Re: Drawing on Density or Contour Graphics
I was considering to post just the same same question.
My tentative solution was to apply some postscript

Will Power
Power finally snaps his losing streak that has extended to early 2012, which is still really hard to wrap ones' head around. He drove hard all weekend and did a great job in the race, especially with a charging Wilson at the late stages of the race.
Helio Castroneves
Helio did a great job of staying out of trouble and charging late, extending his points lead. He still has finished every lap this season! Truly remarkable.
Dario Franchitti
Four podiums in the last five races for The Legend. Where are the critics at now? Is it still Ashley Judd's fault? Idiots......
Justin Wilson
Justin Wilson finishes P2 despite all the carnage and anarchy. Justin was involved in the anarchy when he got spun early on. But no pissing and moaning from Justin, just some badass driving to earn him his best finish of the season.
Helio Castroneves
Despite being a winner, Helio is also considered a loser this week. Why? If he does win the title, some folks might look past his incredibly consistent season and pin his title on Race Control's decision at Sonoma.
Scott Dixon
Dixon has every right to be pissed, and his championship battle just received a little monkey wrench. But don't count him out for a second. Also, see Cone of Shame.
Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing
A very forgettable weekend for Sarah Fisher Hartman, with Newgarden being hampered by mechanical issues all day and first time Indycar driver Lucas Luhr never quite getting up to speed. On to Baltimore. Newgarden has been solid on street circuits this year.
Dragon Racing
They actually had a good team result going, with Bourdais hanging around the top-ten and Saavedra in the top-ten. Then Saavedra was wrecked but, Bourdais did finish in the top-ten. The problem? They went through 74 front wings in the process. Keep it clean gents.
Cone of Shame
Will Power's Crew
Okay, let me start off by saying that I am thankful that everyone that was involved in the incident between Will Power's crew and Scott Dixon walked away with their health in tact. No serious injuries to report. Having cleared that up, I think the call that was made by Beaux Barfield was right, but it was also wrong. According to a strict interpretation of the rule book, what Dixon did was a penalty. He hit a crew member and equipment, which is technically a penalty. But it's disappointing that a "probable cause" point of view wasn't taken. Not only did Dixon not blatantly hit Power's guys and the tire, but it was in his path at his pit exit by a crew member walking back to his stall. The crew member made no effort to get out of the way, giving Dixon a penalty and costing him the race. Having said that, I think it's rather presumptious to assume that crew members will start putting themselves in harms way to give rival cars penalties. That's a bit of a stretch. Many may disagree with my coning, so tell me who you feel should be coned. I can see all angles to the argument. The whole thing is a crock of shit, but don't let it hamper the fact that the race that was put on was a great race, one that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Let me know what you think.

Entertaining book with practical uses

Comments about oreilly Palm and Treo Hacks:
This book is a part of the "hack" series so topics are covered in small chapters, with one hack per chapter. The hacks are grouped by general topic such as information, games, multimedia, treo specific, communications, hardware, and the operating system (Palm OS). All of the hacks covered come with detailed step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and references. The book is an easy read as is the entire hack series. Most of the "hacks" are not really hacks in the hacker sense but more like cleaver ways to take full advantage of either the palm hardware/phone or the palm operating system. Some of the more useful hacks demonstrated how to watch video, replace the battery, adjusting all the settings available, and using the treo platform as a modem. Many of the hacks are focused on having fun. There is one section dedicated to the treo line of smartphones themselves. I tried the hacks on a Palm TX running Palm OS with built in wifi. Each that I tried worked. I did not attempt the ones meant strictly for entertainment such as the games but focused on the more practical areas. The most useful (imo) dealt with multimedia as the TX and Treo both hold large expansion cards so using them as both organizers and MP3 palyers makes sense. The book explained these areas in some detail which was quite helpful. If you want to get more out of your Palm device or have some fun with them, give this book a try. It is an easy read and well-organized.

I got one of the older ones when they were blue, hell I haven't put a roll of wire through it yet.
But as you mentioned they don't work well on thin metal like AK receivers, it's easy to burn through, I heard a few people say with a backer you can weld thinner metal but it's still difficult.
Where you going to get it from a store or order it online?
If online find out shipping, I was thinking of selling mine since I don't use it much, I was thinking $50 +S&H and I think shipping will be a little high because of the weight.

Hey I was looking for the shematic for the ESB led display. I went to braks buddy site, but link to shcematics but links do not work. So if any one has a working link of the chip set let me know.
I have a friend that thinks that he can make a chip board for the esb display a lot simpler and with less parts than what the schematic shows. but he was needing to know the chips that were used to see what the designer had in mind for making the sequence.
Thanks for any help

For Exercise, Nothing Like the Great Outdoors
June 28, 2017,
A gum biopsy is a surgery in which a small piece of gingival (gum) tissue is removed for examination.
Biopsy - gingiva (gums)
A painkiller is sprayed into the mouth in the area of the abnormal gum tissue. You may also have an injection of numbing medicine. A small piece of gum tissue is removed and checked for problems in the lab.
You may be told not to eat for a few hours before the biopsy.
The painkiller put in your mouth should numb the area during the procedure. You may feel some tugging or pressure. If there is bleeding, the blood vessels may be sealed off with an electric current or laser. This is called electrocauterization. After the numbness wears off, the area may be sore for a few days.
This test is done to look for the cause of abnormal gum tissue.
This test is only done when gum tissue looks abnormal.
Avoid brushing the area where the biopsy was performed for 1 week.

