— Heather Bonner clutches a hefty stack of crisply cut coupons as she bustles through the sliding doors of her local Publix in Dacula, Georgia. It's obvious she's no stranger here.
"Heather, haven't seen you in a while! Big order today?" asked Publix Cashier Beth Goldstein.
An employee wheels out a flatbed of 195 pre-ordered items, from Cheerios and Whole Fruit Bars to feminine products and band-aids. It's all for local charities, and all in a day's work.
"I think we'll get it all for about $65 today," said Bonner. That's 30 cents an item.
Bonner is the founder and visionary of Clipping for a Cause, a nonprofit organization that expertly coupons to buy an array of items for pennies on the dollar. On Wednesday evenings, a group of six to 10 women meet in the modest basement of First United Methodist Church of Lawrenceville to clip, organize and chat.
Funded by the church, the key to the group's success is that they only purchase items that are free, or nearly free. Sometimes the group actually makes money using multiple coupons.
"This week were going a little over what we would spend at $1.59 for cereal," said Bonner, "but we have pasta that is paying us 40 cents per box, so we'll apply that. Food banks always need cereal!"
Since its inception in March 2010, Clipping for a Cause has donated over 19,500 items — at a cost of $1,800. That's a $15,500 savings, and like loading up an 18-wheeler at a 90 percent-off sale.
All of this money management takes some serious planning. Bonner said she couldn't do it alone, so each member performs a specific task.
Cyndy Pearce "braves Walmart," while Karla Price delivers items to food banks and shelters. Each week, Carrie Menegigian makes the list of coupons they'll clip.
"[Bonner] sees people that are in need and she sends out the alarm and collects things for them," said Menegigian. "She wants everybody to be taken care of in whatever need it is. She does beyond.
The inspiration for Clipping for a Cause came out of Bonner's personal coupon adventures — a stay-at-home mom, she needed to find a way to contribute to the family's finances. "I had three kids in diapers, I needed to do something," she laughed. "The money we save is essentially earned income."
But soon, the items began piling up on the shelves. Bonner knew she couldn't possibly use them all so she began donating extras to charity. A tap on the shoulder from a clergy member and a sermon later, she knew what she had to do.
"Most people know about coupons but are not diligent enough to really work the system to be able to benefit and share like she does," said Brent Bohanan, director of Family Promise Gwinnett, a regular recipient of Clipping for a Cause contributions.
Outsiders have noticed her skill at saving. Eight other Clipping for a Cause chapters have opened in four other states based on Bonner's clipping model.
"The main thing that we're trying to get across is that it is so important right now in these economic times to save for yourself and your family, but at the same time you can pay that gift forward to somebody else," said Bonner.
The need for contributions is greater than ever. This May marked the highest number of people ever using the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. According to the USDA, nearly 46 million Americans use SNAP, better known as food stamps.
Nonetheless, some people in need still slip through the cracks and must reach out to food pantries for assistance.
The Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministry relies solely on donations such as Bonner's. The waiting room is packed with bench after bench of people. It's as hot inside as it is outside, the air conditioning slipping out the unsealed windowpanes.
Marie Yvette, a mother of three, has been receiving assistance from the Ministry and volunteering for ten years now.
"I had a situation where I got divorced, I lost my home, job — I used to be a real estate agent making over $150,000, and then suddenly I'm nothing," she said, her warm brown eyes unwavering.
Like so many others, she never thought she would be here. That is why Bonner decided to keep all donations local.
"It's amazing, if people just open their eyes, how much need there is right in our own neighborhood," she said.
Back at the neighborhood Publix, the items are being rung up. Bonner sighs as the bill hits $209.17. She's getting nervous.
The numbers keep growing. "If that goes to $65 you have a LOT of coupons," said Price's 9-year-old daughter, Helena, who has learned her mom's couponing strategy.
The coupons begin knocking off dollar after dollar, cent after cent. The final total: $74.66. Value: $578.76.
The impact? You can't put a price on that.

What the Spanish Can Teach Us
In the two weeks I've been in Spain, I've had some revelations about what makes a healthy individual, and, in turn, what odd things make a healthy (healthier than the U.S., at least) nation. Some convictions that have been turned on their heads? Don't eat too late at night. Don't smoke. And don't eat strange additives. Those doctrines have been some of the cornerstones of my life and my nutrition practice for some time now, and I'm having to reconsider … Continue reading

I went to local craft store . . . . ummmm my wife told me about the place you see, I don't go there usually. Any way, purchased KRYLON Acrylic Crystal Clear. Was $3.99 last fall before everything went outta sight. I spray the label sheets "North South" then "East West" and let dry for 30 minutes. It does stand up to a damp wipe.

After the long drawn-out affair, I'm somewhat bitter with them all and at this point don't see a lot of reason to say "yipee". More like I'm indifferent and likely to only the occassional game if nothing better is on. Not that I ever spent money on any team or attended any games but I did root for certain teams. Now it's just meh! whatever. And Bettman -- don't get me started. I don't buy or believe his "apology" and am hoping that he leaves much sooner than later.

Blaming the republicans for Obama Care like hjon does is like blaming the crowing rooster for the sun raising.
It may be time to toss all of them out and start fresh. We need to move away from these elitists that have been "groomed" .so to speak, for public office and perhaps return to more of a "citizen' government. They have proven that professional politicians are not really a bargain in any way shape or form.
any way you slice it, you can't stop stuff if you only hold one half of one third of government.

text: No need to point out the total domination by Tay and CB, so I'll just provide a few random observations: Maxiell looks much quicker this year. The weight loss was a great idea. Also, his free throw form is better. He must have worked on it. Sheed- There were a couple moves from the post that proved that he can get an easy shot if he feels like it. Good job on D and rebounding. Hayes is going to be a consistent scorer. It's obvious. He doesn't shy away from the action after a bad start. And the rest of his game? 5 rebounds and 4 steals. The entire Heat team had 4 steals!!! Jarvis is an athlete. Weak game for Afflalo, but it was his first NBA game, so it is totally excusable. Murray, not a great game, but he was tied for 3rd on the boards behind guys who got a lot more minutes than him. 2 assists, no turnovers, and he and Hayes led the +/-. Alflalo and Dyess were last in that category at -9 and -8. We led the Heat in almost every category (rebounds, steals, assists, free throws). Nice start.

