LOS ANGELES (AP) - Comcast said Tuesday that it's buying General Electric's 49 percent stake in the NBCUniversal joint venture for $16.7 billion several years early, as the company takes advantage of low borrowing costs and what CEO Brian Roberts called a "very attractive price."
LOS ANGELES (AP) � Comcast said Tuesday that it's buying General Electric's 49 percent stake in the NBCUniversal joint venture for $16.7 billion several years early, as the company takes advantage of low borrowing costs and what CEO Brian Roberts called a "very attractive price."
The company is also buying from GE such assets as NBC's headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York and CNBC's headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, N.J., for about $1.4 billion.
At the same time, the company said it would raise its annual dividend 20 percent to 78 cents per share and buy back $2 billion in shares this year.
Comcast shares jumped $2.93, or 7.5 percent, to $41.90 in after-hours trading. GE shares rose 76 cents, or 3.4 percent, to $23.34.
Comcast Corp. had bought a majority stake in the television and movie company in 2011. It had planned to take a larger stake in it over seven years, paying for it from operating cash, starting in July 2014.
But Roberts told The Associated Press that the sale of its stake in pay TV network A&E and some wireless spectrum gave it plenty of cash on hand. He also says Comcast got a good deal given that the stock price of media conglomerates has been rising.
"We thought that we would have to pay more later," he said.
In a statement, Roberts added that "our decision to acquire GE's ownership is driven by our sense of optimism for the future prospects of NBCUniversal and our desire to capture future value that we hope to create for our shareholders."
The new deal is expected to close by the end of March.
Comcast had bought a 51 percent stake in NBC Universal, home of the NBC television network, from General Electric Co. for $13.8 billion in cash and assets. It came after the government approved Comcast's takeover of NBCUniversal with conditions intended to prevent it from keeping NBC programming to itself at the detriment of other cable operators and video websites.
Comcast, which is based in Philadelphia, is the nation's largest cable TV operator with 22 million subscribers. Besides the television network, NBCUniversal runs such cable channels as CNBC, MSNBC and Bravo, the Universal Pictures movie studio and theme parks.
In the deal, Comcast paid General Electric just under $6.2 billion in cash and contributed its pay TV channels such as E! Entertainment Television and The Golf Channel, worth $7.25 billion, to NBC Universal.
GE's stake in NBC Universal fell to 49 percent from 80 percent, but GE had planned to diminish that to zero by being paid out from the venture over about seven years. Before the Comcast deal closed, GE bought out the 20 percent stake held by France's Vivendi SA for $5.8 billion in order to complete the deal.
As part of Comcast's takeover, NBC Universal changed its corporate logo to NBCUniversal � without the space, the peacock or the globe silhouette. Officially, the company's name is still NBC Universal, but the space-less design was meant to represent the unity of its two main divisions.

Cerezas/EE.UU: envíos del Noroeste alcanzarían entre 16 y 17 millones de cajas, menos de los 18 millones de cajas estimados previamente
Mother Nature has put a dent in the Northwest cherry crop.
Grower-shippers are now expecting to ship between 16 and 17 million boxes, down from an earlier estimate of about 18 million boxes, said B.J. Thurlby, president of Yakima-based Northwest Cherry Growers.
About 23 million boxes shipped from the Northwest last year.
Early varieties like chelans and early bings were hardest hit by frost in April and heavy rains at the end of May, said said Eric Patrick, Yakima, Wash.-based marketing manager for Oakland, Calif.-based Grant J. Hunt Co.
Splitting and other issues were causing growers to decide whether to even pick some early fruit.
"I think the month of June will be pretty tight volume-wise," he said. "Up until the Fourth (of July) we'll kind of be fighting to fill orders."
Growers began picking early the week of June 3, but it would be awhile before they began shipping in volume, likely June 15-20, Thurlby said.
"It will fizzle along for the first week or two," he said.
Later varieties, however, were looking very good, Thurlby said. And he said that fruit should be on the big side this season, also a plus.
Patrick was optimistic in early June that volumes would be promotable by the holiday, and he expected promotable volumes through July.
Grant Hunt's growers expected to begin picking the week of June 10.
The Northwest's lighter start, combined with a quick end to the California deal, should keep markets strong through June, Patrick said.
On June 4, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported prices of $50-52 for 16-pound cartons of bagged California bings 10-row. Last year at the same time, 18-pound cartons sold for $42-46.
Bing losses could be up to 40% for Stemilt Growers, thanks mainly to splits caused by the heavy rain, said Roger Pepperl, marketing director for Stemilt Growers LLC, Wenatchee, Wash.
"It affected the bings more than the chelans."
While the entire Northwest crop is expected to be 25% lower than last year, bing losses will likely be closer to 50%, Thurlby said.
The heavy bing losses will affect volumes for Fourth of July, Pepperl said. Pepperl expected promotable volumes to begin shipping closer to July 8, with a strong August expected before Stemilt winds down production about the first week of September.
Yakima-based Domex Superfresh Growers was hoping for the best following the rains, said Howard Nager, vice president of marketing.

text: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 enjoyed a blockbuster opening last weekend, but none of the sparkly vampire flicks in the series made the cut when we asked Wired readers to name their favorite movies based on books. Maybe there just aren't enough Twi-hards among our snarky readers, who had plenty to say about other memorable book-to-screen crossovers. Most divisive: David Lynch's phantasmagoric 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi novel Dune. Wired's readers didn't stop at that books-based experiment gone wrong (or right, depending on your position). Click through our gallery for other speculative-fiction movies that commenters couldn't help but dissect. (For the record? The only reason we passed on Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange in our original list, "Novel Approaches: 10 Books That Became Great Sci-Fi and Fantasy Films," was so the director didn't hog the spotlight with 2001: A Space Odyssey.) Above: Dune I love the Dune saga, and would kill for a good film adaptation. David Lynch has made some very interesting-looking movies, and I like a lot of them, but as a Dune fanboy, his film adaptation of the book is atrocious. —LHL2500 Which version have you seen? If you're talking about the original theatrical release, that was actually hated by Lynch himself, as the film company forced him to excise a lot of it to get within a specific running time. It's why he had his name withheld as director on it, and stuck the name "Alan Smithee" on instead, a tradition amongst directors who don't like the finished product. —Beeblebrox888 How can you miss David Lynch's Dune from Frank Herbert's classic? Although maligned by critics, IMO it ranks as one of the best sci-fi movies ever. —rpensotti Lynch effectively invented the visuals associated with universe, even while deviating from the text's description significantly at times. I think that two consequent attempts of bringing Dune to the screen only highlight how much work was put into visuals. —LoudRambler Worst ever? Dune. Great book, terrible movie. —Damian BrennanA Clockwork Orange Any list of best film adaptations of novels that includes 2001: A Space Odyssey (where the novel came after the movie) and has Starship Troopers but not A Clockwork Orange can't be taken seriously. —John Gaspar To be honest, I'm kind of shocked that a Harry Potter film got on this list before A Clockwork Orange. —Jim Snider Hell yeah! And all the more profound, in my opinion, because Burgess invented Nadsat as a language for the book, which was used in the film! —JP MarchantWar of the Worlds One of my least-favorite book-based movies is War of the Worlds (all of them). Sadly, none of them have really captured what is a truly great novel in and of its own right. Both the '60s one and the newest one are pretty far off base. The only halfway faithful adaptation was done by The Asylum and was a low-budget, direct-to-video thing. It's not a bad movie except that the special effects are so laughable. It's a shame that the writer of the Asylum version couldn't get as big a budget as the Spielberg version. Then it would have been the best sci-fi movie of all time. —John Enfield It's hard to get upbeat about a movie like that, especially after listening to Jeff Wayne's version narrated by Richard Burton. If you haven't listened to it, then get thee to a music store pronto, and shell out for it. It is worth it. —Beeblebrox888I, Robot The worst desecration of source material was Will Smith's I, Robot, supposedly based on the collection of short stories by Isaac Asimov. The entire reason Asimov wrote the Robot stories (collected as I, Robot and The Rest of the Robots) was to rebut what he called the Frankenstein Complex, the idea found in all fiction to that point that man would create robots and then the robots would turn on their creator. He believed robots were a tool like any other tool and we shouldn't fear robots turning on us.... In Asimov's world, robots were tools of positive, if misunderstood, good. So, what happened in the movie? Man creates robots who then turn on their creator. The movie was everything the author of the story thought was dreadful, stupid and silly. —MacAdvisor Gotta agree. I'd add that, in I, Robot and the Elijah Bailey series of books, Asimov points out that, left to their own devices, with the Three Laws, robots are always looking at things with a benevolence never held by their human makers. The problems always come in when their human makers butt their oafish heads into the mix. The movie flips that on its head, and lambastes any points Asimov was trying to make. —Robert HagamanOn the Beach The author of this article should have a look at the book and the 2000 movie On the Beach. —pmarcantonio Don't forget the original with Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner. They made it during the Cold War. —RobM111Contact Carl Sagan's Contact is one of my favorite books, and one of the books that I feel was best translated to the screen while staying true to the theme of the original. —DukeTGThe Illustrated Man So The Illustrated Man isn't here? I can't understand how Starship Troopers, which is far and above one of the worst films I've ever seen, can be here, but The Illustrated Man somehow gets ignored. —Richard VeroszlindeJurassic Park Jurassic Park was one of the few movies that I liked better than the book. Michael Crichton's characters were all strict stereotypes, but decent acting and excellent direction by Spielberg was able to move past the limitations of the book. —Anthony_FThe Andromeda Strain I'd add The Andromeda Strain to the good list. —John Harden The original movie. The remake was crapola! —krreaganFear and Loathing in Las Vegas Its not sci-fi, but Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a killer book and an even better film, thanks to the acid-trip visuals, Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro's hysterical acting and a pretty faithful adaptation of the book by director Terry Gilliam. —Blair Toland

