Note: Desmond Bryant is a graduate of East Bladen High School and Harvard. Bryant is currently in the middle of his fourth NFL season. He did not play in the second half of Sunday's NFL game against Tampa Bay due to an accelerated heartbeat. Click play video after our video is loaded to see a portion of Monday's news conference with Oakland head coach Dennis Allen.
OAKLAND,CA (Courtesy Oakland Raiders) — Excerpts from the news conference on Monday from Oakland head coach Dennis Allen.
On Desmond Bryant "He is at home. They released him from the hospital today. He had a fast, irregular heart beat and he was kept overnight in the hospital, released today and he is back home with a normal heart beat."
On if Desmond Bryant's condition was new: "It's nothing with him that we've dealt with. I don't really know to the extent or what it really means, but I know that our medical people are on top of it."
On if Bryant will practice Wednesday: "No, he will not practice on Wednesday. There's a couple of things that he's got to do, but he has not been ruled out for this weekend and we'll see where we're at after Wednesday if he's able to go on Thursday or Friday."
On Andre Carter's play time: "I don't remember the exact number of plays that he played in the game, twenty-something plays. It was probably the most productive that he's been since he's been active for us. I really see that kind of as his role; he's going to be anywhere from 25-35 plays in a game and we hope that he can give us some rush ability and the ability to get after the quarterback a little bit."
On if Bryant approached the coaches and told him he wasn't feeling well: "I'm not sure exactly how that went. I just know that [Head Athletic Trainer H.] Rod [Martin] grabbed me basically coming out of halftime and said that they had him running some tests on him for an irregular heartbeat and that's really the extent of what I know
HARRISONBURG, VA (UNCW) — Dale Robins-Bailey knocked home the game-winning goal in the 95th minute to upend UNCW, 4-3, as James Madison advanced to the Colonial Athletic Association semifinals this weekend in Philadelphia, Pa.
The Seahawks see their season end with a 7-11-1 record while the third-seeded Dukes improved to 9-6-2 and will play Northeastern on Nov. 9. JMU edged UNCW earlier this season, 2-1, in double overtime at the UNCW Soccer Stadium.
The game-winning goal was set up by a Seahawk foul midway through the overtime period. The free kick looked like it was sailing over the end line, but Adam Bastidas was able to keep the ball in play and sent a short cross into the penalty area for Robins-Bailey.
The overtime strike was needed after JMU wasted a 3-1 advantage after sophomore David Sizemore scored twice in the second half for UNCW. His first goal came in the 57th minute and was unassisted, but he drew the Seahawks even, 3-all, in the 87th off a feed by sophomore Jamie Dell.
UNCW freshman striker Colin Bonner netted his sixth goal of the season as the Seahawks opened the scoring in the seventh minute. Fellow rookie Nathaniel Goodwin set up the play with a cross from the right side where Bonner used his 6-foot-4 frame to head home the opening goal.
After that quick goal, the Dukes pressured the Seahawks and Paul Wyatt knotted the game with his eighth goal of the season, coming in the 23rd minute. Wyatt, the Dukes' leading scorer, was on the finishing end of a feed from Tom Whitebread.
Josh Grant's seventh goal of the season put the Dukes in front, 2-1, in the 32nd minute.
Wyatt would strike again in the 50th minute for a 3-1 JMU lead. Jamal Umar was credited with an assist on the play.
UNCW freshman goalkeeper Sam Williams made a season-high 11 saves while facing 30 Duke shots on the night.
The Seahawks tied a program-record with three goals, matching their output in a 1999 play-in 3-2 win over George Mason. Sizemore also matched Russell Bienias' record of two goals in a 2-0 win over VCU in 2005.
Wyatt finished the night with five points after adding an assist on Grant's goal.

Zero-day attack hits Word

Zero-day WednesdaysJuly 24, 2006
When a user opens a rigged Word file, it may corrupt system memory in such a way that an attacker could gain complete control over the PC, Microsoft said in a security advisory posted late Wednesday. Office 2000 and Office XP are at risk, the company said. The two recent versions, Office 2003 and 2007, are not affected.
As with most of the Office vulnerabilities, an attacker would have to trick a user into opening a malicious file to be successful. The vulnerability is being exploited in "very limited, targeted attacks," Microsoft said. A security update to repair the problem is in the works, it added.
Word of the new flaw comes a day after Microsoft released updates for nine other Office-related vulnerabilities. Five of them were zero-day flaws, or security holes that have been publicly disclosed but not fixed.
Security experts have said that limited-scale attacks are the most dangerous. Widespread worms, viruses or Trojan horses sent to millions of mailboxes are typically not a grave concern, because they can be blocked. But targeted Trojan horses, especially those aimed at specific businesses, have become nightmares as they can fly under the radar.
Cybercrooks have found that they can take advantage of Microsoft's security update cycle by timing new attacks right before or just after "Patch Tuesday"--the second Tuesday of each month when the software maker releases its fixes. Some security watchers have coined the term "zero-day Wednesday" to describe that strategy.

- Ha, I Can't Even Patch Office Anymore
- I got sick of having 3 years worth of MS patches chew up my disk space so I deleted those useless MSP files. Now every time I try to do an MS Office updated, I get this stupid message. What kind of crappy technology does MS use, where every blasted patch they issue has to consume gobs of disk space? Can't they just put a simple entry in the Registry and be done with it? Oh, I forgot, if they didn't have crappy technology in the first place they wouldn't have to keep issuing patches.
"Office Update is unable to check for updates
The Office Update site is unable to check for updates on this computer. This may be happening because of one of the following reasons:
You do not have administrative privileges for this computer.
There is a network problem and the detection catalog used by the Office Update site failed to download. Go back to the Downloads home page and try running detection again.
Windows Installer patch files (.MSP files) from previously applied Office updates are missing from the \Windows\Installer hidden directory on your computer. MSP files are stored on your computer after update installation completes because they need to be referenced for future update operations. If the files are missing you will not be able to apply Office updates. You may also be unable to uninstall Office products as a result of the same problem."

Maybe you shouldn't have deleted the MSP files, the error tells you as much.
"MSP files are stored on your computer after update installation completes because they need to be referenced for future update operations"
this is why a "registry reference" would not work, it need to access parts of code contained within the previous updates.
Or is this a pirated copy of Office?
I bet you could pick up Word Perfect for just about nothing, and it hasn't been updated in years, so have fun.

