Alternative insulation
I came up with a idea to use fiber glass insulation mixed with spec mix and fire clay to make my insulating layer instead of vermiculite it seamed to work does anyone see me having any problems with this thanks Jason
Re: Alternative insulation
I would think Fiberglass mixed with clay would be fiber re-enforced clay. Fiberglass insolation works due to the air space it holds.
Re: Alternative insulation
There's no reason not to use vermiculite/perlite concrete if you have the room for it. It's cheap, universally available, and heat proof.
Mixing fiberglass with clay is a really bad idea, as Mark has pointed out.
Re: Alternative insulation
I would just buy the woven ceramic. I can buy it up here for less than $150 and it is enough for a 3" layer plus some for a 36" interior oven I built. The insulation is amazing. It makes a huge difference. Just google woven ceramic insulation in your area. Good luck.
Re: Alternative insulation
Some fiberglass insulation will not stand up to the 1000 + F that the oven will reach.

Miley Cyrus Returns To The Recording Studio
Miley Cyrus is back in the studio, as she confirmed by posting a pic of herself to her Twitter account. In the picture, she is seated at a computer with a mixing board in the background.
According to Perez Hilton, the new effort is going to be a departure from her polished pop sounds of yore:
"We've heard it's gonna be gritty, dirrrty-south hip-hop, but her new look and latest performances suggest a more punk-inspired feel . . ."
She is working with Pharrell Williams on the new album, which he says "will sound unlike anything she's done before" and that "it's nowhere near what it is that you think."
Last month, Cyrus released her first new music in some time, a cover of Dolly Parton's 1974 hit song "Jolene."

The use of HIV susceptibility testing (GPT) can help guide the selection of antiretroviral therapy for HIV-positive patients. Susceptibility testing looks for the presence of HIV mutations that are associated with how well the virus responds to various drugs. Researchers observed 2,699 HIV-positive patients eligible for susceptibility testing to evaluate the relationship between testing and survival. They found that patients who underwent suseceptibility testing were less likely to die than those who did not have testing. The study authors concluded that more research is needed to determine whether increased survival is due to better treatment selection or because patients who had susceptibility testing also had other types of care that improve survival.
Asthma is a chronic lung disease that causes episodes of difficult breathing for 22 million Americans. A very serious illness, asthma attacks cause 4,000 deaths a year. Attacks can be prevented if patients avoid triggers and take their medication as instructed by a physician. However, despite the availability of monitoring tools and effective drug therapies, many people do not have adequate asthma control. Researchers sought to determine if the Internet could help. They randomly assigned 200 adult asthma patients to either usual care by their doctor or an Internet-based asthma program in addition to usual care. The Internet-based self-management program included weekly asthma control monitoring and treatment advice, online group education, and remote Web communication. At 12 months, patients in the Internet group reported improvements in asthma control and lung function compared with patients in the usual care group. However, the improvements in quality of life were small and the number of asthma attacks did not improve. According to the study authors, the challenge is finding a way to incorporate Internet-based self-management into routine asthma care on a wider scale.
Physicians commonly perform surveillance colonoscopies on persons who have had a past colon adenoma (polyp). Practice guidelines have been established for clinicians to determine the appropriate interval for surveillance colonoscopies. High-risk patients should have a follow-up screening at three years, while low-risk patients can wait five to 10 years. However, the criteria for choosing between five- and 10-year follow-up is not clear. To help establish an appropriate screening interval, researchers studied 564 patients who had two surveillance colonoscopies after a baseline colonoscopy that showed adenoma. They used the results from the first and second colonoscopies to determine the probability of high-risk findings on a third colonoscopy. Researchers found that patients with advanced or multiple adenomas on both the first and second colonoscopy had a relatively high likelihood (18.2%) of high-risk findings at the third examination. Very few participants (0.5%) that had low-risk findings on their first two examinations had high-risk results on their third colonoscopy. This result suggests that a longer follow-up interval may be appropriate for lower risk patients, as determined by their adenoma history.
Although blood cholesterol levels in the United States have decreased slightly since the 1980s, people continue to consume too much artificial trans fat – a recognized contributor to coronary heart disease. While health care providers often focus on educating their patients about the relationship between cholesterol and dietary habits, only about a quarter of those with high cholesterol levels are able to gain adequate control. Because trans fat is widespread in our food supply, it is virtually impossible for consumers to avoid. New York City's Health Department sought to help consumers make better food choices when it restricted artificial trans fat in restaurants. Preliminary analyses from that restriction suggest that replacement of artificial trans fat has resulted in restaurant food with healthier fatty acid profiles. This paper describes implementation of the New York City Health Department program.

Speaker Describes Holocaust Experience
Posted: November 3, 2012 at 5 a.m.
Max Herzel, an Orthodox Jew from Belgium, spent part of his teenage years masquerading as a Catholic shepherd in the French Alps.
At A Glance
The Holocaust
Since 1945, the word Holocaust has taken on a new and horrible meaning: The mass murder of some 6 million European Jews (as well as members of some other persecuted groups, such as Gypsies and homosexuals) by the German Nazi regime during the Second World War. To the anti-Semitic Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, Jews were an inferior race, an alien threat to German racial purity and community. After years of Nazi rule in Germany, during which Jews were consistently persecuted, Hitler's "final solution" came to fruition under the cover of world war, with mass killing centers constructed in the concentration camps mainly in occupied Poland.

