So I recently received my AWUS036NHR. The package is missing some accessories so I'm in the process of contacting the seller
Anyway, I'm running BT5 r3 and the card is picked up right away. Put it in monitor mode and ran airodump and nothing shows up. So that's great. Guess I'm not one of the lucky ones. Also can't increase the Tx power over 20.
So next I go find the latest compat wireless drivers and install them. Now the card is working in airodump although it seems to not be showing associations. One came up when there should have been a lot. Stations were showing up but just the one was associated. Did a comms test against my test WEP router and injection works fine. The only issue is that the card isn't channel hopping in airodump. You have to manually tell it what channel to listen on.
So I restart airodump capturing IVs, successfully fake-auth with aireplay, and start an ARP replay with aireplay. It starts fine and the ARP requests start coming almost immediately but very slowly. Something like bursts of 5-7 requests every 1 or 2 seconds. Airodump shows the data packets going up for that AP in a somewhat similar manner but bigger bursts (which is usually the opposite of what normally happens). Compared to my built in Atheros AR9287, it's just pathetic. At a strong signal, the built in card can generate 40,000 ARP requests in less than a minute and up to 7-8 minutes for a low signal. At the speed this Alfa is going, like 400 ARP requests and 1000 data packets in airodump a minute, it would take 40 minutes to gain 40,000 IVs.
So I decided to leave it running anyway and it errors out around 2500 ARP requests. I have two terminals open and one says error: network down, the other says something like wifi_read() error or something similar. Basically, the card froze. Have to unload and reload the driver before the card responds again. Tried again and this time it froze at like 800 ARP requests, like the whole laptop froze requiring a hard reboot. So these drivers are garbage. Tried the instructions in the first post of this thread, same thing but now it channel hops properly. Tried the same instructions but with updated drivers from another post in this thread and same thing.
So airodump works without any associations, injection works, wpa association works, wash didn't find any WPS APs even though it should have, and it can fake-auth properly. Changing tx power works if you make the necessary change like was said in another post in this thread. Oddly enough it won't let me set it past 30 but sometimes when I bring the card up it defaults to 33.
What's good about it? It works well in windows (not sure of the tx power though?). The sensitivity of the card is light years beyond the built-in one. Was only picking up 6 networks before but this Alfa picks up around 14 sitting on the table and almost 30 sitting in the window. When we go visit my father in the summers, he lives on a fairly small island with no internet. Some of the family around me are just too far for the built-in card to connect to. This Alfa will definitely come in handy.
So would I recommend this card? At this point if you're just looking for a boost in range for windows, then yes. Although the card says up to 150 mbps compared to the built-in standard 450 mbps (which nobody ever hits anyway). For BT, I would have to say no. When researching the other cards there's the NHA which is supported well but low power, the 036NH and 051NH, which are buggy and unstable, and the H which is legendary but lacks N support. So guess I'm stuck waiting for proper working drivers?

Michigan, New Mexico and Wisconsin really aren't swing states anymore. And while Missouri doesn't feel like a swing state anymore, it sports a closer margin than most of the other states on this list. In fact, other than Iowa, nothing on this list looks particularly tight at the moment. (And remember, the aggregates would look even worse for the GOP if I omitted Rasmussen's bogus results. Omit the GOP's favorite pollster, and Arizona is suddenly a 2.5-point Romney lead. Missouri is a 45-45 tie.)

Perfume Making: Designer Style
When celebrity publicists need to amp up the sex appeal of their starlets, they send them straight to a bombshell boot camp courtesy of Alexis Vogel, a makeup guru who can unleash everyone's inner sex kitten. It's not just celebs who get her good-girl-gone-vamp treatment: Her real-women-makeover infomercials are a personal obsession. (I will never again question the magical powers of a well-executed smoky eye.) And apparently I'm not the only one obsessed. This fall, just as longtime Vogel client Pam Anderson was Vivienne Westwood's muse on the runway and off, Vogel's signature megahair and va-va-voom lips seemed to be everywhere at fall Fashion Week. Here, Vogel shares her hair and makeup how-tos.
Pamela Anderson at Vivienne Westwood's fall 2009 show
"There's a bombshell inside every woman," says Vogel. Vogel swears by Armani Designer Foundation, which she uses to prep the face. "It's so beautiful and dewy," she says about the makeup. "It glows with your own skin texture." Here, one of her famous real-woman before-and-afters.

Nuclide 6-60, purchased in 1968, but extensively upgraded through the years is a semi-automated gas source isotope-ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS) originally used for routine sulfur, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen isotope analyses. The principal use today is for larger problematic or 'dirty' samples. Located in Denver.
MAT 251, purchased in 1981, is an automated gas source isotope-ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS) used for analyzing carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen isotopes. This mass spectrometer is now used exclusively for carbonate carbon and oxygen isotope analyses that are prepared automatically on an attached Kiel Device. This Kiel device prepares CO2 from ultra small (5.0 micrograms) carbonate samples (e.g. individual foraminifers, coral laminae) in individual vials at the rate of 40 samples plus standards every 24 hours. The system is supported by an automated sampling device capable of sampling along growth zones of carbonates as thin as 10 microns. Located in Denver.
MAT 252, purchased in 1992, is an automated multi-purpose gas source isotope-ratio mass spectrometer used for analyzing carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen isotopes. The instrument is equipped with a microvolume for samples as small as 100 nanomoles and a cracker device for automated processing of gasses in 6mm closed tubes. Attached to the MAT 252 are two peripherals:
VG Optima, purchased in 1996, is a fully automated gas source IRMS with 5 collectors suitable for carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and sulfur isotope analyses. Installed in February 1997, this instrument is equipped with 10 cracker tube inlet ports, a multiprep unit for automated CO2-water equilibration oxygen isotope measurements and carbonate acid digestion CO2 isotope analyses of 60 samples each loading, a multi-element analyzer for total combustion and analysis of carbon and nitrogen from the same sample sequentially, and/or sulfur isotope analyses all automated with a 50 sample carousel (approximately 5 minutes/analysis - 100 samples/day). The inlet manifold is equipped with a small automated sample cold finger to process samples with CO2 yields of several hundred nanomoles. Located in Denver.

