Pepsi-Flavored Cheetos Now Exist
(NEWSER) – Pepsi and Cheetos: a match made in snack-food heaven. But what about Pepsi-flavored Cheetos? If that seems like what you'd expect from a country salivating over breakfast waffles, we have some bad news for you: The Frito-Lay flavor does indeed exist as of last month ... in Japan. And the Los Angeles Times got this Cheetos-crushing reply from a PepsiCo rep about the prospect of the flavor hitting US shelves: "The answer is no."

The law written in the heart
Psalm 119 is in general the law written in the heart. This gives it an important place in the series of psalms. It is found distinctly connected too with Israel's sorrows in the last days and their previous departure from God. The different divisions of the psalm show, I think, each a different phase of the exercises of heart connected with the law being written on it, though the general principle runs of course through it. I will very briefly notice the main bearing of each.
The blessedness of the walk with God
The first part presents to us naturally the great general principle. It is the third general "Blessed is the man" the return of the soul in trial and distress to the great truth of Psalm 1, where the effect is seen under the immediate government of God. Psalm 32 gives the blessedness of forgiveness; this, of the walk with God on the return of the wanderer in spite of all difficulties and contempt. We have indeed another special blessing at the end of the first book, where Christ is so fully brought in. In the last psalm of that book he is pronounced blessed who understands His position, be it in Himself or in those who walk in His footsteps; for the first psalm supposed blessedness under the government of God, making good all His will towards the just, and the reverse seemed to be true. In fact, as we know, to man's eye this wholly failed (bringing in a heavenly and divine righteousness and redemption). Hence true blessedness was shown in discerning, in understanding, the position in which that true blessed One was as rejected by men that true poor man taking Himself practically the place He describes as blessed, as we have seen in the sermon on the mount, while the great truth of the law in the heart is laid down. Yet the circumstances also come out in this first part "forsake me not utterly."
Cleansing by the word
Secondly the word associates with God. Not only is one blessed who keeps it, but it is cleansing: the desire of the heart is positively fixed on it (see the connection of Jehovah and His word, v. 10, 11).
Divine mercy in trial connected with the law in the heart
In the third part we find very distinctly the leaning on divine mercy in trial, connected with the law in the heart. The godly Israelite looks to Jehovah's bountiful dealing, but with a view to hearty obedience (v. 17). Verse 19 shows his state; verse 21, as we have seen in all this book, Jehovah's intervention, already known in deliverance, though not in complete blessing; verses 22, 23, the contempt the poor remnant undergo. Jehovah's law had been his delight and comfort under it.
Inward trial; divine relief according to the word
In the fourth part the trial is more inward. His soul is cleaving to the dust, but he looks to divine relief according to the word. His desire looks to the effect of that living water from God. He has been open before God has declared his own ways: so it ever is. He desires all way of evil to be removed by God from him. He has held fast by the word looks that God should not put him to shame. But he is looking for enlargement of heart, that he may run freely in God's ways. Such is the sure effect when under the discipline of God. A soul who has found delight in His will and holiness is yet looking to run in liberty. Though in the heart, the word here referred to is more of an outwardly expressed will, like Zacharias and Elizabeth, a beautiful moral expression of the remnant. With the Christian it will be more absolute and inward, more holiness than testimonies (though it may begin by them perhaps), whether in his first divine calling or under discipline. It is for him walking in the light as God is in the light not the "ordinances and commandments of Jehovah." Yet it is in principle essentially the same. To apply this psalm directly is to lower the divine standard of thought for the saint now. But the nature of the moral exercise may be most instructively used; just as subjection and confidence in trial is always right, though the forms of it in the Jew are wholly below the Christian's (compare with this Philippians, where we have christian experience).
Divine guidance, teaching, courage and comfort -- all from the word
The fifth part looks for divine guidance and teaching in the ways and law of God; the sixth, for manifest mercies in that path, that he may have courage before adversaries and hold fast the law of God. In the seventh, having been quickened by the word, he reckons on it, for God had caused him to trust it as His; so that now he leans on all its assurances. In troubles, when there was no outward cheering of nature, it sustained his heart. This brings him to the eighth. Jehovah was thus his portion. He had sought Him, judged himself, turned his feet to Jehovah's testimonies. He reckoned on Him, and would thank Him in the secret watches of the night, when his heart was left to itself. He was the companion of those that feared Jehovah. This brightens up his thoughts, and he sees His power in mercy around. This is a beautiful picture of the working of the heart.
God's will sought
The ninth brings out the circumstances of the psalm. In the comfort of the last part he can look with God's eye and mind at these circumstances. These are much before our view (that is, feelings about them) in this part of the psalm. Jehovah has already dealt well with him according to His word, and he looks for divine teaching to understand the mind of God well. He had been under discipline: but before this he had gone astray, but now had got into the spirit and path of obedience. He sees the proud lying against him, and their heart fat as grease (no link in state or obedience with Jehovah); and sees how good it was to have been afflicted, that he might learn Jehovah's statutes. Nothing marks more the setting right of the soul than this the turning to Jehovah's will "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" and counting all good that leads to this, and gives God's will as authority, and morally its place in the heart.
The creature's hope in the Creator's word
The tenth part has two main thoughts. Jehovah is his Creator has formed him. He looks to Him to guide His own poor creature as a faithful Creator. Those that fear Jehovah will be glad when they see Him, because they hope in His word. Secondly, he knows that thus in very faithfulness He has caused him to be afflicted, and now looks for mercies to come unto him, and the proud to be ashamed, and that those that fear Jehovah may turn to him. All this is linked with soundness in Jehovah's statutes.
The cry for deliverance because of walking in Jehovah's precepts
In the eleventh the cry becomes more urgent. He is under the pressure of trial, his soul fainting for deliverance looking for Jehovah to execute judgment, for he is walking in Jehovah's precepts. And the proud persecute him wrongfully they heed not Jehovah nor His law.
The abiding faithfulness of God
But, twelfth, creation is a witness to the abiding faithfulness of God; His word is settled in heaven, where nothing can reach or shake it. But for Jehovah's law, which sustained his heart, he had perished in the pressure of affliction. In truth, how precious to have the word in such a world! We have more than commandments. But we can say, I have seen an end of all perfection. Another and more confident thought grows up out of all this exercise "I am thine."
The psalmist's delight in the guidance, comfort, sustenance, and value of the word
In the thirteenth he expresses his own internal delight in Jehovah's law, and its effect in spiritual intelligence.
In the fourteenth it guides his path. Afflicted and oppressed, he looks for comfort to Him whose judgments he has taken as his path in spite of enemies and their snares.
The fifteenth gives the horror of vain thoughts, and looking to God as his hiding-place, with his rejection of evildoers. He looks to Jehovah to uphold him, that he may not be ashamed in his hope; and looks with solemn trembling on the sure judgment of the wicked.
In the sixteenth he presses more earnestly the interference of Jehovah in deliverance. The way in which the wicked have made void Jehovah's law only makes him cling the closer to it. It was time for Jehovah to work.
The effects of strong attachment to Jehovah's law and testimonies
The following parts all bring out the effects of his strong attachment to Jehovah's law and testimonies, its value in every aspect for his heart; the trial he was in still in this path of righteousness; and how he would walk in Jehovah's ways when set free; his grief at transgressors. He looks for teaching, quickening, keeping; and recalls the everlasting character of God's testimonies; so that he held fast, though oppressed by the wicked.
Israel's moral state in the last days
The last part is more general as a closing one, though in the same spirit. It sums up, so to speak, the whole. It desires that the cry of the oppressed delighter in the law may come up before Jehovah; asks for understanding according to His word for deliverance according to it; and assures praise when taught His statutes. His tongue will speak of His word. He has the sense of their righteousness looks for the hand of Jehovah to help, because he has chosen His precepts. Jehovah's salvation has been longed for (man not trusted in). Jehovah's law has been his delight, not his own will, nor the prosperous man's ways. He looks for life, that he may praise, and that Jehovah's judgment may help him; for the power of death and evil was before him. He owns finally his having gone astray, and looks for Jehovah as the Shepherd of Israel to seek him, for he has not forgotten His commandments. Such is the moral state of Israel in the last days when (in their land, I apprehend) the law is written in their heart, but full deliverance and final blessing are not come. The psalm is, in fact, the moral development of the hearts of those that fear God in the circumstances prophetically brought out in Psalm 118.Synopsis by John Darby

