3.6L Loosing Coolant
Hoping some of you more knowledgeable members can help me isolate where my car is loosing coolant from. It is leaking from the passenger side rear trailing down the transmission bell housing. After sitting for several hours, there will be a small 3 inch diameter puddle. I tried to see it's source by crawling under the car with a flashlight. However, I could not pinpoint it's source. My local dealership jumped right at wanting to replace the head gaskets for 2300.00. I hate to say go ahead without them even really trying to diagnosis it's origin. Where do you guys think it's coming from? Thank you for your replies.

Re: 3.6L Loosing Coolant
I'd spend a lot of time looking around with flashlights and inspection mirrors before I turned $100/hr monkeys loose on it. Small mirrors on long handles will get your vision into a lot of places.Don't mess with Binky Bear!

Re: 3.6L Loosing Coolant
GM sells approved coolant pellets P#? that are added before any head gasket replacement is performed. It is recommended in the shop manual to do this before tearing the motor down.

Re: 3.6L Loosing Coolant
$100.00 an hour monkeys??? you dont have a clue do ya. why is he a monkey?? because he spends one month a year training (alot on his own time) because he has the best tools and service info? because he works on caddy and caddy only?, training tools and knowledge alone allow us to charge more than the aftermarket. lets see "toothless dave" from "blind bills auto center and food emporium" diag your high speed lan communication problem. i get cars towed in on a daily basis that some independent shop could not fix and realistically only made worse....but he still had the balls to charge the customer for his time and wash his hands of the issue, that sir is the "monkey"

Re: 3.6L Loosing Coolant
My '06 CTS with 33K miles has twice in the last 2 months overflowed some coolant after it was parked. I can't seem to replicate this phenomenon when I try and the engine temp never goes above mid gauge no matter how hard I push it. The first time it lost about 1 cup, the second time about a pint. The oil looks to be free of coolant. After it comes up to temperature and is idling I see no bubbles in the expansion tank. I would normally start by replacing the cap, but it doesn't have a traditional radiator cap. Suggestions?
Re: 3.6L Loosing Coolant
Maybe pour in a pint and a cup of coolant?

The year 2011 will go down as the year of the data breach. And the worse news is, 2012 could top it.
From the CIA to video-game networks, from brand-name conglomerates to mom-and-pop shops, no sector of business, and no agency at any level of government, was immune to hack attacks. In what we now view as the good old days of weak IT security, you could count on the perpetrators being motivated only by money – stealing credit card numbers or other customer data so they could steal the identities of innocent victims.
This year, with so many political and social conflicts smoldering all over the world, the rise of the "hacktivist" took precedence over the mere money-grubbers. It wasn't uncommon to see local law enforcement departments, public transport agencies and nonprofits attacked simply for their political views, or else to exploit their security vulnerabilities. Our experts anticipate these and traditional attacks to continue in the new year.
Now for the good news: Our December 2011 newsletter has a wealth of valuable information, starting with our

, which takes you through the hacks, month by month. As more organizations fell victim to attacks by hackers, news of data breaches seemed as frequent as celebrity wedding specials, with the victims' names nearly as well known. Sony. PBS. Facebook. Even the U.S. government and its military were hit. No one was immune.
This year also saw significant developments in the privacy movement. The Federal Trade Commission took its role as America's privacy authority more seriously than ever—ending the year with a strong rebuke and 20-year privacy settlement with Facebook. A number of lawsuits made their way through the legal system, including one now before the U.S. Supreme Court on whether the government can track suspects using GPS without a warrant.

This annual, family-friendly festival at Harriman State Park in Rockland County, NY, celebrates Native American history and culture with traditional music and dancing by native groups from around the world.
Someone must have done a rain dance by mistake last year.
On August 7 and 8, the Redhawk Native American Arts Council will host its 14th Annual Bear Mountain Native American Festival Contest Powwow. Last year, heavy rains left the celebration site in Harriman State Park a murky mess of mud. With good weather this year, organizers expect nearly 5,000 visitors daily for this weekend-long event.
Adults and children who are captivated by Native American history and culture can enjoy food, crafts, and entertainment as well as interact with members of the Sioux, Navajo, Winnebago, Cherokee, and Mohawk tribes. Adventurous eaters can try buffalo burgers, venison stew, corn soup, and fry bread. Less adventurous souls can browse a marketplace where artists from across the country showcase and sell paintings, carvings, pottery, beadwork, jewelry, and leatherwork. The family-friendly event also features a live birds of prey exhibit, pony rides, and a tipi-raising.
Festival Info
What: Bear Mountain Native American Festival Contest Powwow
Where: Anthony Wayne Recreation Area, Harriman State Park
When: August 7-8, 11am-7pm
How much: $12, $7 ages 7 and up and seniors, free ages 6 and under
For more information: 718-686-9297 or visit www.redhawkcouncil.org
Native groups from around the world will be represented. A Polynesian dance troupe will convey the culture of the islands of Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, and New Zealand. There will also be an Aztec group from Mexico City and Inca groups from Peru and Ecuador.
The Redhawk Native American Art Council is based in Brooklyn (surprisingly enough) and aims "to educate the general public about Native American traditions and cultures and to help break stereotypes about who Native Americans are today." This is done, among other ways, through an annual multi-festival series. The first of this year's events was held last month in New Jersey. The series continues next month at FDR State Park in Yorktown Heights, in Westchester County.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
It takes all the abuse.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This pack is tough! It has been tossed and schlepped on many a flight. It gets slidden down slot canyons. Nothing has been able to tear or wear this pack.
The huge zipper allows me to access the entire main compartment at once instead of simply digging through from top to bottom.
Each side pocket holds a 1.5L Nalgene easily.
The play on the hip belt makes climbing and twisting through narrow spaces easier.
I have been tempted by other packs, but this thing holds up so well that I cant justify buying another. It'll be a long while until this one needs to be replaced.
Awesome Pack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Spent 3 months in Patagonia with this pack and loved it, was able to carry all the gear i needed for backpacking as well as traveling around, kept everything light and simple.
So, so many pockets
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have only used this pack a few times. But it has surpassed all of my expectations. It fits my body perfectly, and has pockets everywhere I would want them to be. It makes storage a breeze, and feels good on my back.
Great backpack at an expensive price
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The pack is great.
Tons of adjustments that make the pack fitting you perfectly, while you wont find them cumbersome when not in use.
Pocket designs are good as well, love the kangaroo pocket that allow quick access of things like gloves and coat; wingman pocket for easy access of water bottle; and the main compartment could be fully opened for easy access.
The pivot hip belt does help, but also does make some sound, but the sound become minimal in a trip or two, and that's not a problem to me. I also love that the belt could be removed and be be placed around the pack, this makes sending the pack as a baggage in the airport a lot easier!
All in all, it's a great pack that is comfortable to carry and easy to access. But it is also way more expensive than it's competitor. If you want a great pack and don't care much about the price, this is the one to get. But if you are looking for something of great value, I'm sure you could find another pack with most similar features but at a much lower price.
awesome item
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
light weight and fashion design
pricey item
Great pack, check sizing options.
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
This pack is simply amazing. It has many adjustable features allowing you to tailor the fit perfectly. However, do be aware of the hip belt sizing options. I ordered the short/regular pack and received a small sized hip belt. Backcountry.com is unable to exchange the belt and will require you to deal with artery'x directly.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
perfect light and everything
Best pack ever!!??
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'm 5'6 150 and ordered a small reg. The fit was spot on. The rotating hip belt is what makes this pack great and the padding wasn't overly hard but very comfortable. I walk with my hips. When you walk with this pack the hip belt moves with your hips and the pack stays put to your back. No swaying back and forth. I didn't feel like I was going to tip over while doing some light scrambling or when going up steep inclines. Several reviews people have complained about squeaking from the shoulder harness to the hip belt. I added a decent amount of synthetic grease and no more squeaking. Even when there was a slight noise coming from the pack it still doesn't change how comfortable the pack is. There is tons of space and the wing pockets make it easy to fit my Nalgene bottle as well as other decent size items. My platypus big zip 3L fit in the main water compartment. The Altra 65 price is really steep compared to other brands but I love Arcteryx and def recommend this pack. Don't let the price fool you, it's worth it????