United States flag raised on Texas island
On this day in 1845, the United States flag is said to have been raised on St. Joseph Island by United States troops. This was the first time the U.S. flag was flown in Texas. St. Joseph Island is a sand barrier island in Aransas County. The troops were part of a force under Gen. Zachary Taylor sent to protect Texas from Mexican interference after annexation. After the detachment landed on the island, the main force landed on August 1 and camped by a massive live oak tree at the site of present-day Rockport. The tree is now known as the Zachary Taylor Oak.

Adenomatous polyps are a type of abnormal growth in the colon.
While most colon polyps do not cause any problems, adenomatous polyps are
thought to be the source of most colorectal cancer.
Adenomatous polyps usually grow very slowly. It may be years
before they turn into cancer, if they ever do. They usually are discovered
during a routine sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy and are removed. Having adenomatous polyps in the colon means that you will need to be screened for
colorectal cancer more often than a person who has no polyps.

Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads: New Techniques, Extraordinary Flavor
by Peter Reinhart (Author) & Ron Manville (Photographer)
Average Reader's Score:
Bread is back, Reinhart (The Bread Baker's Apprentice) asserts, and it's better than ever after being villainized during the anticarbohydrate diet fads; his manifesto of renewal, this enthusiastic tome featuring the kinds of whole grain breads he sees as the way forward, will be eagerly received by serious bakers. In three useful preliminary chapters, Reinhart describes how he developed the delayed fermentation process that makes these breads delicious as well as wholesome, dissects wheat's route from stalk to loaf and patiently walks through the new technique's theory and process, in order to arm bakers with every bit of information before they start kneading. The level of technical detail and demand for scientific precision may overwhelm amateurs, but anyone with some experience working with bread dough and starters, as well as a desire to get to the next level, will be gratified by Reinhart's intense but friendly approach. In the more than 50 recipes, from a variety of breads including multigrain loaves, whole wheat cinnamon buns, brioche and crispy lavash, Reinhart builds on the first chapters with detailed commentary on ingredients and preparation, encouraging bakers to own the process but never leaving them in the lurch. Whether or not a home baker is looking for healthier recipes, Reinhart's peerless way of writing about bread is sure to inspire a new respect for whole grains. Color photos not seen by PW. – (Oct.)

Local Breads: Sourdough and Whole-Grain Recipes from Europe's Best Artisan Bakers
by Daniel Leader & Lauren Chattman (Contributor)
Average Reader's Score:
Recipes from the back rooms and basement bakeries that produce Europe's best breads. When Daniel Leader opened his Catskills bakery, Bread Alone, twenty years ago, he was determined to duplicate the whole-grain and sourdough breads he had learned to make in the bakeries of Paris. The bakery was an instant success, and his first book, Bread Alone, brought Leader's breads to home kitchens. In this, his second book, Leader shares his experiences traveling throughout Europe in search of the best artisan breads. He learned how to make new-wave sourdough baguettes with spelt, flaxseed, and soy at an organic bakery in Alsace; and in Genzano, outside of Rome, he worked with the bakers who make the enormous country loaves so unique that they have earned the Indicazione Geografica Protetta (IGP), a government mark reserved for the most prized foods and wines. Leader's detailed recipes describe every step that it takes to reproduce these rare loaves, which until now were available strictly locally. 32 pages of color illustrations. – Amazon

Whether or not the U.S. should attack Syria is now going before Congress. A common statement during the last several days is Iraq looms heavy in the minds of people.
I was against the U.S. invading Iraq for two reasons. First, there was no evidence that Iraq was involved in 9/11. Second, the Bush Administration presented no evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The current issue of Syria is a totally different situation than Iraq.
The reason for military intervention is based on the substantiated fact that Syria has broken international law by using chemical weapons. As a world leader, the U.S. has a responsibility to respond to this violation in order to keep it from happening again. The U.S. is already being supported by the President of France and other Arab nations, with Saudi Arabia being the most notable supporter of U.S. intervention.
I believe we also have a moral obligation to act. I have been in support of U.S. intervention for more than a year. I am in support of intervention beyond the presently stated goal of sending a message that chemical weapons should not be used by the use of surgical strikes without committing ground troops. At least, we can stop the use of chemical weapons that result in horrible deaths, that are much worse than being killed by bullets or bombs.
I have wondered if much of the resistance to U.S. involvement is because of Islamaphobia. Then a week or so ago I heard Senator Rand Paul frame the issue in Syria as Muslims against Christians, which showed me that my question has validity. Framing this issue as being sectarian ignores the teaching of Christianity, which tells Christians that all people are our neighbors. Therefore, it is unchristian to frame this issue as us versus them. As a world leader, we have a moral obligation to respond to Syria's use of chemical weapons.