By David Krueger Herald Writer
A captain of the Archbishop Murphy golf team, Goldfinch is what Wildcats head coach Jack Serwold called "a very fine golfer and an even finer person. He's my No. 1 role model. He's just a great kid. He works with everybody and tries to improve everybody's game, as well as his own." Goldfinch continued his strong junior campaign this weekend, finishing in a tie for 33rd in the Egber's Invitational this past weekend. The Herald talked to him about golf, his family business, robots and if he's ever going to have time to see "Iron Man 3."
Q: How's the golf season going?
A: It's been pretty good. It's kind of my first year where I'm starting to find my game finally, and I'm starting to pull some things together. It's a good team. We have a lot of good players out there. Everyone kind of pushes each other to get better. It's really fun.
Q: You've got a couple big postseason tournaments you're golfing in, can you talk about those a little bit? (Editor's note: this interview was last Thursday.)
A: Well Friday is the Egbers Invitational up at Skagit and that's against some of the best teams from 1A to 4A (classifications). So it's a pretty big tournament. I'm looking forward to it. I've played in it the last two years so I'm comfortable now playing in it. I'm feeling fairly confident going into it. Just have to play my own game and hit some good shots. There's a lot of good players out there.
Q: What's it like with some of the top golfers there? Are you nervous at all?
A: You can't get too ahead of yourself, that's for sure. We played a couple good matches, like the Dolan Invitational at Everett, and those were just as good of players as we're going to play (at the Egbers Invitational). We played Kamiak and Glacier Peak, which both have great teams. Kamiak won (the) 4A state (title) last year. I'm starting to get comfortable playing with good players. I actually really enjoy it. It pushes me to play better. I'm not too nervous anymore. I think my junior year the nerves are starting to go away, which is pretty nice.
Q: You have a golf-themed business right? What do you do there?
A: It's "Break It Golf". My dad and I started it and we're running it together. Basically, we put out a stand that holds glass and you can hit golf balls at it. It's more for like invitationals or tournaments. We do mostly charity work right now, with some invitationals.
Q: What spawned the idea for that business venture?
A: My dad runs a glass and glazing business, so a bunch of the guys from Everett (Golf and Country Club) said we should bring some windows up and we can hit it at the invitational. It's been a fun process, working on that a lot. It's kind of just for fun, in the spring when we have spare time. We mostly do charity events. We did the Frank Sinatra Open in Palm Springs at the start of the year and that was one of our big events which was really fun to do. Now that tournaments are picking up around here, we'll be more busy in Washington.
Q: What other activities and clubs are you involved in at Archbishop Murphy?
A: Right now our robotics season just kind of closed up. I was our business leader for the robotics team and I was really busy with that for a solid six weeks. I also work with Spanish Club. And then I went to a Guatemala learning experience that was a mission trip for a week in Guatemala.
Q: Wow. What was Guatemala like?
A: It was pretty surreal. You realize a lot of things that you might not really think about or see (back home in the U.S.). It was a totally different experience, a totally different world down there. It was a really good trip. Really worth going. I learned a lot from it.
Q: Did you build anything cool in the robotics club?
A: Yeah. This year our task was to build a robot that could shoot a Frisbee and play in a game of ultimate Frisbee. We were pretty successful. We competed in the Seattle regional and took ninth out of 67 teams I believe. It was a fun time. It's a lot of work. There were some late nights working to build the robot and finish it. I didn't really do too much of the building, I did more of the financial part behind it. Making sure everything gets funded. That was my job.
Q: Do you have any fun plans for summer break?
A: The plans are just play golf. Play some tournaments. Hopefully play well. Also the Humpy Run is coming up for fishing so that'll be a big part of my summer. And I'm moving into Everett. We're building a house there so that'll take up lots of my summer.
Q: So you've got lots going on then. Will you have time to see "Iron Man 3?"
A: Maybe. I don't know. I've got Egbers Friday, the SAT on Saturday and then Sunday I'm hoping to play a practice round at Snohomish before our league match Monday. That might have to be next weekend.
Q: Between school, golf, building a robot and your business do you have any free time at all to relax?
A: Right when I get home from golf is about it. It's pretty busy right now since golf season is wrapping up and we have a lot of tournaments. I just have to balance my school work and golf and get some sleep in the spare time I guess.
Q: Anything else you want to add?
A: I just want to say thank you to my coach and my dad and all the guys on the team out there, especially Ben Thacker, Brian Lucas, Quinn Stanley, Luke Bolles for pushing me this year. There's some tough competition on the team with me. So I just want to say thank you to the people around me. And everyone, especially up at Everett Golf and Country Club for their support.