|History of Curling
Curling has been described as the "Roarin' Game", with the "roar" coming from the noise of a granite stone as it travels over the ice. The exact origins of the game, however, are unclear, lost in the mists of time.
Paintings by a 16th Century Flemish Artist, Pieter Bruegel (1530-1569) portrayed an activity similar to curling being played on frozen ponds. The first written evidence appeared in Latin, when in 1540, John McQuhin, a notary in Paisley, Scotland, recorded in his protocol book a challenge between John Sclater, a monk in Paisley Abbey and Gavin Hamilton, a representative of the Abbot. The report indicated that Sclater threw a stone along the ice three times and asserted that he was ready for the agreed contest.
What is clear, however, is that what may have started as an enjoyable pastime of throwing stones over ice during a harsh Northern European winter, has evolved into a popular modern sport with its own World Championships attracting large television audiences.
Curling in its early days was played on frozen lochs and ponds. A pastime still enjoyed in some countries when weather permits, but all National and International competitive curling competitions now take place in indoor rinks with the condition of the ice carefully temperature-controlled.
It is also clear that the first recognized Curling Clubs were formed in Scotland, and during the 19th Century the game was "exported" wherever Scots settled around the world in cold climates, most notably at that time in Canada, USA, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway and New Zealand.
The first Rules were drawn up in Scotland, and they were formally adopted as the "Rules in Curling" by the Grand Caledonian Curling Club, which was formed in Edinburgh in 1838 and became the sport's governing body. Four years later, following a demonstration of curling on the ballroom floor of Scone Palace near Perth by the Earl of Mansfield during a visit by Queen Victoria, the Queen was so fascinated by the game that in 1843 she gave permission for the Club's name to be changed to the Royal Caledonian Curling Club (RCCC).
It is recorded that international curling events were staged in the 19th century in Europe and North America, but it was not until the first Olympic Winter Games at Chamonix in 1924 that any form of official International competition took place for men's teams. Great Britain defeated Sweden and France in what was retroactively accepted in 2006 by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as Curling's Olympic debut, with medals awarded.
In 1932 at Lake Placid, curling again was listed but this time as a demonstration sport at the Winter Olympics, and Canada was a winner over the United States in a two-country competition in which each country entered four Men's teams.
Another 25 years passed before a meeting was held in Edinburgh in 1957 to consider the formation of an international organization which would be required in order to apply for Olympic medal status. No progress was documented, but two years later, in 1959, Scotland and Canada reached a major milestone by launching the Scotch Cup series between their national men's curling champions.
Interest in other countries was generated, and the USA (1961), Sweden (1962), Norway and Switzerland (1964), France (1966) and Germany (1967) expanded the Scotch Cup entry. The 1959-67 results now are recognized in the curling history of the men's world championship.
The success of the Scotch Cup series led to another attempt, in March 1965, to create a global administration. The Royal Caledonian Curling Club (Scotland) convened a meeting in Perth, Scotland, and six countries (Scotland, Canada, USA, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland) agreed to a proposal to form an international committee of the Royal Club, to be called the International Curling Federation (ICF).
The following year, in March, 1966, in Vancouver, Canada, a draft constitution for the ICF was considered by seven countries (France was added to the original six), and the Federation was declared to be established as of April 1, 1966. The constitution was approved in March 1967, at Perth, and a set of rules for international competition was proposed. At the Federation's annual meeting in 1968 in Pointe Claire, Quebec, these rules were adopted, but are subject to amendment and revision each year.
Also in 1968, the Air Canada Silver Broom replaced the Scotch Cup, and it was sanctioned as the World Curling Championship. In 1975, the Federation endorsed the World Junior Men's Curling Championship; in 1979 the Ladies' Curling Championship; and in 1988, the World Junior Ladies' Curling Championship. The four events were combined into two in 1989 at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Markham, Ontario, and became known as the World Curling Championships (WCC) and the World Junior Curling Championships (WJCC).
The Constitution had a significant adjustment in 1982, when the Federation was declared an independent entity and approved as the governing body for curling in the world, while the Royal Caledonian Curling Club was acknowledged as the Mother Club of Curling.
In 1991, the name of the Federation was changed to the World Curling Federation (WCF).
Curling was a demonstration sport for a second and third time at the Olympic Winter Games of 1988 (Calgary) and 1992 (Albertville) for teams of men and women.
On 21 July 1992, at its session in Barcelona, Spain, the International Olympic Committee granted official medal status to Men's and Women's Curling, to take effect no later than the Olympic Winter Games of 2002, with an option for 1998 at Nagano, Japan. During the meeting of the IOC Executive Board held June 22-23, 1993 in Lausanne, the Organizing Committee of the Nagano Olympic Winter Games (NAOC) officially agreed to include Curling in the programme of the XVIII Olympic Winter Games in 1998. Eight teams for men and women participated in Nagano, and this was increased to ten for the Salt Lake City Olympic Winter Games of 2002.
At the Semi-Annual General Assembly of the Federation in Leukerbad, Switzerland, in December 1993, a revised Constitution was adopted. This included changes to the Management Structure. The revised structure became operational following the election of the Executive Board at the Annual General Assembly in Oberstdorf, Germany, in April 1994.
From 1966 to 1994, the administration of the ICF and WCF was the responsibility of employees of the RCCC. Following the adoption of the revised Constitution, the WCF set up its own Head Office and Secretariat in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1994.
At the Semi-Annual General Assembly of the Federation in Grindelwald, Switzerland in December 1995, a completely re-written Constitution was adopted in order to comply with Swiss law following the Federation's registration in that country.
In May 2000, the WCF Secretariat moved from Edinburgh to Perth, Scotland.
The first World Wheelchair Curling Championship was held in January 2002 and in March that year, the International Paralympic Committee granted official medal status to Wheelchair Curling for mixed gender teams. The Organizing Committee of the Torino Paralympic Winter Games 2006 agreed to include Wheelchair Curling in their programme.
Other international events introduced in 2002 included World Senior Championships for men and women, and the Continental Cup, a competition run along the same lines as golf's Ryder Cup, with North America (Canada and USA) versus Europe with twelve male and twelve female athletes in each team competing in various curling disciplines.
In 2003, Curling was featured on the programmes of the World University Winter Games and the Asian Winter Games for the first time.
In 2005, the World Men's and Women's Championships were separated once again, and held in different parts of the world. Also that year the European Youth Olympic Festival introduced a curling competition for Junior men and women between 15 and 18 years of age.
Today, the WCF Secretariat remains in Perth, steered by an Executive Board of nine volunteers and supported by eight employees, and boasting 44 Member Associations.

