This blender earned The Best rating from The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it blended more quickly and was one of the only tested models with six blades. The Best model's blades are spaced evenly from the bottom to the top of the pitcher, allowing it to crush 20 ice cubes 84% faster than lesser blenders. Unlike other blenders that stalled when blending frozen fruit, The Best model quickly pureed frozen berries for smoothies and it was one of the only models able to chop a 1/2-pitcher of ice cubes into snow. The Best model earned the highest score for ease of use, thanks to a dishwasher-safe pitcher and blades and dual spouts on the pitcher that enable easy pours. The Best model has three speeds and a pulse function, a 72-oz. capacity, and an LED control panel.�8 1/2" W x 6" D x 17" H. (7 lbs.)

Snow in June and July. In Phoenix, AZ.
By Mitch the Cool.
from Phoenix, AZ
We had an older device that we used to make snow. But it was hard to use. We got the H-S best blender, which we use at least once a day. It's sooooo much easier to use. Here in Phoenix, Arizona it's 122 degrees Fahrenheit right now. The snow we can make quickly and easily sure does help greatly.

My first encounter with Venice, as a small child, was a whirlwind of candy-colored palazzi, delicate blown glass, and narrow streets where you could get lost for days.
There was also a spectacular procession of black gondolas, each bearing mountains of flowers, floating down a canal—part of the funeral, it turned out, of the great composer Igor Stravinsky. Venice has always known how to honor its past. It's the present—and future—that has proved more unwieldy to negotiate. Today, the city manages to defy being characterized as a historical amusement park, one that's sinking—literally and metaphorically—under the weight of its history. Witness the new (albeit controversial) pedestrian bridge by Santiago Calatrava that spans the Grand Canal. Or the opening of François Pinault's Contemporary Art Center, designed by Tadao Ando, this June. There are even plans for architect David Chipperfield to build a modern expansion for the ancient cemetery on the tiny island of San Michele, where Stravinsky was laid to rest. Yet despite these changes, Venice remains, as always, committed to its past. Organizations such as Venice in Peril, Venetian Heritage, and Save Venice are leading efforts to make sure the city's treasures are preserved for future generations. Step into even the smallest of printing or woodworking ateliers, and you'll find craftsmen working just as they would have generations ago. The addresses on the following pages bring you the best of the city's traditions and innovations. And while the legendary hotels and landmarks continue to impress, this guide focuses on the lesser-known—and in some cases, more affordable—side of the city: the addresses for family-run restaurants, the workshops and stores, the inns, and the historical sites that I've been amassing over the past 20 years.
Where to Eat
Whether you're seeking an over-the-top meal with a view of the lagoon, seafood tagliatelle at a low-key trattoria, or Venetian cicheti (tapas), these restaurants turn out the city's best dishes.
Venetial Classics
The 22 seats at the retro bistro Osteria Alle Testiere are among Venice's most difficult to book. Sommelier Luca Di Vita presides over the tiny salotto, outfitted with an antique marble-topped bar, where he advises patrons on how to pair the best Veneto whites. Piatti del giorno might include sautéed John Dory with lemon and orange, sprinkled with tarragon, and Luca's homemade ginger-and-vanilla gelato.
Only those in the know will find their way to Antiche Carampane, hidden within a maze of winding alleys. Over the past couple of years the portions have become less generous, but antipasti such as sour eggplant and creamed codfish are among the best in town.
At Boccadoro, as much attention is paid to the décor as to the food: the sleek dining room has steel-blue walls and photos of Venetian landscapes by local photographer Roberta Riccio. Chef Luciano Orlandi serves regional dishes such as handmade basil tagliatelle with grilled tuna, tomatoes, and capers.
Affordable Fare
Run by Damiano Martin, son of the owners of Da Fiore restaurant, the canalside Il Refolo, with its 25 candlelit outdoor tables, is the perfect setting for sampling Martin's savory pizzas. Try the prosciutto crudo, mozzarella, and green-fig pie, available seasonally.
If you're planning a picnic by the lagoon, stock up on provisions at the recently opened Pronto Pesce Pronto. The delicatessen specializes in seafood to go: spiced couscous with mussels and eggplant, oyster platters, and swordfish croquettes.
Worth the Splurge
The best tables at the barrel-vaulted Da Fiore are on the outdoor balcony overlooking the canal. Just be sure to book these well in advance. Chef Mara Martin's deceptively simple fare is the main draw here, from plates of deep-fried calamari, scampi, and zucchini to a dessert of pineapple soup with mint and fresh berries.
