Biological samples collected from crime scenes, mass disasters, and missing persons cases may have been exposed to harsh environmental conditions such as heat, direct sunlight, and water that break down the chemical structure of DNA. Environmental exposure damages DNA by randomly breaking the molecules into smaller pieces. Inhibitors of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), such as some textile dyes, can also interfere with the ability to recover a full DNA profile from biological evidence. New DNA tests are being developed to recover information from smaller regions of DNA, which are more likely to be intact following DNA damage. These new DNA tests include miniSTRs (using PCR primers close to the STR repeat region) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Whole genome amplification and DNA repair methods are also being evaluated to determine the possibility of enriching PCR amplifiable material from limited or damaged DNA templates.

Have you tried SSH?
Hello BT(4) users,
I have installed BT4 on a appliance without a VGA connection.
Is there a way to std control the desktop --> VNC
Is there a way to make a connection from another PC to BT4 with PUTTY!
Thx for the replies
Have you tried SSH?
Yes, yes, all this is possible and actually quite easy to establish... now you want the detailed steps, right?
Best bet is to learn for yourself how this is accomplished. Plenty of tutorials can be found with Google's help, as BT4b is based on Ubuntu. What works for Ubuntu should work for BT4b.
Ok, this post helped me get VNC installed:
--> I did not follow this step-by-step, but rather used what made sense for BT4b, so beware.
Hope this helps.
You don't say whether BT4 has booted into X or similar
From after login prompt issue these commands
// WAIT AROUND 15 SECONDS - for it to create keys //
then issue
/etc/init.d/ssh start
You should now be able to SSH in from another machine and create non-root users etc...
I'm just curious as to why you would use this setup, what application does it serve?
So, VNC and ssh are important parts of my system. If I wish to really accelerate a task, I can shutdown the VNC completely, and throw all the CPU cycles and memory footprint on, say, pyrit.
When I reboot BT the SSH Server is down, how is't possible to start it by default! The same for my eth0, when I change /etc/network/interfaces to
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address x.x.x.x
netmask x.x.x.x
gateway x.x.x.x
after reboot eth0 is not up, when I give the command ifconfig eth0 up, then the eth0 is working but without any static IP!
I think that I must change a boot up script but don't no what or how!
Hope to hear from you
I found this on the Internet
Run the terminal command:
x11vnc -forever -usepw -httpdir /usr/share/vnc-java/ -httpport 5800
It's working just fine BUT the next step I don't how to accomplish!!
-->add it for auto-starting in future sessions<--
Hope somebody can help me.
I don't now if this important BUT
When I set the clock and I reboot BT4 then the time is different then i configured.
It seems that everything I do, it's back to the old setting when I reboot.
Can somebody help with this problem
nano /etc/network/interfaces
Change the network interface that you are using to the following...
Code:# The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1
QuadCore AMD Phenon X4 9950, 2600 MHz
8GB DDR2 800MHz
Dual Boot System: Windows Server 2008 x64 w/ Hyper-V, Ubuntu 9.10 x64
Your right, that's what I do, first google and then if I don't find the correct information I search the forum or ask a question.
That's what I did, change the information in nano /etc/network/interfaces.
The only thing I did not do is the line with network and broadcast.
So I put the line with network and broadcast in the interfaces and rebooted my system --> but no luck!!!!
When I logon with root and give the command ifconfig the only thing I see is:
lo Link encap: Local Loopback.
When I give the command ifconfig eth0 up and then ifconfig i see
the eth0 + lo but eth0 is without a IP adres.
What's going wrong!!!
After searching I found this
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/network_start
/etc/init.d/networking start
~# chmod 755 /etc/init.d/network_start
~# update-rc.d network_start defaults
And now it's working
that il help, yeah.
I would rather be hated for what i am,
Then loved for what i am not.
Is also good to know the Linux way of setting static IPs, that way you don't have to depend on Ubuntu's predefined code. Create a little script that executes at start up. Four simple things you need to set up static IP: ip-address, subnet mask, default gateway, dns server.Code:~# chmod 755 /etc/init.d/networking
Save the script, give it executing rights and simple call at start up from /etc/rc.local!!Code:#!/bin/bash ifconfig eth0 up ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default gw 192.168.2.1 echo "nameserver 18.104.22.168" > /etc/resolv.conf

Listeria in First Trimester... help!
Im currently 30 weeks pregnant and have done well not to get too concerned with the whole listeria hysteria so far. However, I was recently reading online about a massive cheese recall by the Jindi Cheese Company in January this year due to contamination with listeria. I got my BFP at the end of Jan but over the Christmas/New Year period ate a fair amount of brie, in particular the Blue Cow triple cream brie which was one of the ones recalled on January 18. A week or so before my BFP I had the stomach flu (I was sicker than I had been in a long time!) I brushed it off at the time but am now worried I may have had listeriosis .
My question is, if I developed listeriosis around the time of implantation (or very early in my first trimester) would my baby be showing signs by ultrasound by now? I have had scans at 12, 20 and 29 weeks and they have all shown a healthy baby but I still cant help but worry that I ate contaminated cheese and she will be born very sick. Thank you

Hi pregattwentyeight - Listeria is very difficult to diagnose unfortunately and the physical signs are not always obvious. Unfortunately listeria is also very difficult to test for. There really isn't any test that I am aware of that can tell you if you've been exposed. Have you discussed your concerns with your midwife or doctor? They will keep a close eye on baby's growth. You may find it helpful to know that between 34 to 71 cases of Listeria are reported every year in all of Australia. So the incidence of listeria is extremely low. The Jindi Cheese company has cause a lot of concern for a lot of pregnant women as many have eaten their products.

Thank you so much for your reply.
Unfortunately my doctor is away at the moment and I don't see him for another two weeks.
We had a growth scan recently and baby was spot on. I guess my question is, if I did have listeria in my early first trimester (or during the 2WW) which passed to the baby would she be showing some sort of sign by now? Is it possible to contract it during the first trimester and baby seem completely healthy all the way through the pregnancy until after birth?
Thank you.
28th July 2013 10:47 AM #5
It is great news that your growth scan shows that the baby is spot on for growth - it provides reassurance that everything is on track.
The information ultrasounds provide is limited. Ultrasounds look for abnormalities in growth and development of the baby and the amount of amniotic fluid around the baby. Listeria doesn't cause developmental abnormalities in the baby - so ultrasound is not helpful for this. Listeria can make a baby unwell and if the baby is unwell it may not grow appropriately (hence keeping an eye on growth is important and ultrasound is one way of doing this). Unfortunately Listeria can cause miscarriage, stillbirth and the baby being unwell at birth and ultrasound may not detect anything abnormal.
From the reading I've done - it seems to indicate that Listeria caught later in pregnancy is more of a concern. Remember that the chance of you catching listeria is quite low. It is very reassuring that everything so far has progressed normally.

