Alaska became a territory in 1912 and didn't join the Union until 1959, but its heritage stretches back thousands of years when Asians from Siberia crossed the Bering Strait on the Beringia "land bridge." Their descendants include today's Athabascan, Haida, Tlingit, Aleut and Inuit (Eskimo) peoples, who make up a seventh of Alaska's population. The remainder claims a variety of heritages, particularly German, Irish, English, Norwegian, Russian and Asian.
Russian fur traders had established a permanent settlement on Kodiak Island in 1784 and reached Sitka in 1799. Their nation governed the vast land until 1867, when the United States purchased it. In 1896, fortune seekers in Canada's Klondike Gold Rush traveled through Alaska; later strikes in Nome (1898) and Fairbanks (1902) spurred the state's own gold rush. Opportunity continued to inspire northward migration: During the Great Depression, the US government relocated 203 Midwestern farming families to Palmer.

maureen - from Lisbon Falls, ME
The difference between cake flour and all-purpose flour has to do with the amount of protein in the flour. Cake flour generally has about 6-8% protein and all-purpose has about 11%. Lower protein means a more tender cake, which is why some recipes call for cake flour instead of all-purpose flour.
In most recipes, it is okay to substitute all-purpose flour, but the ratio is not 1:1. For 1 cup of cake flour, subsitute 1 cup MINUS 2 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Because of the higher protein content, you need to use a little bit less flour.
This substitution will work in nearly all recipes, but your cake will not be quite as tender as it would have been if made using cake flour.

No-Fault Insurance
In most states, insurance companies make payments based on each person's degree of fault in a particular motor vehicle accident. However, other states have adopted some form of a no-fault system of insurance. To find out whether your state operates under a no-fault system, read your auto insurance policy (Personal Injury Protection is often the heading for the part of a policy that provides no-fault coverage), or consult your insurance agent.
How does no-fault insurance work?
No-fault insurance provides that your own insurance company will pay medical bills you incur due to an auto accident, regardless of who or what caused the accident. In most no-fault states, your company will also pay to replace your lost income, for someone to perform essential services you can no longer perform (e.g., cleaning, cooking), for funeral expenses (in worst-case scenarios), and for benefits to your survivors. The idea is to speed fair payments and avoid costly litigation. It is thought that lower auto insurance premiums should result from a lower incidence of lawsuits.
Pure no-fault
Under a pure no-fault system, your insurer would pay for any monetary damages (e.g., medical bills, lost wages) up to the policy limit, and you would be completely prohibited from suing a negligent driver for nonmonetary damages (e.g., pain and suffering, loss of companionship). Currently, no states function under a pure no-fault system.
Modified no-fault
Most of the no-fault states have adopted a modified no-fault system. This means that your insurer still pays for your covered monetary damages up to your policy's limit, but you may be allowed to sue for nonmonetary damages if your bills exceed a specified amount. This amount varies from state to state. Other states won't allow you to bring a lawsuit unless their definition of a serious injury (e.g., broken bones, severed limbs) is met. These definitions establish a verbal rather than a monetary threshold.
What is choice no-fault?
Choice no-fault (versions of which have been implemented in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and New Jersey) is another hybrid of the pure no-fault system. Under this plan, you can choose whether you want to give up your right to sue for damages (similar to a pure no-fault plan) or retain some of your rights to sue for damages (similar to a modified no-fault plan). If you choose the latter option, your right to sue is limited. If you have an accident with a driver who has opted for the pure no-fault option, you won't be able to sue that driver.

Rusty and Iris Questions
Discussion/Critical Thinking
-How can we better prevent cats, raccoons, and squirrels from bothering Rusty and Iris?
-How can we prevent owls from being poisoned by rodenticides when the USDA says they need to be legal to control rats and mice and the diseases they spread, and the manufacturers have lots of money to tie up any restrictions in the courts for years? (Grade 4)
-In what ways are Rusty and Iris different? In what ways are they the same?
-How much food is needed for each owl per year (in gophers, mice and rabbits, by percentage)?
-If gophers stop digging at the end of October and don't start digging until April 1, how many gophers, mice, rats and rabbits are needed to be stockpiled for the winter?
-How much does it cost to feed the owls per year?
-How much does it cost for the internet stream per year?
-If Ustream pays half of the ad revenue to the cam host if the viewership is over 1,000, and the ad revenue is $x/viewer hour, how much money would the Houston Nature Center earn if there were 5,645 viewer hours in March?
-If someone makes a $100 donation using PayPal, and PayPal takes x%, how much actually goes to the project? What if the person is from another country and PayPal takes a currency conversion fee also?
-If you were given $5,000 and these cameras to choose from (PTZ, fixed, field of view noted), which cameras would you get and where would you put them?
-If Alice's egg weighs 58g, and after Hein blows out the insides the shell weighs 12g, how much did the egg yolk and white weigh?
-Which vocalizations are made by which owl? In what context?
-Can you tell the owls apart by their territorial hoots?
-What affects how often the owls hoot? Month of the year? Moon phase? Rain or snow? Wind? Breeding cycle?
Go Outside
-Look for potential nests in your area (school property, town, park, etc.)
-Look for owl roosts—see if you can find owl pellets, poop, or feathers
-Try to call in wild owls (do NOT do this on a regular basis in the same area or during nesting season, as it tricks the owls into thinking there is an intruder in their territory)
-Put up artificial Great Horned Owl nest structures (laundry basket or other design...look on the internet to see what they can use). Get a local business with a boom truck to install them.
The International Owl Center advances the survival of wild owl populations through education and research. We plan to accomplish our mission through biological and cultural programs and displays, green building design, citizen-science and other research, international exchange of information, the World Owl Hall of Fame, the International Festival of Owls, and other means.

