I'm in the same boat ^^^
Hi. I've spent a couple of hours on this and no joy yet.
My focus at the moment is using the aircrack suite of tools, their wiki says that my adapter is compatible according to it's PCI id.
The built-in wireless chip of the laptop is a BCM4303.
The kernel driver in use is the b43-pci-bridge.
I can bring down the interface then put it into monitor mode but when i then try 'ifconfig wlan0 up' i get this error :
ioctl(SIOCSIFFLAGS) failed: No such file or directory.
When i checked on that error i found that it may mean that firmware is missing.
So i followed the info on this page :
b43 - Linux Wireless
I've managed to extract the firmware into the directory but i'm at a loss as to how to activate the new firmware.
If anyone could point me to a helpful link that would be great.
Thank you.
I'm in the same boat ^^^

Foie gras, flying ants in Briton's Mexico kitchen
By Chris Aspin
ZITACUARO, Mexico (Reuters Life!) - British-born Diana Kennedy has left behind the bland flavors of her homeland to become the world authority on a bewildering array of Mexican recipes from corn fungus crepes to blood sausage tacos.
Now in her 80s, Kennedy is a cook's cook who was decorated with the Order of the Aztec Eagle, the highest honor given to foreigners in Mexico, for her work traveling around the country garnering recipes and cataloging them in her cookbooks.
In her adobe house near the western city of Zitacuaro where she once fed Britain's Prince Charles, she savors everything from Mexican flying ants and rich pumpkin seed sauces to stodgy British pork pies and Stilton cheese with a good port.
She bemoans cooking trends that place more emphasis on how a dish looks than how it tastes and says culinary schools should hold classes for diners to teach people how to taste.
"We are forgetting that food should taste good, not only look good, but it should taste good first," Kennedy said at her ecologically friendly home.
Born in Essex in southern England, Kennedy says her mother was a great cook and despite the household having little money, she remembers a childhood with a varied and tasty diet.
A lifetime of recipes later, Prince Charles ate lunch at her home in 2001 and Queen Elizabeth awarded her the MBE (Member of the British Empire) medal for furthering British-Mexican relations.
Kennedy ended up in Mexico after meeting her future husband Paul Kennedy, a Mexico-based New York Times correspondent, on the steps of a hotel in Haiti. They fell in love, and she joined him in 1957. Continued...

McKENZIE -- For the second straight night, Cumberland shooting went cold in the middle of the second half as No. 16 Bethel handed the Bulldogs their second loss of the young season, a 74-58 defeat in the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce Shootout Classic Saturday at Crisp Arena.
Cumberland (0-2) opened the second half trailing by just three points and remained close through the first media timeout at the 15:07 mark. Over the next nine minutes, CU would score just six points compared to 23 from the Wildcats, a run that would put BU up 65-43 with 5:45 remaining.
During that stretch, the Bulldogs were dominated in the paint as Bethel forwards Perica Glenn and Tayla Foster took control of the contest. The pair combined for 32 of the Wildcats' 44 second half points.
Cumberland continued to fight over the next three minutes using an 8-1 run, including three-pointers from Layce Coulter and Casie Cowan. The three ball continued to be a bright spot throughout the game, as the Bulldogs went 9-for-19, shooting 47 percent from behind the arc.
The run brought the Bulldogs within 12 with four minutes to play, but that would be the closest the team would get as Bethel used long possessions to milk the clock.
Senior TaCouya Allen provided a breakout performance for CU, as the senior scored a game-high 27 points. Allen shot 50 percent from the field, including 4-of-8 from three-point range.
The Bulldogs continued to struggle on the glass, as Bethel out-rebounded CU, 45-38. Katie Smith provided the team-high for Cumberland with seven boards.
Both squads struggled shooting in the early going, as the teams combined for just nine points in the opening four minutes. The Wildcats began to find a rhythm for the next three minutes, using a 10-5 run to take a 15-9 lead, its biggest of the first half.
The Bulldogs responded with seven of the next nine points as a three-pointer from Allen from the right corner brought the contest within one. CU would come to rely on the trey in the first half, hitting 4-of-8 attempts, two coming from Allen.
The senior used a 4-of-6 performance from the field in the first half to lead the Bulldogs with 13 points. At the break, Cumberland trailed by just three points at 30-27.
The CU women will open the home schedule at the Dallas Floyd Recreation Center Tuesday, Nov. 5 vs. Oakwood University at 6 p.m.

Mayor Caldwell Outlines Vision for the City
Mayor Kirk Caldwell said he will eliminate 618 vacant positions with the city and cut funding for additional slots. That would free up $37 million annually in the city's $2 billion operating budget. He delivered his state of the City Wednesday at McCoy Pavilion in Ala Moana Park. He says improving public parks is one of his priorities. He also plans to continue repaving Oahu's roads, update residents on progress on the city's rail project, and deal with the issue he says the city gets the most complaints about -- the homeless problem. Caldwell proposed spending $18.9 million of the city's Affordable Housing funds on the administration's Housing First shelter program, which he says gets homeless into housing with "an effective support system" to cope with addictions and other mental illnesses.