- No, It Is Bad MS Programming
- Think about how nuts this is. First you install a patch which replaces existing .exe or .dll. Then Windoze keeps a "backup" copy of things in case you want to back out the patch. OK, fine. But there is no capability at some point to say, "clean out the old crud patches". So over time you end up with 100s of megs of patch crud that you are stuck with. That is just nuts. Poor, poor, design.
The particular problem with MS Office referencing these old MSP files in order to process future patches doesn't occur with patches to the OS. I delete old XP patch files all the time and never have a problem subsequently running new XP updates.

Luke Dorn returns for the new season!
While the season didn't quite start as they'd hoped at London Broncos, Luke Dorn explains why there's no reason to press the panic button just yet
By Luke Dorn
Last Updated: 08/02/13 5:52pm
We have high expectations for our individual performances this year and especially being the first game of the season and at home, we were very disappointed to lose to Widnes.
We were outplayed and didn't step up to the mark. We didn't get going until the second half and before then we had been tentative, which is unlike us.
Widnes, to be fair, played a good style of footy; they threw the ball around and asked plenty of questions. They've made some quality signings and still have some big names, Kevin Brown and Gareth Hock, to come back in as well.
Yet while it is not the start we wanted, it is only one game. It's something we have learned from already.
We are looking for improvement from last year, which was obviously a disappointment. But 2012 has now gone and this is a year for optimism.
If you're not aiming to make the play-offs and win the competition, I don't really see the point in taking part.
We haven't set down any specific goals for the campaign, but everyone in their mind knows that coming eighth is a bare minimum requirement. If we don't achieve that, we will be seriously disappointed.
We are confident, though, that we can surpass that mark and put our stamp on the competition. It didn't get off to the start we wanted, but every good team has had to overcome a loss.
Plenty has been said about some surprising results in round one of the competition. Perhaps, though, it's too early to say after just one week; players have come and gone from clubs, plus there are new coaches in place, so it's hard to know really what is an upset at the moment.
What we can perhaps surmise is that Super League is getting closer between the top and the bottom. With each year that passes it appears more teams are challenging, and that can only be a good thing overall.
I guess the fact that the Australian market has dried up has played a part in that. There aren't many coming over from the NRL now, and that will probably remain the case until the British pound improves against the Australian dollar.
Also, clubs Down Under now have larger salary caps than before, thanks in part to the competition being awash with money after a new TV deal.
To recruit big names in the past you normally had to look overseas, but that's not so much the case now. Obviously Hull getting Gareth Ellis - an Englishman returning home - was the marquee acquisition of the off-season, but there hasn't been a great deal of major signings.
Instead there's been a realisation by clubs that they now have to develop their young players, to grow from within for long-term success.
Everyone's academy systems are getting stronger and stronger, and with the way the RFL have set things up, with so many juniors having to be included in squads, there is a lot more time and funding being put into junior players. The competition, and the game itself, will eventually bear fruit from it.

What is Vitacost Aged Garlic Extract?
Vitacost Aged Garlic Extract is a garlic supplement that also supplies red yeast rice. Garlic (Allium sativum) is a plant native to Asia, used for centuries for both culinary and health purposes. Garlic bulbs, the most commonly used part of the plant, contain numerous phytochemicals, including a substance called alliin.
Alliin is a sulfur-containing compound derived from the amino acid cysteine. It is the precursor to another compound, allicin, believed to be the primary active ingredient in garlic. Aged garlic extract is made by fermenting garlic cloves for up to two years in order to break down allicin into useable compounds.
Red yeast rice is a naturally derived extract also used in Asia for its health-promoting properties.* It consists of the by-product formed when cooked, non-glutinous rice is covered by a growth of red yeast and then undergoes the process of fermentation.

Duke Nukem Forever and LinuxJune 28th, 2000 by Crusader
In an IRC chat (run by MadOnion) with the 3D Realms developers working on Duke Nukem Forever, Chris Hargrove addressed the issue of a Linux port for the upcoming Unreal Tournament engine-based game:
02:11 <gene_MOM> <crosma> What support does 3DRealms have for the Linux O/S?
02:12 <ChrisH3DR> We aren't focusing too heavily on Linux support right now, at least not in-house, although that might be something we farm out in the same way as console ports (although it'd be a simpler task). That's still up in the air.

Expert advises: Act now on climate change
12 March 2009 — 2:00 PM
People need to act now and go green rather than have to deal with the consequences later, one expert has advised.
A spokesman for the WWF, an international organisation which focuses on a range of environmental issues, said consumers and businesses need to take short-term action to achieve long-term success.
Colin Butfield, head of campaigns at the group, explained although small things like switching off lights would only save a minimal amount of energy it could have a greater impact later.
"From a UK business point of view tackling climate change is actually going to be a very positive thing and probably considered far more positive than to leave it unchecked and to have to deal with the impact," he added.
Recycling mobile phones is one way in which companies and consumers can limit their environmental impact, as well as generate cash to pay for the latest contracts.

Google's chastity belt too tightApril 23, 2004
An investigation published Thursday by CNET News.com showed that Google's new China search engine not only censored criticisms of the Chinese government, but went further than similar services from Microsoft and Yahoo by targeting sites related to teen pregnancy, alcohol, dating and homosexuality.
On Friday morning, however, those previously verboten sites became available through Google.cn. That brings Google's filtering in line with blacklists used by Microsoft and Yahoo.

Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday. Earlier in the week, however, the company had said that its product launches are typically "followed by a process of identifying and correcting bugs or other technical issues. Google.cn is no exception, and we will continue to refine our processes to ensure that we are filtering the minimum necessary."
"Before this, I was actually of the mind that if you're doing the disclosure, this is the way to go," said Danny Sullivan, editor of SearchEngineWatch.com. "The more I thought about this, I realized this is evil. You're caving into censorship that you in your heart of hearts don't believe in."
Even though Google founder Sergey Brin had promised that deletions would be listed, the initial version of Google.cn frequently did not do so. The debugged version appears to have fixed that problem.
It's not entirely clear what caused the initial version of Google.cn's embarrassing bugs, which had caused Microsoft sites and the University of Pennsylvania's engineering school to vanish from search listings.
One potential explanation is that Google had been using a version of its "SafeSearch" software, which it describes as adult-site filtering technology that "checks keywords and phrases."
SafeSearch has proven to be flawed in the past. A 2004 investigation by CNET News.com showed that it blocked many innocuous Web sites based solely on strings of letters such as "sex," "girls" or "porn" embedded in their domain names. PartsExpress.com, ALittleGirlsBoutique.com, RomansInSussex.co.uk, ArkansasExtermination.com and BassExpert.com, for instance, were incorrectly identified as pornographic.
Google.cn seemed to work the same way, delisting an Essex County Web site apparently because the word "sex" appeared in the the domain name.
Because access from China to the U.S.-based Google.com site is limited for financial and political reasons, the vast majority of Chinese are forced to turn to domestic search engines instead. Google's Brin has estimated that Google.com is available to only half of the country's users. Other reports say that when search terms such as "Tiananmen Square" are typed in on Google.com, the site immediately becomes unreachable for a few hours.

- googlewatch! - is google blocked from _outside_ china?!
- the sidebar on un/blocked sites is an excellent resource ... it should become part of a 'googlewatch' feature!
this may be just a fluke - but google.com.cn (and goggle.cn) are automatically referred to google.ca (when that is the default value stored in the browser's cache).
which means that outsiders do not have a way to conduct their own tests!
(and if this is true, then did cnet perform the tests from within china?)
some clarification would be useful.

- What will happen...
- Chinese people will simply stop using google to search, and opt to get their news elsewhere. Sadly, the Chinese governement probably has control at an ISP level to filter out content. A way around this may be to provide some sort of long range wireless. We have to help them keep a few steps ahead.

Carla Schroder said in a post on LXer, a community Linux news site, which she has rejoined after her termination, that she was laid off in the week beginning March 13. Her post was titled "Dilbert, Office Space and Layoffs."
"Save your sympathy because while it sucks to be given the boot, it's all good. I can't say a whole lot without incurring the wrath of lawyers, so use your imagination to fill in the gaps. You'll probably be close to the truth," she wrote.
Schroder, a feisty and well-liked editor if one goes by regular readers' comments, said that keeping Linux Today and its sister site Linux Planet going - she was managing editor of both since July 2008 - was "an uphill battle, for various reasons".
(Disclosure: a large number of my articles have been submitted to Linux Today and have been posted there.)
"The best part is both sites (Linux Today and Linux Planet) had real communities of both long-time and new readers," wrote Schroder, a passionate FOSS advocate.
"The Linux Today Talkbacks aren't quite as lively as they used to be, and I never had enough time to participate as much as I wanted. But I loved reading them, all full of smarts, wit, peeve, insights, humor, and great rants."
There was no inkling about her departure but regulars noticed that the site was not updated during the week when the sackings took place. Updates only resumed on March 23.
The next one knew about it was when her replacement, Michael Hall, who has filled the role in the past, posted to the Linux Today website, informing readers about Schroder's termination and linking to her post at LXer.
"Personally, all I can say is that I consider her a good friend, and that I'm sorry she wasn't given a chance to say goodbye here, among the community she's been part of for years," Hall wrote.

What is Oulipo? Here's a neat, all purpose definition from Oulipo founder, poet Jacques Roubaud.
This usually means doing something complicated with words (but, if you can't be bothered to do N+7 the long way, I discovered this)
In the latest issue of the White Review, which is launching tonight.I've attempted to exhaust George Perec's essay, "An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris", in which the writer sat down for three consecutive days in the Place Saint Sulpice, Paris, trying to record everything that he observed.
The first step in building the Oulipian labyrinth as a visual is surely to create a key that is, if possible, more complicated than the words it represents. After all Walter Benjamin (not an Oulipian, but similar hair) once said

Yael Cohen (right) used her mother Diane's fight with breast cancer to launch both a crusade and a company aimed at changing the conversation we have about all kinds of cancer.FCancer
Beyond the lack of desire to really discuss cancer, there lies another problem—the fact that we don't know how to talk about cancer. I mean really talk about cancer, not around it. We feel guilty, confused, uncomfortable and a million other emotions. It's natural, but it means we often ask empty questions ("How are you?") give hollow support ("I'm here if you need anything") or give vacant answers ("I'm good").
We wanted to create a shift in how we talk about cancer and how we show support. FC created resources to help people learn to navigate the part of cancer we sometimes forget to teach. Things like how to tell your mom you have cancer, how to tell your partner your child has cancer, how to explain to your 5-year-old what's going on in their body, how to support a sibling with cancer and—if you're the patient—how to ask for the help you need and really discuss what you're going through.
We wanted to help teach people how to have meaningful conversations and give valuable support. Cancer isn't going anywhere soon, so we need to learn how to discuss it authentically and really support each other in a significant way.
So no, I'm not going to bang the drum about how being a woman has made things so hard in the business world, or how women need to support each other more (which they do—my favorite Madeleine Albright quote is, "There's a special place in hell for women who don't support other women.")
Instead, I'm going to continue to do what we are doing and talk about how being a woman has not only changed my life, but it is also allowing me to change the lives of hundreds of thousands of others.

Indigo Books & Music Inc. is a retail chain in Canada. It was created in 1996, and their first store, called Indigo Books, Music & More, was opened in Burlington, Ontario on September 4, 1997. With the aid of Onex Corp., Indigo engaged in a hostile takeover of Chapters Inc., their largest competitor, on August 14, 2001. The founder and CEO of Indigo is Heather Reisman, wife of Gerry Schwartz, majority owner and CEO of Onex.
Originally created as a bookstore, the company now sells books, magazines, CDs, DVDs, gifts, iPods, and toys through its website indigo.ca, and in its stores.
In recent years, Indigo has partnered with Apple and iUniverse publishing. Indigo also manufactures its own brand of products, called IndigoLife. In addition, Indigo created the Indigo Trusted Advisor Program to help consumers make informed decisions when selecting books in categories such as health. This program provides customers access to expert book recommendations from Canada's leading physicians and healthcare professionals. The Trusted Advisor panel is made up of physicians and health professionals who volunteer their time to review books within their area of expertise and to approve those they would feel confident recommending to their patients. Recently, this program was expanded to include geopolitics and the environment with recommendations from authors like David Bach and David Suzuki.
In 2001, Indigo generated controversy by removing Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf from the shelves. Similarly, the company chose in 2006 not to sell the June issue of Harper's Magazine which featured an article by Art Spiegelman, in which he reprinted and discussed controversial cartoons that had sparked violent demonstrations around the world. Indigo also chose to not distribute the issue of Western Standard which reprinted and discussed those same cartoons.
In 2007, the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation produced a documentary chronicling the issue of funding for books in Canadian elementary schools. The documentary Writing on the Wall recounts the establishment of the foundation, while revealing the current conditions of school libraries and literacy in Canada. To view the documentary click: .