Tornados Rally Falls ShortMarch 21, 2014
HARROGATE, Tenn.- The Brevard College baseball team scored five times in the 6th and once more in the 7th inning to make it a three-run game, but Lincoln Memorial padded their lead with five runs in the bottom of the 7th en route to a 14-6 win over the Tornados in the series opener at Hennon Field on Friday evening.
Refusing to quit, BC scored six unanswered runs to cut a 9-0 deficit to 9-6 heading into the bottom of the 7th. The Tornados finally got to LMU starter Logan Sawyer (W, 6-2) in the 6th for five runs.
Matthew Proffitt hit a solo shot to start things off, and Brock Helton cracked a three-run homer following a Hunter Donaldson RBI single as Brevard closed the gap to 9-5. BC added another run in the 7th on Chip Helton's RBI single to left center.
The Railsplitters halted BC's scoring streak in their half of the 7th with a five spot against lefty Kyle Pittman, effectively putting the game out of reach for BC.
The Railsplitters posted five runs in the in the 2nd inning against BC starter Kevin Hamilton (L, 2-1), although all five were unearned after a pair of BC errors. LMU added four more runs over the next two innings against Hamilton.
The righty was charged with nine runs over five innings, but only two were earned as a result of five errors by the Tornados.
The two will complete the series on Saturday with a doubleheader at Hennon Field beginning at 1 p.m.

but what i am trying to do is,,, reset the connection from the client its self instead of the server resetting the connection,,, so that another spoofed server can interact with the client (Victim)

text: Yesterday the internet was all abuzz at the possibility of Chelsea Handler replacing Craig Ferguson when his contract expires at the end of June. The buzz came from Chelsea herself who sent out a photo(above) with the CBS logo and the caption business meeting. According to The NY Post, CBS says the meeting was with their syndication group and that she is not a candidate to replace Ferguson. The interesting thing I took from that denial is that they didn't say Ferguson wasn't going to be replaced. They already owe him $5M for passing over him for the Late Show spot so maybe they want to pay that and then get rid of him. I think he should stay, but it wouldn't shock me if he was a little ticked off to not really even be considered and maybe he does want to leave. If he was staying you would expect a differently worded response than "There are no discussions with Chelsea Handler regarding the network's 12:30 late night broadcast; her meeting with CBS yesterday was a general meeting with our syndication group."

Over the course of its nearly 30-year career, members of the satirical intergalactic alien band GWAR have sacrificed fake animals onstage, written songs about sodomy, necrophilia, pedophilia and mutilation, and shot blood and other bodily fluids into the audience.
So naturally, the next step was to do something really crazy like make a signature barbecue sauce.
"GWAR-B-Q Sauce," which will be sold at the band's Utah show on Monday, was created to "pour on dead things and then ram them into that great, greasy pothole you call a mouth," explained lead singer Dave Brockie whose alter-ego is 43-billion-year-old Oderus Urungus from the planet Scumdogia.
The sauce is said to have been created by GWAR's rhythm guitarist, Balsac the Jaws of Death. Balsac joked that it is "mostly made out of the blood of really hot chicks." Of course, it is approved for human consumption.
In all seriousness, GWAR, who perform at The Complex, have moved forward since guitarist Cory Smoot, who had portrayed Flattus Maximus, died from heart disease in 2011. Brent Purgason, from the band Cannibal Corpse, has filled in portraying a new character, Pustolous Maximus.
Brockie, a Richmond, Virginia native, answered e-mail questions about the tour, the new member, and God.
What does Pustulous Maximus bring to the band?
Like any member of the Maximus clan, mostly he brings the gift of completely shredful guitar playing. But he is also loud, obnoxious, aggressive, smelly, violent, vain, boorish, cynical and sexually depraved. All of which makes him a wonderful addition to the band.
Wilson and Warbeast will be joining GWAR on the tour. Is there any tension between the two bands?
I can honestly say I have never even heard of them, so I think the answer is no. Actually, I heard they were really looking forward to touring with GWAR. What the hell is wrong with these people?
In the press material, it says that The Fate or Chaos Tour chronicles "GWAR's epic struggle with an angry God." Why is GWAR struggling with God?
It's more him struggling with us, despite what the press release says. We are perfectly happy to play our metal mayhem for the nice people.
Trent Reznor and Annie Lennox have beaten out GWAR for Grammy Awards. Do you want revenge?
They are welcome to them. As Groucho Marx once said, "I would never want to be part of a club that had me as a member."
When do you plan the follow-up to the "Bloody Pit of Horror" album to come out, and what do you imagine it will feature?
Our new album is out this fall, and is many things but first and foremost it is a tribute to our fallen Scumdog brother, Flattus Maximus. Members of the tribe came from all over the universe to lay down tracks in his honor. Flattus elevated GWAR's music to a whole new level, and we would be remiss in our duties if we didn't continue on in his name.