On the same topic of cheese, I am so paranoid I may have accidently eaten something to cause listeria.
I am 35 weeks pregnant and have been having a healthy pregnancy so far.
A few hours ago, I sprinkled crumbled cheese which comes in a packet on my pasta, microwaved it to a melt and had my lunch. The expiry was Dec2013 and the cheese didn't taste or smell funny. However, when I was putting the cheese back in I saw one solitary piece with mould on it. I am getting so many conflicting bits of advise, but my paranoia is getting the best of me.
Could you please help?
9th October 2013 07:18 AM #7
Dear Tanama,
Congratulations on your pregnancy and welcome to our forum.
I am sorry to read about your concerns. Listeria is not found in processed cheese. Listeria is also killed by microwaving food so that it is piping hot. I would also like to add that listeria is an extremely rare illness, even in pregnant women. All of these three pieces of information mean that it is highly, highly unlikely that you have contracted any illness from eating the cheese on your pasta.
Try to stay calm and remember it is best to keep stress to a minimum in pregnancy.
In the very unlikely event that you get any stomach symptoms (diarrhoea or sickness), speak to your midwife or doctor. There is a blood test that can be done for listeria if you are still very worried but I do not think you need to be.
I wish you a happy and healthy rest of pregnancy.
Please do post back if you have any further concerns.
Warm wishes,
9th October 2013 07:19 AM #8

What Will The Winter Be Like In New Jersey? [AUDIO]
Experts are warning we've had above-average rainfall over the past month, which could lead to flooding troubles in the coming weeks.
Dave Robinson, New Jersey state climatologist at Rutgers, says, "Given the active weather pattern we've been in for the last week or two, and given the time of year where evaporation rates are very low, we're pretty wet – we've got a flood threat should we get several inches of liquid out of this very active late December pattern."
He says we shouldn't expect much of a snow pack going into this time of the year- this is when it starts developing up in the higher elevations of Northern New Jersey and sometimes into the lower elevations, "but with any heavy precipitation at this time of the year – particularly how wet it's been the last several weeks – there is the threat of flooding – should the rain come down too fast, or should a combination of snow-melt and rainfall occur."
Robinson points out, "There's no forecast of exceeding amounts of precipitation in the 4 or 5, 6 inch range which gives all kinds of problems, but even right now an inch and a half, two inches of rain can bring some streams and some rivers out of their banks- and become more of a nuisance in flooding with transportation…it's certainly something we have to look at during this time of year."
He also says while it's been wet and rainy lately, we're not able to predict what conditions will be more than a week to 10 days in the future, "particularly in a winter when there's no strong signal from El Nino or La Nina in the tropical Pacific."
So what will the weather be like in January and February? Robinson says at this point the only thing we know is,"It's going to get cold as we get into next week – that's a better lock than what's going to happen say in terms of precipitation…but as we go further into January and beyond, all bets are off at this point."

No, NASA Did Not Release A Study On Aliens And Global Warming
Blog ››› ››› JOCELYN FONG
Yesterday, the UK's Guardian reported on a paper "by a Nasa-affiliated scientist and colleagues at Pennsylvania State University" which asks whether contact with extraterrestrial intelligence "would benefit or harm humanity." Among the numerous scenarios considered, the paper stated that aliens "may seek to preemptively destroy" our rapidly expanding civilization, which they could detect "because our expansion is changing the composition of Earth's atmosphere (e.g. via greenhouse gas emissions.)"
The Guardian falsely claimed that the report was "for Nasa" and has since issued a correction.
Indeed the report is not NASA research. Shawn Domagal-Goldman, the co-author of the paper who works at NASA, wrote yesterday:
This isn't a "NASA report." It's not work funded by NASA, nor is it work supported by NASA in other ways. It was just a fun paper written by a few friends, one of whom happens to have a NASA affiliation.
Yes, I work at NASA. It's also true that I work at NASA Headquarters. But I am not a civil servant... just a lowly postdoc. More importantly, this paper has nothing to do with my work there. I wasn't funded for it, nor did I spend any of my time at work or any resources provided to me by NASA to participate in this effort. There are at least a hundred more important and urgent things to be done on any given work day than speculate on the different scenarios for contact with alien civilizations... However, in my free time (what precious little I have), I didn't mind working on stuff like this every once in a while. Why? Well, because I'm a geek and stuff like this is fun to think about.
Nevertheless, conservative media are attributing the paper to NASA.
A NewsCore article posted on Fox News.com claims that the paper is "a joint study by Penn State and the NASA Planetary Science Division." Conservative blogger Jim Hoft wrote:
It's an Obama world. NASA, the once prestigious space agency, has morphed into a junk science outlet that focuses on Muslim outreach and space alien sensitivities to climate change.
And Commentary magazine falsely claimed: "Yes, this was written in a taxpayer-funded study."
Fox News covered the paper twice this morning and aired the following on-screen text:
And here's what the headlines look like:
Conservative media have previously attempted to discredit NASA as a source of climate change information and analysis:
Forbes Runs False Quote In Attack On Climate Data
Fox Compares NASA's Hansen To Someone Being Paid By Big Tobacco To Deny Risks Of Smoking
Limbaugh Speculates That NASA Intentionally Crashed Satellite To Preserve Global Warming "Hoax"
Right-wing media forward conspiracy theory that NASA, NOAA manipulate climate data
UPDATE: In another Fox News segment, America Live anchor Megyn Kelly attributed the paper to "NASA scientists" and asked viewers to weigh in on whether "NASA [should] find new topics for its taxpayer funded research." The following poll was posted on FoxNews.com:
Kelly later offered a correction, and the phrasing of the poll question and the third option have been changed.