Classic style bike. new Triumph or Ducati?
Which would you prefer for a new bike with classic look. The Triumph bonneville, scrambler, thruxton or Ducati GT 1000, sport 1000.
I really like the looks of all of them. Never driven one of them, just seen them.
Would love some imputs from you owners.
Short answer for me is that as much as I am drawn to the looks of the Triumphs, the power was sorely missing when I test rode 3 of them(America, Bonneville and a Thruxton). From all accounts the Ducati's actually DO at least perform like a contemporary bike. Something about all that empty space above the rear wheel on the GT 1000 however leaves me wondering if the looks are satisfying enough. Not exactly a neo-classic per se, but the Guzzi Bellagio would be a strong contender if only it were available in my market.
They say a picture is worth 1000 words and I agree
those two bikes look awsome. But for the guzzis I like the V7 classic and V7 cafe better.... they have the real classic look :D But dont know too much about the guzzis are they reliable? and how are they to drive?
I'm kind of tired of the matte black paint on some of these bikes. That Guzzi would be awesome in a pearl white.
I don't think I could buy a retro-styled current production bike as it just wouldn't seem right to me, but I'm a bit of a randian in terms of aesthetics I suppose:)
I do appreciate classic looks, just not on new machines. I think if I were in the market I'd be looking for a bevel drive like this one
The Ducati is drop dead gorgeous - no doubt about it but, Not very comfy IMO and they just sit weird (and I'm a sport bike kinda guy).
The Triumphs have plenty of power for what they are and are actually comfortable & designed to ride...
I was in a similar situation when I bought a bike. I liked the gt1000, the moto guzzi and the thruxton. The ducati is beautiful bike but a complex engine and expensive. I went with the thruxton, had the fairing, tors and higher bars and its a great bike IMO. Looking and running, etc. Plus easy to maintain and easy to modify.
You need one of these
Based on a Triumph Bonneville, mucho trick :nod
As others have suggested, a Bellagio fitted with a V7 body work and cafe seat would be a nice bit of kit. Even a V7 cafe (prone) styling exercise on the Big Breva, i feel would have made more sense than on the very modest Breva 750. The more upright position on the Classic would certainly makes the 750 mill easier to live with.
I actually bit the arm off of a man that tried to throw a leg over my Triumph Scrambler without asking.
True story. :D
The Triumphs get a crap load of attention as well. Can be a bit uncomfortable at times. I've taken to calling mine The Movie Star.
Excellent bikes for just cruising around. Plenty of power for that too.
I do love the looks of the Thruxton also, but it's just too under powered IMHO.
You could get a used Triumph classic like that Thruxton and the money you save you could then spend on hotter cams and more open pipes. Thunderbike claims they can get close to 80 hp at the rear wheel with their kit.

What Types of Items Do You Crochet for Charity?
Scarves, fingerless gloves
Which Organization(s) Do You Donate Crocheted Items To?
There's a 1/2 way house a lady in my church is involved in. They help women recovering from addiction. Since I had so much yarn leftover from my Christmas projects, I donated some scarves & fingerless gloves to her. She will give them to the ladies.
- Another lady I know, gives scarves to a homeless shelter, her advice to me was to keep these scarves simple & plain. As not to call attention to the homeless person wearing them. Because they get beat up & robbed from other people when the scarves are bright or fancy.
- Since all of my yarn was bright & fancy, I donated mine to these ladies. They are intregrating themselves back into society. Going to work, going to school. Trying to become successful. So my scarves were a better fit for these ladies.
Have Your Experiences All Been Positive?
I hope these ladies like my scarves & I hope it makes them feel successful.
Which Yarn(s) Do You Use When Crocheting for Charity?
Most of these scarves were made with a yarn that looked like Homespun. But It had no label when I purchased it.
Where Do You Acquire the Yarns?
A discount store. They were 3 skeins for $6.00! It must've been "Irregular" or something wrong with it. There were a few funky spots in the yarn, nothing too major.
Amy Solovay, About.com Crochet, says:
To Noriko: Thanks for sharing these valuable insights. I really appreciate your post, and I am sure others will find it helpful.
To Everyone: We've posted many free scarf patterns for you to use in your charity crocheting (or for that matter, in all your crocheting.) Whether you're looking for ultra-simple designs or something a little fancier, either way there are options that will work.

Local Unit Commander, Bo Police Station, Superintendent Sahr R. Kamara has debunked claims of malicious prosecution by a Malian, after police arrested and charged him to court for allegedly causing public mischief.
David Traore had told the court in his previous appearance that he was arrested and charged to court because he refused to provide police with vital intelligence about a mystery arms transshipment into the country via Benin and Guinea.
Superintendent Kamara, who was testifying this week in the Freetown Magistrate Court No. 2 presided over by Magistrate Komba Kamanda, said that Traore had him that his (Traore) boss who resides in Mail was on the verge of trafficking arms and ammunition into the country.
He testified that the accused, on 20th October, gave him the piece of intelligence in his office in Bo, which he (the accused) said was for the Inspector General of Police. He said the accused told him he could not report the matter in Freetown because he had travelled in a vehicle that was headed to Bo.
"I further questioned him about his nationality and his occupation. He told me that he is a Malian and that he is a computer Engineer," he testified. "I also asked him to produce his travelling documents and he only produced a Malian ID card."
He said the accused gave him details of the two trailers, with Guinean registration numbers: RC 7864 and RC 4852 that the alleged arms and ammunition were to be transported in, disguised as building materials.
Superintendent Kamara said he alerted commanders stationed at border crossing points to look out for the said trailers, but to no avail.
Apparently, the hoax operation led police to apprehend the accused and charge him with three counts of conspiracy to cause public mischief.
He has since denied the charges, instead accusing the police of vendetta because he failed to cooperate with them.
Meanwhile, the magistrate refused to grant him bail citing "the seriousness of the matter."
The matter was adjourned to 17 December for further hearing.

