The Bourn Identity - Going the extra mile
Getting off work and stepping out into the night only to be greeted by a harsh and chilling gust of wind, I was tired and ready to go home after another busy shift last night. After a bone-chilling trek across the parking lot, I finally found myself in my car and sheltered from the gale. All seemed like a typical February night in Northeast Ohio. Just as the gearshift is put into drive, the sudden vibrations of my phone temporarily delay departure alerting me of breaking baseball news via Twitter that would ultimately take several minutes for me to fully comprehend.
The breaking news was that outfielder Michael Bourn and the Indians had come to terms on a four year $48 million deal with a vesting option for a fifth season. Talk about a shocker. The Indians have already surpassed all expectations with the moves they've made this offseason, but this acquisition takes it to a whole new level and I'd like to take some time and expound on the true significance of the deal.
With spring training now upon us and the Tribe seemingly cooling off on the major free agent/trade market, many fans (myself included) anticipated nothing more than a handful of additional minor league deals similar to the ones they inked with Jason Giambi and Daisuke Matsuzaka over the past few days. Well, apparently general manager Chris Antonetti and skipper Terry Francona had other plans in mind.
Only a matter of several days ago, rumors began surfacing linking the Indians to Bourn who was still unsigned. Considering the factors in place such as the supposed limits of the Indians' 2013 payroll and their relative inactivity on the major free agent market following the Brett Myers signing, I chose to dismiss the reports as nothing more than late-offseason gossip. My reasoning being that the New York Mets were already in discussions with Bourn on a multi-year deal, something I didn't think the Tribe would be offering again this offseason, as well as the fact that Bourn was a client of the renowned Scott Boras. However, baseball has once again proven that it cannot be tamed by any form of logic or calculations. Bourn is now a member of the Cleveland Indians for at least the next four seasons.
Bourn now becomes the first pure leadoff hitter since the days of legendary center fielder Kenny Lofton. He offers the Tribe an offensive boost as well as the ability to zip around the base paths. In the 2012 season with the Braves, Bourn hit .274 with a career-high nine home runs and 57 RBI. Additionally, Bourn swiped a total of 42 bases last season and has been able to steal as many as 61 in a single season. The Indians' leader in stolen bases last season was second baseman Jason Kipnis with 31. Bourn also offers superb defense in the outfield as a two-time Gold Glove winner. With outfielders Michael Brantley, Drew Stubbs, and Nick Swisher already established with the Tribe, many baseballs are going to be left with only memories of the dirt and grass of the outfield at Progressive Field.
This signing has not only made me all the more excited for the upcoming season, it has also raised a bunch of questions as to why the Indians have gone from a fourth place cellar dweller to major shoppers in one offseason. By all accounts, many had the Indians selling rather than buying at the end of last season. Could it be the influx of cash generated by the Dolans' sale of SportsTime Ohio to Fox Sports? What about the commanding influence and credibility of Terry Francona? Could Chris Perez's comments really have had more of an impact than we thought? My best explanation is all of the above and then some. In addition to the scenarios listed above, things just simply seem to be falling into place for the Tribe.
Even though the accomplishments of this offseason were a product of many contributing factors, I believe it's safe to say that none of them would have been remotely possible without the presence of Terry Francona. Despite leaving the Red Sox on a low note and spending a year as an ESPN analyst, it's perfectly clear that the two-time World Series champion still commands an immense amount of respect throughout the baseball community.
From day one, Francona has done everything in his power to reach out to players both on the Indians' roster and otherwise. Just about every free agent who has signed with Cleveland this offseason from Nick Swisher to Scott Kazmir has been impressed with and drawn to Francona. In fact, many of the Tribe's acquisitions this offseason have had previous connections with the manager in some shape or form. Utility infielder Mike Aviles, starting pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka, and relief pitchers Matt Albers and Rich Hill have all played under Francona in Boston. Take a look at the Indians roster and try to find players without a Francona connection. Kevin Bacon doesn't have anything on Tito.
The Indians have also benefited from Major League Baseball's new collective bargaining agreement, which protects a team with a top ten draft pick allowing them to keep their first round pick when they sign a player such as Bourn who has been given a qualifying offer by their previous team. The Indians have the fifth pick in the upcoming draft and obviously are protected from losing it under the new CBA. Since the Tribe lost their second round pick to the Yankees when they signed Swisher, they only have to forfeit the competitive balance draft pick they picked up late last summer between the second and third rounds. Using the benefits of the CBA to their advantage has been something the Indians have done well this offseason.
Heck, even the minor league signings this offseason have vastly improved over recent seasons. The cream of last year's crop of non-roster invitees included the likes of Fred Lewis, Jose Lopez, and Robinson Tejada. Their 2013 counterparts, however, include Ben Francisco, Ryan Raburn, and Matt Capps among several other solid minor league deals. Last season, the cash-strapped Indians brought in numerous players on minor league contracts with hopes that a handful of them would make the starting roster. Going into spring training this year, however, the Indians will be evaluating their non-roster invitees based on who CAN make the team rather than who HAS to make the team. The newfound flexibility with the roster will be a huge benefit to the team.
With this roster flexibility, one has to wonder if a trade could be in the works. After all, despite all the improvements made this offseason, the starting rotation still contains some question marks and I wouldn't be opposed to additional reinforcements. Some national baseball pundits have already speculated center fielder Drew Stubbs will now go on the trade block with Bourn in the fold.
The New York Mets could be interested in a deal since they, too, were in on Bourn; however, keeping Stubbs could also be in the Tribe's best interest given his three years of team control and invaluable defense in the outfield. He could serve as an everyday player or a strong utility outfielder depending on which direction the team goes with the roster. That's not bad considering he might be poised for a rebound season after getting away from the pressures in Cincinnati where expectations for him were much higher as a high profile prospect. With the surplus of relief pitchers and other now-available assets following the Bourn signing, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see a trade for starting pitching.
What the Bourn signing and all the other deals made this offseason say to me is that the Indians want to win and want to win now. And they've shown it in one of the most shrewd and productive ways possible. Unlike the 2012 Miami Marlins, who basically sold their soul for a diamond-studded roster, the Indians have been very careful to protect their most valuable assets both present and future while still filling the various holes and needs on the team.
They are built for now and for the future. As far as I can see, we won't have to endure the extensive rebuilding period we all anticipated at the end of 2012. Tribe fans can replace those paper bags they had put over their heads at the tail end of last season and throw their Chief Wahoo ball caps back on and wear them with pride.