I just installed Eden beta 2 and I'm having some strange issues that I wasn't having previously.
For starters, in just regular library mode, sets don't seem to be working. This may be the source of my other issues, as everything seems to be crawling with just 74 movies loaded, whereas in Dharma I had my entire collection in the thousands.
More oddly, it is skipping loads of movies as well and I simply can't get them to load. They have proper .nfo files, created with Ember, at the same time as the rest. I can see them in the files screen, but they won't load.
Actually, initially - "Falling Down" was loading as "London Bridge is Falling Down", which was very weird, since it had a .nfo file and everything is correct. I removed it and did scan for new data and now it wont' see it. Then I simply renamed the avi file and did a scan - bam, loaded proper.
The same was happening with the film "Fallen", it was loading it as some Limp Biscuit or whatever concert. It is quite strange. Renamed the file, it detected it.
Basically, all my Charlie Chan films that were in a set aren't loading. I had a Billy Connolly set, where some are showing and the rest are not. More oddly than that though, non-set films aren't showing as well, such as Caddyshack.
I'm quite puzzled, as all these loaded fine with Dharma and my naming conventions are generally sound.
Here is my log
You'll note it is saying there is no .nfo file, but indeed there is, such as a movie.nfo. I checked every instance. Which is arbitrary seeming, since Caddyshack 2 has a movie.nfo and is loading quite fine.
Here is my .nfo for caddyshack 1 that it says does not exist.
- there should be 152 movies loaded, but it's only seeing 75 on this drive.

I think I figured out the issue.
It seems, in many cases, having movie.nfo isn't enough anymore. It has to be <movie>.nfo
Otherwise, it's simply scraping it. Which explains why my custom sets don't work.
I'm a bit confused, however, as I thought having movie.nfo was enough when the movies have their own filename?

Ah grand. I must of just been confused, cause I vaguely remember reading (when I was setting this up last spring) tips on folder structure and this and that. I thought I saw something that it was preferred practice for movie.nfo, but I may of misunderstood that and it's only a shrouded memory.

Viewing Iran: Optimism or Annihilation? (COMMENTARY MAGAZINE) Omri Ceren 05/21/12)

Consider this an update to last February, when another high-ranking Iranian official pledged to kill all Jews and annihilate Israel. Last time, the genocidal threat came from Supreme Leader Khameneis strategy specialist Alireza Forghani, and was published on a Khamenei- linked website. This time, its Hassan Firouzabadi, the chief of staff of the Iranian armed forces, via what might politely be called the government-affiliated FARS outlet:
Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi reiterated the Iranian nation and Supreme Leaders emphasis on the necessity of support for the oppressed Palestinian nation and its causes, and noted, The Iranian nation is standing for its cause that is the full annihilation of Israel. The top military official reminded that the Iranian Supreme Leader considers defending Palestine as a full religious duty and believes that any kind of governance and rule by anyone other than the Palestinians as an instance of usurpation.
No doubt Iranian apologists will soon explain how the Iranian outlet FARS which is where this passage comes from is mistranslating Firouzabadi. Maybe the IRCG stooges who work there just dont understand Farsi!
Do note, nevertheless, how Firouzabadi emphasizes the annihilation of Israel as a religious duty. That too echoes the previous February announcement, which laid out a jurisprudential justification for the final war against the Jewish State. Last week, the Iranians actually held a conference on the theme, with one Iranian official calling for an Islamic awakening to wipe out Israel.
Meanwhile the Obama administration is per Haaretz radiating optimism about cooperating with Iran:
The Obama administration and the Iranian regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei are entering a critical week of decisions over the issue of Irans nuclear program. The sides are moving toward a warming of relations alongside enrichment, whereby the relationship between Washington and Tehran will improve, while Iran continues enriching uranium without pursuing a weapons program, but does not give up on its existing program. The threat of American or Israeli military action still exists, yet no one is holding the gun to Irans head. Several developments have taken place in the last couple of days, causing the White House to radiate optimism.
This news comes in the midst of a campaign of anti-Israel leaks, among them complaints hitting Jerusalem for its narrow definition of the Iranian threat. Seriously. Why cant the Israelis just relax already?

Diane Spiers from England writes:
Recently you gave directions for "manual cleaning of the temp. directory." Can you please tell me what a temp. directory is and if I really need to give it a cleaning?
Hi, Diane,
You have an excellent question!
The temp directory is the location on your computer to which all temporary files are saved. Temporary files are files saved by your web browser or another program in order to speed up that program's performance. One good example are the temporary files created when you browse the internet. If you go to, say, WorldStart.com, typically you'll access the same initial page. A copy of this page will be saved to your computer so that the next time you go to that page, it will pop right up for you with little to no delay. Your web browser will do this for many of the pages you access on the internet. Often the files are deleted by the program that created them. However, if a program ends in error, has a component that is not working properly, or any other irregularity, these files are left in the temporary drive. Others are retained simply for efficiency or to speed access to pages you have already visited on the web.
A somewhat ironic aspect of this process is that though having these files on your computer may speed up your access to, again, say WorldStart.com, the more files that are in the temporary folder, the slower your computer begins to process. Eventually, their existence is enough to cause a serious drag in your computer's performance.
This is why you need to delete them.
Of course there are several ways to do it, but one way to delete the temporary files on your computer, not just those created by your browser, is shown in Andrew's article "Temp Directory Shortcut."
The more frequently you clean your temporary directory, the less often you will be burdened with a sluggish computer. If you only use your computer periodically, a cleaning once a month or so should be sufficient. If you use it a lot more, you might consider performing this maintenance more frequently.
I hope this clears up some of the mystery! Happy cleaning!
~Karen Powers Liebhaber

Thread: Suggs out of walking boot
Suggs out of walking boot
Wow, sooner than I would have expected. 10 weeks after surgery and it sounds like things are proceeding well. He might be right about returning in October or November. As long as he doesn't rush it....hurt it....have a setback.
Good luck TS!

Re: Suggs out of walking boot
If he was given the OK to be out of the boot now he is at the very least on schedule. Three months in the boot wouldn't have surprised me at all.
At this point I share his optimism.And the Beatdown goes on.......

Re: Suggs out of walking boot
This really is good news, because I had a friend who had a similar injury in my rugby team (only partial tear) and was in a boot for 4 months. Now I know he's an NFL star and all that, but this is still good news that he is out of the boot so early. He has also been doing exercises that strengthens his tendon, and I believe the tendon comes back stronger than when it was before the tear, not sure if this is the truth, but if it is, it is certainly encouraging. My main concern is the shape Suggs will be in by November, or whenever he comes back. Will he keep him self in shape? We know that Suggs has never been a real workout warrior, so him coming back to his 2009 form or worse is the main worry I have.
Re: Suggs out of walking boot
I wore a boot and they don't take it off til you're ready or there's
an infection and bleeding as in my ankle.
It's very uncomfortable and weird walking in it but Suggs must
be way ahead of schedule. Maybe he will play this year.
Re: Suggs out of walking boot
I severely doubt Suggs is even close to his old form, if he makes it back this season.
But I still hope he at least makes it back, and gets some reps on the bum wheel, so he's more comfortable for the start of the 2013 season.