Poverty Simulation
Companions in Ignatian Service and Spirituality
Saturday, September 21, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (PDT)
Event Details
In collaboration, JustFaith and Ignatian Companions are hosting a Poverty Simulation experience for our program participants and friends of our organizations.
Please join us for an enlightening morning of action and conversation focusing on the reality of poverty and wealth within our Bay Area communities.
The Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS) is a unique tool that StepUp Silicon Valley's Campaign to Cut Poverty uses to educate everyone, community leaders, politicians, and average folks, about the day-to-day realities of life with a shortage of money and an abundance of stress.
During a simulation, participants role-play the lives of low-income families, from single parents trying to care for their children to senior citizens trying to maintain their self sufficiency on Social Security. The task of each family is to provide food, shelter and other basic necessities during the simulation while interacting with various community
resources staffed by low-income volunteers.
Although it uses "play" money and other props, fictional scenarios, and time limits, the Poverty Simulation is not a game. It is a learning tool that enables participants to view the real world of poverty leading to maximum understanding and future positive action. At the end of the simulation, we will compare everyone's experience to Santa Clara County statistics and issues, and discuss ways participants can advocate, donate and volunteer to make a real difference.

Hey all.
So I'm new, obviously, and I know I'm gonna be one of those annoying people who posts a million questions on their first post so I apologise in advance, please don't kill me!
I'm new to everything, to be honest, I was a windows user all my life until recently (semi) switching to Linux. I still have windows on my desktop but my laptop runs Ubuntu 7.10 now (was trying to get it to dual boot but yeah, apparently Ubuntu had other ideas and wiped my HD) so I am slowly getting used to it. I was reading about backtrack and decided to try some experiements on my home router (running 128bit WEP encryption) and have so far been unable to get anywhere near cracking it..
I have an old VIAO laptop and the wireless adapter is an ipw2100, according to iwconfig and, as far as I know, it does not support packet injection. This sucks, addmitadly, and (for realism) I have not been using my wireless network anymore than I normally would and have got nowhere near the required number of IVs to crack 128bit encryption. I can get like 1000, if I'm lucky, in a 24hr period but it's been as low as 100.. Pretty lame. So what is my question? Well, the same as everyone's, I guess:
Why are there so few IVs?
How can I get more without packet injection?
Is a --deauth attack the same as packet injection? (I.e. if my card doesnt inject, will it not --deauth either?)
If I were to upgrade my wireless card, which chipset is the best, atheros? Prism?
How hard is it to change a miniPCI card in a laptop? I'd rather not have a PCMCIA card sticking out..
Will USB adapters work? I read somewhere they don't.
That's about it for the wireless/cracking questions, but I do have another little story relating to backtrack that confuses me a bit, maybe someone could shed some light?
I tried to install backtrack onto a USB stick (2gb SanDisk Cruzer Micro) which I bought specially, I wanted to save my capture files and generally use it as a normal Linux distro so I followed the instructions and it didnt work. At all. It copied about 5mb of data onto my USB stick (using the backtrack installer from the live CD and /boot as the source) and that was it. Didn't work at all. That's fine, I deleted all the partitions to try again and now my 2gb stick is showing only as 50mb!!! No matter what I do, it ONLY shows up as 50mb (the first partition that the instructions made me make was 50mb) and I can't get my remaining memory back! I would still like it on a USB stick, ideally, but if that's not possible, I'd like my 2 gig back . Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance and sorry again for coming in and asking a million questions..

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- The second half of the
Lindsey Wilson College Class of 2013 was told Saturday that the
rest of their lives "is nothing but electives."
"You can elect how you spend the rest of your life," said
outgoing LWC Vice President for Administration and Finance Roger Drake. "You can elect to spend your life
in the service of others. You can elect to spend your life seeking
monetary gain. You can elect to spend it seeking fame. But you will
spend it -- time will march on -- and you need to understand now
that it is all an elective."
The liberal arts college awarded 226 graduate and undergraduate degrees at its
spring ceremony, LWC's 97th overall commencement ceremony, before
an overflow crowd of more than 3,000 people in Biggers Sports
Combined with the 381 degrees awarded in December at
winter commencement, this school year's 607 degrees make the Class
of 2013 the largest in LWC's 110-year history. The spring graduates
also included LWC's first baccalaureate nursing graduates, as 16
students received a bachelor of science degree in nursing.
To put the size of this year's graduating class in
perspective, LWC awarded a total of 445 degrees in 2011-12, and a
decade ago it awarded 151 degrees.
Drake noted that this year's LWC graduates have "seen a
tremendous amount of change at this college."
The students were on the tail end of a five-year, $39.6
million capital campaign that included two new science classroom
buildings, two residence halls, a 20-acre sports park, and a
health-and-wellness center.
"You were here during much of this construction and it
probably seemed to you as if these buildings just sprung up out of
the ground," Drake said. "Well, they didn't. This investment in
your college experience, and in your future, was made possible by
the generous gifts of students that came before you -- students
whose lives were touched and enhanced by this special place.
"In many cases, these buildings were made possible by the
generosity of folks that never attended here -- but they heard
about your stories -- they heard about your challenges. They heard
that all of you came here to learn, and grow so that you can make a
difference in the world. These special people whose names you see
on these beautiful buildings didn't only make large gifts -- they
made significant investments in your futures."
Drake, who is president-elect of Central
Methodist (Mo.) University, received an honorary doctorate from
the college. Also receiving an honorary doctorate was Carol Marra
of Louisville, Ky., a longtime educator and 26-year member of the
LWC Board of Trustees.