first trip with Arc'teryx Altra 65
Is it at least water resistant? I read the description and am not entirely sure what "water pickup" means. If not, would it be a bad idea to add a water proofer? Spray or wash?
Alex, the Altra packs are definitely water resistant. However if you're going to be exposed to consistent precipitation a Pack Shelter is a great way to protect the pack:
Where is the Altra 65 Backpack manufactured?
Made in the Philippines (according to the tag in the main compartment). This is based on a Diablo Red Altra 65 in Reg/Tall size purchased just a couple of months ago from Backcountry.
Your site lists the Diablo Red in Short and Short/Regular. What's the difference? Does the Short come with a small hipbelt? Thanks!
when will the red model be available in a reg/tall?
We have some on order from Arcteryx right now. Unfortunately, we do not have an exact date as to when they will be coming in, but it should be sometime at the end of the month. Hope this helps.
What kind of grease are you supposed to use for the load transfer disc? Mine didn't come with any grease.
Here's what Arc' says:
Special AC2 lubricant may be obtained from most Arc'teryx retailers. If AC2 lubricant is not available, contact our Warranty Department
Alternately, you can use plumber's silicone grease as a back-up, available at most hardware stores or scuba dive shops.
Do not use oil based lubricants such as WD40, as it will cause the Discs to seize and degrade the urethane components."
... and I hope that helps!
I would just call them and they will send you a little tube of lube!
Davis is spot on.
Here's a link to the "Contact Us" form:
You can contact them and ask for a free sample of the lube.
Anyone know if just white lithium grease would work?
Or would this be an issue with the plastic?
Never tried it, but I would probably opt for silicone grease over white lithium grease which is intended for metal/metal joints and could potentially dissolve plastics depending on the solvents used.
If my back length is 19.5", would it be better to go with the short/reg or the reg/tall? The size chart has the short going up to 20" and the Tall starting at 19". Is it just a coin flip, or would there be a benefit to being on one end or the other end of the scale?
The deciding factor for me would be the desired pack capacity, because you could go with either since you're right on the cusp- the Regular is 3965 - 4453 cu in, while the Tall is 4148 - 4575 cu in-- do you want/need the extra 183 cubic inches?
Feel free to give me a call if you need anything else- I can be reached at 1-800-409-4502 ext 4456, or email@example.com.
Can someone give me the approximate dimension...
Can someone give me the approximate dimension of the pack moderately full? Just curious how much larger it is, since I've never used anything bigger than a 45L. Thanks
Hey Danp,
Sorry I don't have the exact dimensions, but this vid from Arx will give you a general idea of the size of this pack when loaded.
I'll try to stuff mine and measure it, but I won't be able to do that til Wednesday.
I can tell you that it's a surprisingly svelt pack, even for the volume. It uses its space very well. Carries like a smaller pack.
Here you go. These are approximate but give you an idea. Had this pack to normal capacity (65 liters) ... with the kangaroo pocket packed with rain gear. The pack was not completely turgid, but full.
When viewing the back with the hip belt facing away from me:
33 inches high
14 inches wide across the main body
19 inches wide across the wingmen
14 inches deep
I hope that helps.
My guess is this thing will stretch up to 1.5 inches in each of those dimensions... except height, where it could rise like another 6-8 inches if needed.
This pack is GREAT. Hope you buy and enjoy it. It's crazy expensive, but it's cheaper than a Ferrari or an extra-marital affair!
David, thanks so much for taking the time to measure!! I went ahead and ordered and should be here tomorrow. I am hoping I can condense for lesser loads and fill it full for longer times out. At that price, something universal is expected..
Happy to help. You got lucky: I was doing a gear demo to some new boy scouts today.
I find it's a very versatile pack. I use mine for 2 mile "expeditions" with 10 year olds, then turn around and use it for 15 mile-per-day through hikes with my friends on the AT.
Love this pack. It WILL squeak on you, so do carry the grease if that sort of thing drives you nuts... but that's it's only fault. Other than that I honestly can't imagine anything better and I've used a lot of packs in my life.
Ha! Not a very big deal but I'll be sure to carry grease/tri-flo. Happy to hear it meets its expectations. I am going to be buying Arcteryx jacket if I am happy with this. Something for all-year any suggestions?
What's the the difference between the tall...
What's the the difference between the tall and short?
Back Length.
Short has a back length of 16.5 - 20in (42 - 51cm)
Tall is: 19 - 22.5in (48 - 57cm)
You get slightly more volume with the tall too I think... like 3L.
with the arcteryx altra 65, since it's not...
with the arcteryx altra 65, since it's not waterproof an i'm new to camping is their a means to waterproof the pack?
While the Arc'teryx Altra 65 Backpack is not waterproof it will be very water resistant and should shield the contents of you bag from moisture in most circumstances. However, when the precipitation is really coming down you will want a pack rain cover. Most packs don't come with them but Gregory makes a good durable model:
It's often more effective to waterproof what's inside the pack by means of ziploc bags, etc.
Stil.... Arc'teryx makes a pack cover specifically for this pack. It's a little heavy and it's a little expensive, but it fits perfectly and will keep everything dry.
Can you attach ice axes to the pack? I...
Can you attach ice axes to the pack? I see in the video they use the smaller version of this pack with ice axes, is it possible?
Yes, the big expedition sized Altra packs all use basically that same P'ax system that you saw in the videos. For carrying, you would use both loops at the ends of side compression straps, but for one-hand, what you do is slide the axe or ice tool shaft under just the upper loop, lift a little, then slide the axe head into the sleeve you see the lower comp strap going into at the bottom of the pack. I know it might sound confusing, but it does work. Watch the videos again and scrutinize the Altra's features, you'll see pretty much how it works.
Take a look at the image I just posted... I think it might help!
Thanks guys. Indeed in the video it does show an ice axe in a smaller Altra and it seem the larger ones have the same attachment points. It's just not the normal attachments that we see on most packs. But then again it is Arcteryx!
How many liters or cubic inches is the...
How many liters or cubic inches is the main compartment? (not the Kangaroo pouch)
Arc'teryx equipment team: "The capacity of the entire pack is 65L when the lid is closed at its optimal height. This closure can expand to overstuff the pack and the capacity goes up to 75L's total. This however may leave some spots on the pack susceptible to water leaking in and hitting fabric that is not as water resistant.
The Kangaroo Pouch has a capacity of approximately 12L So the (main compartment) Pack will be 53L with an expansion to 63L total."
I wonder whether the wingman pockets are included in the volume rating? They are quite large... easily a liter or two each.

