According to United Nations sources, the entire town of Haskanita in Darfur has been completely burned down and over 15,000 of its inhabitants forced to flee for their lives. The town is completely under the control of the Sudan army and its janjaweed associates who have been responsible for most deaths of innocent people in Darfur. A UN spokesperson said the Sudan army entered the town after rebels attacked a nearby UN camp and killed ten soldiers. Haskanita now lies in ruins as Sudan soldiers and members of the janjaweed patrol its streets where smoldering fires can still be seen. "There's absolutely no doubt the army and the janjaweed did it," says a spokesperson for the UN.
A perennial problem in the UN's mandate to be in Darfur stems from its lack of jurisdiction in responding to security issues. For the most part, UN troops are in a passive mode unable to initiate action nor do they even have the right to investigate security problems! The notorious janjaweed thugs roam at will still engaged in their program of raping, brutalizing, and killing thousands of people in Darfur. The UN must dispatch more troops and equipment, particularly helicopters that can roam the area and be allowed to fire upon the janjaweed. How can a town of 15,000 be burned down by the government of the Sudan without any response to such an action?

The Canisius College swimming and diving team has added Rebecca Anthone to its 2014 recruting class, head coach Scott Vanderzell announced on Monday.
The Clarence native was a four-time All-American for the Red Devils. She helped her team win its second-consecutive New York State Championship this fall as a member of the record-setting 400-yard freestyle team as well as racing to a second-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle.
"Rebecca is a top-notch athlete in the area," Vanderzell said. "She's going to bring a competitive edge and add depth to our program. She works tremendously hard in the pool, not just when she races but when she practices as well and I think it's going to bring a whole new level to our girls' team."
Anthone joins a Griffs program that's on the rise, with the women having recorded its highest point total in program history during a fifth place finish at last year's MAAC Championships.

FORT WAYNE, Ind.—The First Mondays lecture series kicks off February 3 with presentation by Assem Nasr, assistant professor of media and communication at Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW).
"Sexuality, Identity, and the Power of Language in the Arab World" takes place from noon to 1:15 p.m. in the Science Building, Room 185. The lecture will explore the relationship between political and religious institutions; the process cultures use to define social stigmas for femininity, masculinity, and homosexuality; and the enforcement of the social constructions of gender and gender roles. Nasr will do this by examining Lebanon as a case study for the Arab world.
The First Mondays lecture series is sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences (COAS) and gives faculty members the opportunity to share interesting aspects of their research in an relaxed setting. These events are free and open to the public.
For more information on this event visit the COAS website or the First Mondays website.

Dear Lucy,
I have been teaching for over two years, but have been using quite a different methodology from what has been requested of me.
Do you have any ideas how I would create a lesson plan for the above topic, encompassing: introductions, explaining job and tasks to level B1 students?
Any advice and tips would be warmly welcome.
Thank you so much.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|There is no substitute for practical experience. I am 63, and have been doing this for 40 years. I learn something almost every day. When you think you know it all you might as well quit, because everything will pass you by. Keep looking at new supplies, new techniques, and anything else that can make your work better. Find more web sites to learn from, I'm sure there are web sites dedicated to marine upholstery. Take a look at Sailrite's web site for example. http://www.sailrite.com/ Good luck.
First you never quit learning s there is always something new and different..Two you are your own worst critic...Three there may be an upholstery class in your area..Four good luck..

Gaining experience
I'm learning a lot just by reading all the posts. Other than experience, what is the best way to learn upholstery? I've done all my sewing on an old singer 188KI that I rebuilt myself. It works ok for the most part, but doesn't have a walking foot. In process of buying either a consew, or singer 111W156 (mentioned on previous post). Can't wait to get the deal done. In reading the posts from all the guys with multiple years of experience, I find myself thinking I should have found this calling long ago. I'll be sixty soon, and wonder.... how long did it take you guys to hone your skill? I want to increase my abilities at sewing full length, 30' sailboat covers, biminis, etc. So far, I've done ok with my projects, but they have been for me, and I would like to do more for others (huge demand in my area). Are there classes in learning this business? I'm not making high end auto upholstery, but owners of $30,000-and up boats are pretty demanding (and should be). I know it's dependent on my skills and commitment, but any advice form you veterans would be appreciated.

3 months, perfect... I can catch up on my bills, and save the money..
sorry for the double post.......
I sent you the payment for that favor.. Thanks Vod.
No probs mate, I'll get it sorted in the morning.
In the meantime, I've just looked at the clock and had a bit of a double take as I didn't realise I had spent so long on this today, anyhoo, here are the update pictures!
It's coming along nicely, I actually like examining these pictures to spot where I need to make changes
OH MY GOD I AM DROOLING SOOOO MUCH HERE, someone get a mop
Hey guys, had most of the afternoon to work on it and I'm really getting there now, take a look :
Just getting things smooth and right now
I love having an iPhone... I get to look at the progress of this awesome piece of work even at work . Great job vod, this is gonna be so nice to see in real life.
Heh, Adonian I'll get you a mop, but need one for muself first! Lol
I cant wait to see more!!!! I seriously cant!!
Keep going!!
Amazing job saz!
I know its really to late but heres a picture of a krayt dragon
Looks like a big red X to me! Darnn! I better scrap this and start again then!
NOOOOOO! shouldnt have posted that!
Looks like a krayt to me.
there is more than 1 type:
So keep up the good work buddy
Just flesh it out a little bit, then it will be POIFECT!!! :P
Awesome, Saz! Looking forward to the next picture update *coughcoughnudgenudge*. What about the other idea you toyed around with on the helmet? Didn't like it? It LOOKS pretty cool from the small bit I can see of it in the photo...
Looking good.
The Celtic knot will be another helmet, I was curious as to how it would look and I was figuring out how I'd do it. I think I've worked it out, but it's going to take a lot of work and I'd prefer to concentrate on the dragon and get that lovely and pristine before I think about anything else
Yes, I was, adonian. Looking forward to seeing how you play with that idea, saz--should be pretty cool.
Well, I think I've finished the basic shape, just got the fun task of etching the scales on now!
The Celtic knots will be another bucket, but that won't stop anyone customising it further when they buy them though
Well done ner vod!
Add me to the list please!! I might have t bow out, but I hope not.

