netflix is the percent of subscribers that used Netflix Watch Instantly in the quarter. It rose to 66% this quarter, up from 64% last quarter. And remember, this was while adding 2 million new subscribers, which means that new subscribers are adopting Watch Instantly at a rapid rate instead of waiting to get used to Netflix; in fact, they're probably joining Netflix just to watch instantly. This is, of course, why Netflix will likely offer a digital-only plan that subscribers can pay for if they don't even want to pretend to put DVDs in their queue.
Why is this important today? Because it was just now that I finally dug through the summary financial results to find this gem of a quote, something that was briefly reported when Netflix announced it results, but was not fully understood in most of the reports I read. I want to resurface it because this is a big deal:

Well, now that the last of the parts for my Boba on are on the way...I just had to start another project! I've begun work on my custom. I've got my ideas laid out for how i want to do the costume; so far I have finished the helmet (yay for my lens arriving today). Here is the 99% complete helmet.
I still need to properly install the lens, and I've got red EL wire to outline the lens with (a la Republic Commando buckets). I also think I need to do a bit more work with the RF assembly. As a note, the lights on the "comm box" on the left side of the helmet DO work. The GYR on the outside are constantly lit, while the BRG on the front side flash in a semi-random sequence.

|if she is trained well as you say she will do nothing to them , but better not keep them 3 alone in 1place , stay with them or separate them
German Shepherd and Siberian Cats
My GSD puppy is currently 15 weeks old. Sometime in September, I will be bringing home two Siberian Cat kittens who are 12-14 weeks old. By then, my GSD puppy will be approximately 26 weeks old (6.5 months).
I'm getting Siberian cats because they are considered hypo-allergenic and they are considered the most "dog-like" of cat breeds, supposedly getting along great with friendly dogs.
Is 6.5 months TOO OLD for a GSD to "grow up" with kittens and grow to love them as a fellow pack member?
My GSD does not have a very strong prey drive that I can see but does chase and scare the **** out of 10 week old Golden Retriever puppies with her style of play. On the other hand, she has great fun with active puppies her age as well as with a 5 month old Golden Retriever. She does stare intently at pigeons and always tries to chase them when I walk by them on leash.
On the other hand, she is fairly submissive and I have trained her to be calm and relaxed indoors. When I am in the room, she almost always assume the down position next to me and falls asleep or quietly chews on a toy.
She is crate-trained. She is trained in Sit, Down, Stay, Come, No Biting, Quiet, and the other basics, and getting better at them on a steady basis.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Whether the Grinch stole BYU's viewers or Cougar fans were just uninterested in the finale of a diappointing season, the TV numbers for the 2012 Poinsettia Bowl are just plain bad.
BYU's win over San Diego State drew 2.2 million viewers, down about 900,000 from the 2011 Poinsettia Bowl (TCU-Louisiana Tech) and down 1.4 million from the 2010 Poinsettia Bowl (San Diego State-Navy).
That's not good. Even if that's, in part, because the first three quarters of that game were a big, honkin' bore, that's bad.
And, yes, I'm surprised by this. If only because of the great, prime-time kickoff, BYU-SDSU should have done better. That's only about 200,000 more than BYU's appearance in the 2011 Armed Forces Bowl, which was in a miserable Friday morning time slot.
Utah State, on the other hand, not only improved by winning this year's Famous Idaho Potato Bowl matchup with Toledo but drew about 400,000 more viewers than the 2011 Potato Bowl, which the Aggies lost to Ohio. The Aggies were seen by about 2.8 million viewers.
For those of you keeping track, yes, USU's bowl game was seen by more viewers than BYU's bowl game for the second year in a row.
Again, I'm somewhat surprised. Not displeased because as I pointed out before the games were played I thought the Potato Bowl was the more interesting of the two.
This is pretty good news for Utah State. And pretty awful news for BYU.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/7/2007 (3620 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THE couple who took in and cared deeply for Gage Guimond for almost half his little life were proven foster parents with kids of their own. Why the boy who turned two years old Saturday, a day after he was hospitalized for the injuries that would kill him Sunday, was removed six weeks ago from this stable, safe and loving environment is the question sitting on the desk of child welfare authorities.
If the answer is that the parents were unrelated to the boy, Family Services Minister Gord Mackintosh has a big job ahead of him.
For decades, child and family services agencies have pursued the policy of "family reunification," which seeks to return a child in care to its family where possible. But what is possible cannot be seen as necessary. In this case, Gage had been in the foster care of a series of relatives since being born to a young mother in a family that had considerable contact with child welfare authorities.