Best friend miscarried
How do I comfort a close friend who has recently miscarried. She announced the pregnancy early on, and then when we didn't hear anymore about it, I asked her how it was going and she said she miscarried. She didn't want to talk about it and said she was just going to keep trying. I want to be there for her and comfort her, but is it best not to bring it up? How can I let her know that I'm there for her, without bringing up her pain?

How long should string last?
My first question, since I have actually taken a few hundred shots;how many shots,or length of time shouls string and cables last? Also;how often should wax be applied to the string? Thanks in advance for any advice.
Hi stevepro65, Target shooters change strings every year or 2 and sometimes more. Hunters replace theirs every 3 to 4 if not shot as a target bow. As for waxing, wax when the string looks fuzzy.

Thanks Hutch!
I guess I've got a little time before I have to worry then.Got into this on an entry level budget and I'm quickly realizing it will be as expensive as any other addictive sport.
I typically wax my string after every time I shoot. Some say this is a little excessive, but with over 4,800 arrows on one of them that was put on in 2008 and still going strong, I am a firm believer in waxing. I have found that it helps prevent water and other damaging particles from hurting it. Just MO, but as string will last a long time if taken care of properly. Good shooting!

response 2 strings and waxing
Hi, I know this is old now but I also shoot every day and I wax every other day, when I wax I wax it like its never been done. you can use your fingers but I use a piece of soft leather after I've waxed strings and cables, I really rub it in there so leather is very warm.The perpose is 2 warm wax so it penetrates the entire string,not just the surface. 1 time a month I wax heavily & use a hair dryer on medium and slowly watch wax melt into strings and cables just keep it moving slowly. Most strings if taken care of properly last up to 4 to 5 plus thousand shots,and I have had some go for 10 years but I do every wax job excessively. never leave bow in hot truck or car, it destroys strings rapidly, if you have no option keep it covered up or in case. A quick and easy way to see if you bow is shooting properly check your axel to axel every week with a tape measure 1or2 times . My ata is 34" if its 34 1/8" or 33 7/8" I need to press bow or bring to shop & get it back to 34" spec by either adding twist to the string or untwisting string, or adding twist 2 cables or untwisting cables,but you can mess it up easily at this point so be slow & steady. good luck and have fun!

I shoot almost daily, putting about 10,000 shots a year through my bows. I take decent care of my equipment and wax my strings (custom made) when they need it. That usually means about 4 times a YEAR. Between waxings I find that when a string shows signs of fuzzing there is usually enough wax in the string that a brisk rubbing between thumb and fore finger is enough heat to bring some of the wax to the surface.
Actually there are products made to clean the string and remove old wax to some degree and I consider this more important than just adding wax till it's caked on the surface. If your string gets to feeling sticky chances are that there's too much wax on it which will just attract and hold onto dirt or other grit which is the main culprit leading to string wear.
Wax needs to be rubbed into and between the strands. Wax just on the surface isn't going to do what it's intended to do. Part of that is lubricating the strands so that they do not abrade each other. Wax rubbed into and between the strands is enough to keep water out.
A good way to remove excess wax is, once it's all rubbed in (burnished), wrap a couple loops of dental floss around the string and pull the tag ends from end serving to center serving. Might even do this a couple times and then rub it again to smooth things out.
Well made strings should last several years if done this way.Martin/Rytera Silver Star Shooter

Young Lung Transplant Patient Home In Pennsylvania
(Philadelphia, PA) -- A young lung transplant patient is home in Pennsylvania after two surgeries. Sarah Murnaghan received national attention for her fight to get those transplants to treat her cystic fibrosis. The surgeries were part of a legal battle which was launched because she was originally denied due to being under the age of 12 which is required under federal rules. She received her first transplant in mid-June, but she had complications and needed a second one several days later. Then she caught pneumonia, but she's past that now.

In the last few years, innovative technologies such as self-consolidating concrete, quick form changes, and effective lifting devices have sped up most precast operations. When producers combine these innovations with more sophisticated computer-assisted drawing, they find themselves with a just-in-time (JIT) production model.
The automotive industry first developed JIT to be responsive to customer orders, and to the delight of their accountants, as an effective tool in reducing inventory. The backbone of a streamlined JIT product delivery system is efficient inventory control.
Trying to track the hundreds, if not thousands, of items precasters produce each year has been troubling. While most producers generally offer several main product types, each job order comes with several customer-specific requests. Usually, producers merely paint the job order number on each piece produced and track the part's movement from stockyard to delivery with a physical count.
Fortunately, there's now a better way to track inventory of their products. Introduced at last year's Manufactured Concrete Products Exposition (MCPX), the Concrete Tracking System (CTS) is a proven and reliable management tool.
The system has been used in industries that share the problems posed by multiple orders and part variations. But what makes CTS unique is the investment the staff at Data Collection Specialists Inc., the Conroe, Texas, manufacturer, has made to customize it for the concrete industry.
The key is a weather-resistant barcode label. Demolding crews affix the rugged label to each element after stripping. This information is customized for each producer and contains a unique identification number for each element. The producer usually lists the project name, delivery address, and drawing number.
Data tracking
Interfacing with a producer's accounting system is easy. This unique number can also be linked to the mix number, purchase order number, and other important links in the process. It tracks data such as quality control requirements, mix formulas and amounts, and product repair.
In practice, the CTS inventory system replaces the traditional paint and clipboard approach to product tracking. Stockyard attendants scan the labels of elements moved from the production floor to the stockyard using a rugged version of a hand-held device similar to those used in supermarkets. The inventory data is wirelessly transmitted to the CTS database via a wireless LAN network.
Before shipping, the customer service manager can create a pick list using this product number. When the product is shipped, the loading operator scans the label, verifying it's the correct item and that it corresponds to the delivery ticket.
The handheld mobile computer screen displays each item scanned and validates that it belongs on the load being shipped.
Weights of each product are also calculated as the truck is being loaded, eliminating overload issues. It creates a shipping document with the required information printed near the shipping area. Some precast producers use the shipping document as the trigger for billing, confirming it with the signed delivery receipt.
CTS adapts to producers' needs. For example, one producer in the Northwest used it to track the delivery of precast tunnel segments. Each segment was made up of eight individual castings. The system tracked not only each segment, but also each individual subset. This was helpful at the jobsite for staging product in the correct order.
The reports the system generates are even more useful. Managers can track daily inventory levels. Sales staff can track progress of projects. QC personnel can obtain information for a DOT and other project requirements. And accounting can provide the value of work-in-progress to their customers, all in real time.