Then there are the runs he and the OF will save this year. The pitching staff is going to get a lot more help from the defense.
Been a while since I have been this excited in February.
The only quibble I'd have with this latest move, is, I feel like it's the wrong guy to get. While Bourn should be a large upgrade over Stubbs this year, long-term, having Bourn and Brantley doesn't make a lot of sense. I'd have rather seen them pick use that $ to pick up Lohse, leave the outfield as is and then sign someone like Kubel as a free agent next year. If Bourn was available right now for this price and Lohse was not, better to get him then get neither though. They can always trade Brantley, or Bourn, as long as he doesn't go all Chone Figgins on them.
Some folks said they don't have the financial resources for free agents, obviously they do if they take a different view of what our team can be.
Personally, Id love to see the Tribe hold on to Stubbs, he ands versatility and depth to the OF.
What an offseason. Good job by the FO getting this done and Dolan paying the man to get him here.

Teenage brothers molest seven-year-old neighbour
The two accused, students of Std VIII and VII, locked the girl in their Vile Parle home, and were allegedly trying to rape her, when the victim's parents and other locals arrived
While it may be premature to say that sex crimes by juveniles are spiralling out of control, government data indicates there is indeed cause for concern. In the latest episode, two kids from Vile Parle locked their seven-year-old neighbour in their home, and allegedly tried to rape her.
The girl's parents and other locals reached the accused's residence in the nick of time, and rescued her, after finding her missing. Cops were called and they took the boys into custody.
"There was tension in the area after the incident. The accused are 15 and 13 – Std VIII and VII students. They have been charged under section 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) of IPC, and two sections of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, where bail is not granted. They were produced at the holiday court in Bandra and were sent to Dongri children's remand home," said assistant commissioner of police (ACP) Zunjarrao Gharal of Vile Parle division.
The incident occurred late on Saturday evening when the girl was playing near her house. She was, in fact, a regular visitor at the brothers' house. She entered their place when the accused were alone, watching television.
The teens allegedly removed her clothes and were trying to force themselves upon her when the girl's parents and neighbours arrived. One of the kids from the area had directed them to this dwelling. They started banging on the door, but the accused refused to open up. In the meantime, one of the locals had called the police, and they too reached the spot. They cracked the door and took the brothers into custody. The girl was handed over to her parents.
The victim was in shock, and inconsolable, while giving her statement to the police. However, following some counselling, she was able to provide all the information.
Worrying trend
National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) statistics suggest the number of rapes committed by juveniles has more than doubled over the past decade – from 485 in 2002 to 1,149 in 2011. The report, Crime in India 2011, shows that the number of juveniles apprehended for rape, kidnapping women and molestation was 2,505 as against 2,056 held for murder, culpable homicide not amounting to murder and attempt to murder put together.

Crystal Palace caretaker manager Keith Millen has admitted that he is shocked by the departure of Tony Pulis.
Millen will take charge of the Eagles for their opening Premier League fixture at Arsenal, after Pulis left Selhurst Park on Thursday, less than 48 hours before the start of the new season.
And the 47-year-old also told Sky Sports News that although Pulis will be a "tough act to follow".
"I am shocked at the moment, I must admit," said Millen. "I had a phone call from the chairman last night and a brief conversation.
"We were frustrated because we didn't get the players in we wanted but we've had a good pre-season with the players and we are looking forward to the game tomorrow.
"It's been a big shock to me and I am sure it will be to the players. It's going to be a tough act to follow for someone but it's early days and we just have to get our heads round it."
READ Ed Malyon on the end of Crystal Palace's doomed marriage of convenience
Millen led Palace to a 2-0 defeat against Saturday's opponents last season, in the first game after Ian Holloway's resignation.
Palace performed well that day, and Millen is in positive mood ahead of the trip to the Emirates Stadium.
"We always knew it was going to be a tough game going to Arsenal first game of the season but it is one we are looking forward to," added Millen.
"I need to remind them what a good pre-season we have had and get them looking forward to the game again.
"We are not going to change. We are ready, prepared for the game and I have just got to try to settle them down and get them ready."

