Nektar to Release Covers CD A SPOONFUL OF TIME, 11/27
Progressive rock fans worldwide are buzzing with excitement about the forthcoming release of a new covers CD by music legends Nektar called "A Spoonful Of Time", featuring an all-star guest line-up. Celebrating their 43rd Anniversary, Nektar's contribution over the past four decades has quite rightly earned them their place in any 'Progressive Rock Hall of Fame'. But the band is much more than a "prog legend;" the Nektar brand of innovative composition, performance and visuals is simply unique. And now on November 27th Cleopatra Records will be releasing the first ever covers album by the iconic UK ensemble, joined by an incredible gathering of musical heroes from a wide variety of genres.
Says founding Nektar member Roye Albrighton, "The idea originated from Cleopatra themselves...they thought it might be a good idea to do an album of classic songs with a multitude of different players but under the Nektar banner. Klaus, Ron and myself were to be the staple musicians taking part and the files would be given out to various musicians to do their parts. I was asked to do most of the vocals except for the one track which was ("Africa") and quite a few guitars too. Ron did a lot of the drums and Klaus was prominent on several of the tracks on Hammond and mellotron."
Track listing:
1. Sirius featuring Michael Pinnella (Symphony X)
2. Spirit Of The Radio featuring Mark Kelly (Marillion)
3. Fly Like An Eagle featuring Geoff Downes (Asia / Yes) • Joel Vandroogenbroeck (Brainticket)
4. Wish You Were Here featuring Edgar Froese (Tangerine Dream)
5. For The Love Of Money featuring Ian Paice (Deep Purple) • Nik Turner (Hawkwind)
6. Can't Find My Way Home featuring Steve Howe (Yes) • Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater/Black Country Communion) • Mel Collins (King Crimson)
7. 2000 Light Years From Home featuring Simon House (Hawkwind)
8. Riders On The Storm featuring Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big) • Rod Argent (The Zombies / Argent)
9. Blinded By The Light featuring Joakim Svalberg (Opeth) • Ginger Baker (Cream)
10. Out Of The Blue featuring Simon House (Hawkwind)
11. Old Man featuring David Cross (King Crimson)
12. Dream Weaver featuring Jerry Goodman (Mahavishnu Orchestra)
13. I'm Not In Love featuring Rick Wakeman (Yes)
14. Africa featuring Bobby Kimball (Toto) • Patrick Moraz (The Moody Blues)
Nektar's "A Spoonful Of Time" was produced by the band and mixed by prog icon Billy Sherwood, who also played bass on some of the tracks.
Says Billy, "I really enjoyed working with Nektar on their new record, it was an honor playing bass on the entire project too!! Roye is very creative and inspiring to be around, Ron and Klaus are great to work with too... I felt like it was working with friends, making music, as it should be. I look forward to playing some gigs with them in the future." Roye adds, "The songs featured on the album were chosen by Cleopatra, of which a few of them I quite like. It was good working with Billy, on this covers album and our new studio album 'Time Machine', and like me, he wants the absolute best for the music."
The Nektar story is a remarkable one. A British rock band that found stardom and major success in Germany and the USA, yet failed to make a significant breakthrough in their own country. With three gold albums under their belt ("Remember The Future", "Down To Earth" and "Recycled"), Nektar produced some of the most original work of the seventies and eighties. In virtuoso guitarist Roye Albrighton Nektar had a charismatic front man who had shared a stage with Jimi Hendrix, in Allan "Taff" Freeman a unique keyboard player, in Derek "Mo" Moore a bass playing powerhouse and in Ron Howden a fluidity rarely found in a drummer. Fifth member Mick Brockett was not a musician, but was responsible for one of the most stunning light and visual shows ever to grace a rock stage. Nektar's history appeared to have been written when they finally split in the eighties. Despite attempts to re-kindle the flame, the Nektar light, it seemed was out...until the year 2000. The new millenium saw the long awaited reunion tour of the classic line-up, to rave reviews and fantastic receptions. The light we thought was out, had in fact been kept aglow - by loyal fans across the globe.
"It's pretty timeless music," says Albrighton, "and what I'm hearing from most of the new, younger fans that are now coming to our shows, is that it's like going back in time. They are starting to really discover music again, which, of course, is a great thrill to us and some of the older bands from our time."

Adult Web Star Wannabe Pleads Not Guilty
A woman accused of posing naked on a Lincoln Catholic high school campus has pleaded not guilty to indecent exposure and trespassing charges.
19-year-old Valerie Dodds entered the plea Wednesday in a Lancaster County courtroom.
Dodds is accused of making various poses on the football field at Lincoln Piux X in May then posting the photos on her adult website.
Dodds said on her site that the photo shoot was revenge against students and teachers who gave Dodds grief when she shared her plans for a career in porn.
She is scheduled to appear in court in August.

I set my mythbuntu to manually record a time slot daily. This worked for about 2 weeks. Then it stopped altogether. At first I thought it was because of size but the recordings are set to auto expire plus I am nowhere near to a full drive 1.8 TB (1.6 TB free).
I noticed if I go back into Recording Schedules and re-save the manually record a daily time slot, it will record again but only show upcoming recordings for about 2 weeks. (IE I just set it before posting this and shows upcoming recordings until Thu Nov 8, 2012)
How do I set it to continuously record this time slot without stopping or going back to reactive?

Conference to put climate change in context
Climate change through history is the focus of a conference March 19 – 20 at the University of South Carolina.
Hosted by the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology (SCIAA), the conference will feature presentations from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Friday, March 19, at the Inn at USC, and from 9 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Saturday, March 20, at SCIAA's offices at 1321 Pendleton St. All talks are free and open to the public.
"Many people see climate change as a major challenge that we face in our contemporary world," said Dr. David Goldstein, a visiting scholar at SCIAA and the conference's organizer. "The reality, as we know, is that, across history, humans have been adjusting to their environments as they settle into seasonal cycles of agriculture and migration."
Titled "From Field to Table: Historical Ecology of Regional Subsistence Strategies," the conference focuses on the field of historical ecology, which looks at landscapes and the different ways people have used resources particular to that place.
Some of the talks will focus on South Carolina, including ones on clams, the Great Pee Dee River valley in the late prehistoric period, rice plantations, early native American culture (Mississippian period) in central South Carolina and ecological awareness through Southern food heritage.
Other talks will focus on south Florida, Panama, the Puebloan Southwest, the Andes, central Mexico and the southwestern U.S. The complete conference schedule is available on the Web site: http://www.cas.sc.edu/SCIAA/postdoc_conf.html.
The SCIAA conference is sponsored by the Historic Columbia Foundation, S.C. Humanities Council, USC's College of Arts and Sciences and the Archaeological Research Trust.