Samsung CEO to Call Apple's Cook for One Last Settlement Chance
Jason Mick
August 20, 2012 4:11 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
A trial could deeply hurt the pair's relationship, regardless of the outcome
Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd.'s (
) and Apple, Inc. (
) will have one final talk before they take their case before a federal court jury in the United States, in
a war that could limit U.S. consumer selection
or grant artificial dominance in the smartphone market.
I. A Bitter Battle
As the
world's largest display manufacturer
and a top maker of DRAM, NAND, and mobile CPUs, Samsung is vitally important to Apple. Samsung makes the system-on-a-chip (SoC) brains
inside every iPad and iPhone
Yet in 2010, growing competition between the pair in the tablet and smartphone space prompted late Apple CEO Steve Jobs to
accuse Samsung
of "slavishly copying" his company's devices, filing suit in
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
. Samsung
hit back
shortly thereafter, and the war was on.
The court battle has been fierce.
Judge Koh has admonished both sides in the case, at times. [Image Source: IB Times]
Judge Lucy Koh
admonished Apple's lawyers
for belligerent filings, while earlier chastising Samsung from
destroying potential evidence
The case currently dangles in the realm of subjectivity.
While emails and internal documents demonstrate that Samsung was indeed
looking to imitate traits
of Apple's highly successful star tablet/smartphone, Apple was
shown to borrow ideas
for those devices from Samsung, Sony Corp. (
), and other players who predated its market entry.
There are some visual similarities between Samsung's original Galaxy S smartphone and the iPhone -- likewise for iPad and Galaxy Tab. There are also noticeable differences.
At the end of the day much of Apple's design claims boil down to its assertion that it
"owns" exclusive rights to produce rectangular tablets/smartphones
with rounded edges. Apple claims that
some tablets/smartphones
may be sufficiently different from the iPad/iPhone to escape design infringement, but its design experts have
struggled to quantify
discrete details of how Samsung and others can escape design infringement.
II. One Last Effort at Peace
Amidst this backdrop Samsung CEO Kwon Oh-hyun will call Apple CEO Tim Cook, in a final chance at settlement before the trial heads to the jury for a verdict.

At stake in the battle is the $219.1B (valuation by Bloomberg) smartphone market. Combined with the tablet sector, these two markets could easily eclipse a trillion dollars in the next several years.
Apple would love to gain a monopoly in the smartphone market, to complement its dominant position in the tablet space. But it has seemed sluggish in advancing the experience of its handheld devices opting for a
slower pace of changes
than Android. As a result Android devices today have many capabilities and hardware advantages that their Apple counterparts do not -- such as larger screens, LTE modems, and near field communications. Those factors have given Android phonemakers approximately 68 percent of the global market at last count [
To counteract that, it's taken up the sword. Apple is looking for $2.5B-$2.75B USD in infringement damages, as well as multiple sales bans on Samsung product -- a crippling outcome. It is still
pursuing similar terms
in its case against HTC Corp. (
), as well. In the U.S. only Motorola Mobility -- a Google Inc. (
) subsidiary is free from the wrath of Apple, after the pairs legal strife was
"with prejudice" by a federal judge.
III. Samsung Presents Quandary for War-maker Apple
The Samsung case is made unique by two factors.
First, Apple and Samsung are expected to do $12B USD in business in 2012, up 50 percent from the $8B USD in 2011. Without Samsung's chips Apple could not make its products. Fortunately, regardless of the lawsuit outcome, Samsung is contractually obligated to provide those chips to its archrival. But the danger for Apple comes for the future.
If it hurts Samsung too bad, Samsung could retaliate by refusing to renew chip production contracts. And given the level of design expertise employed by Samsung in making the chips -- particularly the SoC -- that could amount to almost a redesign for Apple of its smartphone chips. Further, quality would likely suffer --
initial trial runs with third-party fabs
reportedly did not go well for Apple; it was hard for them to match savvy Samsung's level of chip-making prowess.

Second, Samsung is the
largest of the Android phonemakers
, and the
only one to approach Apple
in profitability. However, the promise of killing Android's superstar offers powerful motivation in the other direction -- for war.
It was Judge Koh who suggested the second peacemaking effort, with Samsung and later Apple agreeing. The Judge called herself "pathologically optimistic" in her hope that this second round of intimate talks between company chiefs would produce
a different outcome
If it does not, the jury should be in for an arduous trial, as both companies -- after
initial reductions
-- argued that they were unable to further reduce their claims or exhibits. At least one member of the jury has
family members who reportedly hold a significant number of shares of Apple stock
, something Judge Koh said was okay, as the individual themselves would not directly profit off of damaging Samsung and boosting Apple. Still it's hard to imagine that couldn't introduce a certain level of bias in that member's mind.
"Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine." -- Bill Gates