Mindy Kaling's show is about to be canceled. That doesn't mean she isn't funny and a great actress and worthy to be included in the women of television issue for Elle. She makes way more sense then Allison Williams who has one role on an ensemble show on a pay tv network. Elle does not like women who are larger than a size zero. You won't see models on their cover who are larger. The only time they make any exception to the policy is with actresses. They hate to do that and have used some very creative ways of making sure that you think the person on the cover is much smaller than in reality.
For it's issue this month Elle chose four women for four separate covers. With the exception of Mindy, all the women got full body photos in sexy clothes in bright vivid color. The very curvy and sexy Mindy got a black and white photo of her face and chest area. No one would have said a peep about it except for the decision by Elle to have the other women dressed and highlighted as they were. I bet Elle never makes this mistake again and just eliminates separate cover issues or just finds someone who is less curvy.

K-State Explodes for Nine First-Inning Runs in 15-2 Win
K-State Explodes for Nine First-Inning Runs in 15-2 Win
April 6, 2013
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State jumped out of the gate with nine runs in the first inning, highlighted by a Jon Davis grand slam, en route to a 15-2 victory over Texas Tech Saturday afternoon at Tointon Family Stadium.
The Wildcats improved to 22-10 overall and 5-3 in Big 12 play with the win while taking the season series from the Red Raiders for the third-straight year and the eighth time in the last 12 seasons. The Wildcats also improved to 18-5 at home and have won nine-straight games at Tointon Family Stadium. Texas Tech fell to 17-16 overall and 4-7 in league action.
Kansas State used the momentum from Friday-night's walk-off win early in Saturday's contest as it sent 13 men to the plate in the first inning, including the first seven batters who reached base and scored. Davis' first-career grand slam over the right-field wall followed a Blair DeBord RBI single, marking the score 5-0.
Following a hit-by-pitch and a walk, Texas Tech starter Jonny Drozd (3-3) threw a first-pitch ball to Damion Lovato and was quickly pulled from the game in favor of Nathan Bauder. Bauder tried to put out the fire by forcing a fly out and a ground out, but Ross Kivett, Shane Conlon and Jared King each produced two-out RBI hits – including a King double to right field – to complete the nine-run frame.
"We really had a lot of good at-bats in the first inning," head coach Brad Hill said. "Sometimes the ball finds a couple holes. Shane found the middle and Blair had a two-strike hit. If those ground balls find gloves, that changes the whole inning. Jon had the dagger with another two-strike hit for the grand slam. We just kept it rolling from there."
The nine-run frame tied Kansas State's highest run output in a single inning in Big 12 play. The Wildcats also scored nine in the second inning at Texas Tech in a 16-5 victory in 2006.
A product of Juneau, Alaska, Davis finished the game 4-for-4 with four RBI as he registered three singles before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. He tallied career highs in both hits and RBI, while he hit the first grand slam by a Wildcat since Wade Hinkle at Texas A&M on March 16 last season.
Davis' homer was the first of four by K-State on the day as the Wildcats continually put the ball into the jet stream towards right field. Conlon hit a three-run shot off the scoreboard as part of a four-run third inning to put the Wildcats on top, 13-0. The Naperville, Ill., native set at career high with four RBI as part of a 3-for-6 effort, while Conlon and Davis each hit their team-leading fifth home runs of the season.
King blasted his third homer of the year, a solo shot in the fourth inning, while K-State's final run of the day was a Mitch Meyer pinch-hit homer to lead off the seventh. It was Meyer's first home run of the season and the first pitch-hit homer by a K-State hitter since 2010.
K-State's four home runs were the most in a game since May 4, 2010, against CSU Bakersfield.
Kivett tied his career high in hits by going 4-for-4, while he also matched a career best with three runs scored. He was one of three Wildcats, along with Conlon and King, to tie career highs by scoring three times. Additionally, the top six hitters in the K-State lineup each registered multi-hit games, combining to go 15-for-20 with 12 RBI.
K-State starter Matt Wivinis (5-1) cruised to his team-leading fifth victory of the year as he surrendered only an unearned run on six hits with no walks and four strikeouts in six innings. Aided by the nine-run first inning, Wivinis was able to attack the zone as 69 of his 96 pitches went for strikes.
"He was good," Hill said of Wivinis. "Sometimes when you get a big inning, you can get sloppy. I thought Blair went out and talked to him one time, which was good. He got him focused with what he needed to do. It was just a matter of keep pumping strikes. They were going to need a lot of hits to beat us. He just kept pumping strikes and made them put the ball in play."
Freshman Hayden Nixon earned his first-career save by effectively pitching the final three innings. The left-hander inherited a runner with no outs in the seventh inning as Mason Randolph reached base when he hit a hard line drive off the arm of newly-inserted pitcher Landon Busch, which forced the freshman to exit after only one batter.
Randolph scored Texas Tech's second run of the day when Tim Proudfoot hit a RBI ground out, but Nixon finished the game by allowing just one hit and striking out three in three scoreless innings.
The 15 runs scored by K-State Saturday afternoon tied for the sixth-most in a Big 12 game in school history, matching last year's 15 runs in the series opener at Texas A&M. K-State's 13-run margin of victory tied for the second highest in program history, one shy of 14-run wins at Nebraska in 2009 and at Iowa State in 1998.
The Wildcats and Red Raiders conclude their Big 12 series on Sunday with a 1 p.m., contest at Tointon Family Stadium. Sunday is a Family Day as four general admission bench tickets and four concession vouchers are available for $30, while all kids in attendance can run the bases after the game. Sunday is also Bring Your Dog to the Park Day.
Fans can order tickets online at www.k-statesports.com/tickets or at the stadium box office beginning at 12 p.m. The game will be televised nationally on Fox College Sports, while listeners in the Manhattan area can hear the contest on SportsRadio 1350 KMAN. Free live audio is also available online at both www.k-statesports.com and www.1350kman.com.