These are the phosphorescent, remote controlled bumpercrafts that pit two players in a duel to literally unseat an opponent driver. Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer, each bumpercraft has an impact area button on its left and right; when the button is struck by an opposing bumpercraft, a built-in spring ejects the craft's driver out of its seat. Each player controls one of the bumpercrafts with a radio-controlled remote that provides forward, backward, left, and right movement up to 10' away. Best when played on smooth, level surfaces, each bumpercraft moves on two partially concealed drive wheels and one guide wheel. Recovered drivers are easily clicked back into place. Requires 10 AAA batteries. Ages 6 to 12. 5" L x 5" W x 5" H. (2 lbs.) Set of 2

A great product!
By Happy Grandmother
from Chevy Chase, MD
Perfect for 5 yrs+ (including Dad!!)! Needs a little patience getting set up initially and in managing of the remote controls: which controls which car etc. Basically seems to be a robust fun toy, even if manipulation skills of the user don't allow controlled car battles.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Sturdy; easy to learn controls even for ADHD child; my grandson and his daddy are spending hours together with these! The controls respond well, and the "drivers" really do FLY out when cars hit! Seem to do well on battery life, too.

This was a great hit at Christmas with the two boys (ages 9 and 12) that got the gift. They played with it for over an hour as soon as they opened the gift. Everything worked great, product appears durable and the kids loved the driver ejection feature and the noises they made when ejected. Still not sure about length of battery life for this toy

So MUCH FUN !!!!!
By Grams
from Madison, MS
Grand kids, 5 & 7 had a blast with these! The parents and grand parents and aunt loved them too! The little "giggley" sound when the driver gets ejected is hilarious! I have bought other remote control toys, but these were played with most. Durable and easily used, some times the remote can be tricky but not on these, the boys had no trouble at all, we chased each other all over the house! I have seen cheaper imitations of this so make sure you get the right product.

Sleeping position
Hi! Is there any suggested sleeping position for pregnant mums that would not affect blood circulation for the baby? (Aside from NOT lying on your tummy, of course.) Because I know being pregnant means having to consider sleeping positions when sleeping. Thanks!

Hello lil momma!
Sleeping on your left side during pregnancy is said to benefit the baby by improving blood circulation. Of course, getting sleep is important to, and you shouldn't feel too bad if side sleeping just doesn't work for you, especially early in pregnancy when it is less likely to be a problem.
For more about sleeping comfortably during pregnancy, read this older thread on sleeping comfortably whilst pregnant. =)

Thank you for the sharing an answer and a helpful link! I'll keep the info in mind.

Hi lil_momma,
This is an interesting topic - thank you for posting it.
As mom2many says, sleeping on your left side is preferable as it increases the blood flow to the placenta; this means that the nutrients going to the placenta are also increased. It's actually sleeping on your back which is the worse position to sleep in when you are pregnant as the uterus pushes down on the spine and can reduce the blood flow to the baby. Laying on your back can also make some mums-to-be dizzy.
I hope this helps,
Best wishes,

For many mums, it's all about finding that comfortable sleeping position that makes it possible to get some uninterrupted sleep later in pregnancy. Here's a great videos that shows an idea on just how to do this.

I'm a tummy sleeper and have been my whole life. I'm very early pregnant and so very worried I'm putting to much pressure on my stomach while sleeping on it. I am overweight which adds to my concern. I am trying to sleep on my side and luckily for me my left side is my second option. Can I be doing any harm sleeping on my stomach? I've had previous miscarriages and so desperately don't want another.
13th November 2013 06:27 AM #7
Hi wanting2beamummy,
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I didn't realise from your other post that you were already pregnant. That is good news.
I'm so sorry to hear about your previous miscarriages. Most miscarriages unfortunately would just always have happened; they are not caused by anything that you did or did not do. I know this doesn't take away the grief that you feel.
Sleeping on your stomach should be fine at this stage of pregnancy. The embryo is well protected from normal daily life. However, you may want to try and start sleeping on your left side to help get used to this for when your bump gets bigger. You can get pregnancy support pillows to make you more comfortable in bed.
Warm wishes,

Thanks for that information, I probably deep down knew the answer but hormones play havoc with brain function. If I'm pregnant it's very very early and the way I've been feeling the past few days gives very mixed messages so we are still very insure if it's taken.

You are welcome.
How many weeks do you think you may be? Have you had a positive pregnancy test? How have you been feeling over the past few days?

CertusBank, National Association, Easley, South Carolina, Assumes All of the Deposits of Parkway Bank, Lenoir, North Carolina
Parkway Bank, Lenoir, North Carolina, was closed today by the North Carolina Office of the Commissioner of Banks, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with CertusBank, N.A., Easley, South Carolina, to assume all of the deposits of Parkway Bank.
The three former branches of Parkway Bank will reopen as branches of CertusBank, N.A. during their normal business hours. Depositors of Parkway Bank will automatically become depositors of CertusBank, N.A. Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no need for customers to change their banking relationship in order to retain their deposit insurance coverage up to applicable limits. Customers of Parkway Bank should continue to use their current branch until they receive notice from CertusBank, N.A. that systems conversions have been completed to allow full-service banking at all branches of CertusBank, N.A.
This evening and over the weekend, depositors of Parkway Bank can access their money by writing checks or using ATM or debit cards. Checks drawn on the bank will continue to be processed. Loan customers should continue to make their payments as usual.
As of December 31, 2012, Parkway Bank had approximately $108.6 million in total assets and $103.7 million in total deposits. In addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, CertusBank, N.A. agreed to purchase approximately $99.2 million of the failed bank's assets. The FDIC will retain the remaining assets for later disposition.
Customers with questions about today's transaction should call the FDIC toll-free at 1-800-405-1439. The phone number will be operational this evening until 9:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time (EDT); on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., EDT; on Sunday from noon to 6:00 p.m., EDT; on Monday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., EDT; and thereafter from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., EDT. Interested parties also can visit the FDIC's Web site at http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/parkway.html.
The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) will be $18.1 million. Compared to other alternatives, CertusBank, N.A.'s acquisition was the least costly resolution for the FDIC's DIF. Parkway Bank is the ninth FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the first in North Carolina. The last FDIC-insured institution closed in the state was Waccamaw Bank, Whiteville, on June 8, 2012.