"what's the point of that crappy emergency tiller handle "
You can bring it home and use it to beat to death the alleged engineer who designed the rudder component that failed? (That was the builder doesn't have to pay unemployment for firing him.)

i will give Hunters their due, they are very swank. at my previous slip i was next to a Hunter 30, and i drooled over all the shiny bits. looking at my 40 year old Islander 29 in comparison made me feel very light in the jockstrap. however, with my 1960's over built hull, and in general built like a tank structure, in any but ideal circumstances i would feel a heck of a lot safer in mine...
Hidden Strengths

Your comment set me thinking about the rudder on my CS 36T, which I think serves as a good example of how design details set the good apart from the not so good. The 36T has a spade hung off a skeg and the rudder is about 2.5' shallower than the keel. The hidden detail is that the SS rudder post and flange within the rudder ends half way down the rudder - the lower part of the rudder is a sacrificial shell designed to fail if the rudder is subject to extraordinary forces. There are a number of stories in owner lore from the 20-25 year life of these boats, of owners reaching port with half a rudder, but not any I've heard of total rudder loss.
Sometimes what you can't see in a boat is as important as what you can. It wouldn't cost that much more to design a rudder to avoid total failure, but you can't add quality details, especailly hidden ones, like that to boats built to a bottom-of-the-market price point.
It is possible the CG instructed the crew to secure the tow hawser to the windlass. This could, and would, be done with larger vessels. The towed vessel, assuming the hawser is clapped on to the anchor chain, would then fleet out sufficient chain to make abrasion of the hawser a non-factor. The anchor windlass is also likely to be the most secure fixture on the bow. We now get around to the point raised by Valiente and Blue, most yachts have cute, shiny, and weak fixtures in their bows. A cruciform bitt, as pictured, provides the width of base to be securely backed below and distributes the load over a wider area of deck. The greater the area of contact with the deck, and by extension the backing plate, the greater the strength imparted.
The next factor to be considered is the tow hawser. When being taken under tow by a large hawser it is essential that a large amount of catenary be allowed to develop. This means a long hawser. Two to three hundred feet would not seem out of line, and perhaps substantially more. What cannot be allowed to happen is 'straight lining' of the hawser. A relatively small yacht, being towed by a large diameter hawser, will never stretch the hawser prior to structural failure on the yacht. The stretch we take for granted in our anchor rode will not be present in the size hawser likely to be passed. The anchor line, doubled up and passed through the eye of the hawser, can provide a measure of stretch not provided by the hawser and it is probably the strongest part available on the yacht.
The towing vessel should gain way slowly while taking up the tow. The weight of the catenary will bring the towed vessel into motion. Foolishness arrives when the desire to yank the towed, possibly off a lee shore, overcomes the benefits of a gentle strain. The old adage regarding lines, any lines, is "strain it-don't part it". Whether the line parts, or the attachment point, the towed vessel is adrift and probably worse off.
A possible compromise, necessitated by inferior hardware forward, would be to secure the hawser to the available fixtures forward (more than one cleat) with mooring lines. A rolling hitch with the mooring line around the hawser and thence to the cleat, using as many cleats and lines as available, would work. The procedure for doing this involves bringing approximately a length of hawser equivalent to the length of the vessel on board, claaping on the mooring lines with rolling hitches, and then fleeting out the hawser to one half the length of the vessel, and making the mooring lines fast to their cleats, taking an even strain on all parts. Then the hawser could be led aft and, assuming a keel stepped mast, secured about the base of the mast. Smaller lines can be rigged at the bow to fairlead the hawser dead ahead over the bows.
This is also the time at which it will be found desirable to have an axe, or more practically a hatchet. If it becomes necessary to sever the tow immediately, your basic knife (I don't care the blade is hand forged of unobtainium!) will prove deficient. A good sharp hatchet will allow you to use much more force in severing the line(s). The resultant damage to your deck probably not being a major concern in this eventuality.
The CG does not do as much towing as one might think; certainly nothing like the experience of your tow boat operator. Good communication, if possible, can preclude worsening the situation.
I would also caution of drawing too much from the media in dissecting these types of incidents. The "allision" I was involved in, anchored in the roads off Little Creek, VA, was reported in the local paper. There was little follow up, as my vessel fortunately did not blow up (1,500 tons of ammo in No.1 hold made this a concern) and what was printed in the paper seemed to come from the designated CG pr personnel. Suffice it to say, they got the name of the vessel and the anchorage correct. After that, one began to wonder which ship they were discussing as it did not sound like the incident of the night before.
I am suprised that the delivery captain did not require the boat to be equipped with an emergency rudder system for the trip to Hawaii. A independent steering system is the only truly redundant setup IMHO. I'm pretty sure this is a requirement to enter either the TransPac or Pacific Cup.
I think it's amusing that the rudder is a weak link in a +200k boat; what's the point of that crappy emergency tiller handle they provide when you have no rudder? (Only supplied to make the buyer much more confident in the seaworthyness at the showroom)