In honor of this vibrant winter season I believe that cranberry should be named the holiday color. You decorate your home in the color and, most importantly, you style the color into your hottest holiday wear. No other color screams holiday like cranberry. Fashionistas on campus use cranberry as a statement color piece in anything from jewelry to pants.
This Fashionista takes sleek black and makes it pop with a cranberry cable knit scarf. It is very easy to take a fall basic and turn it into the perfect casual holiday ensemble with a pop of color. As fall semester comes to an end and spring semester begins in January, you may want to keep hats and headbands in mind. Adding a cranberry hat or headband would be great for cold and snowy days of class. Though no Fashionista loves to transfer to winter wear from fall, where we were able to show off our most stylish attire without bulky outerwear, we must.
Like spoken in one of my previous posts the fall uniform most definitely contains riding boots, which can easily transition from fall to winter. They can be worn with jeans, leggings and dresses. Riding boots are one of the best investments any Fashionista can make for her wardrobe. They can be worn for two seasons and will have many walks around the block.
Do not miss this red-hot winter trend on campus this holiday season. Cranberry accessories, clothing and everything in between should be a part of your holiday checklist. I hope all of you readers have a happy holiday and safe travels. One piece of advice I will give this week is keep the important things close like your family, friends and fashion.

Exercise for Half an Hour Three Days a Week or Go for a Two-Hour Bike Ride on the Weekend?
Better choice: half an hour three days a week
The weekend-warrior approach may be tempting, but experts are unanimous in advising against it.
Ideally, you should aim for 30 to 60 minutes of activity at least five days a week. "Every time you exercise, you reap benefits," like lowering blood sugar and boosting metabolism, says Cedric Bryant.
Perhaps the biggest problem weekend warriors face is the risk of injury - overdoing an activity without gradually building up your endurance is a recipe for disaster.
But… For weight loss, you can burn just as many calories in one shot as you might spread over the week. "If it's weekend warrior or nothing, you're still better off exercising than sitting on the couch," Bryant says. If possible, spread the activity out over two days, and warm up before diving in.

Well ever since the night of the 4th...I've had none. The storm hit at 4am and lasted about 30 min. You could not see out the window's cause of all the rain and it sounded like a tornado rattling all the windows and they are doing flyby's to see if one went over the top of the city, because supposedly all the tall old treetops are twisted.
We were boxed by fallen trees and power lines all of saturday. I had to drive over the lawn to get out. My house was lucky...I have the biggest tree in the neighborhood, but it's still standing, but the tops are all broken and its just a matter of time before those fall 50+ feet to my yard or garage or fence. One tree landed on a house about 4 doors down and woke the lady that lived there...she went out on her porch to see what it was and it rolled down on her porch roof! Talk about scary. The house across the street from me lost a tree and it was laying over their truck...barely missing crushing it by about 6 inches...the branches held it up high enough. My parent's house, about 5 minutes away across the river, was untouched, but their garage is basically no more...the bricks are slowly falling off and its leaning about 2-3 ft to the side. A tree (about 50+ ft tall)from the opposite side of the neighbor's yard fell on it taking a another tree down on its way. The roots were alone 6in-12in in diameter taking a fence with them 10 ft in the air! You could walk under the fence easily.
My planted tanks are doing fine...actually growing more bushy without light??? I kept the C02 going and just left it as is. But my $$$$ reef tank is slowly falling apart :( I've only lost 2 fish thank god. One tang and a chromis, so my expensive fish (50-100+) are still doing ok, but my amenones are slowly dying. My corals didn't have a chance so I lost a lot there. I've been stirring the water with the backside of a net(oxygenates extremely well with that little loops on the end) every 30 mins of so...leaving it only a few times for a couple hours at most while I went shopping or to a friend's for a meal or some air conditioning and while I slept only a few hours (too hot and too worried about losing more $$ in saltwater).
I threw out all the food in the fridge and freezer yesterday. My fiance and I have been taking showers by candlelight and have been eating out the whole time. I'm going nuts here at work worrying about my fish. I don't think I'll have power till late tonight or tomorrow since its been raining off and on the last 2 days.
So it looks like I'm going to invest in a generator in a few weeks when I have the extra $$$...or is there a cheaper way to have power for a few days?
This has been a horrible holiday weekend I'll never forget!!!!
Sorry to hear about all the trouble! I live in hurricane country and even I've never been hit that hard! I can't afford a generator, but I do need to go and buy some battery operated aerators at the bait shop. For about $5, you can get the ones that are just a diaphragm pump running on a few D batteries that will run for hours and can drive a decent sized airstone.
But for $30, they have a small powerhead with an air injected venturi that runs off a 12V car battery. You could keep that reef aerated pretty well with one of those. Wal-Mart has them in the sporting goods department.
Glad to hear you're ok, though!
Hmm...thanx for that idea. It would have been nice if Walmart put them in their fish department so I knew they made such a thing ;)

, Section FINANCIAL, Page 30, Column , words
CHICAGO, March 7. -- One of the most significant features in the corn and hog situation is pointed out by a local statistician indicating an 85 per cent. supply of hogs with a 102 per cent. corn supply, making the corn-hog ratio 120. The corn supply in proportion to live stock is the heaviest since 1900.