Why do you need a companies IP range?
@ all others please allow the OP a chance to respond before posting anything.
How can you find a companies IP range if all you have is their domain name, and their website and email are hosted(AKA, no DNS records)?
I know if you have 1 IP, you can do a ARPNIC whois search, but if you do a DNS search and they don't have any IPs showing, what then?
Thanks in advance

Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
In the past we've always asked the company to supply us with their external IPs, but the guy running the project has been learning about different methodologies and they like the idea of us doing blind assessments. I was just going through the actions with my current job and it just so happens I'm not seeing ANYTHING in their DNS records to help me. Their MX records point to their ISP and their only A records points to their ISP.
I assure you, I'm not a 'hacker'. I'm actually embarrassed I don't know the answer.
Thanks again.
A real hacker would not be limitied in some of the same ways that someone doing a legitimate penetration test or vulnerability assessment would be. A real hacker can take as much time as they want, but a professional pentester has to complete their tasks within an allotted time. A real hacker is not limited by notions of scope, but a professional pentester has to worry about accidentally accessesing systems that he does not have permission to access, especially those owned by third parties to the client. Part of your job is to educate the client about things like this, and tell them that asking for a blind test may actually result in them getting less value for money for their test, as the time you spend on mapping their network could instead be spent on more closely analysing their systems. Now it could be that they want you to spend the time on that information gathering, but you should try and ensure that they are making an informed decision in that regard - its in both your best interests.
Now, the approach you are taking to find out their IP addresses is more or less correct, just perhaps lacking in some depth - standard information gathering techniques still apply in this case. Check forward and reverse DNS lookups, try zone transfers, do whois searches, use various search engines to try and identify hosts used by this company. The firece DNS scanner and dnsenum have some interesting methods of using these type of queries to discover hosts - check them out. The trick is, once you have found some hosts related to the client, call the client and ask them if these hosts are in scope for a scan and covered under your permission agreement. Yes, thats a standard thing to do in black box tests. Make sure that any third parties have also provided permission. Your permission agreement should contain the necessary legal language to allow this (consult a laywer if required). The client should then be able to tell you whether or not you have found the hosts they are interested in. If you don't manage to find the correct hosts, they will most likely realise that this approach is not for them (or they will hire someone else to do the job).

One lazy Houston afternoon, Umbrella Man bassist Nick Gaitan was sitting upstairs in his apartment on "The Island" at 3700 Main, the South Midtown building that houses the Continental Club, Tacos a Go-Go, Sig's Lagoon and Shoeshine Charley's Big Top Lounge. At the time, Gaitan was pulling down shifts at all of them, and as he stared out his window at the Ensemble/HCC MetroRail station, the makings of a song began stirring in his head: "I just walked up from the station / 26 steps up in the rain..." He finished the song in about 20 minutes, before the ride he was waiting on showed up, and titled it "I've Found My Weakness in You" after the abundance of attractive women who populate the block most weekend (and some weekday) nights. Not long after, Gaitan's boss Billy Joe Shaver heard him rehearsing it on the tour bus and liked it so much, he's already cut a version for his still-unreleased next album. Still, the version Gaitan sings most every Tuesday at Umbrella Man's Continental gig — and has recorded for that band's forthcoming release — remains the definitive one. "Weakness" may be about a very specific piece of real estate and what goes on there, but its laid-back, down-home vibe makes it an anthem all Houston can get behind.
Few characters are as complicated as those built by the mighty brain of Tom Stoppard. Happily, actors as fine as Todd Waite make sure that all that complexity gets translated to the stage. The guiding force of the Alley Theatre's supercharged production of Rock 'n' Roll this past spring, Waite played Jan, a Czech lover of music. As Jan, he created a character who was both intellectually powerful and emotionally tender, a man who wanted to avoid politics even as he stood up for what he believed was right. Best of all, he made us fall in love with Stoppard all over again.
The kvetching character at the center of Clifford Odets's Awake and Sing! is no walk in the park for any actress — she's mean, destructive, even cruel. But Luisa Amaral-Smith managed to find the soul of Bessie Berger, the iron-fisted matriarch of the Jewish family Odets created. Bessie is the most terrible of mothers, crushing her family members even as she sets about trying to make them successful. She is, in short, the sort of mother who keeps therapists in business. But Amaral-Smith lifted Bessie out of the ick of caricature to create a fully realized woman — both deeply troubled and amazingly real, she was the embodiment of what acting is all about.
No one is more dedicated to the maxim "less is more" than Gallery Sonja Roesch. Focused on reductive and concept-based art, the gallery breaks with the pop culture norm and instead shows work by artists who rebel against visual overload. Case in point is German painter Mario Reis, a frequent guest at the gallery. Reis is well known for his "river paintings" (canvases he submerges in river beds around the world, allowing the minerals in the water to stain an image on the surface). Reis makes almost no attempt to control his images, and once they're done, he resists embellishments and manipulation. Keeping his actions as an artist to a minimum, Reis nonetheless produces evocative works. In a scene filled with noisy, complicated art, Gallery Sonja Roesch is a respite showing uncluttered works that resonate with viewers.
Ben Tecumseh DeSoto and Ann Walton Sieber's photography exhibit "Understanding Poverty" at DiverseWorks was harrowing for its unflinching look at Houston's homeless. The show chronicled, from the late '80s to today, the story of Judy Pruitt, a.k.a. "Snow," an abandoned street kid begging, tricking and stealing to survive, as well as that of Ben White, a homeless man DeSoto and Sieber followed. The photos delved into the traumatized psychology of poverty and revealed hard truths about the broken-down system that perpetuates it. "DeSoto, who was a staff photographer at the Houston Chronicle for 25 years, has employed a photojournalist technique, and his imagery is augmented by Sieber's large chunks of text and quotes from literature. There were disturbing images of crack and heroin use, domestic abuse and life on the street. One section of photos addressed city programs and initiatives to document and help those in need. While DeSoto and Sieber's subject matter was hard to crack at first, once one connected with it, it became absorbing and rewarding. It was an ugly world, but one worth getting lost in.
Painter/sculptor Patrick Medrano and photographer Katy Anderson were two of the winners of last January's Mastermind Awards, and we just thought they deserved another win. The married couple conceptualized the Fodice Foundation, an artist residency compound housed in an abandoned WPA school in the East Texas town of Fodice. To hear the two talk about the project, one imagines established sites like Donald Judd's Chinati Foundation in Marfa or Robert Wilson's Watermill Center on Long Island, but obviously more intimate and homey — a place more about ideas, location and history than art-world clout. Each year, the foundation will offer up to six artists concurrent residencies for up to two months, for an estimated total of 24 artists per year. The visiting artists will have the opportunity to focus on their own work, and they will also become integral parts of a very depressed community where the arts are currently neglected. In addition to six artist studios, the Fodice compound will include housing, a fully equipped workshop, kitchen facilities, offices, a gallery space and a performance space, as well as permanent installations. We can't wait to make the road trip and check out this naturally collaborative team's ultimate collaboration.