No time to really post, I'm afraid, but it's a sign you've gone MIA too long when word comes through the grapevine that your family is concerned that something's happened to you.
Happy Mark of the Beast day. If you haven't already, do something devilish.
On a more sober note, CDC epidemiologists identified the disease that would come to be known as HIV/AIDS 25 years ago yesterday. Boston, New York, and San Francisco newspapers look back and take stock, as does the CDC itself. 22 million dead, 14 million orphans, if you want it by the numbers. Unfortunately, the worst is probably yet to come; while AIDS has become a manageable condition in the first world, it's shaping up to be the 21st century's Black Death in Africa and Asia, and one of the great factors that will separate global haves from have-nots.
So like I said, happy Mark of the Beast Day.

Eagle pendant/locket
2 Attachment(s)
Hi folks,
I'm just squeezing in this small project for a friend in between building the orrery that I'm currently working on (see my other thread).
It's basically a pendant, with a photo compartment, in the shape of a bald eagle, with a relatively detailed fret cut front face to a design that I've come up with over the past couple of evenings - hopefully I've not bitten off more than I can chew, because some of the holes are very small, and there are around 140 of them... what could possibly go wrong?!
I'll post some more photos after today's efforts. Wish me luck!
2 Attachment(s)
Almost half way there and no disasters yet. I've made a few changes as I've gone along to get rid of a couple of virtually impossible cuts that I'd included in the initial design (I'm a bit new to producing cut patterns like this). The claws of the feet especially were crying out to break as soon as they'd been cut, so they got changed a wee bit along with a couple of bits in the birds body - but tweaks aside, it's looking more or less like a big bird of prey!
Right, a bit of lunch and then back to it.
this is looking amazing
Looking good.
2 Attachment(s)
Well that's all the fiddly bits done without any major problems - it's less delicate than it looks, but I'm going to go a bit careful with the next stage which involves shaping and hollowing the rough cut shape to make it more, well, eagle like!
Very impressive.
Super cutting! How thick is it?
Hi Stephen, thanks very much (and to everyone else). The wood is 3mm (1/8") thick mahogany. It cuts really well at this scale - the dust is nasty though and does make me feel a bit ropey if I don't mask up, but other than that it's great to work with.
Very, very nice!
How exactly will the compartment for the photo be implemented?
Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse
2 Attachment(s)
Ok, so apart from the wing tip feather outline (to be cut next) there it is, one rough cut eagle.
As for the photo compartment, I have several different ideas, but I'm going to wait and see which way the wind takes me when it comes time to actually make it. I have a fair amount of space to work with so can do something quite mechanical and clever if the mood takes me, but be sure that I'll chart the success (or failure?!) of whatever I try over the next few days.
In the mean time though, I have to attack that beautifully delicate eagle with a 5000rpm dremel and partially hollow it out. Now I really do need some luck....

Quarry Employees, Monson, ca. 1890
Contributed by Monson Historical Society
Purchase a reproduction of this item on VintageMaineImages.com.
In this image, quarry workers are depicted carrying out several tasks required to extract slate from the earth for processing in the mills.
Workers would use shovels and metal picks to clear the larger pieces of slate from the quarry and then load it into the "box", located in the lower center of the photo, which was used to hoist the men and smaller pieces of slate in and out of the quarry.
Phillip Knight, former slate employee, has written on the back of this photograph "Notice that the cable clamps are every which way. What time I spent around the quarry, there was always an argument about which way they should be, apparently that was true back in the 1890's. We have since found the yoke part, to be on the loose end of the cable, if anything gets cut it is not the main cable. Peter Nelson on the lower ledge with shovel over his shoulder, is the father of August and Hollis Nelson."

Optimization criteria for the representability of numerical models for the estimation of relative reactivity changes, due to localized perturbations in boiling water reactor (BWR) lattices, have been theoretically developed and tested. The validity of the derived theoretical expressions has been assessed for the case of a reactivity perturbation corresponding to the removal of an individual fuel pin from a nominal BWR assembly, thus effectively substituting the pin by water. Such reactivity effects are of importance in the context of evaluating advanced fuel element designs, e.g., those employing part-length rods. Two different geometry models have been implemented for the LWR-PROTEUS critical research facility [full core (FC) and a smaller, reduced geometry (RG)], using the light water reactor assembly code BOXER, and calculations have been performed for the nominal cases (all pins present in the central test assembly) and the perturbed cases (individual pins removed). The FC results have been compared with the results of the RG model with two different boundary conditions (reflective and critical albedo). The comparisons have shown that the results of critical albedo calculations feature superior representability. Differences in relative reactivity effects, with respect to results of the FC calculation, are found to be within the range ±1 to ±4%.

The Social Madness competition measures the growth of competitors' social-media presence, and a diverse group of startups remain in the competition. Bizjournals Facebook
The Social Madness challenge presented by Capital One Spark Business is down to its final four, and startups are still in the running for the top spots.
The contest has been run by Upstart Business Journal's parent company American City Business Journals. Companies in 43 cities have been duking it out since June for a $7,500 donation to the charity of their choice. An ACBJ algorithm based on LinkedIn connections, Facebook activity, Twitter followers, and votes on bizjournals.com measures the companies' social-media growth over the competition period.
The four companies left in the small category—1 to 99 employees—include Kansas City-based mobile apps startup OneLouder Apps, Cincinnati-based health and fitness website Sparkpeople.com, Baltimore-based zombie 5K obstacle course Run For Your Lives, and Portland-based outdoor apparel flash-sale site The Clymb. The diversity of the businesses still standing proves that any type—even one that sends zombies out to make you run faster—can have a strong social-media presence.
"They are all solid companies with great reputations," tech and social-media expert Shama Kabani wrote in an email. "Their social strategy is a natural extension of their offline brand."
Kabani has written numerous articles about how companies can increase their social-media presence. In an article she wrote in May for Upstart, Kabani had this advice for startups looking to increase their Facebook likes:
Look at the audience your company actually serves. What do they identify with? It can be a much broader concept than your company. Build a page around their passion—their identity. And keep it relevant to your target market.
Vote for your favorite companies on the Social Madness website.