I-93's welcoming new rest stops get started
By BENJAMIN C. KLEIN
Union Leader Correspondent | October 25. 2013 3:13PM
A guest looks over the artist's renderings on display, during the groundbreaking for Hooksett Welcome Centers redevelopment project at the I-93 northbound facility on Thursday. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
Members of the business community, including Alex Ray, owner of the Common Man family of restaurants, and his partner Rusty McLear, joined local and state officials at the groundbreaking.
Joseph Mollica, chair of the State Liquor Commission, said that the liquore store expansion, which he said would increase the two stores' square footage by 12,000 feet, is expected to bring in $6 million in additional annual revenue once completed.
Hooksett Town Administrator Dean Shankle was also in attendance, and said that he expects the new welcome centers to be a tremendous addition to the town.
Along with the country store, restaurant and liquor stores, the welcome centers will become home to about 16 new fueling stations operated by Irving Oil.
According to Irving Oil President and CEO Paul Browning, Irving is investing $2 million into the project.
Bill Boynton of the state Department of Transportation said the state is very pleased with the expansion, especially since it is a local project.

First Stop Fantasy is looking to add knowledgeable and skilled writers/analyst for all 32 NFL Teams. Applicant must have an extensive amount of knowledge about the NFL and the specific team they are covering. Applicant must also be extremely committed for the entire 2013 NFL Season and must be able to meet tight deadlines. This is an UNPAID job that could open up career opportunities in the Sports Writing industry and is a great way to get your name out there. Previous writing experience is a major asset. The job will require several articles per week starting in June on anything that you feel is relevant to the team you are covering. I'm very hopeful that I can find a great Ravens Writer here!
If interested please respond to this with an email (send to "firstname.lastname@example.com") saying a little bit about yourself and your availability during June-February. Also, please include a writing sample and let me know which NFL team you would like to cover and why.
Thank You.

How Much Is Obama Spoiling For A Fight?
posted at 8:17 pm on November 28, 2012 by Duane Patterson
Still lots of speculation over whether or not Barack Obama will nominate U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to be the next secretary of state for the United States. After yesterday's disastrous appearnce by Dr. Rice in front of Senators McCain, Graham and Ayotte, and a follow up with Homeland Security Committee ranking member Susan Collins of Maine today, it appears that any such nomination would essentially be dead on arrival.
But yet, the President is still acting like he wants to move in the direction of Dr. Rice anyway. Holding his first Cabinet meeting since the election, with Dr. Rice in attendance, he said this:
Just a bit ago on Hugh Hewitt's show, Senator Ayotte minced no words when explaining what troubles her about the nomination.
No, absolutely. So yesterday, I met with Ambassador Rice, and here's where we are. A couple of concerns – number one, we know that the representations of connecting the Benghazi attacks to the video or protest, that was false. And the issue was she, you know, when she came into the meeting, she admitted that that was wrong. Well, I guess the first question is if you knew it was wrong and then the acting CIA director said we knew firmly by September 22nd that that was wrong, in terms of the intelligence, but no one, she had appeared on every single major news network, and had said, obviously made those representations. She never corrected them. That's number one. But secondly, here's what I learned that really bothered me. It wasn't just, I think we were left an impression that somehow she was just relying on these unclassified talking points that were changed. That's deeply troubling in and of itself, and let's just understand the change. The change was that as reported, the classified talking points said that individuals with ties to al Qaeda were involved in the attack on the consulate, and that was removed, the al Qaeda references removed from the unclassified talking points. But in her position as ambassador to the U.N., she didn't just review the unclassified talking points. She received daily intelligence briefings, and she did in fact review the classified talking points. So in other words, when she went on the Sunday shows, regardless of the reasons for it or the reasons for the unclassified version not containing al Qaeda, which I think are dubious, she went on and made representations, obviously, that would have led you to believe that this wasn't a terrorist attack.
She also keyed in on Senator Collins' concerns, which are that Dr. Rice previously served as the assistant secretary of state for African affairs in 1998, the very time our two Embassies were blown up by what later became al Qaeda. Providing security to those compounds would have fallen under her purview. Dr. Rice had no answers to Collins' concerns, and yet she's trying to remain a viable potential nominee. It makes you ask a question about Obama's real intent here.
The President is not adept at leading, being president, or campaigning, really. If there hadn't been a 24/7 media campaign in the mainstream media to do the heavy lifting for him, he would not have won this most recent election. MSM gave him at least three points' worth of a tailwind. What the President excels at is sowing division in the country by throwing up red herrings in order to keep people's eye off whatever ball with which he's trying to score.
Either Obama believes he won, and he's just that arrogant to believe that he gets who he wants, regardless of the veracity, or lack thereof, of the proposed nominee, or he wants the circus atmosphere to continue, allowing the left to continue to attach racial undertones to a potential nomination where there are no racial elements to discuss.
Dr. Rice clearly had access to classified breifings that undercut both what she said on the five Sunday shows, as well as the White House defense that she was just reporting on what she was briefed. So why the theatrics of continuing to defend her? Could it be that he's keeping the specter of the Rice nomination alive as a distraction so that while too many of us, me included, focus on this, he's gaining speed for the tax hikes he so desperately wants?
I'm all for continuing to pull threads on Benghazi wherever there are threads to pull, because the truth is owed to the familiies of those who lost their lives there. And the American people should know the truth about what their government does and doesn't do. But that said, I'm becoming concerned that this is becoming a rope-a-dope scenario.

you have the right to free and unrestricted travel by the normal means of the day...yes you can legally drive with no license, no plate, etc, unless you are doing so commercially, or for profit...many courts have upheld this all over the nation...I'll post some links later, with specific court cases, gotta go to work now...
That does not mean you will not get pulled over and go to jail...you will get pulled over, you will get harassed, you will go to jail...and then you can fight it in court

From what I've read about it, you still have to follow all posted speed limits and stop lights and other signs because those are laws without contradiction. It's simply a flaw in the way that the laws were written that leaves certain things to be interpreted in a different way.
It's similar to open carry laws. You could walk into Wal Mart with a shotgun slung over your shoulder. As long as you aren't threatening anyone and it is unloaded it is perfectly legal. Will people be scared and call the police? Yes. Will you get arrested? It's possible. Did you actually do anything against the law? No.