Atkinson February 27, 2012 Story Share It's been quite the roller-coaster ride for George Washington.The Patriots began the preseason fifth in the Class AAA Associated Press poll, only to drop out after losing eight of 12 games in the middle of the regular season.GW (15-9) seems to have caught fire again, winning its section title to set up a home game against No. 10 Woodrow Wilson (15-9) at 7 tonight in the Region 3 co-finals. The winners advance to the state tournament, which will take place March 7-10 at the Civic Center.There are two other games tonight involving Kanawha Valley teams with No. 3 South Charleston (20-3) hosting No. 7 Spring Valley (18-6), while Winfield (10-13) visits No. 9 Huntington (18-6) in the Region 4 co-finals. (See Page 2B for regional pairings.)GW finally defeated Parkersburg South in last week's section final after falling to the Patriots twice during the regular season.It all seems to be coming together for GW, which started two freshmen at guard. In addition, senior guard Adrian Cunningham transferred from Poca after the team folded because of injuries and, after a lengthy appeals process, was finally ruled eligible 10 games ago."In the beginning we thought bringing back four starters from a state semifinals team would be a good nucleus,'' said GW coach Jamie LaMaster."In reality I had to blend a freshman starter in Alanna [Mobayed] and then Adrian's arrival took some time. We've changed our lineup twice and started eight different kids. I think right now we've got it where we want to be.''GW defeated Woodrow Wilson 75-69 at home Feb. 13. "Whichever way it goes I'm glad we're here at GW,'' LaMaster said. "I don't like to travel for these games. We have a team full of hard working kids that fill up the stat sheet. They all bring something different.''GW senior center Alexa Peoples averages 14.4 points, followed by sophomore forward Kelli Jo Harrison (12.3) and junior guard Rachel Ward (12.8).Woodrow comes in off a loss to Greenbrier East in the Region 3 Section 2 final, but has coach Bernie Bostick back on the bench after missing some time for medical reasons. Guards Olivia Moore (17.9) and Alexis Allen (10.9) trigger the Flying Eagles offense.SC went untested in its sectional, rolling past St. Albans and Winfield by an average margin of 41.5 points. "We're starting to come together a little bit better defensively,'' said SC coach Gary Greene, whose team finished state runner-up the past two seasons. "It's top-10 teams now."You've got to be really prepared. Our team has really picked up team defense. We've played unselfish offensively all year long and we're really looking for the open scorer.'' The Black Eagles downed Spring Valley 67-56 at home Feb. 3. Senior guard Brittany Gordon, who leads the Mountain State Athletic Conference in scoring at 23.9 points, powers SC and is averaging 30.5 points in her last four games.Forward Keke Allen (16.9), Alexxis Tunstalle (13.9) and Gel Villanueva (10.6) are also capable scorers. Tunstalle is averaging 23.7 points over her last three games."She's given us a little bit of spark and has taken some pressure off Brittany,'' Green said of Tunstalle's play.Spring Valley sports a lineup of youth and experience with senior guard Megan Perry (13.2) and freshman forward Madison Morrison (12.5).Winfield pulled a mild upset of Putnam County rival Hurricane in the section semifinals. The Generals, who lost to Huntington 81-52 to open their season, are led by Bethany Jordan (16.8) and Haeley Moore (11.1). Huntington seems to be getting hot at the right time, too.The Highlanders dispatched Spring Valley in the section finals, avenging an earlier loss. Forward Kiana Evans is third in the MSAC in scoring at 20.1 points while forward Dominique Gibson (12.9) and guard Kisha Adkins (12.8) are also double-digit scorers.Tonight's other AAA regionals find North Marion (14-10), the three-time defending state champion and a loser in its section final, traveling to No. 5 Wheeling Park (20-4) and No. 6 Morgantown (18-6) at No. 8 Fairmont Senior (19-5) in the Region 1 co-finals.In Region 2, Martinsburg (15-7) hosts Robert C. Byrd (15-9) and Hedgesville (17-7) visits No. 1 Bridgeport (23-1). The other half of Region 3 has Parkersburg South (14-10) visiting No. 2 Greenbrier East (22-1).Reach Tommy R.

Dianna - from Columbus, OH
There are several things you can do: • Make sure you are not overbeating your batter. Follow recipe or cake mix instructions precisely, using a kitchen timer. • Use Bake-Even Strips on the outside of the pan before baking to keep the temperature on the outside of the cakes lower as the center bakes. This will keep the rise on the layer more even. • Check your oven temperature with an accurate oven thermometer. A very high crown is sometimes caused by an oven that is too hot. • Finally, most cake layers do rise a little bit more in the center than at the edges as they bake. Once your cake layer has cooled, use a cake leveler or serrated knife to cut the crown off the center of the layer, creating an even, level surface.

