Tri-University Distance Education Partnership
By moniquegarcia on Wed, 07/17/2013 - 1:52pm
Society-Ready Graduates
Research Year:2002
Arizona's three public universities are located in Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff, leaving rural areas of the state unserved for academic programs in agriculture unless students matriculate to the University of Arizona. Distance education allows students to complete a bachelor's degree without leaving their home towns.
Description of Action:
Interactive television courses are offered in Yuma, Coolidge and on the University of Arizona campus as part of a collaboration between the UA College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Central Arizona College's Signal Peak campus near Coolidge, and Arizona Western College in Yuma, using microwave television technology provided by Northern Arizona University. Specially equipped classrooms in all three locations enable students to interact with the teacher and each other simultaneously. Live class sessions are transmitted from Tucson to Yuma and Coolidge, and also from Yuma to Tucson. Students enroll at the community colleges for lower division coursework and then take the distance courses through NAU and the UA to complete their degrees.
In the year 2002, this cooperative inter-institutional arrangement enabled more than 70 students to take agricultural courses from the university of Arizona without leaving their home towns. The program fulfills one of the Arizona Board of Regents priorities: to expand access to the university. These are nontraditional students, and in the case of those in Yuma, nearly all work full time. The program enabled the cooperating institutions to arrange their curriculum to include each other's courses and thus expand their programs without hiring extra faculty to teach duplicate courses on each campus. As a result of this program, Northern Arizona University has accepted several agricultural science courses from the University of Arizona as electives for their general education requirements.

What is the best way to making a great pavlova base?
The secrets: (some are old wives tales, but hey, it's an old recipe)
Eggs: Room temperature (you don't put eggs in the fridge do you?) and not fresh
Contamination: Make sure everything you use to prepare the base is perfectly clean, especially no grease. Use boiling water to rinse everything first. Metal or glass bowls are best, as plastic is harder to get 100% clean. Also make sure no yolk gets into the egg whites
Beating: When eggs whites have gone firm, add the sugar a little at a time using a powerful beater machine going flat out. NZ'ers use their trusty but ancient Kenwood Chef with the glass bowl for ten minutes until the it looks like the Swiss Alps on a sunny day. You should not be able to feel the castor sugar when you squish some mix between your fingers. If they go dull you have over beaten. They will still work but will go extra soggy when cooked as the sugar runs out
Size: Height = radius, or a little less. A radius of less than 10cm means you won't get Pav, just meringue. You can experiment with baking paper rings to hold the mix into a perfect cake shape if fussy. I wouldn't bother though
If truly stuck, go on a course http://www.creativetourism.co.nz/workshops_taste_pav.html
This is what they should look like
A pavlova base is a meringue with cornstarch added. The addition of cornstarch makes a soft, marshmallow-y center. The Joy of Baking has what looks like a comprehensive recipe, although I haven't made it.
I've always just made it with a normal meringue base and only just learned this was "wrong" (silly English heritage I guess) . If you want to use a meringue base, there are two main considerations:
Other than that, all you need to do is make a meringue. I generally use the recipe from Delia Smith (she likes them chewy too). Essentially you just whip egg whites, disolve in some fine sugar, and bake it. It's super easy (if you have a mixer) and it's always a huge hit.
Good luck.
To anyone that isn't familiar with Pavlova (Australia's Favorite Treat), I strongly recommend you try one: Meringue topped with whipped cream topped with loads of fresh fruit.
I discovered how to make pavlovas a couple of years ago and have always found them really easy. My recipe uses egg whites, golden caster sugar, cornflour and white wine vinegar.
I have heard that it can be tricky to get this right so I always follow the exact same stages:
I have included the whole recipe because I'm not certain which of the stages is key. I would guess that properly whipping it (stages 3 & 4) and the cooking method (starting it off hotter, then turning down, and leaving it in the oven until completely cold) is probably part of it too. I also read when I first saw the recipe (can't remember where, sorry) that the white wine vinegar and cornflour are key to helping it set well too.
In terms of physically MAKING the base, shape the mixture into a ring on the tray, so that the outside of the pavlova is slightly higher than the inside. This helps the cream and fruit not fall off when you're cutting it.
The mixture needs to be really stiff so that it doesn't expand outwards into a big flat pav. I find that using a ratio of 1:2 icing sugar:caster sugar also helps form a stiffer and glossier mixture.
In my experience, the keys to good meringue are : Old Eggs and a clear day.
The fresher the egg, the thicker the white. An egg fresh out of the chicken will have a heavy gelatinous white that sticks to the yolk, and only a little bit of watery white.
As the egg gets older, the whites convert to the more watery form. This is what you want for meringue.
Secondly, I have much more success on clear days than I do on rainy days. I think it has something to do with the air pressure and humidity.

I'm trying to delete a file, but I get a message from Trash saying:
"The operation can't be completed because backup items can't be modified."
What does that mean and how can I delete it?
According to this thread at Apple, this is a bug. This means it will hopefully be fixed in a coming update to OS X.
In the meantime, you have to relaunch the Finder, which you can do either through force quit (⎇⌘⎋, or through the menu), or by less violent means by quitting it normally, which you must first activate through the following command issued in the Terminal:
The root of the cause
Time Machine backups are protected at kernel level -- on a verbose boot it's possible to spot in the first screenful of text a
Deleting in Time Machine
The officially sanctioned method for deleting items from a specific backup or all of them is to locate the item in the "in space" Time Machine view and selecting the appropriate delete option from the contextual menu or the Action button in the toolbar.
The ability to move backups to the Trash added in Lion is not only comparatively more buggy, but designed to operate on entire snapshots, i.e. the folders named with the time the backup was created which in turn contain a directory for each included volume.

It Takes the Best to Beat the Rest
No one gets the better of Rafael Nadal.
Nadal, a favorite to win the U.S. Open after an undefeated hard-court season, is the only player in the world with a winning record against every other player in the Top 30. Roger Federer, who has fallen to No. 7 in the world, has a losing record against two members of that group (Nadal and No. 3 Andy Murray), and is tied 1-1 with 12th-ranked Kei Nishikori.
Novak Djokovic, the No. 1 player in the world, has a losing record against Nadal and Federer, and is also tied 1-1 with Nishikori. Five players have a lead on Murray: Djokovic, Nadal, No. 5 Tomas Berdych, No. 11 Milos Raonic and No. 25 Philipp Kohlschreiber. (Murray is tied 1-1 with No. 18 Fabio Fognini and No. 20 Kevin Anderson.)
Nadal, the eight-time French Open champion, is famous for solving Roger Federer, beating him 21 times in 31 meetings. But two years ago, it looked like he had come up against his own nemesis: Djokovic. From 2011 to early 2012, Djokovic beat Nadal seven straight times, all in finals. Since then, Nadal has won five of their six meetings and increased his head-to-head advantage to 21-15.
Few players in the current Top 30 have a realistic chance of reversing their head-to-head record against Nadal. One candidate: Jerzy Janowicz, the 22-year-old from Poland who reached the Wimbledon semifinals this year. Janowicz, ranked No. 14, lost his only match against Nadal, in Montreal this summer, by a score of 7-6(6), 6-4. If they play on grass or at an indoor tournament, Janowicz has the firepower to score an upset. He also has time on his side: Nadal is 27 and has a history of knee problems. They could meet in the Open semifinals.