At least he should have nice muscles after pushing his Dalek around all day. Built for around $US1,149, this full-sized Dalek uses an electric wheelchair as its base, and in addition to pushing, can also be controlled via remote.
While master Rob Bosher is a far cry from David Tennant, he's built in a voice modulator so his creation doesn't just look like a Dalek and walk like one, it also talks like one too.
So what's more damaging to your love life dear readers, pushing around a full-sized Dalek or wearing this helmet? [Botropolis]

FBSD installer took away all control ...
... like Windows or should I pretend to be happy. I just downloaded 9.0 AGAIN about three weeks ago and it only had the January version as usual... now I find this:
How to install fbsd 9.0
and /tmp is still in there to fill up your HDD a difference way, so ...
It seem the new FreeBSD installer force the use of zfs in FBSD 9.0 . I hope this is not true but that's what I got I think. Now I wonder do this mean that Qjail will not work for FBSD-9.0. For the past few days, I left no stone un-turn. I read all, I mean ALL I could find about Qjail and today I just found, downloaded and installed FBSD-9.0 (May 12, 2011) on a test machine. It look sick to me. I think this is zfs so this may be right up the desktop people alley for what I read about zfs. I think FBSD gave-in and using the PcBSD way of doing things. I guest after all the years of people complaining about the old installers .... now look what you get.
I also read a thread at the qJail Mail-List from last JULY where someone indicated that Qjail do not/did not support zfs.
just like I just said in post #3 ... by time I get there it be history.
I give up.
After thinking a bit, if UFS install don't work, I'm sure they will fix it by production. If UFS does work I think this version would make way for perfect qjails with the new .sujournal and all. Its a 32MB file.
Anyway, also it throws your HDD out of wack. Under Partition Commander you can see it mark the Primary as "Damaged". This is ny 3rd try and I still found no way to format as UFS. And it destroyed the ready-made one I gave it the first time. I think Qjail said you have to use the same version for Jail that is running on your machine. If so, that may be the next show stopper
I had to try one more time and when I gave it a ready-made 30GB UFS again this time I did it manually and it went farther this time... it started installing but now it gave me this error:
Extract Error:
Error while extracting base .txz: Can't set user=0/group for var/emptyCan't update time for var/empty.
just one more time: this time I took the guide and it selected the 2nd 30GB UFS but it is now 42GB... That is not what I wrote with P.Commander. It was 30GB, 30GB and 15GB. What happen was, FreeBSD skipped the first one and took the 2nd one and added the 3rd one to it AND made a 2.5GB swap and added the balance of primary-3 12GB out of 15 to Primary-2. That is DIRTY computing, PERIOD. You don't take partitons away and ask nothing about it.
Anyway it did a complete install. After reboot, it FROZE at "Loading Operating System"
This tells me that zfs is enforced or you got to use the entire HDD or it just don't like sharris anymore, or it never did because I'm the one who told you all how to have more than one FBSD installed on your HDD. Sharris give-it, FreeBSD (may have) took it away. They were in the cut, listening all along. heehee One thing for sure, with-out SLICES you loss two or more PRIMARYS and you only have three ... that would be four when they take away your extented like Windows once dream of.
By time you got to Geogia, she was gone!
Hope you have better luck

Okay, I haven't touched 9 yet or really followed the development closely so I'll be brief.
May the source be with you!
2. I don't know what we are disagreeing about. I'm well aware of everything you said and totally agree with it. Furthermore, I personally don't use ZFS on my desktop systems. Though many people do, including on single disk ones. Just take a look at the official forums and you'll find quite a few people doing so.
May the source be with you!
I just hope all OS developers knows it's alright for them not to meet all expected dead-line functions every 6-months. Just skip it and re-think better for the next round. They came to far to be playing guesting games that could break the OS five to ten years down the line completely. Sometime it's not worth trying to keep up with the Jones and we are not about to turn our backs one of the Greatest OS in the World just because they needed more time to get something new, perfectly implemented. One thing for sure, I learn how to be more careful, but please, no more crash-course.
I been learning for a year this is the "daemonforums" ... known around the world to be cool, quite and not so active but I can assure you it on the map BIGTIME. Many other forums members speak highly of this place. I live on google to code Windows and soon BSD, so I can say to developers, don't forget to do a relaxing read here before commenting anything. Not everyone has time to join your mail-list and what nots. You do have people to do some searching other than your own mail-list and PR, don't you?
Carpetsmoker's, crew and some long-time members; I can tell you now, you guys are well known and you should be very proud.
OpenSolaris and Solaris use ZFS almost exclusively. Even on a single-disk single-filesystem layout.
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
In sysinstalls, fdisk you can - or should be able to - select the T option for file system type of a partition, then use 165 for UFS, did you try that?
"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words." -Philip K. Dick
Yes, it's true ZFS is used a lot on Solaris (I don't know about OpenSolaris since I don't use it) but the default Solaris 10 install is still UFS. 99.9% of Solaris 10 installs are on big systems with many drives. If you follow the opensolaris zfs list (I do) you can see the questions they ask, nobody ever asked about one drive. They are talking about issues with dozens of drives, setups I would love to have!
ZFS on a single drive isn't totally useless, because you do get very nice features like snapshots and not having to decide the size of your partitions when you install. But the main feature that makes ZFS popular for enterprise use is the checksumming and recovery. If you have a single drive all the system can tell you is your filesystem or drive is no good, and refuse to use it. That might even be worse in some cases then UFS. If you have at least two drives, you have a very good chance of surviving the total loss of one drive or heavy corruption on one drive.
I recently had a BIOS problem on a Solaris 10 machine with a dead CMOS battery with 2 drives in mirror config. The system came up and started frying one of my drives. I got diagnostic messages from ZFS (although it went into a shutdown and reboot loop) and was able to start in single user mode and find the bad files and do a scrub on the pool and I lost nothing. I would have lost about a month's worth of work if I didn't use ZFS. So yeah, ZFS is great but you really need *at least* two drives or you won't get the most advantage. Drives are cheap. You should really have two if you use ZFS. I have no experience on BSD with ZFS though.
And BTW to sharris, ZFS people tell you "DO NOT USE HARDWARE RAID!" if you use ZFS. Let ZFS manage the configuration. You have many ZFS RAID options.

Multibooting with LILO
I manage very large disk arrays (some in excess of 16 TB) and I can't imagine trying to run one of my larger PostgreSQL databases on software RAID. It doesn't make sense in terms of performance. It's difficult enough to keep an entire state government happy with database performance without shooting yourself in the foot from the very beginning (though I'll admit I didn't take non-hardware RAID very seriously during testing).

Download-1 - - 413 MB – about 5 hours:
The beef about this one is above.
.................................................. ..
.................................................. ..
Download-2 - - 1 GB – took over 12 HOURS:
This time I try to install in VirtualBox and it stopped on the first page:
[thread pid 0 tid 100000]
Stopped at acpi_install_wakeup_handler+0xd9: movq %r15,0x88(%r12)
... and on a real-partitions on a fresh HDD, after the install I get:

The creation of filesystem will be aborted.