Chef Corrado Fasolato, at the Michelin-starred Met Restaurant at the Hotel Metropole, uses fresh regional ingredients for his innovative dishes such as a delicious pear-and–sheep-ricotta mousse with raspberry gelée and red-wine sorbet.
Where to Sleep
For years, the grand hotels around the Piazza San Marco have had few rivals. There are two Starwood Luxury Collection properties, the 16th-century Hotel Gritti Palace residence of the former Duke Andre Gritti; and the revamped Hotel Danieli, which now houses 73 stylish new suites. Then there's the Bauer Il Palazzo, with its spectacular terrace bar, the Bar Canale; and of course, the legendary Cipriani, whose gardens alone are worth the trip to Giudecca Island. But along with these, a host of intimate properties have been opening in the city, promising top-notch service, often at a more affordable price.
Opposite the Church of the Frari in the city's historic center lies the discreet town house–style hotel Oltre il Giardino. Beyond a wooden door, a narrow path leads you through a brick-walled garden full of magnolia and olive trees to a stylish six-room villa. Owner Lorenzo Muner has furnished the space with family heirlooms and antiques, including 18th-century oil paintings and a framed vintage Gucci scarf.
Guests at IQs should expect to be lulled to sleep by the opera-singing gondoliers on the nearby canal. This hidden gem of a hotel, accessible by gondola, is a favorite among privacy-seeking celebs attending the Venice Film Festival. The four large rooms and suites are done up with contemporary furnishings by Moroso and B&B Italia in shades of chocolate, cream, and lacquer red.
A fresco of The Fall of the Giants by 18th-century Rococo master Pietro Longhi flanks an elaborate marble stairway at the entrance to the regal Ca' Sagredo, a 42-room palazzo dating back to the 15th century. Book Suite 316, which has frescoes of mythological characters by artists Abbondio Stazio and Carpoforo Mazzetti from the 1700's.
The new B&B San Luca is a loftlike hotel in an 18th-century palazzo near the Rialto Bridge. The wood-beamed rooms are edgy, but classic: colorful Kartell lights, Venini vases, and Starck Ghost chairs are paired with antique wooden dressers. The hotel's only real downside is its lack of an elevator, though Paolo will be happy to carry your bags up the three flights of stairs.
Glamour comes naturally to the Campa brothers, owners of the intimate 12-room Ca' Maria Adele. Their grandfather created the world's largest Murano-glass chandelier, now in a casino in Knokke-le-Zoute, Belgium (a panoramic photograph of the piece is on view in the breakfast salon). Rooms have crystal chandeliers and silk wall fabrics, and bird's-eye views of the Santa Maria della Salute, a 17th-century church that resembles a tiered wedding cake.
What to Do
From the 14th-century Doge's Palace to the stone arches of the Rialto Bridge, Venice has its share of legendary landmarks. While you shouldn't skip the tried-and-true, don't miss the following lesser-known spots and experiences.
The Museo della Fondazione Querini Stampalia which also has a collection of paintings by Pietro Longhi, is a Modernist reprieve from the city's Gothic architecture. In the 1960's, the Veneto-based architect Carlo Scarpa refurbished part of the 16th-century palace, incorporating walls of washed concrete and travertine and a tranquil Japanese-inspired garden.
To teach travelers about the ecological challenges facing the city, the sustainable-tourism organization Context Travel organizes guided walking tours, where you'll learn about Venice's preservation efforts.
The best way to explore the hidden islands is by private charter. Il Nuovo Trionfo a double-masted 1926 sailing vessel, is available for small groups.
Spend a day visiting the island of Murano, full of tiny boutiques selling delicate glasswares. One of the best is Marina e Susanna Sent a favorite of Venice resident Michela Scibilia, co-author of The Comprehensive Guide to the Island of Murano.
Don't miss the San Michele in Isola, on the island of San Michele. The tombs of luminaries such as Ezra Pound and Igor Stravinsky surround this Renaissance church.
Where to Shop
There's more to shopping in Venice than kitschy plastic gondolas. The city is brimming with handmade accessories and clothing, along with glass, fabric, leather, and wooden goods from local craftsmen.
CRAFTS Architect Francesca Meratti is on a mission to bring Venetian design into the 21st century. Her contemporary boutique Madera stocks whimsical porcelain teapots by Verona-based ceramicist Maria-Grazia Perlini; minimalist aprons by Inzu that double as halter-necked pinafore dresses; and finely sculpted wooden bowls from Meratti's own line.
Legendary designer Mariano Fortuny assigned the colors for his fabrics' poetic names: "Rembrandt rust straw and silvery gold," "Bayou lime green and old ivory," "seafoam green." You'll find these and more at the Fortuny Factory and Showroom, where 16,000 yards of Egyptian cotton are handcrafted every year.