Two militant suspects killed in police raid on Kenyan coast
By Joseph Akwiri
MOMBASA, Kenya (Reuters) - Kenyan police shot dead a Muslim cleric suspected of ties to Somalia's al Shabaab militants in the city of Mombasa on Sunday, the latest in a string of raids against alleged sympathisers of the Islamist militants along the east African coast.
Local residents said gunfire erupted in the early hours when police broke into Omar Faraj's house in the city's rundown Majengo district, the same area where the radical preacher Aboud Rogo, shot dead in August by unknown gunmen, held sermons.
Riot police patrolled Majengo's garbage-clogged streets and tensions ran high in the morning, raising fears of a repeat of the deadly rioting that broke out after Rogo's killing.
Police said a man arrested on Saturday carrying grenades on a bus to Mombasa had led them to Faraj's house. He was also killed by gunfire during the raid, police said, without explaining the exact circumstances.
Neighbours said they collected dozens of spent bullet cartridges and tear gas canisters.
"We have compelling reason to believe that the suspects had ties with a terrorist organisation. We are linking them with al Shabaab," John Gachomo, deputy criminal investigation officer for Kenya's Coast region, told Reuters.
He declined to give further details, saying two more suspects being held in custody were providing information.
The August clashes in Mombasa exposed the social, political and sectarian divides that run deep along the Swahili coastline, including across the border in Tanzania , and raised the spectre of more violence ahead of Kenya's presidential election next year. Continued...

Buyer's Guide
Endpoint security tools: A buyer's guide
A collection of articles that takes you from defining technology needs to purchasing options
Fundamentals of endpoint security: Antimalware protection in the enterprise
Expert Ed Tittel explains how endpoint antimalware protects end-user devices and the networks they connect to from malicious code.
Endpoint security tools: A buyer's guide
Endpoint antimalware protection is a type of application that actively works to prevent malware from infecting a computer. In many such products, the security technology extends to virtual desktops and mobile devices, as well as workstations and laptops.
Common types of malware that affect computers and all kinds of mobile devices include viruses, Trojan horses, worms, spyware, rootkits and the like.
The term "endpoint" with "antimalware" usually implies a product is designed for use within an organization (versus individual consumer use on a one-off or household basis), which could mean a small business, branch office, midsize company, government agency or enterprise.
With hundreds of thousands of different kinds of malware in the wild, and with cyberattacks on the rise, one hyper-critical issue for organizations of any size is ensuring strong protection against malware. Plus, organizations that fall under the regulatory umbrella of laws like the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or adhere to PCI DSS standards for accepting payment cards, must run antimalware software as a part of their compliance requirements.
The beauty of endpoint antimalware software suites
Endpoint protection must be able to prevent malware attacks, protect users (while exchanging emails, browsing the Web or connecting devices), and stop the proliferation of any attacks that manage to succeed. To meet those goals, today's endpoint antimalware suites provide layered protection in the form of robust antivirus functionality -- with the ability to shield against new or otherwise unknown threats, aka zero-day threats -- antispyware, email inbox protection, host-based firewall, data loss prevention, warnings when visiting websites that could pose safety risks, and much more.
The beauty of such antimalware suites is that a single package with multiple functionalities presents a cohesive defense between external malware and internal systems and data. This type of in-depth defense uses different methods to stop malware so an attempted attack or intrusion is unlikely to succeed simply by making its way through a single layer of protection. Plus, a suite is easier for IT to manage than a collection of different applications from different vendors.
Think of a computer or device with endpoint antimalware installed as a heavily fortified castle with thick walls, a moat, steel gates and drawbridges. Guards -- inside and out -- constantly watch for suspicious activity, ready to block or slay the "dragons."
Characteristic features of endpoint antimalware protection
Here are some typical features found in these kinds of software suites:
- Antivirus: Malware writers go to great lengths to create malware that can avoid detection and resist removal. Today's antimalware products typically combine signature-based scanning with heuristics technology and cloud-based global threat intelligence to recognize and root out malware on systems and prevent infections in the first place. (Heuristics is the practice of identifying malware based on previous experience, observations of malware behavior and typical points of attack.) This combination of antivirus technologies is also effective against zero-day threats, which have historically posed major challenges to IT security teams.
- Antispyware: A malicious spyware infection is probably easier to pick up than a common cold, and it's a major threat to protecting sensitive or confidential data. Antispyware software runs constantly in the background to block spyware installation, regardless of the source.
- Data loss prevention (DLP): The technologies involved in DLP aim to protect data that leaves the security of the internal business network, whether it's via email messages, USB drives, on a laptop or mobile device, or uploaded to the cloud.
- Desktop firewall: Although a network should always be protected by a firewall, having a second firewall running on the endpoint is another layer of defense against malware that finds any cracks in the armor.
- Device control: Malware can infect a computer that isn't connected to a network or the Internet. Connecting a USB device to a computer or installing software from a CD or DVD always runs the risk of transferring an infected application to the target machine. Device control allows IT to restrict or block user access by setting and enforcing device access rules.
- Email protection: This component of antimalware suites attempts to filter out phishing emails, spam and other messages that carry malicious or otherwise suspect content.
- Website browsing protection: Also referred to as reputation technology, most antimalware suites consult some type of ratings database that indicates whether a website is safe to browse or not. With this type of protection in place, those websites that are indicated as not safe will not be opened. Users will receive warn-off messages instead.
In addition to the above features, some endpoint antimalware suites roll in intrusion detection and prevention functionality, application control and network access control. Some packages also perform patch assessment and management, in which system threats are assessed and the most critical patches are applied first, as well as vulnerability assessments and even full-disk encryption to protect stored data.
Deploying and managing endpoint antimalware products
Typically, endpoint antimalware products require an administrator to install a management console on a server to help manage clients, product licenses and logs.
This step also creates a database containing settings, privileges, events and security policies. An organization that's very large or has multiple sites may need to install additional management servers for performance reasons, as well as to replicate data. The next step is to install software (sometimes referred to as an "agent") on client computers and devices, either directly or across the network.
Regardless of the approach taken, clients must be configured for client software updates (automatic or pushed from the server) and virus definition updates, at a minimum.
Overall, endpoint antimalware protection is an important and necessary element in any organization's security infrastructure -- though it shouldn't be the only element organizations implement. Before diving in, IT managers and security specialists should assess their environments to determine what they need specifically to protect, and should look ahead three to five years at how their environment is expected to change.
It's also a good idea to research several highly rated endpoint antimalware packages to see how their features compare, determine which packages are most suitable to the organization's size and needs, and keep an eye on costs to get the best product for the budget.