Administrators in Central Office are making a team effort to cover Davis's responsibilities and help his family cope as well.
Hall said when he recently went to see Davis, "He seemed to be in good spirits and I told him we'd keep him informed about how things were going."
But he added that right now the main thing for Davis, who is in his 50s, is just to take it easy and get well.
Davis came to Wilson County Schools as Director in July 2007 from Scott County Schools.
Since then he has put plans in motion for the new Lebanon High School and is working on renovating Mt Juliet High and Middle Schools.
After the heart attack, Davis was given CPR and shock was administered with an Automatic External Defibrillator to "get his heartbeat back" by Lebanon Police officers. He was then transported to the hospital by Wilson County Emergency Management.

Art Garfunkel Talks "The Singer"
Mon, 10 Sep 2012 09:13:41
Art Garfunkel Photos
Art Garfunkel Videos
"Let's talk about how interesting life is," smiles Art Garfunkel. "It's a work-in-progress. We don't know what's going to come next. God keeps us safe by good fortune. It bubbles along".
For Garfunkel, life has arrived at The Singer —a 34-song career pastiche he personally curated. This is the best way for listeners to meet him as it spans everything from 1964's Wednesday Morning, 3 AM through 2007's Some Enchanted Evening. In addition, two newly cut tracks "Lena" and "Long Way Home" will also satiate any longtime fan's appetite for more. This is a flawless collection covering the work of one of the most important voices of all time.
In this exclusive interview with ARTISTdirect.com editor in chief Rick Florino, Art Garfunkel talks The Singer and so much more.
The Singer seems like it's perfect for both the uninitiated and long-time fans.
Yet, there are things that could've made it that had been rejected. There are always songs that don't make it. This is very personal. This is what I think of my own singing and when I really hit it on mic. These are those nights where the musicians really hit the groove great. I was there, and I made them so I think I'm the best to judge what makes up the best Art Garfunkel retrospective. Here's where the singing is at its best.
What was the curation process?
First comes the obvious. You can't leave out "All I Know", "I Only Have Eyes For You", "Heart In New York", and great Simon & Garfunkel favorites, but you do lean on the Simon & Garfunkel stuff where I was prominent. There's "Scarborough Fair". I put in "My Little Town" because I need up-tempos. Paul Simon always said he wrote that song with me in mind. I go with the ones I personally know have really great quality singing. The accent is always on the quality of the singer as if, God forbid, the listener will put on headphones, crank up the volume to number eight, get deep into what's going on, and then they will hear artistry [Laughs]. This is my hope. You'll see "99 Miles From L.A." It's really cool. I selected what I know to be my strongest stuff. "The Promise" comes from my lefty album. I know I hit it that week I was recording. I know my records intimately so I'm aware of when I went to town on a song. When the sax comes in at the end of "When a Man Loves a Woman", you realize this song has a really dark lyric. When a man loves a woman, she can bring him such misery. That's a theme worth singing as a singer. You love those kinds of purple lyrics. This is me saying, "Trust me. These are the strong ones". There are 93 nouns in "Waters of March". It has fabulous perspective. I'm talking as an editor.
What's the thread between these songs?
I sequenced it with real feel. This word "feel" is everything. I just finished Malcolm Gladwell's Blink. It essentially says that before we start consciously thinking, we have instant gut reactions that come from the unconscious. They fly through us like the wind. We don't notice it, but they inform us tremendously. I know my music so well that I can put down my roster of favorites without knowing the order. Then, I start saying, "Well, when this song finishes, what wants to begin next? What would be seamless?" You don't want to necessarily stay in the same key. You don't want to drop to a slightly lower key unless you really want a sag to happen. You're conscious of these things. If you've done two songs in a row that are folk-y and medium-paced, then you want a hot tune or you want to be upfront and more present. It's all feel. You pull this data in the wonderful computer of the mind that knows how to feel what comes. I'm pretending I'm a listener, and I'm trying to serve up what feels great next.
Was it important for you to capture a wide emotional spectrum?
What we love about Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is variety. When Billy Shears was finished on the first tune and Ringo came in "With a Little Help from My Friends". You also heard a deeper echo sound. Production-wise, there was a different feeling to that second song. By the time "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" came, not unlike "Bridge Over Troubled Water", you had a variety of sounds going on. This variety makes the listener move to the next place. It goes from a light Brazilian feeling to a straight-out ballad to something that's more rock. Those changes of feel from tune to tune and the variety it creates gives a nice "wholeness" I was looking for. If you stick with my album and play it in continuity, it adds up to a certain something. By the end, you should feel, "This singer can sing".
Even though the recordings are from different eras, they fit well together.
I carry the same talent. I'm a tenor who does what I do. I guess I have a similar commitment when I'm on mic. I'm always looking to diction well and carry heart and soul in the lyrics. I'm the same guy through the decades.
What's the story behind "Lena"?
Billy Mann put me together with Maia Sharp and Buddy Mondlock and created a trio back in the early aughts. We made an album called Everything Waits to Be Noticed. I became a songwriter for the first time by writing with them, and I fell in love with Maia musically. She's a great jazz rock chick. She writes fantastically. She produces. She plays all of these instruments including mean sax! She's a phenomenon. I called her a year ago, and we talked about working together. When I was planning on doing this album, we had a delay. I decided to use the delay to enrich the project with two new things. I want to show I'm singing just fine in the present tense. I went to Maia and said, "You know how I've always loved your demo 'Long Way Home'? Let's cut it". A month-and-a-half ago, we did. Her father Randy wrote "Lena". She showed me the song. I loved it, and we gave it a try. It's history. "Long Way Home" is subtle. There's a great rock groove in there. If you strip away the vocal and showcase the track, it swings.
The songs resonate on an emotional level.
Well, you can't go to a lyric that doesn't connect with your heart and mind. As soon as I say that, I think, "Well what about the great rock 'n' roll lines that are really dumb you love, Arthur?" [Laughs] You love to they sing them when they work. You don't need to have an intelligent lyric. I love "Sugar, Sugar" from The Archies because the track is so good. I'm a thinking man so I go to these tunes that have a third-dimension to them. "When a Man Loves a Woman", "The Sound of Silence", "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright"…that's a wink from Simon to Garfunkel, "So long Artie. We'll be splitting up next year. You may not know it yet". That's what "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" is. I recorded "Skywriter" in the late '80s. It's Jimmy Webb's song written to me about me. It's my biography. He knows me well. We're old friends. The line goes, "I'm tired of chasing vapor trail ghosts in the sky". I'm tired of floating around being a "Skywriter". He puts me up there because he knows I've had personal tragedy, and I was being a loner in the '80s. He writes that about me. This is our one chance to be on earth, in my opinion. Maybe we'll have another, but while I'm here I'm going to say "It". I'm going say the biggest, deepest, and most authentic things you feel. That's what these lyrics are.
What are your favorite lyrics on this collection?
Good question…I love that question. "Skywriter" jumps out. I love "The Promise". "Barbara Allen" speaks of two lovers who both die for want of connection who have very different styles. He's a red rose; she's a thorny bush. They're both living things in love. They meet after they die, entwined over the graveyard wall. It's fantastic stuff. I wrote "Perfect Moment". It's the third song. I like that a lot. The question is too good for me to rush. In "Kathy's Song", Paul Simon writes a magnificent sentiment. What a killer writer. I love "Waters of March". There's a great lyric. I duet with Kenny Rankin on "I Wonder Why", and that's another great lyric.
The Singer functions as a journey. In your opinion, does it tell your story?
It takes you on a journey if you stick with it. Do you think people listen? I feel like an artist in a parched desert if you want to know the truth. Will people listen to this and get to know what you're just hinting at? It does add up to something if you stay with it. If you drop in for pieces because of the techno age we live in, I don't know if I have much of a chance to reach the reality you're getting at.
People uncover their own reality—whether it's one track or the album as a whole experience. That's the most important thing. If they don't take the whole journey, but they take a piece and apply it to their own lives, that can mean just as much.
Fair enough. The transitions from tune to tune have a really nice ride. I accept what you're saying.