net.wars: Dumber people can run Linux
by Wendy M Grossman | posted on 14 October 2005
For a couple of years now I've had the idea that I should migrate my mail server to Linux.
The mail server is Communigate, and it's running on Windows 2000. It's ultra-stable, that's not the problem. Truly. It never goes wrong except when I'm out of town. No, the reason to change is that there are some spam-filtering things called Razor and Pyzor that I could add to my installation of SpamAssassin but which don't run on Windows. Or so the documentation I have here says.
So a couple of weeks ago I acquired an old Thinkpad and took a poll among my friends as to which GNU/Linux-type operating system I should put on it. It didn't necessarily, I said, have to be the easiest to install since I really only intended to install it once; it did need to be reliable. Fedora Core, said a couple. FreeBSD, said a couple of others. Solaris, said one. Ask a question like this in a room full of geeks, and you can get them all arguing among themselves. Fun!
So I decided to be difficult and download Ubuntu instead (because the friend I consulted by email suggested it and then it turned out that all those geeks who recommended other things said, "Oh, yeah, I have one running that. I like it...").
Of course, unless I download and install, one by one, every Linux variant I'll never know which one is "best", but friends, if there's a Linux I would hand a novice to install, this is it. Yes, the text messages that scroll by at length are a little intimidating. But so what? When it comes to a point where it has to ask you something, it does so in plain English and tells you why it wants to know. After all these decades of obscure error messages and cryptic questions, here's an operating system that says something like, "From your choice of language, we guess you're in one of these countries. Which is it?" I would have kissed it, except that it isn't tangible, plus you look really silly kissing a Thinkpad that won't even turn into a talking frog.
Here's the other thing: it worked. It said, "Choose a user name and a password." It logged me in. And there was an entire computer, ready to go. It connected to the Internet. Firefox went places. Email downloaded. OpenOffice…officed. I mean, call that open source? Where's the anguish and pain? Where's the six weeks of downloading drivers and learning how to compile source code? A shocking lapse of standards, I call it. If Linux can be run by people as dumb as the people who can run Windows, it's the end of civilisation as we know it. Don't these people understand that writers need things to complain about if we're to be able to make a living?
To be fair, if this were a travelling laptop instead of a prospective mail server, there almost certainly would be more misery involved. For one thing, in its present job the Thinkpad doesn't have to care whether its PCMCIA slots are functional (the device manager says they are, but that's not the same as getting a specific card to work). It didn't care to read the compact flash card I tried, and because its wired ethernet worked I didn't have a lot of incentive to find a wireless card to fight with. Although I see there are some available for my SMC.
It was a little more complicated getting it to talk to the other Windows machines around here. The interface is of course pretty and graphical, but you do feel a bit like you've landed in Denmark or somewhere, so that although the elements of daily life are recognizable the names are all foreign. As in, "Hey! We're not in CTRL-ALT-DEL any more!" Once you know that you invoke a thing called Samba to connect to Windows machines it's easy enough to search for instructions. The difficulty is bootstrapping that first word. So that took a second try. Second. Not third.
Then you have to admire the Synaptic package manager. Now, I realise this isn't just an Ubuntu thing, but it's still an impressively well organised way of finding, installing, and keeping up to date the software you want to use. On balance, it's astonishing Microsoft hasn't built something like that into Windows so that you could click, type in a credit card, and have software arrive. Or it would be if it weren't for the antitrust suit that would inevitably follow the company's creating such a thing. Sure, it could open such a system to third parties, but in practice that is never going to happen in the commercial world. Microsoft might decide it was good business to take a sliver of millions of software purchases it currently has no share of; that part is obvious. But third parties would have to balance the increased ease of acquiring customers and sales against having to share that part of their customer database with the Borg. Not gonna happen.
So: so far, so good. Mailserver migration is next, so more excitements doubtless to follow. But if these people keep it up, next thing you know you won't even have to stuff your own penguin.

2012-13 Executive Budget Proposal Information
Governor Andrew Cuomo has just unveiled his new Executive Budget Proposal -- marking the beginning of the State Budget negotiation and adoption process for the 2012-2013 Fiscal Year.
Last year, the Senate passed an on-time budget that achieved our critically important goals of controlling spending, avoiding tax increases and helping to create new private sector jobs. As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Economic Development and Small Business, I worked closely with Governor Cuomo and Lt. Gov. Duffy to put forth many proposals included in the final budget negotiations – most noticeably the creation of the Regional Economic Development Councils that have distributed nearly $1 billion in money for economic revitalization and job growth in New York State. This year, we will look to build upon this progress by passing an on-time, fiscally responsible budget that keeps our State moving in the right direction.
I encourage you to visit this section of my website on a regular basis to learn more about the Governor's new budget proposal, and to stay up-to-date on new developments as the budget review and approval process moves forward.

The cause of the crash of EgyptAir Flight 804 remains largely unknown. No jihadist group has taken credit for the crash – something they're usually happy to do within hours of a tragedy making news.
According to The Telegraph; Data from the final moments before EgyptAir flight MS804 crashed into the Mediterranean suggest an "internal explosion" tore through the right side of the aircraft, a pilot said last night. French authorities confirmed that smoke detectors went off aboard the flight a few minutes before it crashed but said it was not clear what caused the smoke or fire.
The question is thus whether or not the explosion was intentional. Considering no terrorist group has taken credit for the attack, there's a strong possibility it's a lone wolf attack (if terrorism is the cause). What's eerie is that the airline has been threatened with an attack in the past.
As MSN reports: In an eerie premonition, the EgyptAir jetliner that plunged into the Mediterranean on Thursday was once the target of political vandals who wrote in Arabic on its underside, "We will bring this plane down."
Three EgyptAir security officials said the threatening graffiti, which appeared about two years ago, had been the work of aviation workers at Cairo Airport. Playing on the phonetic similarity between the last two letters in the plane's registration, SU-GCC, and the surname of Egypt's president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, some workers also wrote "traitor" and "murderer."
The officials, who were interviewed separately and who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the airline's security procedures because they were not authorized to speak publicly, said the graffiti had been linked to the domestic Egyptian political situation at the time rather than to a militant threat. Similar graffiti against Mr. Sisi, a former general, was scrawled across Cairo after the military ousted the elected president, Mohamed Morsi, in 2013.
While that graffiti is likely unrelated to the recent crash, Nonetheless, EgyptAir has fired a number of employees, mostly members of the ground staff, who were presumed to be sympathizers of the Muslim Brotherhood, security officials said. Similar purges took place in other companies in Egypt at the time.
One of the great mysteries in the flight's crash is why there was no Mayday distress call from the pilots. That fact alone should raise some red flags. While we're still waiting for an official verdict, thus far, the question in my opinion isn't over whether or not terrorism was the cause, it's what the terrorist's motivation was.