Re: Smallest Diesel Generator Carrying Sailboat
There are many threads here on SN discussing that - I'd suggest you do a search on various terms relating to solar and or hybrid powered boats.
In my opinion, no - the technology just is not ready yet, at least not without a LOT of money, and a LOT of compromise.
I can deal with kerosene lamps when the batts are dead, that's a compromise I can make. I won't compromise safety - and that means the ability to get out from under a storm. Range and speed just aren't words one uses on a hybrid boat.
Re: Smallest Diesel Generator Carrying Sailboat
In relation to the generator issue, I am new to the sailing community and am exploring the idea of an all electric Fountain Pajot 38. Is is possible to have enough pv panels and wind power to to so? I'm trying to be self sufficient on the sea, as my family and I will be setting sail with a limited budget. Is there sufficient room for a battery bank to run two electric engines and all the needs for a family of 5? Would I need a generator? Is there room for one? If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate them. I am actively shopping for an FP 38 at a good price, maybe one needing new engines. Just want to be off fossil fuels altogether and don't mind paying up front for the freedom. Thanks much.
Re: Smallest Diesel Generator Carrying Sailboat
I currently have a 4.5k on my 41 Gulfstar, but I am considering downsizing. I live in the northern Gulf Coast area and summers are hot here, and winters are cold for overnight stays, but we do get to have year round sailing. I thought I would be going cruising at some point so I bought a bigger boat, but now the cruising plans are not working out and I am trying to keep the 'bigger' boat feel for my wife. She likes the boat and does try to enjoying it, but to make her stay on a smaller boat with out the conveniences I have provided thus far would only make things worse for her. So, the compromise, a smaller boat with the same amenities, and I can single-hand more on my own. The bigger boat does require us both to operate and I think a smaller one would make outings more fun for her if she didn't have to worry about doing things - except being pretty.
That's the idea.
Re: Smallest Diesel Generator Carrying Sailboat
There's a big cockpit locker on my Starwind 27 that could accomdate a diesel genset. Especially a tiny one like this: NEXT-GEN - Marine Power Units
I also have space under the V-berth for an air-conditioning unit if I really wanted one.
The catch would be that I would have no storage at all.
Re: Smallest Diesel Generator Carrying Sailboat
pye, I'm sure someone must offer one but I've never seen or heard of it and wouldn't expect to find it on any used boat in that market. the problem is that the smallest diesel gensets tend to be 10,000 kilowatt in capacity, and most boats that size don't need, or have the room to spare, a genset that big.
Which also usually means a huge battery bank to match the genset, since most folks want to run whatever they have off the batteries, not the generator.
Running luxuries on a genset that way is more of a trawler thing. Not common on sailboats. So you are unlikely to find a boat equipped that way, but if you want to have a genset installed, your only limit is buying a boat big enough to carry it all.
Re: Smallest Diesel Generator Carrying Sailboat
not sure what your cruising plans are but we find we never use our AC when on the hook, just not worth the noise and consumption.

There's lots of boats that have space to fit both into. I used to have a Catalina 30 and while I didn't have either, I'm sure I could have squeezed in a 6 gal water heater and an AC unit.
My Catalina 34 came with the water heater and I had an AC unit installed in a hanging locker.

Re: Smallest Diesel Generator Carrying Sailboat
Our 2008 Beneteau 343 has a *HUGE* locker on the starboard side that could easily fit a genset. We choose to use it for storage though and operate with a Honda EU2000 for those times when batteries are too drained or when we need AC. It works.

Re: Smallest Diesel Generator Carrying Sailboat
Not many boats in that size range came with a genset. It was usually dealer or owner installed. Finding the space to install one can be tricky.
We have an engine driven 5kw generator on our boat that takes up very little space. It is about twice the size of an alternator. It is mounted on the front of the engine and requires two drive belts. There is also a small control box in the sail locker and a switch on our panel. The brand is Seapower.

Gang of Three Conform for One
New York, NY —
It's the first time Democrats take control of the chamber in more than 40 years.
Bronx Senators Ruben Diaz Senior and Pedro Espada Junior along with Brooklyn Senator Carl Krueger were being wooed by Republicans to support their agenda and abandon Smith.
But after a closed-door meeting today, sources say the senators were promised influential posts and committee assignments.
Smith's spokesman, Hank Sheinkopf, says the support will make a big difference.
SHEINKOPF: Real rules changes, an African American as leader of the Senate, the consequences are extraordinary, Democrats in charge and it's a historic shift in New York state politics.
The Senate is expected to vote in Smith as majority leader in January.
Democrats now hold a slim majority with 32 seats compared to 30 for the Republicans.

And all I gotta say is
Somewhere / somehow I have developed a "push" and a trigger jerk. 15 yds with decent 3" groups but all at 8 o'clock and about 4" off center.
After 50 rounds or so I was starting to return to "normal" with 3" groups at 9 o'clock about 3" - 4" left of center consistently. I decided to quit while I was ahead instead of wasting my time and money.
Maybe it was just the day. Maybe it was the ammo. I sure hope it was something besides me....

''full circle''
Artists working with repurposed materials take things some would consider to be at the end of their usefulness and create something new. That's the premise behind the ''full circle'' exhibit at the Art Car Museum, which features new works created from recycled and reappropriated items, from newspapers to garbage, by five artists. Among them is Kenn Coplan, who spends his days working in Hollywood as an art director and production manager. His artwork involves mind-reeling creations that challenge the ideas of decay and beauty. Among his most well-known work is his Rust Angels series, an ambitious project to create 1,000 seraphic icons using discarded metal Coplan has found in the desert. (The series emulates the story of Sadako Sasaki, a young girl who tried to make 1,000 paper cranes in an effort to win good health after she was irradiated in the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima during World War II.) One piece Coplan will be exhibiting at ''full circle'' is a startling work built from the remains of a printing press. The piece shows a young boy, arms raised as in the famous Holocaust image of a Warsaw ghetto being emptied, trapped behind a concentration camp-style fence. David Best, Tania Botelho, Susan Spjut and Brian Cavanaugh are also exhibiting.

The fear of breast cancer hangs over many women like a dark cloud.
Edibaldo Silva, M.D., Ph.D., professor of surgical oncology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, understands why some women prefer to take immediate, even drastic, action in order to achieve peace of mind.
But Silva, who specializes in the research and treatment of breast cancer, counsels his patients to stop, take a breath, and sit down with their team of health care providers to determine their condition and discuss their options first.
A week or two or three of gathering information wont hurt your long-term prognosis, he said: We have to assure the patient that things dont change in a day or two or three or four or five or six or seven or eight.
But increasingly, What you see in the U.S. now is women have a lump in the breast and they find its cancer, and the next day they are having bilateral double mastectomy, Silva said. No consideration of counseling, genetic testing, none of that.
In fact, on average, among women who have a double mastectomy in the U.S., Silva said only 29 percent ever even discuss the subject with a genetic counselor to see if they carry mutated BRCA genes which cause breast and incurable ovarian cancer.
Studies by the University of Michigan, the Mayo Clinic and others show most women are doing it out of fear.
Silva empathizes. But he said its important to remember that only 5 percent of women who contract breast cancer have bad genes. The rest, he said, simply had bad luck, likely a one-time occurrence.
And their cancer is often best treated with lumpectomies and radiation, the effectiveness of which we know is equivalent to mastectomy, Silva said.
A possible option for many women diagnosed with breast cancer could be to start chemotherapy while simultaneously taking the time to gather information, Silva said.
First, its doing something; it is actively fighting the cancer. Second, if surgery is necessary, chemotherapy is a head start, making the surgery more effective and easier to complete. And third, in some cases, the cancer may be gone by the end of the chemo treatment.
And by gone, I mean you cant find it, Silva said.
If you are worried that you carry the BRCA gene mutation, draw up your family tree, Silva said, and visit with a genetic counselor to see if you should get further testing.
The odds are overwhelmingly in your favor that you are not a gene carrier, Silva said.
But if you are among the statistically select few, it is serious.
Those who do have the mutated genes but do not have cancer eventually will need a double mastectomy and removal of their ovaries. The gene causes a 20-40 percent risk of developing incurable ovarian cancer, Silva said.
UNMC generates breakthroughs that make life better for people throughout Nebraska and beyond, the institution says. Its education programs train more health professionals than any other institution in the state.

