The D: All Things Digital conference brings out the heavy hitters in the tech world and Motorola caused quite a buzz when the company discussed search for alternatives to the traditional password at the California conference last week.
Regina Dunn, who heads special projects for Motorola (which is now owned by Google) showed off an electronic "tattoo" that could be used verify your identity. Certainly harder to steal that a password, Dunn actually wore one on her arm. The tattoos are created using flexible circuits applied to your skin with a rubber stamp. The stamps were designed for medical use, but Google is interested in the possibilities for password protection.
Also on the drawing board, a pill with a battery powered by stomach acid that can produce a signal that turns your whole body into a password. Digital pills have already been approved by the FDA and the European Union.
Considering the privacy concerns raised by Google Glass, so much so that a Congressional Committee recently sent the company a letter demanding answers to seven privacy questions, password tattoos are sure to raise similar concerns.
Motorola head Dennis Woodside said it won't be happening anytime soon and promised that it's all going to be optional. "If you want to ensure failure in your innovation, try removing the risks," Dugan said. "Boredom is the enemy of innovation."
The real question might be, do people want to be living passwords? Or does it seem more creepy than convenient?

How many Fett's does it take to change a light bulb?
Well there are 2 schools of thought on this:
1. No one has ever or will ever live to tell.
2. No one knows for sure, each time the light comes on they dissapear into the shadows and someone shoots out the light.

The San Bernardino County, Calif.-based Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) has entered into a purchase agreement (PPA) with UTS Bioenergy LLC to install, operate, and maintain a 2.8 Megawatt (MW) DFC3000 stationary fuel cell power plant over the next 20 years.
The energy produced from what will be the largest unit of its kind will provide power and thermal energy to IEUA's largest water recycling plant in Ontario, Calif. The agency provides water and wastewater services to 850,000 residents.
"IEUA is very proud to augment its already successful renewable energy program with the addition of a combined heat and power fuel cell system" says Terry Catlin, IEUA's board president. Currently the agency has 3.5 MW of solar power installed and 1 MW of wind power under design.
IEUA will purchase power generated from the fuel cell plant and will use the generated heat to heat the biogas-producing anaerobic digesters at the water recycling facility. Fuel cells produce high-quality heat and water as byproducts, which boost efficiency rates up to 90%. The fuel cell plant is expected to be online by late 2012.
Located 35 miles east of Los Angeles, the agency was formed in 1950 to import water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California to augment local stream and groundwater supplies. Since then, IEUA has added wastewater treatment, producing and delivering disinfected tertiary recycled water, composting biosolids, and generating energy to its list of services.
The agreement moves the agency closer to its goal of using renewable resources to generate all of its power needs onsite.
This PPA isn't the agency's first: Through another power purchase agreement (that one being a solar project), the agency is financing the necessary equipment through Morgan Stanley and the California Solar Initiative. The agency invests nothing but agrees to buy all of the generated solar power from the financier, which owns and operates the system, at a predetermined rate of 10 to 14 cents/kW for the next 20 years.
According to CEO and General Manager Richard Atwater, the latest moves prove the agency's long-term strategy is working. "You need to be strategic, look at long-term trends, and pick your targets carefully," he says. "Options need to be carefully studied by a diverse team to confirm that there's a reasonable return on investment and limited downside risk."
About 19% of all electrical consumption in California is related to pumping, treating, and distributing water. Energy use will only increase with population growth. The service area of the IEUA is expected to grow by an estimated 50% over the next 20 years to about 1.3 million people.
The IEUA has adopted a goal to be off the electric grid by 2020 through maximum use of renewable energy, optimizing energy usage, and implementation of new generation technologies. Current total electrical usage is about 13 MW annually and will increase to 18 MW as a result of the increased pumping of recycled water to customers.

Thursday, May 28, 2009, 11:17 PM - Elections, Foreign Policy, Globalism, Opinion, PolicyMany of the things I have seen from the start of the Obama presidency have seemed ripped right from the pages of my favorite novel, George Orwell's 1984. Propaganda stunts, the permission of torture and extended detention without charges, government control of the economy, and talk of national health care. It is total fascism, and the media and much of the general public are in full support.
Posted by Administrator

Andrew Hughes has written a fantastic description of Obama's performance so far, entitled "America's Nightmare: The Obama Dystopia: Manipulation, propaganda, imagery & PR wizardry." Here is an excerpt:
The President that extended the hand of peace to the Muslim world has murdered hundreds of Pakistani men, women and children. The President who promised accountability in Government has filled his staff with lobbyists, banksters and warmongers. His Attorney General refuses to prosecute some of the worst war crimes committed in modern history and continues to give legal cover to criminals who tortured with impunity.
The country has been further bankrupted by the continuing theft of taxpayer money as the Wall St. campaign donors receive their quid pro quo. Obama has stood by idly as Bernancke states that the private Federal Reserve is not answerable to either Congress of the American public. The U.S. taxpayer is now on the hook for $14.3 Trillion and rising. Foreclosures and unemployment are rising with no meaningful efforts by the administration to alleviate the symptoms, never mind the cause. The new image of America is one of tent cities, lengthening soup kitchen lines, sherrifs evicting countless thousands of young and old from their homes, once prosperous towns descending in to an eerie stillness and an increasingly disillusioned populace.
The "War on terrorism" has mutated in to a control grid for an increasingly aware population. The foundation for this had already been put in place by Bush with the Patriot Act, Patriot Act 2, Military commissions act and numerous executive orders that strangled what was left of Posse Comitatus and the Constitution. (more here)
I have been reporting on the dangerous and unconstitutional policies of Barack Obama since early in his campaign for the Democratic nomination. I was intrigued when I first heard of this legendary young face in the Senate who was supposedly anti-war and pro-civil liberties. When I read his speech to the Council on Foreign Relations in August 2007, I knew exactly where he stood. He promoted American Imperialism and full support of the Israeli government in Middle East policy. He also used rhetoric suggestive of the CFR's documented efforts to build a North American Union, merging the U.S., Mexico, and Canada through a ridiculous infrastructure project and secretive policy-making.
Just after the New Hampshire primary, historian and left-wing political analyst Webster G. Tarpley wrote a piece about elitist puppeteer Zbigniew Brzezinski's influence on Obama and his role in the campaign. He talked about how Brzezinski initiated coups in Eastern European countries with the same campaign strategy he was using to push Obama on the American people. Tarpley saw in Obama's rise the resemblence of a young Mussolini. His concerns appear to have been correct. The propaganda campaign was successful, and since taking office in January, Obama's policies have been purely fascist.
Tarpley is featured in a new documentary, The Obama Deception, which is currently the number one film on the internet. The film covers Obama's connections to elitists who meet in shadowy policy meetings with the worlds top corporate and political leaders, and of course those nasty bankers who have been robbing our country increasingly over the last century. It also discusses Obama's rise to power and what we can expect to see from the first year of his administration. Below you can view the film on Youtube, or I have made a higher quality download available through my site that you can save by clicking here.