The history of glucosamine and chondroitin
Despite the fact that the benefits of these glucosamine and chondroitin products have been known for over twenty years, many people question why these products are just now being used in the United States. The answer lies in the fact that glucosamine and chondroitin are not products that can be patented, and therefore, offer little incentive to the large pharmaceutical companies to develop a product. Pharmaceutical companies spend millions in research and development and need a patented product to guarantee sales and to recoup their investment.
Another issue is that glucosamine and chondroitin are considered nutraceuticals and are not strictly controlled by the FDA. They are naturally occurring substances in many food products and fall in the same class as vitamins. Despite the overwhelmingly positive studies done in Europe, American researchers still refused to perform controlled studies. In fact, literature searches show that there are hardly any North American studies done on these products. But all this is quickly changing. Because of the huge number of humans and pets suffering from osteoarthritis and the tremendous success in the treatment of this disease when using glucosamine and chondroitin, many companies are now producing a product line and several broad research studies are underway.
Uses of glucosamine and chondroitin
Glucosamine products have been studied and used for the healing of skin wounds, stomach ailments, and joint problems. Their use in the relief and healing of the symptoms of joint disease is currently their biggest use. Glucosamine and chondroitin have been successfully used in humans, horses, dogs, and cats. This article deals only with glucosamine and chondroitin and their therapeutic use for osteoarthritis in the dog and cat.
There are many different joints that can be affected by osteoarthritis in the dog, but by far, the most common is the hip joints. Hip Dysplasia is very common in many of the larger breeds of dogs. This condition greatly exacerbates the normal wear on the smooth cartilage protecting the bony surface of the joint. When this cartilage wears away there is a bone to bone contact, which creates the pain seen with arthritis. Even dogs that do not have hip dysplasia may have a decrease in this cartilage as they age, and will show signs of arthritis. In addition, aging dogs may also have arthritis in their knees, elbows, and shoulders and cartilage loss or damage that respond to glucosamine and chondroitin.
Glucosamine and chondroitin are also often used as an aid in the treatment of spinal disc injuries or post operatively in dogs that have undergone joint surgery.
The typical patient that is placed on and responds to glucosamine and chondroitin therapy is a middle aged to older medium to large breed dog. Dogs may show symptoms of limping or stiffness especially in the morning and during cold weather. They usually loosen up as they move around and exercise. Some dogs have difficulty climbing stairs or getting into or out of a vehicle. Many dogs respond to treatment with buffered aspirin (Do NOT give your cat aspirin unless prescribed by your veterinarian) or carprofen (Rimadyl), but when the product is discontinued the pain and symptoms return. Osteoarthritis also affects small dogs and cats and glucosamine and chondroitin have been used very effectively in relieving their symptoms.
In my experience I would say that most older dogs suffer from some level of osteoarthritis. Many owners attribute the loss of activity to old age and may not even identify it as a problem. And they never appreciate how much their dog's activity level was being reduced by the arthritis until they place their dog on glucosamine and chondroitin therapy and see the return of normal function.
Where are glucosamine and chondroitin found?
Glucosamine and chondroitin are normal substances found in the body of living animals. They are at their highest concentration in cartilage. Unfortunately, through degradation during digestion and processing, almost all of the glucosamine in an animal's diet is unavailable for use. The body, therefore, synthesizes most of its own glucosamine through a biochemical reaction utilizing glucose. In normal healthy animals the body is able to synthesize enough glucosamine to keep the existing cartilage healthy, but when the animal ages or there is damage to joint cartilage it cannot produce enough to keep up with the body's needs. This is where a supplemental form of glucosamine is needed.
Supplemental glucosamine: Glucosamine is a 2-amino derivative of glucose which is obtained through the hydrolysis of chitin, a polysaccharide found in the shell of crustaceans. Crustaceans have a very high concentration of chitin and because the shells are often discarded, provide a reliable and cost effective source of glucosamine.
Chondroitin: Chondroitin is a naturally occurring product found in animal cartilage. Supplemental chondroitin is derived primarily from bovine (cow) cartilage, particularly the cartilage rings of the trachea. It is also derived from shark and whale cartilage. The source does not appear to have any impact on its effect. Though for ecological reasons, many consumers prefer bovine sources.
How do glucosamine and chondroitin work?
The way that glucosamine works is a very complicated process. In a nutshell, cartilage consists of several different cells, one of which is chondrocytes. Chondrocytes are responsible for synthesizing new cartilage. Through normal wear, cartilage is constantly being broken down and replaced. When a dog has hip dysplasia or ages, the chondrocytes do not have the building blocks available to them to build enough new cartilage to keep up with the breakdown of the old cartilage. Glucosamine provides the building blocks to synthesize new cartilage. Glucosamine is the building block necessary for the production of the substances called glycosaminoglycans. The glycosaminoglycans are combined with hyaluronic acid to make the substance proteoglycans. The proteoglycans and collagen are the main structures of cartilage.
Chondroitin also is one of the products necessary for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans. But it probably plays a more important role by combating and neutralizing destructive enzymes in the joint. There is always a low level of destructive enzymes found in the joint, but when injury or abnormal wear occurs, the destructive enzymes and agents increase accelerating cartilage destruction. When chondroitin is added to the diet it helps to reduce the level of these destructive enzymes.
What are the side effects?
There are very few side effects. Drs. Foster and Smith have sold tens of thousands of doses of glucosamine and chondroitin products and have never seen a single, severe side effect. Glucosamine and chondroitin have been used for over 20 years in Europe without any complication or listing of side effects. Occasionally, a dog will vomit or get diarrhea with this product. If the dose is reduced or given with food, the symptoms are usually alleviated. Once a dog begins using the product, they must stay on it for the rest of their lives or the degeneration of the joint cartilage will return. Once the product has promoted healing for 8 weeks, the dose is often reduced. The safety of this product is well suited for long term use. It can also be used with most other drugs and vitamins without any complication. The owner of any animal that is taking a medication should always seek veterinary advice before adding any new product or drug.
Where can I get glucosamine and chondroitin?
Glucosamine and chondroitin can be found in many different forms. Glucosamine in a pure form, or combined with chondroitin, can be purchased in health food stores, at veterinary clinics, and in pet supply catalogs.
Not all glucosamine and chondroitin products are created equal, however. The difference in various products lies in the dosing, carriers, vitamins, minerals, and purity of the ingredients. Products that contain human grade glucosamine and chondroitin are much more likely to be of high quality and in a purer form. In addition to ingredients, the concentration of actual glucosamine and chondroitin vary from product to product. Products designed for dogs often have ascorbic acid or manganese to help aid in the uptake of glucosamine in the canine. Canine products may be flavored or fortified with other minerals. The most expensive product is not always the best. Compare the ingredients between products to ensure that you are getting what you pay for. Some of the most popular products for canines include Drs. Foster and Smith's Joint Care, Cosequin made by Nutramax, and Glycoflex.
Why did my vet not recommend glucosamine/chondroitin for my pet?
Many veterinarians are just becoming aware of the benefits of glucosamine and chondroitin. Most veterinarians gain their information about new products through major pharmaceutical companies. Because the large pharmaceutical companies are not promoting this product it has taken longer to be introduced to veterinarians. Veterinarians that specialize in orthopedics or who keep current on all new products are usually very aware of the benefits of glucosamine and chondroitin and have used these products for years.
Do glucosamine/chondroitin really work?
There have been many studies done in Europe showing the benefits of these products. There is a complete absence of completed studies on these products in the United States, although, many are currently underway and initial reports confirm the results seen in Europe. Drs. Foster and Smith have carried this product for several years and the reports that we get back from our customers are very positive.
Can I use glucosamine/chondroitin with painkillers or other drugs?
Many animals are on aspirin or carprofen (Rimadyl) before they begin glucosamine/chondroitin therapy. I usually encourage owners to wean their pets off of painkillers over a period of six weeks while the glucosamine and chondroitin are taking effect. Some animals with severe arthritis may need to be on a low dose of buffered aspirin to maintain their comfort even with the benefits of glucosamine and chondroitin. Other supplements such as multivitamins and fatty acids are often given to animals on glucosamine supplements without any problems. It is always best to check with your veterinarian before putting your pet on any medication or supplement. This information should be a part of your pet's medical record.
What is the difference between glucosamine (HCl) and glucosamine sulfate?
Glucosamine hydrochloride (HCl) and glucosamine sulfate both work equally well in dogs. The sulfate form was originally used in Europe. The HCl form has recently become more popular because it is purer and provides more available glucosamine per unit weight and contains much less residual ash.
How long can I keep my dog on it?
Most pets need to be on the replacement therapy for the rest of their lives. Studies have shown that cartilage degeneration will reoccur about four to six months after the product is discontinued. The exception to this would be young animals that were on it for 3 months or so following a joint surgery or injury.
Can I use it to prevent hip dysplasia?
There is no indication that this product slows the progression of hip dysplasia. It does not prevent the development of hip dysplasia. Many animals that have hip dysplasia benefit from being on glucosamine and chondroitin because it helps heal the cartilage and reduce the pain involved with this disease.
Can I give my dog the kind that I take?
Pharmaceutical grade glucosamine and chondroitin are used for humans and are found in some veterinary products. It is perfectly safe to use human glucosamine in your pet, however, products made for animals contain ascorbic acid to help in the uptake, in canines. In addition, animal products are dosed in the correct size for animals and are often flavored to make them more palatable to pets.
Can glucosamine and chondroitin be used in cats?
It is safe to use in cats and appears to work very well in reducing the signs of feline osteoarthritis. Drs. Foster and Smith produce a small capsule specifically for cats and small dogs.