District 8 is located on the northwest section of the county and includes Fall Branch, Bowmantown, Limestone and a large rural area. It has 9,412 inhabitants.
• Baines, 38, was born in Fall Branch and graduated from Sullivan South High School. He studied business at Northeast State Community College in Blountville.
He worked as a maintenance mechanic for several years at Fluor's Greenville, S.C., headquarters and at their Bristol, Va., location. He left that company to become a co-owner of Depew Guttering in Fall Branch.
"I feel like we need a change — not only on the local level, but at the federal level," he said. "I think people think Washington County ends at 75 (Tenn. Hwy. 75/Bobby Hicks Highway). I want to give people on our side of the county a voice. The people in this section of the county don't see their commissioners much. I'd say 95 percent of people in this district couldn't tell you who their commissioners are or what they look like."
Baines is single and has one child.
He has not run for public office prior to this year.
• Morris, 26, was born in San Diego and graduated from Ragsdale High School in Greensboro, N.C. He graduated from Appalachian State University in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in political science.
He has been in the U.S. Army National Guard for more than seven years and currently serves as an executive officer for an infantry company.
Morris is a sales representative for Johnson City's UniFirst, a uniform and facility services provider. He also is a member of the Leesburg Ruritan Club.
"I believe elected officials are chosen to serve and better the lives of the people who put them there," he said. "I want to bring conservative fiscal values, eliminate taxpayer-funded benefits to commissioners, limit the number of commissioners to 11 and limit the time commissioners can serve to two consecutive terms.
"As a commissioner, I will make fiscally conservative decisions and work with the Budget Committee. I'd love to serve on that committee. I'd like to think outside the box on some of the issues. I want to be a leader. I want every project to have a definite start and completion date."
Morris is married and has never run for public office.
• Light, 65, was born in Sulphur Springs and graduated from Sulphur Springs High School.
He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Tennessee Knoxville in agriculture and taught vocational agriculture at Daniel Boone High School for 17 years. He now owns his own insurance business.
Light is a volunteer with the Sulphur Springs Community Chest. He also serves on the following County Commission committees: Legal Services, CIA and Zoning Oversight.
"I enjoy representing the people very much," he said. "I'm honored to represent the people of Washington County, and I've lived in the Bowmantown community for 43 years. I want to work for all the people, and I think I work very hard. I spend a lot of time in the district trying to take care of the peoples' needs."
Light is married and has two children and five grandchildren. In 2012, he was appointed to serve out Evert Jarrett's term, then was elected later that year.
• Bowman, 58, was born in Washington County and graduated from Daniel Boone High School. He studied for a degree in agriculture at ETSU for two years but decided to work on his family's dairy farm, started by his grandfather.
He worked on the farm for about eight years and then began work at the Johnson City Power Board as a meter reader. He currently is a three-phase meter man with the utility.
"I've been very fortunate to live in Washington County all my life," he said. "I don't do it for gain. I do it for the people in my district and the people of Washington County. I believe it's my duty to serve the people. Washington County is very dear to my heart.
"The last eight years I've served on the Welfare, Safety, Education, CIA and Steering committees. I have good knowledge of what goes on in the county."
Bowman is married and has one child. He was first elected in 2006 and is completing his second term on the County Commission.
• Haren, 70, was born in Sullivan County and graduated from Sulphur Springs High School. He attended East Tennessee State University for three years before enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1966. He retired as a sergeant.
He returned to ETSU and received a bachelor of science degree in geology and geography. After graduating, Haren worked on his family's dairy farm in Washington County, primarily raising cattle. The dairy operation was sold, but the farm remains active, producing a number of commodities.
In 1990, he went to work with the Washington County Zoning Office as its assistant zoning administrator. While there, he issued building permits, performed site inspections and other duties. In 2007, he retired and went back to farming. He currently is the Washington County Farm Bureau Board vice president.
"I've always been interested in county politics, and I go to the meetings all the time," he said. "It's dysfunctional right now. I'm a pretty good listener. I want to get over the deadlock we have now. The agenda is much too long. I also hope they fix it so you can be heard when they're speaking. I'm a big proponent of schools, and I'd like to see more money go to classrooms and teachers."
Haren is married and has two children and two grandchildren.
He was elected to the County Commission in 1998 and served two terms before being defeated in 2006.
• Robbins, 71, was born in Sullivan County and graduated from Sullivan West High School.
He retired in 1998 after working at the Holston Army Ammunitions plant for 34 years. In 1976, he started the Gray Rescue Squad. He also served two years as Tennessee Association Rescue Squad president.
Robbins also served several years as a Washington County Sheriff's Office reserve deputy. He also is a deacon and works with seniors at Double Springs Baptist Church in Jonesborough.
"I think we need a change," he said. "We need to cut back on the number of commissioners to 12 or 13 — 25 is just too many. I'd like to see the county insurance for commissioners eliminated. I'd also like to see them cut back on the number of committees. I think three or four is plenty.
"We need to work together and get along together," he added. "We need to sit down and see what the people want. I'd like to hold a public meeting for that purpose. I'm also against raising taxes, and I support the school system."
Robbins is married and has three children and six grandchildren. He ran unsuccessfully for a District 8 seat in 2010.