" Brand: Cadbury / Type: Caramel "
I know! Another food related review but felt I had to do this as I'm not impressed with this product.
I brought a tub or pack (not sure which they are really)of these Cadbury snaps last week from the Co op as they were in the reduced section, Now I know why they were all there and had not been Snapped up, Snapped up get it? lol never mind.
These snaps come in a cardboard tub type pack which upon opening reveals a long foil packet. Upon opening the foil packet you find approximately 36 snaps in a plastic tray with 3 sections each holding 12 snaps.
Each Snap is made of very thin delicate brittle chocolate which is curved shaped just like a Pringle. The chocolate contains tiny rice crispies therefore giving it a bumpy texture. When broken or bitten into it does make a snap noise but not the crackle and pop...
The chocolate has a caramel flavour to it but not overly strong.
I personally don't like these and this is coming from a chocoholic. I didn't like the texture from the rice crispie bits and found them really too thin to be enjoyable. I'm sure I'm going to get told by many that these are really nice now but they are not for me.
They can be brought from some supermarkets and many smaller stores too. They don't seem to be as easy to buy as most chocolate so I do wander if they are going to discontinue them. Found this out when researching the price....
Average cost for a tub is about 1.50. My tub was 78p reduced so guessing they had half priced it.
Snaps are also available in other flavours which are, plain chocolate, mint, orange and hazelnut.
My mate brought 3 boxes of Cadburys Snaps last night when her and another friend came round to keep me company while I babysat my little sisters.
One of the boxes was the Caramel flavour and they were delicious. The Snaps are curvy just like Pringles only they are made of milk chocolate that looks a bit nobbly because there are pieces of crisped rice mixed in with the chocolate.
They are caramel flavoured all through the chocolate curve and haven't actually got any caramel in them. As soon as you open the foil wrapping the smell of rich chocolate and very sweet caramel comes out and it smells delicious. THe flavour is wicked, a smooth creamy chocolate that has been mixed with a strong toffee flavour.
These are loads sweeter than the mint ones I tried for the first time last night too. The caramel flavour makes them less posh tasting than the mint ones and I think I could eat this flavour more often than any of the others because even though they have got a strong flavour they're not heavy to eat. The mint ones got a bit sickly after I'd ate a few but the caramel ones I kept dipping my hand into the box and know I got more than my fair share of these!
The chocolate is very smooth and melts quick in my mouth and this makes the Snaps seem loads richer than they should being so thin. They do make a snapping noise when you bite into them because the chocolate is brittle but with this flavour I put the whole thing into my mouth and let it melt because that made the sweet caramel flavour come through better for some reason.
I love these Snaps and will deffo buy them again. They are £1.59 for about 30 thin chocolates and they are worth that just for the lovely texture without even thinking about the taste because the smooth and creamy chocolate goes soooooo good with the crispy rice pieces and the whole thing is just yummy.
Thin wedges of Cadbury milk chocolate with crispy cereal pieces for added crunch.

Just looking for a fast answer
I read a bit and I found that the performance problem is about the "injection mode" or some other default setup in BackTrack 5r3 that I can find for this USB.
I am actually running or making test primarily in a VMware workstation 8
these are my setups
Laptop Dell i5110 i7-2670QM 8RAM 750GB Vt compatible activated
USB Intellinet Wireless (Ralink RT2571 / RT73 )
Host: Windows 7 Ultimate 64
VMware workstation 8
Guest: BT5r3 32 VMware Gnome - vt desactivated
I disabled the VMware network adapter and connected the USD wifi directly to the BT5 guest trying to find the cause of the bad performance.
I am losing between 20% or 60% of the packets in a ping test
If close all the applications that use internet and left the ping alone, the ratio is quite better, from 10% to 25% packets lost
BT5 work perfect in the bridge or NAT mode (vmware virtual adapter) and the usb works perfect in ubuntu, win7 or xp, I don't care at all wifi hacking, I just need performance and reliability so delete some of that drivers configurations or apps for wifi stuff is completely ok
Some ideas?

Anti-Roma bias, job fears aid far-right in central Europe
By Jan Lopatka
CIERNY BALOG, Slovakia (Reuters) - The people of this peaceful village at the foot of the Slovak mountains vented their anger by electing as their regional governor a man who calls his Roma compatriots "parasites" and admires a wartime figure who collaborated with the Nazis.
Marian Kotleba's landslide victory in November exposed pent-up frustration over unemployment and neglect by mainstream parties, together with a deep-seated animosity towards the Roma, factors that have built support for extremist politicians in Slovakia and elsewhere in central Europe.
Still, many were shocked when Kotleba - a former high school teacher who looks back fondly on the Slovak state that was allied with the Nazis during World War Two - came from nowhere to win 77 percent of the vote in Balog, 260 km (160 miles) northeast of Bratislava, the capital.
Overall, in the central Slovak region of Banska Bystrica, he won 55 percent, enough to become regional governor and a further sign that some European voters frustrated with the economic crisis were willing to take chances with extremists.
Nationalist sentiment is increasingly directed against Slovakia's Roma, a minority of 400,000 in the country of 5.4 million who live on the fringes of society, suffering from poverty, poor education and limited job prospects. In some settlements they have no access to running water.
With European Union expansion opening borders, deprived regions have seen waves of departures, including some of Europe's 10 million Roma, to countries such as Canada and Britain, where immigration has again become a hot issue.
British Prime Minister David Cameron has imposed new regulations on migrants amid fears of an influx of poor people from Romania and Bulgaria, for whom restrictions on free movement within the EU expired at the end of December.
Kotleba, who did not respond to requests to be interviewed for this article, ran on a platform that derided "Gypsy parasites". Some Roma, whose forebears arrived in central Europe from India in the Middle Ages, see Gypsy as a derogatory term. Continued...

First-principles study of the interaction and charge transfer between graphene and metals
Khomyakov, P.A. and Giovannetti, G. and Rusu, P.C. and Brocks, G. and Brink, J. van den and Kelly, P.J. (2009) First-principles study of the interaction and charge transfer between graphene and metals. Physical Review B: Condensed matter and materials physics, 79 (19). p. 195425. ISSN 1098-0121
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy
|Measuring the transport of electrons through a graphene sheet necessarily involves contacting it with metal electrodes. We study the adsorption of graphene on metal substrates using first-principles calculations at the level of density-functional theory. The bonding of graphene to Al, Ag, Cu, Au, and Pt (111) surfaces is so weak that its unique "ultrarelativistic" electronic structure is preserved. The interaction does, however, lead to a charge transfer that shifts the Fermi level by up to 0.5 eV with respect to the conical points. The crossover from p-type to n-type doping occurs for a metal with a work function ~5.4 eV, a value much larger than the work function of free-standing graphene, 4.5 eV. We develop a simple analytical model that describes the Fermi-level shift in graphene in terms of the metal substrate work function. Graphene interacts with and binds more strongly to Co, Ni, Pd, and Ti. This chemisorption involves hybridization between graphene pz states and metal d states that opens a band gap in graphene, and reduces its work function considerably. The supported graphene is effectively n-type doped because in a current-in-plane device geometry the work-function lowering will lead to electrons being transferred to the unsupported part of the graphene sheet.

