ACE! So good! I didn`t saute my onions, garlic or ginger. I added them raw to my food processor till they where very finely minced. I did buy a cut from the shoulder that i cut into cubes, froze then pulsed in my food processor with the onion mixture. Grilled about 3-4 minute per side. I placed the burger on a onion bun (no bun for gluten free) with lettuce and tomato. Topped the burger with crumbled goat cheese and thin sliced cucumbers. No need for ketchup. Thanks. Made for my team the lively lemon lovelies. ZWT #8 Australia challenge. Cheers Jubes. Oh I did serve with Kumara (Sweet Potato) and Ginger Mash
These were great and so quick and easy to put together.. I doubled the recipe as I made patties for our dinner served over a green salad with feta cheese, large garlic stuffed olives and red onion along with a drizzle of balsamic dressing. I then made meatballs with the rest of the mixture and have frozen them so I can do what mummamills suggested and make a curry with them, as soon as I read her review I thought that sounded so good to do.. The lamb patties by themselves were delicious though and were thoroughly enjoyed by us all and we all agreed on the 5 stars, does not happen often in our house.. I think these would be great done any way be it a bbq or made smaller for finger foods with a dipping sauce.. We loved them paired with salad perfect for us and really looking forward to trying them in a curry.. Thanks for posting such a winner of a recipe for us Jubes..
These are great! and very easy. I didnt have enough mint for my liking, but my mint was very sad after 3 weeks of being away :)
The only lamb mince I could get was very coarse and fatty, next time I think I will whizz up my own. I reckon this would be wonderfull in a curry! thanks Jubes . made for Aussie swap sept 2011
Fresh local lamb, onions from my bro's garden, mint from our garden...GOOD! Loved that
ginger in the mix! Served over a bed of plain white rice and alongside steamed veggies and leftover cole slaw. Looking forward to making "baby burgers" aka "sliders" with this recipe in the near future. Thanks for posting!
BLISS! Quintessinal! I nominate this for best use of fresh mint. DH, who always swore he hated lamb, absolutely loved it and asked that I make these again with our leftover ground lamb. We purchased boneless leg of lamb, which DH trimmed of all fat, accounting for 31% shrinkage in weight from our purchase; however, we had the leanest, freshest possible ground lamb for our patties, and the cost per pound was still USD$5.00 less than the "little pieces of gold" chops. The vegetable filling was perfect; the sauteing helped to intensify the flavors. The ginger was subtle, but enjoyable. The mint was delightful, but not overwhelming. I formed my patties the night before, and followed Bobby Flay's recommendation of making an indentation in the middle of the burger to enhance even cooking. The extra refrigeration allowed the patties to firm up, and allowed the flavors to blend to perfection. I used a Cuisinart Griddler, searing for 3 minutes, then cooking at medium for about 5 minutes (until the internal temperature reached 129F). These were so good we wouldn't dream of adding any condiments to distract. These were so good, I didn't miss those "little pieces of gold" that had been my favorite since childhood. Made for The Wild Bunch for ZWT8 ~Great Backyard Barbie Challenge ~Australia/New Zealand. This recipe was already gluten-free as written; thank you, Julie!

Corona 4GB (V2/V4/V6) NAND RW QSB Color Coded Pinout
Hey folks, if you've messed up your Corona 4GB NAND RW QSB, don't like using QSB's or just want to convert it into a multi-install reader here's a helpful color-coded pinout diagram I've worked out by just doing continuity tests from the SD Card pads back to the solder pads on the QSB. I had an old one kicking around here that took a beating and decided to convert it into a proper multi-install by soldering wires directly to the pins on the ribbon connector.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to use 24 AWG or thicker for both ground wires and 26-28 AWG for the rest. Also, make sure you solder the pad next to Q1 to the resonator or if you have trouble reading the chip try running a wire from the same pin on the resonator directly to ground (24 AWG! The right hand side of cap C1E16 directly below the Phison chip is a good GND point).
J-Runner would not read the MMC using 28 AWG for GNDs and as soon as I swapped them out for 24 AWG it worked flawlessly. If you've anything to add to this that's related to the 4GB models please feel free to share.

this wiring diagram you have taken the time to illustrate is freely available on the net and was available before the QSB's were released.. but thanks :-)

Re: Corona 4GB (V2/V4/V6) NAND RW QSB Color Coded Pinout
I am fully aware of this n1ght0wl. I was merely showing the pin-outs for the retail QSB and how to convert it into a multi-install. I know it's not that hard to figure out and it took me all or 5 mins maybe to draw up. Just figured I'd share since I'm sure someone will find it useful.
P.S. A simple thanks would have been enough. lol

Re: Corona 4GB (V2/V4/V6) NAND RW QSB Color Coded Pinout
Well i tried doing a wire install with a corona V2 qsb a few days ago it showed up in Jrunner with the right size but as soon as i tried to read or write i got this error "Must be a removable type" maybe its because i used kynar wire on all connections. Wich i now see is AWG30 so the wire had to be even thiner? :S
If you compare the wire thicknesses with the colored ones that come with the coolrunner/proto/dgx what cable woult be used for ground? and what for the other pads? Just out of curiosity because i will install a QSB anyway when i get the chance.
Also i think it would be beter to desolder the port from the EXT qsb and do a wire install from those pads or am i wrong?
8th October 13 #5
Re: Corona 4GB (V2/V4/V6) NAND RW QSB Color Coded Pinout
AWG30 should be fine and with AWG the higher the number, the thinner the wire. I used very short pieces of single stranded IDE cable for everything but ground and it works perfect. Use the ground wire that comes with the CR's and if that still doesn't work try replacing the AWG 30 with the common coolrunner wires.
Also the wire going from the resonator to the pad near Q1 should be thick ground wire as well or soldered directly to the QSB. I would try soldering it directly to ground instead of the QSB though, but you would have to desolder it again before powering on the console to get the CPU key and then solder it back again to flash the freeboot image. You may want to try that first before replacing all the wires since it's a lot easier.

