ADAM2 (Avalanche Device Application Manager?) is a simple bootloader/monitor for the Texas Instrument AR7 System-on-Chip. ADAM2 is used in the following devices: ActiontecGT701, ActiontecGT704, DlinkDslG604t, DlinkDslG624t, NetgearDG834G, LinksysWAG54Gv2, Asmax AR-804gu.
ADAM2 Revision 0.22.02 (C) Copyright 1996-2003 Texas Instruments Inc. All Rights Reserved. (C) Copyright 2003 Telogy Networks, Inc.
ADAM2 includes support for the TI AR7 (16c550 compatible) serial console, TI Ethernet driver (cpmac), TCP/IP, DHCP client, FTP server and FLASH memory writer/eraser.
ADAM2 resides in the mtd2 FLASH partition (0x90000000 virtual KSEG0 == 0x10000000 physical addresses).
Texas Instrument AR7 chip has a tiny (4K) boot-ROM embedded at the 0xBFC00000 (standard MIPS 4KEc reset vector). This code initializes external memory interface (EMIF) and jumps to the 0x90000000 (ADAM2 start).
ADAM2 Serial commands

dumps a standard MIPS 4KEc reset code (internal CPU EEPROM).
If the "dhcp" variable is true, ADAM2 acts as DHCP client on the Eth0 interface.
DHCP options supported:
subnet, timezone, router, timesvr, namesvr, dns, logsvr, cookiesvr, lprsvr, hostname, bootsize, domain, swapsvr, rootpath, ipttl, mtu, broadcast, ntpsrv, wins, requestip, lease, dhcp
ADAM2 FTP access
While booting up the device, it waits for a few seconds for incoming FTP connection. The listening IP-address is stored in "my_ipaddress" environment variable.
# strings mtd3.img | awk '/my_ipaddress/ {getline; print;}' 10.8.8.8 10.48.88.66
My box seems to have it stored twice. In this case, the latter one will be the one to connect to. Login with adam2/adam2 (hard-coded in all ADAM2 -based devices). The ADAM2 ftp commands and some more info can be found at http://www.nettwerked.net/actiontec.html
The recovery application can initiate such an FTP session while ADAM2 is working (usually 5 seconds after the device is rebooted) by sending a special broadcast packet to port 5035. The box goes reboot and waits for incoming FTP connection on assigned IP address.
TODO:(Which Linux process is listening to this port ? cm_ ? lsof required). Here's the output of netstat -lp: http://www.hack.fi/~sibbe/dsl/netstat.txt
UDP broadcast port 5035: (16 bytes) 0x00 0x00 0x16 0x02 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xc0 0xa8 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 UDP response from modem to port 5035: (16 bytes) 0x00 0x00 0x16 0x02 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x00 0xa8 0xc0 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
The 0xc0 0xa8 0x00 0x01 is an assigned IP address: 192.168.0.1 for recovery FTP session.
ADAM2 FTP commands
It's impossible to execute all of these FTP commands from some weird FTP clients (e.g. Windows). Try to telnet to port 21! All commands must be in Uppercase.
$ telnet 10.48.88.66 21 220 ADAM2 FTP Server ready. 530 Please login with USER and PASS. USER adam2 331 Password required for adam2. PASS adam2 230 User adam2 successfully logged in. ls 502 Command not implemented - Try HELP. HELP 502 Command not implemented - Try HELP. SYST 215 UNIX emulated bye ADAM2's FTP Server. GETENV 501 environment variable not set. GETENV * 501 * environment variable not set. GETENV autoload autoload 1 GETENV my_ipaddress 200 GETENV command successful my_ipaddress 10.48.88.66 200 GETENV command successful QUIT 221-Thank you for using the FTP service on ADAM2. 221 Goodbye. $
There are two special "virtual" filenames: env and config.xml, for storing & retrieving ADAM2's variables and /etc/config.xml content respectively.
... 230 User adam2 successfully logged in. ftp> get env 200 Port command successful. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file transfer. 226 Transfer complete. ftp: 1034 bytes received in 0,05seconds 22,00Kbyte/sec)
For sending ADAM2 specific commands you have to use "quote COMMAND" (command should be UPPERCASE).
... ftp> quote GETENV my_ipaddress my_ipaddress 10.48.88.66
It is of course possible to flash a filesystem or a kernel image through FTP access.
... ftp> quote MEDIA FLSH 200 Media set to FLSH. ftp> bin 200 Type set to I. ftp> put fs.bin "fs mtd0" 226 Transfer complete. 2015240 bytes sent in 00:27 (72.45 KB/s) ftp> quote REBOOT 221-Thank you for using the FTP service on ADAM2. 221 Goodbye.
The put command needs that funny destination (the parameter after "fs.bin") where ADAM2 will store the image: "fs", any sequence of characters (example has a space), "mtd", and the partition number. Exception mtd3 - ADAM2 store files with offset, see note below. Also the connection might hang for a while before the transfer starts (while the partition is erased, progress is available on the serial console) - just be patient. This should work with kernel images too, just use mtd1 instead of mtd0.
It is possible to download and run an "ADAM2 application" even without storing it in the Flash. To do so, change mode to "MEDIA SDRAM" and STOR-e a binary image. The image should be in the ADAM2 "go" command format like mtd1 (described below).