It's really a matter of how you want to sail. The list of "fast" fin keeled, spade-ruddered boats that are also good for extreme or even stormy conditions is pretty short, in my view, and as the Americas Cup designs hint at, we may be approaching the limits of our materials science in getting ULDBs that can take the kind of hits the sea can dish out.
Would I like a J/160 or a Saga 48 or a Swan or even a more conservative Moody? Yes, I would...because such boats are on that list. Nothing by Hunter, Catalina, Beneteau, Jeanneau, Dufour or Bavaria is on that list. Tartan is a maybe.
Of course, I'm the annoying bastard who shows up at boat shows with a dental mirror and a flashlight to view the backing plates under the (too short) stanchions, or who counts the hand holds in the (too wide) saloon. The Lloyd's Ocean certification is handed out far too liberally, in my view. But I am very much in the minority these days, and frankly, if one in 100 production boats actually goes offshore, I would be surprised.
Redundancy is always nice when help is 1000 miles away... I agree that the keel and skeg mounted rudders are better supported both at the top and bottom.
I have a kickup spade rudder on my boat, but it is really a requirement of the desing, being a multihull, with a draft of 14" with the board up.
BTW, the rudder on my boat works, although not as well, in the up position.
|I remember reading in one of the sail mags that they had a couple of boats lose rudders (neither of them Hunters) in one of the recent East Coast to Caribbean races.
|Anyone want to weigh in on weather the Hunter should have been out in the middle of the Pacific in the first place??
SD...I know you know this..but a lot of comments about skeg rudders focus on the protection from debris and other objects afforded the rudder by the skeg. Just as important to me is the support for the bottom end of the LEVER that a spade rudder becomes and the spreading of those forces to the entire hull through the skeg rather than focusing them on the rudder stock alone.
As you point out...the rudder also doesn't go to king neptune if one of the two supports should fail. Of course a spade post can be over-built to minimize the risk of failure...but i prefer redundancy especially for offshore cruising...even at the cost of some speed.

I love my KM2's. Had them over 2 years now and still have about 70% tread left but i have DD tires that i use when i'm not wheeling. Just went wheeling a few weeks ago and had no issues at all when everyone else was slipping on trails. I won't buy any other MT.
So to completely switch tracks now, as I have not been able to find much info on the 255's , I am looking at Duratracs 33x12.5x15. I will getting a body lift put on soon then Im going to order some soft 8s at the same time as the tires. I know I won't be able to get away with no rubbing but everyone who is running these, what did you have to cut to be free of bite?
Thanks for the info and Pics Racer! Were you running the same tire? I was really leaning towards the tall skinny's but now I'm digging the fatties a little more. Having a 3" suspension lift instead of a PML shouldn't change much right? Since the tires will still go to the same spot when stuffed.
Didn't change at all on mine when I went to a 3" SL. Yes running 33x12.5x15 Duratracs with the PML and the 3" SL.
Good deal. Thanks. Yeah the more I'm checking out other rigs, I think I'm liking the wider stance a lot more. Thanks for the info. Is that your daily driver too? If so, how has the wear been on those?
Also, running a bigger tire like that, how did your steering react? Did you have to beef it up or did you notice that it stayed pretty sturdy with the bigger contact patch?
Yes it is my DD but it's only an 8 mile or so round trip to and from work. My tires have 25K on them right now and appear as if they will go another 10K but they will be flat out dead at that point. The wear is mainly on the current steer tires and due to a poor alignment, my fault, so I think they may be able to go 40K if treated correctly.
My steering survived a whole week with 33's before the centerlink gave up. My guess would be the centerlink was already mostly toast and the 33's just pushed it over the edge. Xterror04 has had fairly good luck with 33's and the OEM centerlink but also did not have the 160K miles mine did.
For the last two years I've been running 33's, AC TRA's, a TC IAB, and a Grassroots centerlink and my steering has zero play in it.

Taranto accused Kerry, Edwards of "calling Dick Cheney's daughter names"
Responding to a Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network initiative [1] for middle school students called "No Name-Calling Week" in his January 25 online "Best of the Web" column [2], Wall Street Journal OpinionJournal.com editor James Taranto claimed that Senator John Kerry and former Senator John Edwards "call[ed] Dick Cheney's daughter names, and many in the gay-rights crowd thought it was just peachy." During the 2004 presidential campaign, Senators Kerry and Edwards referred to Cheney's daughter, Mary Cheney, who is a lesbian, as "a lesbian" and "gay."
Taranto did not provide examples of the "names" he claimed Kerry and Edwards called Mary Cheney, but presumably he was referring to two instances -- both during debates -- in which Kerry and Edwards referred to Mary Cheney's sexuality. The first was during the October 5, 2004, vice presidential debate [3], when Edwards responded to a question regarding the proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriage by saying:
Now, as to this question, let me say first that I think the vice president and his wife love their daughter. I think they love her very much. And you can't have anything but respect for the fact that they're willing to talk about the fact that they have a gay daughter, the fact that they embrace her. It's a wonderful thing.
The second was during the October 13, 2004, presidential debate [4], in which Kerry responded to a question on homosexuality by saying: "We're all God's children, Bob [Schieffer, the debate moderator]. And I think if you were to talk to Dick Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian, she would tell you that she's being who she was, she's being who she was born as." Following that debate, a number of conservatives falsely accused [5] Kerry of "outing" Mary Cheney.
In fact, the "name-calling" and derogatory comments about Mary Cheney actually came from conservatives. According to a September 2, 2004, Associated Press report [6], when asked if he thought Mary Cheney was a "selfish hedonist," conservative activist and former Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Illinois Alan Keyes -- having already referred to homosexuality as "selfish hedonism" -- replied, "Of course she is. That goes by definition." And, as Media Matters for America documented [7], a number of conservative media figures -- including MSNBC analyst Pat Buchanan, right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh, conservative pundit Tucker Carlson, FOX News host E.D. Hill, and FOX News contributor Mike Gallagher -- compared Mary Cheney's sexuality to abortion, adultery, alcoholism, and obesity.