Government-to-Government Negotiations 2014 - 2017
On April 2, 2015 the Carrier Sekani First Nations (CSFN) came to agreement with British Columbia on two groundbreaking Agreements, the Collaboration Agreement (CA) and the Environmental and Socio Cultural Initiatives Agreement (ESCIA). These two agreements detail the relationship we are building to:
[D]evelop a new relationship to facilitate economic opportunities for CSFNs, shared decision making, planning, as well as environmental and cultural stewardship in relation to natural resource development in CSFN Territories. (Collaboration Agreement, 2015: 1)
And the CSFN and BC:
[E]xpressed their shared vision to develop a government-to-government relationship based on respect, recognition, accommodation of Aboriginal title and rights, and reconciliation of Aboriginal and Crown titles and jurisdictions in the Territories, as well as the achievement of strong governments, social justice, and self-sufficiency for the CSFNs. (Collaboration Agreement, 2015: 1)
This page is designed to provide information to our Nation members, industry, and other interested parties on the Agreements' goals, status, and progress in implementation. We will also be providing updates on the Agreements here.

- Agreements & Timeline Sheet http://www.carriersekani.ca/images/docs/Relationships__Progression.pdf
Introduction to the Agreements
The Agreement Basics
1) three working groups
2) leadership table
3) funding for three years
4) initiatives funding for education, language, and skills
5) opportunity to address infrastructure needs
6) regional collaboration with BC to assess current environmental status (Environmental Stewardship Initiative [ESI])
7) working closely with Provincial Ministers on socio-cultural and environmental issues within the CSFN territories
8) addressing natural gas pipeline concerns as well as other regional developments like mining, forestry, and renewable resources.
In 2011 the Carrier Sekani First Nations ("CSFN") were approached by three separate companies proposing to develop four natural gas pipelines through our territory.
- Coastal GasLink Pipeline project (CGLP) - TransCanada
- Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project (PRGT) - TransCanada
- Westcoast Connector Gas Transmission project (WCC/Spectra) – Spectra
- Pacific Northern Gas Project (PNG) - Alta Gas
These proposed projects brought together the seven CSFN like never before as we recognized the adverse effects these projects would have on CSTC lands, animals, and water if they all were developed.
Our lands are already being over developed and we are feeling the effects of this. Our animals are declining; we are losing our forests, our water, and our plants. We have a responsibility to take care of our lands for our culture, our youth, and our future.
With these goals in mind the seven CSFN – Burns Lake Band, Nadleh Whut'en, Nak'azdli Band, Saik'uz First Nation, Takla Lake First Nation, Tl'azt'en Nation, and Stellat'en First Nation – worked together to reach agreement with BC to ensure that a process was put in place to allow for us to work with BC and industry to address our concerns for our environment, culture, and people.
In late 2013 negotiations started with BC and TransCanada in attempt to address the concerns raised by the CSNF. These negotiations were approached as a government –to-government ("G2G") process and extended beyond the concerns of the natural gas projects and impacts. Negotiations with BC were irregular at this point but several temporary agreements were signed that provided funding for negotiations to continue, and also identified key points for negotiation.
These negotiations were focused primarily on natural gas but the Nations wanted more. Throughout late 2013 and 2014 BC and the CSFN negotiators met trying to come to agreement.
Everything changed on June 26, 2014 when the Tsilhqot'in Supreme Court Decision was released. The decision stated clearly that First Nations title to the land was recognized and consent was required before Major Projects could be started.
The CSFN continued to engage with the Environmental Assessment Office ("EAO") as they reviewed the natural gas pipeline applications. The nations provided feedback and comments regarding the projects and they raised their concerns with the EAO. Despite our concerns the EAO approved the applications of the three pipelines (CGLP; PRGT; and WCC) and on October 23, 2014 these companies received their Environmental Assessment Certificates. The EAO concluded there would be "no significant environmental or socio-economic effects" on First Nations as a result of these pipelines.
The CSFN did not agree with the EAO's decision and the seven Chiefs met to determine their next steps. Based on their best efforts to engage with the EAO in the environmental assessment and with the affirmation of aboriginal rights through the Tsilhqot'in Decision the nations met and determined how they would proceed.
In late November 2015 Nak'azdli Whut'en and Nadleh Whut'en notified BC that they intended to file a request for a judicial review ("JR"); this advanced notification allowed BC an opportunity to address the identified issues before moving to a court action. BC and TransCanada did not address these issues to Nak'azdli's or Nadleh's satisfaction and the JR was formally filed on December 18, 2014.
Upon filing of the JR, BC and TransCanada request an abeyance (time extension) so they can prepare for the review. The CSFN granted the indulgence and prioritized their negotiations with BC, then TransCanada and then the Oil and Gas Commission ("OGC") [although the OGC ended up being part of the BC negotiations process later].
When the abeyance was granted in early January negotiations were re-initiated with BC. Between late January 2015 and April 2, 2015 the Chiefs, the CSTC and BC met regularly to address the CSFNs concerns regarding inadequate consultation and accommodation of aboriginal rights that would occur through the construction of the proposed pipelines.
On April 2, 2015 the Chiefs and BC reached agreement and signed the Collaboration Agreement ("CA") and the Environmental and Socio Cultural Initiatives Agreement ("ESCIA"). These agreements were provided the best opportunity possible for the Chiefs and the nations to work closely with BC to make decisions about their lands and to be a part of the decision making process.
The CSFNs as a result of these agreements are moving towards the creation of a Carrier Sekani Government.

Shaft couplings: Types and applications
Shaft couplings are devices that connect two rotating shafts together. They efficiently transfer motion and power from one shaft to the other without adversely impacting either piece of rotating equipment. They should transfer constant and peak torques, be easily removed and replaced, and allow for separation of the coupled equipment. Although shaft couplings come in many shapes and configurations, they basically fall into one of two major categories: rigid (or solid) and flexible couplings.