The owners of the 62-year-old workshop Legatoria Polliero create their unique handmade papers using a collection of 300 antique Asian printing blocks. The duo specializes in notebooks, wrapping paper, and photo frames.
An oarlock might not be at the top of your shopping list, but step inside the woodworking shop Le Forcole and you're likely to change your mind. Designer Saviero Pastor hand-carves sinuous, one-of-a-kind pieces in walnut, cherry, or pear wood. In fact, the works are so stunning, they've been snapped up as sculptures by I. M. Pei.
Senegal-born Moulaye Niang is the city's first African glassmaker. His store, Muranero, sells contemporary jewelry that uses bright colors from his homeland. Best finds: bulbous glass rings in orange and lilac.
Looking for a hard-to-find edition of John Ruskin's Stones of Venice? Old World Books stocks rare English-language volumes about Venice bought at auctions and private sales.
Dress Like a Venetian
At the clothing shop Hibiscus, you'll find boho-chic styles such as flared knee-length silk skirts in rouge and rust, and kimono jackets in red and fuchsia.
During periods of acqua alta (high water), opt for a pair of stylish high-heeled rain boots in splashy red at Dittura Massimo.
Milliner Giuliana Longo has been creating her signature hats in her workshop since 1968. Pick up a brightly colored beret made of rabbit fur and felt.
Slip your feet into a custom pair of shoes by avant-garde shoemaker Giovanna Zanella. Her wild designs run the gamut from lace-up boots in green and pink leather to frog-skin flats.
Sweet Treats
Dried fruits, truffles, 80 kinds of spices, and 100 varieties of chocolate fill the shelves at Drogheria Mascari, the best grocery store in town. Expect a wait at Alaska, a hole-in-the-wall gelato parlor where owner Carlo Pistacchi serves up his unusual flavors of gelato—artichoke, fig, and ginger. Swing by the pint-size VizioVirtù for dark chocolates spiced with lavender, cayenne pepper, star anise, or cinnamon.
After Dark
Visiting Venice without going to Harry's Bar is almost sacrilege. Granted, the crowds may be overwhelming, but people-watching doesn't get better than this: the 1931 venue is a favorite with A-listers, especially during the Venice Film Festival, which runs September 2–12.
Come nightfall, young locals head to the no-frills bars around the Rialto Market. Among the most popular is Naranzaria, with a bottle-stacked bar, illuminated by Ingo Maurer lights, and outdoor chairs that overlook the Grand Canal.
Ca' d'Oro alla Vedova is perhaps Venice's most authentic osteria. Inside, patrons fill up on Venetian cicheti such as lightly spiced meatballs, a pre-dinner favorite.
For the best view of the city, head to the Skyline Bar in the Hilton Molino Stucky hotel. Here, young professionals and artsy types sip glasses of Campari soda and Prosecco.
Melissa Conn
A 23-year resident and associate director of Save Venice, a preservation organization
"One of my favorite paintings is Madonna and Child Enthroned, in the San Francesco della Vigna church (Campo San Francesco della Vigna; 39-041/520-6102). It's reportedly the only work by 15th-century Greek artist Antonio Falier da Negroponte."
"Don't miss a tour of the Jewish Ghetto, run by the Museo Ebraico (Campo del Ghetto Nuovo; Cannaregio 2902B; 39-041/715-359). You can visit three of the five area synagogues, each with its own character and design."
Countess Marie Brandolini
Owner of the glass showroom Laguna B (lagunab.com)
"L'Angolo del Passato (Campiello dei Squelini, Dorsoduro 3276A; 39-041/528-7896) features modern glassware along with rare vintage finds, such as 1940's glass vases by Carlo Scarpa."
"Serious collectors go to Caterina Tognon's (Calle del Dose, San Marco 2746; 39-041/520-7859) for paintings and sculptures by top contemporary international artists such as Toots Zynsky and Silvia Levenson."
"Bruno Amadi (Calle dei Saoneri, San Polo 2747; 39-041/523-8089) crafts beautiful decorative glass objects—starfish, coral, animals, and dragonflies."
Catherine Buyse Dian
Costume stylist for theater, films, and operas in Venice
"The Palazzo Mocenigo (Salizada Stae, Santa Croce 1992; 39-041/721-798) has an incredible 18th-century clothing collection that includes the fur-trimmed crimson brocade tunics once worn by city councilmen."
"To rent a costume for the February Carnevale, go to Nicolao Atelier (Fondamenta della Misericordia, Cannaregio 2590; 39-041/520-7051), which carries more than 10,000 period pieces."
"Venetian movie costumes often take inspiration from textile company Tessitura Luigi Bevilacqua (Campiello della Comar, Santa Croce 1320; 39-041/721-566; by appointment; fabrics from $230 per yard), a historic workshop frequented both by Vatican priests and fashion designers. Take a guided tour to see how weavers create velvets on 18th-century looms."