For quick reference click on one of the questions below, or you can scroll through the complete list of SIC and NAICS code questions and answers.
What are SIC and NAICS codes?
What is the difference between a SIC and a NAICS code?
Can I compare historical SIC data to the NAICS data?
Can I get SIC code data after 2004?
What do I do if I need historical QBR NAICS data?
Both Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) and North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes identify a firm's primary business activity. For example a firm with SIC 571 primarily sells retail furniture. A firm with NAICS 311 is primarily engaged in food manufacturing.
These codes were developed by the federal government and are used by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as well as many other U.S. statistical agencies. In 1997, OMB adopted NAICS as its new industry classification system.
Every registered Washington firm is assigned a SIC or NAICS code. SIC codes can be up to four digits and NAICS codes can be up to six digits. The Quarterly Business Review (QBR) and the other Create a Report functions (i.e. Gross Business Income report, Statewide Taxable Retail Sales report, Local Sales/Use report) use these codes to group firms together to create informative and useful information. Because the national standard changed from the use of SIC codes to the use of NAICS codes, in November 2004 the Department stopped assigning SIC codes and now only assigns NAICS codes.
For a list of SIC codes click here. For a list of NAICS codes click here.
<Back to Top>
NAICS codes provide a greater level of detail about a firm's activity than SIC codes. NAICS includes 1,170 industries and SIC includes 1,004 industries. There are 358 new industries recognized in NAICS, 250 of which are services producing industries.
Additionally, NAICS codes are based on a consistent, economic concept, while SIC codes are not. For NAICS codes, establishments that use the same or similar processes to produce goods or services are grouped together. Industries under the SIC codes were grouped together based on either demand or production.
Unlike SIC codes, the NAICS codes were developed by the U.S. federal government in cooperation with Canadian and Mexican statistical agencies. Because both Canada and Mexico use NAICS for their industry classifications, government and business analysts are now able to compare directly industrial production statistics collected and published in the three North American Free Trade Agreement countries. Additionally, NAICS provides for increased comparability with the International Standard Classification System (ISIC, Revision 3), developed and maintained by the United Nations (This information was taken from the U.S. Census Bureau web site, http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naicsdev.htm).
No. SIC codes do not seamlessly convert to NAICS codes. Therefore, a firm that may have fallen under a particular SIC code may now be classified under a completely different NAICS code. For example, a firm classified in SIC 7359 Business Services (Not Elsewhere Classified) could now be classified under NAICS 491110 Postal Service, or NAICS 541340 Drafting Services, among others.
To see how a particular SIC code corresponds to NAICS click here.
To see how a particular NAICS code corresponds to SIC click here.
No. In an effort to move in line with national standards, the Department stopped assigning SIC codes to firms in November 2004 and began only assigning NAICS codes. Because the Department has stopped assigning and updating SIC codes, the Department had to convert the QBR and its other databases to NAICS codes beginning with the Quarter 1, 2005 data. This means the 2005 calendar year data published in the other Create a Report functions (i.e. Gross Business Income report and Statewide Taxable Retail Sales report) are also only available in NAICS codes.

Final performances of 'Christmas' classics
Published: Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 10:48 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 10:48 a.m.
Holiday productions at the Hippodrome Theatre and the Gainesville Community Playhouse will wish audiences a 'Merry Christmas' for the last times this weekend, where their respective productions are running through Sunday.
A Final 'Tuna' and a closing 'Carol'
The daffy characters who call Tuna, Texas, home have been back trying to win the town's lawn display contest at the Hippodrome — where "A Tuna Christmas" has been onstage for the first time in two years. The comedy, in which Cameron Francis and Matthew Lindsay play multiple zany characters, offers its final weekend of show Friday through Sunday.
Rusty Salling, meanwhile, is in his 23rd year of taking the stage as Ebenezer Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol," the Hippodrome's annual telling of Charles Dickens' classic story. The Hippodrome, which has staged "A Christmas Carol" for 35 years, offers final performances of the play on Thursday and Saturday.
"A Tuna Christmas": 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Hippodrome Theatre. Tickets: $15-$30. (375-4477, www.thehipp.org)
"A Christmas Carol": 7:30 p.m. Thursday, 2 and 4 p.m. Saturday, Hippodrome Theatre. Tickets: $15-$35. (375-4477, www.thehipp.org)
A Musical 'Merry & Bright' at the GCP
For good cheer this season, the Gainesville Community Playhouse has been filling its theater with "White Christmas" in more ways than one. But you'll have to see the musical based on the 1954 film, which features such popular songs by Irving Berlin as the title track, to get that drift. The production, which features a special "surprise" at the end, has final performances Thursday through Sunday at the Vam York Theater.
"White Christmas": 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday, Gainesville Community Playhouse, 4039 NW 16th Blvd. Tickets: $10-$16. (376-4949)