Re: Corona 4GB (V2/V4/V6) NAND RW QSB Color Coded Pinout
So use a blackwire from the CR kit on al 3 ground points? i asume it does not matter if you switch the postion of the 2 ground wires? (The 3th pin and the last) It seems more logical because that way your wires dont cross each other. I will try it again tomorrow in that case i need to start working in half an hour and i am not going to do it when its dark :P Soldering to the nand pads on a 4GB is some risky bussiness :P

Re: Corona 4GB (V2/V4/V6) NAND RW QSB Color Coded Pinout
I like to know what Q1 and other parts are doing.
And pen 7 is not connected in this wire instal but QSB use this pin.
Is there also een pin out for U1D1 16 pins connector. Goes this to the switch R/W--x360 on de microSD header ?

The United States on Friday warned of a dangerous increase in tensions on the undemarcated border between Sudan and South Sudan after reports of clashes between the two sides.
Washington is "deeply concerned" by the reported incidents in disputed border areas between South Sudan's Upper Nile state and Sudan's Blue Nile, the US embassy in Khartoum said.
These included "reports of Sudanese helicopters crossing into South Sudan and the artillery bombardment by Sudanese armed forces of South Sudanese troops," it said.
"Additionally, we are also very concerned about the increase in negative rhetoric, which together with these reports of military clashes is leading to a dangerous increase in tension along the undemarcated border."
The embassy said it had no evidence of "an offensive buildup" on either side of the frontier.
"Our concern is that this increase in tension could lead to accidental confrontation that could quickly escalate," it added.
Sudan and South Sudan fought along their frontier last March and April.
In September they hailed an end to conflict by signing security and economic agreements but they have not been implemented.
Those agreements, reached with the help of African Union mediation, called for a resumption of oil flows between the two countries and creation of a demilitarised border buffer zone.
"We strongly believe the tension underscores the importance of both parties agreeing to immediately and without conditions establish the Safe Demilitarised Border Zone (SDBZ)" along with a joint verification mechanism, the embassy said.
The United Nations had already told Sudan and South Sudan to activate the monitored SDBZ last May, under a Security Council resolution ordering an end to the earlier border clashes.
Khartoum accuses South Sudan of backing rebels in South Kordofan and Blue Nile states. This has been the major obstacle to implementing the September deals and resuming the flow of oil which is particularly vital to the South.
The Juba government stopped oil production more than a year ago, accusing Khartoum of theft during a row over how much the South should pay for shipping its oil through Sudanese pipelines for export.
South Sudan, which became independent in 2011, denies backing rebels on Sudanese soil. It says Khartoum supports insurgents on southern territory.
Diplomats and experts say Khartoum's concerns over border security are holding hostage billions of dollars in oil revenue for both economies.
The experts had also expressed concern that tensions are escalating and said there is no immediate hope of a resolution to the dispute.

FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska - When you live in or visit Alaska, you become aware of the vast amount of land in the state - 54 million acres - much of which is undeveloped pristine wilderness.
In the middle of those 54 million acres is the U.S. Army Cold Regions Test Center (CRTC), which operates on the 670,000-acre Donnelly Training Area (DTA).
CRTC's mission is to plan and conduct realistic, natural environment testing with an emphasis on extreme cold and sub-arctic conditions. This can lead to unique challenges when the equipment being tested at CRTC is a missile system with a surface danger zone (SDZ) of more than 300,000 acres and a 500,000-acre area that would be activated as "hot" during the firing. That is an area roughly the size of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
John Viggato, the test officer assigned to Non-Line-of-Sight Launch System, looked at the numbers and knew there was a way to get this test done, but the biggest challenge he would face would be "location, location, location."
"Fitting an SDZ of that size into our 670,000 acre test range was extremely difficult and pushed us into unfamiliar and logistically challenging areas of the range," Viggato said.
Once Viggato pinpointed an area in DTA West that fit the requirements, the work really began. The launch site was 30 kilometers from the nearest road, while the target location was 45 kilometers. The location was so far downrange that CRTC would have to start from scratch.
There were no roads, power, communications, or infrastructure at either location. In order to begin working on the basic needs, CRTC would have to cross the Delta River, which has no permanent bridge crossing it anywhere. Viggato used low- water crossings techniques to preposition equipment and the initial test setup in the fall, but had to wait for colder temperatures in the winter months to build an ice bridge.
With support from the United States Army, Alaska G-3 (operations directorate), Viggato was able to obtain support from the 6th Engineer Battalion based at Fort Richardson. The battalion provided Soldiers who not only greatly assisted CRTC by constructing and maintaining a combination ice bridge and road throughout test set-up, execution, and recovery operations, but also received invaluable training in the process.
Once the support personnel were able to get across the Delta River, they set up camp at Observation Point (OP) 26, an observation point the Air Force built on top of a downrange ridge. The trip to OP 26 was 32 kilometers over rough terrain and took around about two hours. The building at OP 26 would be the staging area for traveling to the launch and target sites, a place to stay overnight, and would eventually serve as the command and control center during launch.
Throughout the months leading up to testing, support personnel crews traveled across the Delta River to the different test sites and began setting up infrastructure. Crews improved and established winter trails, installed power, put in meteorological stations, trucked equipment to the test sites and flew warm-up shelters into place.
The final test set-up began in January with the arrival of specialized crews from Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Alabama, and Maryland. Crews began working 16-hour days performing a litany of highly technical tasks, which included setting up high-speed video that would capture critical data, setting up the launch system and targets, establishing a highly sophisticated radar tracking system, and installing television screens and computer networking at OP 26. All of this was accomplished without in-ground power; . mobile generators supplied all power. There was a steady stream of traffic on the winter trails between the various test sites throughout the set-up.
Crews completed test set- up in the middle of January and continued to maintain the infrastructure while waiting for the right weather conditions. Ideally, the program was looking to fire the missiles between 20 to 40 below zero, but would fire in warmer temperatures if necessary.
Test personnel had been cold-conditioning the missiles at 25 below zero, with a CRTC- constructed mobile cold chamber for a number of days when the decision was made to fire the first missile.
Twenty-five members of the NLOS-LS team crowded into the tiny command and control at OP 26 and launched the first missile.
A short 110 seconds and 17 kilometers later, the missile impacted and a round of applause could be heard outside the control room. A split-second later the video screens outside showed the impact. This same routine occurred two more times over the next 24 hours, culminating 18 months of planning and preparation.
One of the things that really stood out during the NLOS test for CRTC Commander Lt. Col. John Cavedo, was the flexibility of the workforce to shift gears and redirect work efforts at a moment's notice and the fact that no one on the CRTC team ever said, "it is not my job."
"I watched Soldiers, Department of the Army civilians, and TRAX contractors doing things that were way outside of their job description,." Cavedo said.
Cavedo said this is something that sets CRTC apart from other installations; employees do not have just one area of responsibility.
"They do it because of the inherent sense of mission accomplishment. It is simply amazing what CRTC is capable of doing," he added.
After the firing was complete and the weeks of clean-up were over, Viggato looked back and felt ". . . glad to have had the opportunity to run a test that pushed the limits and expanded the capability of CRTC. The people I have worked with have been incredible and the thanks should go to the entire team," he said. "I am hopeful that CRTC will posture itself for future missions in DTA West as weapons systems develop and ranges and surface danger zones expand."