Lawrenceville Foreclosure Repairs
Atlanta Foreclosure Repair - Getting the Best Price and Highest Quality Work on Home Repairs
GDO Report
REO Contractors Atlanta Gwinnett Buckhead Cumming
The most crucial first step is to get three or more quotes from local, reputable REO contractors. It's important to steer around large, nationwide firms for obvious overhead reasons. Most seasoned Internet search engine users will advise you that it's equally important to stay away from "pay-per-click" search engine companies or "Paid Advertisers" for three reasons:
1. Most people have been burned too often by choosing those links and end up with unqualified laborers. Many of those links are just advertisers who simply refer business to the companies who actually do the work. Who do you think ultimately pays THEIR middleman fees?
2. Even though you only click a link and give your information once, you end up being contacted by 10 to 20 different contractors who are all fighting for you money. They're very aggressive and their pricing is very often extremely high. They have an "All it takes is one" mentality. And forget about quality work.
3. Companies that participate in the very expensive "pay-per-click" programs have a very low closure rate, so they have to recoup their investment plus add profit to the few deals they are able to close. They also tend to have very short life spans so support after the sale is nearly non-existent.
The company you're looking for is one that's been around at least a few years, and one that is active in the REO industry. When they come out to give you a quote - you'll usually know right away if that company is the one you want to use now and in the future. You'll be so pleased that you'll end up recommending this company to many of your friends, family members and neighbors.
So take your time, do your homework on choosing the right home inspector and then the right foreclosed home to purchase. And when repairs are necessary, insist on REO contractors so you can enjoy a healthy home for years to come.
Tips for Buying Distressed or Foreclosed Homes
Buyers Of Foreclosures In Atlanta, North Georgia Need To Check For These Common Problems Before Purchasing:
To many unknowledgeable home buyers and investors, the Atlanta bank foreclosures may seem like a steal. Sure, they may be fixer-uppers but they are selling for thousands of dollars below other homes in the neighborhood. Brion Grant, past president of the American Society of Home Inspectors, in a recent interview stated some of these foreclosed homes may conceal some rather unpleasant surprises from leaky pipes in the walls to wild animals taking up refuge in the attic.
Remember, foreclosed homes in Atlanta are sold as is!
These microscopic organisms thrive on moisture. In muggy Southern climates, mold can inhabit any home. But in a vacant, uncared for home, it can spread like wildfire. In some cases, a slow drip of water inside a wall can cause a massive mold infestation and damage will be unseen by the untrained eye. Thats why home inspectors are so careful to check for leaks, small holes and possible water seepage. In Atlanta foreclosures, mold is the number one issue.
A vacant foreclosure in Atlanta, GA is an invitation for vandals to help themselves to things such as air conditioner units, appliances, even faucets and light fixtures. Copper piping and electrical wiring are desirable commodities. Anything that can be resold is up for grabs.
Property damage is often visible.
Sometimes the previous homeowner has destroyed the home in anger and frustration. Other times, neighborhood kids will have smashed in windows or used the home for parties. Most Atlanta foreclosures have had their utilities shut off, thus the alarm system is inoperable. Vagrants will take up residence to get out of the weather.
A rarity is the homeowner who has left the home in pristine condition, even vacuuming the floors on their way out. If an Atlanta bank foreclosure stays on the market long, more than likely it wont remain that way.
Homeowners going through foreclosure are strapped for cash. Often times, they have removed anything of value. Any upgrades added to the property will now be gone. In many cases, so will appliances, ceiling fans, window dressings, even laminate wood or tile flooring and sound systems have been known to disappear before the key is handed over to the bank. The mentality of the person being foreclosed on is that they paid for them, why should they leave it all for someone else?
Home inspectors report toilets, spa tubs and kitchen cabinets have been ripped out of Atlanta foreclosures. The former owner may also leave behind trash and junk they didnt want. Beat up furniture, rusty grills, car parts, and smelly garbage in the pantry can greet the first potential buyer or inspector. The new buyer will have to pick up the costs of removal and replacement.
Vagrants are not the only ones who seek shelter. A home void of human smells and sounds can be a beacon to snakes, raccoons, rats and even large mammals such as panthers, wild boars or feral cats. The American Society of Home Inspectors have heard every horror story imaginable. It is quite normal to find hives of bees or swarms of bats in the attic. Skunks can inhabit the ventilation system and squirrels the air ducts.
Insects infestation is the most common. Fleas nestle in the carpet in such great numbers that they can turn your legs black when you walk across the room. Fire ants and termites may be rampant. Cockroaches may have taken over in the kitchen and bath looking for water sources. Moths can eat any drapes, carpeting, or even wall paper.
If a home owner is struggling to make their monthly mortgage payments they are not likely to shell out money on HVAC maintenance, or roof repair or replacement. More often than not, repairs of any type stopped months before the payments did. Even simple things such as changing HVAC filters go by the wayside. Gutters have not been cleaned and debris has not been cleared off the roof. It is possible such neglect will mean thousands of dollars in needed repairs.
It is possible the lending institution has already made some clean-up and repairs, but many do not have the time or the crew to do so. The Atlanta home foreclosure market is growing steadily and banks may have dozens foreclosures on their hands. The best option for the potential metro Atlanta foreclosure buyer is to invest in a professional home inspector who will thoroughly examine every nook and cranny of the home. A professional home inspection may not eliminate every surprise, but it can give the Atlanta home foreclosure buyer a better idea of how much money they will need to set aside for repairs and clean-up.
The key to determining whether the foreclosure in Atlanta, GA your considering purchasing is a money pit or a real steal is a quality home inspection.
Dont settle for a cheap inspector when buying a foreclosure in Atlanta, GA or your biggest purchase could turn into your worst nightmare.