Meat Your Goals: Lean Meat RecipeJanuary 1, 2014
It's time. Time to throw away stale holiday cookies, left over champagne bottles and get ready for the New Year. Whether your resolution is to get fit, eat better, travel more or simply to make 2014 a great year, New Years is all about being positive and setting goals. This year we at The Meat House wanted to set a few resolutions of our own, including resolving to help you Meat Your Goals.
While we can't help with everything on your list, we can assist by providing healthy fresh food. Everyday throughout the month of January we'll post recipes on Facebook using lean meats to help you with a healthy diet. When in our stores,* keep an eye out for these case tags, which will highlight that days lean meat protein.
From steak to fish, eating healthy doesn't have to be plain or boring. In fact, we've put together recipes to please even the pickiest palates. From a lean version of stuffing topped chicken, to flavorful shrimp skewers, we've got 31 unique recipes for you to try. All of the recipe cards that we post on Facebook can also be downloaded and printed directly from our website here.
To kick off our 31 Days of Lean Meats resolution, we wanted to highlight one of our favorite proteins – beef. Known for its rich flavor and high protein, beef can be a part of a healthy, well rounded diet. Packed with tons of flavor, our Balsamic Flank Steak is the perfect way to start eating healthier in 2014.
Balsamic Flank Steak
- 1-3 lbs flank steak
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 cup Aritson balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling
- 2 Tbsp whole-grain mustard
- 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 Tbsp dried oregano
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- In a blender, combine the garlic, rosemary, oregano, mustard and vinegar and purée until the garlic is minced. With the machine on, gradually add the oil and blend until creamy. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Add the meat to a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour all but 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette on top; turn the meat to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Remove meat and let stand for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Light a grill and oil the grates. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the steak over moderate heat, until lightly charred and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 125°, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Transfer the steak to a carving board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the meat against the grain and serve, passing the remaining vinaigrette at the table.
For some extra veggies, top the steak on a bed of arugula. The vinaigrette is all you need for dressing and will help you to meet your daily vegetable goals. Remember, eating healthy doesn't need to be complicated. We've selected recipes that are both approachable and delicious. If you're short on time, try one of our naturally lean items like cilantro lime turkey tips or meat and veggie kabobs. We look forward to what 2014 brings and meating our goals together.

BEIRUT: Two men were arrested in the Koura town of Kousba in north Lebanon Tuesday after they robbed a gas station, the state-run National News Agency said. According to the agency, the two men broke into the store early Tuesday morning and stole items, including cell phone recharge cards. The NNA said that the gas station's employees came under fire by the thieves after they attempted to stop the two men from fleeing the scene. One of the Egyptian employees of the gas station was wounded in his leg when the thieves shot in their direction, the NNA said. But both men were arrested by a patrol of the Internal Security Forces' Information Branch that in turn handed them to the Lebanese Army's Intelligence Unit.

Döhler Sensory & Consumer Science: Competent services for successful products
Facing the challenge of increasing market diversity and growing consumer demands concerning product quality it is most essential to evaluate in detail the factors influencing first and repeat purchase of food and beverage products.
While first purchase is mostly influenced by extrinsic conceptual elements, repeat purchase is based on the intrinsic product features, of which taste is doubtless the most important one. Following the main principle "The fish must like the bait, not the angler" it is essential to consider the consumers' view of concepts and products instead of following decisions based on biased internal tastings.
Sensory Science: Objective profiling of products
Descriptive sensory analyses take place in special booths for tasting, in which the necessary unitary conditions regarding light, temperature and humidity can be created. All of the booths are equipped with networked PCs that enable a direct data input for the test persons and permit the project managers a prompt evaluation of data. Also special sensory software is put to use, which enables an extensive and meaningful analysis of the data by state of the art statistical methods. Project specific testing panels are assembled by 8 to 10 persons, which are part of more than 80 skilled and trained in-house staff members from a wide variety of departments. These panels work on global sensory mappings of special categories (for example orange juice) as well as on shelf life studies or on the optimization of sweetening systems (including the innovative Döhler MultiSweet® Stevia system).
Consumer Science: Measuring product acceptance
The goal of consumer research is to gather and evaluate the behaviour of the consumer as a reaction to the sensory perception, which basically means to measure the acceptance of the products.
For the area of consumer research a database of 2,500 persons can be accessed for the German market. A network by external market research companies is available for international studies to assist in cross regional field-work, which means selection and questioning of test persons in the particular market. Independently, in a range of important foreign Doehler locations (especially Brazil, Russia, India and China) adequate departments in the area of sensory & consumer science are already at work or in the planning in order to offer this field of service on location to our international customers.
Sensory Seminars: building up skills for internal sensory work
Besides these testing services Döhler SCS also offers seminars and workshops in the field of Sensory & Consumer Science. Two sensory seminars (German) are already scheduled for 2011 (May and November), additional events in English are in preparation.