Farm Report
In the past few weeks I've continued to put more layers on as I prepare to go out to the barn on these colder days. As we head through the end of fall and go into the winter months don't forget to put in place some extra layers of protection for your calves in order to prevent cold stress. A calf's thermoneutral zone is between 50-68ºF, which means that heat produced by the calf is equal to the amount of heat lost. Below 50ºF the calves need to have extra energy in order to maintain body temperature or else they will use their limited body reserves to meet maintenance requirements. A rule of thumb for energy needs is for every 1º decrease from 50ºF a 1% increase in energy is required. The protein body reserves that a calf will tap into if it isn't given enough energy are not good sources to keep the calf warm or for supplying the calf with the proper immune response. The lower critical temperature (below 50˚F) is influenced by wind, humidity, hair coat (dry vs. wet), sunlight, bedding, rumination, age and size.
The top issues when addressing cold stress in calves are nutrition and housing related. Below are some facts and tips to implement to keep your calves growing and lively this winter.
When calves need additional energy to maintain maintenance requirements, where do they get it from?
1. Higher amounts of milk or milk replacer (MR)
- To get the added volume of milk or MR a third feeding might be needed.
- Warm milk or MR to 105˚F so that the calves do not have to warm it back up to body temperature. When mixing MR according to the directions on the tag for temperature make sure that the MR has time to reach 105ºF by the time it reaches the calf, but not below.
2. Increased fat intake
- Many feed companies have "Winter Blends" which have higher protein and fat concentrations especially for the youngest calves who are only on MR and will need the additional energy for maintenance.
3. Increased starter intake
- The sooner calves start eating starter the faster they will be able to gain excess heat from fermentation. Research done by Nonnecke et al. found that calves that were cold stressed ate more than the calves who were not cold stressed because their maintenance requirements were greater.
- Offer lukewarm water (63-82˚F) 2-3 times daily as this will encourage starter intake.
What can we do to make sure the additional energy we give our dairy calves won't be wasted when it comes to housing management?
1. Bedding: Calves lay down for more than 18 hours a day, so make sure their bedding is deep, clean and dry!
- If the bedding is deep enough the calf's feet should not be able to be seen when they are laying down.
- Bedding materials should be free of soil, mold and pathogens. Chopping or blowing bedding in the calf area can be cause for concern when it comes to respiratory disease.
- When calves are on wet bedding there can be a 60% greater heat loss then if that bedding was dry. There are two ways to check and see if the bedding that is going under your calves is dry or not. A) Koster test a sample of your bedding, if it takes less than 15 minutes for you to get a consecutive reading of similar weights the bedding is dry, if the weight of the bedding continues to drop as it stays on the Koster tester longer the bedding is wet. B) The second option is to kneel in the bedding under the calves if you feel your pants getting damp after 15-20 seconds the bedding is too wet.
- Using adequate straw as bedding can allow calves to nest and create a stable air pocket free from drafts.
2. Ventilation is all about dilution!
- The goal when ventilating a barn is to take the outside air and distribute it evenly throughout and move the polluted air outside.
- Hutches must allow for steady air movement and solar heating while providing protection from winds and drafts.
3. Blankets if dry and clean can help insulate calves below 3 weeks of age.
Overall, there are two main things that should be addressed when preventing cold stress in dairy calves:
1. make sure the calves have adequate nutrition to support their maintenance needs and allows them to grow and
2. Be sure the housing they are in is not increasing their maintenance needs with drafts and wet bedding. Keep your calves growing and healthy! Stay warm!

I came across this lovely creature (see photo) on a wild hillside on the west coast of Tuscany, Italy, one April, at about 100 metres above sea level. It flew like a butterfly, dancing around in pairs with others like it, and was about 4 centimetres across, but it doesn't seem like any butterfly I've seen, nor is it in any of my insect books. It is very beautiful, what is it?

The best flare tool on the market for the money This is the best break line flare tool I have ever used. The way the Clamp is cut to lock onto the rail when your pressing the die into the line is the best feture ever. It makes it so it dosnt ever twist to the side and screw up the flare. The only complant I have is that the cutters finish has come off and the wheel has chipped, but then again I have flared about 500 lines sence I have got this kit. So buy two one for ur box and one to rent out when all ur buddy's see how great it works December 18, 2011
Great working tool This tool performed great. I did not want to spend $200 dollars plus for the fancy tool but did not want a cheap tool that might or might not work. This tool fit the bill nicely. Made great flares after some practice. There are a couple YouTube videos out there that go into detail plus offer some great tips to help get great results. January 19, 2014
HOPEFULLY BETTER THAN THE OTHER SETS Am in the middle of replacing multiple brake lines on a rusted out Chevy P-U, using a cheaper double flaring kit--you know--the ones that cost 25 to 50 bucks? Finally I've had to admit that even when you cut the tubing squarely & install a perfectly straight length of tubing in the"rail" clamp, you still get an off center initial flare, as described by the above reviewer. I can't describe the feeling in the pit of your stomach when you painstakingly run & flare multiple lines as carefully as possible, only to have multiple hydraulic leaks, just when you THINK you're finished! The slotted design of the "C" clamp on this Matco kit seems like it would sit more squarely on the "rail" clamp, therefore more accurately centering the flare around the tubing's hole--the all important factor in sealing off possibly 1000 PSI of hydraulic pressure! Just bought this kit yesterday; will respond back later w/results. October 26, 2013
Great Buy I have been working as a mech for 4 years now and have tried several different double flare tools ... anything from autozone brand to bluepoint this is by far the best. The locking jaws on the clamp are great, very easy to make a perfect flare every time. The only quality issue i had was some bubbles in the chrome.... nothing serious. July 15, 2013

Pumphouse Mural Getting Close
The unveiling of a three-dimensional mural at La Crosse's Pump House is still
about four months away...
But while artist John Pugh works on that project at his studio in California, apprentices from La Crosse will continue to work with him. And as those helpers learn Pugh's technique, Don Smith from the La Crosse Arts Board says they'll be able to pass those skills along to local artists:
An apprentice chosen from the community is expected to spend six weeks training with Pugh. Installation of the mural on the Pump House wall could begin sometime in April.

Based on a 2,000 calorie diet
These are definitely not "snaps", they are quite soft and cake-like. However, that's just the way I like them! I doubled the ginger and they had a delicious spice. Great recipe.
well i was hoping for a crispy cookie, but these were really soft...and tasted more like gingerbread than gingersnaps
I made these for a school party and they were a hit! Everyone just loved them.