ADAM2_dump archive contains an example.
ADAM2 Environment Variables
ADAM2 maintains a set of Environment Variables in a so-called "Non Volatile RAM", emulated by the last FLASH partition mtd3. This partition is split in two: the first 10kB contain the ADAM2 environment variables, while the last 54kB store an XML file detailing the global configuration of Montavista Linux as it was saved by the user.
The Linux /proc/ticfg/env file is a "cooked" interface to the ADAM2 environment variables.
Editing the Environment Variables
There are four ways to read and edit the persistent environment variables used by ADAM2 :
1. Use a serial console and the ADAM2 prompt commands setenv, unsetenv, printenv
2. Use the onboard FTP server's commands SETENV, UNSETENV, GETENV (all caps matter)
3. Use the Linux file /proc/ticfg/env:
# cat /proc/ticfg/env memsize 0x01000000 flashsize 0x00400000 modetty0 38400,n,8,1,hw modetty1 38400,n,8,1,hw bootserport tty0 cpufrequency 150000000 sysfrequency 125000000 bootloaderVersion 0.22.02 ProductID AR7WRD HWRevision Unknown SerialNumber none my_ipaddress 10.48.88.66 maca 00:0F:3D:98:09:F3 usb_vid 0x0 usb_pid 0x0 usb_rndis_mac 00.0d.88.11.03.02 usb_board_mac 00.0d.88.22.03.02 usb_man N/A usb_prod N/A usb_serial 1234567890 prompt Adam2_AR7RD firstfreeaddress 0x9401d328 req_fullrate_freq 125000000 mtd0 0x900a0000,0x903f0000 mtd1 0x90010000,0x900a0000 mtd2 0x90000000,0x90010000 mtd3 0x903f0000,0x90400000 autoload 1 mac_ap 00:0F:3D:98:09:F4 # echo usb_prod Test > /proc/ticfg/env # cat /proc/ticfg/env | grep usb_prod usb_prod Test
4. Edit the first 10kB of the mtd3 mtdblock file with an external hex editor and write it back to /dev/mtd.
WARNING: a corrupt mtd3 may place ADAM2 in a deadlocked state, thus making your device permanently inoperative. Editing mtd3 by hand is NOT recommended.
NVRAM format
Disclaimer: The following information was gained by reverse-engineering the NVRAM memory space storage format. As such, it is not authoritative and is currently incomplete.
ADAM2's environment variables are stored in the first 10kB of mtd3, hence from byte 0x0000 through byte 0x27FF (addresses relative to mtd3).
The "NVRAM" memory space is divided in records.
- A record is 128 bytes long
- There are 80 records in NVRAM
- A record is always padded with 0xFF
- The first record starts on byte 0x0000
There are two kinds of records : records that store an environment variable and empty records. Empty records are simply filled with 0xFF. Records that store an environment variable use the following format :
Capital 'B' or possible Douglas Adams reference
Checksum byte
The least significant byte of the sum of all data bytes
Record index
Index of the record, starting at 0x00
Data length
Length of the record's data, including the 0x00 bytes
variable name+0x00+variable value+0x00
0x0100 42 9B 02 18 6D 6F 64 65 74 74 79 30 00 33 38 34 0x0110 30 30 2C 6E 2C 38 2C 31 2C 68 77 00 FF FF FF FF 0x0120 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 0x0130 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 0x0140 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 0x0150 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 0x0160 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 0x0170 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 0x0180 42 9C 03 18 6D 6F 64 65 74 74 79 31 00 33 38 34 0x0190 30 30 2C 6E 2C 38 2C 31 2C 68 77 00 FF FF FF FF
FIXME : The behaviour of the fixenv command in ADAM2 prompt needs to be addressed here. fixenv rebuilds env space and delete unusable slots.
FIXME : Records may not always be contiguous.
ADAM2 provides two APIs for standalone applications, like OS second stage bootloaders or decompressor.
The first API emulates a MIPS YAMON bootloader. It formed as a "call vector" table, started at the address 0x90000500 (not 0xBFC00500):
#define YAMON_FUNCTION_BASE 0x90000500 /* YAMON Vector table offsets */ #define YAMON_FUNC_PRINT_COUNT_OFS 0x04 #define YAMON_FUNC_EXIT_OFS 0x20 #define YAMON_FUNC_FLUSH_CACHE_OFS 0x2C #define YAMON_FUNC_PRINT_OFS 0x34 #define YAMON_FUNC_REGISTER_CPU_ISR_OFS 0x38 #define YAMON_FUNC_DEREGISTER_CPU_ISR_OFS 0x3c #define YAMON_FUNC_REGISTER_IC_ISR_OFS 0x40 #define YAMON_FUNC_DEREGISTER_IC_ISR_OFS 0x44 #define YAMON_FUNC_REGISTER_ESR_OFS 0x48 #define YAMON_FUNC_DEREGISTER_ESR_OFS 0x4c #define YAMON_FUNC_GETCHAR_OFS 0x50 #define YAMON_FUNC_SYSCON_READ_OFS 0x54
Only 3 YAMON calls are supported (PRINT_COUNT, PRINT, EXIT). Unfortunately, GETCHAR does not work.
The second API is ADAM2's own API. Its gateway address is 0x90000480.
ADAM2 Applications
ADAM2 can load and execute MIPS LE applications in a specific binary format. (One application of this is a Linux Kernel, stored in the mtd1 FLASH partition.)
There is a format to the "ADAM2 application" and mtd1 content, as required by ADAM2's "go" command.