Bird flu (or "avian influenza") is a disease that is fatal to many birds but rarely affects people. Bird flu is not the same as pandemic flu in humans. Outbreaks of bird flu typically present very little threat to humans. Some people around the world have contracted bird flu after being in close contact with diseased birds, or bird droppings. To date, the number of such cases is very, very small and most people never contract flu from birds.
Flu viruses can change (mutate) over time. If bird flu virus should ever change into a strain of flu that is very contagious for humans, and a large number of humans becomes infected, that is called pandemic flu. But currently, the bird flu virus has not changed. There is no evidence any bird flu strain anywhere in the world has changed to make it dangerous to people.In a normal year, there are many flu (influenza) strains moving around in our world. Some exist in birds only, some exist in pigs only, and others affect only people. The strain of bird flu that recently has infected many birds, including chickens and ducks, is called H5N1.
Scientists are concerned that some day the bird flu could change into a strain of flu that is highly contagious for humans and since we do not have a natural immunity to bird flu, it could cause severe illness and death in many people. Many health officials hold the view that there is a good chance bird flu could some day change into a strain of flu that would be dangerous to humans.

I was walking one of our furry clients the other day in a popular local park where lots of people walk their dogs. We sat down to take a break and I immediately noticed how the majority of people walking their dogs were in fact being walked by their pet. I witnessed several people literally dragged along the path tripping over their feet, some screeching at their dogs to stop, while their pet happily pulled them along like a sled dog hauling 2,000 pounds of supplies across the Antarctic. Some of the dogs were hacking and coughing as their eyes bulged with the effort, and their people looked strangely similar as they were dragged along behind.
Chances are you know exactly what I'm talking about. This "bad" behavior may have even kept you from walking your dog and giving him/her the exercise that you and your pet both deserve.
In the wild, dogs walk for hours every day. They have an instinctive and even primal need to walk. When you are not able to walk your dog, he does not get the physical and mental stimulation that he needs, and that leads to all kinds of behavior issues. Ever notice your dog running laps around your house or yard? That's a pretty good indication that he isn't getting enough exercise. This type of behavior is not good for either of you. Besides the obvious reasons (your shoulders pulled out of their sockets and valuables broken around the house) here's why (and how) you should walk your pet:
Dogs – yes, even domesticated ones – are instinctively pack animals. In a pack (and whether or not you realize it, you and your family are part of your dog's pack) the leader, or "Alpha," always goes first. So if Fido is leading you on the leash, who do you think he considers the "Alpha" in his pack? Not you. You are actually reinforcing the fact that Fido is the "Alpha" dog. We joke that our pets own us, when in fact, many times they really think they do.
Getting a dog – or multiple dogs – to walk properly on a lead is not as hard as it may seem. All it takes is a little time, patience and proper training.
When you get ready to walk your dog, make sure that you call him/her to you, do not go to the dog. Give the "sit" command. If your dog does not know the "sit" command, teach him that one first. Make your dog sit calmly before snapping on the lead or slipping on the collar. I do not use retractable leashes in my dog-walking business, and I carry my own regular leash if the owners of my furry clients do not have one. I find that retractable leashes give the walker less control.
You need to lead the walk by going out the door first, with your dog following. You're the "Alpha" and your pet needs to know that you are the one who gets to decide when it's time to leave. Make your dog "sit" and "stay" until you walk out the door, only following you out once you've given him permission.
Your dog's collar is an important part of the walking process. If you don't have the right equipment, you aren't going to be able to keep control over him. The collar should fit far up on the neck, which gives you greater control. It's for this precise reason that they keep the lead way up on the dog's neck at dog shows. Additionally, I do not recommend harnesses, as those fit around the strongest part of your pet's body and they were designed for – you guessed it – pulling.
When you walk with your dog, there should be no tension in the lead. Do not allow your pet to pull, and don't constantly pull on him. Your dog should walk beside or behind you. If he starts pulling, you need to correct the behavior instantly with a gentle, sideways tug on the lead. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people jerking their pets' leashes, snapping them backwards. Never jerk the leash backwards. You could do irreparable damage to your dog's trachea.
Research shows that dogs of all breeds and types that are taken for daily walks, and are made to walk beside or behind their owner, are less likely to be destructive, obsessive, have separation anxiety or dominancy issues. If you don't have time to walk your dog, give Paws Pet Care Pet Sitting & Dog Walking a call and we'll be happy to walk your pet for you!

[Columbia, Mo.] - The family of Columbia police officer Molly Bowden today presented Columbia College with a $5,000 check to help fund the Molly S. Thomas Bowden Scholarship.
Bowden died in February 2005 from injuries she sustained in the line of duty a month earlier.
"The college is honored to be a part of the Thomas family's remembrance of Molly," said Dr. Gerald T. Brouder, president of Columbia College. "Their gift in Molly's memory contributes to a legacy that will benefit women pursuing their dreams in higher education."
When fully funded, the Bowden Scholarship will provide a full-tuition scholarship to a female with a 3.0 GPA majoring in criminal justice administration or forensic science, and who attends the Day Campus or Evening Campus at Columbia College.
Bowden graduated from the college in 2002 with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice administration.
For information about contributing to the Bowden Memorial Scholarship at Columbia College, contact Bill Sheehan, executive director of Development and Alumni Services, at (573) 875-7563.
Columbia College serves more than 20,000 students each year at its Day Campus, Evening Campus, Nationwide Campuses, Online Campus and Graduate Studies program.
The college was founded in 1851 as Christian Female College and was renamed Columbia College in 1970 when it became coeducational.

There has been a lot of talk lately about the alleged harmful (potential?) side effects of vaccinations/immunizations for infants and children. What are the objective arguments against immunizing?
TL;DR: No
Update Sept 2015: Aaron Carroll more clearly and expertly answers this in his New York Times analysis "Not up for Debate: the Science behind Vaccination".
Most of the talk lately has been about how the evidence for a link between autism and MMR vaccination is fraudulent.
So, there is no scientific research that demonstrate that contemporary vaccines are harmful, with the exception of allergic reactions (commonly egg protein) and some minor side effects (fever, headache, sore arm, tears, ...). Since even minor side effects can be serious for some populations, some vaccines are not given to all patients (e.g. those who are too young, old, sick, and/or allergic; CDC Flu Vaccine Summary for Clinicians).
There is substantial evidence that vaccines keep people from contracting serious viruses and chronic diseases. For example, a series of interactive graphics from the Wall Street Jornal makes this clear, like this one showing the decline in measles following the introduction of a vaccine:

It is not possible to conclude that a vaccine will have no negative effects on health, but it is easy to estimate the probability that the net effect will be overwhelmingly positive. Vaccines are definitely not inert - otherwise they would not work. So, on the pro-vaccine side, there are many lives saved and many lives improved. On the anti-vaccine side there are minor side effects and presently undetectable and unnoticeable 'unknowns'. For the sake of being thorough, the risks of ("hospital-acquired infections) and using needles (Guidice and Campbell, 2006) are accepted as risks that are outweighed by the benefits of receiving health care.
While I can find no compelling objective arguments against vaccinating children, Dr. Sears provides comprehensive and well referenced overview of the arguments in "The Vaccine Book". Dr. Sears proposes the possibility that it would be in the public health interest to give some vaccines at later ages and / or more spread out through time, e.g., so that a child only receives one or two in any visit. One example he gives is to question the practice of giving 1-2 day old newborns a vaccine for Hepatitis B - which is transmitted sexually and through shared needles - because the risks of a Hep B vaccine for infants and toddlers are greater than the extremely low rates of Hep B at this age, given the fact that a child of a few months or a years would be better able to tolerate the vaccine than an infant. However, Offit and Moser (2009) suggest that Dr. Sears under-estimates the risk of Hep-B by misrepresenting previous work (they also point out other flaws in the Sears Vaccine book).
Offit and Moser (2009), The Problem With Dr Bob's Alternative Vaccine Schedule, J. Ped. http://dx.doi.org/10.1542/peds.2008-2189
Giudice and Campbell (2006) Needle-free vaccine delivery. Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, doi:10.1016/j.addr.2005.12.003
I very highly recommend the book Bad Science by Dr. Ben Goldacre.
There is really no reason against immunisation. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunization. The benefits are massive. I would actually go as far as stating that denying your child immunization should be considered a crime, similar to not protecting your child with seatbelts and child seats
The question does not specify which immunizations specifically. Some vaccines are virtually harmless except for the common side-effects and very rare but serious reactions. But other vaccines are unnecessary or at least not as important as others because they are for diseases that are mild or virtually non-existent. It's no different than drugs. What are the objective arguments for and against drugs? It depends entirely on the drug and what it's for.
Here is the only medical research that I am aware of that connects immunizations with earlier onset of seizures in this disorder: http://www.onmedica.com/newsarticle.aspx?id=e7c292a8-9949-4a65-91f1-3a80d51a7f3b
This article emphasizes that the immunization does not cause the disease, but it does appear to cause it to manifest earlier.
FYI: Here is a link to an exhaustive investigative work on the source of the MMR-Autism vaccine scare. It is lengthy, but very enlightening!
The short of it is that there is none. The study that claimed a link between MMR and autism was fraudulent.
The current theory is that autism is the result of an autoimmune disease, related to rheumatoid arthritis, MS, Crohn's Disease, etc (in fact, it's known that a mother with RA or a family history of same places that woman at a greater risk for having a child with autism). The body produces antibodies that view certain brain cells as abnormal and "foreign", and attacks them.
The supposed link between autism and vaccinations can thus be explained by the vaccine's intended effect of causing an immune response in the child's body; the elevated white cell count and production of antibodies to "fight" the vaccine's disease triggers the autoimmune response. However, that doesn't mean the vaccine itself causes autism, nor that not vaccinating your at-risk kids will prevent them from developing autism. The first time your child gets sick, gets an infected scrape, or even gets allergies, the autoimmune response will kick in.
That means that if your child has the genetic predisposition to develop autism, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Vaccinate the child and the vaccine causes the child to develop autism; don't vaccinate the child, and the disease the vaccine would have innoculated your child against will do the same damage. Given that the genetic factors that cause autism are roughly a 1 in 110 chance in the general population, while the diseases that the vaccines prevent are a 1 in 1 shot if your child is exposed, it's madness to not vaccinate your children, especially if you don't know that you have risk factors for autism.
While i agree with most of the other answers (i.e. there are few if any objective arguments against immunizing) i think it would be more fair to stress the possible conflict between public health which is improved by immunisation programs, and individual risk.
For example the Rubella virus is dangerous for pregnant women and unborns. Immunising girls ensures they will not get the virus later, while pregnant. By immunising boys also, the risk of a pregnant women coming into contact with a Rubella infected boy becomes very small. But there is no benefit for the boy.
I don't believe that there is an argument that vaccines are an overall net negative to public health. However, it does bother me that some folks try to sweep vaccine reactions under the rug as if they don't exist. It also bothers me when doctors who point out the risks are verbally tarred and feathered.
To me, when you consider any medical intervention, any medical intervention at all, there are always risks and side-effects. Even common drugs like aspirin that are widely regarded as safe may sometimes cause lethal reactions in a few patients. That is not to say that they are bad drugs.
To see the big picture, you have to look at the benefits of the therapy and compare them to the risks. Robert Sears has written about this in his "Vaccine Book". He has pointed out that he has concerns about the safety of vaccine ingredients. He also points out objectively how many cases of infectious disease have likely been prevented by vaccination. (I've noticed that most writing about vaccines, whether for or against, descend into personal attacks against people with whom the author disagrees. Robert Sears seems to be one of the few authors to present objective facts about personally attacking others)
I would like add further that vaccines are quite different from one another in terms of the ingredients used and how they mare made. Some contain live pathogens; some contain dead pathogens, some contain fragments of dead pathogens. Some contain trace amounts of toxic chemicals, such as aluminum, to enhance the body's immune response to the vaccine. In short, asking "Are vaccines safe?" is like asking "Are pain pills safe?" Each one has a different profile of risks and potential side effects.
Here are some arguments:
As a parent you have to decide what poses a greater risk to your child: the diseases or the immunization.
It may be against your religion, specifically Christianity and Judaism. Leviticus prohibits consuming 'diseased' meat. Vaccines are made by infecting animal or human fetal tissue and then extracting the virus from it. Every vaccine contains some infected tissue.
You may also object to aborted fetuses being used in this way. For some vaccines you can find a vaccine from a different manufacturer that uses animal tissue as opposed to aborted human fetal tissue.
Not one study has been done to investigate whether there are any negative effects associated with the complete vaccine schedule recommended by the CDC. Individual vaccines must be tested but they're not all tested together. A controlled study should be performed that compares vaccinated and unvaccinated children.
My wife's brother and cousin both developed autism immediately after getting their MMR vaccine. They had a severe reaction that included fever and seizures and they were autistic afterwards. The medical community can state all day long that the vaccines did not cause this and we do not believe them. Watch the movie The Greater Good for more information about this.
It is believed that some people's bodies aren't able to deal with the mercury in the vaccines. We will not be giving our children any vaccines.
Vaccines were not responsible for the decline in diseases anyway: http://childhealthsafety.wordpress.com/graphs/
I should have left out the 'propaganda' stuff and just given a personal testimony. Oh well.
Ana, yes. Her brother was 18 months when this happened. He was talking. He got his MMR shot. That night he got the fever and seizures. That lasted two days. After this he stopped talking and eating and he wouldn't look at people any more. They stopped giving him vaccines. Her brother was fortunate and got much better. Today 11 years later you would just think he's odd. Her cousin was not fortunate. Today he is a 20-year old severely autistic young man. He still does not speak or look at you and his parents take care of him.