MAID is (Mutually) Assured Information Destruction: "Maid cleans up after you're no longer around."
[edit] General overview
M.A.I.D. is a framework that provides time sensitive remote key escrow and provable authentication with optional distress coding. It automatically destroys cryptographic keys after a given user configurable time threshold is crossed.
[edit] Features
- Provable authentication (with either local or remote attestation)
- Cryptographic key storage on remote systems
- Optional distress coding during authentication
- Time sensitive user configurable key destruction
- Strong multi-party anonymity is a requirement for participation.

We believe this system will possibly work exactly one time for a single person. Consult with a qualified lawyer or solicitor in your legal jurisdiction. You may be that single lucky person.
[edit] History
M.A.I.D was initially discussed by it's creator Jacob Appelbaum at the Chaos Computer Club's 22nd Communications Congress in the winter of 2005.

Well, this is a fairly sensitive subject. First question anybody will ask (I know that) is - "Dude, why do you want to change your MAC & connect to an AP? " Answer is, there is a fine line between 'stealing neighbor's internet' & learning.... This MAC changing is really simple in linux & this thing should work and if it doesn't work, I like to know WHY?
Scenario is - EEEPC 701 with BT3, built in atheros AR5BXB63 - works great in 'normal' condition, even supports monitor mode & injection. However, if I change the MAC,it can see the AP, but can't connect. Currently, AP is set to WPA but I've also tried to connect after changing it to WEP - no luck!! I'm using the "Wireless Assistant" to connect.Code:macchanger -m 00:11:22:33:44:55 ath0
With the same system + USB Edimax, everything works just fine... I think this is an old problem, unsolved here & here and this solution didn't work for me. Any idea will be appreciated.
PS: I don't use MAC filtering.... if you are curious...

I'm looking to buy my first board I have been surfing for a few year (4 I think I have'nt kept track) and have used both short and long boards. I have not however used hybrid sizes, funboards, or fish. I'm looking for a board that is affordable as some family members are allowing me to pick it out as a gift and are paying for it. I've looked at Frierson Designs, Austin Surfboards, and 757 surfboards. I like the 757 designs and info posted up on their site. I need to know how dependable their boards are and how long they are likely to last. I need a board that will grow with me as I learn how to do more manuevering in waves. Also does anyone know pricing/types of boards that Frierson and Austin Surfboards typically make? I live an hour or two inland of the beach and therefore cannot regularly visit shops, does anyone have any reccomendations to make of the VA beach shops? any information would be greatly apreciated even if it is just how concaves work or the reason for a swallowtail on a board.

WATCH: Queens Of The Stone Age unveil new video for 'Kalopsia'
Listen to Queens of the Stone Age on iHeartRadio
The outpouring of new Queens of the Stone Age music is still going strong. The band's latest release is a new video for an abbreviated version of their "...Like Clockwork" track "Kalopsia."
The gory animated clip picks up where last week's "I Appear Missing" ended and opens with a definition of the song's title, which is a "condition where things appear more beautiful than they are."
But it's hard to find the beauty in the video's star - a grinning masked monster who strolls through town melting people's faces along the way. Pitchfork.com says the "Kalopsia" visuals were created by U.K. artist Boneface, who also designed the album cover for "...Like Clockwork."
Queens of the Stone Age's sixth studio effort is due out June 4th. Josh Homme and the guys released the official lead single, "My God is the Sun," last month, and have also previewed several tracks during recent live performances and TV appearances.

Pat - from Wadsworth, OH
A number of things could be going wrong with the recipe you are using. First, make sure you're using exactly the same ingredients you always did. If you are making these cookies with margarine or a spread instead of butter, make sure what you are using today is the same as years ago when your first started baking the recipe. While the standards for margarine are the same as they were there are a variety of spreads available today are different than they were – the amount of oil, the type of oil, the amount of liquid, all could be different and each could make your cookies fail. We always recommend butter for baking – the flavor is unbeatable, and the fat content which effects the bakeout always remains the same.
Other things to consider: have you changed the type of liquid you're using, the brand of flour or sugar (cane sugar and beet sugar react differently when you bake with them) – again, all could potentially be different than what you once used.
If all ingredients are the same, check your oven to assure the temperature you've set the thermostat at is correct inside the oven. Too warm or too cool an oven effects how your cookies will bake.