Greece to Try Terror Suspects in March
Published 7:00 pm, Monday, January 6, 2003
Eighteen alleged members of November 17, the Greek terrorist group blamed in the murders of four American officials, will go on trial March 3, judicial authorities announced Tuesday.
The case will be heard by three judges but no jury in accordance with an anti-terrorism law introduced in 2001. The trial will held in the Korydallos maximum security prison in Athens where the 17 of the suspects _ 16 men and one woman _ are detained. One male suspect is out on bail.
Nearly all are charged with multiple counts of murder, attempted murder, bombings and bank robberies. They eluded police for decades but were eventually exposed by a bungled bomb attack in June.
November 17 is blamed for the 1975 killing of CIA station chief Richard Welch _ the slaying that first brought attention to the group.
After the Welch slaying, November 17 went on to claim 22 more victims, including three other Americans. It last struck in June 2000 with the killing of British defense attache Brig. Stephen Saunders.
The trial is expected to last more than three months, as testimony will be heard from more than 300 witnesses. Visual and audio recording of the proceedings has been banned, but journalists will be allowed to attend.
Three judges and three reserves will be drawn by lot from a pool of 30 senior appellate court judges.
The trial will be held in the female wing of Korydallos prison at a site where other major cases have been held in the past. They include the trial of the leaders of the 1967-74 military dictatorship.
November 17 is named after the anniversary of a bloody 1973 revolt led by students that helped topple a seven-year dictatorship the following year.

Review date: 2009-Jun-25
June 25, 2009
I recently received messages from several customers that indicated they could not find ZWCAD's Virtual EPS Plotter v1.0 in the Plotter/Printer name list of the Plot dialog box. (EPS is short for "encapsulated PostScript.") If you have the same problem, the solution below can help.
If your computer uses Windows XP, try the following method:
1. Log on to Windows as an Administrator, and then restart ZWCAD.
2. With the Plot command, open the Plot dialog. You should see the ZWCAD Virtual EPS Plotter 1.0 in the Plotter/Printer name list.
3. Without closing ZWCAD, switch back to the user account you usually use. From the Start button, choose Log Off and then Switch User.
If your computer uses Windows Vista, follow the steps below:
1. Start ZWCAD by right-clicking its shortcut icon on the desktop, and selecting Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu.
2. Open the Plot dialog. You should see the ZWCAD Virtual EPS Plotter 1.0 in the Plotter/Printer name list.
At this point, you can keep on working with ZWCAD, and the ZWCAD Virtual EPS Plotter 1.0 will be always in the list; you do not need to repeat the steps listed above.
Please note that the step of opening the Plot dialog (executing the Plot command) is not merely to check whether the ZWCAD Virtual EPS Plotter 1.0 is there, but is an important step to ensure this solution works.
(The ZWCAD Virtual EPS Plotter 1.0 is loaded when the Plot command is executed, but the loading process sometimes fails when the privileges of Administrator are not present. For this reason, both cases above -- for Windows XP and Vista -- require you to run ZWCAD logged in as Administrator, and then opening the Plot dialog to load the ZWCAD Virtual EPS Plotter 1.0 before it is available for non-Administrator user accounts.)

Nineplus Marmadillo 6'.6"
Marmadillo - 6'6 x 20 2/8 x 2 1/4 - Resin Tint purple.
Spedizione gratuita in Italia.
The Marmadillo is a classic 70's shortboard template and to mirror the style of the decade that inspired them they're all finished in a high gloss with a two tone acid wash tint.
Coupled with a white resin pinline and ranging from 6'0 to 6'8 if the finish doesn't get you the smooth template will. With it's down turned "beak" nose it's clear to see where the Marmadillo gets its name from.
Admired amongst all surfers, single fin shortboards are famed for the clean lines they draw. We have kept the concaves and subtle vee that made it such a memorable ride and added sidebites to give it a whole new lease of life.
What was already a fast and responsive board now has even more drive, especially through turns. The extra hold from the sidebites provides an element of confidence, ideal when surfing less than perfect waves. A real 70's dream with the benefits of 40 years fine tuning.
- Fin Choice: Marmadillo Fin 9"

DIY Wire Baskets {get the look for less!}{26}
I have a favorite number.
If there were going to be a pop quiz about how well you know me? That would definitely be one of the questions.
What is Breida's favorite number?
(don't worry, it's not really a quiz)
I also LOVE vintage locker baskets. (that would also be on the quiz) LOVE THEM. This whole "vintage industrial" trend that seems to be going on right now, is really right up my alley. As you know, I have a soft place for anything that I find both useful and beautiful and so much of this industrial "junk" appeals to my aesthetic taste and a lot of it can be put to good use as well. Locker baskets are a perfect example. They are, however, just a little too pricey for me. . .
I was just telling Mr. Social Media the other day that I am on the hunt for locker baskets – but not just any hunt. They are not at all hard to find – there are tons of them on eBay. But they're too expensive. . . for me. Generally they are around $25. That's retail. If you see one online or at an antique store/flea market you can be sure that the person selling them paid far less than that. SO. I'm holding out for a wholesale price. I'd love to buy about 30 of them – but not at $25 each!!
So – I am just being patient. . .
There is one exception though… You know those locker baskets have numbers on them, right? Well. If I were to come across one that had the number 518 on it?? There is no telling what would happen. . .
In the meantime, I was just thrilled when I opened my latest issue of Cottages and Bungalows Magazine and saw an article about how to DIY wire baskets! Amy from fourcornerdesign.blogspot.com has put together a great tutorial – very easy to follow. This is one of those projects that I absolutely LOVE. Easy, tools I already own, low cost, and very forgiving. I actually made a couple of mistakes on my first try (okay – I messed up on the second one, too) and the final product was still totally acceptable!
Here are some photos of how they came out – tell me what you think!
I'll show you a little bit of how it came together. If you'd like to make one of your own you can see the full tutorial in the April issue of Cottages and Bungalows magazine.
Like I said, I had all of the tools I needed. Wire cutters and needle nose pliers. I bought "hardware cloth" in the garden section at Lowes. It was suggested to use a metal ruler to help in making the bends in the wire but my big wooden yardstick worked just fine. The little "fringe-like" marks on the edges of my drawing were my idea also. The cutting out gets a little complicated and I found it helpful to have the sides for which the long pieces should be left on (they are used to secure one piece to the next), marked out in advance.
A couple more pretty pictures – staged with some faux apples I have. . . there are tooth marks in one of my faux apples. How did that happen??
So, you know that I like to make things that are actually useful and not just potentially useful. The pretend apples look pretty in the basket but I needed to find a spot where it could do a real job.
By the way, I picked up these metal stencils at an antique center for $1 each, a few months ago. I used hot glue to attach them – it's only semi permanent.
How about this?
If you follow me on INSTAGRAM, you can see my 518 photo series.
Do you have a favorite number? Why is it your favorite? Can you guess why this is mine??