Finally found somewhere else:
Download-3 - - 653 MB – in about 20 minutes
This is another DVD of the same versions and date. Check these web sites and you see they are of difference size if someone did not change things already. 1-GB vs 653MB and they both are suppose to be the same version. Is this normal or is Beastie right... pure desperation with lost of concentration. It took near exact 12 hours for a 1-GB download as I sleep and I got this one else where in under 30 minutes ... Hummm, even Microsoft don't get that busy ??? .. Anyway, this is what I got for my last few, brand new, DVD's and I am not happy.
Anyway, at boot it boot to this, again:
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
That to singe-user-mode on it's own.
After that it goes here every time but in difference order and than quit. Keyboad is gone and I have to pull-the-plug:
... and it destroyed the FAT-32 partition that was 2nd on the disk and I only made slices for up to 30GB on the 40GB UFS partition.
OK, This time I gave the install a COMPLETELY unformatted HDD, and here is what it looks like if you accept the GUIDE. Notice it gave me two boots ...
ada0 .. 74 GB .. GPT
ada0p1 ... 64 kb ... freebsd-boot
ada0p2 .... 5 GB ... freebsd-ufs

ada0p7 ... 64 GB ... freebsd-boot
ada0p8 ... 32 GB ... freebsd-ufs .. /
ada0p9 .. 1.7 GB ... freebsd-swap
Bottom line, at release time if Partition-Commander show me a red ring at the top of the long cylinder image and all of my other PRIMARIES are gone and only BSD remain, FreeBSD-9.0 +++ is HISTORY! Even you want to be KING. Look at the MAC, he has his own agriculture to rule over. Every OS writer knows Windows-8 to Windows-9 is up to something. They all are running wild because they know there is only room for two real WINNERS. I forgot what's it call but I read about something like this a few years back, where consumers will no longer owns their machines. It will be owned by a single operating system on tailored Hardware ... making hacking for ownership and privacy, impossible. It will only share you and yours with Face-Book, tweeter and the LAW for your own protection. How lovely... and to boot you still have vBOX ... One ruling OS over many (pee-ons) is the plan.
I hope I'm just speculating but if it turns true, I got my plan-2. When the day come, "it works for you and not for him", that's is D-END of operation snow-ball.
Btw: Finding things like this don't turn me on but it keeps me on my toes because this could destroys all of my/our hard work and enthusiasm all in a day. Just like it did for DOS, AT, XT, i386, including Windows-98. They all got kick to the curb, face down, or was it belly-up ... heehee
.. and it's nothing but the way of Todays Technology.
I tried hard. You do the math, I'll just wait!

Sorry but I do not understand single thing you are posting.
I use CURRENT all the time, but I do not reinstall CURRENT from install disk all the time.
The sysinstaller is probably broken because it does not use gpart at all, you can manage partitions with gpart, do not use other tools.
You can install boot code to mbr/slice with gpart.
New installer is not yet complete.
To correctly install CURRENT you should probably use gpart in fixit shell.
You can post "flames" on @current mailing list, posting it on this forums is like talking to wall.
If you don't understand it, don't worry about it. Somebody will.
If it works for you, be happy. And don't try to tag this thread as flame. The word itself is only design to start a flame war and to give me a rep and you know it. This been days of 24/7's trying hard to make the new freebsd installer work as I laugh to keep myself from crying. No one would take my comments personal unless it's all true. Just look at the error messages. I can't make up something that was just invented for tomorrow. Everything in color is all the proof anyone would ever need. I'm sure not everyone have had the same issues when using PORT and hacks. I don't know how to do all of that and should not have too.
How about the people who download the ISO. That's what this thread is all about. One person had tons of issues ... That means "one million users too many". I post in hope give the FreeBSD developers a clue of what should be fixed. I did not send in a resume to the PR to be at the bottom of the stack. They have to find it here. The choices are, they find it, someone here warn them or simply use your time to tag people like me to be banned, kicked to the curb, face-down to keep it on the hush-hush. Heehee
This the 2nd time I had to explain my intentions with all the facts hanging right over your head. I am not like anyone here so don't expect me to be. I tell the story my way, not your way.
By the way, Thanks to the next poster ... WoW J65nko, vermaden will be my way. I'll get on it today. But I'm still glad I posted so FreeBSD can figure out what we see out here.
I do my best for FreeBSD FOREVER, regardless of what I say. It's a love thing

If you feel comfortable and/knowledgeable enough you can easily install FreeBSD without the IMHO terrrible sysinstall. For example see HOWTO: Modern FreeBSD Install (vermaden way)
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
I finally got it installed but I still see problems. That damage HDD red-ring indicator is still at the top of the cyc image among the few other thing. It keep takeing over the other partitons but that could be something I'm not doing right. Who knows.
Good luck

If you want ZFS, skip sysinstall entirely.
Either use the bsdinstall-based CDs, or the PC-BSD CD. Those both support ZFS installs (and gmirror installs, and anything you can do with [man=8]gpart[/man]).
The bsdinstall CDs are really nice, as the installer is a LiveCD with several opportunities to "do it yourself". Drop to a shell, use gpart to configure the disk, create the filesystems, mount them to wherever it needs them (it tells you), then restart the installer and away it goes.
The disk partitioner is also much nicer in bsdinstall.
You can get the bsdinstall CDs here.

If my extended comment boar someone out there, just SPEED-READ or turn the page from USA to your home town.
PRIMARY-1 ... Windows trickery *TRY* to enforce this on me, but did on most but MS was still was smart enough to keep Windows in a single partition. Just like programming tools. Is it C++, Perl, PHP or what ... You use the one that is tailored for the job. Windows did the best job as a desktop up to XP. Now it's a KDE/EXPLORER operating system ONLY. So it's DIE with vista ++.
PRIMARY-2 .. FreeBSD is happy .. he got SLICES ... You can get up to {8} PARTITIONS under its own UNIVERSE, and you can throw any possible clown in jail to help ensure your system is secure ... Windows or LINUX cannot do this. Patrick Henry meant to say: Give me my choice of which UNIVERSE I want or give me LINUX.
PRIMARY-3 .. PcBSD is happy .. but with PcBSD-9.0 he got gPart issues big-time. This is why I think I seen the light already. Anyway, PcBSD play with LABELS. Maybe that's a ZFS thing, I don't know. Here's something I found about REAL BSD labels:
EXTENDED-4.. Since Linux is weaker than BSD ... It's because must have a separate PARTITION for swap and more if he wants better security. The good thing is he can waste PARTITION inside EXTENDED where you own up to 15 to 29 logical partition depending on OS used. But tthe OS really don't call the shots if you know what your doing with standard MBR. Problem is the new FreeBSD installer seems to be stepping on some toes. Maybe this links can help explain some of my concerns:
gpart is the problem I think. The new FreeBSD installer seem to waste three PRIMARY partitions *OR* at lease two FOR SURE ... I get a BOOT partition, a SWAP partition and the standard UFS partition for root, usrs and such.
The reason I know is that I watch and I check. After the install I use *Partition Commander* to view the disk. *Partition Commander* knows that this is not a common FreeBSD-UFS partition and that is why it marks the partition as DEFECTED.
Now should I say, all is well... NO, because I think the new installer has actually stole all three of my PRIMARY partitions, trying to do things the LINUX way "BUT" it can't live on EXTENDED where partitions are plentiful so now the user suffers.
Anyway, it don't matter because I will be hacking it soon until that is taken away, and if so, I'll write my own BSD. I always wanted to piece things together from places like the link you posted. That is the only way to deal with BSD. As far a a desktop, PcBSD may be the winner once they cut down on memory usages in 9.0 and solve the gPart issue.
Hope you know I appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks phoenix
BTW, I hate writing because I don't know how to talk and I have no time to learn how-to present myself. I rather code and I know a lots of people that will tell you the same. But here I need someone to know what the issue is, but if you dedicated the disk your whole computing life, you will never know.
Hey, I got the live-cd. I'm going to take all the suggestions given here and learn to hack it. After waiting a whole year for FreeBSD-9.0 it never cross my mind that it could turn out like the GNOME-3 thing did. vermaden makes it seem so easy so I should have something up and running in a few days even if I have to drop back to 8.2, I'll still use it. I should have been there a long time ago. Kind of funny, you guys did not know what I was talking about and I did not know what you guys was hinting at...
Thanks again
I have one question, is Gparted, FreeBSD gpart(8) and GNU parted the same thing? I checked a google but it never tells me and difference so I take for granted freeBSD has a build in GNU parted, but I also thought FreeBSD did not like GNU license. This is what I tried and it don't make UFS partitions that's why I dump it for cfdisk. It works for ALL formats, not just LINUX like Windows works for Windows only for instance. And I don't think whatever FreeBSD use is going out of its way either.
Last edited by sharris; 9th July 2011 at 09:11 AM. Reason: PS:
No. GPartEd is a Linux-based GUI LiveCD partition manager thingy that uses GNU parted to do the actual partitioning.
gpart is the FreeBSD command-line tool for partitioning disks.
No relation whatsoever between them, although they do similar tasks.