POSTPONED - Actor, singer and humanitarian Harry Belafonte to deliver Keith Biennial Lecture, Oct. 30
|Harry Belafonte
Belafonte official bio
Event postponed: An Evening with Harry Belafonte, Oct. 30
We regret to inform you that the Fifth Keith Biennial Lecture, An Evening with Harry Belafonte, scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 30, has been postponed due to issues regarding Mr. Belafonte's health.
We hope to reschedule the Biennial Lecture with Mr. Belafonte and will send you information on a new date as soon as possible.
Thank you for your interest in the lecture and in the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights at Wayne State University Law School.
DETROIT (Sept. 14, 2010) – The Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights at Wayne State University Law School is pleased to announce its Fifth Biennial Lecture featuring prominent actor, singer and humanitarian Harry Belafonte. "An Evening with Harry Belafonte," sponsored by Comerica Bank, will begin at 7 p.m. in Wayne State University's Community Arts Auditorium on Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010. A reception will take place at the conclusion of the lecture.
"The Keith Biennial Lecture has quickly become one of the most significant and anticipated civil rights events in the Detroit community," said Peter Hammer, Wayne Law professor and director of the Keith Center. "We are excited to have Mr. Harry Belafonte make this important address. This event will serve as an appropriate bridge between the groundbreaking for the new Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights last May, and the grand opening of the new facility next year."
"I am very proud that Comerica has the opportunity to partner in furthering Judge Keith's living legacy," said Caroline Chambers, national director of Comerica charitable giving programs. "We are especially excited to fund the Keith Center Biennial Lecture Series and to welcome Harry Belafonte to Detroit. Mr. Belafonte is an American icon and an important voice in our civil rights history. We look forward to hosting students at the lecture who, I hope, will be inspired and motivated by his example."
The Keith Biennial Lecture Series was initiated in 2002 with Professor Lani Guinier, former Keith clerk and the first woman of color appointed to a tenured professorship at Harvard Law School. The lecture series has brought other leading scholars and activists to Detroit to address issues of race, civil rights and social justice. Previous speakers have included Theodore M. Shaw, former director-counsel and president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Constance L. Rice, co-founder and co-director of the Advancement Project in Los Angeles, and Professor Derrick A. Bell, scholar, activist and leading expert on critical race theory.
Belafonte, who was born in Harlem, N.Y., and spent much of his childhood in his mother's native Jamaica, is well known for his roles in a number of movies and through his music. He won a Tony Award in 1954 for his Broadway performance in John Murray Anderson's Almanac, and starred in other films such as Carmen Jones, Kansas City, Swing Vote, Island in the Sun and Odds Against Tomorrow (the latter two explored racial boundaries). His albums Belafonte and Calypso soared to No. 1, the second launching a nationwide craze for Jamaican music. In addition, he became television's first black producer, winning an Emmy for his special, Tonight with Harry Belafonte.
Though he continued to record throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Belafonte began to put more energy into civil rights and humanitarian work. He was a leader in the USA for Africa effort in 1985, singing on the hit 1985 single We Are the World, and he became UNICEF's Goodwill Ambassador in 1986.
The lecture is free and open to the public. RSVP online at http://www.specialevents.wayne.edu/2010djklecture.
Complimentary parking will be available in Structure #1 across from the Law School on Palmer Street.

Now there are calls for the case to be reopened. Missouri Lt. Governor Peter Kinder (R) claims the state's entire reputation for impartial justice is being tainted and blasts Attorney General Chris Koster (D) for refusing to intervene in the case.
But is the story of Maryville now less about sexual assault in a small Missouri town and more about politics?
Update: This week, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters-Baker announced that she would review the case "without fear and without favor."

Simply type "airmon-ng" without quotes.
Then your WIFI interface, chipset and driver will shown up
Hope will help...
there are many tutorials and how-tos on installing some specific wi-fi driver.
but, i can`t find how to check what wi-fi driver is currently installed in the system.
Simply type "airmon-ng" without quotes.
Then your WIFI interface, chipset and driver will shown up
Hope will help...
Easy thing if you just know basic linux commands. First is it USB or miniPCI, pcmcia?...
miniPCI or pcmcia:
lspci | grep -i network
get the pci id (xx:xx.x) at the beggining of the output. then: lscpi -vvs xx:xx.x at the end of output, it is the driver used by kernel..
lsusb | grep -i network
get the USB : Device and then : lsusb -vvs xxx:xxx
or use the lsmod and look for the driver one by one. You can use pipes to filter results in lsmod...
If you want to know about the commands, type "man lspci", man lsusb, man lsmod...Read them....Every single command in linux has its own "man" (stands for MANual).
and how do i switch from one driver to another?
i`ve just installed compat-wireless on bt5r1 as described here
because with stock drivers my awus036nh shows nothing in airodump-ng
but airmon-ng still shows that it is using rt2800usb driver
maybe, there is some other backtrack and/or driver version i should use with awus036nh on a vmware?

Hampden-Sydney College has been awarded a Council of Independent Colleges - NetVUE Program Development Grant of $34,950 for a two-year program to expand and strengthen its current efforts in making vocational reflection a central part of the College's culture. Vocational reflection is an exploration of what a person should be doing in order to live a meaningful life. Much broader than career planning, it includes decisions about family commitments and community service. Vocational reflection asks students what it will mean for them to be good men and good citizens.
Hampden-Sydney's proposal was chosen from "an impressively wide range of demonstrably effective strategies" for enriching vocational reflection on campus, said Richard Ekman, President of the Council of Independent Colleges. With the grant, the College plans to conduct workshops for faculty and staff, bring resource people to campus, develop a working set of typologies for engaging students in vocational reflection, include the use of social media, and explore integrating vocational reflection into its freshman and sophomore advising programs. The result will be a new, shared understanding of vocation among faculty and staff, new and better ways of communicating about vocation, and the inculturation of vocational reflection throughout the College.
The Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE) is a nationwide network of colleges and universities formed to enrich the intellectual and theological exploration of vocation among undergraduate students. The initiative is administered by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) with generous support from Lilly Endowment Inc. and members' dues.

We hit the 5,000 profile mark on November 25, 2011. I just want to thank all those that have added their Mormon pioneer ancestors to the project. It is believed that this is one of the largest projects, in number of included profiles, on geni.com.
If you have Mormon pioneer ancestors or run across profiles of people living in Utah, Idaho, Nevada, in the 1850's and 1860's that you suspect might be Mormon Pioneers please post a link here so that this project will continue to grow. I'll verify that they were a pioneer and if so add them to the project.
There were approximately 70,000 Mormon pioneers and we've positively identified 5,000 with profiles on geni.com. Even as additional profiles will be continually added the focus for this project should now shift to adding source documentation to the profiles already included. A significant number of the pioneers died in Utah and there are death certificates available online for free here:
How you can help:
You can help by volunteering just 15 minutes of your time each day.
Find a pioneer's death certificate on family search. Do a save as and save the .jpg image to your computer. Use an image editing program to crop the death certificate and upload it to the profile of the pioneer. Upload it as a document and not an image. In the description of the document include the full web link of where the death certificate was downloaded from on familysearch.org. Now go to the birth, death and burial dates of the person and compare them to the death certificate. If they don't match correct the info and add the attached certificate as a source for the corresponding event.
As an example you can view the death certificate of one Mormon Pioneer Catherine Spencer Young http://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000014713744010
If you view her "edit profile" page you'll see that several of her life events are tied to this death certificate for documentation. http://www.geni.com/profile/edit_basics/6000000010525482256
Events that have source documentation have a sheet of paper icon in the far right side next to each event. Those that are lacking documentation have a sheet of paper icon with a question mark.
I'm asking for volunteers to add one death certificate each day for a Mormon Pioneer. Each death certificate added will take about 15 minutes of your time and your efforts will be greatly appreciated.
If your interested in helping reply here or post me a private message and I'll answer any questions you might have.