woodchopper, if you are in maine, buy your woodenware from humble abodes and forget about the shipping...just pick it up.http://humbleabodesinc.com/deknow
the only other advice i can offer is find a loading dock you can borrow, and pool your orders with others and get truck shipments of pallets (or better yet, get enough bees to justify a pallet for yourself). i can't remember what truck shipment of a small pallet of woodenware from humble abodes cost in shipping (i think it was $150 to massachusetts for 100 deep boxes, 1000 frames, plus some 100 custom cut shims), but well worth it. we always buy their budget grade.deknow

I'm gonna go get another.
If I could soft mod a new Xbox I could just move the 40 GB drive I have in this one to the new one and everything would be solved. I miss playing my original Xbox games.
well, IB is out
time to buy new computeer
But this is the first fab on the 22nm process.
Which doesn't bother me - I'm not really an overclocker. I'll be ordering my G55 ASAP.
brt, are you going to finish your dxtory video yet? i really want to start using it to make dumb videos on my youtube channel but i don't know what the hell is going on
mostly because of the signature I sent through Thunderbird
not hard
can't buy them yet
I mean every person sometimes needs to copy his/her documents/music/books/whatever to their device, and doing this on Iphone requires an insane amount of custom apps (or a jailbreak)
And don't say no one needs it, I use the filesystem on my phone and tablet daily
Booted into Windows 7 on my laptop.
Resumed state, I hadn't used Windows 7 on my laptop after the stupid-ass Windows Phone 7 course I took.
However using only the simplified version on something like windows would cause problems because unlike iOS it has a lot more problems with software that requires fixing and will sometimes require you to access files for that software.
On a phone it is a great idea.
I got the chance to run one of those watt meters on my laptop today, so I did some benchmarks on the GPU.
Slightly surprising.
Pretty neat how my 6630m on power saving mode saves more power than the Integrated on my Mobile i5-2430m.Code:Wifi card and battery charging disabled. Trackmania 2 Benchmark, Very Nice preset Integrated GPU: Average Wattage: 40w Peak Wattage: 49w Dedicated GPU: Performance mode Average Wattage: 48w Peak Wattage: 54w Dedicated GPU: Power saving mode Average Wattage: 28w Peak Wattage: 34w
I really really really reallllyyy want the Nokia N900.
It's a Linux PC with phone features.
It's so fucking perfect for me.
The only thing I like is how the top is all one clean looking piece compared to the HAF-X, the rest sucks and is ugly as hell.
holy shit the last 4 pages
I thought I'd never see the day where CIPWTTKT would defend any Apple products.
I think the world truly is ending this year.
(I have to admit I agreed with several points on both sides though)
Those arguments were pretty bad.
Idea was good on both sides but it ended with who can scream MINE IS BETTRR more loudly.
Phones are now good enough to browse web, game slightly and edit documents, crop/slightly edit pics etc. but they won't overcome computers for a long time.

Posted by Fatemeh Khatibloo on May 30, 2012
We've spent a lot of time in the past year looking at how the customer intelligence services landscape is changing. For one thing, it's a heck of a lot more chaotic: everyone from management consultants to systems integrators to KPO vendors is putting a stake in the ground of CI services. We've also seen a dramatic shift in the way some digital & direct agencies and database MSPs are thinking about their most strategic client relationships. This change has been so noticeable that, a few months ago, we actually published research that defines a new business model: The Customer Engagement Agency (CEA).
It's no surprise that clients and vendors alike are excited about this model. These agencies help elevate customer intelligence within the client organization. They bring attention and focus to the importance of customer knowledge, and they work hard at infusing that knowledge throughout every customer touchpoint. They measure customer value, not just marketing campaigns. And they help clients use CI to answer questions about everything from product development to logistics and resource management.
But, this is an emerging market — the players are evolving from very different backgrounds; they offer substantially different "value-added" capabilities; and many of them have proprietary methods and models that make it hard to compare apples to apples.
That's why we've just kicked off a Customer Engagement Agency WaveTM that will publish in the fall. If you're intrigued with the idea of working with a CEA, I encourage you to:

Fox & Friends Invent New Border Conspiracy Theories
Fox News host Steve Doocy and contributor Michelle Malkin invented new border conspiracy theories to attack comprehensive immigration reform proposals after Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) visited the Southwest border fence.
McCain -- who was in Nogales, Arizona, at the Southwest border with four members of the "Gang of 8" on a border tour -- tweeted [1], "Just witnessed a woman successfully climb an 18-ft bollard fence a few yards from us." On Fox & Friends, Doocy claimed that he believed the event was staged so that the administration could blame lax border security on sequestration. Co-host Gretchen Carlson pushed back on the conspiracy, claiming that this sort of event "happens frequently":
DOOCY: I think there's a possibility that this could've almost been a PR stunt. I mean, let's face it, you've got these U.S. senators there who are working on immigration reform, you've got all those cameras down there, and you've got the sequester going on, where they're going, we're going to have to cut back.
The Secretary of Homeland Security can say, look, you know, I'm having to cut back all my hours. Look at that lady, she just scaled an 18-foot bollard fence, and you all got it on camera.
CARLSON: Well, unfortunately, I think it happens frequently, and so maybe it was just by chance.
Malkin later appeared on the program to respond to McCain's tweet, noting that it prompted her editor to ask, "Did John McCain give her a boost up?" due to his support for comprehensive immigration reform:
MALKIN: There were a lot of aggravated and bemused observers of John McCain. The question came up and one of my editors put it this way, "Did John McCain give her a boost up?" Because of course he is now leading the charge for exactly the kind of - I don't care what you call it - regularization, comprehensive immigration reform. It walks, it talks, and it squawks like another massive illegal alien amnesty and all it's going to result in is more of the kind of activity that they tweeted yesterday about at the border. More illegal immigration.
In that segment, Doocy again fearmongered over the effects that sequestration will have on border security. He claimed that due to sequestration, the border will be "open for business" for two hours per shift. However, cutting border patrol hours down from 10 hours a day to 8 hour and requiring furloughs for workers will not put the nation's safety at risk. As Bloomberg reported [2]:
The cuts probably won't dramatically increase crime or significantly compromise border security, said Chris Wilson, an associate with the Wilson Center's Mexico Institute, a Washington-based research group. The number of Border Patrol agents has doubled in the last decade, and illegal activity along the border between the ports of entry has fallen.
Border Patrol is "bigger than they've ever been and crossings are lower than they've ever been," Wilson said in a telephone interview. The proposed cuts "would not put us at staffing levels unlike what we had in recent years and, therefore, would not put us at a point that we would have major security concerns as a result."
Even in this instance, as Fox did point out, the woman was apprehended [3] by Border Patrol agents, according to McCain. And despite pushing the idea that dangerous non-American criminals are crossing the border, a new story [4] by the Center for Investigative Reporting found that U.S. citizens are more likely to be apprehended for smuggling drugs across the border as "4 out of 5 [drug] busts -- which may include multiple people -- involve a U.S. citizen."

Man, that sucks.
Checking in from Kansas.
In the odd position of living in a state where concealed carry is legal, as of 1st July, but where there are no permits, until 1st January, 2007.
Never say that we in Kansas don't do things a little differently.
Of course, I'm again confused. What's the deal with Kansas?
The enabling legislation was passed to be active 1 July, but the delay is to allow the AG to set up the system to certify the trainers, line up the paper system, etc.
It's actually not as silly as it sounds, and, fortunately, the AG is a decent sort who's all for CCW and is doing a good job getting things set up. They've just finished the first round of train-the-trainers, and I'm on the list with one of the local guys.
I think the permits in TX started around 1996. I moved here in Feb of 1996 - Back then, U had to be a resident for 6 months before U could apply - So, I had to wait 6 long months
You'll make it
Well at least we have a plan for CCW here in Kansas! I wasn't sure it was ever gonna happen.
+1 on that!