Achilles (uh-KILL-eez) tendon rupture is an injury that affects the back of your lower leg. It most commonly occurs in people playing recreational sports.
The Achilles tendon is a strong fibrous cord that connects the muscles in the back of your calf to your heel bone. If you overstretch your Achilles tendon, it can tear (rupture) completely or just partially.
If your Achilles tendon ruptures, you might feel a pop or snap, followed by an immediate sharp pain in the back of your ankle and lower leg that is likely to affect your ability to walk properly. Surgery is often the best option to repair an Achilles tendon rupture. For many people, however, nonsurgical treatment works just as well.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team hung with Ivy favorite Harvard for about nine minutes on Saturday night at the Crimson's Lavietes Pavilion, but once the Crimson stepped on the gas the Quakers had no answer in falling, 80-50.
Penn fell to 4-13 overall, 1-2 in Ivy League play after this most frustrating of weekends. Harvard improved to 17-3 overall, 4-0 in Ivy play.
Harvard is deep and athletic, and all of that was on display as the Crimson ran away with this thing starting midway through the first half. Penn was up 18-15 after a Fran Dougherty layin with just over 11 minutes to play, but Harvard scored the game's next 14 points and used a 29-5 run to halftime to take any drama out of this contest.
The run continued into the second half, as the lead built up to as much as 32 points after Lauren Rivard (22 points) hit a trio of three-pointers in the span of just over a minute.
Rivard finished with 22 points, while Kyle Casey had 15 points and 11 rebounds and Zena Edosomwan had 10 points. Harvard shot 50 percent in the game but went 12-of-20 on three-point shots, and eight of the Crimson's nine field goals in the second half came from beyond the arc.
Sophomore Tony Hicks finished the game with 14 points to lead Penn, while Darien Nelson-Henry and Miles Jackson-Cartwright added 10 apiece. Hicks also led the Quakers with three assists, while Henry Brooks scored six points and had three steals.
Penn returns to action next weekend at home, hosting Cornell on Friday night and Columbia on Saturday night. Both games will tip off at 7 p.m.