Lanierfan, Thanks for that piece... it was one of the best behind the scenes reports we've had so far... coming from Blakely, I'll trust it to be a true analysis.
How can you read that and not get fired up for the season?
That's exactly what I was thinking! I'm loving the news so far. I can't wait to see these guys in action in a preseason game.
Holy crap, check out the pink hat! I guess it's OK since it's for a good cause. http://www.nba.com/pistons/news/rookiediary_051005.html
A.S. Blakeley's Saturday report From yesterday's mlive forum:
Almost About only 2 days till it all starts. This felt like the slowest summer because I have been waiting so long for this team to get revenge, and for some reason the days feel longer. I hate that.
Some more ASB (Blakely) thoughts on Camp: "Surprise player I believe will be Mo Evans. This guy is going to really make a lot of teams realize they totally missed the boat on this kid. I think he will give McDyess a run for being this team's top Sixth man this year". "Flip has tried a lot of different combinations, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are times when he'll experiment with playing a big lineup of ben, sheed, dice, with tay and chauncey in the backcourt, or tay and rip in the backcourt. i could definitely see something like that happening from time to time. as far as darko at the 3 spot, i don't see that happening much, if at all. but if he's thinking about it, now in the preseason would be as good a time as any to try it out". "Jason will be the best player that you won't see much of this season. He's undersized for the 4 spot, but he's got such a nice touch inside the lane, and is a much better leaper than he looks. ... before all is said and done, this guy is going to be a really good player in this league". "He's (Glynny) here, in training camp, but he hasn't looked real good. This team already has a lot of depth inside, and Andreas has done nothing thus far to warrant him sticking around much beyond the next couple of weeks. Don't be surprised if he's one of the first players waived from training camp". "He's (Amir) got the athleticism that reminds you of Amare Stoudemire, but he has yet to develop that killer instinct. He's great at catching the ball in traffic, and finishing. But his lack of strength is a huge problem for him. He's just not strong enough to play the kind of game at this level that, skill-wise, he's capable of playing. I see him at least a year or two away from being a guy that could help this team". "Flip has been mixing his lineups a lot in the preseason, which isn't unusual. All three have been running with the second unit at some point during the preseason. I believe when all is said and done, Evans and Delfino will be on the second unit. Dupree has been really solid thus far in the preseason, but I just don't see the Pistons keeping him around. It has nothing to do with talent and everything to do with numbers. Simply put, I think they feel they need Acker as a reserve point guard behind chauncey, carlos arroyo and lindsey hunter, more than they need ronald as a reserve small forward. The best thing for all involved would be to trade ronald, probably some time shortly before the season opener. He's good enough to where Detroit could at least get a second-round pick for him, I believe".
Review of preseason Ok, there was some debate about how Flip should run the preseason. Some said he should use the last few games to get his rotation down. I said no, he should be using the time to continue to evaluate players, so he would get things right. Well, we did not see any real step up in the regular starter's minutes, did we? Flip did the right thing, continue to evaluate players. And I believe he will continue to do so into the start of the regular season, and to some extent thruout the season. What a contrast between one preseason and the next for Darko. With Brown, Darko's minutes were limited last preseason, while this year Darko played more minutes than any other player. Less some think I am slamming Brown here, I will point out that Carlos Delfino got the most minutes in camp last preseason.

By the numbers of minutes played, the top ten guys in the rotation look to be our starters, then Arroyo, Delfino, Evans, Dyess, and Darko for a second unit. However, two other players, Dale Davis, and Jason Maxiell, could easily end up playing a whole lot. By the playoffs, Hunter could be in the mix, Amir Johnson might start playing, and Alex Acker as well. I won't make any assumptions at this point. Some might choose to dismiss any of the rookies ending up being a big part of things this year, but I will not. We got a coach who apparently is willing to keep an open mind on such things. No real surprises with our starters or Dyess for the preseason, although I will say it was great to see Ben really get up for those rebounds like he was truly full of energy. This season, I bet he stays that way all season, because he will not get overplayed. With Maxiell, Darko, and Davis all getting some mintues in the big position, Ben simply won't called upon to play anywhere near the minutes from last year. Darko led the league in blocks with 23. Evans led the league in 3 point shooting percentage, and shot 13 for 21. Acker led the team in assists per 48 minutes with 13.3. Ben was up there just under 20 bounds per 48 minutes, pretty amazing. Arroyo got 9 assists per 48, just beating out CB in this. (Though neither was half as impressive as Acker.) Arroyo shot 50%, pretty darn good for a guard. No three's though. What, a backup guard shooting 50% and getting all those assists? Yes, that 4 million a year is looking like a pretty darn good deal right now.

Dupree is the big question mark at the moment. He shot just over 50%. But made only half his free throws, really cutting down on his effectiveness in going inside. (7-14) His rebounds per 48 were good at about 9. He had a few blocks in his 87 minutes. Just 4 assists though. Not too good. No steals. More turns, 6, than assists. Good perimeter defender, not too good guarding around the basket though as he is slight of build and does not have really good height. Little noticed, Maxiell did get 71 minutes of play in. He shot ok ,45%. (14-31) This was a mix of jumpers and dunks. I'd say a lot of those jumpers he missed out of nerves. He can shoot those midrangers quite well. Rebounds, 14.8 per 48 minutes, not bad at all. Four blocks. I don't think he showed any weakness on defense. Amir Johnson only played 19 mintues. He made 2 of his 4 shots. His 48 minute stats on rebounds was 15.1. He also hit 3 of 5 free throws. In case anyone missed this fact, Amir Johnson was signed to a two year contract, with the first year being guaranteed. He is projected for this year to play small forward for us, although in the future he will be first a power forward and then a center. Why didn't he play more? First, he already made the team. 2nd, Dupree needed to be fully evaluated at small forward. Dumars does not intend to send Amir Johnson to the NBDL, so expect to see him play. At least some. After that, it will depend on how he does, what promise he shows. Could be a little or a lot. But don't be surprised if it is a lot, because this guy can really rebound. Dale Davis got 12 rebounds in his 38 minutes. Thats 15.2 per 48 mintues. Not bad at all. He hit one short jumper, got a dunk, made one of two free throws. He is capable of being a major part of our rotation, but right now, nobody knows just how much he will play. I believe Maxiell and Darko will get lots of ops to get playing time, then Davis will come in and do what the kids can't, if anything. Acker did not show ability to stop quick guards from getting inside our defense. Sound familiar. Last year, it was Smush Parker who impressed with his scoring, but could not play good enough respect in this same respect to stay on our team. With Acker, it is a bit different. One, we signed him, to a non-guaranteed contract, one which automatically becomes a full year contract if he stays beyound January 10 (I believe that is the right date-not sure though.) In other words, we signed him when we did not have to. He was our 2nd round pick, so no other NBA team could sign him. We could have given him a camp contract, evaluated him, and let him go if we did not like what we saw. And we would then still have his rights. So why did Joe sign the guy to the non-guaranteed contract instead? Joe expected Acker to make the squad. Which is why we did not see much of Acker, in my opinion. His slot was safe from the start. Back to Dupree. So why the evaluation? Simple. There is another player besides Acker who might not be part of the team. Joe Dumars has to weigh how good Dupree is with how healthy Hunter might be by the end of the season. Tough choice. I belive either Hunter gets let go, or Dupree.
That was right on the money (floor time for the bench) with what FLip said in the DETnews article. I had some concern about the starters but if Flip is going to report that they picked up the system, then its all good. Does the NBAhave streaming video of games? I don't have cable and I get maybe 2 stations...one is PBS and they ain't going to show pistons ball. Alright! Lets get this season started!