The men's 100 metre final at the South African Athletics Championship taking place in Potchefstroom will be the one race not be missed this season as "history" will be made.
The South African record holder, Akani Simbine (TuksAthletics) predicts the records will be tumbling and it will be first race in South Africa where more than two athletes will dip under ten seconds.
The records that could possibly be rewritten in Potchefstroom are his own national record of 9.89s, the South African junior record of 10.12s and the world junior record of 9.97s.
Simbine's confidence in his own and South Africa's other top sprinters is certainly not unfounded especially considering what happened yesterday during the 100 metre final at the Gauteng North Championships at the TuksAthletics Stadium.
The race went down to the wire with the more experienced Simbine winning in a time of 9.92 seconds. It was the 10th time he clocked a sub ten seconds time. Thando Roto (TuksAthletics) who led for the first 70 metres was second in 9.95s. In doing so he became only the fifth South African sprinter to break through the magical 10 seconds barrier. He is also South Africa's second fastest sprinter of all time.
The real reason why the race will be remembered for a long time is because it was the first time in South African athletics history that two athletes ran sub 10 second times in the same race.
As things stand at the moment Simbine (9.89s), Roto (9.95s) and Henricho Bruintjies (9.97s) all boasting times faster than 10 seconds could line up in the final. There mightbe a fourth sub ten second athlete in the final. That is not counting Wayde van Niekerk (9.98s) which could surprise a few people if he decides to also contest the short sprint at the national championships.
Gift Leotlela (TuksAthletics) set a new South African junior record running a time of 10.12s which is 0.07 seconds faster than the record set by Simbine. His friend and training partner, Clarence Munyai (TuksAthletics), confidently predicts that Leotlela is capable of running a 9.97s race. He is not the only one to think that sub ten seconds race is a mere formality for Leotlela.
If the Tuks-athlete achieves this before his birthday on 12 May he will be the only third 18 year old to dip under ten seconds. In 2001 Mark Lewis Francis (Brittain) ran 9.97s when he was 18 years 334 days old and in 2014 Trayon Bromell (USA) ran 9.97s when he was 18 years 338 days old.
What isexciting at the moment is the fact that South Africa can field a team in the 4x100m-relay that could win a medal at the World Championships in London. It could end up to be an all Tuks-team with four athletes boasting times faster than 10 seconds.
Werner Prinsloo who has been appointed to Coach the men's relay team said the only challenge left for him is to get the athletes used to running a relay together.

A Photo Editor (APE) is Rob Haggart, the former Director of Photography for Men's Journal and Outside Magazine.
It was this Haggart blog post that did it for me.:
Becoming a Photo Editor
A friends daughter dropped by the office for a little career advice a little while back. She recently graduated from college with a degree in the arts and is interested in becoming a photo editor.
(Okay, first off I find it fascinating that someone would choose photo editing as a career path. Aren't we all failed photographers? Ha, ha, industry joke.)
She landed an internship at a magazine's photography department which is the obvious first step and it sounds like a good job because they're understaffed so she will have many duties not usually given to interns… unlike the boring shit I make our interns do: sending out tears, returning art and calling PR flacks for photos (editors idea).
Anyway, my whole point here is that I came up with a few tips for any aspiring photography editors out there:
1. Develop your eye for photography. Unless you were born with the golden eye you need to edit tons of photos because wading through all the crappy images to find the gems is what develops your eye for what makes a good image. It's also helpful to track images from your edit to the final printed product so you can see which images make the final cut… unless, your editor and/or art director suck and then all the great images never make it on the page but that's another story.
2.Keep a list of editorial photographers. You need to begin learning the names of all the great editorial photographers and try and keep track of the various shoots they've done over the years. This means visiting the newsstand and writing down the names of photographers who's work you like. If the only photographers name you know is Annie Leibovitz, who by the way is under contract with Conde Nast, you're up shit creek because you will never land her to shoot a 1/4 in the front of the book. I've tried. It ain't pretty. The list of top editorial photographers is not long and you should know who many of them are.