Honestly, some people prefer sides over the main dish at holiday dinners. This collection of healthy holiday sides has a little something for every palate, from crispy green beans to caramelized winter squash with grains.
From stuffing and green beans to mashed potatoes and salad, holiday sides recipes are just as important as the main dish. Add color and texture to your holiday buffet with vibrant veggie dishes featuring caramelized winter squash or crisp green beans. For a lighter side, opt for a citrus-flecked salad or a showstopping whole cauliflower. Pair those with potato dishes both savory and sweet. You can't go wrong with spuds that are stacked, swirled, baked or gratinéed.
Farro Stuffing with Butternut Squash, Red Onion, and Almonds
Side dishes shine during the holiday season, so don't settle for sub-par accompaniments. From bright, flavorful veggies to creamy mashed potatoes, we've got everything you need to make a great plate.
First up is this nontraditional stuffing, in which earthy flavors and starchy comfort come from whole-grain farro, not bread. You can assemble up to 2 days ahead. Take out of the fridge, let stand at room temperature 45 minutes, then bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
View Recipe: Farro Stuffing with Butternut Squash, Red Onion, and Almonds
Sheet Pan Roasted Vegetables
A mix of colorful root vegetables may be your star side. Peeled, prechopped butternut squash saves time, but pieces tend to be irregular and small—we prefer peeling and cubing it yourself.
Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Pomegranate and Pine Nuts
For a bit of showmanship, bring the whole cauliflower to the table, and then "carve" and dress with the vinaigrette, pomegranate arils, pine nuts, and parsley.
View Recipe: Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Pomegranate and Pine Nuts
Sweet Potato Stacks with Sage Browned Butter
Holiday sweet potato sides can lean toward too-sweet territory; a dose of salty, nutty Parmesan balances the flavor in these adorable, delicious stacks. Get the kids to help by having them stack the slices and cheese in muffin cups as you follow behind with the browned butter. Use small potatoes so the slices will fit into the muffin cups. Make sure to slice the potatoes on the thin side, about 1⁄4-inch thick, so they'll cook through (insert a toothpick in the center of each stack to test for doneness). You can also alternate with slices of baking potato or parsnip for pretty white and orange layers.
Skillet Green Bean Casserole
We've shortened (and lightened) this holiday classic by bringing everything together in one pan and using the stovetop and broiler rather than baking.
Grapefruit, Endive, and Arugula Salad
Tossing the endive leaves in the vinaigrette first softens their bitter edge. You could also sub thinly sliced fennel or chopped Romaine hearts.
Potato and Leek Gratin
A mandoline will slice the potatoes quickly and to the same thickness, though a sharp knife will also work. Instead of being buried in cream, the potatoes and leeks are simmered in and drizzled with milk so the potatoes get wonderfully crisp and tender and the cheeses form a melty, golden crust. The result is a rich, rustic potato side with contrasting flavors and textures—a bit of crunch to round out the stuffing, sauces, and mashes on the plate. Reheat leftovers in the oven until crisped and warmed through, and then serve with eggs and a side of fruit for breakfast.
Sausage and Chestnut Dressing
Chestnuts bring rich, nutty flavor without adding much fat or many calories, as would pecans or walnuts. You can find whole roasted chestnuts in the baking aisle.
Baked Mac and Cheese
We added a surprise ingredient, canola mayonnaise, to make things extra creamy.
Cauliflower Salad
A fresh, crisp salad balances the lineup of heavier, rich side dishes. You can follow a recipe or just compose one with pretty cuts of your favorite vegetables and herbs tossed with a light vinaigrette. Make this salad a day ahead if you want the flavors to absorb into the cauliflower a little more. Just hold off on adding the cheese until right before serving.
Green Beans with Dried Cranberries and Hazelnuts
Every plate needs a little green on it. Blanch the beans ahead, and store in the refrigerator to eliminate a task from the Thanksgiving Day prep list.
View Recipe: Green Beans with Dried Cranberries and Hazelnuts
Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Maple Gastrique
The gastrique, a tangy-sweet glaze, is Thanksgiving worthy but also simple enough to pull off on a weekday.
Classic Corn Bread Dressing
This is the quintessential Thanksgiving side dish in the South. It is made from crumbled corn bread, with no added French or sourdough bread to cut it, so the texture is unique. Loads of aromatics give this dressing its flavor; don't be tempted to use less.
Cheesy Potato Casserole
Rather than using sodium-loaded canned soup, we made our own creamy sauce to update this dish.
Supersavory Wild Rice Pilaf
The fluffy pilaf will soak in all the delicious juices from your plate making it the perfect side dish.
Sweet Potato Casserole
No Thanksgiving table is complete without this sweetened vegetable. Our modern twist on the classic sweet potato casserole is a fragrant vanilla bean streusel.
Shaved Apple and Fennel Salad with Crunchy Spelt
Simply put, apples and fennel are right together—the flavors are so complementary. We love the way the paper-thin slices intertwine and then get interrupted by bright hits of parsley. Canola oil may seem like an odd choice, but we wanted to keep the flavors clean and straightforward; you can always use olive oil if you'd like the vinaigrette to assert itself.
View Recipe: Shaved Apple and Fennel Salad with Crunchy Spelt
Southern Corn Bread Dressing Squares
The original recipe is made with two sticks of butter, but we lightened it by saving most of the butter for the crispy top. Look for stuffing mixes free of additives, unhealthy fats, and sugar, such as Arrowhead Mills, Trader Joe's, or Whole Foods 365.
Roasted Broccoli with Pistachios and Pickled Golden Raisins
Some version of broccoli, usually laden with cream and cheese, lands on many a Thanksgiving table. But this dish, with its beautifully balanced flavors, is much lighter—and vegan.
View Recipe: Roasted Broccoli with Pistachios and Pickled Golden Raisins
Mom's Smashed Mashed Potatoes
To keep potatoes warm until the meal is ready, place them, loosely covered, in a heatproof dish or bowl, and set them (without submerging them) in a larger pot of hot water over very low heat. They'll stay warm without scorching on the bottom.
Cheesy Sorghum and Shaved Squash Pilaf
Long, slender ribbons of butternut squash make for a beautiful and unusual presentation; just be gentle when stirring so you don't break all those gorgeous pieces. Try to grab a squash with a long neck—that straight surface works best for ribboning. If you can't find sorghum, you can use farro.
Smoked Barley, Beet and Grapefruit Salad
This CL–perfected stovetop technique makes smoking food easier than ever (though the salad is still tasty if you choose not to smoke the grains), and smoke is such a fun flavor to apply to unexpected ingredients like barley. A sweet vinaigrette, earthy beets, and the intense citrus twang of grapefruit balance the robust smoky hit of the grains for a memorable salad. To make sure you're getting the whole-grain version of barley, look for hulled, and skip past pearled.
Brussels Sprouts Salad with Pickled Rye Berries
Something rather lovely happens when you soak the chewier whole grains (such as rye or wheat berries) in a pickling brine; the tangy notes make the chew that much more enjoyable.
View Recipe: Brussels Sprouts Salad with Pickled Rye Berries
Leek and Pancetta Potato Rösti
Maximum surface area means more crunchy bits in this rösti, essentially a large potato pancake, perfect for the hash brown lovers in your family. If making ahead, cool on a wire rack, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Reheat in an ovenproof skillet at 350° for 10 minutes or until recrisped.
Sautéed Green Beans with Miso Butter
Super savory miso elevates crisp beans beyond their humble goodness.
Sautéed Green Beans with Spice-Glazed Pecans
Beat the last-minute cooking frenzy by making the glazed pecans up to 3 days in advance and storing at room temperature in an airtight container; double the ingredients for an appetizer guests can munch on before the meal.
Cardamom-Glazed Carrots
Turn up the volume on classic glazed carrots with exotic cardamom and fragrant fresh ginger. If you can find multicolored carrots, use them for a lovely presentation, as we did in the photo. The parchment paper lid slows moisture loss just enough to form a beautiful glaze.
Caramelized Onion and Garlic Mashed Potatoes
You can respond to cries of "It's not Thanksgiving without mashed spuds!" by taking this classic to the next level: Think garlic-infused olive oil and sweet caramelized onions.
Linguiça Sausage Stuffing with Mushrooms
This twist on a classic sausage and sourdough stuffing uses smoky Portuguese linguiça in place of crumbled pork sausage. Kielbasa or any smoked sausage would also work.
Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Chive Sour Cream
These potatoes deliver the best of both worlds: creamy, starchy center and crisp, golden edges. To smash, place the back of a wide spatula over each potato, and then press with the heel of your hand.
Sautéed Haricots Verts with Bacon Breadcrumbs
Slender haricots verts get delightfully browned and crisp in the pan. A bacon breadcrumb topper makes them an instant crowd-pleaser.
Apple-Sage Stuffing Cups
The muffin cups give you crispy edges and a tender interior in half the time, though the stuffing won't hold its shape like a traditional muffin. Presliced bread and prechopped onion and celery save time.
Roasted Cauliflower with Fresh Herbs and Parmesan
Far from its overcooked cafeteria-line incarnation, cauliflower takes well to sophisticated flavors and roasts wonderfully. The high heat of this recipe makes cooking fast, but is also necessary for the pretty and tasty browning of the cauliflower's surface. If you want a crunchier texture, add a tablespoon or two of panko at the end with the Parmesan and lemon.
View Recipe: Roasted Cauliflower with Fresh Herbs and Parmesan
Sausage, Apple, and Fennel Corn Bread Dressing
There's something incredibly comforting about this dressing―the fluffy corn bread combined with sweet apples and smoky spiced sausage just warms you to the core. It's great with turkey and all the trimmings, or reheated for a post-Thanksgiving snack.
Butternut Squash and Leek Gratins
A crunchy browned cheese topping conceals a hearty, sweet squash-and-onion combination here. Serving individual gratins in single-serving ramekins makes for a more impressive presentation than one large casserole, and the individual servings cook faster as well.
Ranch Mashed Potatoes
Add tangy zest to a mild-flavored classic with this recipe. It has the quintessential rich-and-creamy texture of mashed potatoes, while adding visual appeal with skin-on red potatoes and taste appeal with sour cream, buttermilk, and herbs.
Winter Jeweled Fruit Salad
In Mexico, copas de frutas (fruit cups) are popular street food. They typically consist of fresh fruit sprinkled with lime juice and chili powder and are the inspiration for this jewel-colored fruit salad. Jicama (pronounced HEE-kah-mah), also known as a Mexican potato or turnip, tastes like a cross between an apple and a potato and adds crunch to the salad.
Citrus Green Beans with Pine Nuts
Citrus gives a common side dish an unexpected, but delightfully delicious, makeover. The dish is light and refreshing so it won't bog down your plate.
Garlic-Roasted Kale
Roasting kale is amazing—the leaves turn from a dusty dark green to dark emerald with brown-tinged curly edges that crunch. This vegetable side is delicious served hot from the oven; the leaves lose their crisp texture as the dish stands.
Wild Rice Dressing with Roasted Chestnuts and Cranberries
The nutty, almost smoky flavor of wild rice pairs beautifully with game birds and other poultry. Bright bits of dried cranberries, fresh herbs, and sliced carrot give this side dish definite curb appeal.
View Recipe: Wild Rice Dressing with Roasted Chestnuts and Cranberries
Haricots Verts with Warm Bacon Vinaigrette
Haricots verts are tiny, fresh French green beans. If you can't find them, substitute regular fresh beans, which you'll need to cook a few minutes longer. You can also use white wine vinegar instead of Champagne, if necessary.
Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Braise the Brussels sprouts and toast the bread-crumbs up to a day ahead. Before serving, add cooked, crumbled bacon to the toasted breadcrumb mixture, and then sprinkle the mixture over the sprouts. Broil 3 minutes or until golden and thoroughly heated.
Rosemary Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Shallots
You don't need butter and cream to make wonderfully creamy mashed sweet potatoes. Heart-healthy olive oil adds flavor and silkiness without saturated fat.
Sausage and Sourdough Bread Stuffing
Lots of tastes and textures to sample as you travel around your plate—that's our idea behind having lots of sides. Start the journey with this rustic stuffing.
Brussels Sprouts with Honey-Glazed Pearl Onions and Capocollo
The salty richness of bacon, ham, or other cured meats round out the bitterness of Brussels sprouts, turning the oft-reviled veggie into something transcendent. The addition of sweet pearl onions and honey just adds another dimension on top of that. The flavor of capocollo, made from pork shoulder, is very similar to prosciutto or Serrano ham; you can substitute either if necessary.
View Recipe: Brussels Sprouts with Honey-Glazed Pearl Onions and Capocollo
Maple-Pecan Sweet Potatoes
You can make this dish up to two days ahead. Simply bake the potatoes and assemble. Then refrigerate and bake just before serving.
Buttery Lemon Broccolini
If you want to get a jump on this recipe, cook the Broccolini four minutes, plunge it into ice water, and refrigerate. Separately prepare the compound butter, and chill it. Then finish cooking the Broccolini in the skillet, and toss it with the butter just before serving.
Buttermilk-Parmesan Mashed Potatoes
Be sure to purchase a crumbly wedge of Parmigiano-Reggiano for this super quick potato side dish. The salty flavor will give just the right bite to these melt-in-your-mouth mashed potatoes.
Italian-Style Escarole
Peppery mustard greens and slightly bitter escarole combine with raisins and pungent garlic for a tasty green veggie side. If you can't find mustard greens or escarole, you can make this dish with fresh spinach.
Fontina-Stuffed Potato Skins
Bake potatoes up to two days ahead, and fill with stuffing. Cover and refrigerate. Before serving, let them stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano, and bake.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Apples
We tested with Fuji apples and love the sweet-tart contrast with the bitter Brussels sprouts. Leave the red skin on for a pretty contrast, or peel the apple, if you prefer.
Bulgur with Dried Cranberries
Serve this lemony bulgur--an American interpretation of Middle Eastern tabbouleh—instead of the more familiar and expected stuffing.
Classic Herbed Bread Dressing
Refer to our recipe for Homemade Turkey Broth, or you can substitute fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth to prepare this recipe, but reduce the added salt.
Soft Polenta with Wild Mushroom Sauté
This is an easy and versatile side dish. The polenta is topped with a quick sauté of wild mushrooms (or use exotics, like shiitake and oyster, if wild are not available). If you replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth, this side dish can serve four as a vegetarian entrée. Garnish with sage sprigs.
Gratin of Cauliflower with Gruyère
Gruyère's nutty, earthy flavor is a nice match for subtle cauliflower, and crisp breadcrumbs add texture. Substitute broccoli for the cauliflower, if you prefer. You can prepare all the elements for the dish a day ahead, if necessary. Refrigerate the sauce, the cauliflower, and the breadcrumb mixture separately, and simply assemble before baking.
Smashed Potatoes with Goat Cheese and Chives
If you want to make the potatoes ahead, chill them and reheat just before serving, adding extra liquid to desired consistency. Stir in the chives just before serving. For a nice presentation, sprinkle additional chives over the top.
Brussels Sprouts with Currants and Pine Nuts
Peel away the outer leaves from trimmed fresh Brussels sprouts, reserving the leaves and centers. This technique shortens the cook time and makes a nice presentation.
Risotto with Champagne and Radicchio
This recipe sounds, looks, and tastes sophisticated. With an elegant balance of flavors―tart Champagne, salty Parmesan, bitter radicchio, and sweet onion―it will impress at any meal, whether a weeknight family dinner or a fancy New Year's Eve buffet.
Wild Rice Stuffing
It seems like just about every family has a signature stuffing (or dressing) recipe, based on one of a wide variety of grains. This recipe uses nutty wild rice, along with tart-sweet dried fruit and plenty of classic sage, creating an inspired side that might just become a new tradition in your home.
Green Beans with Bacon
About 15 minutes is all it takes to put together this flavorful―and healthful―dish. It's got all the meaty flavor of bacon and tender crunch of fresh green beans with only 46 calories and 1.11 grams of fat per serving.
Sourdough Stuffing with Pears and Sausage
Completing the triumvirate of stuffing styles, this bread-based version takes advantage of sourdough's tangy chewiness for structure and taste, while adding the unexpected flavors of earthy mushrooms, subtly sweet pears, and licorice-like tarragon.
Camembert Mashed Potatoes
Soft, mild camembert cheese adds the same creaminess to mashed potatoes that butter and cream do, but it also brings in a sophisticated tangy, distinctly cheesy flavor. Any young, soft cheese can be used in this recipe―try your favorite brie, or even a creamy chévre.
Sautéed Carrots with Sage
You can easily double, triple, or quadruple this small-yield recipe to feed more hungry holiday dwellers. A few simple ingredients turn carrots into a star side dish.
Browned Butter Bourbon Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes laced with bourbon, butter, and cream—what could be better?
Romano-Topped Brussels Sprouts
Simple roasted Brussels sprouts get a big flavor boost from one simple addition: salty pecorino Romano cheese, which punctuates the traditional fall veggie dish with meaty umami notes. You can also use subtler Asiago or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, if you prefer. Quarter the larger sprouts so they are about the same size as halved smaller ones, and spread them in a single layer in two different roasting pans so they brown nicely and evenly.
Sautéed Broccolini with Tomatoes
This speedy, simple stovetop dish saves you oven space and can be prepared at the very last minute and then brought to the holiday table. Roma or plum tomatoes are the best choice this time of year.
Green Beans with Caramelized Onions and Walnuts
Here's a crowd-pleasing side that's easy on the pocketbook: just 67 cents per serving! If money is no object, consider finishing with a flourish of white truffle oil.
View Recipe: Green Beans with Caramelized Onions and Walnuts
Mushroom and Leek Stuffing
This delicious yet budget-friendly dish comes to $1.15 per serving. Look for a poultry herb blend in the produce section—one package contains all the herbs you need. Slice leeks and swirl them around in a big bowl of water to wash.
Sausage and Apple Stuffing
Sweet Italian sausage, chopped fresh fennel, and apple combine with tangy sourdough for a classic Thanksgiving stuffing.
Polenta-Sausage Triangles
Prepare polenta through step 2 up to two days ahead. Before serving, let the dish stand at room temperature one hour, cut polenta into triangles, and toast them at mealtime. Pork sausage gives them a wonderfully familiar, stuffing-like flavoring.
Mashed Potato Soufflé
Who knew instant potato flakes could be the basis of such an amazing dish? It's really something of a faux-fflé--technically not a soufflé, but you get the same puff-tacular results without even having to whip egg whites.
Make-Ahead Layered Salad
Pre-chopped veggies and pre-cooked bacon and eggs help you pull this charmingly retro dish together in a flash. Typical layer dips and salads are loaded with cheese, sour cream, and refried beans, making the saturated fat and calorie numbers quite high. However, this salad is packed with protein and nutrient-dense veggies that deliver just as much flavor as your favorite bean dip. You can assemble the salad, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Eat it straight out of the bowl, or scoop it out with chips or lettuce cups.
Easy, Cheesy Potato Gratin
Refrigerated presliced potatoes slash tons of prep and cook time. The combo of Gruyère and Parm-Regg cheeses is delicious, but you can use all one type if you prefer.
Quick Traditional Sweet Potato Casserole
This side is ridiculously easy and goes into the oven in only 10 minutes, thanks to sweet canned yams. To boost flavor and add richness, we counter the canned spuds with luscious crème fraiche; chunks of almonds bring big crunch.
Green Beans with Sherried Mushroom Sauce
Here's a faster, fresher take on green bean casserole that's done all on the stovetop--one less thing to try to work into oven rotation on the big day. Although we use fresh beans and make our own creamy sauce, we've kept the French-fried onions (arguably the best part of traditional green bean casserole). To speed prep, you can purchase bags of fresh, pretrimmed green beans from the produce section.