"Got one from ya a few years back for my 70 chevelle 454 works great! ya probably won't believe me but the thing doubled my mileage had to check it a few times thought I was seeing things, The mileage went from 8.5 to 17 mpg for mod 454 I thought that was pretty good"
"2 dry cells, reservoir, 1 quad digital EFIE, 1 reg digital EFIE, 2 MAP enhancers (dual style). I have them almost 2 years and the products are working fine. Good quality products at a reasonable price and technical help. Low maintenance, good quality. Good installation instructions and troubleshooting info. Longevity and low maintenance, and consistent performance. The MAP enhancer is especially good compared to the one I made because it has a wider adjustment potential. The generators don't discolor the water like the wet cells did. I also like the dry cells because it circulates the water and doesn't heat up. Thanks for the tech support."
"31mpg! CITY! 100% increase! 2000 Toyota 4 Runner, 4 cyl. 2.7litres. I'm quite amazed. I did a long road trip, and quite skeptical, had to pull over every 40 miles or so to test results by refilling at the next gas station. I got 30mpg's highway, and when I dialed my EFIE, 31.5mpgs IN CITY. Awesome stuff guys. I'm getting 100% increase in mpg."
"I'm seeing about 25% increase in fuel economy so I know the system is working. My vehicle is a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.9L gas engine."
"I used the HHO system very effectively for about 2 years on my 85 Mercedes 500SL. I enjoyed this experiment and consistently got 25% more mileage when the system was in use. It really helped when you have an engine that only gets 18 mpg it was a great experience for about 4 years. Keep up the innovative work. I think you are part of a grass roots effort that is pushing the big auto makers to finally start taking mileage and the environment seriously."
"I have one of the systems currently running on my Dodge truck (440 cid), I am getting better than 20%, although I do a lot of in town driving and it messes with the fuel efficiency. On the open road I get much better. Running less than 20 amps most of the time."

EFIEs and Electronics
"I have been using your digital and analog EFIE's for more than 3 years, and yes, they work well. Because you are very serious about your work and product, I believe they are the best on the market! Your EFIE's are very well build, easy to install, nice addons such as probe holes. Gains vary between vehicles but 15 30 % average. These digital EFIE's are hard needed when you install a watergas system in a fuel-injected petrol vehicle. They are well thought-out, well designed and well build and made to last a long time. I have not seen better quality EFIE's on the market! I'm sure that the other products Fuelsaver-MPG sell are of same the quality."
F.G. Netherlands
"I use many of your EFIEs, and a couple of MAP/MAF devices about 4 years. They are working without a problem. I get about 40%+ fuel savings with HHO. Quick good service - get what I order. Operational always, with good installation instructions. Usually, with older cars, they are not really needed. But, since the inclusion of fuel computers and lambdas on vehicles, the need for oxygen sensor control is very necessary, requiring EFIEs and MAP/MAF devices to regulate the proper fuel/air (HHO) mixtures. FuelSaver-MPG products have never let me down and the price is right."
D.G. Moscow
"I am using a digital and analog EFIE on a 2002 Subaru. I have been using them for about two years. I get about 25-30% gain. I found your company on line. It appears you folks do a good job. Qualities: Follow thru, quick turn around, quality product, good value. Review: I began experimenting with HHO in 2008. I have always believed that we spend way too much on fuel and find enjoyment in cutting the costs down thru other alternative methods... namely Hydrogen. Nay sayers think it BS. I know there are MPG gains to be had."
"My old truck passed the Texas exhaust inspection after failing the day before without it. I replaced the o2 sensor and added one of your EFIE units. I have an old 1995 Chevy 3/4 ton four wheel drive pickup that I love."