Attention, Kate Gosselin: It's Time to Rejoin Real Life
Yes, Kate Gosselin, we know that it's tough returning to real life after reality TV. But sometimes, it's just what needs to be done.
-Lucia Peters
Kate Gosselin, why are you so ridiculous? Seriously. Yes, getting Kate Plus 8 yanked out from underneath you was tough. But it's time to buck up and get back into the swing of things.
In the aftermath of the cancellation of Kate Plus 8, you see, Kate has been having trouble getting back to normal life. Earlier, she told the Huffington Post that she would do anything necessary in order to take care of her kids; but now, that's proving to be a little more difficult than at first it seemed.
The trouble is that Kate may not really know what "normal life" is anymore. Her first choice replacement gig after the cancellation of Kate Plus 8 involved staying in television, but things aren't rolling out quite the way she had planned. An insider told HuffPo, "She has approached many different networks, including pitching a travel show idea to her old network, TLC, but so far no one has said yes." The insider went on to say that Kate "assumed that given her fame, producers and networks would be knocking her over with job offers and is, to say the least, very surprised that she hasn't received a single one."
Here's the thing: I realize that when you work in reality TV, you're opening yourself up to the scrutiny of the world. I also realize that by and large, you will be perceived in an unkind light, and that you will be written about extensively. Most of this writing will not be complementary. I know this, because I am one of those people doing the writing. And yes, when you're bombarded with negative opinions about yourself every time you go online, you're probably going to try to avoid said opinions as much as possible. At the same time, though, it's generally a good idea to at least be AWARE of how the public perceives you, because it will directly affect your career later on.
Read 25 Things About Zooey Deschanel
Frankly, I'm surprised that Kate is surprised that the networks aren't so quick to pick up another show with her. I suspect that the reason the networks are steering clear of her is because they know that right now, she's not terribly popular with the public. In fact, we're positively celebrating the fact that we will no longer have to deal with Kate Plus 8. And the networks are wise to this: They know that any show featuring her would likely tank right now because NO ONE WANTS TO WATCH HER ANYMORE. Which means, Kate, that you may want to consider realigning your perception of "normal life." A life in television is far from the norm for most families, even large families, and even families with single parents. There ARE other ways around the problem. You used to be a nurse; why not try to exercise those skills and qualifications again?
Just to play devil's advocate for a minute, though, here's what a reality show casting director speaking to HuffPo had to say about the issue: "Like many reality stars Kate is in a very difficult position. Who wants to go back to a real day job after being paid to work three or four months a year. Everyone I have ever met on a reality show thinks it will never end. They quit their day jobs and assume they will become rich and famous. They do become infamous [but]– with the exception of Bethenny Frankel— they never become rich. Plus, who is going to hire them for a real job after they have made a fool out of themselves on TV?"
And I do see this side of things. I do. Kate, I know that it's hard to go back to the way things were before the show when you've gotten so used to life during the show. And I also realize that it might be harder to get a "real" job again, purely because you chose to make your and your children's life so public. But just because something is hard doesn't mean you should give up. Having spent a whole lot of time job hunting myself, sometimes what you think you'll be doing isn't actually what you end up doing. So stop a minute. Step back. Rethink things. And be willing to roll with the punches.
Welcome back to real life.

What is the APEC-TEL MRA?
The APEC-TEL Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) is a multilateral arrangement between economies in the APEC region. The APEC TEL MRA for Conformity Assessment of Telecommunications Equipment, which came into effect on 1 July 1999, facilitates the recognition of each other's conformity assessment results.
The MRA for Equivalence of Technical Requirements, which was endorsed by the APEC Telecommunications Ministers on 31 October 2010, builds upon the MRA for Conformity Assessment by facilitating the recognition of equivalent standards or technical requirements and provides for a further reduction in the costs of conformity assessment.
These arrangements are intended to streamline the conformity assessment procedures for a wide range of telecommunications and telecommunications-related equipment, facilitating trade among the signatories to the APEC-TEL MRA.
What are the benefits of MRAs?
The APEC-TEL MRA provides benefits to Manufacturers, Conformity Assessment Bodies, Regulators and Consumers.
When manufacturers can build, test and ship their products to supply the global telecommunications infrastructure on a more rational, competitive basis, everyone wins. Regulators can be assured that users and networks will not be harmed, producers can more easily manage the approvals process, and consumers worldwide will have access to the same level of technology at the same time and under the same market conditions. Specific benefits include:
For Manufacturers
For Conformity Assessment Bodies
For Regulators
For Consumers
Scope of equipment and parameters that can be covered by the MRA
The equipment scope covers equipment subject to telecommunications regulations of each party. It may include radio equipment, telecommunications equipment, and telephone terminal equipment. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical safety regulations may apply.
The following publications provide information on the MRA and procedures for economies to follow to enable them to participate.