Record #1 Offset: ---------- 0x00000000 SIGNATURE: .word 0xfeedfa42 ; NL! ADAM2 MIPS LE signature 0x00000004 LENGTH1: .word xxxx ; NL! Record #1 Length 0x00000008 ADDRESS1: .word 0x94192000 ; NL! RAM Address to load Record #1 .code 0x0000000c app: nop ; The first loaded instruction ; (will be loaded at ADDRESS) ... 0x0001000x _main: addiu sp, -0x5c0 ; Application entry point ... 0x0001000x j ra addui sp, 0x5c0 .end 0x0002xxxx CHECKSUM1: .word xxxx ; NL! Record #1 CHECKSUM
Record #2 Offset ---------- 0x0002xxxx LENGTH2: .word 0 ; NL! Record #2 length (==0x0) 0x0002xxxx ADDRESS2: .word _main ; NL! Application entry point 0x0002xxxx CHECKSUM2: .word 0x6be6xxxx ; NL! Record #2 CHECKSUM
NL! -- Not Loaded
There is tiny ADAM2_dump utility to dump an application's information. If you have a full firmware image you should disassemble it before using adam2_dump.
$ ./adam2_dump DLinkUK_DSL-G604T_kernel_V1.00B02T02.UK.20040618 ADAM2 application Header: ADAM2 Magic= 0xfeedfa42 - GOOD! ADAM2 application Record #1 Header: LENGTH = 0x0006cd8f (445839) ADDRESS = 0x94198000 .......... DATA CHECKSUM = 0x688e3589 ADAM2 application Record #2 Header: LENGTH = 0x00000000 ADDRSESS = 0x94198000 (entry point) CHECKSUM = 0x6be68000 Compressed kernel image found! Offset = 0x4b60 (19296), Length = 0x6823b (426555) LZMA z7 compressed image. File is signed by TI_chksum.
The ADAM2_app contains an ADAM2 MIPS sample application (without decompressor, ofcource). You need a MIPS toolchain installed to build it.
ADAM2 sourcecode
ADAM2 sourcecode is available as part of the Linksys GPL tarball.
Direct link to Linksys FTP
GPL code is also available on SF.net Files
Linux firmware
Linux firmware consists of 3 parts: Linux kernel + FS image + Config data
There is a Windows firmware recovery/update utility, which disassembles the entire firmware and stores it in the mtd partitions.
FLASH layout (sorted by mtdN number):
mtd0 - CRAMFS image (for root filesystem) mtd1 - Linux kernel (in ADAM2 application format) mtd2 - ADAM2 mtd3 - Environment variables and Linux XML configuration data
It is possible to "repartition" a FLASH, just change an ADAM2 variables:
mtd0 0x900a0000,0x903f0000 mtd1 0x90010000,0x900a0000 mtd2 0x90000000,0x90010000 mtd3 0x903f0000,0x90400000
Note: the partitions are not in order. The mtd2 partition (64Kb) is the ADAM2 code and must be at address 0x90000000! The mtd3 is a NVRAM space and occupies the last 64Kb of FLASH. Linux kernel MTD driver will find all partitions automatically.
Linux kernel Boot sequence
ADAM2 automatically executes a "go" command to load and run the contents of mtd1, provided there is no activity on the Serial console, "autoload" is true and "autoload_timeout" is exceeded. Usually the mtd1 (0x90010000) contains a compressed Linux kernel image.
ADAM2's "go" command moves mtd1 content to the RAM ADDRESS1 and runs it. This piece of code (zlib/LZMA piggyback) decompresses Linux kernel to RAM address 0x94020000, and runs it there. The decompressor uses ADAM2's "call vector" API to print a string on successful decompression.
The /proc/iomem contains a list of the physical addresses; to get the corresponding virtual kernel (KSEG0) addresses, add 0x80000000.
# cat /proc/iomem 00000000-13ffffff : reserved 14000000-1401ffff : System RAM 14020000-14ffffff : System RAM 14020000-14169fdf : Kernel code 14176300-14191fff : Kernel data a8612800-a8612fff : eth0 #
Live Linux Kernel symbols (sorted) :
# cat/proc/ksyms ... 94024000 invalid_pte_table_Re30a91e5 94026000 init_task_union_R56b55918 94028a00 kernel_thread_R7e9ebb05 94028a68 get_wchan_R182e7552 9402c5a0 machine_restart_Re6e3ef70 9402c5c4 machine_halt_R9aa32630 9402c5e8 machine_power_off_R091c824a ...
Recovery app
Enrik Berkhan has written a perl program "recover" that mimics "recover.exe" for non-Windows users. It works for the AVM Fritz!Box device. Modifying it for the D-Link DSL-G604T should be trivial...
http://www.akk.org/~enrik/fbox/util/recover (perl script)
[Alternate link] http://web.archive.org/web/20041120225126/http://www.akk.org/~enrik/fbox/recover (perl script)
http://www.akk.org/~enrik/fbox/recovery.txt (German Language)
Linux config
The /dev/ticfg is a "raw" interface to the second half of the mtd3, where the /etc/config.xml stored:
# cat /dev/ticfg
The first two bytes seem to be a data length.
The entirety of mtd3 (/dev/mtdblock/3) contains a "raw" data of the ADAM2 environment and the config.xml data.
Retrieving MTD content
How to get a content of the any MTDs on running Linux:
As it is known, a ram-disk is mounted on /var. The idea is to copy a bulk MTD content to the /var and run a second copy of the thttp server to get it.
# cat /dev/mtdblock/2 > /var/mtd2.bin # cat /dev/mtdblock/3 > /var/mtd3.bin # /usr/sbin/thttpd -g -d /var -u root -p 1080
Then, open a following URL in any browser: "http://192.168.1.1:1080/" and get a mtd2.bin (ADAM2 code) and mtd3.bin (device configuration) files from this folder.
It is possible, of course, to use Busybox's TFTP command.