What's your threshold of comfort with leaving your kids alone in a room?
Let's assume for the sake of debate that the kids are in a babyproofed room and are alone (no siblings or adults around).
Would you leave them in the room alone to use the bathroom? Shower? Cook? Get groceries from the car? Check mail? Take out the trash? Borrow something from a neighbor?
What's your comfort level?
I'm personally fine with any of the above, and have done all of them with my kid(s) left alone in the room.

I'm SAD. Not the morose, unhappy emotion that many people feel but SAD, as in Seasonal Affective Disorder.
I have suffered from this problem for as long as I can remember, but it was only 10-12 years ago that I was able to put a name on the feelings, the very real feelings I endure for about six weeks out of every year.
It's more than winter doldrums. It's more than just a case of melancholia, because even when I don't feel especially depressed, I have absolutely no energy to complete the most simple of everyday tasks.

I'm not sure about Hydra, but the MSF ssh_login module has a STOP_ON_SUCCESS option. Presumably if you set this to false, the module will continue guessing passwords, even if it thinks it has already found a valid one.
I am an IT administrator for a small 'Mom and Pop' type alarm business. I am in the process of conducting a penetration test and I am currently testing our hardware firewall for vulnerabilities, a Dell SonicWALL TZ 210.
This little bugger has a very clever trick to prevent bruteforce/dictionary password attacks: Instead of providing the login prompt immediately upon connection, the server "eats" whatever the user's first input happens to be and THEN issues the login prompt. The effect of this is that the two main tools I'm experienced in using in this type of situation (hydra and MSF's auxiliary/scanner/ssh/ssh_login) are useless; they think they successfully guessed the password on the first try regardless of the user/pass combo when they really haven't.
Normally I would move on to the next target on my list to test but I want to be thorough because the gateway to our building's network is important to have locked down tight and I'm sure given enough time someone will think of something that I didn't, so I ask the experts: is there an obvious way to overcome this obstacle that I'm not seeing?
I'm not sure about Hydra, but the MSF ssh_login module has a STOP_ON_SUCCESS option. Presumably if you set this to false, the module will continue guessing passwords, even if it thinks it has already found a valid one.
Just copy the ssh_login module creating your own that sends some initial garbage before actually trying the login attempt.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
@thorin: That sounds like it might work. However, I've never edited any of the scripts before. Are there any tutorials that you would recommend as a reference?

Buildings and Fleet Energy Efficiencies Put GSA on Path to Meet
May 14, 2007
Contact: Viki Reath, (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – The U.S. General Services Administration operates its buildings at 5 percent below comparable commercial buildings and pays 12 percent less for utilities, GSA Administrator Lurita Doan testified at Friday's House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing on "Climate Change and Energy Independence: Transportation and Infrastructure Issues."
GSA reduced energy consumption of its inventory by 4.7 percent in Fiscal Year 2006. The reduction is consistent with the goal of President Bush's January Executive Order 13423 requiring a 30 perecent reduction by FY 2015.
"I am proud of the leadership GSA has demonstrated in the federal community to meet or exceed targets set in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and by President Bush's Executive Order," said Administrator Doan.
Additional GSA environmental achievements and future plans include:
• GSA's Alternative-Fuel-Vehicles (AFVs) inventory consists of 62,424 AFVs and 351 Hybrid Energy Vehicles, amounting to 31 percent of the total GSA Fleet.
• GSA uses wind, solar and other innovative renewable energy sources in its buildings.
• Award-winning, energy-efficient buildings that incorporate sustainable design principles, such as the Charles E. Bennett Federal Building in Jacksonville, Fla., which cut energy consumption by more than 60 percent, a savings equal to the amount needed to provide energy to 208 homes for one year.
• GSA leads the development of alternative workplace arrangements for the federal community and, along with the Office of Personnel Management, is a co-lead agency for federal telework.
• GSA is working with USDA to identify opportunities to increase use of biobased products.
• GSA, the Customs and Border Protection and Federal Highway Administration are developing "survivability" strategies for land Ports of Entry, potentially taking remote Ports of Entry "off the grid."
• GSA is working to integrate power controls into IT operations.