A Two-Pronged Approach to Season-Long Weed Control
by Eric Gallandt, PhD, Weed Ecologist, University of Maine
In sustainable agriculture systems, a comprehensive weed management strategy involves a deliberate, two-pronged approach:
- Reduce the existing weed seedling density and the weed seedbank.
- Block additional weed seeds from gaining a toehold.
Effecting the first of these can be the more time- and labor-intensive, but when implemented in tandem the two phases work together to maximal effect. Here are the basic components of this dual approach.
1. Reduce Weed Seedling Density: Weeding & Seedbank Management
Make several passes — with the right tools. Many farmers and gardeners focus solely on "weeding" — that is, cultivation or hoeing — to reduce the density of weeds competing with their crops.
Working rates for weeding techniques — the time required to effectively complete the task — follow a predictable order: tractor cultivation; push tools (for example, wheel hoes); long-handled tools; short-handled tools; and lastly, the slowest method, hand pulling.
For tractor cultivation or wheel hoes, working rates are the same over a wide range of weed densities, but some weeds will inevitably escape these events. Hand pulling and/or hoeing, on the other hand, can provide 100% weed control, but with time and cost increasing in proportion to the density of weeds present.
Making several passes with tractor or push-tools can contribute to an efficient weeding strategy.
For more information, see Evaluation of Scale-appropriate Weed Control Tools for the Small Farm , a Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education project.
More weedlings = more cultivation. Invariably, some weedlings will survive. It is important to note that the density of surviving weeds, or "escapes," is proportional to the initial density. In other words, more weed seedlings equals more survivors.
Thus, as weed pressure increases, the number of cultivation events will have to increase to keep pace.
Reversing this trend of increasing weeds and weeding cost requires a more comprehensive weed management plan, one that includes late-season efforts to:
Weed when it's dry. Physical weed control generally relies on slicing, uprooting, or burying small seedlings.
In moist soil conditions, seedlings are more likely to re-root and continue growing. For example, in a field corn cultivation experiment, we found our weed control efforts decreased in proportion by 8% with each 1% increase in volumetric soil water.
In other words, cultivation is more effective in dry soil conditions.
If beds are prepared in advance, they should be shallowly worked (to a depth of 2 inches, or approximately 5 cm) immediately before planting, to kill emerging and established seedlings.
Flame-weeding is another option for creating a stale seedbed, a technique that is particularly useful in slow-to-emerge crops such as carrot or beet. Flaming should target annual broadleaf weeds ; grasses, with their basal growing points, are less susceptible. Ideally, flaming should be performed a day or so before crop emergence; if the ground is cracking and the crop starting to emerge it can be killed by the flame. Flaming may also be used in the fall as part of a seedbank management program.
To learn more, watch the UMaine Weed Ecology Group's Seed Flaming Project video .
2. Prevent Weed Establishment: MulchMulch crops to spread weeding workload. Plastic and organic mulches can serve several purposes. They can:
Plastic mulches are widely used for heat-loving vegetables (eg, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, melons, basil), but can also be applied on a wide range of other crops (ie, crucifers, other cucurbits, onions, garlic, head lettuces, cut flowers).
Living mulches are another option for the areas between plastic mulched beds, but compared to straw, hay, or leaves, the living mulch will compete with the crop for water and nutrients, and provide an environment more favorable for perennial weeds to proliferate. If living mulches are used, consider strategies to manage the competition. For example, drip irrigation and band application of fertilizers can be used to deliver water and nutrients to the crop; frequent mowing can manage resource uptake by the living mulch.
Over time, these simple principles and practices reduce existing weed seedlings and seed banks, and block any additional weed seeds from gaining ground.
Of the many different approaches farmers and gardeners can take to weed management, these are sustainable agriculture fundamentals everyone can put in place. If you elect to implement these steps, remember to track the time and labor involved in relation to effectiveness, and don't be afraid to experiment with new ideas to find what works best for you.
Eric Gallandt, PhD Associate Professor of Weed Ecology & Management University of Maine, Orono
Dr. Gallandt's research program is focused on ecologically-based weed management in organic farming systems, with recent projects examining hand tools for small-scale producers, sources of variability in cultivation, weed seed predation, and strategies to manage weed seedbanks. He also teaches in UMaine's Sustainable Agriculture undergraduate program, the first such BS program in the US, established in 1988.

David N. Snyder wrote:(until Metteyya comes after the Dhamma has died out)
It's also possible the idea of previous Buddhas/upcoming Buddhas was borrowed from Jain belief, and is not native to the Dhamma. In any event, it seems a focus on cosmology and past/future is one of the trademarks of early Mahayana. Richard Gombrich remarks that it may be an early misinterpretation of the Tevijja Sutta which contributed to the Mahayana sense that metta/karuna was becoming second-best to vipassana.

Beyonce & Jay-Z visit Cuba while celebrating anniversary
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio | Listen to Jay-Z on iHeartRadio
Jay-Z and Beyonce are feeling the love on their fifth wedding anniversary. According to "The Miami Herald," the super couple decided to celebrate by taking a trip to Cuba on Thursday and were greeted by fans as they strolled the streets of Havana.
The star was photographed wearing an ethnic animal printed tunic with her hair in braids, with her man by her side casually smoking a cigar. They were joined by their mothers on the trip.
One top Cuban diplomat, Jose Cabanas, tells Reuters the media should be paying more attention to Jay and Bey's visit. Cabanas used the media's apparent neglect of stars' anniversary trip as an example of how it was focusing too much on Yoani Sanchez, the popular dissident Cuban blogger who is currently on a 80-day world tour.