Architects Rush to the Ramparts In a Battle Over Creative Credit
By DAVID W. DUNLAP
Published: May 31, 2001
When does architecture begin?
At what point between a sketch on the back of an envelope and a fully realized composition in brick, steel and glass has an architect created something distinctive, inimitable and worth protecting as intellectual property?
''An architect's design solution -- concept design -- is the core of creativity in architecture and must qualify for copyright protection,'' reads a statement by the architect Eli Attia, signed by luminaries like Frank O. Gehry, Michael Graves, Philip Johnson, Richard Meier and Robert A. M. Stern.
Mr. Attia's interest is more than academic. For six years he has been unsuccessfully battling New York Presbyterian Hospital and two other architectural firms over whether he deserves credit -- and payment -- for the design of the 11-story, 776-bed Greenberg Pavilion, overlooking the East River between 68th and 70th Streets.
For Mr. Attia, the issue comes down to being recognized and rewarded for his groundwork on the $760 million building, completed in 1998, which is credited to Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum and Taylor Clark Architects.
In a lawsuit against those architects and the hospital, Mr. Attia charges that they stole a copyrighted design, known as Option 1A, that he prepared in 1987. Option 1A called for a floor-by-floor eastward extension of the complex on a trusswork platform above the Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive that could be built without interrupting hospital operations. That is essentially the concept that was used.
But ideas cannot be copyrighted, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit said in 1999, ruling against Mr. Attia's claim even while granting that ''without doubt there are similarities'' between the Greenberg Pavilion plans and Option 1A.
After his defeat, Mr. Attia enlisted the support of Mr. Gehry, Mr. Johnson and the other architects in a petition to the United States Supreme Court that raised the broad issue of what a copyright should protect. Though the Supreme Court decided against hearing his case, he will have one more day in court next Thursday when he appeals a decision awarding the hospital and its architects the recovery of $38,936 in legal fees.
The issue of architectural copyright has continued to ripple through the profession because of and apart from the case.
''This is a crime, really,'' said Mr. Attia (pronounced ah-TEE-ah) in a recent interview at his home and office in Brooklyn Heights. ''A crime where the theft of $46 million in fees occurred.''
''What I gave them was a complete, total plan on how to manage their facilities and a comprehensive design plan,'' Mr. Attia said. Option 1A was described in two booklets copyrighted by Mr. Attia that contained plans, cross-section drawings and diagrams, but not highly detailed ones.
Sam Spata, the chief administrative officer and a senior principal in Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum, said he did not take issue with Mr. Attia's general statement about the significance of concept design, but that he believed Option 1A failed to rise to that level.
''I don't think anyone would say Attia didn't reorient the hospital toward an idea it had explored previously,'' Mr. Spata said. ''But that's not what gets copyrighted. We created an expression, a form, a solution. He did not.''
''Attia claims he showed the hospital how to do it,'' Mr. Spata said. ''I don't think he did that at all. You couldn't just leap from an idea to a major modernization that could get built.''
Mr. Attia and Taylor Clark Architects were engaged as consultants in 1987, according to the Court of Appeals decision, but their relationship ''turned acrimonious'' and the hospital ended the arrangement in 1988. Mr. Attia's firm was paid $496,829. Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum and Taylor Clark were designated the architects in 1989.
Mr. Attia said his breakthrough plan included 20 elements that had never before been considered but that were all incorporated by Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum. ''If you take the 20 items out of what H.O.K. prepared, there's nothing left,'' he said. ''Nothing.''
Central to his claim was an overlay superimposing a 1989 drawing by Hank T. Winkelman of Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum on an Option 1A diagram. Mr. Attia pointed out features, like a distinctive landscape pattern on 68th Street, that Mr. Winkelman appeared to have partly copied.
The Court of Appeals acknowledged that the ''coincidence of a number of lines would raise a question of fact whether Winkelman, using a tracing method, made a rough copy of portions of plaintiff's drawings.''
Even assuming he had, however, ''what he copied was not protected matter,'' the judges concluded.
''No more was taken than ideas and concepts,'' said the decision by Judges Pierre N. Leval, Rosemary S. Pooler and John T. Curtin. ''They are barely a first step toward the realization of a plan.''
''We may assume with plaintiff that the ideas taken, or at least some of them, are powerful, dynamic ideas of immense value to the successful enlargement of the hospital,'' the judges said. ''Under the law of copyright, however, the power of an idea does not improve the creator's right to prevent copying.''