Attract More Juncos to Your Backyard
With the arrival of cool weather and fluffy white snow come flocks of pink-billed birds.
Dark-eyed juncos reappear in many parts of the Lower 48 just as winter comes alive each year. They leave their breeding grounds in the North Woods and the western mountains to descend on backyard feeding stations across much of the U.S. Many people, like Birds & Blooms reader Jennifer Hardison from Athens, Tennessee, have a nickname for juncos. "We call them snowbirds because we only see them after a snowfall," she says. To attract a whole flock of these backyard favorites to your own space, it takes a couple of feeders and the right plants to keep them full and coming back for more.
Serve the Right Stuff
In winter, juncos feast on seeds of weeds and grasses that are left standing in your landscape or in fields, parks and open woodlands. Seeds from common plants such as chickweed, buckwheat, lamb's-quarters and sorrel make up 75 percent of their year-round diet. But juncos also supplement with feeder foods. These snowbirds prefer to forage on the ground for millet, sunflower hearts or cracked corn that has fallen from your feeders. They may occasionally steal a seed from a platform or tray feeder, or snatch a juicy berry from a fruit-producing shrub.
East vs. West
Depending on where you live, your juncos may look different. Those found in the eastern half of the U.S. are charcoal gray on top with white bellies and known as slate-colored types. The most common variety in the west is called the Oregon junco. Male Oregons sport a solid black or slaty hood, chestnut-colored back, rusty sides and a white belly. Other juncos, like white-winged and gray-headed, are less common with limited ranges. Where junco ranges overlap, though, you may find several types in one winter flock. And when you do, look for their signature detail—a pretty pink bill.
Juncos are part of the sparrow family. Look for these dark-eyed beauties in flocks with other sparrows and bluebirds.
Junco Tales from Readers
"While I was visiting Clingmans Dome in the Smoky Mountains, this friendly dark-eyed junco let me get closer for a picture. This is one of my favorite snapshots from the entire trip." — Elisabeth Belokas, Downers Grove, Illinois
"On New Year's Day I found some time to go outside and watch birds. As I sat on the porch, a few of them flew right up to the feeders hanging from the eave. This junco sat on a nearby branch for a while and let me snap away!" — Ra Del Hinckley, Independence, Missouri

On the night he died, his family cleaned his body, dressed him in his favourite outfit and laid him in his bed. His wife crawled in and fell asleep beside him. The next morning would see the start of a four-day celebration of life that included visits from friends and relatives, a circle of remembrance and a ceremony to send off a man loved by many in his 63 years of life.
In days gone by, this is the way we said goodbye. Life's final passage was intimate, personal and observed by our nearest and dearest.
The event described above, however, happened just a few months ago. Working with the man before his death and his large extended family throughout, native Calgarian Sarah Kerr ensured that his parting was recognized with rituals that were healing for all involved.
"I don't see life and death as opposites; life encompasses both," says the woman who goes by the job title of death midwife. "I see what I'm doing as community therapy."
While death midwifery is in fact an ancient practice, it has only been in the last decade that it has resurfaced in mainstream North American society. While their approaches can vary, death midwives — some call themselves death doulas or spiritual midwives — offer families an alternative to the usual funeral home send-off. It's an unfamiliar term that "everybody's defining differently," says Kerr, who keeps in touch with fellow practitioners through the Facebook group Death Midwifery in Canada and services clients through her business Soul Passages (soulpassages.ca).
One thing's for sure: thanks to the Baby Boomers, the first wave having turned 65 in 2011, the popularity of such an alternative is on the upswing.
"They did home births, home-schooling," says Kerr of the generation that changed the cultural landscape.
Thursday at 7 p.m., Kerr is hosting a Family-Led After Death Care film screening and presentation at Wickenden Hall (1703 1st St. N.W., tickets $14 at the door), during which she will share both her philosophy of death midwifery and its practical implications.
Kerr's alternative approach to dying is in keeping with the pioneering approach she's taken most of her life. In her early 20s, the eldest of two daughters of Sheila and Bill Kerr, a Calgary geologist, was a vocal advocate for the environment.
"I became passionate about it while working as a back-country guide," she says. "I realized I had to move back to the city in order to help make any change."
By the late 1990s, she was a prominent figure in the peaceful protest movement, a commitment that found her in a Seattle jail for five days during World Trade Organization protests.
"I went in one person and came out another," she says of the transformative experience of sharing a three-by-five metre cell with 35 other women, along with being among 600 protesters who refused to leave until all were released. "Like any kind of initiating experience. something hard can be a great gift to make you realize what you're capable of."
After more than a decade as a social and community activist, she recently received her PhD from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.
"After graduating, I spent a long time thinking about where I wanted to put my energy next," says Kerr, who has also worked as an instructor in the University of Calgary's environmental design faculty. "Eventually I came to working with death because I think it's one of the deepest cultural shadows we have."
Kerr's mostly word of mouth clientele come to her with a wide variety of requests, from helping those facing imminent death with creating their own rituals to those looking for a way to formally say goodbye to a beloved pet.
While she is passionate about her work in helping families say goodbye in their own unique way, Kerr says is quick to point out that for some, the traditional mode works just fine.
"This isn't for everybody," she says. "I just tell them these are the options, with a lot of respect for funeral homes and what they do."
Aiding those who seek a different way to acknowledge death, though, has become the passion of her life.
"If I can help people have a more comfortable relationship with death, she says, "it'll not only be a service at a personal level but it'll have an impact culturally, too."

NH House votes to protect owners from liability if their stolen gun is used in crime
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � The New Hampshire House has voted to grant immunity in civil cases to gun owners whose weapons are stolen and used in the commission of a crime.
The House voted 211-151 to send the bill to the Senate after rejecting a Judiciary Committee recommendation to kill it.
State Rep. Lenette Peterson, a Merrimack Republican, argued gun owners should not be victimized twice.
She also said she should not have to keep her gun locked up at home. She said if her house is broken into while she is home, her gun won't provide much protection.
Bill opponents argued they heard no evidence showing a need for the bill.

Obtaining local electrochemical (EC) information is extremely important for understanding basic surface reactions, and for many applications. Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) can obtain local EC information by scanning a microelectrode across the surface. Although powerful, SECM is slow, the scanning microelectrode may perturb reaction and the measured signal decreases with the size of microelectrode. This thesis demonstrates a new imaging technique based on a principle that is completely different from the conventional EC detection technologies. The technique, referred to as plasmonic-based electrochemical imaging (PECI), images local EC current (both faradaic and non-faradaic) without using a scanning microelectrode. Because PECI response …

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 24-year-old Jacksonville man was sentenced to life in prison this week for an armed robbery last year.
Vontae Alston was convicted on one count of armed robbery.
In June, he and an unidentified co-defendant robbed a 20-year-old woman as she waited for her boyfriend outside a convenience store on Philips Highway.
Alston and the co-defendant used a gun to threaten the woman. The two men demanded her money and then took off.