Yes, you are right. Another reason why I never buy a gun on the net :-D
Sorry you had to go thru all that.
Be careful about buying from vendors associated with "Guns America" they don't have any way for you to check a vendors reputation (sellers history) on past sales - Like Ebay, Gunbroker and Auction Arms does.
I bought a Colt .45 Gold Cup from a vendor called D&L Shooting Supplies in Warwick, RI. They are a long standing gun dealer in the RI area. (actually have a large physical location - storefront) Long story - long - after speaking on the phone with the owner Al and his assuring me that the gun was LNIB, and he can't send me a pic because he doesn't have time, and if I don't like it I can send it back for a full refund - yickedy, clickedy, dak, blah, blah, blah...
The gun arrived the biggest piece of SH!T worn out like a 60 year old bleach blond hooker from Main St. USA and filthy beyond belief - This gun was sooooooooo dirty (how dirty was it) it was caked in layers of gunk, this guy not only thought he was going to screw me but he dissed me bigtime as he didn't even care enough to try and fool me with a good cleaning before shipment.
Well sent it back after calling in my displeasure and yup you guessed it - it took me two weeks to get a credit refunded and only after I told him the Warwick P.D. would be down to pay him a visit.
Anyway, I thought I would post this as a reminder to be VERY careful buying online and if it smells funny it usually is run don't walk away. I thought something was fishy when he refused to send me pictures...
Yes, you are right. Another reason why I never buy a gun on the net :-D