He lived in at least one non-related foster home, the Selkirk family who cared for him between his first and second birthday. Those parents say they were told repeatedly that Gage would be returned to his paternal grandmother, who had him briefly as a baby. He was removed from her care after she went out drinking one night.
Gage's placement in June with his mother's aunt in Winnipeg, the home where he was fatally injured, suggests the Sagkeeng Child and Family Services Agency was more concerned with making a familial connection, however distant. It may have been difficult to foresee the harm that came to him. But common sense and abundant research on childhood development holds that a child passed from home to home as a baby has only a fleeting chance of making the critical, formative bond to a loving parent. Gage's best chance, at least six weeks ago, rested with the family he knew best, in Selkirk.
The decision to move him failed Gage Guimond in the most profound way. A series of investigations are underway and there may be a series of mistakes uncovered, given the layers of laws, rules and protocol. Paring back all those decisions, the case comes down to the most obvious question: Why was he taken from a stable, loving home?
It may be that a social worker made a singularly bad decision, rubber-stamped by a distracted supervisor. It may be that both were new and poorly trained. It may be that officials involved in Gage's short, tragic life felt pressured to follow an agenda that subverted regard for his best interests.
Manitoba, like Canada broadly, has undergone a sea change in its child welfare system over the last half century, moving from a time when white social workers imposed orders from a centralized, government-run agency to take away and adopt out native kids to non-aboriginal homes. Today, agencies are increasingly run and worked by aboriginal people operating on a mandate to keep families together, native kids in native homes and native communities. But the premise of preserving families and culture has become for some a political campaign that, at times, disregards a child's best interest or sees all of the interests as inextricably linked. Gage's Selkirk foster parents are aboriginal, but they were not related to the boy.
The evolution to culturally appropriate child welfare service was a long time coming in Manitoba, but in the end it happened too fast. That was revealed by a recent review of the system and the new aboriginal authorities -- a review launched by the grisly death of Phoenix Sinclair, who was returned to parents now accused of her murder.
The creation of three aboriginal authorities and one general authority was natural; the vast majority of Manitoba kids in care are aboriginal. But after four years of planning, that process saw agencies scrambling to hire aboriginal workers and prepare for a daunting workload. The review found staff poorly trained and ill-equipped workers struggling to meet the needs of children, to balance the demands of policies to keep aboriginal kids with aboriginal families, and to keep families intact, despite a dearth of resources. This has had devastating consequences for some kids.
There has been no let up for the workers. After Phoenix's death, they were ordered to make contact with every child receiving or recently receiving service. In December, agencies were ordered by the province to recruit 300 new foster beds to cut the use of hotel rooms as an "emergency" placement. The agencies did all that. Mr. Mackintosh needs to ask if speed compromised attention to detail.
During the rush, Gage was sent to a new foster home. Whether the great aunt met all the checks required is part of the investigations now. Mr. Mackintosh cannot think that the little boy's death can be explained by a simple lapse of judgment, though. This case, and the troubling findings of a provincial review that found a new system shot through with holes, suggest a combination of decisions that may stem from policies that put political, cultural and family concerns ahead of the safety and health of a little boy who needed something very basic -- a stable home. Mr. Mackintosh must ensure child welfare agencies know something equally as basic: Cultural and family interests are important but are fundamentally secondary to a child's interests.

I recently just finished a program where I received a B.Ed degree in foreign language education with and an A.B in French. As part of my requirements for the B.Ed, I taught high school French under the supervision of a teacher for around 14 weeks. I don't have any teaching experience past what was required for my degree.
There was also a combination for the B.Ed in Foreign language and a second degree in English, but I figured that the most important thing would be the education degree and teaching experience, so I wanted to take the chance to earn a degree in a language I like other than my primary language, since I already speak English. What kind of prospects would someone in my shoes have for securing a job teaching English (or even French, if I could, but I bet I'd face fierce competition with French natives..) in Europe? What countries should I look into? What are the challenges I'd face?

I have allways heard of hunting ducks in a field but i have never seen them land in a field that was not flooded.
I have done a lot of goose hunting in fields and they land all the time, and I put out duck dekoys every time but never even have them think about it.
Is this something they do in areas with less food in the water or is it more likely with a certine spec. of duck like mallard because we mostly have wood ducks and teal.