Patricio Valledares will direct. Jennifer Blanc- Biehn will produce along with Loris Courci, Evelyn Belmar, Time Lock Films and Valle Studio Films. The film will be in pre-sales at Cannes this May with international sales being handled by Dimitri Stephanides of WTF.
"We feel this story needs to be told," commented Jennifer Blanc-Biehn producer ofHidden in the Woods. "It's based on a true criminal case. Three out of every four women are abused throughout the world so we hope to be able to not only tell a story but also donate some of the proceeds to a few women's charities to stop the violence." First look"Poster art teaser by DOG & PONY. DOG & PONY is an award-winning graphic design agency specializing in key art. They create strategic advertising and marketing deliverables for entertainment, film, and brand clients."
Treachery was shot last year in Los Angeles and stars Biehn, Gunn and Jennifer Blanc-Biehn. The film also features Matthew Ziff (Hardflip), Sarah Butler (I Spit on Your Grave), Caitlin Keats (Kill Bill: Vol. 2) and Chris Meyer (Kiss of the Damned). The film was written and directed by Travis Romero, and produced by Blanc-Biehn Productions, Michael Biehn, Jennifer Blanc-Biehn, Ryan Azevedo, Kate Rees Davies, Tony DeBenedetto, Natalie Ford and Paul Foley.
Hidden in the Woods tells the story of two sisters who have been raised in isolation, subjected to the torment of their abusive, drug dealing father. When they finally decide to report him to the police, he kills the two officers and is put in jail. But things go from bad to worse when the girls must answer to their Uncle Costello, a psychotic drug kingpin, who shows up looking for his missing merchandise which is hidden in the woods.

Would You Break Up With Your Significant Other Over This?
Pranks can be funny, but sometimes they can make a person a little crazy (like the guy above). And I think this guy has gone too far.

If Obama is re-elected, will it because of racism, not in spite of it?
posted at 1:19 pm on September 20, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
There is no question that Mitt Romney has run a less than stellar campaign so far. He reached his high point in the presidential polls on Sept. 5, when he and the President Obama were tied at 46.8%. Since that time, Romney's numbers have slipped, mainly because of ill-chosen comments he made and/or the mainstream media's slanted coverage of those comments.
Yet, Romney's shortcomings as a candidate can't alone explain why he is still trailing Obama. Other factors have to be at work. Before exploring one explanation for the current polls, some background is needed, beginning with the second installment of a two-part analysis of the state of the race by Sean Trende of Real Clear Politics. In it, Trende writes:
[M]ost years with economies similar to this one—1960, 1976, 1992, 2000, 2004—see party power transfer, albeit in a reasonably close election. The one outlier here is 2004, where an incumbent president won by a healthy share in a mediocre economy. But Bush lost voters who cast their ballots based on the economy by over 60 points that year.
Even if Obama's poll numbers reflect, as Trende speculates, that voters might be grading him "on a curve here given the mess he inherited,"there is no escaping the dismal metrics of his first term or what similar numbers have portended for previous presidents seeking a second term. Consider: No incumbent since Franklin Roosevelt has won re-election with the unemployment rate over 8% at the time. Most prognosticators believe that the current unemployment rate, which has been above 8% for 43 consecutive months, is likely to change radically between now and the election. This fact alone would make an Obama victory in November truly historic.
Another way in which a second Obama term would be a first is that, despite his administration's middling success in adding jobs to the economy, he has failed to keep pace with new entrants into the job market. On top of this, there are the crushing budget deficits under his administration. In 2011, the federal budget deficit was $1.087 trillion. At the current rate, it will be $1.139 trillion for 2012, a 4.75% increase in deficit spending.
There is more. Factory orders are down. Ditto for household income, which has in fact fallen more since the beginning of the recovery than it did during the recession itself. The cost of gasoline at the pump, meanwhile, is up, and so is the number of Americans on food stamps.
And yet Obama remains not only in the race but ahead, if by a statistically insignificant margin. Which raises the hypothesis: Could the factor responsible for this be the president's race? Does he lead by 3.3% in the Real Clear Politics average because of—rather than in spite of (as so many have argued)—the color of his skin?
In April, MSNBC's Chris Matthews, who has intemperately compared anti-Obama "fanatics" in the U.S. with Afghan murderers, asked on air:
Is there going to be a reluctance on the part of the voters and the political community that talks politics as we get into November about dumping the first African-American president?
Is there going to be something that just wretches [sic] people? 'Wait a minute here, this guy is going to knock out the first guy who got aboard?'
Even the staunchest supporter of affirmative action should be stopped in his tracks by this galling question. Electing a man because of his race is no less bigoted than un-electing a man because of his race. Yet, racism that favors Obama seems to be a factor in the 2012 election. A recent Quinnipiac poll of Virginia voters found that black support for the president runs 93% to 6%.
In 2008, stratospheric support for Obama among blacks was explained away by many as racial pride. It was still without justification. This time around it seems at least to some degree to be blindness to any consideration but race, which is an outrage.

I have been staying inside ALOT more lately. The ice storm has been cold, and well.. icy!
When mommy takes me outside I pull her down the driveway (since its so slippery) She just slides, she can't stop me without falling. She doesn't like the ice for that.
I like to slide on the fun, you just take a run and then stop on it, but you actually don't stop you keep sliding, I get to stay inside about 24/7 - mommy feels to bad leaving me out in the cold.
I hope any other dog out there in the ice storm is safe, and getting as spoiled as me :)
God Bless,
Lady Noel.
HELLO all of my dogster pals!
Its been awhile, Life has been very busy lately.
It's fall, and Im one!!
Colors outside are changing, weather is getting colder, and Im getting bigger!
I got some special treats for my 1st birthday. I also got a new collar! It was a special day.
I've calmed down a lot, my mom actually says "Good Girl!" and means it!
Im still jumping out of the fence, so mom put up a dog run in our backyard. Its a big place for me, and 6 foot tall. Nothing can keep me locked in though
Well My new nickname is Houdini!
I found out how to open the gate and get out to the front yard so my mom started have to tie me up.
Well, somehow I would still end up in the front yard, still not knowing how I was doing it mom put something to where I couldn't open the gate. Because when I went out to the front yard I would get into the trash, one day (during the day) when mom wasn't home I went around the neighborhood on trash day…I can still smell that yummy trash. Mom has to go and pick it up everywhere. I got in trouble.
Then the other day mom went outside and I was on the other side of our fence still hooked to the chain thing. They cant figure it out. And my lips are sealed!
Yesterday mom walked out the front yard and I was standing on top of the fence, balanced perfectly looking around. I stayed up there watching mom for about a minute. Incredible huh?
Just a minute ago mom saw me in the front yard again. Well its been raining almost all day, and we still have rain leftover from the last time it rained! So its really muddy out. And mom didn't want to take me through the house but she didn't have time to put her shoes on so she walked in the mud barefoot, she was so grossed out. She went to go put me back on the chain, knowing that it would only be 10 minutes before I would be out again and then she realized that my collar was in half! She has one half but cant find the other half…it was my pretty pink one too.
Sometimes she says I am to smart, is that possible?
So I got in trouble, then I started jumping on her and got her all muddy! It was so much fun. She got so angry. I laughed on the inside
Well I need to figure out how to get out of this new tie up thing, it has a built in collar…hmm…I will figure it out.
Hugs and Kisses!
Lady Noel