16 gb's should be just fine.
This may stem from how you have your partitions set up.
You might want to pick one of the guides here on the main site here and try again.
Thanks for such a great tool, learning new tricks like a fiend!
Here is the problem; I've installed BT4 final using unetbootin-windows-442 onto a 16gb USB drive.
Right after installing I try to update using the command apt-get update then apt-get upgrade
it tells me that ~600mb will be used, I say ok go.
The upgrade fails with error 1, and I get a pop-up saying there is less than 1% free disk space.
I checked the USB partition using gpart and itsays only 1.49gb used, 13.57gb free.
I also checked using df -h and see that the rootfs is 99% used.
I reviewed the different methods of installing BT4 final including manually partitioning but don't see where I can specify a larger rootfs partition.
I re-installed BT4 again, this time looking for an option to increase the rootfs partition size and still nothing.
This has to be a common problem. Is BT4 too big for a 16gb USB drive, do I need a 32gb?
16 gb's should be just fine.
This may stem from how you have your partitions set up.
You might want to pick one of the guides here on the main site here and try again.
Thanks for the fast reply.
That's just the problem, I've been researching for 2-days on how to configure the partitions when installing BT4 final on a USB drive.
I followed the tutorial video's here USB Live | BackTrack Linux - Penetration Testing Distribution
It's brainless and easy, and I've had 2 successful installs to my 16gb USB drive with the same result, a 1.5gb rootfs partition.
I could use some help with getting unetbootin to make the rootfs partition larger, say 3gb. I've searched and came up dry.
So to tripple confirm I did the manual install again for a 3rd time. This will now be 5 installs in total of BT4 final on my 16gb USB drive. All were successful installs, BUT ran out of disk space immediately when I tried to run "apt-get upgrade".
The upgrade requires 684MB of space, and rootfs only has 492MB.
Can someone please help me create a USB BT4 persistent Live install that has a larger rootfs partition?
I think it should be at least 1GB.
As I watched the progress of the "apt-get upgrade" command, I had a second shell open and ran "df -h" several times to monitor what partition was filling up.
I could clearly see that rootfs was being used to store the files apt-get was processing. it's only 492MB, and the update is 684MB.
I'm 1-week old to Linux, so yea it took me way longer to figure this out than it should have.
So you super dudes out there have any idea how to alter the BT4 USB install to avoid this situation?
Last edited by balding_parrot; 05-29-2010 at 09:24 PM.
You have obviously only done a live install as you have used unetbootin and as such you cannot make the changes or save them as you are trying to do. To explain that further, everything you are doing is only in RAM and you are running out of it doing what you are doing. Your install is effectively just the same as if you were running from a DVD.
Look here for one solution to your problem, the other is a full install to the disk.
Last edited by balding_parrot; 05-29-2010 at 09:31 PM.
Thanks again, but I did follow the instructions verbatim in the above link BaldingEagle provided.
The USB install is persistent as far as I understand the concept, upon reboot any changes like background in X or files I leave on the desktop are still there.
It feels to me that there is something in this command here:
grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt/sdb1 /dev/sdb
That is defining rootfs (/) to be only 492MB. That's the problem, rootfs needs to be larger.
Using both the unetbootin method and the manual method linked here result in identical USB installs as far as I can tell.
That is, you run out of disk space when trying to run "apt-get upgrade".
There has to be a way to fix this.
It has 1gb RAM. I booted from another PC with more RAM and the volumes resized based on the available RAM. Yes it seems I'm only running BT4 off the USB in RAM. I'm confused as to what I need to do to be able to save changes made on a USB drive.
When I boot from the new USB 16gb drive, I chose "Start Persistent Live CD", I thought this was the method that would allow changes made to be saved.
Is that not correct?