Bauer fans 12 in first complete game
D-backs' top prospect establishes two career highs at Reno
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | August 17, 2012 9:36 PM ET
Here was Savage watching his former pupil make his 20th Minor League start of the season, and -- get this -- Bauer was being efficient. There's that word again. The knock on the 21-year-old who can throw everything but the kitchen sink toward home plate is that he's trying to be too cute, too often on the mound.
So after this outing, Bauer (as well as teammate and fellow UCLA alumnus Charles Brewer) spoke with Savage going on 10 minutes.
"He was saying it was just like old times, but he made fun of me, saying it took me 135 pitches in college to throw a complete game. And he got a lot of heat for [letting me do] it," Bauer said. "He was kind of razzing me about that."
And congratulating him, too.
For on this night, Bauer did it in 102 pitches -- with 84-degree heat and a 9 mph wind blowing out to right field at one of the toughest ballparks in one of the toughest Minor Leagues on pitchers.
The D-backs' top prospect went the distance for the first time and struck out a career-high 12 batters in Triple-A Reno's 8-2 victory over visiting Round Rock.
The game ended the Aces' six-game skid and the Express' season-high six-game winning streak.
Bauer (5-1) became the second home pitcher to throw a complete game at Aces Ballpark -- Billy Buckner, now a member of the Red Sox organization, tossed a four-hit shutout and fanned 12 on July 31, 2009 against Tacoma -- and the fifth to accomplish the feat at any locale in team history.
Bauer went 31 pro appearances at four different levels, including the bigs, without recording a "CG." He completed 10 in 16 starts during his final season at UCLA.
"It's about time," he said. "I was used to throwing complete games in college. Obviously, I don't like getting taken off the mound. There were extenuating circumstances with pitch counts and getting guys in the bullpen work in game situations, but this was really cool to finish it and shake my catcher's hand after the game."
If his first three bouts with Express batters were any indication, Bauer was in for another long night, five days after yielding five runs against Albuquerque. The right-hander gave up a single to leadoff man Julio Borbon, who advanced on a wild pitch and scored on Joey Butler's base hit to center field.
Righting himself quickly, the Aces' ace retired the next 13 hitters. He ended up allowing two runs on five hits.
"[Butler] cheated on the fastball," Bauer said. "After that, I just stopped throwing fastballs. I mixed in a lot of reverse sliders, sliders, curveballs, changeups and mixed in a fastball every now and then. But, yeah, I probably only threw 35-40 percent fastballs tonight. That's when I am most effective. If I could do that every time out, I would do that every time out."
So exactly how much of that famously deep repertoire was at his disposal?
"I had six [pitches] working," he said. "It is a byproduct of me being healthy and getting back out of the delivery that I am used to throwing out of. I am getting closer to that all the time."
Bauer rested and rehabbed his strained groin and sore knee -- the patella tendon down to his shin is irritated from overuse -- during two weeks without pitching in a game. But that doesn't mean he wasn't also sharpening his Tim Lincecum-like route toward home plate.
"My knee still nags me a little bit but doesn't bother me when I am pitching," he said. "Having that stuff cleared up between starts allows me to work on my mechanics and getting stuff back to where it needs to be instead of just trying to get healthy to make my next start, which I have been fighting since my second start of the year."
Which makes Friday night's performance all the more special. After four up-and-down starts in his first Major League shot in June and July -- and that two-week shutdown to press the reset button -- Bauer appears to have that Bauer-ness back. Even a casual observer tuning into his final inning on MiLB.TV had to take note of the tilt to his plus-plus curveball.
That's the pitch Bauer employed to fan shortstop Luis Hernandez -- the ninth different member of the Express to go down on strikes -- and, soon after, Brad Nelson to end the game.
Borbon scored Round Rock's other run by tripling to start the ninth and sprinting down the line on Butler's one-out ground ball.
Bauer has 143 strikeouts over 117 1/3 innings in the Minors this year. He recorded 11 on June 8 at Tucson.
"It's pretty cool," he said of his new career best. "I like strikeouts, that's no secret. For me, it's fun when I get the two strikes to put a guy away. The biggest thing tonight was it didn't take two or three pitches to do it. With two strikes, I put 'em away or he was out on a ball put in play, and that helped keep the pitch count down."
With his unplanned season nearing a close -- although he could help the D-backs down the stretch -- it's worth asking: Does Bauer really, finally, have his mojo back?
"It's probably unrealistic to expect to be as good as I was tonight and to throw everything for strikes the way I did tonight," he said. "It's obviously a nice goal to shoot for, but it was just good feel like I can execute stuff like I am used to executing stuff and have success doing it."
Express starter Greg Reynolds (10-8) gave up five runs on seven hits over seven innings.

Terra Nova Ultra Quasar
The best two-man tent in the world? What can I say…

The best two-man tent in the world?
- Build quality
- Terra Nova's after sales support
- Feeling of security when the going gets tough!
- Perhaps weight
What can I say about the TNQ that hasn't already been said! Is it the best two-man tent in the world? Probably.
I owned mine for about 10 years and it never, ever let me down. Torrential rain, blizzards, howling gales, the lot, it dealt with it all without a single hitch. The build quality is outstanding mainly due to the fabrics TN choose to use. You really couldn't rip one if you tried.
If you are travelling and camping in an extreme location and you know you want to sleep safe and sound, this is the only tent you'll need. Absolutely outstanding in every single way.

I've had my Ultra Quasar for 13 years and it's still as awesome as the day I bought it. It's been in torrential rain in Cumbria, howling gales in Scotland, under a foot of snow in the Alps and in the bush in Africa.
The quality is outstanding and well worth paying for. The groundsheet protector is worth getting.

Sleeps: 2
I lived in this tent for eight days in the Talkeetnas in Alaska. It is totally bombproof.
At ~8 pounds it is a tad on the heavy side for one but not so bad when split between two; not to mention, it is quite spacious for two and the two doors are a big plus. Set up is relatively easy. Continuous sleeves for four poles. The rain fly and guying take the most time.
I can say that this is a shelter I would trust if my life depended on it.

OK, so it costs serious money, but you get in return a 2-man tent you can have total confidence in -- rain, snow or force 10 gales won't phase it one bit. I've had mine for about 7/8 years and my respect for it has not diminished one bit. The groundsheet protector is worth getting though...

Absolute classic and you'll sleep safe anywhere, any place, any height. so quick to put up and so bombproof. had an endurance quasar before and made mistake of selling it for a TNF Mtn 25, which though good just wasn't up there with the Quasar, so I've gone full circle. now using the Ultra for the weight saving and the new design vents with plastic stiffeners don't drip like the old when you open your doors. 100% waterproof...100% foolproof. if I'd change anything, Terra Nova I'd say it's time to put windows on the fly door panels so you can read longer at night and watch storms go by. if you're considering one, BUY IT !

Overall a great tent. Has stood up to some serious abuse and minging weather over the last five years. Have slept three people regularly on backpacking trips. Just make sure you know them well!
You can pitch it pretty much anywhere. Unfortunately all the poles have cracked at the joints and have had to be reinforced with tape whilst on various trips. Eventually replaced by Terra Nova though. A night at Sligachan (Skye, Scotland) cracked one and also blew the porch open, soaking the inside. Make sure you do up the velcro. All the zips on the inner pulled away from the fabric and got knackered but hey, Terra Nova put that down to wear and tear. Just remember, it's a great tent but they are not as indestructible as you might think.