Climate Change: How Much Does It Really Cost?
Undoubtedly, it's a different climate for talking about climate change this year. Extreme weather events have replaced legislative proposals as the big hook for discussing the issue. What hasn't changed much is that we are still talking about it, and much of the talk still centers on the costs.
When climate legislation was before Congress last year, much of the discussion focused on the costs of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This year we are seeing a new set of headlines. Story after story describes communities across our country being hit by extreme weather events – the floods in the Mississippi, Missouri and Souris rivers, the drought in Texas, and the wildfires in Florida and Arizona. We see vivid photos of temporary levees being built around nuclear power plants and wildfires threatening stored plutonium in New Mexico. The increasing number of extreme weather events is a wake-up call of the costs we will incur if we fail to address climate change.
We teamed up with Scientific American to explain this link between climate change and extreme weather. In a new three-part series featured on Scientific American.com, award-winning science journalist John Carey dissects the science, impacts, and actions to take regarding the record-breaking floods, heat waves, droughts, storms, and wildfires experienced across the United States and the world in the past year. The third installment appears today.
Extreme weather imposes massive costs on communities across the United States almost every year. For example, the recent flooding in Minot, North Dakota, displaced 25 percent of the town's population, and it could be weeks before residents can return to their homes. People who were affected by the historic Mississippi flooding this year are still trying to pick up the pieces and return their lives to normal. Preliminary estimates of total economic damages were in the range of $6 billion to $9 billion, and costs to repair the levees alone are estimated to be around $1 billion. Elsewhere, farmers and business owners in Texas confronting a record-breaking drought are facing up to a season of lost revenues that is expected to total $3 billion in agricultural losses alone.
Weather impacts cut deeply into our economy touching many important sectors. Work by Jeffrey Lazo at the National Center for Atmospheric Research has shown that the economic value attributable to weather variability could be as high as 3.4 percent of GDP or $485 billion annually. These costs not only include energy and rebuilding costs after extreme weather but also the costs of weather related production and consumption decisions.
Some of these costs get passed on to the American taxpayer. Most people don't realize that flooding is the single biggest economic impact from weather. Nor do most people know that the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is the government's second largest fiscal liability after Social Security. The program is already $16 billion in debt and premiums currently do not reflect the risk of extreme weather. This massive liability is growing by the day and will increase further over time due to the increase in extreme weather risk from increasing greenhouse gas concentrations.
Of course extreme weather happens regardless of climate change. But the science is very clear that climate change is causing the risk of extreme weather to rise, and that leads directly to more expected damages. Climatologists have documented increases in extreme rainfall and hurricane intensity in the past 30 to 50 years and a lengthening of the wildfire season in the west, so the effect isn't something that's off in the future. The increase in risk from climate change represents a large, hidden economic cost for individuals, communities, and taxpayers across the nation. By continuing to add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, we are taking a bigger and bigger gamble with the weather, and increasing the risks that communities will lose that bet. Minot, Vicksburg, Miss., and Texas serve as the most recent examples.
When you know you're playing with loaded dice, your best bet is to get out of the game. Actions to reduce greenhouse gases will certainly impose costs, but make no mistake, inaction carries a price tag too. Recovering from the impacts of extreme weather events is likely to be far costlier and more disruptive. Doesn't it make more sense to put in place a balanced program that will both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make the necessary investments to make our communities more resilient to extreme weather events?

20 minutes? no way.
Following Cerrone's first-round head kick knockout of Jim Miller on Wednesday, the "Cowboy" made it clear that he would fight anyone the UFC wanted, at any time. This aligned perfectly with the wishes of Nurmagomedov, who had creatively used social media to make his intentions known.
UFC officials obliged, getting the proposed scrap set in stone on Friday. According to UFC President Dana White, the fight was only on for about 20 minutes.
"That fight was done," White told reporters during the UFC Fight Night Dublin scrum. "[UFC matchmaker] Joe Silva sent the email out, and 20 minutes later, (Nurmagomedov) went into the gym and blew his knee out. Twenty minutes. So that fight's off."Bs15ASDIYAIug5c.jpgkhabib nurmagomedov

Scottsdale, Ariz. • Phil Mickelson missed out on a 59 by a fraction of an inch Thursday in the first round of the Phoenix Open.
Mickelson had a chance to become the sixth player in PGA Tour history to break 60 with a 25-foot birdie attempt on his last hole, the par-4 ninth at TPC Scottsdale. The putt looked good all the way, and Mickelson pointed his putter at the cup as he prepared to celebrate.
Right at the end, though, the ball caught the right edge of the cup, curled 180 degrees to the other side of the hole and stayed out.
"Six feet to go, it was in the center," Mickelson said. "Three feet to go, it was in the center. A foot to go, it was in the center, and even as it's approaching the hole, I couldn't envision which side of the hole it could possibly miss on, and it ended up somehow just dying off at the end, catching the lip. At that speed, to lip out as much as it did is very rare.
"I'm excited to shoot 60, but to see that last putt lip out the way it did and not go in, it's crushing because you don't get that chance very often to shoot 59."
His caddie, Jim Mackay, fell to his knees.
"He could not have hit a better putt," Mackay said.
Playing partners Jason Dufner and Rickie Fowler thought it was going in, too.
"Unlucky. He was walking it in," Dufner said.
"I thought it was in," Fowler said. "I was pulling for him, trying to stay out of his way."
Mickelson settled for an 11-under 60, matching the tournament record he already shared with Grant Waite and Mark Calcavecchia.
"Well, 60 is awesome," he said. "Last time I shot 60 here in '05, I birdied like the last three or four holes just to do that, and I was ecstatic, and I'm ecstatic to shoot 60. But there's a big difference between 60 and 59. Not that big between 60 and 61, there really isn't. But there's a big barrier, a Berlin Wall barrier, between 59 and 60. I shot it in the PGA Grand Slam of Golf. I shot 58 in a practice round. But to do it in a tournament would have been historic for me, something I'd always remember, and I'll always remember that putt on the last hole probably, too."

Immigration bill sprinkled with pet projects
(NEWSER) – The Senate's immigration reform bill could make sweeping changes for some 11 million undocumented workers, but not all its measures are so expansive. In fact, a number of senators have inserted legislation that offers a special boost to their home states, the Wall Street Journal reports. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a major home for meat production, reportedly added a provision for up to 20,000 extra visas for meat cutters and trimmers—even though a labor union says the industry has plenty of eligible workers already.

only 6. I was surprised.
here's what Pat Miletich said:
answer's in the link for cheaters*"I have no idea what to think any more. I spent 17 years fighting professionally, and obviously as you get older, you lose a step and your test levels go down, but the amount of knowledge you gain over that time, there's a lot of knowledge. If I'm able to get my levels back up to when I was 21 or 22 years old, awesome. Then I've regained some of that strength and aggression back, and I have all that knowledge over the young guys. It could help a lot, but, in the end, it comes down to this. If you fight too long, no matter what, you're going to end up having physical problems.
"A lot of these guys that are doing that, extending their career longer than it would normally be possible, I fear for them with some of the damage that is going to be done to their bodies. Sure, they might be stronger than normal now, but in the end, it comes down to how these guys are going to be 20 years from now. Are they still going to be able to spell their name?" - Pat Miletich via BloodyElbow

Pope May Be Sneaking Out at Night to Help Poor
(NEWSER) – This will only help Francis' reputation as everyone's favorite pope: It seems that the pontiff is ducking out of the Vatican at night dressed as a priest to minister to Rome's homeless and hand out money. The rumor got buzzing when an archbishop whose job it is to do just that said in an interview, "When I say to him, 'I'm going out into the city this evening,' there's the constant risk that he will come with me," reports uCatholic. Pressed on whether Francis had actually done so, the archbishop smiled and said, "Next question."