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
This Chandler public skate park, established in 1998, is one of the finest concrete parks in the western United States. Its seamless flow makes for a smooth ride, and its rails and ledges all line you up for a good run. Every transition in the place is perfect, and the coping is smooth as hell. The street area is great with a pyramid in the middle that's got a real good rail on it, and good corners. A couple humps help you maintain some speed, and there's a bank to ledge with a lot of possibilities. Ledges of all different sizes surround the entire street course, and there's a long kinked handrail-type thing. The park also has three great bowls, including a gnarly bowl with a spine, a volcano and a vert section, which is great to carve around in.
The park is free and no pads are required. There's never any BMXers to worry about, and the annoying little blader kids are easy to avoid because this is a 32,000-square-foot facility. The park, near Alma School and Ocotillo, is open from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. daily.
Speed freaks with qualms about breaking the law -- hey, they could exist -- best cruise up to the northwest Valley, where Speedworld Motorplex, nine miles north of Bell on Grand Avenue, holds weekly Street Legal Drags. The gates open at 6:30 p.m. every Wednesday in September for five hours of straight racing (gate time moves to 5:30 p.m. in November). Instigated at the request of local street racers, the casual event follows no set program; drivers wanting to test the prowess of their street-driven cars can get in 'tons of runs' without the hassle of tickets or formalities -- $15 to race, $10 to watch. If your beloved Buick doesn't have what it takes, get your kicks via virtual drag racing at www.speedworldmotorplex.com.
Located in southwest Phoenix at Cesar Chávez Park, this fishing hole gets a hook, line and sinker rating. With 25 acres of water, this is the largest of Arizona's designated urban fishing lakes. Be sure to get out there early because the space along the shore fills up quickly. There aren't any boats allowed, so you don't have to worry about the fish being jumpy or your line getting pushed around by the wake. Although there is a limit on the number of bass, trout and catfish you can take home, all others are fair game and limitless. The lake is stocked every two weeks, so there are always some hungry fish out there. Make a family outing out of it and teach the kids how to fish. Enjoy a picnic. Anglers, get angling.
Thanks to the Arizona Department of Transportation, it's only a short hop these days from downtown Phoenix to this nice little executive course, perfect for a late game even in 110-degree heat. The short (3,766 yards for the entire 18, or almost half as long as a regular-size links) par 60 doesn't lend itself to the use of big clubs -- not that we know how to use them anyway. Actually, it was the tricky, undulating greens that proved to be our undoing, as three-putts became a constant, if unwanted, companion. Though many of the fairways are narrow, nobody minds if you hit from wherever you land, as long as you keep an eye on the other groups. The 18th hole is a 340-yard beauty where water comes into play on both the tee shot and approach to the green. The whole thing takes just more than two hours, less than half what it usually takes to play a full-size course. That's a big plus in our busy books. And it's generally easy to get a tee time at Continental, except for those months when the temperature finally drops below 100. The price is right, too: $18 including a cart. Fore!

Way ahead of the curve, Sidewalk Surfer has been flinging skate gear for 26 years. Owner Sandie Hamilton started her first shop near the Scottsdale Civic Center because her kids and their friends were way into skateboarding, but couldn't find the stuff they needed in area stores.
"If these kids were doing it, I figured there were a lot more doing it as well," says Hamilton.
Besides the wide array of decks ($25 for blanks), bearings, wheels, trucks, helmets and pads, Sidewalk Surfer also sells inline skates (rentals available), mopeds, snowboards, boogie boards and skim boards. For those who prefer to walk, SS has every Frisbee golf disk needed for the hard-core master.
And while equipment is fine, the proper image is equally important. SS has a wide selection of hip sunglasses, flip-flops, swimsuits, tee shirts, pants and hats. For those downtimes, check out the skating videos under the counter, along with stickers galore for marking your turf.
When we want to experience a real celestial celebration, we head for Starlab, where the Challenger Space Center hosts totally cool interactive stargazing programs using high-powered telescopes. Our night consists of a slide presentation on the constellations and planets, with news on upcoming sky events, and stories of the night sky featuring folklore and mythology from different cultures. If we're as hungry for food as we are for knowledge, we can snack on hot dogs, chips and soda while we wonder about our place in the universe. Often, too, we stop in for special traveling shows, like the NASA Space Weather Exhibit; the Kalusa Miniature Aircraft Exhibit; the Space Toys Exhibit; and the Hubble Telescope Exhibit. Baby, we're going to the moon!

I used Carnation Pink with "atalntis aqua" on top on the heart of the pink cup and LOVE that it looks sort of periwinkle- I will probably do that combo on purpose in the future.
I have 2 yarn bowls (because I crochet) the "heart strings" bowl and the "spring eyelet" bowl.
Lastly My 3 yr old's handprint in my pie plate- it's "textured blue" over the spring green.
I know they are not perfect because I am new- but I am quite satisfied with most of it.

Tornados Set to Tangle with TusculumOctober 8, 2013
BC looks to snap its six-match winless streak
The Brevard College women's soccer team wraps up a two-match home stint when it welcomes Tusculum in a South Atlantic Conference match Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. at Brevard Soccer Field in Brevard, N.C.
• The Tornados wrap up their longest home stint in a month after playing four of its last six on the road. BC will enjoy its home confines in the coming weeks as it plays three of its next five on the home pitch.
• On Saturday, BC saw its winless streak reach six while dropping a 3-0 decision to Lincoln Memorial in conference action. LMU's Michelle Hunter paced the Railsplitter offense with a pair of goals while Lincoln Memorial outshot BC, 18-7. Sarah Fonger led the Tornados with three shots while Clair Deese recorded two. Senior Jamie Bundy made her first appearance on the season following a preseason injury.
• Offensively, Head Coach Shigeyoshi Shinohara's team has scored more goals this year (12) than it did all of last season (10). The Tornados are 3-0-1 when producing double-digit shots and 0-5 when held to single digits in the category.
• Kaitlin Burns (12) and Megan Jenkins (11) are first and second in shots while Fonger and Deese are tied for third with 10. 14 Tornados have taken a shot on the year. Yuki Soga leads the team in goals (three) and points (seven). Katherine Nickels, Fonger, and Burns have two goals apiece.
• Senior goalkeeper Brittany Webster has started all nine matches this season and has racked up 31 saves and three wins for the Tornados.
• Tusculum is 4-3-3, 2-0-2 SAC and is hasn't been defeated in its last five matches. The Pioneers battled to a scoreless tie with Anderson Sunday afternoon, snapping a three-match win streak. However, Tusculum's defense has proved to be stout while not allowing a goal in the last 496:08 minutes of action (Sept. 15).
• The Pioneers have five players who have recorded double digit shots on the season. Jenique Thombs leads the team in shots (21) while Amy Neltner paces the squad in goals (three) and points (eight). No player on the Pioneers has started all 10 matches this season.
• Tusculum has won four of the last five in the series including a 6-0 victory last year. The Pioneers have blanked BC on three occasions during the stretch; however, BC claimed a 2-0 win in the 2010 season.

USAID's presentation to Steinberg focused on ECCo's REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) pilot project with our Peruvian partner CIMA and funding from Exelon Corporation. Although delays due to an extra third-party validation requirement for the new Avoided Deforestation Partners methodology threaten our schedule, we still intend to enter the carbon market by the end of 2011 to secure long-term funding for the park and for standing forests in Peru. USAID is considering extending our funds for park management to cover the gap caused by the unexpected delays, promoting our collaborative efforts in Cordillera Azul as the showcase for the U.S. advancing REDD in Peru.