A von Willebrand factor (vWF) antigen test measures the quantity of a protein called von Willebrand factor that helps blood to clot. A clot is a lump of blood that the body produces to prevent excessive bleeding by sealing leaks in blood vessels caused by wounds, cuts, scratches, and other conditions.
The blood's ability to clot is a complex process involving platelets (also called thrombocytes) and proteins called clotting factors. Platelets are oval-shaped cells made in the bone marrow. Most clotting factors are made in the liver. Some, like factor VIII and vWF, which circulate in the body bound to one another, are made in blood vessel walls.
When a blood vessel breaks, platelets are first to the area to help seal the leak and temporarily stop or slow bleeding. But for the clot to become strong and stable, the action of clotting factors is required.
The body's 12 clotting factors are numbered using the Roman numerals I through XII. They work together in a specialized sequence, almost like pieces of a puzzle. When the last piece is in place, the clot develops — but if even one piece is missing or defective, the puzzle can't come together.
Von Willebrand factor is involved in the early stages of blood clotting. As the platelets gather at the injury site, vWF acts like glue, helping them stick together to stop the bleeding.
Sometimes, though, children are born with an abnormal gene that causes them to produce too little vWF, or a defective version of it. The result is a bleeding disorder known as von Willebrand disease.
Variations of von Willebrand disease range from mild to severe. In most cases, the genetic mutation that causes the disease is hereditary, but it may occur spontaneously as well.
Doctors order the vWF antigen test to help diagnose or monitor the treatment of von Willebrand disease. Symptoms of von Willebrand disease can include easy bruising, frequent nosebleeds, excessive bleeding after a mouth injury or dental work, abnormal menstrual bleeding, or, in infant boys, prolonged bleeding after circumcision.
Von Willebrand disease also may be suspected when a child has a family member with a bleeding disorder.
This test is frequently performed along with other tests that give doctors a fuller picture of clotting ability. These may include:
Because factor VIII circulates in the body attached to vWF, a decreased amount of factor VIII can also mean a decreased amount of vWF.
No special preparations are needed for this test. Tell the doctor if your child takes any blood-thinning medications, because these may affect the results. On the day of the test, it may help to have your child wear a short-sleeve shirt to allow easier access for the technician who will be drawing the blood.
A health professional will usually draw the blood from a vein. If the blood is being drawn from a vein, the skin surface is cleaned with antiseptic, and an elastic band (tourniquet) is placed around the upper arm to apply pressure and cause the veins to swell with blood. A needle is inserted into a vein (usually in the arm inside of the elbow or on the back of the hand) and blood is withdrawn and collected in a vial. A chemical in the vial keeps the blood from clotting before the test begins.
After the procedure, the elastic band is removed. Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed and the area is covered with cotton or a bandage to stop the bleeding. Collecting blood for this test will only take a few minutes.
Collecting a sample of blood is only temporarily uncomfortable and can feel like a quick pinprick. Afterward, there may be some mild bruising, which should go away in a day or so.
At the lab, the blood cells are separated from the plasma (the liquid part of the blood). The test measures the total amount of vWF protein in the plasma.
Tests results, which are usually available after several days, are reported as a percentage of what would be expected in normal plasma. A person with 20% to 40% of the normal amount of vWF would likely have a mild form of von Willebrand disease. A person with less than 10% would have a more severe form.
The vWF antigen test is considered a safe procedure. However, as with many medical tests, some problems can occur with having blood drawn:
Having a blood test is relatively painless. Still, many children are afraid of needles. Explaining the test in terms your child can understand might help ease some of the fear.
Allow your child to ask the technician any questions he or she might have. Tell your child to try to relax and stay still during the procedure, as tensing muscles and moving can make it harder and more painful to draw blood. It also may help for your child to look away when the needle is being inserted into the skin.
If you have questions about the vWF antigen test, speak with your doctor. You can also talk to the technician before the procedure.