Sundance Review: 'Tyson' puts up a good fight
Is there anything left to say about Mike Tyson? After Robin Givens, Desire Washington and the Evander Holyfield bouts, hasn't the train wreck of the former World Champion's life been dissected enough? Director James Toback ("Two Girls and a Guy") didn't think so and if you're a boxing aficionado or too young to remember Tyson's rise and fall first hand this documentary should be a compelling and entertaining portrait.
Told completely firsthand during sessions shot at a Hollywood Hills home, Tyson comes across as more at peace, mature and articulate than this writer can ever remember. He pointedly never apologizes for anything (including the bizarre moment where he bit Holyfield's ear twice in one fight), but certainly doesn't revel in his more controversial moments.
Told in a conventional linear style, Tyson starts off recalling how rough it was growing up in Brooklyn, and more specifically, Brownsville. It was after being pushed through the juvenile corrections system that his talent for fighting was first recognized and eventually put him under the guidance of legendary boxing trainer Cus D'Amato. As someone who lived just north of D'Amato's Catskill, NY boxing academy, I keenly remember the local news introducing the young Tyson and his harrowing story from skid row to possible champion boxer. And while the death of D'Amato has always been a touchstone for the beginning of Tyson's troubles, hearing the former boxer talk about his former mentor is quite moving. Tyson has discussed him in previous interviews, but it appears the depth of this discussion brings out a vulnerable and emotional side he hasn't really shown before. This is certainly one of the more compelling moments in the doc, but unfortunately it takes place very early on.
Consequently, the film's other intriguing portions are much less personal. Toback smartly has Tyson talk about his mental state and analyze himself over footage of a number of key fights. Thankfully, this commentary isn't overdone, but from a historical perspective it brings great insight into the sport and Tyson's place in it.
Beyond that, there are a few interesting anecdotes (Tyson claims he had gonorrhea during his first title fight vs. Trevor Berbick, but didn't want to tell anyone), and the rehashing of his relationship with Robin Givens isn't as fleshed out as it could have been, but with Tyson only 42-years-old, the film ending is somewhat anti-climatic. Is Tyson really going to be able to stay out of the limelight? This project might have made more sense a decade from now when the years had provided even more prospective.
Its also hard to see "Tyson" making it to theaters, but it is, ironically, classy entertaning fare that could find a home on Showtime or HBO. And as mentioned previously, probably a must for all boxing fans or historians.

Climate change and coral reefs: Trojan horse or false prophecy?

Maynard et al. (Coral Reefs 27:745–749, 2008a) claim that much of the concern about the impacts of climate change on coral reefs has been "based on essentially untested assumptions regarding reefs and their capacity to cope with future climate change". If correct, this claim has important implications for whether or not climate change represents the largest long-term threat to the sustainability of coral reefs, especially given their ad hominem argument that many coral reef scientists are guilty of "popularising worst-case scenarios" at the expense of truth. This article looks critically at the claims made by Maynard et al. (Coral Reefs 27:745–749, 2008a) and comes to a very different conclusion, with the thrust and veracity of their argument being called into question. Contrary to the fears of Grigg (Coral Reefs 11:183–186, 1992), who originally made reference to the Cassandra syndrome due to his concern about the sensationalisation of science, the proposition that coral reefs face enormous challenges from climate change and ocean acidification has and is being established through "careful experimentation, long-term monitoring and objective interpretation". While this is reassuring, coral reef ecosystems continue to face major challenges from ocean warming and acidification. Given this, it is an imperative that scientists continue to maintain the rigour of their research and to communicate their conclusions as widely and clearly as possible. Given the shortage of time and the magnitude of the problem, there is little time to spare.

Another day, another gold
August 12, 2008: Another day, another gold My favorite image of Wednesday morning was the start of the Men's 100m backstroke. I intentionally picked a spot that gave me a nice view down the start/finish line. It was especially good for this image.

I first saw this product on a scrapbook presentation on a TV show and just loved all the features presented. By the time I decided to buy, it was sold out.....I came to this superstore to purchase and it was sold out here as well.....I put my name on the list to notify me when it came back in stock. I ordered once I was notified that it was back in stock.
I have to tell you that this is by far the BEST scrapbooking tool I have purchased to date. I can't believe it took me so long to invest in a GOOD mat. The oversized mat is great. There's room to have your 12 x 12 layout and still work off to the side. The oversized ruler is nice as well.....The magnetic element is by far the BEST feature about this product. it comes with 8 little magnets that have just the right amount of magnetism to them. They hold your papers, embellies in place while still being able to manuever things around on your layout until you decide you want to adhere it. The craft/Xacto knife is nice as well. I haven't used the rotary cutter or circle cutter yet, but if they are up to the same quality as the other items, I'm sure they are great too.
The mat/ruler/magnets are worth the price of admission. I love this product and I just can't believe it took me so long but was definitely worth the wait.
I love this entire kit and am very glad I spent the money. I was originally looking for a good circle cutter and saw that this came with one and so much more! The mat is magnetic which makes keeping your paper still while cutting so easy. It comes with 8 smaller magnets for holding embellishments onto your page until you are ready to attach them, which is great if you're always running out of time!
Only cons: The rotary cutter leaves a little much to be desired but I use the craft knife instead which works great. The circle cutter is a little rough on pictures printed on thinner photo paper but again, I'm so happy with how good it works on other things that I do not mind.
You've GOT to get one of these!
I saw someone using a magnetic ruler and mat at one of my lss and looked everywhere locally for one. Then I came across this and had to get it. I am very pleased with the size of both the ruler and mat, and also the strength of the magnet. Haven't tried the circle cutter yet, but everything else is well worth it. I think the oversized ruler and mat make it worth it in itself.
The oversized mat and ruler and the BEST, giving plenty of work space when working with 12" x 12" papers and cardstock. The rotary cutter works for cutting straight stripts of paper or fabric. Every tool in this set is wonderful to work with.