Try LAPSE+, Yasca, CodePro AnalytiX, Klocwork Solo, and the Teachable Static Analysis Workbench.
Be sure to check out The Denim Group's blog post on Using static analysis to review file access in android apps, which includes some tools written in Perl.
When Angry Birds Attack Android Edition is the latest blog post from TEAM JOCK, who presented on this research during this video at Shmoocon with a talk entitled [PDF - TEAM JOCH vs. Android: The Ultimate Showdown - PDF].
Nils also presented on Building android sandcastles in android's sandbox at a recent BlackHat.
ENISA has done a more formal job at modeling the risks to smartphone platforms with their Smartphones: Information security risks, opportunities and recommendations for users paper. Cigital has at least one blog post on Moving to Mobile - New Threats which also covers threat-modeling topics.
Here are two free online tools that check for certain specific issues with Android applications:
Keep in mind that these are research tools. Moreover, they focus only on a very specific set of vulnerabilities. They are not a general-purpose static analysis tool, and are not substitute for a general-purpose security static analysis tool for Android (like Fortify); they are better thought of as a supplement for other tools available to you.
For static analysis of source code I found this tool useful especially for Android. It is a free tool called OpenGrok ,which can index a source repository. It supports multiple languages so it has been useful for analysis of Androids Java and native code. AndroidXRef also hosts an index that can be used for analysis of multiple versions of Android. Hope this helps.
Sorry if this is too basic, but I wanted to make sure the easy options are covered.
I just added static analysis with FindBugs and PMD (free) to my Eclipse workflow. I didn't go with Klockwork Solo yet because of the price, but I plan to use the 30 day trial before releasing my next app.

Frank Pignanelli & LaVarr Webb: Questions surrounding the John Swallow controversy
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
For months, Utah politicos have been asking in hushed tones, "Are you hearing stuff about John Swallow and do you think it's true?" Most chalked up the rumors to internal GOP or partisan sniping. But a huge bomb dropped last week when indicted businessman Jeremy Johnson alleged he solicited Swallow to bribe a U.S. senator. This shocking revelation, coming soon after Swallow was sworn in as Utah attorney general, is raising important questions:
Will Swallow resign or be forced from office? Can he survive this controversy?
Pignanelli: "It is almost always the cover-up rather than the event that causes trouble." — Howard Baker
Swallow can survive, but there is a big "if." To date, there is no evidence that Swallow violated any state or federal law outside of Johnson's statements, which are less than trustworthy. Swallow's recommendation that Johnson seek assistance from a member of Congress to help with Federal Trade Commission troubles was standard advice.
Notwithstanding the lack of criminal intent, Swallow (who is a friend) was monumentally foolish in trying to hide his relationship with Johnson and outside consulting services. In politics, such stupidity can only be remedied by massive bloodletting. Swallow can survive if he holds a press conference wherein he apologizes with great emotion and then literally opens his veins. He must endure hours of repetitive and nasty questions from reporters without defensive posturing.
Swallow should state that he was conned by Johnson and he will work to protect Utahns against such malfeasance. He must offer some explanation — and then sorrow — for his stranger activities of deathbed affidavits, moving personal assets, etc. Utahns will be open to his contrition. Swallow has less than a week to engage in public penance before the legislative session begins. After that, his fate will be in the hands of the Legislature — where little support exists.
Webb: From Barack Obama on down, politicians cultivate wealthy people and wealthy people cultivate politicians. That's a political fact of life in America, and nothing is going to change it, not even strict campaign contribution limits. Some of those wealthy friends, at some point, are going to get into trouble with government regulators or the law. It always happens.
The wealthy person then goes to his politician friend for help. What happens next marks the difference between a wise politician and a foolish one, because the friend in trouble is now a hot potato that must be handled very carefully.
Swallow didn't handle it wisely. He was not an elected official, but he was No. 2 in the attorney general's office, and he was campaigning to become attorney general. It's OK to give advice and refer an old friend to someone who might represent him. But to talk about money and to receive money for services (Swallow says the money was for other consulting services, but the timing and circumstances all look fishy) was very foolish.
In a court of law, we presume innocence until proved guilty. But in politics and in the court of public opinion, actions that are imprudent, even though not illegal, can destroy a career. Swallow's chance of surviving is less than 50 percent.
If Swallow does not leave soon, is the attorney general's office damaged and can Swallow's reputation be rehabilitated?
Pignanelli: To paraphrase Richard Nixon, Utahns need to know that their attorney general is not a crook. Swallow is not a crook — a fact he must convey to citizens through specific personal actions. He must immediately disengage from partisan wrangling, fundraising or any political activities and quietly pursue Utah's legal interests. This will restore morale to his office and respectability to his public image.

If you have ArcGIS and if you have also installed the Data Interoperability Extension (ArcGIS-integrated version of FME by Safe Software), you can read simple GML and WFS data sources without a license for the extension (source).
As long as your GML data sticks to the GML Simple Features profile, you do not need to enable the Data Interoperability Extension, it needs only be installed. Then, follow the instructions in this help topic to create an interoperability connection for your GML data: Using the GML simple features profile
Once you have set up the interoperability connection, you can export it to a shapefile or feature class using the usual Export Data command or geoprocessing tools such as Copy Features (Data Management).
See this help topic for more information: An overview of GML support in ArcGIS
You could give the GDAL/OGR utility ogr2ogr a try. It has to capability to convert between many formats of vector spatial data.
Depending on the flavor of your XML/GML it may be able to extract the spatial components straight away, and be as simple as:

Does anyone know of any research in measuring metacognitive abilities (i.e. metacomprehension, metamemory, meta-emotions(?), etc) in people? In other words, I'm wondering if the same way we have IQ tests (which I know is a whole other topic of debate), if there would be a way to measure "meta-IQ"?

A good overview on the topic is Metacognition: A Literature Review (E. R. Lai), page 27 has a section assessing the measures of Metacognition.
Generally assessments focus on one specific area of Metacognition like Metamemory.
See also Development and Validation of an Objective Measure of Metacognition that assess four studies evaluating metacognitive abilities.
Searching around on Google Scholar finds a great deal of studies using and proposing various measures for Metacognition. There's certainly no "standard" like an IQ test, as Metacoginiton: A Literature Review notes, part of the challenge in studying and teaching Metacognitive abilities is due to the lack of focus on them in traditional school curriculum.