The small island nation of Bahrain may be known internationally as a modern oil state, but it has kept many reminders of its long history. Besides the glass towers and shopping malls of the capital Manama, Bahrain also has historic sights such as the Khamis Mosque, one of the Gulf's oldest places of worship, and the traditional architecture of the island city of Muharraq.
Iran is a wonderful, ancient country with a captivating history, a thriving culture and a delicious and varied cuisine. New visitors are greeted by a friendly, accommodating population, which is perhaps contrary to the Iran we are presented by the media. The capital Tehran is a bustling metropolis, with fantastic museums and cultural highlights, but the true draw to Iran is the beautifully diverse landscape – from stunning inhospitable desert to rugged mountainous regions and everything in between.
Jordan is a desert kingdom, which has been attracting tourists, traders, diplomats and refugees for 2,500 years. For anyone interested in ancient civilisations and the lands of the Bible, Amman is an essential stamp in the passport. After the heat and dust of Wadi Rum and Petra, there's welcome relief in the laid-back Mediterranean resort of Aquaba and the saltier pleasures of the Dead Sea.
Overlooking its own bay, tucked into the head of the Gulf between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, Kuwait City bristles with skyscrapers but has a history extending back more than 300 years. Its port once traded incense, spices and pearls; now, following the discovery of oil, Kuwait has found new prosperity.
Arabic and Mediterranean cultures co-exist in Lebanon, a small but astonishingly fertile and varied country sandwiched between Syria and Israel. Its location at the crossroads of competing faiths and ideologies has been the cause of much strife – but has also left an incredibly rich cultural and archeological legacy. Lebanon celebrates the 70th anniversary of its independence in 2013 – and no city knows how to celebrate better than Beirut.
Combine sea and desert activities for the perfect Oman holiday. Dive or snorkel the aquamarine waters, then relax under a date palm. Explore Oman's ancient desert forts and hike to lush oases. Climb Jebel Shams, Oman's highest mountain. No Oman holiday would be complete without visiting Muscat's mosques, museums and markets.
Visit archaeological sites at Al-Zubarah or gaze up at high-rises along the coastal Corniche promenade in Doha. Lose yourself looking for bargains to take home from bustling souk markets, then cool off on a boat trip to the islands surrounding the Qatar peninsula.
Explore the cultural heart of the Middle East. From the modern business metropolis of Riyadh to the holy Muslim cities of Mecca and Medina, Saudi Arabia offers a range of historical and cultural experiences. Roughly divided into five historical regions, from Hejaz on the Red Sea coast - the city where most of the country's trade and commerce takes place, to the Eastern Province.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a heady mix of Arab traditions and western consumerism, with sparkling modern cities lapped by the ocean and remote desert oases shaded by date palms. Admire ingenious skyscraper architecture in Dubai and Abu Dhabi or laze on remote beaches in Ras al Khaimah.

Hudson revives byway proposal
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent | September 05. 2013 11:18PM
Though the idea of the byway is hardly a new one, it has not been discussed seriously for several years.
Selectman Roger Coutu said a huge priority now would be to "convince the state to take a serious look at the Route 3 and Route 111 corridor."
"At a local level, perhaps we could build it as a town road," Maddox said. "I don't think that we, as a town, believe that Lowell Road is wide enough to deal with (future) traffic volumes."
"So what we'd be looking to do is either lease or purchase the state's land intersecting Routes 3 and 111," Ulery said.
While it's too soon to determine what final project costs might be, Carson agreed to share the board's concerns with legislators in Concord.