Newbie Needs Advice
While I have owned many BMWs over the years I have never owned an M car but now have a chance to purchase a very nice '88 M3 from a collector. Not knowing much about this particular model I need some advice on what I should be aware of in terms of problem areas. I also would like some advice on whether this model requires extensive maintenance as I would like to drive the car on a regular basis to local club events, shows, etc. I will NOT be tracking the car or abusing it. Thanks very much. Feel free to send me PM or email. If anyone has a pre-purchase checklist I would be most grateful. Thanks.

First thing to look for is rust.
1, front cowl at each corner. There are drains in the recess for the front windshield. They get block by sealer during r&r of the glass and start to rust.
2, The jacking pads under the car .
3, the lower body seams are damaged because people use them as jack pads.
4, the rear panel at the license plate lights, and the license plate lower mounting screws is rust prone. The tail lights tend to cause rust on the panel as well.
5, the composite body cladding tends to hide rust that starts with the fasteners .
6, In the last ten years, the reputation of the car has gotten the attention of many people, and as a result there have been not a few body shops that have taken advantage of the rarity of the car and the avidness of owners, to turn out some real sheds. Avoid restored cars unless you can prove the providence of the shop doing the work.
7, the VIN# can be found on all body panels, and stamped on the cowl strip to verify originality and rule out accident damage.
8, Accident damage can be well repaired, but even so, rust does not sleep(imo) so it is best to avoid car that have been hit too hard.
9, With the exception of the hood , the body panels are bespoke to the M3.
1, Check behind the fuse box for cracks in the firewall the result from track use with R compound rubber, but no bracing between the strut towers.
2, Check the front frame rails from the engine bay. Look for straight seams and a uniform appearance to the rails.
1, If the car is near or just past 100k miles and there is no documentation, then it is a wise economy to have the rod bearings replaced.
If this is not done, one can anticipate around $5k for a total rebuild in 30k miles .
2, If there is a clatter on start up when the nose of the car is uphill, then the hydraulic chain tensioner requires replacement.
3, the engine requires a valve clearance adjustment at regular intervals.
Otherwise it is a robust engine when in good fettle.
4, The engines are commonly chipped to raise the redline to 7500-7800 rpm, so think twice about rod bearings on such examples.
The engine components command a hefty premium due to their bespoke nature and low volume.
The geometry of the suspension is different to that of the other E30.
1, the front strut/steering knuckle are only available to this car and are very expensive. Otherwise the suspension can be bodged using regular E30 parts.
2, The car uses 5 lug wheels as opposed to 4 lug on the others.
3, front wheel bearings are larger than the other E30s.
1, Rotors and front calipers are bespoke items.
2, Rear calipers accept pads from the E36 range.
3, ABS sensors are the same as the other E30 but the ABS ECU is of a different calibration.

Discussion in 'Sports Zone' started by juck, Oct 31, 2012.
Great team win onto Utah tonight 9pm EST.
From the beginning i liked everything about this team. We will have a young, quick backcourt that can slash and score at will, an athletic frontcourt that can score at will in the lowpost, along with what Dirk does on the perimeter.
Every vet knows their place on the team, Vince didn't try to play hero ball, we didn't have guys out there just trying to get their own and stuff the stat box, guys just went out there and played solid, fundamentally sound basketball.
I loved it, i just hope we can keep afloat until Dirk gets back, this season will be something special if he still has something in the tank.
Pure team ball. Great effort. Its so odd seeing a PG that can penetrate,score and play defense. Wow. Our frontcourt can flat out score. Even Curry. I wonder about our post defense but Brand is a darn good defender. One thing is we will get a 20 pt combo out of our centers i bet most nights which again is something we never had.
Can anyone tell me what channel the mavs are playing on in Dallas? I can only find the game on package channels.
Juck, do you post on dallasbasketball.com? Seems like I've seen your name there? I post on there by the name of partsdude.
yea Im always on there for a while now best board for mavs
this team is going to be fun to watch this year if we can get more stability at the pg position. i love crowder's effort.
Yea Lots of youth. A nice vet presence. I dont expect a ring but it may just be pretty darn fun.
of course not, dont you know, the Heat have already won the title this year....just ask all the experts and analysts...:
Had an awesome time today rubbing into the Lakers fans face today. Looking forward to a good year for the Mavs. A lot of people are underestimating us.
Utah's living at the Ft line.
Crowder, Mayo, Collison, and Roddy: Young & Gettin' it.
That FT diff was way off wow
Back To Back in Utah arent fun, They really get the Home Cookin. They shot 42? FT thats insane
Caveman will be back saturday night
back to back on the road vs two playoff teams is hard for anyone, we have to remember that this team really hasn't played much together.
I thought we were going to win but the Jazz got hot in the 3rd, what can you do really, 1-1.
I'm happy to be 1-1 at this point.
Dallas fans have a reason to be optimistic because they have a nice youthment move going down over there. Cuban took alot of heat for striking out on Deron Williams, but you know as an owner you gotta take gambles. Sometimes they work out sometimes they don't. However he did a great job I positioning himself in a good position to acquire another big time free agent or two next summer, but at the same time still fielding a competitive team. They will have enough cap room to sign Chris Paul and/or Dwight Howard. Now whether those two guys would leave their respective teams for Dallas remains to be seen, but they'll at least be able to be able to offer a max contract to both superstars.
When you look at some of the moves they made specifically the Darren Collison trade. He's a guy who's very young and athletic which is something the Mavs have been missing at the point guard position. I like that Crowder kid too. He's a pretty athletic defender and can make life tough for opposing forwards. I thought he did a real solid job on Pau Gasol. Pau had 23 points, but he only shot 8/19 from the field. Crowder reminds me of the Manimal in Denver. Great energy player and I think he's gonna be terrific for the Mavs. They desperately needed some young talent and athleticism. Now they have it with guys like Collison, Crowder, Roddy B, and also OJ Mayo.
The key for them is Dirk's health. Last season he got off to a very slow start, but once he got healthy he was terrific. The problem last season was Dallas just didn't have another guy besides Dirk who could really create for themselves or others. Now they have a couple of guys who can do it in Mayo and Collison. If Dirk can get back to the level he played at during the 2011 postseason when he was phenomenal then they got an outside chance at winning the West. I know that may sound crazy, but right now there's not really a clear cut best team out West. To me the Lakers and Spurs are the two best teams with Harden leaving OKC, but the Mavs with some luck and with Dirk can challenge them and who knows maybe they pull of a re run of 2011.
Id like to go after Bynum and Paul this offseason. D12 is too much drama and cant make a FT,thats huge. I just read an article that said CP# and D12 had a total plan to both sign with Dallas until D12 him hawed. Now supposedly it caused a riff between the two. CP3 is like an annoying lil baby but he is the best PG in the game. He is the only PG that can completely take a game over. Rondo and Deron never seem to do this on a consistent basis.
How's OJ doing so far?