The Christmas cards that MPs are sending out this year offer a small glimpse of what a remarkable change has overtaken the House of Commons in recent years.
It is a vastly under-appreciated story.
There is rookie Mississauga Conservative MP Eve Adams, a single mom, with her son on her Christmas card. There is labour minister Lisa Raitt posing with her two sons, no dad in sight.
Of course, a lot more traditional Christmas card photos with dad, mom, the kids and the dog are flying out of MP offices.
Still, the Christmas cards tell at least part of the story of the remarkable 41st Parliament since Confederation.
The Commons has become a much more diverse place, much younger and more interesting: in other words, more representative of the Canada it represents. Guys in suits still predominate, of course, but far less so than just a few Parliaments ago.
The amazing 2011 election was a major factor, sending a large contingent of new MPs to the Commons, and in the case of the NDP, a strong Quebec core sprinkled with students, a teenager or two and as diverse a group of 20 somethings as you will find.
Among them was Ruth Ellen Brosseau, a 27-year-old single mother of a 10-year-old who was assistant manager of a university pub in Ottawa and amazingly won election in a Quebec rural riding she had never visited. Brosseau is now the NDP assistant agriculture critic, winning praise for her work on the file.
Among the NDP Quebec contingent were four McGill University students in Montreal who, like their colleagues, dislodged Bloc Québécois MPs who had dominated the province for almost two decades.
It was a revolution by voters looking for change.
But the parliamentary youth and diversity movement actually started several elections before as the country's political forces began to change.
Think back to 2004, when a 25-year-old recently-moved-to-Saskatchewan Conservative named Andrew Scheer unseated veteran New Democrat Lorne Nystrom and his more than 30-year parliamentary legacy.
This Christmas, Scheer is sending out a family photo Christmas card as the youngest speaker in Canadian history and the second youngest ever in the Commonwealth. He is winning praise from all sides for the job he is doing in a sometimes-raucous House.
However, perhaps the most striking characteristic of this Parliament is the number of women in the leather seats, many of them young, some of them single mothers or young mothers balancing family obligations and the intense political engagement that comes with the job.
This is a Parliament in which a young MP caused an uproar when she carried her infant into the House for a vote. But it reflected a new reality.
And it happened in a legislative chamber where not so many years ago, one of the few women MPs at the time asked a question about spousal abuse and was stunned when many men in the chamber joked about the issue by asking each other if they were still beating their wives.
Canadian politics has its detractors and there is much to disparage about the current meanness in the political discourse, but there is no denying that progress is being made in attracting young people and women to what was once an old-guy business.
The current House of Commons is proof positive.

DETROIT ľ Jakub Kindl again found a way to work his way in the Wingsĺ starting lineup.
ôWe just want him to compete hard defensively, be good defensively and not let people behind him,ö Wings coach Mike Babcock said.
Kindlĺs benching lasted all of two games because of a long-term injury Jonathan Ericsson suffered and heĺll be back along the blue line Saturday when Detroit plays at Florida.
ôIĺve just got to work harder, compete more,ö Kindl said.
Instead of calling up a defenseman from Grand Rapids, the Wings will go with the six healthy ones they have.
Ericsson is expected to be out three to five weeks with two fractured ribs he suffered in Mondayĺs 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders.
And just like last season, Kindl has found himself behind Brian Lashoff on the Wingsĺ blue line depth chart.
After missing the first three games last season with an injured groin, he was a healthy scratch in four of the next 14, sitting behind Lashoff.
ôWell heĺs just a simple player,ö Babcock said of Lashoff. ôHeĺs got to be real good in his own zone. He canĺt be in the chances against highlights, just canĺt be in them, and if heĺs not in them then weĺre happy because heĺs not going to do much for you offensively.ö
Kindl finished with the second best plus-minus (plus-15) on the team a year ago, second only to Pavel Datsyuk (plus-21) on the team. He also had four goals and nine assists in 41 games.
This year his offensive numbers are good (one goal, nine assists), but he has the third worst plus-minus rating (minus-10). Just Kyle Quincey (minus-13) and Todd Bertuzzi (minus-11) are worse.
ôWhen you look at a guy like (Brendan) Smith or you look at a guy like Kindl, theyĺre guys that have a chance to do more offensively but they canĺt be in all the chances against,ö Babcock said. ôWhen you start getting in on all the chances against and your numbers go down there all the time youĺre not playing much.ö
Detroit was expecting Kindl to slot right into a regular role along the blue line after losing three of their top four over the last two seasons and rewarded him with a four-year extension this offseason worth $9.6 million.
Samuelsson sits
After playing 13 games in a row, Mikael Samuelsson has found himself watching in street clothes in six of the last eight games.
ôItĺs extremely disappointing,ö Samuelsson said. ôItĺs out of my hands. Iĺm disappointed I canĺt be in the lineup.ö
Samuelsson, whoĺs played in 21 games this season, has one goal and three assists. Heĺs also a minus-5.
ôScore more,ö Samuelsson said when asked what he needs to do to get back in the lineup. ôIt all goes hand-in-hand. Itĺs a matter of ice time, itĺs a matter of confidence right now. Thatĺs what I need most of all.ö
The team even recalled Jordin Tootoo and inserted him into the lineup for two games, while Samuelsson, whoĺs averaging just under 10 minutes and 30 seconds of ice time a game, sat.
ôYou can say youĺve got to skate faster and battle harder, absolutely,ö Samuelsson said. ôI havenĺt played my best hockey. It has its reasons, too, but I donĺt want to comment on that. I just have to take it one day at a time.ö
Samuelsson, whoĺs in the final year of a two-year deal that pays him $3 million a season, was injured nearly the entire 2012-13 lockout-shortened season.
ôWhen youĺre 35 and youĺre sort of in the lineup, out of the lineup and when you do play, you donĺt play a lot of minutes, the natural thing to happen is you lose your confidence and start to play a game that isnĺt how you got here in the first place,ö Wings general manager Ken Holland said. ôHeĺs a guy we brought back because he plays puck possession and we thought he could play the right point on the power play and chip in 15-20 goals. Last year he was hurt (basically) the entire year. In the meantime we signed Daniel Alfredsson, (Stephen) Weiss and (Tomas) Tatar is an NHL. Weĺre deeper, we have more NHL forward that last year so thereĺs more competition.ö