The English Premier League season kicks off tomorrow morning and I can't wait!
It should be a good competitive season with many teams having a chance to raise the trophy at season's end.
Here is how I predict the top 10 to finish:
1. Chelsea
A new manager in charge but it doesn't matter, this team is full of consistent players and leaders on the pitch like Lampard and Terry. Skeptics will say they are too old but I say a veteran team has an advantage.
2. Manchester United
They lost Ronaldo. They lost Tevez. I think it wont matter becuase the goals will come through and improved Rooney and a Berbatov determined to show he was worthy of his heavy price tag. Also this still might be the best defensive team in all of Europe.
3. Arsenal
Toure and Adebayor left for the money to head to Manchester City casusing many to doubt this team. I think these guys were overrated as Ade was a failure last season and Toure is well past his prime. These young Gunners should have the best attack in the league thanks to a full season out of Andre Arshavin.
4. Liverpool
They have Torres and they have Gerrard, thats enough to win many games in this league. The loss of Alonso will hurt them big time though. Still a talented and hard working team that should easily finish in the top 4 and contend all season.
The rest:
5. Manchester City - Spent a lot of money to bring in talent but not enough chemistry to finish in top 4
6. Everton - Hard working team always finishes high
7. Tottenham - Talented though very inconsistent, you never know with these guys
8. Aston Villa - Barry leaves for Man City, hurts them big time but watch Ashley Young
9. Fulham - Dream season last year, will fall back to earth a bit
10. West Ham - Maybe Cole finally reaches his potential as a top striker
So come talk trash, pimp your team, and follow the season here!

Kings Desert Shado Camo Help

Does anyone have any experience with Kings Desert Shadow Camo? Is it as good as it looks? Any likes or dislikes? I've looking at it for a while and don't know anything about it. I know Les uses it but is it that good or is it just his sponsor? Any input would be great. Thanks guys.Ty
Posted 28 December 2009 - 12:33 PM
Its good stuff, pricey, but it looks good.Is it the perfect camo?? There is no such thing, other than natural vegetation.It matches & blends with alot of varying terrain, which is good.I've got the Kings DS Rain Gear, which is nice stuff, but not a very quiet material for slipping in quietly.Some other camo's I'm looking at, are the Mossy Oak Brush camo & the Seclusion 3D Open Country camo Both are good lookin patterns.Hope this helps, Lee
Posted 28 December 2009 - 06:25 PM
I've been looking at the mossy oak brush too. Thanks, we'll see.Ty
Posted 28 December 2009 - 06:29 PM
not the mossy oak brush unless your laying down. It looks great to our eyes. have someone wear it and back up to a hundred yards. there silhouette sticks out like a soar thumb. Def. take the king's camo over the brush. don't get me wrong the brush will work. But if were getting nitty gritty... take my word
Posted 28 December 2009 - 06:39 PM
Thanks man. My buddy bought some of the mossy oak brush because we both thought it looked good in the book. I found the kings desert shadow after that. I think the Kings is really cool. It looks like it blends in well. Still looking. Ty
Posted 28 December 2009 - 09:02 PM
I was gonna get some Brush as well, then started looking around about patterns and stuff. The Marine Digi Summer (desert) looks the best to me. If I had to get a second choice I would go with Multi-Cam. I would only go with Multi-Cam since we hopefully will be switching to it in the near future! Of course if that isn't quite what you want, get an old set of DCU's from a surplus store, and make a ghuile suit out of em.
Posted 29 December 2009 - 12:31 AM
It's really nice stuff, but as mentioned the price is a little high. I saw some stuff that was just as nice at the sportsman show in Sacramento 2 years ago and it was priced alot better I just can't remember who made it. Look around there's nice stuff out there. I currently use the new desert digital camo. Since I hunt mostly in the high desert in N. Cal and N. NV.
Posted 29 December 2009 - 01:02 PM
Kings camo is perfect for dry scrub, grass, or any other desert terrainy that you are likely to find. I love the stuff imensely and it holds its own on coyotes and deer.
Posted 29 December 2009 - 08:51 PM
Depends where you hunt. The Brushy camo like Caseyu said looks good until you get 100 yards away or so then you stick out. I have owned every pattern of camo you could think of including many Gilli suits. The way camo works is this: If it's a small pattern like Brush, it will fade in the farther away you get, so you want something that matches your terrain. I have found that the Max-1 camo is the best for all around use form the desert to the rolling hills of Ca in the winter and spring. In the summer when the grass is tall, I start using M24D Camo. M24d stands for "Made to deceive" and it's great for summer / fall ca hunting in the grassy rolling hills. ( www.m2dcamo.com ) Predator mag did a writeup on it a few months ago and when you wear it, your very hidden. Another approach to desert is the cabelas " Open country camo" I'm even starting to like it better than my max 1. Another thing to remember is you don't want camo that's too busy. A lot of patterns try to hard and block everything out with colors to impress us. Most camo is made to pleasure the wearer, not the game. Coyotes and big game see in a different light spectrum than humans. I totally believe in spraying my clothes with UV Killer as an added edge. I have had very close encounters with coyotes that would make the hair stand straight up on your head. Hope this helps.Alan
Posted 12 February 2010 - 02:43 PM
Keep in mind the Kings button up shirt is not patterned on the inside, so keep it buttoned up unless you want to send white flashes when it opens up. Otherwise I like the pattern for many CA situations/seasons. Also, wait for the sales on King's e-mail list or your retailers.
Posted 12 February 2010 - 03:50 PM
This may be random and seem useless, but keep in mind...Coyotes see greens as different shades of white. Don't know why, but I thought that may help.
Posted 12 February 2010 - 06:47 PM
Any idea on how to "fix" the MO Brush so it isn't so bad? Maybe splatter some dyes on it or something? Anyone gotta photo of it at 100 yards so we can see?