Honda has officially unveiled the 2013 Civic at the 2012 LA Auto Show, complete with its substantially revised interior and exterior, which the Japanese automaker hopes will stem the tide of criticism levied at the completely redesigned 2012 model. Designers did away with the short-lived front and rear ends found on last year's ill-received Civic in favor of a look that borrows heavily from the attractive Accord line.

Hi everybody,
I have to setup for my job a very secure public server, containing important and secret informations that only few people will be able to access from different places.
But, before using it in production, I need you to make real security tests and try all the things you want to penetrate/break my system.
There is multiple goals :
- See if my firewall configuration is good.
- Test if my IDS are correctly configured.
- Be sure that I can use my server in production without any fears.
Finally, the server is at this time at home. You can reach it at this address :
For information, the french backtrack community is trying since one week without any results.
A public server with "secret documents" and this many ports open? Honeypot maybe, but not a secure server.

lol agreed.
Please, I need interesting answers. If you don't know how to use a portscanner or if you don't think about why you see these results don't post.
You should think about the fact that more open ports you have the less secure you will be. Are all those ports in use?
Information is like water...
Well, I don't know why you would advertise yourself when you should be limiting your exposure. I mean, you broadcast 50 ports being open, obviously someone can figure out that 22 and 80 are probably legitimate.
Port 80:
You allow directory browsing and disclose that your using Apache. Port 22 comes back with a consistent login prompt. I'd hit both your HTTP and SSH logins with Hydra until it cracked. Also, why arent you using SSL?

Republicans are really freaking out about the results of their war on women, leading to hilarious spin like this:
"Governor Romney has been talking about issues that impact everyone and uniting people, and that's what we need in this country," Ayotte said. "This is a dialogue that [Democrats] have pushed. And it's really unfortunate that their advisor made these comments, but this is an example of the divisive politics of this president."
Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis echoed the sentiment: "It is the Democrats that are accusing Republican women of being unconcerned about women."
The subtext: You picked this fight, but we're winning it.
Republicans have a funny definition of "winning".

TMZ: Gwar frontman Dave Brockie found dead
(TMZ) - Dave Brockie -- lead singer of the crazy costumed "Beavis & Butthead" worshipped speed metal band Gwar -- is dead at age 50, reports TMZ.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Brockie -- a.k.a. Oderus Urungus -- was found early Sunday morning dead, sitting upright in a chair at his Richmond, VA home.
TMZ reports foul play is not suspected ... and one law enforcement source told them, "There were no drugs found, as far as I know."
Another law enforcement source tells TMZ it was not a suicide. No note was found. Brockie was found by his roommate.
The band shot to superstardom because their over-the-top horror show music videos were a staple on "Beavis and Butthead" back in the day.

CLAREMONT - The architectural and site plan review was approved for the proposed mixed use development at the former Rich Products Corporation site at 127 Oberlin Avenue.
Applicant Denley Investments and Management Company was given the approval on Wednesday night at the Architectural Commission regular meeting.
"I'm very happy with the outcome," said Denley architect Gregory Christman after the meeting.
The development of the 1.67 acre parcel, in the mixed-use zone of the Claremont Village Expansion Specific Plan Area, would result in the demolition of the existing vacant industrial building and the construction of two new buildings, city officials said.
The project has 181 on-site parking spaces for the main building as well as five work loft and five live loft units. The main building, with four floors, also has 64 residential apartment units. A small loft building will have 10 on-site parking spaces and five work loft and five live loft units.
Commissioner Maureen Wheeler voted against the development because of what she said was the poor quality of life issues in the apartments and no outdoor living areas.
Christman said a ground breaking for the development was tentatively scheduled for late spring. He declined to give information on how much the development would cost because there had been no preliminary bids to get the process started.
Resident Erik Griswold, who spoke out against the project because he had heard the land was to be used for a park and he felt the more than 50-feet-high project was too tall, said he was thinking of possibly appealing the decision.
"I don't know," Griswold said after the meeting.