Shame is a hinderance to education.
In Brené Brown's "Listening to Shame," she describes the difference between guilt and shame: guilt is "I made a mistake" and shame is "I am a mistake." By accepting these definitions, can it not be assumed that shame is not needed in schools? If shame is a personal opinion of oneself, is it not then only a hinderance to gaining an education?
In an article that I wrote recently(jakefrackson.wordpress.com - You Should be Ashamed of Yourself), I discuss shame and its role in education systems. I explore the use of shame and why, I believe, it is not necessary.
Working with the definition of shame above, is shame a hinderance to education?

Kayla SwingNov 2 2012: Shame does have effect education. Whether it is someone who regularly struggles with learning or someone who normally excels, it can have a very negative impact. For students who may not be the top in the class, shame could cause them to drop out. It is just as hard on the student who is driven to get that 100% too. I saw a presentation recently on the book, "The Overachievers" by Alexandra Robins which had a very similar theme to this topic. Some of the facts and cases from it were quite appalling, but it showed how far this concept of shame from education can go.
I think that the shame of not excelling in school is given in the hopes that it will make someone try harder and strive to do better. But I don't think that it isn't often taken in by the student like that. It is considered instead as something more personal, because a judgement of something you have done is like a judgement of you.

More Heidi Montag Publicity-Stunt Ideas
Come on, Montag! Having a baby is so (yawn) 2009.
momlogic's Momstrosity: Word on the gossip street has it that Heidi Montag is fearful her requisite 15 minutes of fame are ticking away. According to In Touch Weekly, a "friend" of the heavily reconstructed star (and with friends like this, who need enemies), told the tabloid, "It seems like she'll do anything to stay relevant." According to this frenemy source, that even means having a baby. Weird: I had a baby and didn't get ANY publicity out of it. When I called the paps to let them know I was changing my umpteenth diaper, no one even showed.
If this rumor is true, Heidi needs to know that anyone can have a baby. Heck, even a man can do it -- just ask Thomas Beatie! But Heidi: Please, please don't bring a child into this world just to get on the cover of People again! Instead, use a few of these tried-and-true headline-grabbing ploys. I'm sure they could whip up a media firestorm much faster.
1) Top the Octomom!
Don't just have ONE kid, have nine, or 10, or .... Heck, depending on whether or not you can find a doc who'll do the procedure, you can go for even more! I can see the headlines now (and the inevitable reality show): "Heidi and Spencer Pratt Plus 20 Brats."
Never underestimate the effect of a little petty crime. Winona Ryder got some great publicity from her five-finger-discount shopping spree. All you need to do is duck into Fred Segal, tuck some designer socks down your low-rider jeans and your mug shot will INSTANTLY show up on TMZ.
3 Take to the skies!
Team up with Richard Heene (once he gets out of jail, that is). Have him build you a "flying saucer" and then catapult you into the wide blue yonder. Don't forget to call the media first!
4) Crash the White House!
Team up with socialites Michaele and Tareq Salahi and go to a White House shindig uninvited. Or better yet, crash Buckingham Palace and cause a worldwide sensation! Blimey!
That's interesting portfolio and I am always looking for this kind of stuff. I hope you will be adding more in future. Thanks for sharing

"The 2004 Merlot Paradise Hills Vineyard (1,100 cases) includes a dollop of Cabernet Franc in the blend. It exhibits gorgeous notes of chocolate, espresso, plums, blackberries, and cherries. Full-bodied with terrific intensity and opulence, it makes a dramatic statement about how great Napa Merlot can be. It should drink beautifully for 15 or more years.

"Deep, complex nose combines plum syrup, violet, tobacco, licorice, minerals and game; there's something quite Bordeaux-like about this.

text: Duluth, MN (KDAL) - A longtime voice of northeastern Minnesota was remembered this afternoon at the DECC. Jim Oberstar, who represented the eighth congressional district for decades, passed away unexpectedly last month. Around 300 of his fans and supporters came together to remember Oberstar's legacy and to support his family, who was on hand for the event. Among those who spoke were Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, Duluth Mayor Don Ness and Governor Mark Dayton. The memorial service opened with a video montage touching on the congressman's work and accomplishments in the eighth district. The event was held in the Harbor Side Ballroom.

Customer Reviews
Ive used several other brands of lighted nocks and these are by far the best, in both quality and reliablity. Never had one not work, and Ive had two out of three noth work right out of the package with other brands, I have them on my arrows and my bolts. I highly recoment them.
I have only shot one of these and it worked just like it was meant to
Fits my gold tip perfectly and are nice and bright.
Only complaint is lack of color choice. These are the best lighted nocks I have found. Made in the USA, deep in the heart of Texas.
Received just as expected - timely and no issues. These are incredible lighted nocks! My son uses the same and smoked a doe early in bow season. That arrow stayed in the field for two days and still had noticable light at dark on the second night!
I gambled on the product fitting my arrows, but they were the right size. the on-off switch is troubling.

Two Stewart Avenue students of art teacher Melissa Pashayan were selected by Anton Newspapers to be featured in its 2014-15 calendar. Third-graders Vanessa Law (pictured at right), who created a winter landscape, and Gabriel Psilakis's cave art project each received its own month, and were featured on the calendar cover. "It was very exciting to see the students' artwork in big print," said Ms. Pashayan. "For the polar bears, the students created a snowy landscape using chalk pastels and then drew their own polar bears. For the cave art project, I demonstrated how to crumple, rip, and paint paper to represent the inside of a cave wall. The students then drew animals on the paper using oil pastels. I am really proud of the work my students created."

"I look forward to supporting the students here. To support their growth, help prepare them so that they have all the tools they need to be successful when they leave here. To be successful in their life and maximize their potential," Abruzzo said of her plans for the new position.

At 6 a.m on a blustery Saturday morning, 1600 people arrived at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park to participate in the 27th annual Runner's Edge Tobay Triathlon and Tri-Relay Race. The participants were drawn from a wide age range. They came from all over Long Island and upstate New York, a few were from out of state, and in some cases, had disabilities. But they all came with one goal in mind — to finish.
Jeffrey Hussey, a 28-year-old Garden City resident, has done this race three times and this was his fifth triathlon this summer.

Protect Acadia National Park
Our national parks have been called "America's best idea," and Acadia is living proof. Yet parcels of land within Acadia National Park are privately owned and therefore vulnerable to development — and when the land comes up for sale, the park lacks the resources to purchase it. If Maine's senators commit to fixing the Land and Water Conservation Fund, Acadia can get the protection it needs.
Hundreds of places in Acadia at risk of development
At Acadia, families and friends have a unique opportunity to experience Maine's most striking natural beauty — from taking in the views of Frenchman's Bay atop Cadillac Mountain to biking on the 45 miles of carriage roads to exploring trails like the Precipice and Beehive.
Yet, Acadia is scattered with "holes" — about 130 tracts of land within the park that are privately owned and at risk of being developed. When people who own this land want to sell it to the park so it's permanently protected, they can't — because the park doesn't have the resources to purchase it.
As a result, iconic places like Burnt Porcupine Island and Rum Key are not permanently protected. These gorgeous undeveloped islands are covered with shingle beaches, steep cliffs, and forests that support an array of coastal species, including the bald eagle. If houses were built on the islands, they would threaten these unique ecosystems and be highly visible from the park.
We need to protect every acre of Acadia for future generations.
Unfortunately, with Acadia suffering from chronic budget shortfalls, it's too easy to picture treasured pieces of Maine's natural heritage being sold off to the highest bidder.
Maine's senators have the opportunity to protect Acadia
Each year, Congress raids the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the program dedicated to protecting treasured places like Acadia National Park, and uses the money for other purposes.
But Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King have the chance to fix the program so that Acadia has the resources it needs to permanently protect all of the land within its boundaries. Environment Maine is bringing citizens together to convince Sens. Collins and King to make protecting Acadia a top priority in the new Congress and leave a lasting legacy for future generations of Mainers.
If enough of us speak out, we can ensure Acadia is protected, forever. Join our campaign by sending Sens. Collins and King a message today.
Urge Sens. Collins and King to protect Acadia National Park
Key Facts
- Nearly 130 "holes" within Acadia National Park are privately owned and lack permanent protection.
- Burnt Porcupine Island and Rum Key — home to Bald Eagles and other endangered wildlife — are potentially at risk of development.
- Your action and support can help us protect Acadia—in the same way that it helped us defend the North Woods from rollbacks.