Leukemia & Lymphoma
Effects of Childhood Cancer Can Linger Long After Disease Is Gone
Jan. 17, 2001 -- Twenty-five-year-old Matthew McKee might have dreamed at one time of playing for a professional sports team. But 10 years ago, when he was an athletic teenager playing four high school sports, that dream was cut short when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease.
"I grew up very athletic and sports-minded," McKee says. "After the diagnosis was made, I tried to keep up with my sports, but I had to give it up. The chemotherapy wiped me out, and I'd come home vomiting."
A year later, the Hodgkin's reappeared and McKee, his doctors, and parents decided the best course of treatment was a bone marrow transplant. He tells WebMD that he tends to "block out" a lot of what happened during the treatment and his recovery. But he remembers it as a lonely time. He was in isolation at the hospital for 30 days and for almost half of that only fully suited medical personnel could be in the room. After that, visitors still had to be garbed in medical scrubs and masks.
Returning home didn't lift many of the restrictions. He was tutored for a semester and could only leave the house for doctors' appointments and he had to wear a surgical mask for those ventures.
"I was so susceptible to infection we were even told I couldn't eat anything that anyone from outside the family brought for us," he recalls.
Now coordinator of season ticket operations for the Dallas Stars hockey team and the Texas Rangers baseball team, McKee is married, fully recovered, and looks forward to visits with his doctors at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth.
He has no fears of returning disease or any physical side effects from the traumatic illness and treatment, other than some arthritis-like changes in a hip that might be linked to chemotherapy. "I'm confident that I'm healthy," McKee says. "The first couple of years when I'd go back for my checkups, it was in the back of my mind that they might find something. But now I don't think about it." Not all childhood cancer survivors share McKee's confident attitude and outlook, however.

Tattooing: another way to keep your dog safe
PetSmart From the book "The American Pit Bull Terrier" Copyright 2006 by T.F.H. Publications
Developed by the founders of the National Dog Registry, tattooing is a simple, affordable means of permanently identifying your dog. It is painless to a dog because as dog's skin structure is so different from a human's that the tattoo marker doesn't need to be inserted very deeply into the dog's epidermis, or outer skin layer. The best location for an identification tattoo is the inside of the thigh, where the hair is sparse and the numbers are readily seen.
Microchipping is another common way for vets and other pet professionals to identify your dog if he is lost. Read more on microchipping.

I installed Ubuntu, Xampp, then WordPress on a PC to test the environment. I have to say it's fun, however, some tutorials regarding said environment are tl;dr and so I've come here :) This is a first for me so any references are welcomed.
Question #1 - I installed WP in my
/home/wordpress/ directory with a soft link from
/opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress/ thinking I was going to have a set of default permissions that allow me to update via the Dashboard. I was wrong.
Example: When I go to update Akismet, the Dashboard prompts me to enter my FTP information.
Connection Information
To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access your web server. Please enter your FTP credentials to proceed. If you do not remember your credentials, you should contact your web host.
What permissions am I lacking or what step am I missing to enable?
Question #2 - What are some recommended practices, resources, or apps that enhance a WordPress development environment using Ubuntu?
Question #3 - What is NOT recommended when running this environment?

The nation's Top 100 Retailers grab the spotlight this issue, STORES' annual salute to the biggest names in the retail arena. In many ways, these leading retail chains are the engine that drives our economy.
Not to be overlooked, however, are the smaller chains and independent stores. While it would be enormously difficult for us to rank these retailers in a meaningful way, make no mistake: There are plenty of mom-and-pops that are "tops" at what they do. And, in any number of instances, they could teach the big guys a thing or two about retail basics.
I have the good fortune of having one of those small-yet-extraordinary retailers right in my backyard: Pellegrini Prime Meats. The shop personifies the hometown butcher shop — and then some. Along with an enormous selection of meats and cold cuts, there are fresh fruits and vegetables, cheeses, olive oils and a selection of pastas. There are trays and trays of mouth-watering prepared foods and a section of the shop devoted exclusively to fish.
Pellegrini's is a standout when it comes to customer service. They know me — if not by name, by face — and every one of the butchers will smile and say "hello" as I'm standing at the counter. It's really nothing short of extraordinary — and it feels warm and welcoming to be on the receiving end of such friendliness.
They always ask how I'm preparing my purchase — do I want my chicken cutlet pounded, the kabobs marinated or the roast beef shrink-wrapped to assure optimal freshness when I cook it a day or two later. Over the years, they've shared grilling and cooking tips to help ensure that I didn't under-cook pork or over-cook a filet mignon. On a handful of occasions one of the butchers has insisted on carrying my packages to my car, even though it's parked a short walk from the store.
Pellegrini's sells premium product at a premium price, but it's clear you're getting a lot more for your money than just that night's dinner. For years the owners, Al and Baldo, have been advertising in local flyers, typically offering a 10-percent-off coupon. As a weekly (and sometimes bi-weekly) shopper, I covet these coupons.
The store celebrated 50 years in business recently, but there's nothing staid about their marketing; they just began sending deal-of-the-week e-mails. There's only one caveat: You have to bring the e-mail with you. Sure, that means making a print-out, but it also makes the customer feel a bit special: Only those who have the printout receive the discount.
Long Island has great supermarkets, and I spend my fair share of time and money at them buying cereals, dairy, paper goods, pet food, etc., but I never buy meat there. Pellegrini's has won my heart and my business.