Just a minor question:
I assume that eglBindApi sets the API for the current context, is that right? So a eglBindApi before a valid eglMakeCurrent will always return an error.
I'm a bit worried because the only source that calls eglBindApi is from the OpenVG reference code, and it calls eglBindApi right after eglInitialize (which does not make much sense unless the current API is per thread, not per context).
Could someone please shed some light on this?

When esteemed experts question the value of education in addressing climate change–which happened to me again last week at Stanford–I'm initially surprised. But then I remind myself that, while they may be experts in their realm, they don't necessarily appreciate the worth of providing young people with the background and skills so they can understand the causes, effects, risks, and responses to climate change.
I'd received an invitation a few months back to attend the Connecting the Dots 2014 symposium on the Climate, Energy, Food, and Water Nexus sponsored by the TomKat Center for Sustainable Energy at Stanford University. I'd nearly forgotten about it, but it fit in with my schedule, so Friday morning I headed down to check out the event, which featured many of the Stanford scientists involved with the most recent (and prior) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment reports.
Neither Tom, as in Tom Steyer, nor Kat, as in his wife Kat Taylor, who together form the TomKat dynamic duo, were in attendance as far as I could see. But their vision of connecting dots and connecting people doing research and work on the vital, interlinked topics of climate, energy, food, and water permeated the proceedings.
There were a number of talks, mainly on the IPCC Working Group II report Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability, and then breakout sessions. I choose one on the ethics of climate change which proved interesting.Then Lauren Sommer of KQED radio hosted a panel with the vague title "Our Changing Climate". When Lauren opened the panel up to questions from the audience, I asked a loaded and, to be honest, perhaps self-serving question. (I recently submitted a manuscript for a book scheduled to be published this fall called Climate Smart & Energy Wise". I anticipated that, in their own way, everyone would agree with my premises.
My question to the panel was as much a statement as a query: "My question is about the role of education in addressing climate change. Most people seem to support clean energy and are somewhat concerned about climate change, though maybe not as much as we would like. One in four people in the US is a student, and most of them have never had a course on climate change and would fail a quiz on the basics of climate or energy. Shouldn't a national initiative to substantially raise climate and energy literacy be a priority so that people will have the knowledge and know-how to make informed decisions about climate change?"
In other words, I was asking "is climate change education really important or not?" And, like most of those making statements posing as questions during the Q&A, I figured the answer would be a resounding "Yes!"
This affirmative, that climate change education is a worthy enterprise, is backed by data such as the Six Americas Knowledge of Climate Change surveys, Ranney's research on understanding of the Greenhouse Effect, and Jon Miller's research on Generation X, which show that those who know more about climate change are also more concerned. These and other studies also point to a general lack of understanding of climate and energy issues, presumably because these aren't taught or taught well.
Two of the panelists seemed to agree, but one questioned the premise of my question, claiming that we should leave the challenges of climate change to the experts.
The first to respond, Noah Diffenbaugh, Associate Professor of Environmental Earth System Science; Senior Fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment; and lead author of Working Group II; affirmed that climate change education was important, mentioning a NASA-funded project for teacher training that Stanford was involved with.
The second responder, Terry Root, Senior Fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment specializing in ecosystem impacts, lead author on two previous IPCC assessment reports and review editor of current one, touted the work of our friends at the Alliance for Climate Education, which has reached nearly two million of the 56 million K12 students in the US; a good start but not nearly enough.
It was the third panelist who disagreed with the premise of my question.
Jon Krosnick is a professor of communication and political science at Stanford University, senior fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, and Frederic O. Glover Professor in Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as the drummer for a jazz band called the Charged Particles that played during the reception after the event. I've written about Krosnick's survey work before, which differs from some other polling by suggesting there is much greater acceptance of the human role in climate change. I wasn't entirely surprised that he disagreed since he's not particularly immersed in science education, although I was surprised at his reasoning.
He riffed on the idea that everyone has their pet projects that they think education will solve, using the example of how during the Vietnam war most people didn't know where Vietnam was. Efforts to improve geography education were promoted with the idea that if more people knew where Vietnam was, it would help stop the war. I grew up during that era and don't recall anyone thinking the war was going to stop from more people knowing where Vietnam was, but he suggested that climate change is like that now: a problem that people mistakenly think will be solved through education.
He admitted that maybe it's important that people know that climate change is happening and is being caused by humans, and his research indicates that they do by and large. But he doesn't think it matters whether they understand the basic science or not, suggesting they should leave it up to the experts, like the people on the panel, to help make the right decisions. He concluded by suggesting the question I'd asked wasn't backed by the data.
What data he was referring to wasn't clear. Yes, there are studies, like the recent Gallup survey, that find education level makes only a slight difference in concern about climate change, but one can argue, as I do, that this is due to the fact that most people never learn any of the basics of climate and energy in school.
"Experts" who dismiss the value of climate change education don't know what the data about climate education actually says: that many teens and adults never learn the essentials, and those that do are generally more concerned and have better knowledge and preparation to make informed decisions. Leaving response to climate change to the experts? How well has worked out so far?
Tempting though it was to debate on the spot with a rebuttal, I let it slide, keeping my proverbial powder dry to fight another day. But it was yet another reminder of how unappreciated climate change education remains even among those who are immersed in it.

Tahlee Baynard, research science manager at Lockheed Martin Space Systems, used a Rubik's Cube last week to illustrate life to a class of teenagers at Los Altos High School.
"Your life is like the Rubik's Cube, it's up to you to figure it out," he said. "You have opportunities every single day. Chase the ones that are important to you."
Baynard was one of many professionals who discussed careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) during Los Altos High School's eighth annual Science and Technology Week Oct. 21-23.
Speakers demonstrated the long-term value of a math and science education to encourage students to take more math and science classes, raise awareness of the variety of related career opportunities, highlight the diverse backgrounds of current professionals and inspire students to think creatively and join the ranks of innovative thinkers for the next generation.
Students attended lectures on an array of STEM-related tools or careers. Several included hands-on participation, such as using robotic surgical equipment and learning how to administer CPR to a victim.
"We are right here in Silicon Valley," said Sarah Malcuso, a long-time Science and Tech Week volunteer. "We have all this amazing stuff going on and we want to share that with the kids."
Intuitive Surgical Inc. provided a hands-on demonstration of the da Vinci Surgical System to explain how the technology enables surgeons to perform delicate and complex operations. Students had the opportunity to sit at the console and manipulate the instruments, while other students observed the operators' actions on a video monitor.
"I've been telling the kids we have 3,000 jobs and they aren't all surgeons," said Nicky Espinosa, engineer at Intuitive Surgical. "There are jobs that run the gamut of skill sets."
Officials from Foothill College's Certified Medical Technician (CMT) program demonstrated ways they handled first-response situations and touted the benefits of their 9-month evening program.
Digital building blocks, 3D printing, how to make a Pixar movie, using an iPhone for musical creation and Facebook mobile apps are just a few of the presentations students could attend during the three-day event.
Speakers shared information on their current projects and described how fundamental science affects their day-to-day work. They explained the preparation needed for the careers and how their own high school experiences influenced them to pursue science and technology beyond graduation.