1980 gs850g ?
I've found what looks like a clean project, what concerns me most is the owner says it uses a little oil, not sure on what his definition of a "a little" might be.
It also needs a cam chain tensioner(owner says chain needs tightened up). I'm assuming it needs a tensioner, and possibly a new chain, how are is that on these bikes?
Bike has 40k miles on it and looks clean and stock, does have a burned out baffle as well, "good" front and rear tires for the asking price of $900.
I've been considering something more like an ST1100 but I've developed some more wants and know I won't really use the bike a ton as I don't have time for alot of trips(if any). I'd like something good for 2up afternoon rides, commuting and just farting around. Maybe once or twice a year go on a ride with my father in law on his 81ish goldwing.
This is the bike in question, I apologize if I'm not supposed to link to CL....
http://desmoines.craigslist.org/mcy/3315306433.html (I'm not selling this or advertising intentionally, only considering buying it myself)
The definitive resource site is http://www.thegsresources.com/
I believe the frames from both the 850G and 1000G are the same (the cruiserish L or chain-drive1000E models IDK); I prefer the G model (shaft drive) in this weight category; looks like exhausts from the earlier GS750s fit the 850
Heavy, stable bike; looked at one this past Spring but decided it needed more work than the purchase price warranted. For $900 I would want a lot more road-worthyness.
I don't know. That looks like a pretty good project to me. It runs well enough for the owner to be willing to let prospects ride it. That's gotta be a good sign. A runner for under a grand! The bike looks clean and well cared for.
I've never owned a Suzuki, but I've heard that Suzuki has a record of not providing much support for its older bikes. Do check out the availability of parts before you jump into this. That could be the deal breaker for me.
I just looked at this 79 GS850G this afternoon. It's not near as clean as the 80 model you're looking at.
Guy wants $350.00 for it. Fairly new looking Dunlop tires and a newer battery. Appears to be pretty much unmolested. Electric starter doesn't work. Not even a peep out of it. Maybe a relay? Over all it doesn't look too bad for $350.00. Needs a good clean up and has 17k miles.
Carbs need attention. Float(s?) sticking and it dumped some gas out when I turned the fuel on.
I'm gonna sleep on it but think I'll probably take it. Since I can't hear it run I think I'll check the compression prior to any $$$$ changing hands.
They're bulletproof and run forever but will use a little oil. Cam chain tensioners were automatic but some misinformed mechanics were known to lock them in one position with the scew and locknut used for assembly purposes. One problem I had with the 650's and 850 shaftys was they were geared to short and were really humming at highway speeds.
The cam chaim was making a lot of noise so I replaced it, still made a lot of noise...
These heavy bikes are sensitive about tires, lots of weight and not a lot of rubber. Make sure you don't go too cheap on those.
As with all 80's bikes, make sure the forks, shocks, head bearings, and swingarm bearings are in good shape. Makes a huge difference in handling.
Mine had a fork brace and steel brake lines, I highly recommend them. Also make sure to replace the brake pads with newer ones with a better compound, even if they still look OK.

Gravity wasn't all fiction: tiny pieces of high-speed orbiting debris endanger our satellites. Now Japan is set to launch an electromagnetic net to catch them
SOMEWHERE in Earth's orbit, a satellite explodes into a terrifying cloud of debris. Moments later, Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are left scrambling to dodge the deadly space junk. This problem isn't confined to the Oscar-nominated space thriller Gravity – scientists are struggling with it in real life. Now a rather unusual solution is being tested: a really big net.
Next month, the Japanese space agency, JAXA, will pilot its "electrodynamic tether" for the first time. It is one of many possible solutions that have been proposed to deal with space debris (see "Catch 'em, drag 'em, blast 'em").
Hundreds of thousands of pieces of spacecraft, satellites and other equipment from human spaceflight zip around our planet, some travelling faster than the speed of sound. According to a report released by the US Congressional Research Service this month, running into even a small piece of junk can be disastrous. An object 10 centimetres across could "catastrophically damage a typical satellite", it says. One just 1 centimetre across could disable a spacecraft. The worst-case scenario is the Kessler syndrome, proposed by astrophysicist Donald Kessler in the 1970s. Too much trash, he warned, and the pieces would collide with each other, resulting in more and more debris.
To build its debris-catching net, JAXA brought in Nitto Seimo, a company that specialises in fishing equipment. Unlike a net you would use in the ocean, this one is a 700-metre-long mesh of aluminium and steel wires that hangs from an uncrewed spacecraft. The net is fitted with sensors that look for light reflecting from small pieces of debris and automatically aligns itself so that it can attract the material. The tether changes its orbit thanks to an electrical current flowing through the wires, which creates an electromagnetic field that attracts the debris and pushes the net away from Earth's geomagnetic field. Once the net has grabbed enough debris it is ordered to slow down and de-orbit, allowing the debris, spacecraft and net to burn up as they enter Earth's atmosphere.
JAXA thinks the net's main advantage is its simplicity – it's lightweight and doesn't require any propellant to move. If next month's test launch goes well, it plans to build a 10-kilometre-long version to capture satellites that have reached the end of their lives.
However, the test will also explore some possible drawbacks. One concern is that the net will work very slowly, taking several months or even a year to de-orbit. Then there is the risk that the net will run into operational satellites. The engineers also worry that the debris they are fighting could fight back. "There is a possibility of the tether being severed by impacts of small debris objects or micrometeoroids," says a JAXA spokesperson.
Not everyone is convinced of the idea. A net isn't necessarily the best option to collect debris, says Hugh Lewis, an aerospace engineer at the University of Southampton, UK. He has reservations about the net's ability to deal with space junk. In particular, he believes it could actually generate debris if it collides with a large satellite.
"There is a growing trend for organisations to put forward a concept for a debris removal device without considering fully the potential risks involved in deploying and operating the device," says Lewis. "I believe that these ideas should be subjected to international scrutiny before they are deployed."
This article will appear in print under the headline "Gone junk fishing"
Catch 'em, drag 'em, blast 'em
Using a net is just one of the many proposed solutions to the orbital debris problem (see main story).
• Sweep it up: A team at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne is building a robot, CleanSpaceOne, to sweep up junk. It will deploy grippers inspired by jellyfish to embrace the target before steering itself on a suicide dive into Earth's atmosphere.
• Drag it down: European aerospace company EADS Astrium wants to give satellites in-built sails to act as an "orbital brake", dragging them into Earth's atmosphere.
• Blast it away: Boeing wants to send up a rocket that could dispel the debris with blasts of inert gas. Others want to use lasers to clear the way.