Beecher described it as "one of those places which one never enters without wishing never to leave."
Mr. Beecher was advertised to speak, and the house was packed.
Mrs. Tilton admired Beecher a little more than her husband did—she was a woman.
In the summer of 1863 Mr. Beecher had been sent to Europe for a rest.
Somehow few could withstand the power of Plymouth Church singing, and Mr. Beecher's prayers had a wonderfully moving influence.
Beecher wore his hair long, and now Tilton wore his long, too.
Mr. Beecher kept himself in perfect physical condition for his work.
Must I pay you compliments on your agreeability, Mr. Beecher?
Each ruminated long over the situation; and at last Beecher said, "Did poor Lackington leave you anything in his will?"
"She'll be sharply criticised," said Beecher, puffing his cigar.

This week on "Glee," the cast is saying goodbye to Cory Monteith's character on his tribute episode "The Quarterback." From the looks of the previews, it seems like it's going to be an emotional episode.
OK! TV has interviewed Jane Lynch, where she talked about how the cast dealt with the touching episode.
She says, "The episode is a memorial episode to Cory, but also the passing of Finn Hudson, the character."

Hello everyone, I have searched and searched and searched some more but I can't get my Intel 3945 to do anything.
The card will go into monitor mode, authenticate fine, but...
Whenever I try an attack with aireplay-ng, it does nothing but constantly read packets.
When I watch everyone else's videos as soon as they perform the command aireplay will read packets for like 2 seconds and find a packet for them to use for injection, however on mine it just reads up to 10000 packets and never returns one that I can use for injection.
The test shows that injection is indeed working and I'm using "mon0" just like discussed elsewhere.
I have tried everything from connecting multiple machines to the AP, being close to the AP, being far from the AP, and its still the same.
I hope this isn't a newbie question, but I'm getting frustrated and I just don't know what to do.

WWJR: What would Jesus run?
You would think that during the 13 years of Catholic school I proudly survived (one, interestingly, in which Bill O'Reilly was my 10th grade American History teacher at Monsignor Edward Pace High School in suburban Miami), I would have remembered the part about Christianity and capitalism being one and the same thing.
Yet, over the last couple of days, I've had interactions — I wouldn't necessarily call them "conversations" — with a Christian blogger who posted comments on my last two blogs, and who seems to think that those of us who are advocating FOSS are a bunch of pot-smoking, porn-surfing "librals"(his word, not mine) who are part of a communist plot to overrun the U.S. Not only this, it appears his beliefs run along the lines that Christianity and capitalism are synonymous, inseparably joined at the hip.
[As an aside, there is a great song by Todd Snider, "Conservative Christian Right-Wing Republican Straight White American Males" and the YouTube watch is well worth it.]
Nevertheless, the false theory that capitalism and Christianity are one and the same — the CEO Jesus Version 1.0 that this blogger seems to deify — started me thinking about a couple of things, namely:
- He's wrong about Jesus being a hardline capitalist, and I'll just point to Matthew 21:12 for starters (other examples abound in the Bible), where " . . . Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves . . . ." Of course, that would give Jesus something in common with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer in the furniture tossing department, but I digress; and
- If Jesus were a computer user, he'd definitely use GNU/Linux and not BSD, for clearly symbolic reasons. But what distro would he run?
Someone already beat me to the second part of that thought, actually. In the blog openjesus.org, Jesus "wrote" last May the following item:
"In my office I have a few machines, none more important than my Ubuntu box called king. I recently upgraded it to Feisty Fawn, so like some of you I'm going through a bit of an adjustment with some little things. Beryl quit working right, for instance. I could throw a miracle at it or fire up the old omniscience to just know how to fix it, but sometimes even Jesus likes to work things out. I'm a pretty good troubleshooter in my own right, I'll have you know, and as a recent convert from Gentoo I sort of need something to be broken a little bit to really feel like my Linux desktop is dialed in. I'm sure some of you understand."
As I wait for the laughter to die down, I have to say that this site could very well be the best satirical site ever (and the line about Gentoo — very true!). No, I'm not just saying that to curry favor with the author.
But it may answer the question what Jesus would run on his desktop. I would have voted for Ubuntu Christian Edition, but never mind. Now His laptop . . . I would be willing to bet Debian is somewhere in the mix, whether it's Etch or a distro in the Debian family.

I have to keep a dual-boot my laptop, unfortunately. The Holy Spirit and I travel together fairly often, and she just can't play her games under Linux. We'd get her a laptop of her own, but the take in tithes is way down since 9/11.
I actually still run Gentoo on my laptop alongside XP. The never ending string of fixes Gentoo needs keeps me busy through even the dullest service. What do you think I do all morning while the Holy Spirit is slaying evangelicals? I sit in the upper deck and continue trying to get my wifi card working.
I'm running Kubuntu in the office lately, at least as long as Hardy is in beta. Most of my disciples are trying to convince me to switch to K, but I wonder if that's not only because Linus prefers it to Gnome.
March 28, 2008 at 8:17 pm
I understand that you are not a fan of KDE, and want you to know that it will not affect your chances of getting into Heaven. I also know of your preference for Xfce, and indeed share it, which of course will affect your acceptance possibilities. My personal application servers all run Xubuntu, as I much prefer a simpler, less invasive GUI on a hybrid workstation/server. Azureus eats up so much CPU time that it's almost necessary to scale down to a slimmer desktop. When I first began seriously considering Linux I ran Slackware and later Mandrake, both with WindowMaker. Those were the days…
Part of the reason you found the Hardy beta "miraculous" was because some of the developers finally came around to committing their eternal soul to me. People work harder and produce better code when they know their eternal future is at stake. I've written extensively on the lack of work ethic displayed by atheists.
The secret with Gentoo is to take a 7-day approach. Start from stage one, create only what you need; move to stage 2 and populate core slots with your favorite packages, then spend a few days getting it current and able to boot more than 50% of the time. On the 7th day, shut it down and watch BSG or something. That's what Dad did with the Earth and you see how well that's working out for Him.