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. – University of Richmond head baseball coach Tracy Woodson announced the Spiders' 2014 schedule on Tuesday.
The 57-game slate includes a tough non-conference slate that includes six NCAA Tournament teams from a year ago, as well as eight games against ACC, SEC and BIG EAST opponents.
"I'm really excited about the schedule we were able to put together for this season," Woodson remarked. "We want to play the best and you can see that we are doing just that – playing four ACC teams in midweek contests, along with hosting Seton Hall for three. The schedule will be a challenge, but I have full confidence in this team and what we can accomplish this season."
The season begins in Jacksonville, Florida on February 14-16, when the Spiders play three games in the North Florida Tournament. Richmond opens with Missouri and Liberty the first two days of the tourney before facing host UNF that Sunday.
Once again this season, the Spiders will play the bulk of their schedule at home, with 34 of the 57 games to be played at Pitt Field. Richmond begins its home slate with a season-long 13-game home stand beginning on February 19 against VMI.
The non-conference schedule begins in earnest on February 21-23, when the Spiders host BIG EAST rival Seton Hall for three games at Pitt Field. Richmond will also host Fairfield (Feb. 28-Mar. 2), Quinnipiac (Mar. 7-9) and Penn (Mar. 14-16) in three-game, non-conference series at Pitt Field.
Along with home-and-home midweek games against VMI, William & Mary and Coppin State, the Spiders will also host Old Dominion (Feb. 25), Virginia Tech (Mar. 11), and Brown (Mar. 25-26) at Pitt Field.
On the road, the Spiders will face three more ACC teams – Virginia (Apr. 23), NC State (May 7) and Duke (May 13). Richmond also has road, non-conference contests scheduled against Longwood (Apr. 2) and Liberty (Apr. 9).
In Atlantic 10 play, the Spiders will have nine conference weekends, with four series against teams who made the A-10 Tournament last season. Of the 12 teams in the league this year, Richmond will not play George Mason or Fordham.
At home, Richmond will host Massachusetts (Mar. 28-30), La Salle (Apr. 4-6), VCU (Apr. 11-13), George Washington (Apr. 25-27) and St. Bonaventure (May 9-11).
On the road, the Spiders will face Dayton (Mar. 21-23), defending A-10 champion Saint Louis (Apr. 17-19), Saint Joseph's (May 2-4) and finish the season at Rhode Island (May 15-17).

OO Yes Fallout 3
This game is amazing and if u save before u do any type of action, you can change the story alot of ways then reload and do it differently. The game is so big and you find hidden places so often that you cannot get tired. You can chose to be good or bad in this game. Its also sad and scary at times because if you catch a radio signal and chose to find the person, you might find them and their children's skeletal remains... ooooh ;)
Not saying its a bad game or anything .. just a bit slow in the beginning .. i like games that you can get stuck into from the word go .. but i like watching my mate play FO3 .
Broken Steel was awesome, though I haven't finished all the missions for it yet. Point Lookout is great, and I love the "'Silent Hill" feel to it. I completed the last dlc, Mothership Zeta..right up my alley, aliens, disintegrator guns, and all! What fun! lol The only one I haven't gotten is Operation Anchorage.
Fallout 3 is awsome! What level are you at, and have you played some of the DLCs yet?

It was one of those times like when I would say to my mom, "So, I've been thinking." And she would say, "Do I need to sit down for this?" So take a seat and let me lay out this idea I had. Think, brunch on Cinco de Mayo. Think, corn chips and guacamole in one happy pancake place. Now top that pancake with some lime sour cream and some fresh salsa. Are you with me here? —Dabblings
Makes about 15 three inch pancakes
Lime Sour Cream and Fresh Salsa Toppings
- 8 ounces container of sour cream
- zest of 1 lime
- juice from 1/2 of the lime
- 1 pint of cherry tomatoes; quartered
- 1/4 cup of red onion; finely diced
- 1/2-1 jalapeno; minced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro; minced
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar ( or the other 1/2 of the lime)
- salt and pepper to taste
- In a small bowl mix the sour cream with the zest of the lime and the juice from 1/2 the lime. Set aside.
- In another small bowl combine the cherry tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno (if using), cilantro, apple cider vinegar (of the juice from the other half of the lime). Mix everything together and season with with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Cornmeal, Avocado, and Lime Pancakes
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup of milk
- 1 avocado; cut into chunks
- zest of 1 lime
- juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons of butter; melted
- 1 cup of cornmeal
- 1/4 cup of all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- In a medium-sized bowl whisk the eggs and set aside.
- In a blender puree the milk, avocado, lime zest, and lime juice until smooth. Add the puree to the egg along with the melted butter and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. The batter will be thick, this is OK.
- Heat a griddle to medium-high heat. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter onto the griddle and smooth it into a round shape. Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes, flipping once, until both sides are golden brown.
- To serve, top a hot pancake with some of the fresh salsa and a spoonful of the sour cream.

Judging by the snubbed-up ride motions, tight roll angles, and snazzy Speedline mags wearing V-rated tires, this should be the sports sedan of the class. But it rides stiffly and bounds over bumps with more adolescent enthusiasm than poise. The engine sings loudly and mostly off-key when you chase it to the high 6750-rpm redline. Very active, very busy, this little car, and a bit hyper compared with the others.
If it's sport you want, you'll have to settle for the sporting mood in the cockpit, because performance is average in most categories, although the 8.7-second run to 60 and the 16.8-second quarter-mile at 82 mph are not far behind the best performers here. The 186-foot braking distance is reassuring. Too bad the squishy pedal inspires no confidence.
The Esteem feels small in the way it drives, perhaps because it is small; only the Toyota Echo is shorter and lighter. Rear-seat space and comfort rank near the back of the pack with the Saturn and the Prizm.
Up front, the driver sits low on a cloth-covered seat with lots of shaping for lateral support. Both the clutch and the shifter are quick in their action, although some complained of a Novocain numbness in the pedal feel as the clutch nears its engagement point (not a good choice for driver's ed.). Heel-and-toe downshifting is easily accomplished.
The Editors' Ratings clearly sum up our assessment of this car, mostly sevens and sixes, and a five in the "features and amenities" column. The Esteem is the only entry without a tilting steering column, and one of only three lacking cruise control and a CD player. Traditionally, such complaints would have been out of place in a cheap-sedan test, but budget buyers expect more now, and the lengthy list of features on most of the others makes this Suzuki look the slacker. With a sticker of $14,949 -- well into the upper half of the class -- it seems resistible.