By all means, you can travel in a car, on a public highway, at your leisure. However, you can't actually operate the vehicle without proper licensing and insurance.
You're free to take whichever taxi, limo, or bus you want.

now, first off, I just want to say that everything I am talking about applies to public roads, and I will not be refering to expressways or interstate highways at all...I'm not sure how those fit in, since they were actually built for military use
you have the right to free and unrestricted travel by normal means of the day (yes, what is normal in this country, our Constitition does not apply to or care about anything that happens in Zimbabwe). The basis for this is taxes. We pay taxes for the upkeep and construction of roads, yet we are then taxed again for the use of those roads. A license plate and drivers license is a form of taxation.
Another argument against driver licensing is that it is a contract, with the between the state and the driver, to remove your rights and pay the taxes. A person under 18 cannot enter into a legally binding contract, yet you get your license at 16.
I'm not going to get into that one, thats a whole other issue.
The fact is, and has been held up by many court cases, that you have the right to free and unrestricted travel. Requiring you to license yourself and your vehicel are forms of taxation and restriction that are not constitutional. Regulations can be implied though (stop signs, speed limits, etc).
Case # 1 - "Even the legislature has no power to deny to a citizen the right to travel upon the highway and transport his property in the ordinary course of his business or pleasure, though this right may be regulated in accordance with the public interest and convenience. - Chicago Motor Coach v Chicago 169 NE 22
Case # 2 - "The right of the citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, either by carriage or by automobile, is not a mere privilege which a city may prohibit or permit at will, but a common right which he has under the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."- Thompson v Smith 154 SE 579.
click the link above for more...I'm no going to bother to copy-paste the whole page...but I will add this:
"As hard as it is for those of us in Law enforcement to believe, there is no room for speculation in these court decisions. The American citizen does indeed have the inalienable right to use the roadways unrestricted in any manner as long as they are not damaging or violating property or rights of
Of course, I have to bring up this quote from a pretty famous, and very important, case:
"Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them." - Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 491.
Of course, if you are on the road for monetary gain, driving commercially, etc., then none of this applies...any commercial vehicle can legally be taxed and required to be registered, and any commercial driver can be required to have a license.
"...For while a citizen has the right to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, that right does not extend to the use of the highways, either in whole or in part, as a place for private gain. For the latter purpose no person has a vested right to use the highways of the state, but is a privilege or license which the legislature may grant or withhold at its discretion..." - State v Johnson, 243 P. 1073, 1078.
And I'm sure someone will say taht states can make thier own laws, seperate from the federal laws...entirely true, and I would not want it any other way...except that the states cannot remove rights that are guarenteed by the Constitution.
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof;.shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary not withstanding". (This tells us that the U.S.
Constitution is to be upheld over any state, county, or city Laws that are in opposition to it.)
In the same Article it goes on to say just who it is within our governments that is bound by this Supreme Law:
"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution;". - ART. 6 U.S. CONST.

As I already stated, if you do decide to get rid of your drivers license, license plates, etc., you will get pulled over and arrested, go to jail, etc...but any fines levied due to not having these items are also not legal
"There can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon one because of this exercise of Constitutional rights."- Sherar v. Cullen, 481 F. 945. ( There is no question that a citation/ticket issued by a police officer, for no drivers license, no current vehicle registration, no vehicle insurance etc. which carries a fine or jail time, is a penalty or sanction, and is indeed "converting a Right into a crime".)

(yea, I know jeepitupyo already copy-pasted these links from somewhere)
do a little research and you will easily find many more cases holding this as fact.
Does any of this mean I am personally against licensing people to operate a motor vehicle, or licensing the vehicle itself? No, it does not mean that. I point all of this out for one simple matter.
The governement does step on our rights, remove them entirely if allowed, ignore the constitution, and we allow them to do it. It usually happens in ways that people dont even realize it is being done. Some will, and speak out against it, but for the most part, the people of this country have become lazy and ignorant of what thier rights actually are, what few powers the federal and state governments actually do have, and that the founding fathers chose thier wording of the original documents which this country was based on very carefully, because they were smart enough to know that they didnt know what the future might hold.

More along these lines, but on a slightly different subject?
Have any legal money on hand? I doubt it.
In Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 and Article I, Section 10, Clause 1, the Constitution adopts silver and gold coin exclusively as the money of the United States.
In Article I, Section 8, Clause 2 and Article I, Section 10, Clause 1, the Constitution prohibits explicitly or implicitly the emission of any form of what was called in those days "bills of credit". Today we would call that paper money.
Now the standard in this system is the dollar, and, if you know nothing else about the monetary system of the United States constitutionally, learn what a dollar is. A dollar is a silver coin containing 371-1/4 grains of silver. That word is mentioned twice in the Constitution: in Article I, Section 9 and in the Seventh Amendment, guaranteeing the right to jury trial.
In the system that the founding fathers devised, the legal value of all the silver coinage must be proportional to the weight of silver they contain, and the legal value of all the gold coinage must be proportional to the weight of gold that the coins contain in relationship to the exchange value between silver and gold at the prevailing free market exchange rate.
All silver and gold coins may be legal tender for the values of silver and gold they actually contain, and Congress has the authority to, as the Constitution says, regulate the value according to these principles.
Article I, Section 10, Clause 1 also disables the states from imposing on unwilling creditors anything but gold and silver coin as a tender in payment of debts — which, of course, reflects the inherent disability of Congress to declare anything other than gold and silver coin a legal tender
quotes from: http://www.conservativeusa.org/vieir100.htm
It doesnt take much to realize that the founding fathers knew corrupt people would eventually be in high places in this country, or people with less then adequate understanding. They did not want a country that issued paper (representational) money, or notes, backed by gold, which they could then control the value of, by either printing more money or selling off the gold.
Apparently, Lincoln disagreed.

I had an intersection where I clipped out on the wrong foot three rides in a row and ended up toppling over. Humiliating is very accurate.
My favorite was when I asked DH to tighten my pedals just a skoosh. Apparently he thought an extra turn was a good idea. I came to a complete stop and still could not get either foot out of my pedals...so there I was hovering and saying "oh shit oh shit oh shit" as I did a slow-mo fall to the street on my hip. Really wasn't hurt, just embarrassed and annoyed with the hubby.

I bought another 5 ½ stainless .45 Blackhawk with the intention of converting it with Bisley parts. The 5 ½ stainless Bisley became available and I bought one and shelved the other project. I have tried the Bisley with a variety of grips and finally found some I like, but even with heavy loads, I dont see enough advantage to get worked up about. I find with equal loads, there isnt much difference and I prefer the Blackhawk grip and hammer.
It is strictly a matter of personal preference.