The Horrible Death of Ramble Plan AlphaAugust 3rd, 2007
Weather: Sunny skies, but gloomy outlook.
Road Conditions: FUBAR (Look it up…)
This is what They do when they don't know what else to do.
By now, everyone who reads this blog must know about the horrible tragedy of the I-35W bridge collapse. It has been on the national news almost 24/7 for the past couple of days.
Before I go any further, let me extend my heartfelt sympathy to the families of those who lost loved ones, or are anxiously visiting hospital patients, or are still waiting for news on somebody who is suddenly missing from their lives.
This was a horrible disaster, and it happened right here in my home town. So I have got to temper my frustration at losing my favorite route to and from work with an understanding that others have lost so much more.
Ramble Plan Alpha was my lifeline. It was the calm, slow route along beautiful parkways, down by the Mississippi River, that made commuting on a scooter during the Winter possible. The scenery was gorgeous, and the traffic moved along at speeds between 25 and 35 miles per hour.
It took me exactly one hour, plus or minus a couple of minutes, to complete Ramble Plan Alpha, almost every single time. On evenings when work had taken everything I had to give for that day, I welcomed the tranquility that this green corridor offered on the ride home.
But last Wednesday, something horrible happened. Now West River Road is buried under tons of concrete and steel, and the remains of who knows how many vehicles… and worse.
The City of Minneapolis put out a map of road closures, in response to this disaster. I faithfully downloaded it, and printed it out, to place under the clear cover of Frogwing's tankbag. In these days of uncertain road conditions, I have elected to rely on the multi-surface capability of my old faithful companion to get me to and from work.
But that map doesn't take into account the whims of civic so-called "leaders", and their desire to keep any unauthorized imagery from getting into the public domain. Roads are blocked off far from the published locations, to block any possible sightlines to the collapsed bridge, and the activities going on there. Only those with corporate press-passes are allowed access, because their imagery will be carefully scrutinized before publication.
I'm seeing badges everywhere. Police reserves, and even retirees are being imported from the surrounding suburbs, to man roadblocks and deny access to as many people as possible. I'm sure I could get there on foot, or even on a mountain bike, but there is no way to infiltrate the Authorities' battle lines on any kind of motor vehicle.
So tonight, Frogwing and I were funnelled into the worst traffic we have ever seen. Hennepin Avenue was an absolute nightmare. We had to resort to guerrilla tactics in order to get anywhere. Let's put it this way: we only took to the sidewalks when there were no pedestrians present.
To that guy in the big 4×4 diesel pickup truck who tried to run me over… Be glad it was only your mirror I amputated! I'm on a motorbike, asshole! I'm GOING to get ahead of you! GET USED TO IT!!!
(Note to Ride to Work(tm): This might be good bumper-sticker material. Oh, motorbikes don't have bumpers… never mind.)
This is a sample of the scenery on our new main route home from work.
So, we are now defaulting to a modified Ramble Plan Bravo. This takes us past The Sportsman's Pub, home of that wonderful chili that I reviewed last year.
The streets we use to get there are choked with the traffic overflow from I-35W, but so far I haven't been able to figure out a way around them. It's going to require an extra measure of patience, creativity, and maybe outright lawlessness to make my job worth the commute in the future.
I mean, we can't move. Housing near work is WAY higher than where I live right now. Our house is not ready for sale anyway, and it would take several years of hated labor on my part to bring it up to spec.
So, I am going to have to discover new Ramble Plans to get around all this craziness. When the Repugnican National Convention comes here next year, I'm gonna have to leave. There's no way I will grant Right of Way to Rich Bastards in Limosines… and they will have plenty of armed mercenaries willing to take me down.
Better to choose my battles….

PHILADELPHIA – Earlier this week, Penn's men's soccer team proclaimed that the start of the Ivy League season was akin to starting the season all over again.
Consider the Quakers 1-0.
A Jonny Dolezal goal in the 81' was the difference maker as Penn (4-6-0) knocked off defending Ivy League champion, Cornell (5-2-2), 1-0 in the Ivy opener for both sides.
Penn's third clean sheet of 2013 is its first in Ivy play since a 1-0 win over Brown at Rhodes Field in 2010. For goalkeeper Max Polkinhorne, seven saves in his first career Ivy League start were enough for his first career shutout.
Polkinhorne was busy to start the match, making four saves in the first half. He was called upon 0:35 into the game to make his first save, denying Sebastian Scales as he broke in free and looked to score top right corner. Polkinhorne's left hand had other plans, and Penn avoided a very early deficit. Scales would go on to lead all players in shots, with four – three of which were saved by Polkinhorne.
The Quakers had just one shot on goal in the first half, a shot from Matt Poplawski in the 15', which Kurtis Teskoski saved. Stephen Baker had a good opportunity for the Red and Blue in the final moments of the opening period, but his shot following a Quaker corner was blocked.
In the second half, Cornell again came out with a good chance early. Again, it was Scales as he earned a corner and sent a ball in which had to be cleared by Penn's defense. The Red and Blue would earn the next corner of the match, and it led to a quality chance.
Duke Lacroix served the ball in from the right corner, and it found the head of Dolezal. It looked as if the two quad-captains had connected to give the Quakers a lead in the 54', but Dolezal's header was booted off the line by a Cornell defender before it could cross the plane.
That sequence was all but replicated in the 81' as Lacroix served up a corner kick from the right side and Dolezal was first to it with his right foot. The ball went to the far left post, and clanged in for Dolezal's second career goal.
Polkinhorne was called on twice the rest of the way to preserve the shutout. First he was in perfect position to scoop up a Devin Morgan shot from the right win in the 84'. Next, he had to deny Scales one last time – a save in the 90'. That stop led to one final corner from the Big Red, and Polkinhorne was first to find the ball, hauling it – and a Penn win – in.
The Big Red has now lost consecutive matches for the first time since the 2010 season. For the Quakers, the win is the 64th against Cornell all-time, improving Penn's record to 64-32-12 against its Ivy rivals from Ithaca.
Penn continues Ivy League play next Saturday at Columbia, with a 7 p.m. kickoff.