Almost three years after the Clearwater Housing Authority announced it was closing Homer Villas, a 61-unit rental apartment complex for people who could not afford market rents, we know what will happen to the land.
Habitat for Humanity plans to buy the property, situated at Betty Lane and Sunset Point Road in North Clearwater, tear down the long-vacant apartments, and build a neighborhood of at least 50 single-family homes called Stevens Creek.
The homes will be offered for sale to working folks who meet certain income guidelines and whom Habitat considers good candidates for responsible home ownership. The homes will be built with the help of the expected owners and volunteers, just as other Habitat projects are built.
Under the terms of Habitat's purchase of the property, former residents of Homer Villas and other Clearwater Housing Authority clients will be offered first opportunity to buy into the Stevens Creek community.
Former Homer Villas residents were dumped into the rental apartment market when the complex closed. Though they were provided vouchers that qualified them for subsidized rents in other places, the lack of affordable housing in Pinellas had reached a crisis, and it is not known how many residents actually found suitable housing. Adding to the difficulty was the Housing Authority's decision to also close and tear down 284-unit Jasmine Courts, formerly known as Condon Gardens, on Drew Street, leaving hundreds of residents there without a home. That property remains vacant.
While it is good news that Habitat for Humanity, an outstanding organization, plans to buy the Homer Villas property and that the new community will provide desperately needed work force housing, for-purchase homes are not a replacement for Homer Villas.
There will be fewer units at Stevens Creek - about 50, instead of the more than 60 at Homer Villas - so the total inventory of affordable housing units goes down.
And Stevens Creek will serve a different demographic than Homer Villas did: potential homeowners. The result is that the rental housing inventory takes a hit, and people who do not qualify for home ownership continue to struggle to find affordable places to live.
The situation is likely to grow more dire. Some of the current subsidized rental complexes were built by private developers through special federal funding arrangements under the condition that they remain low-cost rentals for a specified number of years. Those agreements are beginning to expire, which means that some longtime rental complexes could convert to condominiums.
Also, housing authorities are not building much rental housing these days - a situation Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard addressed bluntly at Monday's City Council work session.
Hibbard said the Clearwater Housing Authority, which is not an arm of city government but is run by a city-appointed board and receives some city money, seems to be tearing down more housing than it is building, and he wonders why. Hibbard asked for a report on the authority's financial status and plans.
"I'm not real happy with them," he said. "It's disturbing. They moved people out of Homer Villas without having something ready for them to move into."
It was the same at Jasmine Courts, he said.
Housing authorities receive most of their funding through the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, and in the past decade, much of that funding stream from Washington has dried up. Housing authorities throughout the country have been forced to try new approaches to raising revenue, such as building market-price housing to sell. Or they have reduced the number of clients they serve, even as the ranks of low-income people needing housing have grown.
Habitat for Humanity, along with other similar housing organizations, has tried to step into the gap. No doubt, the Stevens Creek community will be an outstanding Habitat product, providing new, attractive and affordable housing for people who can qualify to purchase a home there.
But neither those private housing organizations nor government can afford to ignore the need for more affordable rental housing. For low-income people who need rental housing and can't find it, the only alternative often is the streets.

Mobile–Only: Lost and Found
Every day there are more 200 phones left in New York cabs. In one year that adds up to 73,000 devices in just New York City alone. Extrapolate that phenomenon out to all the major metropolises across the globe and you are faced with a staggering statistic.
There are many reasons as to why they are left behind, from people in a hurry to people who party. In the end the 'why' doesn't matter, the net result is the same - a lost device. For those who lost the device this is an inconvenience. However, if the phone is connected to your work network, it represents much more than an inconvenience. It is a security threat.
Increasingly our personal devices are making their way into the enterprise. Through Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiatives and employee demand, mobile computing is rapidly transforming the way work is done. But it is also changing the way sensitive corporate information must be secured and managed. From device management, to app management, to information management businesses are finding that they can quickly fall behind the security curve.
This first video short in the yearlong series puts a comical spin on losing a mobile device. For many organizations though this is no laughing matter. It is no longer an option for business to idly sit on the sidelines hoping nothing will happen. There are far too many benefits of a mobile workforce to miss out. However, these benefits must be met with equal precaution in protecting the corporate network, and more importantly, corporate data.
Organizations need to fold mobility into their IT strategy. Mobility must fit into the larger whole of productivity and protection. Mobility is no longer an add-on that is off to the side of 'real work'. Conducting work on mobile devices will only grow more rapidly as the capabilities of devices and services increase.
But this must be done with a comprehensive security plan that is neither too restrictive not too permissive for employees. Lock it down too much and employees will find a way around. Leave it too open and you risk exposure. However, businesses who understand the possibilities presented by a mobile workforce and leverage them to their fullest will flourish far into the future.
What is your strategy for the future? Where does mobility fit in for your business? Are you prepared to tame the threats in order to reap the rewards?

Recently, we ran into a problem loading a *.so that turned out to be caused by the fact that it hadn't been linked against all it's requisite libraries. To avoid this problem in the future, I tried passing -Wl,-z,defs to the compiler when linking the *.so. This complained about unresolved references that would be satisfied by libc.so. With current versions of the linker, -lc could be wrapped by --as-needed / -no-as-needed so the ELF DT_NEEDED tag wouldn't be added unless something from libc is really used. While I could explicitly pass -lc, it appears that other systems like Linux pass -lc to the linker when -shared is used. Should NetBSD do the same? --jtc -- J.T. Conklin