SBG Mentorship Program helps first-year law students
DETROIT (Oct. 26, 2010) – It isn't easy to obtain a law degree. It's challenging to balance classes, studies, work, on-campus involvement and a personal life. Throw in some competition with your peers and it can be downright daunting.
Fortunately, students and alumni have long lauded Wayne State University Law School's friendly and supportive environment. So much so, in fact, that the Student Board of Governors (SBG) has made it a priority to ensure Wayne Law students continue to support one another through a new Mentorship Program.
Mentor/mentee pairs Tom Smith
"We understand the anxiety that this environment can create," said Michelle Ciaverilla, SBG secretary, who helped form the program this year. "We think it is important that students are getting the best experience possible at Wayne Law."
"One of SBG's goals and charges is to continue to create a vibrant and supportive campus community," added Eric Berg, a third-year student mentor and former member of SBG, who played a key role in establishing the program. "We have found that first-year students benefit from the support and advice of their fellow law students. The goal of this program is to ensure that each student who wants a support network has one. Empowering students to serve each other reinforces the culture we aim to build on campus. It also helps spur and reinforce a long tradition of involvement and service to Wayne Law as alumni."
According to Tom Smith, SBG student council representative who helped organize the program, approximately 50 mentors already have been paired with about 80 mentees. Mentors have taken their mentees to lunch, shown them around campus, even called the Admissions Office on their behalf to help with orientation issues, Smith said.
Bonnie Smith is a first-year law student participating in the program. "I signed up to gain the perspective of an upper-level student on law school and other related pressures," she said. "I hope to meet as many people as I can because I think law students need the support of not only their direct peers, but others who have already driven through this tornado that is law school."
Bonnie's mentor is SBG President Aisa Villarosa. "I feel very comfortable knowing that I can ask her anything and she won't laugh at me," Bonnie said.
As a mentor, Ciaverilla personally met with her three mentees before orientation to let them know what to expect during that process, to get their schedules, talk about their professors, and give tips on the best way to succeed professionally and personally in law school. "I also talked about getting jobs after your first year, about the pros and cons of being involved in student organizations and journals, and a lot about what to expect on the ever-frightening exam," Ciaverilla said.
First-year student Greg Kernasovsky is one of Ciaverilla's mentees. "Michelle has been helpful and supportive in my law school endeavors thus far. She has provided insight and perspective on classes, professors, study habits and outlines," he said. "This has helped alleviate some confusion, stress and pressure of dealing with the world of first-year coursework and general first-year anxieties."
A mentorship kick-off event was held on Oct. 14 in Wayne Law's newly renovated student lounge. SBG provided drinks, pizza and salad.
"The mentorship kick-off provided a fun, casual venue for the pairs to meet, while introducing the students to our new student lounge space," Villarosa said. "The student lounge will hopefully be used as a meeting place for mentors and mentees in the future. "
For more information on SBG's Mentorship Program, contact Tom Smith at firstname.lastname@example.com or Ciaverilla at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Memories of Barry Island

Is there anyone reading this with memories of Barry Island in 1955? I am writing a book and two of my characters stay in a holiday cottage late summer of that year. Where can you suggest would be an area at that time that had holiday homes. You may even know a street name or two. What was the name of the ...Read full memory
Barry Island In The 50s And 60s
I traveled to Barry Island every summer because it was the nearest seaside to Brynmawr where we lived. The excitement of seeing the sea was overwhelming, and every time I would be sick on the old coach taking us there. We would first spend a few hours on the beach, then a walk around the shops, hoping ...Read full memory

Re: Nothing Beats the Monkey V2
I'm wondering why this isn't in the fog, and my only explanation is that many wooters must have irrational fears of little dancing monkeys. It's either that or the phonograph--those things can make pretty ominous shadows in the dark.
ramyb wrote:I don't normally feel the need to respond to you, but there is a clear methodology represented in the design. I included a representation of Rosalind Franklin's xray crystallography experiment, basic double helix models, and then the up close molecular structure of the individual elements and base pairing. And considering that dancing flasks, arbitrary math equations and birds sitting on people's heads are all considered scientific method in this derby, I'd say I put in a pretty strong effort to make this on topic. And considering woot essentially said that putting a beaker on any shirt would make it on topic, I'd say that any tie to science of any sort should make things on topic this week. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assue you didn't recognize the elements in the design, rather than just choosing to ignore them.
They all just haters! Keep doing your thing, it's fantastic.
Darquis wrote:Put your comment back, it was good!
haha; okay. I just hate being really pedantic but I fell in love with genetics in 8th grade so I will ramble..
mrwednesday wrote:
And to use this as a tie in to the scientific method is pretty weak anyway since rarely is the accepted method of science "steal someone else's data and use it to scoop their research."
isn't this how Watson and Crick came up with DNA's structure - stealing her pictures? As well as Chargraff's ideas... I'm glad you also pointed out that you couldn't see her picture in the design (I couldn't either). I think I recall reading that you work with genetics as well so I figured you'd catch that. I honestly would think that was pretty otterific(referencing Franklin, who died young and didn't receive the Nobel..) and could see that working into the scientific method theme if there were other references to the milestones of DNA discovery...like the Hershey/Chase experiments, Griffith and Avery....you could even go as far back as to the time when they separated the study of chromosomes from embryology - and of course, the great Mendel. All of those moments required use of the scientific method. :\ This is a really difficult theme...
edit: after staring at it for a while though; I did see Dr. Franklin's design wayyyy in the background which I found unfortunate as I still wish she had received more recognition during her (short) lifetime so I always think of her photograph as something that should be very prominent.
Re: Made of carbon
I dont see how this is related to the theme
Re: Atoms of Science

Siax wrote:I dont see how this is related to the theme
How is it not related, do you not see the carbon molecular structure there?
phantompeanut wrote:How is it not related, do you not see the carbon molecular structure there?
That's science. This is supposed to be scientific method: a theory, an experiment, someone hypothesizing an idea, trying out things. A carbon molecule on a shirt does none of these things.

Re: Test Tube Baby
I have a feeling this is going to get rejected with the H, O, X, Y, etc. it may slip by though with how wmall they are.
Re: from the hypothesis to the law
I think that it's both abstract and loosely tied to scientific method. A lot moreso than most of the shirt designs I've seen thus far for this derby.

This is a shirt I can stand behind, and a nice departure from your usual style. Good job
Maybe a slight smattering of color either on the jelly or make it look like jelly got on the schematics, I think that would sell it even better, then it would also be applied science.

I think the way the letters are used would fit woot's limited use of text this week - the flipside is, this shirt could easily be rejected for being off theme instead.

Re: Taco Math
Love the shirt, and as many others have said I might need to go get some tacos now. However, the reason I'm writing this is that the blacksmith in me says knives shouldn't have right angles connecting the blade to the tang (metal inside the handle). It hasn't stopped me from voting and won't stop me from buying, just wanted to throw that out there
Re: Albert Funkenstein and The Scientific Method!

Re: PreModern Contraption
This is pretty cool, but that guy is really creepy.
One thing to concern yerself about is the size of this.
I just got kdeuce's Akkorokamui-san and I'm seriously contemplating returning the shirt because the size of the design wasn't at all impressive with the resize to fit into the printing area. I remember voting enthusiastically for it because it was placed lower onto the shirt and crawled upward in a lovely way.
I like shirts that utilize the bottom of the shirt, but with Woot's print area, it leaves for a good chunk of negative space before the design sits... and then the design feels compromised.
Sorry this isn't necessarily about your specific design... but I felt as though it were a little necessary to bring up the possibility of resizing disappointment.
tgentry wrote:What Is and What Should Never Be
We have the technology, but does that make it right?
I figured someone must have done this before but I couldn't find it anywhere else, possibly because the search parameters are so vague. If someone does know of a similar shirt please pass it along.
I enjoy this, but I wish it was in a derby that allowed words, cause I think it'd have more of an impact with this design saying like "Just because we can, Doesn't mean we should". But only cause More people would get it.
Ha, megsck never really cared much for that snarf character.
Cheers radiomode and kdeuce.
Thanks for the info CityVelo, much appreciated.
I hope you find a solution to your dilemma, because that is a very cool design.