Baroness Eliza Manningham-Buller said following the 7/7 suicide bombings and the failed attacks a fortnight later, she suspected terrorists could try to bomb the capital on a regular basis.
She said investigators did not immediately know the attack on the capital's public transport system - which killed 52 people - was carried out by suicide bombers.
Lady Manningham-Buller, director general of Britain's domestic intelligence agency between 2002 and 2007, was speaking ahead of the publication of MI5's first official history today.
In a BBC interview she said: "My recollection of 7/7 was a feeling of 'It's happened', what we half expected would, what we had prepared for, what we had trained for, so it was a bad day for everybody.
"But the service started immediately doing all the things that it knew it had to do.
"In the early days we did not know it was a suicide bombing until the forensics began to come through. So at the beginning we were trying to support the police in possibly finding the team who had done it, who for all we knew, at that stage were still alive and capable of mounting another attack."
She recalled the failed attacks on July 21: "For me it was worse, although nobody died, although it was an unsuccessful attack, I had that feeling that if this is going to happen every fortnight how are we going to cope with this?
"How are the police going to cope? It was the apprehension that this might be a continuing problem."
Lady Manningham-Buller also defended MI5's interrogation of suspects, saying its agents operated to the "highest ethical standards".
She wanted to speak out on the subject of torture but could not at the moment while cases involving the alleged mistreatment of British terror suspects were before the courts.