The animal on the cover of ProgrammingAndroid is a pine grosbeak (Pinicolaenucleator). A member of the finch family, these largest of theso-called "winter finches" can be found throughout the coniferous forests ofthe northern hemisphere: in Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Siberia. Morerarely, during the winter some individuals stray as far south as the upperMidwest and New England portions of the United States, and on occasion eveninto temperate Europe. Adult pine grosbeaks are rather distinctive looking. Both males andfemales have long forked black tails and black wings with white wing bars.The remainder of a male's plumage is predominantly red, while femalesdisplay an olive color on the head and rump and gray on the back andunderside. Conversely, colors on young pine grosbeaks are noticeably moresubdued. Pine grosbeaks feed mostly on vegetable matter, including the buds,seeds, and fruit of various varieties of tree, though they will also eatinsects, and in fact prefer to feed such to their young. Interestingly,breeding adults will develop pouches in the floor of its mouth specificallydesigned to carry this food back to the nest.

Good on Gotchas

About Me Educator
Comments about oreilly Programming Android:
Programming AndroidJava Programming for the New Generation of Mobile DevicesBy Zigurd Mednieks, Laird Dornin, Blake Meike, Masumi NakamuraAt over 500 pages this book covers a lot of material. The authors have extensive experience and provide good examples that you can download from the companion web site - if you want a book to work through to learn programming in Android that you can have confidence in this could be the one.Even though the authors expect you to have some programming experience the early chapters provide a good explanation of Object Theory and the Java Programming Language and a very good explanation of Threading.It is in Part 3 that we really start to get going with a skeleton application that you can use as a template for your own projects. Here the authors are very good at explaining the 'gotchas' that can catch you out e.g.'The approach we take in this chapter enables you to visualize and understand the component life cycle before you know you need it. Retrofitting life cycle handling to an application that was written without understanding life cycles, or with the expectation that life cycle handling won't be needed, is one of the easiest ways to create an Android application that fails unexpectedly, in ways that are hard to reproduce consistently, and that has persistent bugs that can remain undiscovered across multiple attempts to eradicate them. In other words, it's best to learn this before it bites you in the ass.'There is a lot of code, good explanations, and good examples e.g. visualising the Activity Life cycle to enable you to see Memory Management in action. The latter part of this book contains Advanced topics such as REST, Google Search, Location and Maps, Audio and Video, Sensors, Speech and Accessibility.This book places you in a comfort zone, in the hands of experienced developers, provides you with good examples, and highlights the places where you can easily fall over.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Disappointing book
By Teodor Naydenov
from Sofia, Bulgaria
About Me Developer
Coming from embedded world with some Java background I expected this book would help me to start developing simple (and no so simple) android applications. After reading almost whole book, I can say I am very disappointed of it. My expectations from the book's title and table of contents were that I would find:1. Overview of the Android platform, it's components and their interactions from developer(internal) point of view2. Presentation of basic applications and their structure: used classes, messages, interaction with OS/Dalvik VM.3. Introduction to available library and it's most important functionality in order to create useful applications. 4. Introduction to extending existing classes and provide complex functionality.4. References where to look in order to find additional information for specific topics.Do not get me wrong. In the book there is plenty of useful information, but I am not happy with it's organization, presentation and completeness. Let me give several examples:1. While there are several paragraph discussing Intents and their usage, almost nothing mentioned about Activity's methods finish(), setResult(), startActivityForResult() ... Strange, right ?!?2. Want to implement service, well but almost nothing about Service class ?!?3. Want to make simple View animation (tweened animation), very well but instead simple example of basic usage, you can find only deep discussion of Animation class internal functionality and terrible example code.4. Need to understand activity stack, better look elsewhere ...There are much more, but I will stop here. Comparing this book with "Android 4 Professional Application Development" (http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Android-Application-Development-Guides/dp/1118102274), I would say the second one is better. But I would like to say that both books are pretty poor compared with API Guides from Google. They are really fantastic in terms of structure and completeness. Unlike mentioned books, they are free ...
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Disjointed and not build from the ground
By cube1us
from Madison, WI
I have been programming Java for several years, mostly in a web servlet context, and some of the more recent additions (e.g. annotations and generics) I have spent less time with. The book uses annotations widely and never explains them, contrary to the note on the back of the book which says it will help "Apply advanced Java concepts regardless of your experience with the language".Similarly, the first real example in the book in the section on Concurrency, on page 144, uses references to resources without ever explaining how one would go about *creating* such resources: in short, a forward dependency (though in a quick glance I could not find anything that *ever* explains how to do that).And yet the book spends oodles of time telling how to set up the development environment: something appropriate for a beginning book on Android (and those chapters led me to purchase the book, thinking it would be a "ground up" book, but for someone who already had development experience.The book also spends too much time pontificating on the "right" way to do things.This is the most disappointing O'Reilly book I have ever purchased, and I have purchased dozens, going way back into the very earliest days.Unless you are an *experienced* Android developer, do not purchase this book. The book isn't worthless, it just isn't well ordered.

A very very good start
By MattB2112
from Longueuil, Qc
This is the perfect book for someone like me who already has programming skills coming from other background (web using microsoft technos, .Net, c#) and want to turn to Android development. This book will show you how to change your old programming habits into good mobile Android programming by understanding the basics of Android so you can then go further and explore by yourself. Like I said before, if you already have programming skills, this is the perfect book for you.

Good stuff
By Raoul Duke
from Sunnyvale, CA
About Me Designer, Developer
I'm impressed that the book continually stresses writing good code, going into static analysis, good orthogonal / separation of concerns, how to deal with concurrency, the fact that so many software contracts are not enforceable by the compiler, that is-a is worse than has-a, etc.(Sometimes I think the verbosity of things probably works better in printed book form than it does via Safari, where I'm reading it.)

Had fun and learned a lot
By Vitaly
from Albany Ny
I purchased this book after reviewing the table of contents, seeing that it covered many of the topics I needed clarification on. Using the Account Manager, best practices for building a Rest client, going in-depth about content providers, services and fragments. Any further question I have had the author has done a super job answering them. I am building a location aware Rest client, and the book has gave me the ability to build the app in the best way.
Broad coverage
By Eric Zilla
from cambridge, ma
This book tries to be all things to all people. It starts with lots of detail for the novice, including using development tools, then moves gets into advanced material towards the end. It worked well for my needs -- starting in on Android without much experience, then having to get specific work done. So I read mostly the novice stuff at the beginning, then referenced the back just to learn about Android's NFC features.Pretty good book, especially for a first edition.