Obama on failed 2nd term agenda: "Maybe I should just pack up and go home"
President Obama sarcastically dismissed concerns over his struggles to pass key components of his second term agenda at a White House press conference Tuesday.
"Maybe I should just pack up and go home," Obama said. "Golly."
The president acknowledged that he had struggled to pass a bill to repeal the sequester or implement new gun controls, but said he was "actually confident there are a range of things that we're going to be able to get done."

WATCH: Steven Tyler tries to slide note under Miley Cyrus' hotel door
Listen to Aerosmith on iHeartRadio | Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Steven Tyler tried to leave a note under Miley Cyrus' hotel room door in Finland on Saturday.
The Aerosmith rocker posted a video on Facebook (called "Room Service In Helsinki") in which he's seen approaching a door while saying, in an Elmer Fudd voice, "I think Miley Cyrus is here. But shh! She's very, very sleepy."
But Tyler can't manage to slide the paper under the door or through the side.
"I can't seem to get it in her door. Maybe I ought to bang on it," he says.
Ultimately, Tyler sticks his message in the keycard slot.
Cyrus retweeted the video, but it's not clear if she and Tyler ever met up.
Check out the video below!

And right now, after just a few games into the match, Williams is already talking to herself, down a break at 3-1.
On Wednesday, Williams posted on Twitter a response from the American Civil Liberties Union declining to take up her case.
"He was flinging red-meat answers intending to fire up the crowd," Williams told me.
Meaning, Williams has basically previously displayed his willingness to spout government propaganda in exchange for cash.
Williams did not need to feel around when he reached from his wheelchair to pet Orlando.
Mrs. Williams was then living in his house, which was in Gough Square.
Mellefont, promised to, and in love with Cynthia,—Mr. Williams.
But Mr. Williams rose and went out noiselessly, soon to return.
Here Williams touched just before his death; but no teachers were left there.
After dinner I read the whole trial of Bishop and Williams, and their confession.
masc. proper name, from Old North French Willaume, Norman form of French Guillaume, of Germanic origin (cf. Old High German Willahelm), from willio "will" + helma "helmet." After the Conquest, the most popular given name in England until supplanted by John.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by Risen Star, Apr 20, 2013.
So far he did the best. 3/4. Good job!
Thanks, man! I wish I would have put these players on the list:
LB Gerald Hodges
LB Sean Porter
RB Joseph Randle
RB Stepfan Taylor
QB Tyler Wilson
CB B.W. Webb
I really these are some of the guys we're targeting for Day 3!
Getting 3 players correct is outstanding. I've got 2 so far, which is the best I've ever done.
Thanks, Risen.
Who do you do like for Day 3?
I'd love to get two out of these three players: G/T David Quessenberry (although he probably won't fall to us), LB Gerald Hodges would be a great value pick, and RB Joseph Randle can serve as a solid backup RB.
RB Stepfan Taylor is someone I can see in the 5th round also.
Taylor would be a great pick. Or Franklin. My two favorite backs in this draft.
Would I hate the idea of drafting Barrett Jones even with Frederick in the fold? No, I would not. I don't buy the negative talk. The guy can play.
I'm still hoping for Watford, JMU OG.
Shameless tooting my own horn, but I got 3/4 as well. Just lucky more than anything. Pretty much just went with guys I knew we brought in.
Good job, Picksix. I haven't checked everyone but I think you're tied for the lead.
I only have 2, but I do have 9 players still on my list yet to be drafted.
Yeah, you're sitting pretty. I still have a couple. If they take Faulk and Randle, I'll have a good haul.
picsix and Muhast are killing it.
They may not be finished either.
Have to say that's pretty impressive! Great job!
That is brilliant I hope you are correct and improve on that number today.
I'm back in the running with two.
5. C - Travis Frederick - Wisconsin
17. CB - BW Webb - William & Mary
4/6 now.
I'd love to claim that I had some great insight, but really all I did was look up the list of who we brought in, and then picked players in the positions I thought we'd go. But thanks. Appreciate it.
You better stop by and pick up a lottery ticket while you are still hot.
So Picksix wins with 4 correct. The most I've ever seen anybody get.
This was an interesting thread to go back and read now. Pretty cool. Picking 4 out 7 is amazing.
Alot, including myself, got 3. Randle, Terrence Williams, and Wilcox were pretty easy to see. Many got Frederick, and a few got B.W. Webb.
I dont think anyone predicted Escobar or Holloman.
Only got two last year

college athletics • The NCAA ousted its chief enforcement officer Monday in the wake of a report detailing missteps in the organization's handling of a high-profile investigation of the University of Miami.
The NCAA's president, Mark Emmert, said that he had appointed lawyer Jonathan Duncan as the interim vice president for enforcement, replacing Julie Roe Lach, a longtime NCAA employee who landed the job two years ago.
Emmert declined to comment on Roe Lach's status during a call with reporters Monday in which he responded to the findings of an external investigation showing that NCAA investigators had violated internal protocols, acted against the advice of legal counsel and went beyond the organization's own limits while looking for evidence in the Miami case.
Pac-12 reprimands coach over shove
college basketball • California coach Mike Montgomery was reprimanded by the Pac-12 on Monday for shoving one of his own players star guard Allen Crabbe in the chest during Cal's 76-68 win over Southern California on Sunday night. The conference did not announce what specific punishment Montgomery received, although he will not be suspended. During a timeout early in the second half, Montgomery yelled at Crabbe for nonchalant play and then shoved him in the chest with both hands. Crabbe had to be restrained by teammates. Montgomery downplayed the run-in immediately after the game but later issued an apology through the school.
• Duke says former star Phil Henderson has died. Coach Mike Krzyzewski said that Henderson's mother told him that her son died Sunday at his home in the Philippines at age 44. No cause of death was given. Henderson was a captain and the leading scorer on the 1989-90 Duke team that lost to UNLV in the national championship game.