1. Re: tape drive share between ndmphost and admin server usnig osb.rdoogan-Oracle Mar 17, 2012 3:38 PM (in response to User369092)Yes this is available by design. You just configure the NAS with the mediaserver role and add a 2nd attach point to the device. You can then create schedules that restrict to those attach points. This allows you to share all drives between all media servers.
For the robot I would let the admin server do that, just have the tape devices mapped to both. The robotic control is a pretty lightweight task.

FRANKFORT - Health advocates are preparing another push for a statewide smoking ban in some public places, and the campaign is drawing bipartisan support from some Kentucky lawmakers.
Republican Sen. Julie Denton of Louisville and Democratic Rep. Susan Westrom of Lexington said Wednesday they will file statewide smoke-free legislation.
They said everyone has the right to breathe smoke-free air at work and in public.
There's a patchwork of local smoking bans in Kentucky.
Gov. Steve Beshear has endorsed the statewide approach. He said in his State of the Commonwealth speech Tuesday night that lawmakers need to "fill in the map" and protect everyone in Kentucky.
Tobacco production has dropped in Kentucky during the past decade, but the state remains the nation's leading producer of burley tobacco, an ingredient in many cigarettes.

Clues to Gaddafi's death concealed from public view
By Rania El Gamal
MISRATA, Libya (Reuters) - Libyan forces guarding Muammar Gaddafi's body in a cold storage room on Saturday let in members of the public to view the deposed leader for a second day, but the wounds that may hold the clue to how he died were covered up.
Gaddafi's body lay on a mattress on the floor of the cold room, as it did on Friday when hundreds of members of the public filed in to see for themselves that the man who ruled Libya for 42 years was really dead.
But unlike the previous day, Gaddafi's body was covered by a blanket that left only his head exposed, hiding the bruises on his torso and scratch marks on his chest that had earlier been visible.
And, crucially, a Reuters reporter who viewed the body said, Gaddafi's head had been turned to the left. That meant a bullet hole that earlier could be seen on the left side of his face, just in front of his ear, could no longer be seen.
Guards overseeing Gaddafi's body handed out green surgical masks to dozens of people filing in to take a look because of the stench of rotting flesh filling the room.
The bullet hole in Gaddafi's head, and the other wounds, could help solve the riddle of whether, as Libya's new rulers said, he was shot in crossfire in a battle or, as some accounts suggest, he was killed by the fighters who caught him.
A local military commander in the city of Misrata, where the force which captured him took his body, said "over-enthusiastic" fighters took matters into their own hands when they came face to face with the man they despise.
"We wanted to keep him alive but the young guys, things went out of control," he said speaking on condition of anonymity. Continued...

The worst season of Todd Helton's career is over.
The Rockies said their 1st baseman and clubhouse leader will go through arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right hip.
"I assume the world of this man," Chief Jim Tracy claimed before the start of a 3-game series in L.A. "I've been privileged over the course of 11 years to have managed some very special people. This man is potentially as good a competitor as I have ever been around."
The Colorado Rockies placed Helton on the 15-day DL and reinstated infielder Chris Nelson from the 15-day disabled list. Nelson, who missed 17 games because of an unsteady heartbeat, was in the starting line at 2nd base and batting 7th.
"It's sad, man," Nelson said. "The guy brings a large amount of experience, with the batting titles and the Gold Gloves. If you have any kind of questions, you just stop over at his locker and ask him, and he'll give you his truthful viewpoint. That's one of the nice things about him. NFL odds
A career .320 hitter, Helton batted just .238 this season, by a long way the lowest average of his 15-year career in the majors. He had seven homers and 37 RBIs.
Helton has been bothered by a sore hip since early June, which has influenced his mechanics. He struggled moving to his right on ground balls and lifting his right leg at the plate, messing up his timing. But his colleagues have seen firsthand how much he would like to be in the lineup, and those abilities in leadership only echo what Tracy has been saying about him during the 4 seasons they've been together.
"I'll take it a step further," Tracy said. "How about the impact he has had on the game? Todd's leadership comes in a little bit different vein. It comes by example. Todd's leadership is a bunch of young players taking a look at him during 15 years and saying: "There he is again. He's out there today, and he's a little bit sore. But he would like in there.' That's who he is. That's why you gain the respect for a player like this."
Helton, who turns 39 years old on August 20, missed 12 games in July because of his hurt hip. He informed he plans on playing next season, the last year of his agreement. And his manager isn't betting against it.
"I think Todd has every intentions of playing next year," Tracy declared. "He had a bad year in 2010 when he was dealing with a back issue, and there were a large amount of questions on how much gas Todd Helton had left in his tank. And I can tell you, it wasn't greatly appreciated. So Todd showed up on a mission in 2011 and hit over .300.
"So questioning Todd Helton's bounce-back capability is not something that I spend a ton of time doing, because the preparation and commitment to do so will be there. I have seen it with my own eyes. And if that is his intention, I guarantee you he'll follow through with it."