What is the downside of a soft harness (ie just straps)? Is it just a lack of screen accuracy?
If it is a concern with the straps pulling in the pack unevenly and damaging it, can't that be resolved by adding a bit of elastic strap?
I'm trying to find a way to avoid spending $200+ on my harness.

There is no pass or fail. Except if he finds a serious disease and orders the hives destroyed. Other then that his suggestions are just that. Rich V
Understudy, do you know if it's legal to expand your beeyard from 1 yard and 1 hive, at the time of registration to 2 yards and 5 hives without notifying them ahead of time? This question has been on my mind constantly but, I'm not even sure if one of my yards is legal. (about 100 yards from elementary school. They're separated by thick undergrowth, a 6 foot 1x4 fence running the length of the property and, 60 foot trees to act as wind blocks. Probably the bigger issue of legality spawns from the fact that I have a "wild caught" hive in a TBH. I'm sure I'll get the AHB talk as well as the "Why would you want a TBH?" [TBH=crazy]) That and, as far as the state knows...the only bee yard I have consists of 1 hive at my house. I was just wondering if I should contact the Apiary division of plant industry before my next inspection or, just tell the inspecter on the day of...or... *happen* to forget?

I'm looking for a 1923 Ford T-Bucket in good shape for around $7000. I'm just looking for a project to do. I've looked throught Yahoo! and through Google and can't come across what I'm looking for. Anything else in mind?
$7000. WON'T GET YOU VERY MUCH THESE DAYS. I have a Bucket T for sale, but out of your price range. It is a prime show winner, and beautiful. Wins trophies everywhere it enters. In fact I have to build a room just for the trophies this car has won. If you want to see what $29,000 will get, then send me an email and I will send pictures. email@example.com Martin
Go to your local rod runs, swap meets or shows and ask around or check on EBay under t bucket or roadster. You shouldn't have any problem finding something in your price range.
have you thought about building your own, I have seen them completed for that kind of price, and it's way more fun!
full roller minus wheels/tire you plum the brakes,set up for what ever motor/trans you want,23-29,23 has 108" wheel base,27,29 has 118" only thing there all with glass bodies,made out of 2x3 taperd,nothched, hairpins, t-bars,pannner bar,steering mounts,
I keep thinking about getting a t-bucket, seems like a ton of fun.
Always wanted to do a track-T type of T-bucket, with a 4 cylinder, 5 speed drivetrain. The engine from a late model Saturns (90's ish) look sorta offy-ish too and could be cleaned up to look "old".Seen one at several shows around here with a 1100 Yamaha motorcycle engine in it, which was cool from a different standpoint.Car was built in "traditional" T-bucket style with the tall windshield, short pickup box, etc...I thought it mighta flowed better track T style,with maybe a hood top at least...but it was still something different.Personally, I'd go with a new kit from one of several available. They are reasonably priced and you don't have to fix someone else's "engineering", which usually adds up big time.
hahaha cleaned up to llok old sounds kind of funny
It sounds like you want a fairly complete bucket.Craigs list and eBay would be worth checking, as long as you can check the car in person.If you don't have the knowledge or skills, bringsomeone along who does.Check with the local rod shops, antique auto parts stores. Leave a "wanted" note on their bullitin board.There are always partially finished cars with ownerswho have lost interest.That is how I found mine. Happy hunting..

Decadal predictions
First of all, we need to know whether we have enough data to get a reasonable picture of the ocean state right now. This is actually quite hard since you'd like to have subsurface temperature and salinity data from a large part of the oceans. That gives you the large scale density field which is the dominant control on the ocean dynamics. Right now this is just about possible with the new Argo float array, but before about 2003, subsurface data in particular was much sparser outside a few well travelled corridors. Note that temperature data are not sufficient on their own for calculating changes in the ocean dynamics since they are often inversely correlated with salinity variations (when it is hot, it is often salty for instance) which reduces the impact on the density. Conceivably if any skill in the prediction is simply related to surface temperature anomalies being advected around by the mean circulation, it could be possible be useful to do temperature only initializations, but one would have to be very wary of dynamical changes and that would limit the usefulness of the approach to a couple of years perhaps.
Next, given any particular distribution of initialization data, how should this be assimilated into the forecasting model? This is a real theoretical problem given that models all have systematic deviations from the real world. If you simply force a model temperature and salinity to look exactly like the observations, then you risk having any forecast dominated by model drift when you remove the assimilation. Think of a elastic band being pulled to the side by the 'observations', but having it snap back to it's default state when you stop pulling. (A likely example of this is the 'coupling shock' phenomena possibly seen in the Keenlyside et al simulations). A better way to do this is via anomaly forcing – that is you only impose the differences from the climatology on the model. That is guaranteed to have less model drift, but at the expense of having the forecast potentially affected by systematic errors in, say, the position of the Gulf Stream. In both methods of course, the better the model, the less bad the problems. There is a good discussion of the Hadley Centre methods in Haines et al (2008) (no sub reqd.).
Assuming that you can come up with a reasonable methodology for the initialization, the next step is to understand the actual predictability of the system. For instance, given the inevitable uncertainties due to sparse coverage or short term variability, how fast do slightly differently initialized simulations diverge? (Note that we aren't talking about the exact path of the simulation which will diverge as fast as weather forecasts – a couple of weeks, but the larger scale statistics of ocean anomalies). This appears to be a few years to a decade in "perfect model" tests (where you try and predict how a particular model will behave using the same model but with an initialization that mimics what you'd have to do in the real world).
Finally, given that you can show that the model with its initialization scheme and available data has some predictability, you have to show that it gives a useful increase in the explained variance in any quantities that someone might care about. For instance, perfect predictability of the maximum overturning streamfunction might be scientifically interesting, but since it is not an observable quantity, it is mainly of academic interest. Much more useful is how any surface air temperature or rainfall predictions will be affected. This kind of analysis is only just starting to be done (since you needed all the other steps to work first).
From talking to a number of people working in this field, my sense is that this is pretty much where the state of the science is. There are theoretical reasons to expect this to be useful, but as yet no good sense for actually how practically useful it will be (though I'd welcome any other opinions on this in the comments).
One thing that is of concern are statements that appear to assume that this is already a done deal – that good quality decadal forecasts are somehow guaranteed (if only a new center can be built, or if a faster computer was used). For instance:

Essendon great Tim Watson says his son Jobe is not concerned about the possibility of losing his Brownlow Medal as part of the Essendon doping scandal.
The Bombers are in damage control after they confirmed they are being investigated by the AFL and the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Agency (ASADA) over the possible use of banned substances by their players.
It is unknown what sanctions, if any, the club will face, but ASADA have warned the repercussions could be "extremely serious".
Speaking exclusively to 7 News, club legend Watson says he was shocked when the news broke.
"I was like most people yesterday ... I was alarmed and shocked to read and hear drugs and Essendon football club mentioned in the same breath," he said.
"I was completely shocked and taken aback by that yesterday."
The former Bombers star said he spoke to his son at length about the scandal.
Watson said his concerns that his son could be stripped of his 2012 Brownlow Medal have been allayed.
"(Losing the Brownlow) would be devastating but (Jobe's) not concerned about that, and because he's not concerned about that, I'm not concerned about that either," Watson said.
"I have spoken to Jobe and I was concerned, but I had a good convo with him this morning.
"It was the first time I'd spoken to him about it since the story broke yesterday. I have got an acute understanding now of what's taken place."
Watson Jnr took home the game's highest individual honour last year despite his side finishing in 11th place.
The Bombers great said that the players were ultimately responsible for what they took during any fitness regime.
"Every player has to be responsible for what they put in their mouths and I think they are well versed in that as well at an AFL level," Watson said.
"Having been in that situation myself, you put a lot of trust in other people above where you are too.
"You have to share that responsibility, but ultimately, if anyone has done anything untoward and outside the rules, then they will then be punished accordingly and individually."
He also said there had been an element of the players and fans being let down by the club and he queried the checks that were in place when new people were brought in.
"Football clubs have got to responsible for who they employ and the right checks need to be conducted. Then they have to have the right supervision," he said.
"When the dust settles on this and we know all that has been investigated and what comes out of the investigation, I'm sure there's going to be a really in depth and critical internal investigation of the Essendon football club too."

I work for a marketing company called BzzAgent. We give you free stuff! No, really...
Companies sign up for campaigns with us. They give us free products, and we pass that product on to our volunteer Agents.
Where does this benefit our clients?
Say you just got a free $100 Harmony remote control in the mail. You're going to brag to your friends, right? And there you go, talking about the product, generating honest, unscripted word of mouth marketing... arguably the best kind available.
The companies get to learn what people think of their products in the real world through surveys our agents submit, and get the benefit of people talking about their stuff. The agents get free stuff, and everyone wins.
We just launched a new section of our website... BzzScapes. The idea of BzzScapes is that it's a place for people to share information about products / brands / etc... that they love.
To help get this section started, we have a contest for employees. At the end of each month, whichever employee has the most people following his/her BzzScape wins a prize... and they are nice prizes like a 52" LCD TV, free parking/transit passes for a year, etc...
My BzzScape is, unsurprisingly, Star Wars!
Here's where you come in!
Go to http://www.bzzagent.com/ and register (it's free, and if you want to participate in the polls / campaigns / etc... those are free too, and you get cool stuff!)
Once you've registered, click the "BzzScapes" link near the top of the page, then go to the Star Wars BzzScape. Click "Follow & Add Content to this BzzScape to become a part of it.
That's all that needs to happen to help my BzzScape grow! If you want to add content too it, comment, etc... by all means, please do! Heck, create your own BzzScape if you want! The more the merrier!

After intense public pressure, the states chief executive and lawmakers discussed including amendments to the SAFE Act this week during the state budget negotiations. Specifically, much of the focus was on the seven-round magazine limit. However, the prospects for making the law more lenient disappeared when a rough budget agreement was reached this week. Many of the provisions of the SAFE Act are set to take effect April 15.

Re: XM Info VERY slow to update
Some quick google searches show it's currently affecting other makes/models as well. So I'd say it's something XM has done or something that broke on XM's end that only affects certain model radios. My Wife says her 2008 CTS (with NAV) is working great.
Maybe if a bunch of us write XM and complain they will look into it?

Re: XM Info VERY slow to update
Hi everyone-
If you're experiencing this, could you please send us an email with your contact information, make, model, what channels this is happening on to email@example.com, so we can investigate this.
SiriusXM Digital Care Team
Re: XM Info VERY slow to update
email sent. Hoping for some good info from XM. Been a subscriber for many years.
Please, everyone email them! The more emails they get on this the better chance we will have a fix!

Re: XM Info VERY slow to update
Very nice lady from XM just called and walked me through a 'soft reset' (basically they have you power cycle the radio/car, and then they send out a refresh signal to the radio), this did NOT fix the song update issue. She is escalating it and will get back to me mid to late week. I'll let you know what I hear.

Re: XM Info VERY slow to update
Same problem for about a week. If I change the channel and then go right back it corrects itself. If I turn it off and right back on it corrects itself.
Re: XM Info VERY slow to update
Ok guys, so here's the deal, in an earlier post I mentioned that the 'soft reset' procedure did not fix the song info issue. Well, I'm not sure if the procedure required one more ignition cycle to work, or if XM pushed some magic button to fix some issue on their end, but by the time I got in my car to drive home from work (a few hours after the reset) the song titles/artists were updating normally! Not only were they updating normally, but they were updating VERY quickly....like instantly. I came home, ate, did some things around the house, and just took the car back out for about 20 minutes, enough to hear about 6 songs, all info updating perfectly now! Let me recap the soft reset procedure in detail in case that is what fixed it:
1. Disable any bluetooth devices you had synced to the radio
2. Make sure there are no CDs/DVDs in the radio (press eject)
3. Start Car
4. Tune to any XM channel and make sure that station is playing OK (i.e. make sure your car has a clear view of the sky).
5. Turn off the radio by pressing it's power button.
6. Shut off car
7. Open driver's door and leave it open for at least 1 minute.
8. Start Car
9. Tune to any XM channel and make sure that station is playing OK
10. Have XM send the refresh signal (I did this over the phone, but you should be able to use the online refresh: https://care.siriusxm.com/retailrefresh_view.action )
11. If you had the refresh done on the phone the rep should confirm it was successful, if doing it online, just follow the instructions there.
12. Not sure if this is needed, (mine still wasn't updating after the above steps, but did later when I came back) but shut the car back off for a few minutes and come back later.
It will be interesting to find out if it was the 'soft reset' that did it - or if XM already jumped on fixing something on their end. Major props to them if they did.
NOW, for some REALLY exciting/interesting news: It seems that the above issue and the Pause button issue (see other thread) must be related! Ever since that drive home when I realized the songs were updating again, my pause button/time shifting is once again operational, even after listening for 5 minutes. Also confirmed this on the 2nd drive tonight. It all works now! So somehow the song info not updating was breaking the time shifting feature!
PLEASE, share your experiences here! Did the above fix work for you (soft reset needed)? Or did it start working on it's own (issue solely on XM's end)? The more info we collect the easier it will be to fix should this issue crop again one day.

Re: XM Info VERY slow to update
OK davedogcaddy, I was waiting for someone to verify what I experienced, because I thought that what happened to me today was just a strange co-incidence and just happened by chance. Let me preface that I read the post from SiriusXM prior to my appointment this afternoon. I have been having the problem for approximately 2 weeks. I did not do a 'soft reset' or signal refresh. At approximately 5pm today after leaving my appointment, I noted on my radio that the song info, titles/artists were changing instantly. It continued to do this with no hesitation. ( Note: This was not happening on my way to the appointment.) Is it truly possible that SiriusXM can address problems that quickly and if it is, my sincere thank you to the individuals at SiriusXM for the quick problem solving and to this forum. We should all be thankful for having this productive way of communicating and actually having individuals monitoring our comments and helping out. Thank you again.