New Employees
Welcome to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, where we hope that your association will be personally and professionally gratifying. As an employee of the Buck Institute, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have joined a research community dedicated to extending the healthy, productive years of life.
Our New Employee Relocating Information is intended to help you become acquainted with the community and region where the Buck Institute is located and to direct you to resources to help in your relocation plans and initial relocation.
Location and Driving Directions to the Buck Institute
Travel by Air
The Buck Institute is 42 miles from San Francisco International Airport, with the Marin Airporter, providing convenient shuttle service between SF0 and Marin County, and 40 miles from Oakland International Airport. The Marin Airporter will stop in Novato, also will stop at the Novato Oaks Best Western in Novato upon request.
Bay Area Universities
The Buck Institute is located 29 miles from the University of California, San Francisco Parnassus Campus, and not much further from the UCSF Mission Bay campus. We are 30 miles from the University of California, Berkeley, 63 miles from Stanford University and 62 miles from the University of California, Davis.
An Overview of the Bay Area:
Marin, Napa, San Francisco and Sonoma Counties
The counties in the San Francisco Bay Area offer a rich diversity of cities and communities, and all are within a reasonable proximity to the Buck Institute. Marin County is comprised of 13 unique cities and towns, as well as a variety of communities in a large and relatively rural, unincorporated region. The Buck Institute is situated on Mt. Burdell in Novato, the northernmost city in Marin County.
Regionally, the Buck Institute is 30 miles from the city of Berkeley and 36 miles from downtown San Francisco. It is 29 miles to Napa Valley, and 20 miles to Sonoma.
Finances – Living Expenses
In the Bay Area and Marin County, living expenses, such as food and public transportation, will probably compare favorably with those of your home country. However, visitors should prepare for housing to be a significant expense. Additionally, transportation may be a major expense if you decide to purchase an automobile.
We recommend that new arrivals bring enough money -- a minimum of $3,000 -- to cover initial expenses, including transportation to the Buck Institute, temporary housing, apartment deposits, meals, etc. In general, a monthly budget would include approximately $1,000 to $1,600 for housing and utilities. This will be based on the location and type of rental unit selected. New employees bringing a spouse and children, should plan to budget additional funds for housing and living expenses. If you plan to purchase an automobile, you will need to include the costs for auto insurance and registration. Automobile insurance can cost approximately $1,000 per year and automobile registration approximately $200 per year, depending upon the price of a used car.
Taxes: Moving Expenses [IRS Publication 521, Moving Expenses]. The Internal Revenue Service specifically identifies the cost of security deposits, including any given up due to a move, as an unallowable moving expenses.
Housing Costs
Rates change and may be higher
As with much of the Bay Area, rental prices in Marin County (for apartments, townhouses and homes) tend to be high.
For Example:
Average costs for 1 bedroom unfurnished units in Marin County: $900 - $1,400
Average costs for 2 bedroom unfurnished units in Marin County: $1,600 - $1,900
To give you a better idea of housing costs and the types of available rentals in Marin County, a sample newspaper listing of rental units in Marin County is enclosed in your pre-arrival orientation packet.
Housing Deposit
You will need to pay a deposit when you rent housing. Usually, this will require that you pay your first month's rent, plus last month's rent, and/or a smaller amount as a security damage deposit.
To extend your options for locating housing in a more affordable range, consider looking for housing north of Marin County. Petaluma, in Sonoma County, is located just 11 miles north of Novato and rental prices are a little lower there. New employees may also want to consider sharing rental housing or rooms that are for rent in homes.
Once you have located housing, you will need to contact utility companies to establish basic services (telephone, gas and/or electric and water). The Exchange Visitor Office/Human Resource Department can provide you with the names and telephone numbers of the utility companies in the area where you locate housing. Utility costs will vary depending upon your rental unit. When you look at housing, ask if any utilities are included in the cost of the rental. Water and garbage are usually included in apartment rentals. Ask what the typical utility costs are for each place that you consider renting. Plan to pay approximately $50 - $150 for utilities, depending upon your usage and the size of your rental.
Prior to your arrival in Novato, you may contact the local utility companies in order to establish new service. The two main companies are:
Pacific Gas and Electric Company
Temporary and Long-Term Housing
One of your immediate concerns may be locating temporary or long-term housing. As you begin your housing search, a tool for mapping directions can be found at MapQuest.com.