Perhaps the most singular trait of American homes is the hollow, cardboardy thud of our gypsum-board walls. No one else has anything quite like them. Mind you, if it weren't for World War II, our walls might not sound quite so hollow.
Before the war, American homes were routinely plastered inside--a painstaking process that first required nailing thousands of feet of wooden strips known as lath to the ceiling and walls of every room.
The lath was covered with a coarse layer of plaster called the "scratch coat". The wet plaster squeezed through the gaps in the lath, locking it to the walls and ceiling. Days later, when the scratch coat was dry, a second "brown coat" was applied to make the surfaces roughly flat. This, too, had to dry for several days. Last came the "skim coat", a thin layer of pure white plaster that produced a smooth finished surface, something like the cream cheese topping does on a cheesecake.
Depending on the weather, this process could take days or weeks, during which no other trade could work inside the house. This was how plasterwork had been done for centuries, and there seemed no reason to change.
Then came World War II, and with it an urgent need for military structures ranging from barracks to whole bases. Faced with shortages of both labor and material, Uncle Sam was desperate to find faster and cheaper ways to build. And since beauty was not much of an issue, eliminating plaster was an obvious starting point.
Enter the United States Gypsum Company, which way back in 1916 had invented a building board made of gypsum sandwiched between sheets of tough paper. After more than two decades, the product they called Sheetrock still hadn't really caught on. Even its successful use in most of the buildings at the Chicago's World's Fair of 1933-34 didn't do much for sales. But the urgencies of wartime construction changed all that.
As the government soon came to appreciate, Sheetrock did away with the need for wood lath, multiple plaster coats, and days and days of drying time (hence its generic name, "drywall"). Installation was simple: After the 4x8 sheets were nailed up, the nail holes were filled, paper tape was used to cover the joints, and a textured coating was troweled on to help disguise the defects.
Of course, all this was only meant as a stopgap replacement for plaster, but as you've probably guessed, it didn't turn out that way. By the war's end, many builders who'd gotten used to slapping up drywall were suddenly reluctant to go back to the trouble and expense of plastering.
What's more, Sheetrock's arrival coincided with the rise of modern architecture, which preferred plain, flat surfaces to the fussy moldings and reveals of prewar styles. To Modernist tastes, the fact that Sheetrock couldn't be molded the way wet plaster could was hardly a drawback. People seemed more dismayed by the flimsy cardboardish sound of the walls in their postwar homes, but they soon got used to it.
Flimsy or not, there's no doubt that Sheetrock proved a huge boon to the postwar housing industry. Prior to the war, the typical American developer built about four houses a year. By the late Forties, a developer like the legendary Bill Levitt was able to churn out 17,000 tract homes at Long Island's Levittown, sell them for $7,990 , and still make a thousand dollars profit on each. Mass production was the key to the postwar housing boom, and Sheetrock helped make it happen.
Just something to bear in mind next time your kids smash a doorknob through the bedroom wall.

GILCREST – Brush softball has taken a mighty blow as they begin an incredibly tough run of top 3A teams to begin their season schedule. After batting in a huge win over Greeley Central, the Beetdiggers were forced to face top teams such as no.1 ranked Sterling and now no. 2 ranked Valley.
Brush managed to hold fast to a scoreless three-inning stretch and lit up the scoreboard first as senior Lauren Staley rounded the based for home. Valley answered back swiftly with a fourth inning run to tie the game at 1.
The diamond Diggers even managed to hold off the Vikings through all five innings of play, forcing extra innings that went into the seventh, before Valley made for another run, scoring on a two-out error in the bottom of the seventh to set the Viking win at 2-1.
Brush batters hit in a total of 6, including Mariah Brown (2), Lauren Staley (2), Christina Frick (1) and Lauren Berg (1). Berg also brought in a double on the day.
The Vikings pitched out a total of 12 Brush strikeouts in Gilcrest
Brush starting pitcher, junior Alex Odle pitched 6.2 innings, allowed 8 hits, two earned runs, 3 walks and dished out 3 strikeouts.
Brush, now 1-2, continues to take on tough top teams as they host no.3 ranked 3A defending champions Strasburg in a game rescheduled for Wednesday due to persistent rains that washed out the field on Thursday. Brush will then host multiple opponents during a two-day Brush varsity tournament to be held Sept. 5-6 at Joslin/Needham field.

In February 2012, a Desert Locust outbreak suddenly developed in southwest Libya along the border of Algeria and rapidly spread into adjacent areas of southeast Algeria. Gregarizing adults laid eggs throughout March in both countries. Monitoring and control operations are hampered by the remoteness of the area as well as heightened insecurity due to 2011 events in Libya.
A second generation of hatching commenced in late March and early April in southwest Libya and southeast Algeria where a Desert Locust outbreak is in progress. This is expected to cause locust numbers to increase significantly on both sides of the common border and lead to a potentially dangerous situation in which swarms form and invade the northern Sahel of West Africa at the beginning of summer.
Currently, the hatchlings are forming many dense hopper groups and bands in both countries at densities of more than 5,000 hoppers/sq. metre. Some of the hoppers have reached the second instar stage in Libya while hoppers in Algeria are first instar. The infestations are present in areas where adults laid eggs in late February and throughout March, mainly northwest of Ghat (Libya), extending west to Wadi Tarat and Illizi in Algeria and on the southern side of the Tassili-Ajjer Mountains west of Djanet. New infestations have been found in previously unreported areas north of Ghat on the eastern side of Jebel Idinin. Groups of adults are still present and laying eggs in some areas.
UN-SPIDER is providing support to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in response to the widespread locust outbreak by facilitating access to various satellite imagery over the area. Through the UN-SPIDER Regional Support Office in Kenya (RCMRD) the US satellite EO-1 could already be tasked. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) also tasked Landsat7 acquisitions of the affected area over the next two months. Other options are also being reviewed.

There are a lot of guides out there that will tell you to use their script/bot/service with your serveradmin login details. This is very bad and shows the developers either have functions running that shouldn't be or they have bad security standards. We would take everything that those developers say/do with a grain of salt because their advice can already be thrown out the door.
To properly illustrate how fishy it is take the following analogy. If you were going to pay someone to plant some flowers in your backyard and they told you that they needed to have a master copy of your house key; would you be suspicious? Of course you would! There is no reason why they would need to have the master key to your entire house when they will just be going into your back yard. Asking for serveradmin details is just as serious.
Anytime someone or some thing needs server query details it is really important to just make a query user just for them. You can do this by following these steps.
- Connect to the TeamSpeak 3 client using a new identity
- Give that user Server Admin powers or whatever level of powers you'd like.
- Go to Tools > ServerQuery Login
- Choose the username for your ServerQuery user then press okay
- You now have you login details the username and the password to log in.
The username and password we just made has full control of the server that we just made it in. It essentially made a copy of your user identity and gave it all the same permissions. So, to take away that query login's powers you delete that identity from your server. This is the only safe way to use ServerQuery details don't ever give anyone or anything your serveradmin details.