OK Guys, I'll comment on all your comments...
Discs are at all four corners
Prop valve is open all the way to prevent any restrictions. I read that post too...
All bleeder valves are at the top of all calipers.
I'm pretty sure the rear circuit is air free. Good flow out of both sides.
I think the air bubble is in the front circuit since I had to replace a line and got lots of air from the passenger side caliper before fluid. Did the driver side and got some air before fluid. Can't be 100% sure but I'll do all corners until I stop the pedal from hitting the floor.
I love trial and error and error and error. Oh well I don't have anything better to do tomorrow.
Gravity bleed: unmounting the calipers or using the jack are options to consider but alot of work. I'll keep those as a last resort. The car is up on a drive on lift.
I like the vacuum bleed suggestion. Found one at Harbor Freight for $23. I don't have a hudson sprayer but thanx for that suggestion.
Will keep you advised.

Leading lines
Related to the concept of foreground, mid-ground and background is the idea of leading lines. The landscape is full of lines, such as roads, rivers, hedgerows, shorelines and even animal tracks, and we can use these in our landscape compositions. The viewer's eye will naturally tend to follow such lines so they serve to lead the eye into and through the image in a very natural way.
While straight lines work well for this, for some reason I don't understand the human visual cortex appears to find broad S-shapes very appealing. It's probably got something to do with the appearance of certain parts of a naked human body, but I'm sure I wouldn't know about such things.
Leading lines can be obvious or subtle. Anything that allows the eye to follow a path into the scene will work, so be on the lookout for paths, streams and walls that will serve in this capacity. Use the lines to emphasise the main theme of the picture by making it part of the visual path.

The Daily Show: Stickin' It to CNBC
If you missed last night's Daily Show, you owe it to yourself to check out this instant classic online. Rick Santelli, a CNBC analyst who'd gone off on a rant against homeowners, was supposed to be the guest. Then he backed out. So instead Jon Stewart devoted the whole show to a take-down of CNBC. It's brutal, vicious, deserved, and an example of the only TV-based investigative journalism worth watching besides Frontline. I'm sure Santelli wishes he'd gone on the show instead. (Starts after 30 seconds of commercials and one minute of schtick.)
Stewart: "Hmmm. If only I'd listened to CNBC, I would have a million dollars now…if I'd started out with a hundred million dollars."

John Adams Miniseries
This holiday season, Ann and I watched the John Adams miniseries on DVD. Coming on the heels of having read Paine's Common Sense and some discussion about humanizing historical characters, it was a bit of a revelation. Following Adams and his wife through more than fifty years of the early history of the United States, and including a fascinating look at, among others, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, this is as moving and sweeping a historical drama as I have yet seen.
At the core of the movie is the relationship between Adams and his wife Abigail. Watching not just the trials and triumphs of a country but a marriage over such a span was an emotional experience. The movie is not just about the formation of a country but the nature of mortality.
Paul Giamatti as Adams makes the man come alive in all of his infuriating complexity. Here was a man as successful as anyone, and yet in many ways an under-achiever because of his temper and his bluntness. Laura Linney as his wife Abigail is an absolute revelation–a performance as brilliant and multi-faceted as Giamatti's. Stephen Dillane plays a cool, reserved, almost reptilian Jefferson with similar, if understated, verve. Other actors are also excellent, from David Morse (Washington) to Tom Wilkinson (Benjamin Franklin).
The sweep of historical events is masterfully conveyed in this miniseries, but don't expect to get an intimate view of things like Revolutionary War battles or the War of 1812. Adams was largely on the sidelines during these events–either serving as an ambassador overseas or not in office. This adds a wonderful perspective, though, on the period, as we get scenes not in the history books.
I cannot recommend John Adams highly enough. I didn't expect to cry, and I didn't expect to feel so utterly invested in the lives of Adams and his wife. Stunning stuff. Between the Paine and this miniseries, I've finally rediscovered a kind of patriotism and pride in my country, even as I still shudder at the way in which we've squandered much of the potential we started with in this country.