1. The Downtown Art Walk last week was a lot of fun once again. This time I walked around a bit more and spent some time perusing some of the galleries, and I realized just how absurdly out of place my illustrations are amidst most of the other work. Of course, that actually makes it more fun. After seeing dozens of oil paintings of horses or art school caliber "abstract installations" of painted bicycle parts hanging from ceilings, no one's expecting to see cereal mascots and dead children, so the reactions are often priceless. Anyway, Jennie posted some pics from the Possum Saloon show here.
2. Last month I helped Tamar with a Reebok ad she was shooting for Metro.pop magazine. She was inspired by my Robot Block Party image and felt the aesthetic would fit perfectly with the, er, colorful shoes. The end result is the second page spread in this month's issue, and it looks really great, especially considering how hideous those shoes are. Click the thumbnail below to see the full sized image over on Tamar's site:
3. Since I've been playing with Facebook a bit recently, I broke down and made a Facebook page. Aside from being a lot easier to update than my in-need-of-renovation portfolio, it will quell the anxiety of those who keep asking me why I don't have a Facebook page. Please add me if you use Facebook, my newborn page is sad and lonely at the moment.
4. I felt guilty making another post without any artwork, so I did this little one-minute doodle:
I like drawing things without thinking much about them, then trying to piece together all the subconscious influences that went into them. In this one I'm reminded of the wonderful Isz from Sam Keith's The Maxx, which I used to love once upon a time. There's also some Piranha Plant in there, and some of the creatures from the great first Oddworld game on Playstation, and some Ankylosaurus from this old dinosaur book that I had when I was a kid, pre-Jurassic Park when bipedal dinosaurs were still depicted standing upright with their tails dragging on the ground. Ah, those were the days.

Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

WTF, is it just me or is 499$ way to much for 1.5m of Cat5?
Denon's 1.5 meter (59 in.) ultra premium Denon Link cable was designed for the audio enthusiast. Made from high purity copper wire and high performance connection parts, the AK-DL1 will bring out all the nuances in digital audio reproduction from any of our Denon DVD players with the Denon Link feature. Attention to detail when building this cable was used by empoying high quality insulation, tin-bearing alloy shielding and woven jacketing to reduce vibration and to add durability. Additionally, signal directional markings are provided for optimum signal transfer. Rounded plug levers help prevent breakage.
*/ Mod's : I know this is a WTF more then a Funny,*/
But, the audiophiles are extremely funny to watch when they gather around their gear, sit in their armchairs, sip a nice cognacs and start talking "music". Like,
"see, I told you this cables can pronounce those fourty hertz freqs much, much better than the others. And just hear those beautiful 19 and a half kilohertzes. You cannot get better than this cables..." , and so on and on.
But then again, everyone probably has some kind of hobby...
Beer is served only to members of the trade union!
Years ago I worked in a place that sold top end Audio equipment and we also sold cable that went from ~.02€ per meter upto 25-30€ per meter.
There was always people that were looking for the best OXS gold plated cables. The funnest thing was are demo room was wired with a std. 79 stand cable that retailed for ~.70€ per meter {we were making >800% profit on this}.
This is also a funny read.....

A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
We could always start selling Wifi Speed Spray as well...
The patented formula in WiFi Speed Spray is the result of years of scientific research and testing. Simply spray the area around your computer. Usually five or six sprays is all it takes. As your computer sends data, each bit also carries hundreds of invisible WiFi Speed Spray "scrubbing" molecules. It works at the speed of light. and even penetrates lead walls (not even Superman can do that!). Within .0025 seconds, the entire path between you and the receiver is cleaned, scrubbed, polished, and sanitized. You'll notice the improvement immediately as your productivity soars!.
Wifi Speed Spray lasts up to one hour under normal conditions. When you notice that things are slowing down, just grab your handy WiFi Speed Spray and reapply. It's easy!

Power Issue In Brick Township Heating Up [POLL/AUDIO]
While most Jersey Central Power and Light customers in Ocean and Monmouth Counties have been restored to full power, there is a section of Brick Township that remains in the dark today. It was an area that has hard-hit by Hurricane Sandy.
15 days later, the controversy over why the electric is off is brewing.
Some have pointed fingers at the utility company while irate residents are looking at the leadership of the community as the problem.
According to JCP&L, they need to know which houses have compromised electrical systems due to rising flood waters.
The boxes and meters inside and outside the homes could be damaged or destroyed by Mother Nature's wrath. Those will need to be pulled, repaired or replaced and inspected before the company can authorize the resumption of power.
Company spokesman Ron Morano tells Townsquare Media that "we have municipal inspectors and our own staff going house to house. Upon the completion of that process, we can restore the electric service if its deemed safe."
However, Mayor Steve Acropolis, who has been in the cross-hairs of several residents fed up about the loss of service for so long, is highly critical of the utility company and their claims. He can't understand why it took JCP&L so long to start the inspection process and is surprised they went to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to have them mandate the process.
He says, "This should have been done the day after the Hurricane. And what makes no sense is how they can turn the power back on for some homes without an inspection that have suffered severe damage and maybe worse. Something doesn't seem right at all."
JCP&L denies any claims that they are just trying to protect their bottom line. Acropolis feels "this is an example of a utility company that is putting their dollars before the safety of the townspeople. We will not stand for it."
It is imperative that property owners switch off their main breaker, on homes where the electrical system was damaged or flooded above outlets to reduce the risk of fire upon re-energizing the line. If inspectors determine that the electrical service is compromised, JCP&L will pull the meter. The reconnection procedure for those properties will be:
– A licensed electrician must service the panel
– An electrical inspector can verbally approve the meter set
– A cut in card must be faxed by the Township to the JCP&L, as per normal procedure
Once all homes in an area are inspected, the power will be turned back on by JCP&L.
Several residents have told the Mayor they plan to file a class action lawsuit against the company.