Video-based Classes
Don't think of "on-line" learning when you come to Kettering, because we do distance learning differently than most. That's because we give you the entire classroom experience whenever you want and wherever you are. Other places expect you to teach yourself by reading on-line materials and textbooks, with some interactive on-line discussion boards.
But at Kettering University, you'll watch and hear our professors as they teach you the topics you need to know to help advance your career. You'll learn just like you would in a traditional college class- but with added benefits. Our faculty teach graduate classes in Kettering's high-tech video studios for our on-campus graduate students.
We record the entire classroom experience: professor lecture, case studies, class discussion, student questions, presentation, and supplemental materials. Next, we create a weekly class packet for our off-campus distance learning students by duplicating the classroom experience onto DVD and CD-Rom, as well as videostreaming it to our website. We ship the materials to you each week or you log on to our website. Then you watch the lectures & complete materials when it fits your schedule. Check out a sample class clip.
You're still required to complete assignments, projects, and tests as you would expect in a highly-respected and rigorous graduate program. You just won't have to commute to a local campus or commit to a scheduled day & time each week to "attend" class. You can fit us into your schedule. So you can decide to watch class on Tuesday night after the kids go to bed or on Friday during your flight back from corporate headquarters. Or maybe Saturday morning before the big game...we'll let you be in control.
The benefits of the Kettering Graduate Program:
- attend classes by watching class videos when it fits your schedule;
- no commuting to a local campus...classes arrive to your doorstep or accessed on-line;
- complete your masters degree from the convenience of your living room;
- no need to commit to a given day & time for a scheduled class;
- Kettering University is highly-respected and highly-ranked by US News and World Report, Kaplans, and Princeton Review;
- improve your work while completing class assignments: class projects encourage you to use your work as a "laboratory" by applying class concepts to develop improved work processes;
- direct access to professors through phone, e-mail, office hours, discussion boards, and more to help answer your questions;
- review class videos more than once to better understand materials that you may have missed;
- you receive the same diploma as our on-campus students receive; there is no differentiation between on-campus or distance learning programs.

MADISON, WI (WSAU) - A De Pere State Senator who strongly believes wind turbines can be a real danger is preparing legislation allowing people to sue the turbine owners and the land owners.
Republican Frank Lasee's bill would enable people harmed by 500 food industrial wind turbines to sue for damages, including the loss of property value, medical expenses, moving costs, attorney fees, and pain and suffering due to wind towers that are too close to the victim's property.
Lasee has sought a moratorium wind turbine construction based on studies that show the dangers to those who reside too close to the turbines. The Public Service Commission says the "scientific evidence does not support a conclusion that wind turbines cause adverse health outcomes."
As of last year, Wisconsin had 11 commercial wind farms producing 634 megawatts of electricity.

Over 250 student leaders from colleges throughout Western New York participated in the Be the Change Student Leadership Conference at Medaille on Saturday, April 2. This all-day event drew students and staff from Niagara University, SUNY Brockport, Hilbert College, Buffalo State College, Daemen College, Canisius College, D'Youville College and the University at Buffalo. Sessions included Athletic Leadership, Diversity, How to be a "Super" Supervisor, Mediation, and Living Your
Life in a Digital Fishbowl.
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more
effective leader. My capstone class gave insight on how to combine all
the education learned to operate a business. That's when I realized how
much I had sharpened my knowledge.

A luxury to be enjoyed by all! This 12" Vase illustrates the painstaking expert craftsmanship which has made Waterford synonymous with elite fine crystal for generations. It makes a dramatic statement on any shelf or mantle! Limited Edition Size of 60. Gilded in 12K yellow gold.
60 years ago, Miroslav Havel, designer of some of Waterford's most iconic patterns including Lismore, reached back to Georgian times to capture the romance, charm and magic of the Emerald Isle as inspiration for Colleen, a beloved Waterford Crystal pattern that continues to transcend the test of time. In 2013, Waterford Crystal will celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Colleen, honoring this legendary cut pattern with special commemorative crystal creations including limited edition pieces from the designers at the House of Waterford Crystal.