New Communications Suite Technical Note: Comparing LDAP Schema Modes
By Joesciallo-Oracle on Mar 25, 2007
Short description of this doc:
This article compares the Sun Java System LDAP schema modes used by the Sun Java Communications Suite products. It includes an overview and history of both modes, an example of domain and user LDAP entries for both schema modes, and a discussion on how to decide which mode is appropriate for you.
Shorter article, for those who don't have the time to digest it all:
- You should use the same schema version for all Communications Suite products sharing the same LDAP directory.
- If you require Sun Java System Access Manager to share the same LDAP user directory with Communications Suite products, use one of the Schema version 2 modes.
You should not use Schema version 1 mode unless you satisfy all of the following criteria.
- You have an earlier version of one of the Communications Suite products already installed using Schema version 1.
- And, you don't want to use Access Manager.
- And, you don't want to migrate your LDAP database to either mode of Schema version 2.
- If Sun Java Communications Suite Delegated Administrator does not have the features you require, but iPlanet Delegated Administrator does, use Schema version 1 mode.
- If you are installing Communications Suite products for the first time, choose the Schema version 2 mode that integrates most easily with your current DIT structure. You can choose between Schema version 2 native mode or compatibility mode. The two modes are defined in Schema Version 2 Background Information.
As one astute commentator noted to me offline, once you are convinced that you ought to migrate your deployment from V.1 to V.2, what next? Apologies, we neglected to include a pointer in this article to the Schema Migration Guide, which "describes how to migrate Sun Java System LDAP Directory data from LDAP Schema 1 to LDAP Schema 2 for Sun Java Communications Suite, specifically Sun Java System Messaging Server and Sun Java System Calendar Server."

What are some common mistakes regarding usability for web applications?

CSS / Javascript drop down menus that don't have a delay specified on them so you experience the "diagonal problem" (via Jakob Nielsen)
Poor form validation design.
I hate it when I submit a form which fails validation and the application does any of the following:
Not putting clickable labels on checkboxes and other form fields.
It's so easy to do. See the HTML <label> tag.
Poor design when it comes to Primary vs Secondary action buttons on forms.
Users use the back & forward buttons in their browser (or on their mouse). And they use the refresh button too. So be careful with form posts on your website.
Nobody likes this...
This dialog box appears when you refresh the page that the data is posted to. Fortunately, it can be avoided by using method="get" when possible, or method="post" followed immediately by a redirect where necessary. If you must use a post for length or security reasons, the redirect should go to a different URL than the form action to avoid this message.
JavaScript links. You can't middle-click open a new tab for
Asking mandatory personal information in registration forms when they are not necessary.
Examples :
Making this information mandatory is the best way to get a really polluted database full of "dummy", "firstname.lastname@example.com", etc. because most people don't like to give that kind of information when it's not really necessary.
Moreover, not being able to modify any of this information is a really bad design.
target="_blank" on anchors is one of the most common, and the one I hate most. There are some cases which it makes sense, though, to my opinion.
Here's a rather known list of Top 10 Mistakes on Web Design: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9605.html
When the functionality of the back button is disabled or changed from what the user would expect. I see this a lot on applications that use custom dialog / lightboxes / iframes.
Making me hunt for the "forgot your password?" link, and then once I click it, sending me my password in the clear1 once I find it. Our dear Jeff Atwood covered it quite well in "You're Probably Storing Passwords Incorrectly"
1 Admittedly, this part is more of a programming problem, but I consider it a usability problem as well.
Using checkboxes as radiobuttons and vice-versa.
Nowhere to close your account or or making it really hard to find where to close your account.
Ideally you want a section "Account" or something worded similarly, and on that page, aside from all the other stuff you want there, a clearly labeled link or button that says "close my account". You can follow that with a page that asks users why they're leaving or invites them to give feedback, but all that stuff should be deprioritised compared to the actual "close my account" (or delete, remove, etc.) call to action.
The question is a bit too general and actually more of a discussion.
I can contribute one thing I've seen repeatedly:
Forms that have a "clear all" button.
I see no reason at all for a "clear" button, but if you absolutely insist then just use a very subtle link, allowing just one simply and obvious action for the user.
Having to register to perform some basic operations that doesn't really need registration. Or allow a "one-click" registration method.
Some examples where it shouldn't be necessary :
Being "creative" and tucking your search bar behind a tab/link/etc. If you offer search, just make a box available, rather than needing to hunt for it!
Sites with floating status bars
Such as Meebo Bar. These are obnoxious and rarely provide useful functionality. They take up unnecessary space and pop up distracting balloons.
My biggest pet peeve are sites that for one reason or many don't correctly support plus signs in email addresses. A lot of the time, websites won't validate an email address with a '+' before the '@'. The worst though is when a site accepts the address, but then doesn't escape and/or unescape the data correctly and either tries to send email to an address with a space in it or with the two sides of the '+' smashed together.
This free validator written in PHP purportedly follows all the RFCs and their associated errata.
Web Apps that run on a secure HTTPS connection, but load content from an HTTP connection. On one hand this is totally fine, but for IE users in particular (not me typically) the security warning is awkward and confusing for users...
Not only is it highly aggravating to dismiss on every page, but the wording is awkward, and the button actions are different for IE(6&7) vs. IE8+
Old IE dialog:
New IE dialog:
So, if as a user you "just want to load the full page" (e.g. you are looking for the "go away" button)... it is the default Yes in IE6 & IE7, but the non default No in IE8+.
Note: I'm fully aware as a developer what the purpose of the dialog is and even why Microsoft changed it but for end users it just confuses them especially in IE8. End users see a dialog come up asking for "permission", "confirmation", etc. and expect to click the "ok" or "yes" option because they don't read the dialog. One can argue that the users should read it, but it is just easier if developers ensure they don't have mixed content if it can at all be avoided.
Having to search for the logout link. I log on to a page, and I in some, when I'm done, I have to search for the logout button or link.
Hiding what users want and instead giving them what YOU want them to want.
An example is customer support. Instead of listing a big fat box with phone number / mail etc, some companies show a FAQ as a means of getting help and don't have any contact info on that page.
Many sites don't use different colors for visited links.
Jakob Nielsen: Change the Color of Visited Links
Recently I've noticed something I never considered a usability problem:
Hover for making actions available. Like for example on twitter.com where hovering a tweet displays the retweet and reply commands.
This simply doesn't work on touch-based devices at all. There's no hover!
Another pet peeve of mine are websites that don't open external links in a new tab. Look, I'm browsing in a tree. I expect every domain I'm on to represent a branch, when I'm done with it I will close the tab. I certainly don't want clicking 'back' ten times to travel up the branch.
QA sites that display the accepted answer twice.
Sites that have menu structures that "float" up and down either side of the screen as you scroll. I can see why they've done it, but it's often very distracting and more often not as "slick" as the designer had obviously hoped for.
An example to which I am referring can be seen here: http://www.deluxe-menu.com/floatable-menu-sample.html
although they are quite popular these days, they're also considered an accesibility issue, especially for people who fail to recognize words they don't know (or don't even have special characters such as ýáěíč on their keyboard)
personally, I rather use simple rational questions to serve this functionality
example: please write the next whole number that comes after number eleven
A List Apart has an article by Aza Raskin: "Never Use a Warning When you Mean Undo".
Users tend to ignore or dis-like "warning" pop-ups, but offering a user the chance to "undo" is much more user-friendly.
Sites that uses lots of cpu and memory
I usually have a bunch of tabs open with programming questions/answers from various mailinglists and many of these sites have some heavy javascript going on (Installing adblock helped, but still there are heavy sites). With Chrome I can finally see which tabs that are causing it.
The new improved Google image search puts my cpu on heavy job and takes up several hundreds of megabytes. Much resource hungry.
Having static elements on your page that change color if you put the mouse cursor on them, but do nothing if you click on them. In the same league: hyperlinks or buttons where the clickable region is limited to the text.