Why is the assumption that this is specifically for middle or high schoolers?
I suppose businessmen and businesswomen would use this, you can store your paper work and iPad in it in one convenient carrying case. Binders aren't just for students! Although I admit that I did directly link the word binder to student
I'm in college, if I had an iPad I would use it! But I don't have an iPad so I just use my MBP instead.
rather than criticize the potential buyers of the product, how about you tell us about the damn case?
LOL, this website is getting more and more ridiculous. I HAD it bookmarked to keep me up to date with all of the Apple news and alike, not to learn someones OPINION on an item they should be REVIEWING. Seriously, whoever runs this is a joke. Your job is to tell me if it's worth buying, not waste my time telling me your biased, ignorant opinion.
Why are you assuming this is for middle and high schoolers? Did it ever occur to you that college students, who's ages can vary greatly, may use a binder too? I use a binder when deployed over seas, it does a hell of a damn good job of protecting my personal letters and documents. What if I want to protect my ipad along with them?
i'm disgusted with these "reviews" and these pathetic, lazy, made-on-the-fly pictures that go with each of them. Sorry, but you've lost a viewer. I'll turn my attention to a website more professional-like.
thats cool i guess but i wouldnt want to store it in my binder, i have a backpack with a laptop holder that i use for my ipad and thats much easier to use then this i would think
A LITTLE jaded?
Besides, not all high schoolers that have nice things are spoiled. I'm 15 and bought a MacBook, iPhone 4 and even a truck with money that I worked for.
Regardless, I'll be using this in my binder for graduate work. I intend on using my iPad for a notebook (Notes Plus and a Dagi stylus) so the binder will hold my course syllabi and other handouts I'll require through each semester. I think this is a great idea and 'spoiled brats' are CERTAINLY not the only ones who could benefit from a product like this.
Just ordered one from ZooGue in black. Got free shipping with a coupon code I easily found online. Total cost in CA was 32.18- very cost effect classroom solution!!
I'm I first year college student and I got an iPad for school. Honestly I can't see how I would have used it in Middle/High School because we were never allowed to have electronics. You couldn't sit down in class and whip out a laptop or anything. What Middle/High Schools did you guys go to?
I was trying to be nice at first...but these "news" articles from you are getting a bit ridiculous.
I'm going to have to agree with you here. I am getting tired of this kind of BS from Phil. I can remember when I would only come to ModMyi for all of my information on what was going on in the world of Apple. Now its like i will check out other sites just to come back to see how long it takes for ModMyi to copy the post or to catch up on what's going on. I think I'm done here too. I didn't post much here, because it was more of a informational site for me. Now its always so far behind other sites its not worth my click, and when you add posts like Phil's here it just makes you to want to cancel your account. Why leave it active if your never going to use it? How do you cancel your account anyway? Guess I will have to figure it out.
Swanson you never went to high school, that's obvious.

In a culture that honors the legacies of the past, this Hawaiian trio of talented musicians pays homage to their roots while creating a unique and progressive sound that leaves their mark in contemporary Hawaiian music.
In a seamless, continuous movement, we all carry a past while living in the present and moving toward a future. Hi'ikua's music reflects the belief that without asking, the knowledge of our ancestors has already been placed within us in the hope that we will shoulder this responsibility in an unbroken journey into the future.
This worldview is the essence of Hi'ikua's music, which is either composed or performed by Kalehua Krug, Kamuela Kimokeo and Blake Leoki-Haili. The group's name derives from the Hawaiian word that means literally "to carry on one's back." Hi'ikua accepts this responsibility and intends with each song to achieve that goal: to speak of their history in words and music; to enjoy each moment of that expression, and in sharing this with you, to hope that their message will find its way into the future.
We welcome all inquiries about our music or schedules, media requests, and usage of Hi'ikua's tracks and images.