2010 Top Gear Awards: Cabriolet of the Year
Gorgeous 440bhp V8 Maserati GranCabrio shatters the peace in rural China...
Posted: 14 Jan 2011
Outside again, the Maserati is caked in a fine layer of dust, an essential part of the Beijing motoring experience. Go back to the auditorium, and buy some glass cleaner.
Munching on sponge fingers as the mechanised suburbs fall away, with the roof now down, the GranCabrio sucks in our first taste of proper rural China. The heavy smog of the city seems not just miles, but generations away from the clean, crisp, autumnal atmosphere of the villages around Huairou, due north of Beijing. Here, small pockets of agricultural housing pepper a vast landscape of fields and reservoirs. In the distance, pale blue and hazy, densely wooded hills create a backdrop so theatrical in its picture-postcard perfection that it might have been glued there for our benefit.

"… If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law. "
If the President does not sign the bill within the required time period, the bill becomes law by default. However, the exception to this rule is if Congress adjourns before the ten days have passed and the President has not yet signed the bill. In such a case, the bill does not become law; it is effectively, if not actually, vetoed. If the President does sign the bill, it becomes law. Ignoring legislation, or "putting a bill in one's pocket" until Congress adjourns is thus called a pocket veto. Since Congress cannot vote while in adjournment, a pocket veto cannot be overridden (but see below). James Madison became the first president to use the pocket veto in 1812.
Mason's Manual says:
"When legislation is passed so late in the session that the session ends prior to the expiration of the time the governor is given to act on bills, the governor has the power to withhold action on the bill and let it die from failure to approve it. This is called the pocket veto.
In December 2007, President George W. Bush pushed the pocket veto into murky waters by claiming that he had pocket vetoed H.R. 1585, the "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, even though the House of Representatives had designated agents to receive presidential messages before adjourning. The bill had been previously passed by veto-proof majorities in both the House and the Senate. If the President had chosen to veto the bill, he would have been required to return it to the house whence it originated, which, in this case, was the House of Representatives. The House then could have voted to override the veto, and the Senate could then do likewise. In the event that each house had voted by at least two-thirds majority to override the veto, the bill would become law.
A spokesperson for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) stated: "Congress vigorously rejects any claim that the president has the authority to pocket-veto this legislation, and will treat any bill returned to the Congress as open to an override vote." A White House spokesperson has said: "A pocket veto, as you know, is essentially putting it in your pocket and not taking any action whatsoever. And when Congress — the House is out of session — in this case it's our view that bill then would not become law."
Louis Fisher, a constitutional scholar at the Library of Congress indicated: "The administration would be on weak grounds in court because they would be insisting on what the Framers decidedly rejected: an absolute veto. By "absolute veto" Fisher was referring to the fact that a bill that has been pocket vetoed cannot be overridden. Instead, the bill must be reintroduced into both houses of Congress, and again passed by both houses, an effort which can be very difficult to achieve.
In the end, the House of Representatives did not attempt to override it. Instead, in January 2008, the House effectively killed H.R. 1585 by referring it to the Armed Services Committee. It then passed H.R. 4986, a bill nearly identical to H.R. 1585 but slightly modified to meet the President's objection, which subsequently became law.
This is not the first time that a President has attempted to pocket veto a bill despite the presence of agents to receive his veto message. Both George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton made similar attempts.