Re: XM Info VERY slow to update
I think the general consensus is it was not the soft reset as others who not preformed the reset had it start working on it's own, at about the same time as the rest of us. I'm just glad it's been resolved. Kudos to the IT staff at XM for getting it sorted out so quickly (must have been no more than 3 hours between the time I talked with the XM rep, and when it started working again).

Re: XM Info VERY slow to update
Mine fixed itself with no help from me, so obviously the issue was with XM, not the radio.

Miller among four players re-signed by Sabres
Sabres agree to terms with four players
'Selected in the fifth round of the 1999 draft, Miller posted an 0-3-0 record and 5.08 goals-against average in three appearances with Buffalo last season. The 24-year-old Michigan native went 27-25-7 with five shutouts and a 2.21 GAA in 60 games with Rochester. Touted as the Sabres' goalie of the future, the 2001 Hobey Baker Award winner is 6-11-1 with one shutout and a 3.03 GAA in 18 career contests.'
Sabres Sign Four Remaining Restricted Free Agents
'Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier announced today the team has agreed to one-year contracts with goaltender Ryan Miller, defenseman Doug Janik, and forwards Milan Bartovic and Norm Milley. As is club policy, terms of the deals are not disclosed.'
Sabres Assign 12 to Rochester
'Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier announced today the team has assigned the following 12 players to the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League…'.
Letter from Sabres' Managing Partner Lawrence Quinn
'The Buffalo Sabres organization apologizes for the inconvenience this necessary action will cause its loyal fans and business partners. We hope our team will be back in action soon.'
Sabres put optimism on ice
'Buffalo's player payroll is projecting to be in the neighborhood of $41 million, about 20 percent higher than the start of last season.'
Sabres re-sign tough-guy Peters
'He scored two goals in 42 games in his first season.'
Sabres re-sign Peters
'Buffalo's second-round pick in the 1998 draft, Peters made $350,000 last season.'
Sabres re-sign LW Peters
'Peters, 24, appeared in 42 games and compiled 151 penalty minutes, the most by a Sabres' rookie since Brad May had 309 in 1991-92. He also had two goals and 17 assists.'
Sabres Sign Peters
'"Andrew has developed through our system and really took a significant step forward with his career last season," said Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier. "He is a physical presence on the ice and has become a valuable member of our organization and this community off the ice."'
Sabres contest with Wild in jeopardy
'If there is a season this year, Gilbert said the Sabres would like to visit St. Catharines for an open practice or other event. "We're trying to find a date on the schedule that would allow us to come up in the evening or late afternoon for a practice with some type of team function, an autograph signing or some charity stuff around it, that would enable us to get out there and see a lot of our fans in southern Ontario."'
Ticket campaign aims to boost Sabres' fan base
;"It's been bothering me that Tom Golisano stepped to the plate to save the Buffalo Sabres, but didn't have community support," said Jordan Levy, managing partner of Seed Capital Partners. "He stepped up when no one else was able to do it. But this is more than just his team. The Sabres are a community asset."'
Sabres Insider Q&A with Thomas Vanek
Playing against the Canadians, Czechs and all the other countries that had a lot of NHL players competing really made me think that I was ready. It was nice to get out on the ice and feel really comfortable against that level of talent.
Newest signee fits in with youth movement
'"After seeing a number of Thomas' games, I know he's got the potential to play in the NHL," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "He's got a couple years of university hockey, very good hockey, behind him already. There's a lot of his game that makes him NHL-ready."'
Sabres get business assist on ticket sales
'The group is calling itself the Center Ice Club, a 49-member organization that hopes to expand to 100, with each member helping to sell the equivalent of about 25 season tickets.'

Lawmakers agreed last week to include a $10 million appropriation in the state budget to show their support for the new tunnel, with backers saying that should be what is needed to leverage funding from the federal government.
"This is a very integral piece for us," said Marge Byington Potter, executive director of corporate affairs for the Continental Rail Gateway, the group behind the effort.
The gateway is made up of the Windsor Port Authority, Borealis Infrastructure and Canadian Pacific. The group operates the existing freight tunnel, which is too small for some larger trains. It cannot be widened, even after an expansion in 1994, Byington Potter said.
The current Detroit tunnel — its entrance is within the square created by 12th and 16th streets, Bagley Street and West Lafayette Boulevard — was built in 1909 and enlarged in 1994.
Half of the funding for the new tunnel project is coming from the partners in the group, with an additional $100 million coming from the Canadian government and $90 million from the U.S. government that will be added to the $10 million in state funding.
Byington Potter said she is confident that the other government funding will fall into place now that the state has shown it has skin in the game.
"It shows a commitment to the project," Hoeffner said.
He said the state views the rail tunnel as an economic development project.
The state — and the existing tunnel — are missing out on traffic that ends up being rerouted through New York or some other route because trains that are double-stacked or that carry multilevel rail cars to transport vehicles cannot fit through the tunnel.
Byington Potter said that sometimes, double-stacked train cars are removed from the rail lines and put onto additional rail cars that can fit through the existing tunnel. But that takes time, and most just decide to avoid going through Michigan.
"Because of this pinch point, more and more carriers will go to the south," she said.
So the plan is to build a new and larger tunnel next to the existing one so Detroit can handle these larger trains.
Byington Potter said that the project would take about 18 months to complete and that almost all of the design, engineering and permitting work has been completed. The group still needs to seek a presidential permit from the U.S. Department of State, but the expectation is construction could begin this year and would result in about 1,700 construction jobs.
During construction, traffic would continue through the existing tunnel. Upon completion, there are no concrete plans on what to do with the old tunnel, Byington Potter said.
The possibilities range from using it for passenger rail service or to keep it available for redundancies during maintenance of the new tunnel.
The current tunnel handles about 400,000 rail cars annually between Detroit and Canada. The volume with the new tunnel is expected to be about the same but will be done more efficiently with the use of double-stacked rail cars, Byington Potter said.

Posted by Richard Fichera on January 12, 2011
NetApp recently announced that it was acquiring Akorri, a small but highly regarded provider of management solutions for virtualized storage environments. All in all, this is yet another sign of the increasingly strategic importance of virtualized infrastructure and the need for existing players, regardless of how strong their positions are in their respective silos, to acquire additional tools and capabilities for management of an extended virtualized environment.
NetApp, while one of the strongest suppliers in the storage industry, not only faces continued pressure from not only EMC, which owns VMware and has been on a management software acquisition binge for years, but also renewed pressure from IBM and HP, who are increasingly tying their captive storage offerings into their own integrated virtualized infrastructure offerings. This tighter coupling of proprietary technology, while not explicitly disenfranchising external storage vendors, will still tighten the screws slightly and reduce the number of opportunities for NetApp to partner with them. Even Dell, long regarded as the laggard in high-end enterprise presence, has been ramping up its investment management and ability to deliver integrated infrastructure, including both the purchase of storage technology and a very clear signal with its run at 3Par and recent investments in companies such as Scalent (see my previous blog on Dell as an enterprise player and my colleague Andrew Reichman's discussion of the 3Par acquisition) that it wants to go even further as a supplier of integrated infrastructure.