Afowiri "Kitz" Fondzenyuy, MBA '06, founder and CEO of the Amom Foundation, presented on his charity to the University of St. Thomas Business Ethics Society on Jan. 12.
The recipient of the 2006 Greater Houston Business Ethics Roundtable Scholarship, Fondzenyuy created Amom in 2006 while taking the business ethics core course with Dr. Michele Simms. What began as Fondzenyuy's Master of Business Administration project on ethics and corporate social responsibility, eventually opened the door to a career in philanthropic nonprofit management and the opportunity to help to improve health and educational services in his native country of Cameroon, Africa.
The Amom Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides education to the rural poor and underprivileged children in Cameroon, Central Africa. The Business Ethics Society is adopting the Amom Foundation as its flagship service project.
"The Cameron School of Business has changed my life by helping me find my passion," Fondzenyuy said. "Dr. Simms taught us about social responsibility and entrepreneurship, and she gave us opportunity to go out into the real world to use our business education to make a difference."
Beginning with a simple shipment of soccer balls to his former village of Ngondzen, Fondzenyuy has nurtured the class project into Amom Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Amom recently raised funds to purchase 251 English textbooks for the primary school in his village.
"You tend to forget the impact that little things can have on people," he said. "That was the wakeup call that led me to where I am."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I've single handed a 1981 Hunter 30 since 2001. I bought it in Nassau, cruised it all around the central and northern Bahamas, and have made a couple trips with it across the Gulf Stream to Florida and the Keys. It's been a great boat for me. In 14 months I'll move back aboard full-time.
You didn't mention if you had your boat surveyed before you bought it. If you did, your surveyor may have pointed out several problem areas associated with the older Hunters. If he didn't, I'll share with you a couple of problems I've had to deal with.
Chain plates - If you can't find out if they've even been replaced, replace them! I had one break on me and when I examined the rest of them, I found that although they looked good, they all had corroded from the inside out. I was an accident just waiting to happen! Save the originals and have a machine shop make you some replacements. They are easy to duplicate and are no longer available from Hunter.
Some of the chain plates attach to a metal framework with runs port to starboard, amidships. Check these out when your replacing the chain plates. I had one tear free during Hurricane Jeanne. You can't replace the fastening points, but you may be able to beef them up if they look weak.
Compression post- as the mast is deck-stepped, the post which supports it rests on the keel. Unfortunately, Hunter chose to have the post rest on top of a metal block. This block is subject to rusting and can actually rust away under the post. This allows the mast to drop around 2" and places stress on the deck. This block cannot be replaced. All I was able to do was to fiberglass all around it to keep it from rusting anymore.
Standing rigging- Same as the chain plates. If it hasn't been replaced in the last 10 years or so, get it checked out by a professional. Although it may still look good, it also corrodes from the inside out. I replaced all my rigging in 2002.
Lifeline stanchion tops - They are made of some type of metal which flakes away over time. Bosun Supply offers replacement caps. I've had to replace most all of mine.
Opening ports - I replaced all of my salon ports as they were broken and leaking. The original manufacturer, Bomar, is in Tampa, FL and you can get replacements from them.
Prop strut - Over time, electrolysis can really eat away at this. My strut broke twice on me, causing costly repairs. The first time it broke I was able to motor back to Nassau Harbour. I removed it from the boat and had it brazed. I also had to have the prop shaft straightened. Three years later it broke once again. This time I had to have a new one fabricated by a shop in Jacksonville, FL. It cost me a lot of money and time. I also had to replace the prop shaft as well. The only way you can really check this part is when your boat is out of the water.
Good luck with your Hunter. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and tackle all the projects/repairs associated with buying an older boat. I haven't regretted my purchase decision.
Congrats, my previous boat, a 86 Hunter 30 was a bundle of joy for a half boat. The only problem I had was all my buddies on catalina's wanted me to tow them everywhere.
Do join the Hunter owners groups, lots of good advice on them.
I swapped out the portals on mine (one day job) upgraded the batteries, charger and rewired to abyc - ish standards. Decided to sell when I stripped out the headliner and saw daylight glowing through the FG - well, that and the whole halfboat lead mine thing..
|Congrats on the purchase!!
|Very nice, I like the older Hunters as well.
|Congrats, hope you get all out of her you hope to.
I still like the look of the era you just bought into. She's beautiful. Have fun!
I've got a 1982 Hunter 33 and love sailing it on Lake Ontario. She's pretty nimble and sails closer to the wind than most. I got the groovy 70's cushions too but that is on the list to change. Enjoy! Check out HuntersOwners.com for info and advice.
|Well done. I concur about the Hunters...if it hasn't disintegrated yet, it's not likely to do so on your watch. All the same, start cutting backing plates for your winches and genoa tracks...those 1970s fender washers must be well-dished by now!

It's a '79 Hunter 30. I have never been a big fan of Hunters but after doing a little research I would never have a new one (no offense to Hunter owners) but the older ones seem like decent boats. By comparison, a 2004 Hunter 30 weighs 7,000lbs, the '79 weighs 10,000lbs, quite a difference.
The '79's (actually the '73-'84 series) have a full skeg hung rudder which I definitely like over a fin.
She needs a little TLC, a good cleaning and buff job, and some tinkering here and there but she is structurally and mechanically sound. Good Yanmar diesel, newer sails, bimini and dodger, dingy w/ outboard, hot & cold pressure water, wheel steering w/ auto pilot.
Could use some new upholstery, it's pretty dated '70's ugly' but thats ok for now.
Bahama's here I come!!

Curious to know if anyone else here has experience of this software. For quick and easy corrections of individual images it seems to work very well and I use it a lot. However it does have 2 downsides:
1 You cannot batch process using a specific set of values
2 I'm not very happy with its skin tone correction algorithms: the colours often seem very unbalanced to me, though they look OK on a screen!
Likewise without spending massive amounts of money, are there any other better plug-ins that give much more accurate colours? Important to to me as I'm partially colour-blind (the common red-green confusion!)