Whether it is Ignorantchristian or ShelleytheRepublican they don't not represent Christianity (whatever the state of their eternal souls). What is more FOSS freely practiced is not separate from capitalism. As Microsoft sages adeptly point out, it is a different business model. I have no doubt that RedHat, Sun, IBM and others see themselves as reasonable parts of the American business scene. Microsoft is like SCO, only more successful.
Ignorantchristian is like Tristan at ShelleytheRepublican. Tristan hails from Tuttle Oklahoma, and apparently was one of the local government IT gurus (along with the Tuttle city manager who infamously threatened the developers of CentOS with hell fire for no sane reason).

Gray goes the distance for River Cats
Athletics right-hander allows one run over nine-inning gem
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | May 1, 2013 9:58 PM ET
For as long as he can remember, Sonny Gray has thrown a sinking fastball. Its importance has only been amplified as he's moved up through the baseball ranks, and while it's still not perfect, it's pretty close to where he wants it to be.
On Wednesday, it was as sharp as it's ever been.
Oakland's No. 6 prospect allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six batters over nine innings in the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats' 4-1 win over the host Fresno Grizzlies.
"This is probably the best start I've had in pro ball," Gray said. "I would say that my fastball was pretty efficient tonight and that, because they were being pretty aggressive, I was able to get ahead.
"My changeup was really good and my curveball was there when I needed it. They had been aggressive the first two nights, so I knew they would be tonight. I was able to keep the fastball down and change speeds and get them to swing early in the count and get soft contact."
It was the Tennessee native's second career complete game and the first time he's thrown more than eight innings. He scattered eight hits over seven innings in Midland's 5-0 win over Corpus Christi last July 18 the only other time he went the distance, but he said he relied more on his breaking pitches that day.
Gray retired the first 10 batters he faced Wednesday before issuing a one-out walk to Kensuke Tanaka in the fourth inning. Roger Kieschnick beat out an infield single to third base and Brett Pill singled on a line drive to left field to break up the shutout.
Cole Gillespie walked to load the bases, but Gray -- the club's second-best pitching prospect behind Dan Straily -- struck out Johnny Monell to escape the jam.
Fresno threatened again in the seventh when Pill doubled to left field and Gillespie reached on a single to third base. The Vanderbilt product induced a popup off the bat off Johnny Monell and an inning-ending 4-6-3 double play to erase the threat. Then he set the side down in order over the final two innings to complete the victory.
"The double play was very important," said Gray, who threw 60 of 94 pitches for strikes. "You want to keep your defense in the game all night. I would absolutely consider myself a guy who pitches to contact and ... I have four or five really good players behind me."
The victory helped Gray improve to 3-1 and lower his ERA to 2.61. It was also a solid bounceback effort for the 23-year-old who gave up a season-high eight hits to Salt Lake in his last start on Thursday.
"I've always felt that my sinker, my fastball, is what I always had growing up. That's the way it's always been. Last year [the A's] preached to me about fastball command and changing speeds with it. My fastball command has been OK, but it's not as good as I need it to be, so I focused on it. I was working on it in Spring Training and all this winter and I'm still getting better with it.
"Ground balls that got through against Salt Lake were hit more at the defense tonight. That's a credit to them, also to my catcher Stephen [Vogt]. I didn't shake him off tonight, we were on the same page from the get-go."
The River Cats got offensive support from designated hitter Shane Peterson, who was 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, and from center fielder Michael Choice, who hit his fifth longball of the year.
"Oh man," Gray said of the solo shot to left field."It was a very, very hard-hit ball. It was one of those balls when you come to the ballpark and you tell someone where it went, it's hard to believe. I would say he got all of it.
"When I was still in college, we played together on Team USA in the Tokyo Dome in Japan and he was hitting balls to the top corner of that dome. He's got a lot of power and we're lucky to have him in our lineup."

18 Once when Jesus* was praying alone, with only the disciples near him, he asked them, Who do the crowds say that I am? 19They answered, John the Baptist; but others, Elijah; and still others, that one of the ancient prophets has arisen. 20He said to them, But who do you say that I am? Peter answered, The Messiah* of God.
21 He sternly ordered and commanded them not to tell anyone, 22saying, The Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.
23 Then he said to them all, If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it.

Tattoo Stories with Flo Rida
Listen to Flo Rida on iHeartRadio
Flo Rida is known for making bona fide hip-pop hits. His last album, Wild Ones, spawned the top ten club bangers "Good Feeling," "I Cry," and the title track featuring Sia, as well as #1 single "Whistle."
Flo is known not only for having something of a golden touch when it comes to hits, but also for his high-energy performances and A-list collaborations. Enter Pitbull. Mr. 305 joins Flo Rida on his latest single, "Can't Believe It" - a song from his upcoming album, The Perfect 10, due out later this year.
Buy "I Can't Believe It" ft. Pitbull on iTunes
"We're from Miami - you know hot beaches, hot women," Flo Rida says of the inspiration for the new single, which was also partly inspired by Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back." He also says he's constantly influenced by the artists around him. "Artists from Miami that are doing very well such as Rick Ross, such as my man Pitbull – they inspire me to keep going as long as they're going. I'm self motivated, but just to see them, it makes me work ten times harder. Shout out to [Pitbull] for helping making this record what it is."
But the story behind where the song was recorded is even more inspired. "The coincidence was the fact that I recorded this record inside the same studio Michael Jackson did Thriller out in L.A., and then I got Pitbull's verse back and he said something about Michael Jackson, not even knowing that I had recorded this whole record until I worked with him. That was something that stood out. The acoustics in that room were so crazy... they had speakers on the ceiling! I've never seen this in any studio, where the speakers are up in the ceiling - he used to lay down on the floor and listen to the music. I had to lay down just to get the feeling."
Flo Rida stopped by the iHeartRadio Headquarters while he was in New York recently, and in addition to talking to us about his new single and upcoming album, he also let us in on the significance of a few of his many tats. Check out Tattoo Stories with Flo Rida below.
On his first tattoo:
"My first tattoo... I got it about eight years ago," Flo tells iHeartRadio. "Jimi Hendrix. I was wondering, 'What will the pain be like?' I was super nervous. And if I did get a tattoo, it had to be someone worthy. Jimi Hendrix... I've always been a fan of his work - [he's a] rock star legend. When he's performing, he's just electrifying, and I'm always trying to captivate my fans, not just with the records, but when I'm performing as well."
Flo Rida admits it wasn't a walk in the park. "I remember sitting there, putting this numbing cream on, trying to stop the pain. My boys went and bought me some lemon pepper chicken wings to throw me off. I don't even like going to the doctor to get shots!"
His thoughts on Andre 3000 portraying Jimi Hendrix in the upcoming biopic:
"I look forward to it. I look forward to watching it. Andre's definitely a legend within himself as well, and a lot of us artists have been inspired by great singers. I think he'll do a great job."
On having artists who have inspired him inked on his chest:
"I have Tina Turner - I have her whole body. And I have James Brown, Ray Charles. I went to the library and stayed there for hours and hours. [The tattoo artist] was like, 'We gotta make sure we go to the library, sit down. You gotta really think about this; it's something that you're gonna have for life,' and that's what I did with every tattoo."
On the tattoo that caused him the most pain:
"This one right here (points to the inside of his right wrist). It's a verse from the Bible. I guess in this area right here there's a lot of veins... it was so much pain. Veins brings pain!"
Flo Rida says he's done with the ink... for now anyway. "No more tats, I'm done," he says. "Unless... you never know!"