There's Only Fun Left to Be Had
When I was a kid, my parents had a few couples of friends with whom they used to play cards on Saturday evenings. Whether it was bridge night or canasta night, we almost always had someone over for dinner on Saturday. This led me to believe that having guests was somewhat a fatality for my poor parents. At about the age my daughter Stefana has now, one of these visiting couples made the mistake to ask me what I wanted to become when I'll grow up. I answered without hesitation: "I wanna be a guest!". They laughed politely and my mom, knowing me, tried to move on with the conversation, but the lady who had asked me in the first place wanted to know more: "Why a guest?" And the answer silenced her (and sent my dad to the bathroom, where from we almost instantly heard him laughing histerically): "Yes, a guest, because guests always come when the house is cleaned, the food is ready and there's only fun left to be had".
I remembered this anecdote (one that my dad used to bring up whenever there were not so welcomed guests around) today, thinking that I have finally achieved my childhood dream. I am a guest, and a guest-blogger at that: the blog is here, the audience ready-built and eager for my words. In consequence, it's time to have fun!
No, no more letters from my lawyer this time. Fun has become a peculiar notion for me, the almost forty-year-old publisher and reviewer (I do the occasional book reviews on my blog or for Nautilus, a webzine hosted by my fiercest rival in Romanian publishing but edited by my friend, writer Michael Haulică) who spends most of his time reading and writing about books. Fun is NOT reading books for review or publishing consideration purposes. Fun is spending time with my girls and doing carpentry work at the country house I bought this spring. And fun is also reading books for my own pleasure. I might end up reviewing them or even publishing them, but the initial impulse is, ALWAYS, aimed at having fun. I buy them from Amazon.com or B&N (they finally lifted the ban from Romanian ordering) or in the local bookstores or at bookfairs. Sometimes friends send them, sometimes I find them (on this blog, sometimes). I read them in days or merely hours. And these are the books I always end up recommending to others, even if I'm not their publisher, even if my best interest would be to push my own books. These are the ones that get pictured in my now regular bookporn blog posts, with their covers displayed to be seen by all, with sometimes even their first page being offered, scribbled with an autograph, to the salacious eyes of voyeur readers.
And, since being a guest is about having fun, I thought I'd show you some of the books I've had fun with this year, so far. [Read more…]
Amazon Pop Culture Report #4: Greg Broadmore, Lovecraft, Moomin, and More
I've just posted my latest Pop Culture Report both here and on Amazon's book blog, Omnivoracious. For those who haven't seen the others, it's a DIY come-into-my-house-and-look-at-some-recent-cool books kinda thing. Check out the version on Amazon, where I've posted links to all of the books mentioned in the report.
Feel free to embed the video on your own blog or site with your own comments about the books I've reviewed. And let me know here what you think, too. The more attention these video features get, the more able I am to continue doing them. (Small apology this time around: a lightning strike or two during the filming caused a couple of hiccups.)
Here's the direct link to it on YouTube.

Please let us know how the Droid works out on the road.
On the Trans America when we didn't have a Verizon signal we generally didn't have a signal at all. The one exception I noticed was the Riggins Idaho area and the carrier there was another one of "the national mega-telecom companies" (AT&T).

I spent $1700 on lines and folds around mouth, looked good at first, then started to dissapate, within 3 mo's there wasn't alot left over, had hard bumps appear at corner of mouth that still hasn't went away. I had 3 syringe's at two diffenent times 4 months apart, and now 3 months later, again I am complaining to the Dr. who refuses to do anything about it. He said sometimes doesn't work on people, and I wish he would have told me this before I spent the money!! And the discomfort.

Items in Cart:
Vintage East African Masai Hunting Spear.
*PLEASE NOTE - this item must be collected from our gallery only. Thank you.
Height: 1455mm
Width of spear head: 40mm
Length of spear head: 215mm
An impressive piece of tribal African weaponry indeed.
This spear is East African in origin. It has been authenticated as being from the Masai tribe from Kenya.
It is an older piece, as one can see from the sinew bound haft and the metal of the iron spear head which is rusted and shows signs of wear.
The sinew binding itself is in good condition, with only very slight fraying.
It is possibly 19th Century.
This tall spear would have been used as a throwing spear for hunting Lion or Buffalo and for protection of the herd and not as a stabbing spear during combat.
A wonderful opportunity for the collector. Not to be missed.

The US shale gas boom and the resulting low prices of natural gas are spurring a wave of new crackers and expansions in the country. Ultimately, the US ethylene market could see a 29% increase in capacity by 2017 (see our full analysis in the February 13 issue of ICIS Chemical Business.
Three local producers – Dow Chemical, Shell and Chevron Phillips – are proceeding, each with world-scale crackers set to start up in 2016-2017. South Africa-based Sasol, which already has a mid-size cracker in Lake Charles, Louisiana, is considering the construction of a 1.0-1.5m tonne/year cracker at the same site, aiming to complete the study by the second half of 2013.
Plus, many others are expanding or considering new world-scale crackers. Yet more are also moving to convert their plants to crack lighter feeds.
Ultimately, a 29% boost in US ethylene capacity by 2017 will cause a profound disruption in the market. Many things have to go right for this capacity to be absorbed into the local and global market.
Many are counting on naphtha-based crackers in Europe and Asia shutting down. Yet for Europe, integrated polyethylene (PE) margins have equaled or exceeded those of US ethane-based producers in every year from 2008-2011. So far in 2012, US producers have taken the lead as ethane prices have plunged.
While some select crackers may shut down, don't count on a wave of Europe cracker closures. Their integrated PE margins taking into account co-products propylene and butadiene from naphtha cracking have been solid.