What is your favorite kind of sandwich?
I ask because my nearly 4 year old son hates peanut butter for some reason and that's usually a great standby. What are some great and easy sandwiches that might appeal to a young kid?
11 Answers answer
well fluffernutter is out. Grilled cheese is always safe.
Probably not a good choice for a 4 year old, but my fav is a good bahn mi. Baguette, roast pork, pickled carrots & daikon, mayo, cilantro & jalapenos.
My personal fav is peanut butter and honey =D
You might try turkey/lettuce/mayo for him, or tuna fish salad (tuna, mayo, hard boiled egg)
If PB is out try Nutella.
The club is always the good fall back. Ham, turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, Swiss cheese and spicy mustard. Off the hook!
Drooling thinking about one.
my 4 year-old is starting to branch out and is asking for lettuce and tomatoe on his sandwiches. He really likes ham on his grilled cheese.
When I was about that age, it was peanut butter and dill pickles. It was the bomb
Another vote for grilled cheese. All of my kids love them!
Reheated breaded frozen chicken patties from Costco on bun with peanut butter and lettuce.
Down side for grilled cheese is the school lunch thing. Doesn't work as well for a packed lunch.
any lunch meat (ham, turkey) + chips (on the sandwich). potato, doritos... anything to add the crunch. Loved it as a kid, eating a peanut butter and jelly and doritos sandwich.
Even today, one of my favorite sandwiches at an old haunt is grilled tofu with sprouts, veggie cream cheese, doritos, and shiracha on a bagel... it's yummy.
But absolute favorite as an adult is turkey, bacon, onion, green apple, sun dried tomato mayo on ciabatta.
maybe for a kid just doing turkey bacon and green apple...
My Mom used to make what she called a "salad sandwich", which was lettuce, cheese, and whatever fruit we had on hand. Plums, apples, and/or peaches were good. Schmear of mayo is optional.
"Don't knock it until you've tried it." --Mom
There's also the "other" salad sandwiches -- egg, tuna, turkey, chicken, or ham -- though people don't usually pack those in lunches anymore for fear of salmonella. I still do.
How about banana and marshmallow cream? Maybe add raisins? You could even use graham crackers as "bread".

Hello Everyone,
I have a few questions regarding some panorama stitching software. First off, I am in the market for an easy-to-use spherical panorama stitcher. I've been leaning towards PTGui. I am anticipating a customer asking me about embedding hotspots to navigate through the panorama just as if you were in the actual property. To accomplish this, I would need to have the capability to include a hotlink (i.e. an arrow) within the panorama that once clicked on, transports the viewer from one node to another within the panorama or a separate linked panorama of a different room. Also, I have seen some panoramas with an interface that shows a floor layout and by clicking on a specific room calls up that panorama in the viewer. Once scrolling through the actual panorama, if you looked at the interface you can see the angle of view you are viewing in the room.
If this is not a function included in panoramic software can anyone provide/ suggest a link to a tutorial on how to do this?
Thank-you in advance for any responses.

Step 1. Wait for the engine to cool down and gather listed materials. Working on a hot engine is incred- ibly dumb. Step 2. Open the hood and remove the front panel and airbox. (Fig. 1.) Step 3. Protect the air intake with a cover (I used aluminum foil. (Fig. 2.) Fig. 1. Engine all assembled Step 4. Locate the spark plugs. This engine has six-cylindars and twelve spark plugs (six on each side). Select one side to do at a time. Step 5. Starting with the spark plug furthest from the firewall, remove the electrical plug and unscrew unit from the engine using the T-25 Torx bit. Use the magnet to ensure the screw is not dropped into the engine. (Fig. 3.) Step 6. Spray the spark plug boots with WD-40 to loosen them for removal. Wait a few minutes to allow solvent to penetrate. Step 7. Use the 17 mm wrench to pry the boot off from the spark plug. This is the biggest pain in the ass. Try to loosen the boot by turning the boot using your hand. Be careful not to damage or crimp the boot if using the pliers. Fig. 2. Protect your engine! Cover the air intake from accidental beer spilling! Fig. 3. Spark plugs on driver's side with wires and harnesses intact. Step 8. engine. position labeled, engine. Do this for the entire side of the This part took the longest. Label the of the modules. The boots are both on the module and on the (Fig. 4 and 5.) Fig. 5. The engine has embossed lettering to show which boot goes where. Fig. 6. Old and new spark plugs. I used OEM spark plugs, as seen in Fig. 7. Fig. 4. Engine without spark plug modules. Step 9. Remove the spark plug. This is a pain in the ass as well. Remember, lefty- loosy, righty-tighty. Use the appropriate-sized extension to remove the spark plug. You may have to change extensions mid way. Step 10. Insert new spark plug. Spray with WD-40 before screwing in to allow for easier removal the next time you change spark plugs. Tighten to 28 N m. Step 11. Re-attach boots to the spark plugs, making sure you place them in the right order. You will feel or hear a pop when they connect. Also re-attach modules to the engine block. Step 12. Repeat on other side of engine, noting the number of new and used spark plugs as you go along. Step 13. Once complete, remove cover that was placed on the air intake and replace air box. You are done! There will be some smoke and smell as the WD-40 burns off the engine and plugs.