Not enough focus on Android
By Stuart
from London, UK
When the book does talk about Android, it seems ok. Nothing special, but also not too bad. However, I'm disappointed to have spent so much time flipping past large sections of the book just to avoid the unnecessary coverage of standard stuff every developer should know.For example, detailed step-by-step instructions on Eclipse... not even that focused on setting it up for Android, but talking about the platform. And standard Java coding practices too. These have both been covered in enough depth in other books and on the web, and I don't think they belong in this book.Definitely not a complete waste, but knowing what I know now I would've bought a different book.

I've found this trainer in Utah that trains dogs to help with autism, they help teach the dog to help the child when they are having or about to have a over load. Also help locate the child if they wonder. Thanks for all that help me understand the truth to esd.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
To sum this thread up somewhat and thoughts from those not yet educated on this topic:
It is highly unusual for a 6 month old pup to be a SD. The average training is between 18-24 months.
3 tasks are not required. This is a misconception to many. There are several organizations that have a 3 task requirement as per their organization but per Federal Law nowhere does it state that requirement. Does not matter which state you live in. Once a dog is considered a SD it falls under Federal Law UNLESS the state gives the handler more rights.
Emotional Support Dogs (ESDs) are not Assistance / Service Dogs. Any type of Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is not allowed to go anywhere that a pet is not allowed. The only reasons that even make it worthwhile to go through steps claiming a pet dog is an ESD is if you live in no pet housing or if you wish to take your dog on board a commercial flight and have it ride in cabin with you. Remember, you must have a formal letter from your doctor stating that in their opinion as your medical provider they believe that such a dog is an important part of your treatment plan. This information will then need to go into your medical records.
It is the owner/handler who has rights not the animal.
The Dept. of Justice deals only with Title II and Title III of the ADA which is Public Access.
There are other Federal Agencies dealing with housing, employment, travel and education. These agencies may ask more in-depth questions and require additional documentation.
If you are brought into the legal system, a Judge may request your medical records, documentation on the training of the dog and for a demonstration of the dog doing a task or work.
Lie or abuse the system on the matter of an ESD or SD and you have violated Federal Law and in some circumstances local State Statutes and County Ordinances. You may also have violated Health Codes.
To look at me, one would not see a disability. The genesis for me getting Fiona was falling. I would fall every few months. I had broken each of my knee caps in falls. Since, Fiona ... No falls when I walk with her. I have a spinal problem, a neck problem ,fibromyalgia and diabetes. Fiona helps me walk, helps me get up from a seating position when I cannot get up, keeps me grounded when I am hit with a dizzy spell. The thing I think is most important is that she is a pain dog. I am in constant pain, but with meds, Fiona and rest I can still work. Before Fiona my students thought I was mean and I had quite the reputation as a mean professor. But since Fiona, who comes to class with me, I am much much nicer, because my pain is under control. I can only takes meds every 4 hours, if I have a spike before time for the next pill, Fiona comes to me for attention. She is like a cat, not wanting constant attention, only when I need it.
As a surprise, Fiona started to note my high blood sugar. At first her trainer and I did not know what she was doing. She would place her nose on my backside, leave, and return, repeat until I acknowledged her. We figured out it was when my sugar was high. She does it when I am teaching a class or out in public. My diabetes doctor said I did not need a diabetes dog several years ago pre-Fiona. Most diabetics don't need a dog. But Fiona as a diabetes alert dog is a nice side benefit. She has kept me from having to use a scooter.

Exactly. Cards and vests are useful, and your pup COULD be an ESA OR (when trained to complete tasks that assist your son with his disability) a Service Dog, but that "company" is nothing more than a scam that plays into ADA loopholes to get money out of legitimately disabled individuals who think that there must be some sort of registration, so they pay a bunch of unnecessary money for registration in a completely legally worthless registry.
Again, not YOU I'm angry at. It's these "registries" and the lack of ADA education.

Artesa (ahr TESS uh) means "craftsman" and connotes "handcrafted" in Catalan, language of Barcelona and their owner, Codorníu, one of the world's largest and oldest wineries. The Codorníu Group actually consists of six spectacular wineries whose wines are enjoyed daily in over 100 countries around the globe. So, while Artesa is a relative newcomer to Napa, their heritage is rich. They share five centuries of history with 15 generations of a remarkable winemaking family. View all Artesa Vineyards and Winery Wines
About CarnerosView a map of Carneros wineries
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Notable FactsBoth Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Carneros are delicate, yet complex, with firm structure and acidity. And while the pair are the most popular varieties of the region, some winemakers have branched out, particularly with Syrah. The cool climate Syrah of Carneros is well structured and stylistically similar to Syrah from the Northern Rhone, though often fuller-bodied.
About California
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.

Foreign Minister Westerwelle deeply appalled by the death of UN personnel in Afghanistan
On the violent attack on the office of the UN mission (UNAMA) in Mazar-e-Sharif in Afghanistan Federal Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle declared today in Beijing:
"I am deeply appalled by the violent attacks on the UNAMA-office in Mazar-e-Sharif where, according to our information at least six UN-staff members were killed and more wounded.
We grieve for the dead and our thoughts are with their families, for whom the mission in Afghanistan took the highest toll.
In the name of the German Federal Government I would like to convey my deepest sympathies to the Secretary General of the United Nations. The United Nations stand for the global community. Under no circumstances may their personnel or institutions be subjected to violent conflict.
It seems that the burning of the Koran triggered the violence. The Federal Government, as well as the United Nations, the European Union, NATO and all our partners, oppose any desecration of religious symbols."

This evening's fixture is Arsenal's 23rd League Cup Semi-Final match in the Club's existence. Semi-Finals in the competition have always been played on a two-leg basis, and this is the Gunners 11th appearance in the final four.
The full list of matches is as follows:
January 17, 1968 - Arsenal 3, Huddersfield Town 2