As the trade deadline approached there were many big name pitchers on the market. At the end of July Cliff Lee, Dan Haren, and Roy Oswalt all switched uniforms in the heat of the pennant race. The Twins missed out on all three of these big name pitchers. But within their own bullpen rested the arm that they had relied on towards the end of the 2009 season. Could he be the starting pitcher to ail their woes?
As Brian Duensing takes the field tonight against the Detroit Tigers, he has been a savior for the Twins pitching staff. As a starter in 2009 he finished the season with a (5-2) record and the Twins were (6-3) in games that he started. Those numbers have improved for the 2010 campaign. In the six games that he has started in 2010 Duensing has compiled a (4-1) record and he has pitched at least 6 innings in all but one of those starts.
Just look at Duensing's combined 2nd half stats from the last two years:
Games: 16
Record: 10-3
Win %: .769
Opponent BA: .262
Compare that to the 2nd half numbers of the other stud pitchers that were available at the trade deadline:
Cliff Lee
Games: 98
Record: 44-29
Win %: .603
Opponent BA: .265
Dan Haren
Games: 107
Record: 41-37
Win %: .526
Opponent BA: .277
Roy Oswalt
Record: 73-25
Win %: .745
Opponent BA: .250
In most statistical categories, Duensing has out performed these three pitchers and the numbers that they have put up in the 2nd half over their careers. He has quietly been making a difference in the pennant race over the course of two seasons. By biding his time and waiting for the opportunity, he has made a mark on this franchise.
Duensing wasn't a big flashy name at the trade deadline but maybe he was just the pitcher that the Twins needed. He has outperformed many of the other players with the big flashy names. While at the same time the Twins didn't have to dump their entire farm system on a rental player that they would lose to the Yankees in the winter. The Twins have done what they do best, promote from within their own system. It is a formula that has worked and for the last two seasons Duensing has been their 2nd half stud.

GOVNET Planned to Protect Critical Government IT Functions from Cyber AttacksGSA to Lead Effort for President's Cyberspace Security Advisor
October 10, 2001
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC --At the request of the President's Cyberspace Security Advisor, the U.S. General Services Administration today released a Request for Information (RFI) to the U.S. telecommunications industry seeking information and suggestions for the development of a special telecommunications network.
A key feature of this network, called GOVNET, is that it must be able to perform its functions with no risk of penetration or disruption from users on other networks, such as the Internet. GOVNET is planned to be a private voice and data network based on the Internet Protocol (IP), but with no connectivity with commercial or public networks.
"Planning for this network has been going on for several months," said Richard Clarke, Special Advisor to the President for Cyberspace Security: "Since there is a very significant body of telecommunications engineering and acquisition expertise at the GSA Federal Technology Service, I have asked GSA Administrator Steve Perry, for his support. We need the combination of skills GSA has to establish this network quickly."
Clarke said that next steps for this effort would be based on the results of the input from industry.
"We are pleased to offer our support for this important endeavor, the safeguarding of critical government functions," said Administrator Perry. "We look forward to working with industry to develop services for our customers that affords them the assurance of protection for their critical assets."
For more information contact Jack Braun, (703) 306-6423, email@example.com. For a copy of the RFI, visit the GSA website at http://www.fts.gsa.gov/govnet/govnet.doc. Responses to the RFI are due November 21, 2001.

U.S. Says China's Government, Military Used Cyberespionage
WASHINGTON—The Chinese government has targeted U.S. government computer systems for intrusion, the Pentagon said Monday in a more direct accusation of cyberespionage than the U.S. has made in the past.
While American officials have long charged that China is a top perpetrator of cyberespionage, a new Pentagon report goes a step further, blaming some cyberintrusions directly on the government and its military.

Aquascutum Fall 2011
"Outerwear and tailoring, that's what Aquascutum is to me," said Joanna Sykes, the British house's new creative director, backstage, moments after the last dramatically sized-up and slickly detailed coat had exited the runway. "It's an iconic name, so I was looking at pieces that were equally iconic—the peacoat, the field jacket, and the trench, of course." In a week where British heritage has been to the fore, talk about good timing for Sykes and the latest incarnation of Aquascutum. But so as not to get too rooted in some misty-eyed longing for the past, Sykes decided to cut up and collage those classics into something new, injecting enough volume so that those masculine pieces weren't so much borrowed from the boys as loaned from the lads, with a big, slouchy, slope-shouldered line, amplifying the leanness of what was underneath.
Other times, she added the likes of Persian lamb storm flaps to a trench, or, to rather great effect, a quilted and furred detachable collar-cum-scarf in a contrast navy over a gray herringbone tweed coat. "I discovered Aquascutum invented removable linings," Sykes said of the latter design feature. "To me, that's like the modern fur collar." Her impulse to focus on jackets and coats was smart and right, but sometimes in her desire to cut and paste, often everything became too complicated. The reason the trench et al. have lasted for so long is that they are easy and functional. She had the latter down, but the former, not so much. But it will be worth keeping an eye on Sykes and where she could take Aquascutum; her own line, Sykes, was all things minimal way back before that look became so prevalent again. And she should be allowed to keep herself, and her taste, firmly to the fore of the new Aquascutum: a cool, intelligent woman who wants to dress women just like her.

Report: Chris Brown Rejects Plea Deal
Listen to Chris Brown Radio on iHeartRadio
Chris Brown is reportedly saying no to a plea deal in a misdemeanor assault case in Washington, DC.
Sources tell ABC7 News negotiations between prosecutors and the singer's camp broke down Wednesday, meaning Brown could be forced to face trial.
The singer was arrested in DC last October after an altercation with a man who reportedly tried to jump in on a photo Chris was taking with two female fans.
Brown's bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, was convicted at an earlier trial in April for his role in the fight. The singer was just released from a Los Angeles jail this month for probation violation.