Hamish Bowles Is Not a Member of Condé Nast's Majority
That's one name to cross off the list.
Vogue's European editor-at-large, Hamish Bowles, shrugged off the notion of being a member of the Majority, Condé Nast's super-secret cabal of A-gays, when we asked him about it at the Museum at F.I.T.'s Couture Council summer party. "No," he told us. "I never got CC'ed on those memos." Well, then. This club is even more exclusive than we'd imagined. View more in our Party Lines slideshow.

I have an access report based on a query that contains around 160 records. This number varies over time. I would like to be able to split this into 36 equal(ish) parts which will be emailed to various people once a week (each person should receive a unique set of records).
Obviously 160 can't be divided by 36 equally, so for this example some people would receive 4 records and some would receive 5.
I'd like to send the emails using a Macro and the SendObject Action.


text: Orexigen Therapeutics Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Orexigen Therapeutics ( OREX) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of pharmaceutical product candidates for the treatment of obesity. This stock is trading up 7.6% to $4.95 in recent trading. Today's Range: $4.65-$5.14 52-Week Range: $1.26-$7.73 Volume: 2.9 million Three-Month Average Volume: 4.1 million Shares of OREX are ripping higher today in front of its presentation at an investor conference on Wednesday, and after it released related information about its ongoing drug studies ahead of the meeting. >>5 Rocket Stocks Worth Buying This Week From a technical perspective, OREX is bouncing sharply here right off some near-term support at $4.50 with decent volume. This move is quickly pushing OREX within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit once OREX clears some near-term overhead resistance at $4.85, and then once it takes out its 50-day moving average of $5.11 with high volume. At last check, OREX has hit an intraday high of $5.14 and volume is about 1 million shares below its three-month average action of 4,075,770 shares. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in OREX once it sustains a move or close above $4.85 to $5.11 with volume that's near or above 4.1 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then OREX has a great chance of heading north of $6, and possibly tagging its July high of $7.73. Traders should key off of $4.50 to $4.30 as support zones if you buy off weakness. Prev 2 of 5 Next

Pilot drops some parachutists from free-fall altitude, points the plane straight down, levels off just above the treetops and then screams in for a landing a carrier pilot would blanch at.
Why fly like that? Maybe he was showing off for the camera, but more likely it is for the same reasons the pilots at the skydive center I used in college flew like that - well, okay, not really just like that! But they did drop down to land very quickly after we'd jumped.
The reason is that commercial skydive centers make money only when their customers make a jump. Empty, descending airplanes don't make money, only full, ascending planes do. The financial imperative is to make each flight's turnaround as short as possible.
But this seems a bit extreme!

The No. 25 Sam Houston State baseball team enters its final weekend of Southland Conference play tied with Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and will welcome the Islanders to Don Sanders Stadium with the conference title up for grabs.
The Bearkats (37-15, 19-8) and Islanders (30-22, 19-8) are slated for a three game set beginning Thursday with first pitch scheduled for 6:30 p.m. The clubs will also play Friday at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday at 1 p.m.
Sam Houston is riding a nine-game conference winning streak after three straight sweeps over Houston Baptist, Stephen F. Austin and Southeastern Louisiana.
The Kats are in contention to clinch their third straight regular season league title. Four seniors, Anthony Azar, Luke Plucheck, Jason Simms and Alan Scott will be honored prior to Saturday's first pitch.
Sam Houston is coming off a 3-1 midweek loss at Texas A&M while A&M-Corpus Christi's last action came this weekend taking two-of-three from Lamar but dropping the series finale, 10-7.
Thursday: RHP Tyler Eppler (7-5, 3.70 ERA) vs. RHP Matt Danton (7-2, 3.18 ERA)
Friday: RHP Jason Simms (5-2, 2.55 ERA) vs. LHP Trevor Belicek (4-5, 3.81 ERA)
Saturday: TBA vs. RHP Devin Skapura (4-3, 4.55 ERA)
Senior Anthony Azar will make his 155th appearance in a Bearkat uniform on Thursday and has led Sam Houston in run production each of his three seasons. His career totals include a .339 batting average, 198 hits, 127 RBI, 39 doubles and 18 home runs.
Offensively, the Islanders counter with leadoff hitter Brandon Tierney who over 50 games is batting .351 while leading the club in hits (67), total bases (91) and slugging percentage (.476).
A&M-Corpus Christi enters the weekend having won five straight Southland series including triumphs over Lamar, Abilene Christian, Oral Roberts, Northwestern State and Houston Baptist.
Jason Simms will make his final regular season start in the pivotal Saturday matchup. The Argyle High School product has appeared in 45 games and holds a career 2.63 ERA with 76 strikeouts in 106 innings. Simms, formerly the Bearkat closer, has tossed two complete games as a starter in 2014.
Reliever Alan Scott will also be in his final home action after three years as a Bearkat. Scott led the team with a 1.16 ERA last season and was on the mound with the Kats clinched the 2013 NCAA Regional Opener against Louisiana-Lafayette. Soctt has made 18 appearances in 2014 and is second on the team with four saves.
Senior Luke Plucheck, a fixture in left field for Sam Houston, will make his 215th appearance after tallying 193 hits, 28 doubles, 11 triples, 15 homers, 120 runs scored and 109 RBI. The Tomball product has made a name as one of the league's premier outfielders and earned all-conference honors in 2012 and 2013.
All three games this weekend are "Youth Baseball Days." Any youth baseball and softball player who wears their uniform to the game will receive free admission and parent's tickets start at $6.
Kids will have the opportunity to run the bases after Saturday's regular season finale. Purchase tickets online by clicking here or over the phone by calling 936-294-1729.