CBS News, LA Times , Wash. Post reported Bush's assertion of legal authority in wiretapping, ignored reports questioning his defense
Research ››› ››› ROB MORLINO
CBS, the Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post reported without challenge the disputed claim that President Bush has the legal authority to instruct the National Security Agency to conduct electronic surveillance of people in the United States without obtaining warrants.
The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and the CBS Evening News reported without challenge President Bush's January 11 assertion that he acted legally in authorizing a National Security Agency (NSA) program that, according to The New York Times, involved the electronic surveillance of persons within the United States without obtaining warrants pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). In contrast, other outlets that reported Bush's remarks, including The New York Times and USA Today, noted that the NSA program's legality has not been established, citing two reports -- one by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) and the other by a former general counsel to the CIA -- that questioned Bush's legal defense of the wiretapping.
Following Bush's remarks in Louisville, Kentucky, anchor Bob Schieffer reported for the January 11 broadcast of the CBS Evening News:
SCHIEFFER: President Bush softened his opposition today to congressional hearings on the secret program he authorized to eavesdrop on Americans. Mr. Bush said in a speech in Louisville today that hearings would be good for democracy if, he said, they do not give away information to what he called the enemy. The president again insisted he does have the legal authority to authorize such programs.
In the January 12 edition of the Los Angeles Times, staff writer James Gerstenzang also reported:
Bush said that before moving forward with the program, "I wanted to make sure I had all the legal authority necessary."
He repeated earlier assertions that the congressional resolution passed after the Sept. 11 attacks gave him the authority to use all force he thought necessary to fight terrorists, and that the spying program fell under that authority.
"There will be a lot of hearings and talk about that," Bush said, "but that's good for democracy -- just so long as the hearings, as they explore whether I have the prerogative to make the decision I made, doesn't tell the enemy what we're doing. See, that's the danger."
In contrast, reports on the president's remarks in The New York Times and USA Today also noted the release this week of a report requested by Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA), ranking Democrat on the House intelligence committee, and authored by former CIA general counsel Jeffrey H. Smith, who has previously testified as an expert witness before the committee on intelligence gathering issues. Smith's report characterized as "weak" and "not credible" Bush's claims that the program is legally sanctioned by his powers as chief executive.
In addition, in a January 7 report, The Washington Post summarized the CRS report's conclusions, stating that "the administration's justification for the warrantless eavesdropping authorized by President Bush conflicts with existing law and hinges on weak legal arguments."* However, in a January 12 article, staff writer Michael A. Fletcher reported on Bush's remarks in Louisville without mentioning either the CRS or Smith reports:
President Bush on Wednesday defended his decision to allow government eavesdropping on the phone calls and e-mails of suspected terrorist collaborators in the United States, saying the program is legal and is essential to averting potential attacks.
"I understand people's concerns about government eavesdropping," Bush said in response to a question about the program during a citizens forum here. "I share their concerns as well." Even so, he added, the program is important to his duty to protect Americans.
Bush's comments on the eavesdropping program came in response to a question posed during a campaign-style event here aimed at shoring up support for the war in Iraq as well as the nation's broader anti-terrorism effort.
The domestic spying program has drawn fire from members of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, who think it oversteps the president's authority and violates civil liberties that are part of the nation's fiber. The National Security Agency program began in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks as a way to help the nation's intelligence agencies gather information about any future attacks.
From the January 12 New York Times article:
The president's legal justification for the N.S.A. program has gotten mixed reviews, ranging from enthusiastic to skeptical to scathing.
This week, Representative Jane Harman of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, released a 14-page legal analysis she had requested from a former C.I.A. general counsel, Jeffrey H. Smith, now a Washington lawyer.
Although recognizing the president's assertion that his power as commander in chief justifies warrantless surveillance, Mr. Smith called that case "weak" in light of the language and documented purpose of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, which requires warrants.
From the January 12 USA Today article:
Bush said Wednesday that administration lawyers had approved the program. "I can understand concerns about this program," he said. "Before I went forward, I wanted to make sure I had all the legal authority necessary to make this decision."
For the second time in a week, however, an analysis questioned the White House's claims that Congress implicitly authorized the program. Such a contention is "not credible," according to a memo to the House Intelligence Committee by Jeffrey H. Smith, a CIA counsel during the Clinton administration.
Smith's Jan. 3 memo was requested by committee Democrats. It follows a report by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service that said the surveillance program might not be "well grounded" legally and may rest on a mistaken assumption that Congress has no power to limit domestic surveillance in wartime. The report said a firm conclusion couldn't be made because much about the surveillance program is classified.
* This item originally attributed the phrase "conflicts with existing law and hinges on weak legal arguments" to the January 5 Congressional Research Service report. In fact, this text appears in The Washington Post's January 7 analysis of the report but not in the report itself. The relevant quote from the CRS report is as follows: "Given such uncertainty, the Administration's legal justification, as presented in the summary analysis from the Office of Legislative Affairs, does not seem to be as well-grounded as the tenor of that letter suggests." We regret the error.