FF Scala
|Martin Majoor
FF Scala is an old style, humanist, serif typeface designed by Dutch typeface designer Martin Majoor in 1990 for the Muziekcentrum Vredenburg in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The FF Scala font family was named for the Teatro alla Scala (1776–78) in Milan, Italy. Like many contemporary Dutch serif faces, FF Scala is not an academic revival of a single historic typeface but shows influences of several historic models. Similarities can be seen with William Addison Dwiggins' 1935 design for the typeface Electra in its clarity of form, and rhythmic, highly calligraphic italics. Eric Gill's 1931 typeface Joanna (released by Monotype Corporation in 1937), with its old style armature but nearly square serifs, is also similar in its nearly mono-weighted stroke width.
FF Scala is a complete typeface family. True small capitals, a wide range of ligatures, lining, and non-lining (old style figures) are available. A companion sans-serif version, FF Scala Sans was released in 1992. In 1997 a decorative variety of capitals titled FF Scala Jewel[1] was released. These show influence of Dutch Baroque decorative capitals. The FF Scala face and its related faces are widely used in publishing. FF Scala used to be the house typeface for the prominent Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad and for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

Dell drama takes new twist with 2 new buyout bids
"It would be naive to move forward without Michael Dell," Moorhead said. "He is the glue the keeps the place together."
Other analysts fault Michael Dell for not reacting more swiftly to a computing shift unleashed by the 2007 introduction of Apple Inc.'s iPhone and the 2010 release of Apple's iPad. Those products ushered in an era of powerful and elegantly designed mobile devices that are causing consumers and companies to spend less on PCs. The upheaval is crimping Dell's earnings and has left its stock well below its price of $24 when Michael Dell returned for his second stint as CEO in early 2007.
Michael Dell, who would contribute about $4.5 billion in cash and stock to finance his preferred deal, believes he will be in a better position to overhaul the company if he doesn't have to worry about catering to Wall Street's fixation on short-term earnings and revenue growth.
Icahn, Blackstone and other current Dell shareholders also believe the company can bounce back. They just don't want to see Dell sold at a perceived discount that would deny existing shareholders the benefits of a potential comeback.
Under Icahn's proposal, his group would spend more than $15.6 billion to buy 1.04 billion shares of Dell stock, leaving about 900 million of the existing shares still on the market. If Icahn didn't spend all the money earmarked for buying 58 percent of the outstanding stock, the remaining amount would be distributed in the form of a special dividend. Icahn said he and his affiliates currently own about $1 billion worth of Dell's stock.
Blackstone's proposal doesn't spell out how much money it would spend to buy Dell's existing stock, nor does it estimate how much stock would remain trading on the Nasdaq exchange. The New York firm said it hopes to team up with Michael Dell and also hopes to work with other major company shareholders, including Southeastern Asset Management and the T. Rowe Price Group. Both of those shareholders, who combined own nearly 13 percent of Dell's stock, oppose the offer currently backed by Michael Dell.
In a letter to Dell's special committee, Blackstone predicted its bid would be more "compelling" than the deal proposed by Michael Dell and Silver Lake.
If the deal with Michael Dell and Silver Lake falls apart, they would be owed a $180 million breakup fee.
The flexibility of the two new bids appeals to Bill Nygren, manager of the Oakmark Fund and affiliates, which owns about 25 million shares of Dell stock.
"Given the wide range of estimated values for Dell shares, if all else is nearly equal, we believe a proposal is superior if it allows investors who want to remain invested in Dell the opportunity to do so," Nygren said.
Dell shareholders who choose to retain some of the company's stock will be assuming the risk that things could get even worse if the turnaround plan flops and the sales in the slumping PC market deteriorate even more.
Although Dell has expanded into business software, technology consulting services and storage products, about 70 percent of its revenue remains tied to PCs and peripheral products, estimated Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu. That's one of the main reasons Dell's stock price had slipped below $10 before talk of a buyout began swirling earlier this year.
"What is going on now is quite good for Dell shareholders," Wu said. "It's a bit like a bailout."

Hard Money Lenders are private companies or individuals who lend out capital to fund real estate deals. The loans, called "Hard Money Loans" or "Private Money Loans" can be a significant source of financing for real estate investors needing short-term access to funds. This directory includes hundreds of hard money lenders from across the country who have money to loan.
Hard money lenders have a variety of different rates, fees, and terms that you will need to become fully acquainted with. Rates and fees are typically much higher than conventional mortgages, usually ranging between 8 and 15% depending on the loan amount and term length. When taking out a hard money loan, you will usually pay a fee ranging between 3 and 10 % of the loan amount; this fee is also known as paying "points."
Finally, hard money lenders typically lend for only very short terms, usually between 6 and 24 months. Hard money loans should never be used in place of a regular mortgage - such as for a rental or your primary residence, unless you have a clearly defined exit strategy in place to pay the loan off within the time frame allocated.

In late 1971, Ray Tomlinson was part of a group developing the TENEX time-sharing system. Back in the day, computing power was centrally located and you paid for your slice of time on the mainframe. If you were on site, you submitted jobs via directly connected terminals. If you were off-site, you used an acoustic coupler (a telephone handset plugged into a pair of rubber form-fitted cups) to dial in to the mainframe at earth shattering speeds up to 300 BPS. Crazy, right?
Anyway, Ray was fiddling with a local messaging program called SNDMSG. This web page tells the story of how Ray morphed his SNDMSG program to communicate between remote computers. One thing I found especially fascinating about this story is the origins of the at sign "@" to indicate that the message was to go to a different host. All this in Ray's own words.
Another example of a person who changed the world for the better and didn't make a penny.
Here's a link to Ray's wiki page.