Major Exhibition of Winnipeg artist Wanda Koop opens at the National Gallery of Canada
Ottawa - February 17, 2011
On view from February 18 to May 15, 2011
The National Gallery of Canada is pleased to present Wanda Koop: On the Edge of Experience, a major survey exhibition of this distinguished and inventive Canadian artist's work produced over the last 25 years.
The exhibition will illustrate the Winnipeg artist's ongoing take on how technology impacts nature by drawing together not only her large plywood paintings from the 1980s with her more recent work, but by restaging past exhibitions in miniature and even recreating the artist's own studio.
Throughout her career, Wanda Koop has become known for creating environments with her paintings to allow her works to play off the space where they are viewed. Through the use of detailed scale models, visitors to the exhibition will be able to experience 16 of these previous signature installations, which could not otherwise have been simultaneously restaged at the National Gallery of Canada.
On the Edge of Experience will also recreate a life-sized room based on Wanda Koop's working studio, complete with drawings, notebooks, piles of post-it notes and other items that have served to inspire the artist's creative process over the years.
"Wanda Koop's work is both intimidating and disarming at the same time," said NGC Director Marc Mayer. "It seems to have been done with such facility and ease you might imagine making them yourself, but they're so graphically powerful you're overwhelmed by them and the sheer courage of the scale.
"There are many large paintings jammed together in this exhibition, it's like an environment of paint, a wonderland of Wanda Koop's making, with the characteristics of a hallucination and the power to take you someplace new," he said.
This exhibition, co-organized with the Winnipeg Art Gallery, promises to give visitors a compelling viewing of the last 25 years of this artist's 40-year career by having works from a variety of different series, or bodies of work, shown together for the first time.
Highlights from the Exhibition
The exhibition showcases 12 of the artist's strikingly large plywood painting from the 1980s when a financially struggling Wanda Koop traded her paintings for sheets of plywood with the owner of a lumber yard to obtain the materials she needed to keep working. Some of these paintings focus in on the image of a face or hockey mask while others depict landscapes, flowers or a helicopter.
Hybrid Human represents an example of Wanda Koop's most recent work. A collaboration with noted choreographer Jolene Bailie, composer Susan Chafe and lighting designer Hugh Conacher, Hybrid Human includes paintings, video projections and music.
About Wanda Koop
Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 1951, the daughter of Russian Mennonite immigrants, Koop moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba as a young child and has called that city home ever since. While still a university student, Koop's work was included in an exhibition in 1972 at The Winnipeg Art Gallery. She graduated in 1973 from the Lemoine Fitzgerald School of Art, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg. She has been the recipient of numerous national and international awards in recognition of her achievements as an artist. Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, the former Governor General of Canada, appointed Wanda Koop a member of the Order of Canada in 2006. In 1998 she founded Art City as a storefront art centre in Winnipeg. The goal of which remains to bring together contemporary visual artists and inner-city youth to explore the creative process.

HEARTLESS yobs used catapults to kill and maim ducklings at a Hampshire beauty spot.
The gang of young thugs used the mallards as "target practice"
while trespassing on a nature reserve at Furzedown Farm in Hythe.
Deryk Noble, who owns the land with his six children, saw the teenagers firing lead pellets at the defenceless creatures from just yards away.
Some of the baby ducks were dead when he arrived at the scene, off Frost Lane. One had a broken leg and another had its insides hanging out and had to be put down by a vet.
After chasing the yobs off, he rushed to call police – only to find the youths had returned in greater numbers just 45 minutes later for a second cruel assault.
Deryk's son Martin stood up to them and they fled.
The sick act sparked outrage on social networking site Facebook, with residents in the Hythe and Waterside area urging the community to work together to find the "vile individuals".
One popular idea is for residents to pay £10 towards a reward fund for information leading to the conviction of those responsible.
One resident posted that if 100 people "are sickened by this act"
and want to pay £10, £1,000 could be raised, encouraging someone to name the "scumbags"
Martin Noble has thanked the community for their support and is backing the call for a reward to catch the culprits.
He said: "All the Nobles are behind this as I'm sure half of Hythe are now. I've just been to check the remaining ducklings and two have broken legs.
"We are looking after them, hopefully they will make it back to health. We need to find all those responsible. There are roughly eight who had a part in it."
Martin's sister Lucy, 37, said: "My dad had been so excited to show the ducks to his first granddaughter who is visiting this weekend for his birthday.
Target practice "He saw them using the ducks as target practice.
"Why do some young people today think it is OK to do this sort of thing? We just find it unbelievable anybody would want to do this."
The conservation area is well known in the New Forest and features a wide range of wildlife and plants.
Police were called shortly after the incident, on Thursday at 5.40pm, and have launched an appeal for witnesses.
A spokesman said four male and two female teenagers, all wearing caps and tracksuits, were involved in the catapult attack.
Three of the ducks were killed in the rampage.
A number of people were stopped and searched in the area in the hours that followed – but no weapons were recovered and no arrests have been made.
Anyone who witnessed the attack should contact PC Heather Barrow at Hythe police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Katy Perry announces new album 'Prism,' out in October
Listen to Katy Perry on iHeartRadio
Katy Perry is taking to the streets with news about her upcoming album, literally. An oversized gold-plated truck was spotted driving around the streets of Los Angeles on Monday afternoon, and on its side was a huge message from the star, reading "Katy Perry, Prism, 10-22-13."
Twitter users started posting the photos of truck around town, and Katy took to the site to let them know she was really the one behind it. She told fans that she'd re-tweet their photos of what she called the "PRISM semi." She added, "Don't worry, Los Angeles is just the first stop on the map."
Find the #PRISM semi, take a picture and I'll RT you. Don't worry, Los Angeles is just the first stop on the map.— Katy Perry (@katyperry) July 30, 2013
Prism could be the name of the follow-up to Katy's mega-successful Teenage Dream album, which spawned hits like "Firework," "ET," "The One That Got Away" and "California Gurls."