pick 5 games from list on GOG.com for $10
great puzzle games such as Machinarium and Botanicula, RPG such as Torchlight, also Alan Wake's American Nightmare...not a bad deal!
11 Comments add a comment
The Ball is an interesting puzzle game. It kept me entertained for hours.
Darwina, Space Chem and Torchlight are each worth the price of the whole kaboodle.
They even have MAC games.
HOLY CANOLI, all 5 Geneforge games PLUS four others in the list for $10??? I already have them and I'm tempted to grab it just for extra back-ups O.O
I am REALLY tempted by this, but I'd prefer to wait for the Steam holiday sale. Even if I have to pay a little more, it's keeping all my games in one place.
Wow, great deal, thank you!!! I never heard of gog.com and now have a large wishlist of hard to find games. Plus the deal knocks 5 adventure games off my Steam list; no more waiting for them to go on sale 80% off, lol!
Lots of good horror games on this site too!
Reminds me of humble bundle...good deal...loved torchlight and Alan Wake.
Do you know if you can purchase multiples of this deal?
I already own all but 4 of these games, and only really want two of them. Of the ones I already own I got all but two of them from various indie bundles, and the other two I bought from GoG already.
I like that GoG is now selling newer games because personally I'd rather buy games from GoG than Steam. I like Steam, but I also like DRM free games that I can play without having to launch a special client and be connected to the internet. GoG also gives you extras that you don't get from Steam like sound tracks.
My personal recommendations:
If you don't already have Trine, do yourself a favor and get it. It is on my top 10 best games of all time.
SpaceChem is surprisingly fun and addictive. You don't need to know chemistry to play it, but you might learn some along the way.
If you like old school type point and click adventure games, definitely pick up Resonance, Geneni Rue and the Blackwell Bundle.
WOW, this is an absolutely mind-blowing deal!
Botanicula, To the Moon, Alan Wake, Torchlight, Geneforge, Spacechem, Trine, Darwinia, Unmechanical, and The Ball are all fantastic games, and all of them are worth this price by themselves.
Plus, GOG games are always DRM free. Grab this deal as fast as you can, and tell all your friends.
@superninja: Yes, I just finished up my second purchase, with the same account and same credit card.
Lol, now the only game I don't have in this list is the Mutant Mudds one.

#InstagramDiary: V&A Waterfront
On a perfect winter's day like today there's no better place to be than outside, taking advantage of the warm winter sun. I took a stroll through the V&A Waterfront and were reminded just how much this world-class shopping destination has to offer. In fact, the Waterfront is so much more than meets the eye. I may even have done a spot of shopping...maybe.
Top 10 things to do at the V&A Waterfront:
1. Dine at one of the many mouth-watering eateries on the property. Until the 25th of August 2013, enter their #DiscoverDelicious campaign and you could win a R5000 voucher in the weekly draw. Just eat, shoot and share, remembering to register on the website: www.discoverdelicious.co.za to enter.
2. Take a ferrie to Robben Island to explore the site where Nelson Mandela spent many years in captivity. A truly moving experience. Also take time to explore the Gateway to Robben Island Museum where you will find interesting facts and artifacts about this World Heritage Site.
3. Explore the under-sea while on dry land at the Two Oceans Aquarium. The aquarium is home to over 3000 species of marine life and offers unique and exciting experiences, like the opportunity to dive with sharks- cageless! A fascinating experience for kids and adults alike.
4. Jump onboard the Jolly Roger Pirate Ship for a cruise around the harbour or out to Camps Bay. Cape Town's only authentic pirate ship can also be hired for exclusive events and parties.
5. Visit the Cape Town Diamond Museum for a fascinating look at South Africa's history in the diamond mining field. Experience first hand that magical power that diamonds posses to capivate and enthrall and learn more about the 4 C's - Cut, clarity, colour and carat.
6. For those interested in a bit of history, the Iziko Maritime Museum is a must-see. With images and artifacts from from the 17th to 20th century, see how the Table Bay region developed into what it is today.
7. Hop onboard the City Sightseeing Bus and explore Cape Town's iconic routes with a view from the open-topped bus. Make sure to make use of the hop-on hop-off sites so you don't miss out on exploring.
8. Shop, shop, shop till you drop! The Waterfront has a massive selection of exclusive and luxury stores that will leave your shopping bags bulging and your credit card empty!
9. With weather like today you might want to take a different route and hop on a bicycle to explore the city closer to the ground with AWOL Tours. A fun and educational way to get some fresh air while getting to know the city. (Read more about my recent sightseeing trip with AWOL Tours here)
10. Before you leave, make sure you pop into the African Craft Market where you can find authentic handmade African crafts to take home. There's nothing like a handmade souvenoir to remind you of your amazing trip in years to come.
Don't forget to follow us on Instagram: @lovecapetown and tag your Cape Town images to share them with us.

I run FreeBsd box with pppd over Ethernet. Everything works just fine with only one exception. Sometimes, not too often, the connection becomes stale. Everything looks like if it is ok: ifconfig shows it is up, ppp says that the link is ok, but traffic does not come through. What I do is run
killall pppd and then restart ppp manually. It reconnects and things are great again.
My question is: is there a setting in pppd (or mpd5, or anywhere else) that if set, makes ppp detect that the link is stale and reconnect automatically?
If there isn't such a setting, maybe there is another solution?

How to Install Teardrop TaillampsWritten by on January 13, 2014 Buckets of Teardrops
According to our "little pages" personal libraries, back in the days of the earlier customs, when top chopping and grille swapping hadn't all been done before, it was generally the newer Fords' parts that found their way to the older Fords. If we go back a little further, say any time after 1938, Ford's new "teardrop" taillamps exemplify that statement, as there isn't any way to downplay the teardrops' instant popularity. From the time when they were new, teardrops were liberated from wrecks in junkyards (and sometimes directly from parked 1938 and 1939 Fords) and took their places on the rear body panels of older Fords. But of course, that was only the beginning.
Although as we've said, it was generally the newer Fords' parts that found their way onto the older Fords, the teardrop taillamp could be considered an early exception to the rule—because let's face it, it's one of the best looking, most versatile taillamp assemblies ever made. Perhaps for that reason alone, the older teardrop can cross over into later-model bulbous bodies without ridicule—as long as the work adds up to be an aesthetic improvement, that is.
When Bob Slaughter of Valley Center, California, located and purchased this 1946 Ford Super DeLuxe coupe, it looked more like a 1947, due to prior deletion of its front park lamps. The original 1946 taillamps were retained, but they'd been lowered and the look was not pleasing to Slaughter. It was right about midday when Slaughter walked into nearby Escondido, California's Hot Rods & Custom Stuff, where a taillamp display caught his eye. After a quick counter crew consultation, a decision was made to french-in a pair of teardrops. Vintique makes them, Hot Rods & Custom Stuff stocks them, the timing was right and the work began without delay.