Wojciech Szczesny has apologised for Arsenal's failure to land a trophy this season and admits that the fans are entitled to air their frustrations.
A chorus of boos greeted the half-time and full-time whistles at Emirates Stadium on Sunday as Arsène Wenger's side ended their home campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa.
Many supporters had left before the players embarked on their 'lap of appreciation' for the fans and Szczesny can appreciate why the atmosphere was more hostile than usual at the weekend.
"Of course I understand the fans' frustration because we should be winning trophies," he said.
"This is one of the biggest clubs in the world and we should be winning trophies every year. So I totally understand the frustration of the fans, and we apologise for our lack of trophies this season.
"Personally I am not really happy with our season because we didn't win anything. Obviously I am happy to be playing for Arsenal and I am trying to do my best, but if we look at this season we never won a trophy, so it is disappointing for me.
"I think we will have much more desire next season as we know how close we were this season to winning the Carling Cup and Premier League. That will give us more motivation and desire to go for it next year and obviously we will have one more year's experience."
The last-gasp Carling Cup Final defeat at Wembley in February has been blamed in many quarters for the downward spiral of Arsenal's once-promising season but Szczesny is not so sure – even though he was involved in the error that handed the trophy to Birmingham.
"If you ask my opinion, I put it behind me straight away and I was focused on all the games coming up, so for me it made no difference," he said.
"Obviously I was disappointed not to win the Carling Cup, but for me it made no difference to what happened after. You have to ask the other players what they thought about it.
"I think when we lost the Carling Cup we still had a very good chance to win three trophies, and we are disappointed that we didn't."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

About Me Developer
Comments about oreilly Oracle APEX Cookbook, 2nd Edition:
The book contains fifteen chapters starting with "Creating a Basic APEX Application" covering several topics such as "Themes and Templates", "APEX Plug-ins", "Using Web Services", '"HTML5 and CSS3" and ending with "Mobile".Each of the chapters contain several recipe on how to implement a particular feature or functionality.The way each recipe is setup is as follows: it starts with a short introduction "Getting ready", followed by "How to do it..." and lastly "How it works...". Most recipes also include "There's more..." which gives you additional information about the topic at hand.Because the book is written in this modular method, it is easy to pick and choose the order in which you want to go through the book. You feel that you know how to "create a basic APEX application" but haven't created your own plug-in, then skip to the chapter on "APEX Plug-ins". It is not necessary to read the book in the order of the chapters, which I tend to do.Usually I read books before I go to sleep, and yes most of the time the are technical books. This book was no exception. Even though I work with APEX every day, sometimes it was hard to follow along with the different recipes. In my opinion this is not a shortcoming of the book, but the way I tend to read books. This book would be more suited to be used following the recipes while working in APEX.The recipes in the book follow a similar pattern as the official Oracle documentation. Each recipe starts with a section called "How to do it..." and provide a list of "do this", e.g. "1. Click on the Create Page button" or "6. Click on Create". This works out fine as long as the wizards don't change (which could happen with new releases of APEX). For the beginner this could be confusing if they work with a slightly different version of APEX. For the more experienced APEX developer this should be no problem, they would know the intended behaviour.Where this book is ahead of the way the official Oracle documentation is set up, is the explanation after the part "How to do it..." called "How it works...". In this section the concepts are explained of what you just created (if you follow along which I obviously didn't).At first when I started reading the book, I tend to start with the first chapter and work my way through to the end, I was under the impression that the intended audience was the beginning APEX developer. But as the book progressed, I ran into topics which I hardly ever (or never at all) have touched and picked up some good hints and tips. I'm sure that I will get the text handy when I need to, for instance, translate an application or work with websheets. The question then arises: if I haven't used these features before - would I need them in the future?All in all, I like the book and would surely recommend it - for all APEX developers and especially for beginning APEX developers.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Recently the second edition of the APEX Cookbook has seen the light. As I haven't read the first edition - I know, shame on me - I can't exactly point out what the differences are, but that doesn't really matter anyway. I guess no one will buy both versions anyway…[ I didn't because I received an ecopy for review ]The book follows a different approach than most of the tech books I read (and wrote): Every issue is attacked with a recipe, existing of these steps:1. Getting ready : Buy the groceries, get the pots and pans; or in APEX terms, do the necessary preparation like create a page or download a JavaScript file.2. How to do it … : A step-by-step walk through to create the solution.3. How it works … : A, usually short, explanation of the new or remarkable things you've just done when following the steps in the previous paragraph.So if you don't like this approach, you can skip te book - and the rest of the review as well. In my opinion, it might work when you're looking to solve a specific problem - like including Google Maps in your application - but it doesn't quite read as a novel. There's no building up in complexity or an increase of tension in the book. It makes it somewhat "dry"…But, as I said, if you're looking for a step-by-step approaches of a lot of totally different problems: this is your book of choice! It's written well, the steps are easy to follow and the code samples are all downloadable.One thing that's really stands out because it isn't covered in a lot of books (if at all), is Websheets. There's a complete chapter in this one covering all necessary information. There are also chapters on plugins and mobile, but of course these can't compete with the whole books that are written on these subjects. But if you just want to get to first base, it's excellent.In general the book is aimed at beginner to intermediate developers. And even (more) experienced ones might find something useful, like a different approach to a problem, in this book.So a four star rating (out of five) rom my side
A cool book for learning Oracle APEX

About Me DBA, Developer, Educator, Sys Admin
Examples in a book are very useful. Readers can follow each topic (example) and practice it. A book is for some people who are new with Oracle APEX and want to start it. For some people who know and work with Oracle APEX, they can use this book like reference and learn something new in APEX. So, I think it's a good idea to keep this book in your APEX shelf. I still believe a book is easy for reading... and learning in APEX.