This article is a draft, with further revisions actively invited. Drafts are typically different than stubs in that these articles are in an active edit process. Feel free to help by expanding the article.
We need to start a Haskell centered cookbook (aka, not a PLEAC clone)
This page is based on the Scheme Cookbook at http://schemecookbook.org/Cookbook/WebHome
1 Prelude
A lot of functions are defined in the "Prelude". Also, if you ever want to search for a function, based on the name, type or module, take a look at the excellent Hoogle. This is for a lot of people a must-have while debugging and writing Haskell programs.
2 GHCi/Hugs
2.1 GHCi interaction
To start GHCi from a command prompt, simply type `ghci'
$ ghci ___ ___ _ / _ \ /\ /\/ __(_) / /_\// /_/ / / | | GHC Interactive, version 6.6, for Haskell 98. / /_\\/ __ / /___| | http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ \____/\/ /_/\____/|_| Type :? for help. Loading package base ... linking ... done. Prelude>
Prelude is the "base" library of Haskell.
To create variables at the GHCi prompt, use `let'
Prelude> let x = 5 Prelude> x 5 Prelude> let y = 3 Prelude> y 3 Prelude> x + y 8
`let' is also the way to create simple functions at the GHCi prompt
Prelude> let fact n = product [1..n] Prelude> fact 5 120
2.2 Checking Types
To check the type of an expression or function, use the command `:t'
Prelude> :t x x :: Integer Prelude> :t "Hello" "Hello" :: [Char]
Haskell has the following types defined in the Standard Prelude.
Int -- bounded, word-sized integers Integer -- unbounded integers Double -- floating point values Char -- characters String -- equivalent to [Char], strings are lists of characters () -- the unit type Bool -- booleans [a] -- lists (a,b) -- tuples / product types Either a b -- sum types Maybe a -- optional values
3 Databases access
There are two packages you can use to connect to MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sqlite3 and ODBC databases: HDBC and Hsql
3.1 MySQL
3.2 PostgreSQL
3.3 SQLite
Suppose you have created a 'test.db' database like this,
$ sqlite3 test.db "create table t1 (t1key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,data TEXT,num double,timeEnter DATE);"
$ sqlite3 test.db "insert into t1 (data,num) values ('This is sample data',3);"
$ sqlite3 test.db "insert into t1 (data,num) values ('More sample data',6);"
$ sqlite3 test.db "insert into t1 (data,num) values ('And a little more',9);"
Using HDBC and HDBC-sqlite3 packages, you can connect and query it like this:
import Control.Monad import Database.HDBC import Database.HDBC.Sqlite3 main = do conn <- connectSqlite3 "test.db" rows <- quickQuery' conn "SELECT * from t1" [] forM_ rows $ \row -> putStrLn $ show row
$ ghc --make sqlite.hs
$ ./sqlite
[SqlString "1",SqlString "This is sample data",SqlString "3.0",SqlNull]
[SqlString "2",SqlString "More sample data",SqlString "6.0",SqlNull]
[SqlString "3",SqlString "And a little more",SqlString "9.0",SqlNull]
4 Graphical user interfaces
4.1 wxHaskell
wxHaskell is a portable and native GUI library for Haskell based on the wxWidgets Library.
Hello World example:
module Main where import Graphics.UI.WX main :: IO () main = start hello hello :: IO () hello = do f <- frame [text := "Hello!"] quit <- button f [text := "Quit", on command := close f] set f [layout := widget quit]
This code was taken from "a quick start with wxHaskell".
4.2 Gtk2Hs
Gtk2Hs is a GUI Library for Haskell based on GTK. Gtk2Hs Tutorial.
Hello world example:
import Graphics.UI.Gtk main :: IO () main = do initGUI w <- windowNew b <- buttonNew set b [buttonLabel := "Quit"] onClicked b $ widgetDestroy w set w [windowTitle := "Hello", containerBorderWidth := 10] containerAdd w b onDestroy w mainQuit widgetShowAll w mainGUI
For more examples, see: Applications and libraries/Games
4.3 HOpenGL
HOpenGL is a Haskell binding for the OpenGL graphics API (GL 1.2.1 / GLU 1.3) and the portable OpenGL utility toolkit GLUT. There is a Haskell OpenGL Tetris program at [[1]] by Jim.
See also: Applications and libraries/Games
There are some Haskell bindings to SDL at Hackage.
5 PDF files
For the following recipes you need to install HPDF.
5.1 Creating an empty PDF file
The following code creates an empty PDF file with the name "test1.pdf":
import Graphics.PDF main :: IO () main = do let outputFileName= "test1.pdf" let defaultPageSize = PDFRect 0 0 200 300 runPdf outputFileName standardDocInfo defaultPageSize $ do addPage Nothing
5.2 Pages with different sizes
If you pass "Nothing" to the function addPage, the default page size will be used for the size of the new page.
Let's create three pages, the last two pages with different dimensions:
import Graphics.PDF main :: IO () main = do let outputFileName= "test2.pdf" let defaultPageSize = PDFRect 0 0 200 300 runPdf outputFileName standardDocInfo defaultPageSize $ do addPage Nothing addPage $ Just $ PDFRect 0 0 100 100 addPage $ Just $ PDFRect 0 0 150 150
6.1 How to interface with C
Magnus has written a nice example on how to call a C function operating on a user defined type.
7 Testing
7.1 QuickCheck
7.2 HUnit

Let it snow!
Photos submitted by Tabitha Reed and Buddy Faulkner on 2/7/2007.
Last week the campus was blanketed by about 2 inches of snow. The chapel is always beautiful, but when there's snow on the ground, it takes on an almost mystical appearance.
What better way to get around in the snow!

Shandy, Buddy, and John get acquainted with a "new student" who showed up on campus. Unfortunately, it looks like he couldn't take the heat and no one has seen him around for several days.


text: I mean, I don't want to totally overreact, but they got pounded today by a Memphis Grizzlies team that was missing two of their best players, after a full week off. This was supposed to be a strong defensive squad, but they are one of the worst in the league. Offensively, they lack cohesion, flow, chemistry, and efficiency. Defensively they don't communicate, are late to help, don't play hard, and can't stay in front of their man. It all starts at the top. Joe gets full marks for putting together a championship squad, but the last major roster move he made in that direction was almost ten years ago (Sheed). Since Larry Brown won the championship, we've seen Flip Saunders, Michael Curry, John Keuster, Lawrence Frank, and now Maurice Cheeks. Literally, the coaches this team has had have gotten worse every hire. I shudder to think what complete imbecile Dumars is going to find once Cheeks is gone. Speaking of Cheeks, this ship is rudderless. There's talent on the floor - no denying that. Drummond is a monster, Monroe is a very good post player, Smith is a good post player and passer (and allegedly a good defender), KCP is a good defender and has a good shot, and Jennings is quick and clearly has point guard quality skills. But the starting squad, which has all this talent, does absolutely nothing with it when it counts. And then, off the bench the coach brings in guys that have no idea what to do with the ball when they get it. Fourth quarters are getting worse and worse as opposing teams realize that the players have absolutely no direction. They're playing a throwback game, lobbing it into the post and clearing out, but without having any actual threats on the perimeter to keep opposing defenses honest. The worst part about it? The team is 14-20, but they're still in the playoffs because there are about 8 other teams in the East officially mailing in the season, and if the Pistons don't get a top-8, they get no pick in one of the deepest drafts in years because Dumars felt it was better to give away a draft pick to get rid of Ben Gordon (his outside shooting would look pretty nice right about now, tho). They have the talent to actually make some noise in the first round, since they kind of match up well against the Pacers and Heat, but they are dead in the water otherwise. I just have this feeling that, given his recent history, Dumars is going to re-up Stuckey's contract and blow the rest of their cap space by overpaying Monroe, a guy that is a defensively limited 15-8 player whose skills are not considered as valuable to most teams as they once were, a guy who would be a very good sixth man on a championship team. I do not want to see this happen. I do not want to see the Pistons mired in mediocrity for the rest of the decade because they failed to adapt to the new way of things. Organizations are too smart now, the numbers guys are finally starting to quantify what's important, and the Pistons are a dinosaur. They have overrated talent based on old-school thinking that still puts priority in all the wrong areas (points, rebounds, steals, and blocks). They have a coach that does not break down game film. They have a GM that has publicly said that the concept of positions is obsolete, that teams are built by getting the best talent and fitting it together however you can. This regime is done. The Hydra experiment didn't work, and it's getting worse. I don't know what Gores is thinking, but I hope he acts sooner rather than later. I feel like the team stands at a crossroads right now, and I don't like the dark paths that lay ahead.