I think it is best to do high quality ultrasound in addition to X-rays. The ultrasound will show metastases on the liver and other changes of soft tissue. It should be done by a specialist who knows what he is doing and on a good quality instrument. They did ultrasound on my dog to make sure his liver is clean, before we did the splenectomy.
Hopefully this is not hemangio.
I'm sorry that I don't have any advice for you, but I also wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about your problems with Cajun. I hope that someone experienced with this issue will be able to give you some advice.
The one thing I will say though is that the vets thought that our last dog had hemangioscarcoma. Her only symptom was grand mal seizures. They did X-rays and saw some spots on her spleen and her brain. We had her spleen removed and the spots weren't hemangiosarcoma. We lived somewhat close to Davis, so we had them remove the tumors in her brain and they ended up being benign. She had a happy life for several more years. The vets really thought it was hemangio. I guess what I'm getting at is that like you said, you never know for sure. I'm really hoping that this is the case with your Cajun.
Sending many good thoughts and your way. Please keep us posted.
|I'm sorry your having problems, can't help much, just offer my sympathies. I would think the tumors would show up on X-rays if hermangiosarcoma is the problem, mine did, but it sounds like mine were further along, also they both panted a lot, even when inactive. I heard others with hermangiosarcoma use yunnan baiyao, might be worth checking into just in case. Hope its something else.
another hemangio thread - advice please
I hope that I can make this simple and clear, here goes.
Cajun is a 7.5yo intact GSD. No history of hemangiosarcoma in the bloodlines . My dogs have been raw fed (PMR) for just over a year now. I practice minimal vaccines, rabies every three years after puppy vaccines and flea treatment if they get fleas.
Cajun recently has been having a hard time defecating if he is fed bones, which up until recently have been a main part of his diet. Now even one chicken back causes straining the next day. This started a few weeks ago. Also a few weeks ago I noticed his urine was very yellow. I have been keeping an eye on this and he started peeing a lot. No straining, a good stream but it is like he cannot void his bladder in one go. It is not a leg lifting thing, even in the back yard he will pee, then go to the other side of the yard and squat and pee, then squat and pee again. Producing urine each time in a steady stream. Eventually all he produces is dribbles and then he is done peeing. Wednesday night I took both boys for a walk, he peed many times and we came home. An hour later he peed on the floor. I took him out, he pooped and then had another big pee right after the poop.
Thursday we go to the vet with a urine sample. He has an enlarged prostate, makes sense with the peeing/pooping thing. Urinalysis comes back and there is no infection, no crystals, PH is 6.5. But his bilirubin is high. Vet is very concerned and is thinking hemangio at this point. We do bloodwork and wait for results. Get results on friday. I tested for everything - he has no lyme, no heartworm, T4 thyroid test is normal, WBC, RBC everything is normal except his ALT is 16 healthy range is supposed to be 18-121 and his lymphocytes are 0.9 healthy range to be 1.0-4.8. There is no abnormalities in the bilirubin in his blood. We do a second urinalysis today just to make sure, and results are the same, bilirubin is high. Specifically it says Large (+++).
Vet consulted with a cancer specialist, they also think hemangiosarcoma. Probably on the liver, or on the heart causing it in the liver and spleen. The reason we are not seeing bilirubin in the blood is because his kidneys are very good.
My head is spinning, I am trying to remember everything that is being told to me and the reasoning. It is really hard to understand and remember everything but I am trying my best.
I know this is very hard to diagnose and most dogs are diagnosed when they start to bleed out. Cajuns case would be a rare early catch of the disease. I have done some research and read many stories on here. Jocoyn seemed to go through something similar with Grim and I do plan to pm her.
I was given a few options: xrays which may or may not show the tumors, if they do then at least we know. Testing the liver bile acids - he would be fasted, bile tested, then fed and bile tested again. This is very expensive and might not tell us anything useful. And we could try a round of antibiotics in case it is an infected liver. They also want to put him on a low protein veterinary diet while on the antibiotics. I have no desire to put a dog with possible terminal cancer on a high carb diet, and he does NOT do well on kibble and is a very difficult dog to deal with when on kibble.
I do not feel like prolonging his pain. As it stands right now he is his normal, crazy, active self. He is not sick. He is eating, drinking, running, playing, no vomiting, no diarrhea, no pale gums, no lethargy. So I do not think he is bleeding out yet. We caught this very early. I do not plan to remove the spleen, nor do chemo. If it is the cancer then treatment will be palliative until the time comes when he needs to be released of pain.
There is still the issue of the enlarged prostate. Neutering would help lessen the hormones and reduce the size of the tumor. If there was no chance of cancer I would go this route. However, and this may sound cruel, I do not want to spend $600 on a neuter for a dog who may not live more than a month. I also do not like the idea of his body trying to recover from surgery while fighting cancer at the same time. So, through my research, I have learned certain drugs may reduce the hormones and reduce prostate size.
So what I have tentatively decided to do is the xrays and hope they show the tumors, do the antibiotics because that can't hurt and do the hormone drugs to shrink the prostate size. Keep him on his raw diet as that should help keep tumor growth slow. Keep an eye on him and make his life as wonderful as I can.
If anyone has any info on early diagnoses of hemangiosarcoma, or any insight on my thoughts and what I plan to do please share. My heart is breaking for my boy and I don't want to do wrong by him.

text: I'm starting to think about maybe getting some new boots and blades. I've absolutely loved my Reidells and want to get exactly the same boot that i've been in as the break in time was practically nil and they've served me well for many years. Obviously I'm well aware that you can buy too much boot as an adult recreational skater but I was wondering if you can buy too much blade? I'm due a bonus at work so i feel justified in splurging on myself particularly if it involves skating but i was wondering if swapping my Coronation Aces for say Gold Seal Revolutions would be a really bad move. I like the idea of having lighter blades and liked what i have read about them, but wonder if it is too much blade for me (and if such a thing is possible?). I realise the rocker and radius are quite different between the two blades so I expect getting used to the new blades might take a while. Thoughts much appreciated.

Phoenix Ranks Among Nation's Top College Towns To Invest In
(KFYI News) Phoenix ranks in the nation's top five when it comes to college towns worth investing in.
The Princeton Review came up with its rankings based on two key factors, raising a family in that town and whether it would be a good place to retire. Arizona State University's willingness to expand and create an urban campus also boosted Phoenix's rankings.
Researchers point to Phoenix and its affordable property values as a big draw. The median home price in the Valley is about $180,000, making it attractive to investors.