All Season Tires
All season tires are exactly what the name implies - they have a tread pattern, internal design and rubber compound designed for traction and performance in wet or dry conditions. All season tires are a compromise which means that you don't have to change tires in the winter or summer - no wonder they have become popular worldwide.
All Terrain Tires
All-terrain tires are great for navigating gravel, loose soil, stone, snow and sand. Their tread compound is designed to stay flexible and react to weather or conditions so that you can maintain traction in varying circumstances. Look for the industry's "M + S" symbol which denotes all-terrain tires with all season versatility.
Highway Tires
Highway tires are created with features like spiral-wrapped nylon caps which help maintain low road noise and circumferential grooves which direct water away from the tire to help prevent hydroplaning. If reliable performance and excellent traction are the most important for you, highway tires are a perfect fit.
Mud Tires
Mud terrain tires have to do more than just look tough- they have to get you into the rough places and get you back out again. Mud tires typically have an aggressive tread and deep lugs with self-cleaning bars to eject mud and stones. If you're going off the beaten path then mud tires might be exactly what you need.
Performance Tires
Performance tires offer outstanding cornering and precision handling - that's why you'll often see them on sports coupes, sedans and European sports cars. Performance tires are great if you're going to be handling your car at high speeds and need a tire that can keep up.
Summer Tires
Summer tires are great for your convertible or performance vehicle because they can endure the hot asphalt during summer. High-performance summer tires with tread patterns designed to grip in high heat conditions are essential for climates where hot days are common. If hot climates and performance vehicles is what you're working with, these might be for you.
Touring Tires
If you want a tire that has good road manners but don't want to sacrifice efficiency, touring tires could be a great middle-ground for you. Created to improve the ride quality and performance, this low noise tire is very popular among commuters and commonly seen on crossovers, minivans and sedans.
UHP Tires
UHP tires are for when you really want to push the envelope! With a speed rating of V or greater, UHP tires are designed with a low profile and a soft, sticky tread compound that's designed for excellent traction and steering response. One thing to remember is that UHP tires also have a shorter tread life and are generally unsuited for winter driving or cold temperatures.
Winter Tires
Winter tires are essential for keeping your vehicle and family safe during snow and icy road conditions. We carry snow tires and stud-less winter tires that provide the best grip during snowy weather, as well as studded tires that give you enhanced grip in extreme icy conditions.
Racing Tires
When it comes to racing, your tires can make all the difference. Racing tires tread patterns are optimized for speed and the tire itself is constructed to provide ideal performance in racing scenarios. If you're heading for the podium, racing tires will take you there.
Passenger Tires
Passenger tires are some of the most common tires on the road. That's because they're the perfect option for commuters who are putting a lot of miles in each week. Offering low road-noise, a comfortable ride and versatility without sacrificing performance, these tires are great for compact cars, sedans, minivans, SUVs and crossovers.
Light Truck Tires
Light truck tires are evolving just as fast as the trucks themselves - maybe even faster. Now they're more comfortable than ever and give you car-like handling without sacrificing the aggression, durability and integrity needed to withstand heavy loads Ligh truck tires are indicated with the symbol "LT" in front of their tire sizes.
Commercial Tires
Downtime costs money if you're running delivery vans, trucks or 18-wheelers, that's why commercial tires are made to withstand heavy loads and can provide years of dependable use. If you need a reliable tire that can keep your services on-time and on track, commercial tires may be the answer.
Farm Tires
Farm tires are designed specifically to provide traction and control in varied soil conditions while maintaining minimal soil compaction. If you're looking for excellent traction and cut-and-tear resistance, we have the farm tire to fit your needs. Choose from a large selection of popular farm tire brands including Power King and Firestone.
Industrial Tires
Industrial tires are designed to provide safety and to facilitate productivity as is essential on industrial work sites. With ultra-reliable construction and the ability to take knocks and bumps, this is a tire that will keep your production moving. These tires are ready for a hard day's work everyday.
OTR Tires
Few tires can provide the extraordinary performance that the OTR tire can. This tire is used for earthmovers, skidders, loaders and has many more industry applications. OTR tires have tough tread compounds and are designed to be puncture and tear-resistant - making it the perfect tire for heavy-duty conditions.
Lawn & Garden Tires
An ideal choice for professional landscapers and homeowners, lawn and garden tires come with an extra-strong nylon body to increase resistance to tears and punctures while distributing the vehicle's weight in such a way that it can reduce the impact on your turf. If you have a lot of yard work to do, and don't want to leave the evidence in your tracks - lawn and garden tires are the answer.
Motorcycle Tires
Motorcycle tires can vary depending on the type of riding you plan on doing and the model of your motorcycle or scooter. We carry a large selection of motorcycle tire brands including Kenda, Michelin and Mickey Thompson, so if you need tires you can trust on two wheels, you're in the right place.
Golf Tires
If you need a tire that gives you safe handling and traction but doesn't ruin your finely-manicured turf - you're probably looking for golf tires. These low-pressure tires combine with their feather flotation design to leave minimal trace behind them. Golf tires provide a safe ride while inflicting minimal damage to the surfaces they come in contact with.
Trailer Tires
These tires are intended for trailer axles only, and can withstand long miles of in-line hauling. They're not meant for steering or drive axle applications, and their design offers years of reliable service in trailer applications. Choose from favorites like Gladiator, Carlisle and Goodyear trailer tires.
Antique Tires
Looking for a hard-to-find whitewall or antique tire for your classic car or truck? You're in the right place. We carry dozens of antique tires that are no longer in production and difficult to find at most tire stores. From Coker to Universal we've got the largest selection of antique and vintage tires.
Temp Spare Tires
The "donut" or temp spare tire became popular in the 90s as a temporary replacement for blown or damaged tires. Made for light travel and, ideally, short distances, the temp spare can get you out of a tough spot and back on track to safety if you have trouble on the road. It's a great idea to always keep at least one spare tire handy.
Racing Tires
When it comes to racing, your tires can make all the difference. Racing tires tread patterns are optimized for speed and the tire itself is constructed to provide ideal performance in racing scenarios. If you're heading for the podium, racing tires will take you there.

It all began with a tiny chapel where merchants and pilgrims once stopped off on their travels. Some came to rest, others came for silent contemplation on their way to Santiago de Compostela. St. James' Church is still a place of pilgrimage today. But it is not just the pilgrims who are fascinated by its cultural treasures and by Arp Schnitger's famous Baroque organ.
Pilgrims have been stopping off at St. James' Church to pay their respects to its patron saint from the very beginning. In 1255, it was still a tiny chapel outside the city walls situated on the pilgrimage from Lübeck to Hamburg. Today it is one of the city's major churches. And the pilgrims? They still come, in higher numbers than ever before, in search of the meaning of their lives, as they travel south to the shrine of the Apostle and martyr James the Great.
Inside the church, the fascinating art treasures – for instance the three medieval altars dating back to around 1500, the famous Arp Schnitger organ (the largest preserved Baroque organ in northern Germany) in the west gallery or the tableau of biblical scenes in the organ gallery – attest to cultural and spiritual life since the Middle Ages. All of these artworks were salvaged from the bombs of World War II, which levelled the church to the ground. The windows, however, could not be saved – they had to be recreated to replicate the medieval originals during the church's restoration, which was not completed until 1963. Stained-glass artist Carl Crodel took an almost child-like and naive pleasure in recreating the picturesque stories told in the colourful and figurative windows. They are simple and modest, which is precisely what makes them so special.

German Navy orders Block 2 Rolling Airframe Missiles (RIM-116) from Raytheon
- Posted On
Naval Forces News - Germany
German Navy orders Block 2 Rolling Airframe Missiles (RIM-116) from Raytheon
Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) was awarded a $155.6 million contract to manufacture Block 2 Rolling Airframe Missiles for delivery to the German navy. It represents the largest single RAM award by Germany. The contract was awarded in Raytheon's first quarter of 2013.
RAM is a cooperative program between the U.S. and German governments with industry support from Raytheon and RAMSYS of Germany. The contract calls for production work to be shared between both companies.

"This sale is the result of more than 35 years of unmatched testing achievements and capability improvements," said Dr. Taylor W. Lawrence, president of Raytheon Missile Systems. "It complements the $100 million RAM Block 2 production contracts with the U.S. Navy signed in 2012 and follows our company's 11 critical Block 2 development test flights. RAM is on solid footing to begin government testing in May."
Robust International Fleet Self-defense System
RAM is a supersonic, lightweight, quick reaction, fire-and-forget missile providing defense against anti-ship cruise missiles, helicopter and airborne threats, and hostile surface craft. The missile's autonomous dual-mode, passive radio frequency and infrared guidance design provides a high-firepower capability for engaging multiple threats simultaneously. RAM is aboard nearly 100 ships as an integral self-defense weapon for the navies of Egypt, Germany, Greece, Japan, Republic of Korea, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and the United States.
The RAM Block 2 upgrade includes a four-axis independent control actuator system and an increase in rocket motor capability, increasing the missile's effective range and delivering a significant increase in maneuverability. The improved missile also incorporates an upgraded passive radio frequency seeker and a digital autopilot.