Wayne Law Review symposium to reflect on legal ramifications of 9/11
DETROIT (Jan. 6, 2011) – The Wayne Law Review is pleased to host its upcoming symposium, "9/11 and the legal landscape: A decade later," 8 a.m.-6 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 4, 2011, in Wayne Law's Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium.
The symposium addresses some of the major legal issues presented by the Sept. 11 attacks. Specifically, it will explore the role of executive power and counterterrorism efforts, privatization of military operations, the intersection of counterterrorism efforts and civil liberties, and the legal ramifications of Guantanamo.
Jeffrey Rosen, law professor at George Washington University and legal affairs editor of The New Republic, will serve as the keynote speaker. Rosen's most recent book is The Supreme Court: The Personalities and Rivalries that Defined America. He also is the author of The Most Democratic Branch, The Naked Crowd and The Unwanted Gaze, which The New York Times called "the definitive text in privacy perils in the digital age."
The symposium will be divided into three panel sessions featuring a number of renowned legal experts. (A full symposium schedule is available at the end of this release.)
"National security and civil liberties are key issues here in the metro Detroit community as many of our residents are of various nationalities and ethnicities," said Elizabeth Kruman, Law Review executive articles editor. "In addition, we're located on the busiest U.S. international trade border and have been home to a number of landmark national security decisions such the 'Keith Case.' We are excited to bring to Detroit a large number of experts with varying perspectives to discuss important legal issues raised in a post-9/11 world."
Added Louis F. Meizlish, Law Review editor-in-chief, "We wanted the attendees at this symposium to represent divergent views on national security and civil liberties. We are honored by the fact that this year's participants will include not only prominent academics, but also well-respected legal practitioners including the former general counsel to the Central Intelligence Agency, the chief federal prosecutor and chief judge in Detroit, and noted civil rights and privacy advocates."
The symposium, which is presented with the generous assistance of the Cohn family and the Wayne State University Dean of Students Office, is free and open to the public. To register for this event, visit http://events.wayne.edu/rsvp/wayne-law-review-annual-symposium/#rsvp or call (313) 577-8032. Contact Kruman at email@example.com for more information.
"I'm thrilled to welcome these nationally recognized experts to Wayne Law," said Gregory Fox, Wayne Law professor and Law Review symposium advisor. "We're looking forward to terrific discussion."

'There's little to the mystery of why this franchise has missed the playoffs five of the last eight years. Either the personnel isn't what the GM fancies it or the coaching fails to extract optimum performance from the players at hand. What prevents the organization from pinpointing the problem is the absence of a team president with the knowledge to discern the difference.'

So many times we want to know the weather, but when we see the forecast on TV or online, we think to ourselves, nahhhhh, our eyes must be playing tricks on us. We've got to hear it to believe it! That's when we sit down to listen to our Etón weather radios. Now that's our kind of weather forecast.
Going for about 50 bucks on Amazon - looks like it has decent reviews.
Oh yeah.! Give me Neil Diamond all night long...
Yes, I like to play nature sounds--birds, crickets, wolves, bears, elephants, etc., when I am camping in the backyard. The music really enhances the outdoor experience. And think of all the money I save on gas!
Got a Rukus in the last woot-off. I've been extremely happy with that decision. Now I'm getting music out by the fire pit or grill without tons of dangly wires. Sound quality is pretty good. Bluetooth connection starts struggling after 10 - 15 feet. Overall, definitely worth the money.
I have also purchased one of these the last Woot off and I am very happy with the speakers. I use it in the bedroom and it has enough volume to be too loud in a 12 x 12 room. I am in for anouther this time around for one out in the shop. I wish woot would sell the solar powered one.
Got one about 6 months ago at twice the price at Woot so I'm really PO'd to see it for $25 now. But it was worth it; works great while working in the yard, sitting around on the porch, etc. Surprisingly good sound if you keep the base boost on. Connects quickly and easily to any Bluetooth device nearby. Use rechargeable batteries and you're completely untethered as you move around the yard.
Got the Rukus a few weeks ago, very good value for $, easy to set up & use. Sound quality good with bass boost on, seems pretty easy on batteries. Thumbs up.
Just got mine - a white one.
As others have said, good sound, not terribly loud. Easy to pair to my cheapie Virgin Mobile LG Optimus Elite.
It is plasticy, but it doesn't feel cheap - has a nice texture. Back is rubberized so you can stand it upright without it sliding around. Obviously it's not for audiophiles, but for 25 bucks it's pretty unbeatable.

Saw this on the NFA website- Firing Line- sure looks like a good way to burn up a little 8mm. ammo and burn the paint off the M53.
OFASTS: Oklahoma Full Auto Shoot and Trade Show is an Annual event that Firing Line puts on here in NE Oklahoma. It is a spectator event where we have a "Main Line" where we have many "exhibitors" that set up and shoot their FULLY AUTOMATIC weapons. We have exhibitors that only shoot for a show, but we also have others who rent out their machine guns for the public to shoot. We have various targets to shoot at such as: cars, refrigerators, ovens, etc. As you can see in this picture, many of the items we shoot at have explosive targets, and we even had a dynomite crew scheduled to be here. It is alot of racket, but even more fun. If you are interested in more details concerning the shoot, you can check out the website at: Machine Gun Shoot