Whole Roasted Chicken Infused With Tangerines And Rosemary With A Tangerine Glaze
Citrus of any sort pairs well with chicken. Stuff the bird with oranges, lemons or tangerines and it will infuse citrus flavor both into the chicken and into your pan gravy. The tangerine glaze helps give this dish a flavor boost.
- 1 whole chicken, about 4 pounds
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper
- Essence
- 1 yellow onion, cut into fourths
- 3 tangerines, cut into fourths
- 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 1 cup fresh tangerine juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper
- 8 roasted new potatoes, cut into wedges, warm
- 1 cup assorted roasted baby root vegetables, i.e. baby carrots, red and golden beets, warm
- 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rub the entire chicken with the butter. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Essence, including the cavity and the area between the skin and the breast meat. Season with onions and tangerines with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the onions, tangerines, and fresh rosemary. Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan. Place in the oven. Roast the chicken for 45 minutes to an hour or until the juices run clear. After the chicken has roasted for 20 minutes, bast the entire bird with the pan drippings. Bast every ten minutes. For the glaze: Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to rest, reserving the pan drippings. In a hot saute pan, add the pan drippings, tangerine juice, and honey . Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the sauce to 1/2 cup, about 8 to 10 minutes. Place the roasted chicken on a platter. Arrange the roasted vegetables around the roasted chicken. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and garnish with Essence and fresh rosemary.

BRAIN infections in childhood can raise the risk of developing schizophrenia later in life.
Krister Kristensson of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, and colleagues studied 1.2 million children born in Sweden between 1973 and 1985. Children who got mumps with complications of brain inflammation before the age of 12 had almost three times the risk of developing schizophrenia after the age of 15. The risk for children who developed a cytomegalovirus infection jumped nearly 17 times.
But no such link was seen for bacterial or enteroviral infections, which do not invade the brain. Kristensson presented the results at the World Congress of Neuroscience in Melbourne, Australia, last week.

News Not Fit to Print
Former San Diego Mayor Maureen O'Connor acknowledged Thursday in federal court that she misappropriated $2 million from her late husband's charitable foundation due to a gambling addiction in which she won more than $1 billion but lost even more over nearly a decade.
O'Connor made the acknowledgement in an agreement with the government to defer prosecution for two years while she attempts to repay the debt.
Before entering federal court Thursday, O'Connor defense attorney Gene Iredale said O'Connor suffered a brain tumor, during which time she gambled away nearly a billion dollars of her inheritance, CBS San Diego affiliate KFMB-TV reports.
"She's not pleading guilty. She's not going to be convicted of a crime," Iredale told reporters. "It's a case in which we've agreed that charges will be filed, but they will be dismissed without a conviction, assuming that Maureen has appropriate treatment and conforms to the law for a period of two years."
Iredale said O'Connor's poor health contributed to the gambling problem and that she took the money to repay her debts, KFMB-TV reports.
O'Connor was the DEMOCRATIC leader of California's second-largest city from 1986 to 1992. The two-term mayor was elected San Diego's first female leader after eight years on the City Council. She was married to Robert O. Peterson, founder of the Jack-In-The-Box restaurant chain.
Prosecutors said her gambling winnings amounted to more than $1 billion from 2000 to 2009 but she lost more than that.
Her defense attorney estimated the debt at $13 million.
O'Connor gambled in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, N.J., and San Diego.
Hey, they got to it in the sixth paragraph—not bad!
And is this a great country or what? You can swipe—I mean "misappropriate"—two million dollars—money meant for charity—and do no jail time.
But didn't she just do what Democrats routinely do? Bet wildly with other people's money? Same [bleep], different Democrat.

Japan Urged to Apologize for Its Past Crimes and Redeem Them
| Pyongyang, January 25 (KCNA) -- Japan's settlement of its past is a key issue in normalizing the DPRK-Japan relations, observes Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a bylined commentary.
The process to improve the relations between the DPRK and Japan is not a bargaining, the commentary notes, and goes on: It is a matter of opening good-neighborly and friendly relations with the DPRK on the basis of Japan's full redemption of its crime-woven past. To this end, Japan should fulfill its historical responsibility.
Had the Japanese ruling quarters have the ability to foresee the future with a good judgment of the times, they would have taken practical measures for the settlement of their past before raising irrelevant issues.
Japan is, however, talking about "improved relations" with the DPRK, while concealing its past crimes. This is a just mockery of the Korean people, human conscience and justice.
The abnormal DPRK-Japan relations can never be settled as long as Japan shuns the settlement of its past. This is a lesson taught by the past talks and contacts for improving their relations.
It is illogical for Japan to call for the "improved bilateral relations" while shelving the issue of apologizing for its past wrongs and redressing them.
The issues of confidence building and fence mending between the DPRK and Japan can be settled only through Japan's solution of the above-said issue.
Japan's settlement of its past wrongs is not a matter that allows it to behave as it pleases as regards the issue. This is an issue which Japan should clinch without fail and an urgent matter to be solved for improving its relations with the DPRK.
If Japan truly wants to see the improved relations with the DPRK, it should properly understand this basic issue and make a bold decision to redeem its past as early as possible.