Malaysia denies jet flew 4 hours after signal lost
(NEWSER) – The mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370has become even more baffling: US investigators believe the plane flew on for four hours after its last contact with air traffic controllers, meaning it could be anywhere in a huge area ranging from India to Australia to the southern tip of Japan, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal that cites "two people familiar with the details." But Malaysia's transportation minister wasted no time in quashing the WSJreport; calling it "inaccurate," he claims that both Boeing and Rolls Royce (the maker of the engines) also deny it, and says no transmissions were received from the plane after it lost contact, CNN reports.

Topic: Erbitux / Gemzar
Dear Fellow Friends,
My dad is on his 2nd regimen of Chemotherapy. After his 1st regiment of FOLFOX (Oxaliplatin, Leucorovin, 5-FU) his CA 19-9 index continued to rise and reached 1450.
Doctors decided to change his regimen to Erbitux (Cetuximab) / Gemzar and today we had some figures back from the doctors, his liver enzymes have fallen, and his CA 19-9 index now at 134. Will follow up with MRI and let you know results.
Best Wishes to all!

2011 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Joseph Barksdale, OT, LSU
Barksdale was a standout defensive tackle in high school, but he was asked to switch over to the offensive side of the ball prior to his freshman season at LSU. He obliged, and the move has paid off for both Barksdale and the Tigers. He played in all 14 games as a freshman in 2007, backing up right tackle Carnell Stewart. Barksdale started all 13 games in 2008, and he started all 12 regular-season contests in his current junior campaign. LSU's rushing attack gained more than 166 yards per outing last year (fourth in the SEC) behind a stellar offensive line, and although the Tiger offense has not exactly taken off in 2009, Barksdale could be the most improved player on the team. He has been instrumental in opening up running lanes for Charles Scott (4.7 yards per carry) and Keiland Williams (5.3 ypc), as well as pass-blocking for Jordan Jefferson. Although mostly overshadowed by heralded left tackle Ciron Black, you can bet Barksdale will be making a name for himself as the 2010 NFL Draft approaches (assuming he leaves Baton Rouge early rather than return for a senior season). It would not be unfair to argue that Barksdale has been LSU's best offensive lineman in 2009, nor would it be unfair to say that Barksdale is a better pro prospect than Black (who is a potential first-round pick in his own right). While Black is a massive run-blocker, Barksdale is more versatile and better at protecting the quarterback. He stands at 6'5'' and 315 pounds, and he runs under 5.0 in the 40-yard dash. He has even been clocked as low as 4.86 at that distance; some impressive speed for a man of his size. Barksdale does not project as a franchise left tackle at the moment, but he has the tools to potentially switch to that more prestigious position at some point down the road. Look for Barksdale to go off the board in the second round of the draft, and a first-round selection is not out of the question if he performs well at the combine.

Miscellaneous ramblings
Shameless self promotion: Okay, so Open Source Reporter has a store at Cafe Press and I made up some "Sue me first, Steve!" FOSS-wear at various prices — mostly T-shirts, but also some other items (no, I opted out from the thong underwear, unless the demand for "Sue me first, Steve!" underwear picks up . . . ). So help me out so I can print the magazine by buying something and send Darth Ballmer and Microsoft a message in the process.
Distro du jour: With two Indigo iMacs, the trusty Power Macintosh G3 minitower (with the Sonnet G4 upgrade) seems to be somewhat expendable these days. So . . . it now has Yellow Dog, but it doesn't have to. I'm thinking about trying one more time to get Debian up and running on it (after all, I did take the time to burn 15 CD-ROMs — sheesh). But I keep hoping Fluxbuntu will have its PowerPC version up and running — a visit to their site had some PowerPC screen shots that were pretty impressive. All of which is to say, "watch this space."
Here comes the Sun: Sun Microsystems brought its world tour to UC Santa Cruz this week, and on the whole it was pretty impressive. During the presentation about Sun's open source offerings (the Java part was pretty interesting), they said that they were releasing one of their items under GPL v.2. I asked about whether they had planned to adopt v.3, but I ended up getting a very roundabout answer from the presenter — a member of the audience straightened both of us out, though.

My Thanksgiving came early and complete with stuffing, bourbon maple mashed sweet potatoes, and a pumpkin pie.
Oh and there was a quiz to test my Australian knowledge at a table full of people dressed like the Crocodile Hunter and Dame Edna. No biggie.
I didn't do too bad, actually. I've got the koala key chain and beer koozie to prove it. (Yes, there were totally prizes, even though I was the only contestant.)
But did I mention that there was bourbon maple sweet potatoes? So yeah. No complaints here.
A girl's got to pay her dues if she's marrying into an Australian family. Especially if they've been so nice as to actually have a Thanksgiving.

After a controversial debut, which included nearly 400 "Likes" and it's own parody post on Yobeat.com Jade "Jelly" McLain approached Snowboarder for a raise. After consulting with the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, it was determined that Jade was already receiving the maximum amount of course credit they allow per internship.
Jade's second Internview is with the greatest snowboarder of the new millenium, Travis Rice. Once again our not so angry intern digs deep with hard hitting questions about heli boarding, having braces and a little event Travis is putting on this winter called Red Bull's Supernatural. Be sure to check back Thursday for part two of Jade's Internview with Travis Rice.

So, I couldn't help but notice that as of now, Tuesday June 25, 2013 @ 0730, the forecast is dead red from LBI all the way down to ... Georgia
Georgia...? Georgia?! Does this mean it's time to pack the boards, grab the banjo & road trip it to Tybee Island?!