As the world's population continues to grow, so does the importance of sustainable buildings. Sustainable building materials, therefore, must be affordable and available for use in these structures.
Recently, researchers at the University of Missouri-Rolla investigated the potential for using an unusual alternative construction material in manufacturing masonry units for non-load bearing applications. Their goal was to develop products for infill wall systems, a practice common throughout the world.
These sustainable masonry units would perform similarly to standard masonry products. They would look about the same, and they'd be lighter. But the real difference is producers would manufacture them using alternative materials, including wood fiber and fly ash.
We studied a series of mix designs to better understand the optimal levels of wood fiber and fly ash content that would meet target strengths for the product. We also measured the change in the compressive strength when we added various amounts of portland cement to predict the strength of the material with and without cement. We also investigated the effect of variation in fly ash chemistry on compressive strength development.
It was a complex task, as we studied 36 mix proportions. We tried mix designs with varying degrees of fly ash, cement, and wood fiber content. We tested specimens for compressive strength at 14, 28, and 56 days. Their stress-strain behavior was also investigated, as well as other properties such as shrinkage, freeze-thaw resistance, fiber moisture condition, and fiber length.
An untapped filler
Our goal was to investigate the potential for using green timber material, commonly called wood fiber raw material in the manufacturing of masonry units. Wood fiber is a plentiful, renewable product. Unfortunately, only a small portion is often recovered for recycling or composting while the remainder is often sent to combustion facilities or landfills.
This waste fiber has tremendous potential as a high value constituent to manufacture building products. Also, their lightweight, toughness, ease of use (especially nailing connection capability), and excellent insulating properties makes them unique. We thought these properties would make the fibers a good product for infill wall applications.
Infill walls composed of infill blocks are considered non-structural elements of a building. Usually, the walls fill in between concrete or steel primary supporting elements in a building system. Infills walls are often covered with a finishing material, such as drywall or stucco.
Using a wood fiber fly ash (WFFA)-based composite system in these wall systems is promising for several reasons. Some advantages of this material are apparent, such as the material availability and low cost. This blend provides an end use for the mass recycling of fly ash and wood fibers. It is environmental friendly and does not require the same energy consumption of a kiln to produce it, as is the case with clay masonry.
Excellent ductility
The material has demonstrated excellent sound resistance, fire resistance, and insulation properties. It can be mechanically fastened by screwing (as needed) and cut easier than traditional concrete and masonry products. The material has outstanding impact and ballistic resistance, making it an attractive infill wall or wall panel application. It also has excellent damping and ductility characteristics.
The purpose for this study was to determine if wood fiber properties have an effect on material properties, in particular compressive strength, and to recommend a course of action to better define these effects. We studied the effect of several parameters, such as curing conditions, fiber length, bark content, and moisture content, on the compressive strength development of the masonry units.

Without return on investment (ROI) calculations for the software inspections process, you cannot know the true benefit of those inspections. In this article, Ed Weller makes some assumptions about the cost of inspections and tries to estimate the savings from reduced test cost. He also provides a spreadsheet for doing "what-if" analysis of different savings based on inspection effectiveness, and how much defect removal in test might cost.
As we near the thirtieth anniversary of the development of the inspection process by Michael Fagan at IBM, I continue to be amazed at the number of software development organizations that do not use this powerful method to improve quality and productivity.
I recently had a discussion with someone about Return on Investment (ROI) for the process. He said they did not do ROI calculations, as they knew they were getting a good benefit from requirements and design inspections. He then said, "We do not do code inspection as they take too much time." In the absence of any ROI calculations, how would he know?
Let's take a look at this situation and explore some relatively easy ways to evaluate either potential or actual benefits from inspections. It really does not take a large amount of data, and the cost to do the analysis is minimal. For the potential benefit, we will make some assumptions about the cost of inspections and try to estimate the savings from reduced test cost. I'll also provide a spreadsheet for doing "what-if" analysis of various different savings based on inspection effectiveness, and how much defect removal in test might cost.
The inspection process itself will not be explained in any detail, as it has been explained in many books and publications (see a short list at the end of the article).
The savings can be calculated as follows:
Savings = (Original Test Cost) - (New Test Cost) - (Cost of Inspection)
How each of these is derived is shown below.
Inspection Cost
If you are not already performing inspections and therefore do not have your own data, the following rules of thumb can be used:
One thousand lines of source code will take about 50 hours of effort for a four-person team at the recommended preparation and inspection rates of 150 lines per hour. (The number is actually 53, but rounding to 50 makes the analysis easier.)
A 35-page design or requirements document will take about 50 hours of effort for a five-person team at the recommended rate of seven pages per hour for preparation and inspection.
We will use these numbers as baselines for ROI calculations. In addition, there is the defect rework cost for the defects found in the inspections.