This hair and beauty salon in Orpington high street is rather extravagant. It feels as though they have tried to make an effort to be stylish and unique but it comes across a little tacky. The girls that work there are lovely and there are a range of beauty treatments to visit The Lounge for. It is a place to relax and be pampered and to some people that is all that matters. I find The Lounge to be a bit too expensive and I am also rather loyal to other hairdressers in which I have been to a great deal more often.
I agree with the assessment below; it is visually a little tacky.
They do offers during the week and the staff are friendly. BUT, the technical side varies wildly, the hair washes have been consistently bad pick a combination of rushed, only washing the top part of your hair, not rinsing completely, being very rough. They do seem to be in a rush which I find anything but relaxing but it was convenient and we're all busy.
UPDATE: Last time I visited was simply a disaster. I felt like I was constantly saying no/please stop that/what is that you're about to spray in my hair/pls stop digging into my scalp/my hair colour isn't right to the point that I went straight home, washed my hair again as there was still tint on the scalp and popped a hat on it to cover the mess of patchy colour and very irritated skin.
I'm now having a colour correction service elsewhere once the irritation has gone down(!) and needless to say, never going back.

Preeclampsia: Creatinine Clearance Test
Last Revised: November 5, 2012
Author: Healthwise Staff
Medical Review: Sarah Marshall, MD - Family Medicine & William Gilbert, MD - Maternal and Fetal Medicine
When muscles use energy, they release a waste product called creatinine into the blood. The kidneys then filter creatinine from the blood. From the kidneys, creatinine passes out of the body through the urinary tract. If the kidneys are not functioning normally, high amounts of creatinine remain in the blood while low amounts are passed out in the urine.
During a normal pregnancy, increased blood volume and kidney function cause an increase in the amount of creatinine filtered out of the blood and passed into the urine. A measurement of this amount is called the creatinine clearance value. If the kidneys are damaged by preeclampsia, the creatinine clearance value decreases because the kidneys are filtering less creatinine out of the blood. The amount of kidney damage can be estimated by the amount of decrease in the creatinine clearance value.
The creatinine clearance test requires a blood sample and a sample of all the urine collected for 24 hours (24-hour urine sample).
For more information, see the topic Creatinine and Creatinine Clearance.

Fort Lauderdale – Owing to the national championship game, our weekly Heat Check emanates from warm environs. We begin, however, with professional football.
FALCONS: It has already started. The No. 1 seed hasn't yet stuck its toe in playoff waters, and again we're hearing that it's out of its depth. The local franchise sits behind five other teams on the odds-to-win-the-Super-Bowl tote board, and it's even with Seattle, which has to play in the Georgia Dome on Sunday. Technically the Falcons are a two-point favorite over the Seahawks, which is the same tepid betting line the 13-3 Birds faced when playing host to Green Bay two years ago. And they lost that one 48-21. Atmospheric reading: I've been saying since August that these Falcons are different. Here's where they prove me right.
GEORGIA: Won the Capital One Bowl, lost Jarvis Jones and Alec Ogletree to the NFL, kept Aaron Murray. That

Remy International Inc. Stock Upgraded (REMY)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Auto Components industry. The net income increased by 7964.3% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $1.20 million to $96.53 million.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is somewhat low, currently at 0.67, and is less than that of the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively successful effort in the management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.09, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $34.84 million or 13.58% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow, REMY INTERNATIONAL INC's cash flow growth rate is still lower than the industry average growth rate of 43.17%.
- The gross profit margin for REMY INTERNATIONAL INC is rather low; currently it is at 21.40%. Regardless of REMY's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, REMY's net profit margin of 34.79% significantly outperformed against the industry.
- REMY has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 18.15% from its price level of one year ago. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.

Seriously, I have had enough!
I am a loyal Blazer fan. I have suffered through hope after hope after hope waiting for the Blazers to finally bring home a trophy. I am all for waiting some more, but at the same exact time, if we can get an elite PG like Chris Paul, without having to give up too much, we HAVE to do it.
I don't understand how
So, the break from basketball is finally here. Summer league is over. The "summer of Lebron" is finally over. The Lakers are champs again. The Blazers fired and hired a GM, and gave the coaching staff a make-over. We have another new guard, to go along with our new draftees, and didn't lose any major pieces. Okay....I am ready and waiting for OCTOBER already!

awwww, glad i have mine
LOL my friend really thinks he can get one on launch day. I'm waiting for my white one =.=
Wow. If it's not supply shortages it's regulatory barriers.
"Sorry, Apple made plenty of iPhone 4's for launch but our government would only allow 100 in the country"
damn -.- i've been waiting so long now (austria) for this f****** great iphone. i got my iphone 1gen now since it released in the us and now i want the new. and after a year my display was broken but it still works perfectly good job apple. but how long i have to wait nor for the iphone 4?!
anyway i hope to get it on friday!!
I think there will be shortages because everyone in Luxembourg will buy one, and that's almost 50,000 iPhones gone
I thought there would be a long wait when i ordered 1 last night. Its been dispatched and will be with me tomorrow. Result
I think it is because they are secretly fixing the antenna issue!
If it's not a marketing strategy of some sort, I really hope Apple finally learns from these situations and prepare better for future launches.
Bought 3 iPhone 4's for my buddies overseas, The things Apple does for it's Military
"most successful product launch to date" yeah right, waiting almost 4 weeks for mine !! WTF!?
"this changes everything" sure does, never in the history of wireless has there been such a mess !!
Successful to their pocket books, but unsuccessful in customer relations hence the Galaxy exodus.
Don't understand Apple push to sell only black iPhone 4 first and the international push with little to no supply. It makes this whole release process look like a mess and leaves Apple no room for errors.....which happened with this intenna and bumper issue. They have too much going on at once that I have to wait for my dag on white iPhone 4!!!!!
I still don't have my iPhone 4
Hurry up and deliver it Apple.