keep the production tips coming, I could use them. Just got the call and it's official.
I'll get $20 an hour commission and he says they'll bust my arse. He liked my restoration experience for the mud slinging aspect so I guess the mud slingers they do have are probably the older guys who are too busy fixing the train wrecks. I'm happy cause in restoration it's the same thing over and over and in Ca you don't get a lot of rust work, which is the fun stuff. So here I can better myself in being well rounded, and plus it makes icar classes more relevent as they're an icar gold shop.
Like I have said Henry, there is little difference to me as a tech, you "restore" that 2008 Honda back to original the same way as a 1962 Impala.
One thing that amazes me is how much I learned in collision that would have really helped me in the years I was doing custom and restoration work. There are a LOT to learn from the collision ways to do much better restoration work much faster, there are a LOT of very valuable methods to learn.
looks like I might be joining the dark side(production). Can't beat em join em, eh?
no money in restoration unless you're the owner or work at the best.
I wouldn't be surprised by how straight they get their work cause I can get it just as straight. For most dents it takes me two apps of filler so if a guy puts two coats of 2k and that's it the difference is just one more app of skim coat.
I think production guys get overwhelmed cause they aren't accustomed to waves in the metal, shear amount of dents, and hood/decklid supports. Just stuff you don't see in production. With that said, I'm sure they have all the tear down techniques you can dream of and weld good on paper thin metal.
btw, the shop I work at is a small restoration shop but we do work from all around the country. Anyhow, everyday I drive by this huge production shop that's known and they park their restorations outside and you can always see that very slight wavy ness. Having a solid process that's efficient isn't easy for production shops. I've been banging my head over it getting mine down and it didn't happen overnight. This process also means every hand on it must have the same pride and skill as you otherwise one mistake will hurt the process. You know all of this though. I'm just saying, I've seen the best production techs lay turds in restoration, and probably the same can be said about vice versa.
I came from the restoration side over to the collision side so I guess I see things different. I have always looked at collision repair AS restoration work. I mean, come on, if you are repairing a crunched 2009 Chevy Equinox aren't you "restoring" it back to original? What is the difference between that and "restoring" a 65 Mustang back to original? Obviously they are vastly different in the process, but the CONCEPT is exactly the same. I personally don't see the difference but many collision shop guys don't get it, you are right there.
As far as getting body work straight, you would be very surprised at how straight the guys where I work get their body work. The paint dept runs the show in this regard, you had better have the bodywork done good enough to finish it off in ONE two coat application of primer or you are getting it back to make it good enough.
I'm with you on doing your own blocking and paint prep work. I did it all for years so I am used to it, and honestly, I LOVE that final work. Bringing the work to paint perfect to me is a jazz, I love it. There is no guessing, there is no faking it, it is either right or wrong.
Any tech that's good at restoration can fix an isolated dent in production. It's a cake walk and most times they replace the part that's why so many production techs stumble when they get a classic car...they're overwhelmed.
As far as classics go, I like doing my own blocking. They can take the credit in the end.
btw, no you didn't say I was wrong. I had some beers last night. My perception was off but it sounded like you were saying it's unusual even for classic cars when it's quite common.
But it is much easier for a number of reasons, the rest of the panel is perfect because it has only the one dent being fixed in a near new panel, the paint is very thin being it has never been repainted so it's easier to feather out are a few of the reasons.
But honestly, I never said you were wrong. It is a good choice when doing a restoration and you have filler all over the panel and you have had to sculpt out body lines and such, it's a great choice. We have a 67 Chevelle for the boss at work right now that will probably get polyester primer over the entire thing. As my last line said... "It is a choice, an option and not horribly wrong or anything like that."
I say you're right about PRODUCTION but you're speaking as if it's for techs that can't nothing straight. We hold car shows this summer and you're close....bring your best work and let's compare!
most classic cars greatly benefit from poly primer. I've busted my arse enough on them to know.
You know the NCP 280 primer is a self leveling primer right?
Builds mostly where needed while it's still wet and moving.
Hard to explain, kinda like explaing gravity .. But it's nice to have gravity on your side...
Polyester primer is for SUPER high filling (primer wise) it IS like spraying "bondo". You could literally, I mean LITERALLY tape a dime on the fender and bury it with four or five coats of some polyester primers.
Polyester primer is great for something like a tailgate or firewall where you have a bunch of body lines and it is covered in dents or imperfections. You work out the plastic filler ("Bondo") with course paper (40 or 80) using much less time than finer paper and you don't don't have to apply a polyester putty or something to fill pin holes and those large scratches. You spray a few coats of poly primer on it and it is MUCH easier to work with than the body filler or poly putty.
It's great for bodies or parts that will need a skim coat of filler over the entire thing, you just can't replace polyester primer for stuff like that.
But for "regular" body work where your filler work is nice and finished off in 180 as it should be poly primer is a serous overkill. It's MUCH harder to sand, much harder to feather, it is just harder work with.
So feathering out paint around filler work if done properly, urethane primer is PLENTY and is done every single day in high quality shops all over the world.
Poly primer is a KILLER workhorse. I have done tests where I abused it big time, applying it over 36 grit scratches and painted black right over the top after preparing it with the proper finer grits and found ZERO shrinkage months later. The stuff is a killer workhorse. But it is not needed with most body and paint work.
It is a choice, an option and not horribly wrong or anything like that.
|not an issue but it is more absorbent than a 2k. If you final it with a 2k you won't be wet sanding it.
My mistake...That makes a lot more sense...You wouldnt believe the things I've seen people do with this product,filling dents is just one of them...
It hasnt been mentioned but when it first came out we had a lot of come backs because we wet sanded it and it absorbed water ..but,it might not be an issue any more with the new formula...
DBM wrote:
any primer that I would use or suggest would only be my personal opinion.what you should do is start a new thread and ask that question.This way you'll get everyones opinion of their experiances with different brands.I use two brands of urathane primer for production work and only one for super straight high quality work...SPI has about the best urathane high build primer Ive used so far ,it sands easy and it shrinkage is minimal ,its great for blocking a whole car down and gettting everything super straight...It is a little to thick for my production work though because for that I use a poly putty (evercoat) in place of primer for blocking ,its cheaper and faster for me ,when I prime its sanded with 320 -400 so I need a thinner primer not for straightening but filling any small scratches and something for the paint to stick to...
you havent mentioned anything about filling your dents just featheredging them.something that would help you imencely would be to guide coat "Everything" at "Every" stage of the operation,it'll be a lot faster and easier and take a lot of the guess work and mystery out of this. for instance guide coat your first coat of eopxy to find your high and low spots work the metal the best you can (this part is what really seperates the old timers from the newbies) on the bigger dents and waves use bondo (I like evercoats z grip) on your smaller stuff that doesnt need much filling use a poly putty (like evercoats ez sand).sand with 80..Guide coat your bondo and putty....re prime when done with more epoxy (Spi is great stuff) guide coat the epoxy and block again (180)(I like the black epoxy with a white guide coat) depending on everything you did so far and the kind of shape the car was in determines what kind of primer comes next...if you have any epoxy left use it all up,Spi can be use as a fill primer and you dont want to waste it by leaving it unused.many times you wont need any other primer but if its not straight enough use the urathane high build primer,guide coat and keep blocking with 180 ...this should get you in the ballpark for wet (block) sanding 320-400 ...You cant go wrong with SPI primers ,they're not super expensive and are of the highest quality and they have a tel,# you can call to get instant answears to any questions that can arise...You can use lower quality,cheaper materials and still get good results but this is a lot of work and no pro would take a chance on them.plus using cheaper, low end materials might even mean extra work...its just not worth it..But start a new thread and see what everyone else says they like ,weigh the pros and cons and make an informed decision based our knowlage and your budget..None of us know everything and whats right for me might not be right for you...
Well, I'm asking now! What is the best primer and/or product/method to use for filling(?)/smoothing(?) relatively minor panel "ripples"(?)/"waves"(?) once the "dents" and "dings" have been filled and feathered? I have already overcoated with SPI Epoxy Primer.From what I had read using the SEARCH function and the Evercoat website, I thought that FEATHER FILL was to way to go, but appears I may have been wrong.
BTW: I HAVE NOT bought the Feather Fill yet!!