I received Botox today for the first time to treat Blepharospasms, and I am wondering if I can expect any changes to my appearance. The Dr. only injected 18 units.
He injected: *Both sides of my upper eyelids *right above the inner point of each eyebrow * the center of where my eyebrows would meet if they grew together.
What should I expect over the next few days? High arches? Droopy lids? Nothing? Thanks!!

A tour of the USA doesn't start 'til half way through the year and entails forty-six shows over a three month period. It is the biggest tour Queen will ever undertake, and promotes the new album 'The Game'. Due to the success of the album, especially in America, every one of the forty-six shows will be performed before a capacity audience. The itinerary includes four consecutive nights at the L.A. Forum and three at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Freddie's image makes a drastic change for this tour, as well as wearing a costume in leather, he is now sporting a moustache and even shorter hair!After months of planning with the lighting company to design something different for this tour a state of the art 'interactive' rig is unveiled. The new lighting rig is called 'Fly Swatters' and is made up of seven moving arms covered in multi coloured banks of lights, and each driven by a guy in a seat. At most of the shows the support band are The Blasters.At the end of the year another tour of Europe is planned for November and December, with fellow brits Straight Eight as the support band. On the second night at Wembley, Queen play 'Imagine' as a tribute to John Lennon, who has been shot dead in New York the previous day. Like everyone touched by Lennon's spirit, the band are devastated at the news and want to pay tribute to one of their greatest heroes in their show.

Buford Middle School has received a $750 grant from the ExxonMobile Educational Alliance program to support the school's mathematics program. Hal Crenshaw with Crenco Stores worked with school officials to secure the grant, which is one of 2,400 made available to schools across the country served by Exxon or Mobile stations. The grants were made possible by funding from the ExxonMobile Alliance.
I had the great privilege to be among many S.C. Tea Party patriots on Nov. 17. Many towns in this great state were represented, including Bluffton, Anderson, Lancaster, Rock Hill, Clover, Sumter and Columbia. We all gathered at the statehouse to witness the speaker of the House vote.
Congratulations to Kenny Hood for successfully attaining a second term. Also, I would like to express the fact that the right to vote is a very powerful and valuable thing. Therefore, a big congratulations must be given to everyone who voted.
Even in ordinary times, it's important for those who have plenty to share with those who don't have the resources to meet their basic needs. Helping others is our highest calling in life.
However, these are not ordinary times. The nation is clawing its way back from the worst recession in a generation, unemployment remains sky high, and there are more people than usual struggling to make ends meet. Many people who never dreamed they would ever need to ask for help are now having to do just that.
Let me begin by expressing my enormous respect for volunteer fire departments and the people who man them.
Firefighting is, by its nature, a part-time occupation in that the amount of time spent actually fighting fires is far less than full time and there is a limit to how much time can be spent on equipment maintenance and training. The people who volunteer their time to serve as firefighters deserve our utmost respect and support.
Ah yes, Thanksgiving Day is here and for many of us it will be our annual rite of family, football and daylong feasting.
For many of us, celebrating Thanksgiving conjures up visions of pseudo-Pilgrims and early Indians dressed in period garb created from the best construction paper first- and second-graders could find.
Cutouts of turkeys, pumpkins and cornucopias hanging from classroom ceilings added to the festive spirit.
I would like to comment on what is to be the new Roy Hardin Park. The new one replaces the old park that was off Collins Road.
The new park opened last weekend. It was a big dissappointment. The walking trail is very short compared to the old one. When summer comes, the playground will be in complete sun.
From what I had read, the new park was to be an improvement over the former one. The former park had uneven trails and steep hills but it had a pond.
I was hoping to enjoy this park but can see that it will be useless because of the limited trail.

Amellia's Ward jets into quarter finals
-GABF Road to Mecca Inter-Club b/ball c/ships
Four more teams advanced to the quarterfinals of the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) Road to Mecca tournament, after second day action at the Cliff Anderson Sport last Sunday.
On the back of a brilliant performance by Shane Webster 24 points, 14 rebounds and three blocked shots, Amelia's Ward Jets (84) handed Black Sharks (32) the night's largest margin of defeat winning by 52 points.
The Jets, who ended the first quarter with an 18 points lead, took full advantage of the early break completing the first half with a 48-19 advantage against the Sharks. Emmanuel Archibald and Parish Cadogan scored 13 and 10 points respectively as their team recorded a comfortable win in their first game of the tournament. Jovrell Fraser scored more than half his team's total, scoring 17 points and pulling down six rebounds to go along with his three steals in the defeat.
Pepsi Sonics (95) crushed Canje Knights (46) by 49 points as the Berbice team failed to recover from a horrible first quarter. Captain of the Pepsi Sonics team Jason Squires had a triple double of 26 points, 12 rebounds and 13 steals. He also had seven assist for good measure.
Squires' team mates Kerwin Jackson, Collis Pluck and Junior Lovell scored 14, 12 and 11 points respectively to conclude a great team effort.
Kevon Emanuel's effort of 17 points, 20 rebounds and eight steals was not enough for the Knights who managed only 46 points.