Gun Owners Refuse to Register Under New York Law
After Democrats in New York rammed a sweeping assault on the right to keep and bear arms through the legislature that failed to exempt police officers from the draconian restrictions, gun owners and even some lawmakers are planning what has been dubbed potentially the largest act of civil disobedience in state history. According to news reports, gun rights activists are urging everyone to defy far-left Governor Andrew Cuomos new registration mandate while daring authorities to come and take it.
Analysts say the legislation, passed in a frenzy last week in the wake of the Newtown shooting, represents the most brazen infringement on the right to keep and bear arms anywhere in the nation. Among other points, the so-called SAFE Act seeks to limit magazines to just seven bullets, require virtually all of the estimated one million semi-automatic rifles in the state to be registered with authorities, mandate reporting of patients who express indications that they may have thoughts about hurting themselves or others by doctors, and more.
Aside from being unconstitutional, experts on gun violence also point out that the draconian schemes are a bad idea: Studies have repeatedly shown that more guns lead to less crime, and the phenomenon is obvious across America just compare Chicago or D.C. to Alaska or Wyoming. The mandated reporting requirements for doctors, meanwhile, have come under fire from across the political spectrum. Whether it will even be possible to enforce the bill, however, remains to be seen.
Preparations are already being made for mass resistance. Ive heard from hundreds of people that theyre prepared to defy the law, and that number will be magnified by the thousands, by the tens of thousands, when the registration deadline comes, said President Brian Olesen with American Shooters Supply, among the biggest gun dealers in the state, in an interview with the New York Post.
Even government officials admit that forcing New Yorkers to register their guns will be a tough sell, and they are apparently aware that massive non-compliance will be the order of the day. Many of these assault-rifle owners arent going to register; we realize that, a source in the Cuomo administration told the Post, adding that officials expect widespread violations of the new statute.
Threats of imprisoning gun owners for up to a year and confiscating their weapons are already being issued by governors office, headed by a rabid anti-Second Amendment extremist who suggested before the bill passed that confiscation of all semi-automatic rifles was being considered. If tens or even hundreds of thousands of otherwise law-abiding citizens refuse to comply, however, analysts say New York would either have to start raising taxes and building a lot more prisons, or give up on the scheme that experts say will do nothing to reduce violence and that lawmakers say is aimed at eventual confiscation.
Activists involved in the state-wide boycott against the unconstitutional statute who spoke to the Post almost taunted authorities, saying gun owners would essentially dare authorities to come and take it away. According to the paper, leaders of some of the states hundreds of gun clubs, dealers, and non-profit organizations, citing the New York Constitutions guarantee that gun rights cannot be infringed, are currently involved in organizing the resistance. Among the primary concerns is that, with registration, authorities would know where to go for confiscation, an idea already proposed openly by Governor Cuomo himself.
Theyre saying, F--- the governor! F--- Cuomo! Were not going to register our guns, and I think theyre serious. People are not going to do it. People are going to resist, explained State Rifle and Pistol Association President Tom King, who also serves on the National Rifle Association board of directors. Theyre taking one of our guaranteed civil rights, and theyre taking it away.
The NRA itself, while saying that it did not participate in organizing resistance to the law, admitted that it was not surprised by the open defiance among gun owners. I will say this: Historic experience here and in Canada shows that when you try to force gun owners into a registration and licensing system, theres usually mass opposition and mass noncompliance, NRA President David Keene told the Post. I think its going to be very difficult for the governor to get mass compliance with this new law.
Throughout the short discussion on the bill, GOP legislators warned about the prospect of resistance potentially resulting in violence. Indeed, even some lawmakers have already promised to defy the new unconstitutional statute. Republican state Assemblyman Steve Katz, for example, told his colleagues during the debate that the legislations attempt to re-define semi-automatic rifles as banned assault weapons creates a new class of criminals overnight. However, he also mentioned that he had no intention of complying with the arbitrary seven-bullet maximum demanded under the legislation.
I leave my wife and three young daughters home alone for days at a time to represent my constituents here, Katz said on the floor of the Assembly. After what happened to the young mother in Loganville, Georgia who defended her two young children against an intruder, this bill will turn me into a criminal because you can bet that before I leave to do the peoples work, there will be more than seven bullets in the magazine of my wifes firearm.
He concluded his plea for respecting gun rights with some quotes about the reason for the Second Amendment and New York states even more overt prohibition on infringements. The first one he read came from George Washington: A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.
As in the rest of the United States, law enforcement has also been speaking out about infringements on the right to keep and bear arms especially after the SAFE Act was rammed through so hastily that, according to analysts, "oops," police officers are now in violation of the law too. New York sheriffs have become outspoken about the rights of citizens, as well, expressing serious concerns about violations of unalienable rights contained in the new state statute.
"This law has some issues pertaining to the Second Amendment," explained Putnam County Sheriff Donald Smith, one of many to express reservations about the new rules. "I'm deeply concerned in haste to pass the law, they may have missed the point on some of the mental health issues and are dealing with some ammunition and gun issues and law-enforcement issues."
Steuben County Sheriff David Cole, meanwhile, released a statement backed by the local police union criticizing the highly controversial statute as well. "These laws will now make it so thousands and thousands of law-abiding citizens, who go to work, pay their taxes, and [are] concerned about their children's future, will now be considered criminals if they choose to stand up for the Second Amendment rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution," Sheriff Cole noted, echoing widespread concerns being heard throughout the state.
Ironically, even some anti-gun extremists who openly support lawlessly infringing on unalienable rights have criticized the legislation. The ultra-far-left Center for American Progress, funded by billionaire statist George Soros, for example, complained about the provisions purporting to obligate doctors to report their patients to authorities if they express violent or suicidal thoughts all in violation of the traditional doctor-patient confidentiality relationship.
Doctors belittled the provision, too, noting that it could discourage people who otherwise would seek help from talking to healthcare providers out of fear that the police could show up at their door and confiscate their weapons. "The people who arguably most need to be in treatment and most need to feel free to talk about these disturbing impulses, may be the ones we make least likely to do so," Dr. Paul Appelbaum at Columbia University told the Associated Press. Critics say the provision will turn New York into a "psychiatric police state."
Meanwhile, at the national level, some Democrat lawmakers and President Obama are seeking draconian new gun bans and a wide array of other infringements on the right to keep and bear arms. State governments and sheriffs nationwide, however, are speaking out, working to nullify any assault on gun rights, and if needed, arrest federal officials trying to enforce unconstitutional rules. With the amount of resistance already expressing itself in New York, analysts say attempting similar schemes at the federal level would be literally insane. Still, that does not mean it will not be attempted.

Tiffany Clay
Feb. 26, 2005
ATHENS, Ga.-- Sophomore swimmer Tiffany Clay posted two NCAA provisional qualifying marks on Saturday at the Bulldog Invite in Athens, Ga. Thanks to the effort, she will be able to compete at the NCAA Championships March 17-20 in the 100 and 200y breaststroke. She will also swim with the 200y medley relay squad, which posted a very fast "B" marker at the Southeastern Conference Championships.
"I knew that she had the ability to do this," head coach Dan Colella said. "It was unfortunate she got hurt last weekend prior to the breaststroke events, but we knew she could do this today. It's a great thrill and now we are looking forward to focusing the next three weeks on the NCAA Championships.
Clay blazed to times of 1:03.41 and 2:15.96, in the 100 and 200y breaststroke, respectively. Both final markers are career bests. Jacque Fessel (Cincinnati, Ohio), Julia Stowers (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Megan Tomes (Cincinnati, Ohio) all have NCAA automatic qualifying marks, while Christine Magnuson (Tinley Park, Ill.) was a member of that 200y medley relay squad.
The NCAA Championships are set for March 17-20 in West Lafayette, Ind.

HOME PAGE the above pictures are my father, George William Diefenbach (a World War II Veteran) in uniform and as a boy, and my grandfather, Noah Seals (a Civil War Veteran) holding his daughter (my mother) Georgia Seals.
My name is Doretha Darlene Diefenbach- Hines. I am the daughter of George & Georgia (Seals) Diefenbach, wife of Kevin Alan Hines.
I became interested in Genealogy in 1988 when my mother died. I knew little of her family background and I was not sure who to notify of her death. That was the beginning and as you can see I am still researching and probably will continue until my demise.
Before my involvement in Genealogy, I didn't focus on where I came from, the sacrifices, or the fears, tears and hardships of my ancestors; today & the future was my primary concern. History is more meaningful now when I read the stories of my ancestors, unlike stories of strangers. I realize now the extent of comfort, luxury and security in which we live is due to the sacrifices of our ancestors. They dealt with numerous obstacles, from persecution for religious beliefs, leaving their homelands and families, and crossing the ocean with few belongings to foreign lands, while other ancestors had their homelands taken from them.
Faith in God allowed them to endure this and more for freedom and to better the quality of life for their immediate family and for future generations.
It is up to us to continue what they started. We must remain strong in spirit through the many trials of life. Teach your children discipline, hard work and sacrifice as they are the key to the future of your family.
We are living in the greatest country in the world. A country built on our ancestor's faith in GOD. For their strength, courage and love of family, I thank them.

>Health and Nutrition>Early Fall colds and race-week training?
Princess Cancer Pants
• Chemo

• Return to kicking my own ass by 2018
How do you seasoned runners deal with a cold right before a race? I figure if I do have a mild-to-moderate cold that it will hit full-force by tomorrow or Tues. and I might feel better by Thurs. My race is on Sat. and I had planned to run Mon. through Weds. and mostly take the rest of the week off before the race. How likely is taking the entire week off in the event of a cold going to have much effect on my race performance? I would think that taking it easier with a cold would be preferable than overdoing it and still being ill for the race...right?
Good luck! Hope this is a false alarm and you feel better soon!
just this past week it did a complete 180 (we went from temps in the mid 80s to temps in the low 60s literally overnight).
same here.. it's cold and has been raining non-stop all day. I'm still debating if i'm going to run tonight.