Green Bay Swimming Squads Dominate Valpo in Home Wins
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay swimming teams picked up convincing home victories over Horizon League foe Valparaiso on Friday night, as the Phoenix men and women combined to have a winner in all 22 races at the Peter F. Dorschel Natatorium.
The Green Bay women defeated the Crusaders 119-78 to improve to a perfect 7-0 in dual meets this season and 16-0 when including invitationals. The men's squad won 122-79 to record its fourth straight dual meet triumph, improving to 4-2 on the year.
Reigning Horizon League Swimmer of the Week Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.) once again paced the Phoenix women, tallying three total wins on Friday. Wolf got the meet started by leading off the winning 200-yard medley relay (1:49.74) before taking home solo wins in the 200 freestyle (1:54.19) and the 100 backstroke (1:00.23).
Natalie Neuwirth (Stevens Point, Wis.) was also responsible for three wins, as the freshman joined Wolf on the 200 medley relay and then led off the victorious 200 free relay (1:39.51) in the meet's final event. Neuwirth also nabbed an individual win in the 500 freestyle (5:07.03).
Additional winners on the women's side were Kendra Rottier (Green Bay, Wis.) in the 1000 free (10:46.79), Claire Friederick (Lancaster, Wis.) in the 50 free (24.99), Autumn Roepsch (Dubuque, Iowa) in the 200 IM (2:14.12), Alyssa Udean (Lino Lakes, Minn.) in the 100 butterfly (59.38), Racheal Weiland (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.) in the 100 free (53.93) and Danielle Marcusen (Green Bay, Wis.) in the 100 breaststroke (1:07.71).
Sophomore Willem Poelmans (Hasselt, Belgium) won two individual events for the Phoenix men, claiming both the 200 IM (1:54.66) and the 100 breaststroke (58.87).
Evan Hill (Jefferson, Wis.), Ryan Korslin (Rudolph, Wis.), Cole Hackney (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) and Ben Loeffelholz (Dubuque, Iowa) were also two-time winners for the Green Bay men, as the quartet first teamed up for a win in the meet-opening 200 medley relay (1:33.86). Loeffelholz then went on to win the 200 free (1:47.44), Hill won the 50 free (21.76) and Hackney cruised to a victory in the 100 butterfly (52.10). Korslin's second win came in the final race of the night, as he swam the third leg of the 200 free relay (1:27.85).
Joining Korslin on the winning 200 free relay team were Robert Miner (Madison, Wis.), Alex Jenness (Prior Lake, Minn.) and Connor Andrew (Denver, Colo.). Miner and Andrew also grabbed individual wins on Friday night, as Miner took the 100 back in 53.47 and Andrew won the 500 free in 4:48.83.
Green Bay's other two wins of the evening came from junior Casey Murphy (Sun Prairie, Wis.) in the 100 free (48.27) and sophomore Connor Huff (Dubuque, Iowa) in the 1000 free (9:53.81).
Neither Valparaiso squad participated in diving events.
Green Bay is back in action tomorrow at noon, hosting IUPUI at the Dorschel Natatorium. The Phoenix women won the eight-team IUPUI House of Champions Invitational earlier this season (Nov. 22-24), while the men's squad placed second to the host Jaguars in Indianapolis.

I'm trying to demo some client-side exploitation and pivoting using Armitage but I noticed that meterpreter doesn't include all the scripts it should. When I type help I see that most of the meterpreter scripts I can access through Metasploit are not available.
I'm especially missing the mgirate script which is an obvious necessity to set as autorunscript for client-side exploitation and given that Armitage is an easy way to set up pivots and socks4a proxies with a nice GUI I don't see how that would be missing.
Am I doing something wrong, is there a way that I can access the same functionality and same scripts thorugh Armitage?

What's the Big Deal?
Emerging ARM server Calxeda has been hinting for some time that they had a significant partnership announcement in the works, and while we didn't necessarily not believe them, we hear a lot of claims from startups telling us to "stay tuned" for something big. Sometimes they pan out, sometimes they simply go away. But this morning Calxeda surpassed our expectations by unveiling just one major systems partner – but it just happens to be Hewlett Packard, which dominates the WW market for x86 servers.
At its core (unintended but not bad pun), the HP Hyperscale business unit Project Moonshot and Calxeda's server technology are about improving the efficiency of web and cloud workloads, and promises improvements in excess of 90% in power efficiency and similar improvements in physical density compared with current x86 solutions. As I noted in my first post on ARM servers and other documents, even if these estimates turn out to be exaggerated, there is still a generous window within which to do much, much, better than current technologies. And workloads (such as memcache, Hadoop, static web servers) will be selected for their fit to this new platform, so the workloads that run on these new platforms will potentially come close to the cases quoted by HP and Calxeda.

A recent report from The Nashville Tennessan says that Tennessee Titans tight end Jared Cook is seeking a trade. Cook will be a free agent in 2013 and given his request, he appears wholly uninterested in re-signing. Cook played in only 25 of the Titans' 59 offensive snaps on Sunday. He is averaging about five targets per game and likely wants to make a bigger splash before ending any negotiations for a new contract.
Fantasy Analysis:
Cook's big liability is his blocking. Even though he's still accumulating decent receiving totals, he's not on the field enough to merit the big contract he likely desires. Tennessee should make the deal, but how much would a team be willing to offer without any guarantee that Cook would re-sign after this season? Sign-and-trade deals are pretty rare in the NFL though, so it remains to be seen if anything will come of this announcement. It would only boost Cook's fantasy value if he were to switch teams, assuming he doesn't end up joining a team with an already established star at the position.