The pediatric and adolescent gynecology practice offers a comprehensive program for the evaluation, specialized treatment and follow-up care of gynecologic problems in infants, children, young adolescents and teenage girls. What Patients Should Expect
Gynecologic Treatment CenterCenter for Advanced Medicine4921 Parkview Place, Suite13-CSt. Louis, MO 63110
West County OfficeMissouri Baptist Medical CenterAdolescent and Pediatric Center3023 N Ballas Road, Building D, Suite 450St. Louis, MO 63131
Making an appointment for your daughter with a specialist in pediatric and adolescent gynecology will ensure that her special needs are met. Refer to What Patients Should Expect, for details regarding examinations for infants, children and adolescents.
AdolescentsFor adolescents, the first gynecologic examination provides a golden opportunity to educate young patients about the breast and pelvic exam, to answer questions about development, and to provide medical reassurances and information about issues of health and sexuality. This pediatric and adolescent gynecology service provides abstinence counseling, as well as contraceptive counseling and pregnancy prevention strategies. Adolescents especially may benefit from counseling about the risks of sexual activity and the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.
While the practice is focused on preventing unwanted teen pregnancies, it also recognizes the special needs of pregnant teens. The Teen Pregnancy Clinic was established by the division in February 1999 to provide obstetrical services, health education and counseling to pregnant adolescents up to the age of 17 or if still enrolled in high school.
Chronic Illness / DisabilitiesThese physicians work closely with referring doctors and other specialists at St. Louis Children's Hospital to address the special gynecologic needs of children and teens with physical or mental disabilities, as well as those with chronic underlying health problems. The office at St. Louis Children's Hospital Pediatric Center at Missouri Baptist Medical Center is specially equipped to allow easy access for patients with physical disabilities.
Physicians Who TreatTwo board-certified full-time faculty physicians provide patient care. Both have advanced training in the subspecialty practice of pediatric and adolescent gynecology. They are skilled in the medical evaluation and surgical management and correction of gynecologic disorders in pediatric and adolescent patients.Included in the testing/surgical services they offer are:
The pediatric and adolescent gynecology specialists work in close coordination with referring physicians, as well as with the pediatric specialty groups at St. Louis Children's Hospital.
Educational resources are available for patients and their families. A special effort also is made by all physicians and staff to explain tests, treatments and procedures. Patients and their families are encouraged to ask questions.

13 Quick Tips to Write a Successful Post
Whoever said that writing content for the Web is easy was lying. Don't have any misconceptions about it – writing takes a lot of effort and is an art that needs to be learnt. You may speak and read the language well; but when it comes to expressing your thoughts in a compelling, interesting manner, you may find that it's easier said than done.
With the advent of Social Media and Web 2.0, especially with the arrival of its most popular exponent – the mighty blog – we all have taken to writing, although to varying extents. Some of us write regularly, some of us sparsely and a few others choose to stay away from it entirely.
The fact is, whether you like it or not, if you have to survive in the fiercely competitive, content-driven medium that is the Internet, you need to master a few basic skills of writing.
You don't need to train to be a master blogger or a professional wordsmith. Just somebody who can write well in a coherent, interesting manner that draws wide readership.

What a night!
"Nights like tonight, I'm not sure my wife is in there," Sean said.
Me either, Sean! On tonight, part one of "The Bachelor's" special two-day event, Tierra and the drama surrounding her reigned supreme.
We head to Montana, for what hailed to be an awesome day for Sean and the remaining 11 ladies vying for a ring. Three dates tonight, a group date, a one-on-one and the infamous two-on-one.
As all of the ladies prepare to rough it outdoors, the first date card arrives. First up the one-on-one date and Lindsey is our lucky lady.
Sean and Lindsey board a helicopter and take off for their intimate, one-on-one time together. They arrive at Glacier National Park, take in the sights and sounds and end the date by a cozy fireplace where Lindsey gets the opportunity to allow Sean to get to know her a little better.
She tells him about being raised as an army brat, moving a lot, with no stability, about how her dad was always away and how she yearns for the security of her own family. We see Sean light up, declare that he is certain that Lindsey would make an "incredible" wife and Lindsey scores a rose.
Sean got a lot closer to Lindsey tonight. The date ended with the two of them dancing on their very own private stage in the center of a crowded Sarah Darling concert as if they were the only two on the planet, securing Lindsey's slot on the show. Good job Lindsey -- you've done well.
Date Card. Group dates, invited are: Selma, Ashlee, Des, Catherine, Sarah, Leslie, Robin and Daniella. The group date was a combination of "Survivor" and "Fear Factor." The ladies are split into two teams, the read team: Selma, Des, Sara and Robin and the Blue Team: Leslie, Ashlee, Daniella and Catherine.
Each team has to canoe across a river, carry bales of hay, cross cut a log and finally milk a goat and drink the milk. These ladies were willing to do anything to score some extra up close and personal time with our bachelor.
The winning team would have an extended evening with Sean and the losing team would immediately be sent back to the lodge. Red Team wins, Blue Team back in the van headed back to the lodge ... with very sad faces.
The sad faces didn't fly well with our sweet, compassionate little bachelor, so he bent the rules. Sean sent for the losing Blue Team to return and join the winning ladies of the Red Team for the remainder of the evening. Well that didn't go over so well with the winners, especially the one who downed a mason jar of warm goat's milk to be there.
Sorry, ladies, he's the Bachelor and he makes and breaks the rules as he sees fit. Besides, Sean is a super nice guy and super nice guys don't part easily with a van full of hot chicks with sad faces.
The Blue Team returns, thrilled.
Sarah gets the first opportunity to spend some alone time with Sean. They hit it off as usual, very proud to see ole Sarah hanging in there with the other ladies and giving them a good run for their money with Sean's attention and affection.
Meanwhile, since the one-on-one date has been established and we're currently on the group date, this means that the two-on-one date will be our resident crazy chick Tierra and Jackie. Tierra and Jackie are back at the lodge, while the others are off enjoying splitting Sean in many pieces and trying desperately to be picked for alone time.
Well we thought Tierra and Jackie were back at the lodge. Resident crazy has crashed the party. Enter Tierra (did she walk there?). How'd she know where the group date was being held? What, does Sean need a doctor's note confirming that "one flew over the cuckoo's nest?"
Tierra, in true Tierra fashion, turns on the tears, tells Sean AGAIN that she can't stand sharing her "boyfriend" with the other ladies, She had to see him, be with him, blah, blah, blah. Is it me or does anyone else recognize the early signs of a defendant in a court case for a restraining order? Can you say STALKER?
Tierra exits stage left, the group date continues with oh boy, the ladies just pissing Sean off. Each of them so passive aggressively tells Sean that Tierra may not be here for the right reasons. Tierra is one way with us and another way with you. Tierra's not nice. Tierra isn't social in the house; one even went as far to tell Sean that Tierra flirted with a dude at the airport.
Ladies are we telling Sean things that we believe he should know or are we simply trying to get rid of crazy pants because she's your stiffest competition playing the game better than you? I think the latter.

Yep, I actually have a BFA In Illustration from Parsons School of Design in NYC. When I went I did not touch a computer, still did everything by hand, such as those drawings.
You seriously drew those? Would you consider to make a design for my next one?