Re: Another GT-240 Audio/video Issue

When capturing audio and video, each frame of video and packet of audio is marked with a capture timestamp. During playback, SW attempts to have video and audio frames/packets with the same timestamp play back at the same time to maintain AV sync. However, this only works if the clock source used to create those timestamps at recording time are the same, and the clock source used for both video and audio during playback are the same.
I imagine the HDHR has a HW design that uses the same clock for recording both video and audio, and hence the timestamp streams correctly align in the encoded file.
With your new HD-PVR setup, I'm not sure whether the HD-PVR is a box that encode both the audio and video, or whether it's a PCI/PCI-E card that just captures the video, while you're using a PC sound-card to capture the audio? In the latter case, different clocks are used, so the timestamps will drift apart, causing the kind of issue you're seeing. Even if the HD-PVR is a single all-in-one device, it may have been incorrectly designed and hence produce a timestamp drift that the HDHR doesn't.
Finally, in the PC architecture, the PC's system clock, the video scanout clock, and the audio clock are all completely different clocks, and will suffer some drift. This in itself can produce the kind of issue you're seeing too.
Summary: Getting AV sync correct on a PC without dropping/duplicating either video frames or short segments of audio is impossible.
That said, the apparent rate of frame drops in your log seems excessive. To find the real cause, some significant analysis of the video files would be required. I'd suggest asking in a MythTV forum about this though.
I need to make an important correction. Namely, I am seeing the same behavior (log messages) when I playback content from both the SiliconDust HDHomeRun AND the Hauppauge HD-PVR. Originally, I thought this was strictly related to the content captured by the HD-PVR (H.264). However, it is also observed for the HDHR (mpeg-2) as well. Maybe this is a good thing since it points to something in my configuration that is equally affecting playback of content from both devices.
To clarify, the HD-PVR is an H.264 encoder that captures both audio and video from a STB (over a USB connection).
Again, if I completely disable audio in the myth setup, the messages stop (and so does the sound).
I'll keep looking. Tips appreciated.

don't ask -- it was probably one of the low points of this list.
basically, this guy asked:
how do i run a program on linux?
and my response was to tell him how to run a program (type the name in
at a prompt, possibly prepending a "./" in front of the name). i then
suggested that he read a general book on using linux.
he basically had a cow. a ... mad ... cow.

the most common cause of a *serious* linux problem (like spontaneous
rebooting or hanging) is a general hardware problem (of which, hard
drive problems are a subset of).
also, hard drives are very easy to replace. replacing your first hard
drive is easier than replacing your first stick of DIMM. hd's are
idiot proof (well almost. sorry, mike ;) ).
the hardest part of installing a hard drive is getting the case on the
computer again. ;)

ok, this might be an indication of a bona-fide kernel crash. that's
when linux "stops running". the kernel stops responding to any event.
may be a ram problem. doubt it's hard drive related. a user space
program shouldn't be taking the whole system down.

i would say that "running linux" and "linux in a nutshell" are both good
books, but unsuited to learn from. they're both good reference
get yourself one of those huge honka-books. the kind that are
published by QUE. the 1000 page ones.
pick a few chapters to read from. obviously, you don't need to know
much about name service or (at this stage in the game) firewalling.
read what seems relevent. i read "redhat secrets unleashed" when i
first installed linux. eventually, i read the book cover to cover, but
would take the book to delta of venus on sundays and read the book from
9 to 12. or i'd take the book with me on trips to the registrar's
office and read it while waiting on line. or waiting on the lines at
safeway. that sort of thing.
eventually, i covered the whole book. i learned more about linux in those
few months than i've learned in the rest of the 3 years that i've
used linux.

The term served to distinguish those who were captains by rank from
Once an officer had been promoted to post-captain, his further promotion was strictly by seniority; if he could avoid death or disgrace, he would eventually become an admiral (even if only a yellow admiral).
In the Royal Navy of the time, an officer might have a rank, but not a command. Until the officer had a command, he was "on the beach" and on half-pay. An officer who was promoted from commander was a captain, but until he was given a command, he was on half-pay. Once the captain was given a command, his name was "posted" in the "Naval Gazette."
An officer "took post" or was "made post" when he was first commissioned to command a rated vessel — that is, a ship too important to be commanded by a mere commander. Unrated vessels could also in some cases be commanded by post-captains. Being "made post" is portrayed as the most crucial event in an officer's career in both Forester's Horatio Hornblower series and O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series.
A junior post-captain would usually command a frigate or a comparable ship, while a senior post-captain (i.e. a full rank captain) would command a ship of the line.
After 1795, when they were first introduced on Royal Navy uniforms, the number and position of epaulettes distinguished between commanders and post-captains of various seniorities. A commander wore a single epaulette on the left shoulder. A post-captain with less than three years seniority wore a single epaulette on the right shoulder, and a post-captain with three or more years seniority wore an epaulette on each shoulder. (National Maritime Museum Uniform Collection, see below.) In the O'Brian series, Aubrey "wets the swab" -- that is, he celebrates his promotion to commander and the acquisition of his "swab" or epaulette with the consumption of copious amounts of alcohol.
Note that the term was descriptive only: no-one was ever styled "Post-Captain John Smith".