Jeremy W. Ward earned his Ph.D. in Physics (2015) from Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, and his B.A. in Physics and Mathematics (2006) from Simpson College in Indianola, IA. His doctoral research interests included investigations on the self-patterning fabrication and electrical properties of solution-processed organic field-effect transistors within the Organic Electronics Research Group led by Prof. Oana D. Jurchescu. Ward was a 2013 Wake Forest University's Richter Scholar, serving as a visiting researcher within the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB) near Barcelona, Spain, and is a National Science Foundation's Graduate Research Fellow (NSF-GRFP) from 2012 to 2015.
Ward draws from his passion of working with people, specifically those interested in learning and working together in creative and productive ways. He will provide a unique perspective to a Congressional office by drawing from his experiences in the United States military, as a youth soccer coach, as a Ph.D. scholar within the materials science community, and through his strong ties to the secondary education community. While Ward's future policy interests include STEM education, ranging from early childhood to post-secondary stages, he is looking forward to learning about the interdisciplinary nature of using federal policy to address the science and education-related problems of today.
2014-2015 TMS/MRS Congressional Science and Engineering Fellow:
Adria Wilson
Office of Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
Adria Wilson earned her Ph.D. in Chemistry (2014) from Duke University and her B.S. in Chemistry (2009) from Drexel University. Her thesis work was focused on synthesizing and characterizing bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts with well-controlled structures for investigating the influence of the nanoparticle structure on its performance as a catalyst. During her graduate school career, Adria was active in several student-run societies, including the Duke graduate student sustainability group. As a student, Adria was funded by the National Science Foundation through the Graduate Researcher Fellowship Program (NSF-GRFP), and was selected to accompany the US Delegation to the 2013 Lindau Meeting of Nobel Laureates in Chemistry as a Young Researcher. Adria first discovered her passion for working at the interface of science and policy during her undergraduate studies, while pursuing a minor in political science. Her participation in a Model U.N. conference in particular gave her a glimpse into policy-making at the international level. While continued to learn about policy from a citizen's perspective by participating in several grassroots campaigns during graduate school, and, as an attendee of the Lindau meeting, had the unique opportunity to engage several Nobel Laureates in one-on-one conversation regarding the relationship between science and the government, and their perspective on some of the most important technological issues that need to be addressed by legislators and scientists in the near future. Adria's policy interests include renewable energy technology implementation, environmental conservation, and STEM education, but she is also looking forward to learning about and exploring other policy areas.
2013-2014 TMS/MRS Congressional Science and Engineering Fellow:
Megan Brewster
United States Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
Megan Brewster earned her Ph.D. in Material Science and Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2011) and B.S. in Material Science and Engineering from the University of Washington (2006). While at MIT, Megan's doctoral research led to a deeper understanding of fundamental energy carriers in individual semiconductor nanostructures. She has additional research experience with ceramics, optical fibers, phosphors, biomaterials, neurobiology, and graphene. Megan's strong interest in the government's ability to enable technological innovations motivated her to obtain a Ph.D. minor in Technology and Public Policy. Megan is also a deep supporter of women in science, and her numerous leadership roles (most notably, Graduate Women at MIT co-founder) earned her a variety of accolades, including the Distinguished Dedication Student Leader and Graduate Woman of Excellence Awards. After receiving her Ph.D. in 2011, Megan moved to GE Global Research in Schenectady, NY where her broad and deep scientific expertise supported the Durathon battery start-up by developing next-generation technologies. Megan is inspired by the government's ability to unite disparate interests to realize technological innovations, and sees this fellowship as an exceptional opportunity to pursue policy as a career path.
2012-2013 TMS/MRS Congressional Science and Engineering Fellow:
Andrew "Drew" Steigerwald
Office of Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH)
Andrew Steigerwald earned his B.E. (2005) from Ohio State University, M.S. (2007) from Fisk University and Ph.D. (2010) in Interdisciplinary Materials Science and Engineering from Vanderbilt University as a National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) Fellow. His thesis work focused on the development of photoacoustic spectroscopy as a technique for characterizing radiation damage in semiconductors. While working on his Ph.D., Steigerwald worked extensively on novel thin-film growth techniques, studied ultrafast dynamics of diluted magnetic semiconducting systems for use in potential spintronic devices, and spent time as a visiting scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Following his Ph.D., Steigerwald continued as a post-doctoral researcher at Vanderbilt, working to understand the nanoscale relationship between structural disorder and optoelectronic modification in optical devices. Steigerwald's interest in public policy started at Ohio State University as a member of the Undergraduate Student Senate where he worked to promote the diverse interests of the student body and acted as the liaison to the board of trustees. His time spent at an HBC institution, work at a national laboratory, participation in public-private research ventures, and attendance at a symposium series hosted by Vanderbilt, which focused on the role of scientists in government, helped reinforce Steigerwald's desire to become directly involved in science policy.
2011-2012 TMS/MRS Congressional Science and Engineering Fellow:
Jennifer Nekuda Malik
United States Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
Jennifer Nekuda Malik earned her Ph.D. (2008), M.S. (2006), and B.S. (2005) in Metallurgy and Materials Engineering from Colorado School of Mines (CSM). Her thesis work was a collaborative project between CSM and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) that focused on development and optimization of deposition and processing conditions for liquid-based precursors for copper-indium-gallium-diselenide (CIGS) photovoltaics. While working on her Ph.D., Malik earned both an R&D 100 Award and recognition for Excellence in Technology Transfer for her work with hybrid CIGS. Following her Ph.D., Malik worked as a post-doctoral researcher at Imperial College London, characterizing and optimizing the microstructure of both hybrid (organic-inorganic) and organic materials for electronic applications. Malik's interest in public policy started in high school when she had the opportunity to participate in mock government and see first-hand how public policy is formed. She continued to develop this interest at CSM through the McBride Honors Program.