Lajoie chosen for Scouts Hall of Fame
Longtime Tigers scout-turned-manager to be inducted June 9
By Charleston RiverDogs | April 17, 2012 4:48 PM ET
This will be the fifth year of honoring pro scouts, with the selections announced by The Goldklang Group, owners of the Charleston RiverDogs.
"The honor of inducting scouts that have given their lives to this profession and the game of baseball remains a tremendous privilege," said Tyler Tumminia, senior vice president of The Goldklang Group. "Over the past five years, the SHOF has transformed from an idea into an initiative that is widely lauded within the industry. We are proud to continue this tradition of celebrating the careers of these deserving and distinguished scouts."
Criteria for induction includes a minimum of 20 years of pro scouting experience, with selection based on a combination of quantifiable success in the field, contributions made to the game in other areas of the sport whether professional or amateur, and importantly, their involvement and dedication to the local community that is honoring them through induction.
Lajoie, who will be enshrined posthumously but will be represented by his widow, Mary, was a player, manager, scout and front-office executive. The general manager of the Tigers from 1984-'90, Lajoie was at the helm when Detroit captured the 1984 World Series over the San Diego Padres. That championship team featured manager Sparky Anderson, pitchers Jack Morris and Willie Hernandez, and stars Alan Trammell, Lou Whitaker and Kirk Gibson.
"We're just delighted to have received the news, and this is simply wonderful," said Mary Lajoie. "Bill was a good 'baseball man,' who did a lot of good for the game. He never looked for personal recognition, but he would certainly be pleased with this honor.
"He probably would say a simple 'thank you' and thank all the people that helped shape him," she added. "But deep in his heart, I know that although he would be pleased and proud, yet at the same time he'd probably be embarrassed and uncomfortable."
Born in Wyandotte, Mich., Lajoie attended Western Michigan University and earned a bachelor of science degree in 1956. An All-American athlete at WMU, he was signed by the Baltimore Orioles following graduation. After a nine-year playing career as a Minor League outfielder in the Orioles, Dodgers, Reds and Twins farm systems, Lajoie became a scout and Minor League manager with Cincinnati.
He then joined the Tigers organization in 1974 as a member of the scouting department. By 1979, he was named the assistant general manager to Jim Campbell. During his time as the general manager, Lajoie is credited with several transactions that helped the Tigers to the 1984 championship and a 1987 division title. Notable transactions include signing aging veteran Darrell Evans in 1984; Gibson leaving as a free agent and trading John Smoltz for Doyle Alexander in 1987. While ridiculed by Detroit fans now, the Smoltz trade helped the Tigers make the playoffs in 1987, as Alexander posted nine wins and no losses in 11 starts with a 1.53 ERA.
At the time of his death on Dec. 28, 2010, at age 76, Lajoie was special assistant to the general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He also served as a special assistant or consultant to the Atlanta Braves (1995-'98), Milwaukee Brewers (2001-'02), Boston Red Sox (2003-'06) and Los Angeles Dodgers (2006-'09).
In 1988, Lajoie was honored with a distinguished alumni award from the Western Michigan University Alumni Association, and in 2004, he received the East Coast Scout of the Year Award.
All members of Charleston's entry into the Professional Baseball Scouts Hall of Fame are represented with a plaque that is on permanent display at Riley Park.

The C.V. Starr Program in Business, Entrepreneurship and Organizations (BEO), formerly named Commerce, Organizations and Entrepreneurship (COE), engages faculty and students in the study of commercial activity, technical and social entrepreneurship, innovation, and the organizations within which such activity occurs. The initiative spans a number of departments, disciplines, and co-curricular activities at the University, and it supports the research of leading scholars at Brown. BEO will educate students to be creative and flexible leaders in a number of careers.
Sponsored by the departments of Economics and Sociology and the School of Engineering, this concentration offers students a coordinated, integrated, and synergistic approach to teaching and learning about business, organizational theory, entrepreneurship, and technological innovation. BEO places specific emphasis on the formation, growth, and organization of new ventures, innovation in commercial applications, financial markets and the marketplace, and management and organizational theory. Students learn the methodological approaches of economics, sociology, engineering, and entrepreneurship to study for-profit and nonprofit enterprises in the national and global economic context.
BEO is an undergraduate concentration; students interested in Brown's graduate programs in the field of entrepreneurship and technology management should consider the Program in Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship (PRIME), offered through the School of Engineering. There is also an opportunity for more senior managers to pursue an executive MBA through the IE Brown Executive MBA Program.

As for AV, assuming you mean on windows. I'd suggest BitDefender a lot of people I know use it and seem to like it. Plus they seem to have really good pricing, I recently saw a deal 3 systems for 2 years $31.99
Though things like this:
Seem to indicate that NOD32 and Kaspersky are the best choices. Personally I don't run AV on my home system. I rarely download things (ie: 2 or 3 times a year) and when I do I simply use an online scanner.
I may try NOD32 on a new system I'll be building in the New Year, I just wish it was a little cheaper. 2yrs $60 seems like a lot for a single system.