In fact, you were lucky if your shirt wasn't covered in fleas or made out of vinyl! I remember I had a vinyl shirt once, it would play Miles Davis whenever you scratched your back.

Dear Lucy,
I am a new ESL teacher. I started a job at an Atlanta adult English school in December. I have been teaching an intensive level 1 class. In February, I receeved a new student into class. She is clearly not ready to be in a high beginner class. Everything about the class is too advanced for her. She has had a very difficult time. I have to work very hard to make sure that she experiences some small success in class each day. In my opinion, she needs to be in a survival level English class, or at least in a low beginner class. For example, she has been in class 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks. She is not able to tell me in English what her address and telephone number are. I discovered this the other day when we were doing a grammar lesson about prepositions.
My supervisors diagree with me. After much difficulty dealing with my immediate supervisor, I went to her supervisor. This woman told me that a lower level beginner class, or private tutoring, are not available because it is not financially feasible. I think she means that it is not finacially feasible for the school. The student is on a F1 visa. She has to take 18 hours of class a week. I do not understand why she cannot take 18 hours at a lower beginner level.
My question is: Is this the typical practice for ESL schools? Do schools offer F1 visa students lower beginner level classes if they are needed? It seems to me that the school that I work for is just trying to get as much money out of this student as they can. She will have to repeat level 1 at least one time. Perhaps twice. Is this what I can expect at other schools?
Thank-You in advance for answering my question. I am so happy to have discoverd this forum.

Louis Martini Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
The Louis M. Martini Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from vineyards up and down the Napa Valley. This wine exhibits a deep burgundy color with intense aromas of cassis, sweet herbs and hints of pipe tobacco. Intriguing flavors of ripe black cherries, deep, briary red fruits, and old world complexities linger throughout the finish. This is a well structured and balanced wine that is medium-to-full-bodied and is ready to enjoy now or can be aged up to 5 years.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "A nice Cabernet, on par with the winery's equally fine 2008. Shows plenty of class, with rich blackberry, currant and cedar flavors. Earns pionts for sheer elegance. Ready to drink now. Editors' Choice"
Louis Martini Winery
For more than 75 years, the Martini family winemakers have crafted world-class Cabernet Sauvignon wines from the exceptional vineyards of Sonoma and Napa counties. Louis M. Martini embodied a simple, honest premise: The best grapes make the best wines. Today, Michael Martini, third generation winemaker carries on this tradition at the historic winery in Napa Valley with his range of unforgettable Cabernet Sauvignon wines. View all Louis Martini Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country unto itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Booklovers, including many librarians of course, are celebrating World Book Night on Tuesday, April 23. Held in the US, UK, and Ireland, the aim is to promote the value of reading, books, libraries, and bookstores by distributing free books all across the country. About 25,000 volunteer booklovers will be personally handing out specially printed copies of books to light or non-readers and to those without the means or access to books. The titles chosen for distribution are contemporary or classic titles that appeal to a wide range of new readers. They are diverse in subject matter, age level, gender, as well as ethnic and geographical considerations.
The day is chosen to celebrate the International Day of the Book as well as Shakespeare's birthday.
There are about 2,000 World Book Night host locations, including KPL and several area bookstores. About 25 volunteers signed up through KPL, selected their title, and picked up about 20 copies of the book last week. They will distribute the books around town on Tuesday evening….watch for them if you are out and about.

Practice safe food prep during the holidays
The holidays are here, and it's that time of year to spend a lot of time in the kitchen making food for loved ones. To prevent food poisoning (Salmonella or another food-borne illness); please keep the following food-handling tips in mind.
HANDS: Wash hands thoroughly before preparing the big meal. Use soap and warm water, then dry hands with a clean towel. Wash hands each time a potential contamination has occurred, such as handling raw turkey.
KITCHEN SURFACES: After handling raw turkey or raw meats, wash kitchen surfaces such as counters, sinks, faucets and cutting boards. Those foods can carry disease-causing bacteria and other germs so just assume that any surface touched by them is contaminated. Wash potentially contaminated surfaces with hot soapy water, then rinse. Cleaning contaminated surfaces is where most bacteria and microorganisms get washed away but sanitizing those cleaned surfaces will give an added level of safety. To sanitize, add a teaspoon of household bleach to a gallon of warm water. Using a clean towel, dip into the sanitizing solution then wipe down the surfaces you just cleaned.
COOKING TURKEY: Make sure the turkey gets thoroughly cooked to prevent illness. Using a probe thermometer, check the thickest part of the turkey to make sure it gets to at least 165 Fahrenheit. If the turkey has stuffing inside it's a good idea to take the stuffing temperature as well, making sure it also reaches at least 165F.
LEFTOVERS: If food sits out for too long, dangerous bacteria could grow and lead to illness. A good practice for keeping leftovers safe is to chill them quickly; getting the leftover food down to 41F or less within six hours, will slow or stop the growth of bacteria. Make sure to eat the leftovers within a few days or transfer them to the freezer.
Don't prepare food if you are sick, an accurate probe thermometer will read 32F in ice water, don't use the same cutting board or platter for raw and cooked foods without washing thoroughly between uses, for defrosting-allow 24-hours per every five pounds of turkey, defrost raw meats and poultry under refrigeration, never leave food out for longer than two hours, thaw raw meats and poultry on the lowest shelf possible in the refrigerator.
Contact Deschutes County Environmental Health Supervisor Eric Mone at (541) 388-6566 for more information.