Returns nothing if the domain exists and 'No match for domain.com' otherwise.
Renames all the jpg files as their timestamps with ".jpg" extension.
Remove newlines from output.
One character shorter than awk /./ filename and doesn't use a superfluous cat.
To be fair though, I'm pretty sure fraktil was thinking being able to nuke newlines from any command is much more useful than just from one file.
Pipe any output to "grep ." and blank lines will not be printed.
Gets the internal and external IP addresses of all your interfaces, or the ones given as arguments
Will return your internal IP address.
The same as the other user, but smarter, using -d and -f
xargs -P N spawns up to N worker processes. -n 40 means each grep command gets up to 40 file names each on the command line.
This one will work a little better, the regular expressions it is not 100% accurate for XML parsing but it will suffice any XML valid document for sure.
Within /proc and /sys there are a lot of subdirectories, which carry pseudofiles with only one value as content. Instead of cat-ing all single files (which takes quite a time) or do a "cat *" (which makes it hard to find the filename/content relation), just grep recursively for . or use "grep . /blabla/*" (star instead of -r flag).
For better readability you might also want to pipe the output to "column -t -s : ".
The example command deletes all aliases for network interface 'em0' assuming that the aliases have netmask of 255.255.255.255 and the master IP has some other netmask (such as 255.255.255.0). See here -> http://my.galagzee.com/2009/07/22/deleting-all-network-interface-aliases/ for more on the rationale of this command.
Retrieve top ip threats from http://isc.sans.org/sources.html and add them into iptables output chain.
I wanted all the 'hidden' .flv files from the http link in the command line; wget seemed appropriate, fed with output from lynx, grep the flv files and the normalised via sed (to remove the numeric bullet). Similar to the 'Grab mp3 files' fu. Replace link with your own, grep arg with something more interesting ;) See here for something along the same lines...
Hope you find it useful! Improvements welcome, naturally.
Useful if you f.i. want to block/allow all connections from a certain provider which uses successive netnames for his ip blocks. In this example I used the german Deutsche Telekom which has DTAG-DIAL followed by a number as netname for the dial in pools.
There are - as always ;) - different ways to do this. If you have seq available you can use
net=DTAG-DIAL ; for i in `seq 1 30`; do whois -h whois.ripe.net $net$i | grep '^inetnum:' | sed "s;^.*:;$net$i;" ; done
or without seq you can use bash brace expansion
net=DTAG-DIAL ; for i in {1..30}; do whois -h whois.ripe.net $net$i | grep '^inetnum:' | sed "s;^.*:;$net$i;" ; done
or if you like while better than for use something like
net=DTAG-DIAL ; i=1 ; while true ; do whois -h whois.ripe.net $net$i | grep '^inetnum:' | sed "s;^.*:;$net$i;" ; test $i = 30 && break ; i=$(expr $i + 1) ; done
and so on.
The command could show you all conecctions if you skip "grep ESTABLISHED"
bnd-ips.txt is a list of IP adresses that is concenated for use as regular expression. Yes, this is still very speedy ;=)
Should work on all systems that use dpkg and APT package management.
Find Word docs by filename in the current directory, convert each of them to plain text using antiword (taking care of spaces in filenames), then grep for a search term in the particular file.
(Of course, it's better to save your data as plain text to make for easier grepping, but that's not always possible.)
Requires antiword. Or you can modify it to use catdoc instead.
This should work anywhere perl and grep is available. :P

Storms & Global Warming II
Earlier this year, we posted two discussions on the association between climate change and storms: Storms and Climate Change and Some recent updates. I will use the abbreviation TC here in the loose meaning of a tropical cyclone. These posts discussed the high number of TCs during the previous hurricane season and an essay on the relation between TCs and climate change. The uncertainty surrounding trends in storminess was underlined, and a point was being made about this subject being controversial.
Whereas some meteorologists believe that there is not a link between gobal warming and storms, there has also been a recent model study on how the storm statistics can be affected by a global warming that we failed to mention in the previous discussion. Furthermore, a new analysis published in Nature by Kerry Emanuel ('Increasing destructiveness of tropical cyclones over the past 30 years') points to a high correlation between the power of the TCs and the sea surface temperature (SST). This paper is also discussed in The New Scientist. He suggests that a likely consequence of a future warming is an upward trend in the destructive potential of TCs. Emanuel argues that a net power dissipation is a better indicator of TC threat than their frequency or intensity alone.
From NOAA
The conclusion of Emanuel at first sight appears to contrast with the a recent statement from NOAA that a 20-30-year reoccurring cycle is the dominant climate factor that controls Atlantic hurricane activity and that any potentially weak signal associated with longer-term climate change appears to be a minor factor. But, in fact, Emanuel acknowedged the lack of a trend in the frequency of the TCs, but finds a trend in their their destructive power which is related to their intensity and duration.
There are also some further differences. Chan and Liu (2004) argue that current models are not yet sufficiently good for addressing the question regarding global warming and typhoons (A typhoon is technically the same as a hurricane, the difference being that they form over the western Pacific or the Indean Ocean). But the GFDL study is based on a state-of-the-art high-resolution model that is more appropriate for hurricane studies and provides important evidence suggesting that climate change may have an effect on the TCs. Chan and Liu (2004) point to a lack of positive correlation between SSTs in the western part of the tropical pacific and the typhoon activity in the western North Pacific. They argue that the typhoon activity is related to El Ninos and that higher moist static energy provides conditions favourable for TCs. The atmospheric flow will also have an influence, as strong vertical wind shear can inhibit cyclogenesis (spawning of cyclones). I will not draw their analysis into doubt other than that I believed that they incorrectly framed the question. Therefore, I believe that there could be a different interpretation of their results. The SSTs they examined were from the 'warm pool' – the region with the highest temperatures in the world (~30degC) and well above the critical threshold of ~27 degC. SSTs in this region are not strongly positively correlated with ENSO. However, the region of high temperatures expands into central and eastern parts of the tropical Pacific during an El Nino resulting in an increased area of SST higher than the critical threshold value, and this aspect is in my opinion crucial to the interpretation. The tropical Typhoon frequency may be sensitive to the area with high SST (above ~27deg C). The clear seasonality in TCs ("hurricane season") with highest activities during the summer is one of the strongest pieces of empirical evidence that higher temperatures give more favourable conditions for tropical cyclones (After all, TCs only form in the warm tropics…).

I take a *lot* of photos when I do hive inspections, and I *never* see varroa mites. So the deformed wing thing surprised me.
And yes, marked queens are nice, especially if you don't want an emergency supercedure queen.
But I'm Unclear about what the tipping point is. I've seen three bees with distorted wings. Does this warrant destroying the queen? My queens are from wild-caught swarms, which some would call Survivor Stock, and some would consider Unreliable Vermin.