NEH chairman to speak on civility Jan. 13
Jim Leach, chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, will deliver a public lecture on civility Jan. 13 at the University.
Leach's talk is set for 7 p.m. in Gambrell Hall Auditorium. It is one of a series of events that the university is planning in connection with President Harris Pastides' initiative on civility and discourse. In November Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker spoke on the topic to a university and community audience.
Leach began his four-year term as NEH chairman in August 2009. He previously served 30 years in the U.S. House of Representatives where, as a representative of southeastern Iowa, he chaired the Banking and Financial Services Committee, the Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Affairs and the Congressional-Executive Commission on China. He founded and co-chaired the Congressional Humanities Caucus.
After leaving Congress in 2007, Leach joined the faculty at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School, where he was the John L. Weinberg Visiting Professor of Public and International Affairs until his confirmation as NEH chairman. In September 2007, Leach took a year's leave of absence from Princeton to serve as interim director of the Institute of Politics and lecturer at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
Leach is a graduate of Princeton University and earned a master's degree in Soviet politics from the School of Advanced International Studies at The John Hopkins University. He did additional graduate studies at the London School of Economics.
Leach holds eight honorary degrees and has received numerous awards, including the Sidney R. Yates Award for Distinguished Public Service to the Humanities from the National Humanities Alliance; the Woodrow Wilson Award from The Johns Hopkins University; the Adlai Stevenson Award from the United Nations Association; the Edgar Wayburn Award from the Sierra Club; the Wayne Morse Integrity in Politics Award; the Norman Borlaug Award for Public Service; and the Wesley Award for Service to Humanity.
What: Public lecture with Jim Leach, chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities
When: 7 p.m., Jan. 13
Where: Gambrell Hall Auditorium
Admission: Free and open to the public

Using only the freshest quality ingredients ensures deliciously moist carrot cakes.
In this case, fresh carrots grated with a hand grater delivers that super moist and sweet cake.
4 cups Peeled and grated carrots
1 1/2 cups Coarsely ground nuts
1 cup Dark raisins
2 cups Flour
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 tsp Ground cloves
2 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Salt
4 Eggs
1 cup Oil
1 cup Granulated sugar
1 cup Firmly packed brown sugar
1 Tablespoon Pure vanilla
Oven Temp 350°
Baking Time ~ 45 -
Pan Type ~ 9 x 13 inch cake pan
Cream the sugar, oil and eggs together.
Add moist carrots. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
Pour super moist carrot cake batter into prepared cake pan and bake.
Remove moist carrot cake from oven and let cool.
Did you say you're on a diet?
No desserts for 20 years?
Do you pass the cake and candy sections
With some heartfelt sighs and tears?
Go ahead !! Bake those gooey
Sticky sweet forbidden things.
But first put on your jogging outfit.
Your tennis shoes and exercise fling.
Run in place while stirring;
Time your cakes with jumping jacks.
Ten deep knee bends between ingredients.
Use that kitchen for a workout track.
And when you're out of breath and panting.
Pot holders around your prize.
Jog to the nearest 90 pound neighbor
And leave her your 1000 calorie surprise!
Room temperature butter in the cake batter is one of the biggest cake baking mistakes. In fact, butter must be below 68° to trap air molecules and build structure. Otherwise, the fat will liquefy and the cake will be flat. To get cool butter, cut the chilled butter into chunks and let it sit in a bowl for 5 minutes before beating.
You cannot over beat the eggs, sugar and butter, but you can over beat the flour. If you do, gluten will form and you will be making a quick bread instead of layer cake. Beat the flour just until there are no visible signs of dry flour, but not until the batter is completely smooth.
Cake flour is milled from soft wheat that has a lower gluten content and higher starch content than all-purpose flour. It helps to ensure a fluffy texture in cakes and pastries. A substitute for cake flour is to use all-purpose flour, but reduce the amount by 2 tablespoons per cup.
The food choices that we make every day have a profound effect on the environment. From farm to spoon, growing our food, processing it and transporting it all use tremendous amounts of energy, water and chemicals. By making just a few small changes in our eating and buying habits, we can greatly reduce this impact. When we eat green, we help the environment by reducing global warming pollution and help ourselves by eating fresh and healthy food. Eat local from farmers in your own neighborhood!

The Poem Stuck in My Head
D. H. Lawrence's "Pomegranate"By Eli Mandel
Sometimes in life you get yelled at. No matter your moral fiber, it can't be avoided all the time. It happens in Marine Corps boot camp; it happens in rush-hour subway cars; it happens if your mother catches you reading Lady Chatterly's Lover at an impressionable young age. But one place you don't expect to get harangued, one place where the lid's supposed to stay on the pot, is poetry.
So cracking open D. H. Lawrence's seemingly innocuous Birds, Beasts, Flowers is a bit of a shock. Lawrence is, of course, better known for his novels and short stories; verse can unleash in him an irritating Whitmanesque mania, an exhibitionist verbal autoeroticism. But that's not the case here. You flip past the title page and the index to the first poem, "Pomegranate," and before your eyes can adjust to the typeface, you're in trouble. Big trouble:

In Alex's words:
We drive, twisting through the jungle – all sense of direction lost. No service. We pull into Punta Roca, a right hand point break. Weʻre here to surf a contest. Koa and I both lose, then drown our sorrows with ice cold coconuts and fresh fish. Food poisoning sets in, double vision. Hitch hikers with machetes, avoid any eye contact. Paranoia sets in, sure weʻve watched too much "GangLand" on History Channel.
The pearly white gates open, an AK-47 bearing guard welcomes us with a smile. An oasis of life inside, we peer through a tropical forest –- a lonely beach break spits in both directions. We retire to the villa, equipped with pools and maids; our safe house. The clouds turn black, swirl and rumble. Itʻs 4th of July, a bolt of lightning slashes through the clouds and exploding a power line to oblivion. Air conditioning stops –- we sleep and our sheets soak in our sweat and a feeling of helplessness. We drive toward the airport with fingers crossed, not uncrossed till we exit the plane in Los Angeles. El Salvador, a radical place –- demands respect.