GARY | The regional director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services answered questions about the federal Affordable Care Act during a session Friday at Ivy Tech Community College.
Kenneth Munson said the act addresses issues in the private insurance system and Medicaid and Medicare. Changes will increase coverage for more people and improve their quality of care, he said.
"It works to change some of the worst practices of the private health insurance system," Munson said about the law, which recently was upheld as constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Munson's talk was sponsored by the Lake County Minority Health Coalition.
"Since (the law) passed, there have been so many questions in my community," said Rosie Thomas, Indiana Minority Health Coalition executive director. "Everyone is happy, but they truly don't know what the long-term benefits are going to be and how it's going to affect them."
Under the act, insurance companies no longer will be able to deny coverage to anyone with a pre-existing health condition — a rule that already exists for children. Everyone will be included in 2014, and insurance companies will not be able to charge higher premiums for people with pre-existing conditions.
The law also means more people will be eligible for Medicaid.
"It will cost money, but for a lot of folks who don't have Medicaid or Medicare or private insurance, it's costing money, anyway, because they're getting care ... when it's too late," Munson said. "It costs money, but it saves money because you don't have people going in for care at the worst and most expensive time.

- 1 (8-ounce) block 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Brownie batter:
- 4.5 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 large egg
- Cooking spray
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°.
- 2. To prepare cheesecake batter, place cheese in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add granulated sugar and peppermint extract; beat well. Add 1 egg and 1 egg white; beat well. Add 1 tablespoon flour; beat mixture just until blended.
- 3. To prepare brownie batter, weigh or lightly spoon 4.5 ounces (about 1 cup) flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine 4.5 ounces flour, cocoa, and salt in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Combine brown sugar, oil, buttermilk, vanilla, 2 egg whites, and 1 egg in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium-high speed until well blended. Add flour mixture to brown sugar mixture; beat at low speed just until blended.
- 4. Reserve 1/2 cup of brownie batter. Pour remaining batter into a 9-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Carefully pour cheesecake batter over top; spread evenly to edges. Dot cheesecake batter with reserved brownie batter. Swirl top two layers of batters together using the tip of a knife. Bake at 350° for 26 minutes or until top is set. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
You can tint the cheesecake batter with two or three drops of red food coloring to give it a pink tinge, if you like. When swirling the cheesecake and brownie batters in step 4, don't disturb the bottom brownie layer. Cool these bars completely before serving.

All of my previous selves still survive somewhere inside of me, and my previous adolescent would have loved "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." The movie has received glowing reviews, and some snarky ones that seem to have been written by previous adults. The film is about an alienated high-school freshman who sees himself as a chronic outsider, and then is befriended by a group of older kids who embrace their non-conformist status.
The movie confirms one of my convictions: If you are too popular in high school, you may become so fond of the feeling that you never find out who you really are. The film is based on Stephen Chbosky's best-selling young-adult novel, which was published in 1999 and is now on many shelves next to The Catcher in the Rye. It offers the rare pleasure of an author directing his own book, and doing it well. No one who loves the book will complain about the movie, and especially not about its near-ideal casting.
The story, set in the early 1990s, tells the story of Charlie (Logan Lerman), who begins it as a series of letters to a "friend." He enters high school tremulously and without confidence, and is faced on his first day by that great universal freshman crisis: Which table in the lunchroom will they let me sit at? Discouraged at several tables, he's welcomed by two smart and sympathetic seniors.
They are Sam and Patrick, played by Emma Watson in her own coming-of-age role after the "Harry Potter" movies, and Ezra Miller, who was remarkable as an alienated teenager in "We Need to Talk About Kevin." Charlie makes the mistake of assuming they are a couple, and Sam's laughter corrects him; actually, they're half-siblings. Charlie is on the edge of outgrowing his depression and dorkdom, and is eerily likable in his closed-off way. One of the key players in his life is the dead aunt (Melanie Lynskey) he often has imaginary meetings with.
Patrick is tall, gangly and gay; Sam is friendly and lovable. Charlie gets a quick crush on her, but she explains she has a b.f. and encourages his friendship. Through them, he meets the quasi-punk Mary Elizabeth (Mae Whitman), who definitely is interested in dating him, and a pothead named Bob (Adam Hagenbuch), who nudges Charlie toward adventures most teenagers have once in life, and few should have twice.
We learn a lot about their high school crowd by finding out they're instrumental in the local midnight showings of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." When Charlie is unexpectedly pressed into service playing a key role one night during their performance, it provides him with a turning point that may be contrived but is certainly entertaining.
Their crowd is artsy, outsider, non-conformist. They become the influence that rescues Charlie from his deep insecurity and his depression over the suicide of a friend; they teach him it's OK to be who he is. In his first year, he learns a little, very tentatively, about sex, drinking and drugs, and a lot about friendship.
He's also guided by Mr. Anderson (Paul Rudd), his English teacher, who steers him toward seminal books including, yes, The Catcher in the Rye. Why is it that English, drama and music teachers are most often recalled as our mentors and inspirations? Maybe because artists are rarely members of the popular crowd.

Sting sales send crack seller to jailFebruary 15,2014WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — A Springfield man is heading to jail for selling crack cocaine.
William Aviles, 36, pleaded guilty Thursday in White River Junction criminal court to a felony count of cocaine sales. He was sentenced to two to four years in jail. The judge also recommended that Aviles participate in the state Department of Corrections' work camp program which could result in less time behind bars.
In May, police said a confidential informant told them about buying drugs from Aviles "for numerous years" and offered to cooperate.
Court records stated that on two occasions that month detectives watched as the informant went to Aviles' home. The informant met Aviles at his door and then they walked to Aviles' garage. Each time the informant purchased two grams of crack cocaine rocks at a price of $100 per gram, according to court records.
Aviles was arraigned on the felony sail of cocaine charge in June.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryStaff Report Full Story