When Sgt. Chris Dunn came to, he realized he had just been hit by a truck and that his arm hurt something awful. Must be broken, he thought.
His fellow troopers from Utah Highway Patrol, who were nearby when the crash happened, had to tell him the truth: Half of his left hand was missing, including his four fingers. Dunn took their word for it.
"I never did look," Dunn said in a telephone interview Friday from his Utah County home.
On Aug. 23, while investigating a crash in the eastbound corridor of Interstate 80 in Parley's Canyon, Dunn was struck by a utility truck as he was getting something out of his squad car. The driver drifted into the right lane, which was blocked off as troopers investigated a crash between a minivan and a semi-trailer.
Trooper Chamberlin Neff, who also was investigating the first crash, said he heard the truck hit Dunn's car, but didn't see it. When he went to see what had happened, he saw Dunn, his commanding sergeant, leaning against his car. There was blood everywhere.
Neff soon discovered the blood was coming from a large cut in Dunn's forearm and the severed portion of his hand. Neff told him what happened.
"He said, 'You need to find my wedding ring,'" Neff said.
The hand was easier to find: It landed right between Dunn's and Neff's cars after it hit Neff's back windshield.
"It looked like someone had taken a tennis ball, soaked it in blood and threw a fastball into the back of my car," Neff said.
What happened next was fortunate blend of serendipity and skill. The severity of the first crash required an incident management truck, which just happened to have a cooler full of water bottles. One of the truck's drivers emptied the cooler and other troopers filled it with ice packs from their first aid kits. The troopers then put Dunn's hand in an evidence bag and kept it on ice.
Meanwhile, the training the troopers had recently received on applying tourniquets was suddenly relevant. The training earlier this year involved a new type of tourniquet designed for severe injuries such as Dunn's. Thanks to that training and the right tourniquets on scene, the troopers were able to quickly stop the bleeding from Dunn's hand, Neff said. They also were able to patch up a large cut on his forearm before medical responders arrived.
"It was great training, and it obviously showed with Chris' situation," Neff said.
Dunn was taken by helicopter to University Hospital, and after more than eight hours of surgery, his severed hand was finally reattached. Only then did he finally look at it.
And he got his wedding ring back, too.
Dunn was back on the job this week, although he works only four hours a day mostly doing paperwork at the office. It could be a while before he gets back on patrol, and right now he's taking things one day at a time. He goes to physical therapy three times a week.
"It's slow," he said. "I can't do anything with my hand right now."
There is some progress, though. He can move his fingers, although he can barely feel them. Doctors tell him it will take a few months for the nerves in his hand to fuse properly.
"We just hope for the best," Dunn said.
In his 14 years with the UHP, this was Dunn's first major injury. It's been a reminder of just how dangerous his job can be.
"That's as close to death as you can come," he said. "I think about it a lot, and I count my blessings that I'm still here with my wife and my sons. And life goes on."

He was prepared to die to stop this.

I'm pretty new to this forum but quickly found Stormriders thread of the HIC front casting. I'm in the process of ordering one and was wondering what everyone thought of the material ( denseness, pliability, durability).
Are there any spots that might benefit from being thicker? How did it hold up from shipping? Any damage so far from prolonged storage? Any info would be helpful.
Stormrider himself recommended I start a new thread asking for the info. I didn't want to convolute his order thread.
It looks great and I can't wait to get mine and get started on the box.

Three with Lee
October 02, 2012 , 10:41 AM by Jeremy Lee
This morning we ranged from UK electronic pop veterans to part time backyard musicians on the NSW Central Coast...
The Pet Shop Boys aren't too far away from marking 30 years of making music - a remarkable achievement considering very few of their peers have been able to maintain such a productive career for so long without resorting to some sort of nostalgia trip or becoming a touring greatest hits version of themselves.
Their 11th studio album is a very smooth affair, much in the vain of their masterpiece 'Behaviour' from the 1990s. It features some gorgeous songs, some lyrics which have a go at 'ego music' and people who've possibly openly wondered why they continue to make music, and only one really dull song in the form of their unofficial Olympic anthem 'Winner' which came out around the time of the recent games in London.
We heard the opening track 'Leaving' which sets the tone for much of the album and shows the Pet Shop Boys to be in fine form.
From the Pet Shop Boys we went to Melbourne and six piece band Alpine whose debut album 'A is for Alpine' has been getting some rave reviews. Despite having two female vocalists they don't share anything else in common with ABBA, although there is a certain Scandinavian icyness to their perfectly formed music which is crafted with the same precision and care as fine glassware.
As one reviewer pointed out, sometimes it's a bit hard to know what they're on about, but the real trick with Alpine is to immerse yourself in the textures of their music and not get too hung up on the elusive vocals floating about the place.
The only problem is that sometimes their approach gets a bit bogged down - maybe their songwriting process is too democratic to allow more chord changes or other elements which would elevate their music further, but there's a considerable amount to enjoy on this album. We heard the track 'Hands'.
Finally we stopped off on the NSW Central Coast to listen to The Mandelas - a four piece consisting of a husband and wife duo and a couple of friends. They strike me as a very part time kind of proposition who hark back to the DIY ethic of a lot of Australian independant music from the 1980s.
Their new EP 'The Mandelas' Last Stand' showed up without warning but it's not hard to like their friendly alt country kind of approach which also throws in a bit of doo wop, as in the track we heard called 'Magic Box' - a homage to all things radio.

Londonderry loses a soldier
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent | September 02. 2013 11:07PM
U.S. Army Cpl. Tyler Pimpis, 22, died last week after being injured in a motorcycle crash in Kileen, Texas. Pimpis, shown here in an undated 2008 photo, graduated from Londonderry High School in 2009. (COURTESY)
U.S. Army Cpl. Tyler J. Pimpis, 22, died Aug. 28. Pimpis, a 2009 Londonderry High School graduate, was stationed at Fort Hood at the time of his death, after serving two combat tours in Afghanistan.
Those who knew Pimpis best described him as an extremely family-oriented young man who enjoyed riding his motorcycle, building things out of wood and playing with the new puppy he'd recently adopted.
During his visits home, Pimpis would stop in at his alma mater to catch up with his former teachers.
"He represented the armed forces proudly," Juster said. "He didn't sugar-coat his mission and the commitment required, but honestly told us how great it felt to serve his country every day."
In addition to his mother, survivors include his father, Stephen Pimpis and sister Kaila Pimpis, both of Londonderry, and brother Michael Pimpis and sister-in-law Tiffany of Westport, Mass.
Brent's older brother, Private 1st Class Eric Currier, was killed while on duty in Afghanistan in February 2010. Brent eventually left the military honorably, though Pimpis soon reenlisted for a second term.
His younger sister, Kaila, who set up a memorial Facebook page in her brother's honor, said she had an extremely close relationship with her brother, who surprised her in 2011 when he took leave from one of his tours in Afghanistan to attend her high school graduation.

About the Arago Project
From AragoWiki
The Arago project was created by a few engineers from Texas Instruments and Ridge Run after mutually reviewing each other's Linux SDK products and exchanging visions for the future. We found that much of the two existing products was really duplicate work with different but not differentiating value. At the same time we saw that we shared many elements for our future direction.
All participants wanted to create a "product" that would be approachable by an experienced embedded developer that is new to the Linux eco-system. At the same time the Linux savy developer should be able to see how the system was created and be able to tune, change, or expand apon it.
We wanted all elements of the SDK and the assembly process to be publicly visible. An individual developer should be able to use the system from pre-canned binary images, build up a system from packages, or rebuild all source from 1st principals.