Bartholdi cherished and valued the physical world, as he made quite clear in his letters and diaries.
A foreigner such as Bartholdi viewed the abolition of slavery as Liberty achieved in the United States.
To Bartholdi, his statue meant a commemoration of Liberty attained.
It is not too much to say that Mr. Bartholdi in this case has shown a fine appreciation of the requirements of colossal sculpture.
We had just passed Bartholdi's statue of "Liberty," and it seemed as if France were not very far off.
Bartholdi being dishearten'd with all these Delays, began to despair of the Success of the Negociation.
On either side the shores fell away from us, leaving Bartholdi's statue, for a brief moment, the dominant note in the scene.
The abstract idea, as it occurred to the sculptor, Mr. Bartholdi, was noble.
The Bartholdi statue, as we read and heard, and talked about it, became an inspired impulse to fine art in America.
And Bartholdi made the statue and it's a present from France.

Chagas diseaseAmerican trypanosomiasis
Chagas disease is an illness spread by insects. It is common in South and Central America.
Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite related to the African trypanosome that causes sleeping sickness. It is spread by the bite of reduvid bugs and is one of the major health problems in South America. Due to immigration, the disease also affects people in the United States.
Risk factors for Chagas disease include:
- Living in a hut where reduvid bugs live in the walls
- Living in Central or South America
- Poverty
- Receiving a blood transfusion from a person who carries the parasite but does not have active Chagas disease
Chagas disease has two phases: acute and chronic. The acute phase may have no symptoms or very mild symptoms. Symptoms include:
- Fever
- General ill feeling (malaise)
- Swelling of one eye if the bite is near the eye
- Swollen red area at site of insect bite
After the acute phase, the disease goes into remission. No other symptoms may appear for many years. When symptoms finally develop, they may include:
- Constipation
- Digestive problems
- Heart failure
- Pain in the abdomen
- Palpitations
- Swallowing difficulties
Exams and Tests
Physical examination can confirm the symptoms. Signs may include:
- Cardiomyopathy
- Enlarged liver and spleen
- Enlarged lymph nodes
- Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)
- Rapid heartbeat (tachycardia)
Tests include:
- Blood culture to look for signs of infection
- Chest x-ray
- Echocardiogram
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) to look for signs of infection
- Peripheral blood smear to look for signs of infection
The acute phase and reactivated Chagas disease should be treated. Infants born with the infection should also be treated.
Treating the chronic phase is recommended for children and most adults. Adult patients should talk to their doctor about whether to treat chronic Chagas disease.
Two drugs are used to treat this infection: benznidazole and nifurtimox.
Both drugs often have side effects. The side effects may be worse in older people.
Side effects may include:
- Headaches and dizziness
- Loss of appetite and weight loss
- Neuropathy
- Problems sleeping
- Skin rashes
Outlook (Prognosis)
About 30% of infected people who are not treated will develop chronic or symptomatic Chagas disease. It may take more than 20 years from the time of the original infection to develop heart or digestive problems.
Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias, ventricular tachycardia) may cause sudden death. Once heart failure develops, death usually occurs within several years.
Possible Complications
- Cardiomyopathy
- Enlargement of the colon (megacolon)
- Enlargement of the esophagus (megaesophagus) with swallowing difficulty
- Heart disease
- Heart failure
- Malnutrition
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you think you may have Chagas disease.
Insect control with insecticides and houses that are less likely to have high insect populations will help control the spread of the disease.
Blood banks in Central and South America screen donors for exposure to the parasite. The blood is discarded if the donor tests positive. Most blood banks in the United States began screening for Chagas disease in 2007.

Some state lawmakers believe that Florida's laws against sex offenders do not do enough to keep the most dangerous ones from repeating their crimes.
They began on Tuesday, looking at ways to strengthen sex offender laws. House and Senate committees began discussing current laws and problems with them, and will begin crafting bills.
While a variety of issues were discussed, the heart of the conversation revolved around the Jimmy Ryce law, named for a 9-year old South Florida boy who was kidnapped, raped and murdered in Miami Dade County.
The law allows the state to civilly commit sexually violent predators once their prison system is completed if an evaluation find they are likely to reoffend. But lawmakers say too many predators are being released and committing more sex crimes.

I want to personally invite you to my neighborhood and neighborhoods in District 5, where you will find the heart of San Antonio. Everyone in our city has incredible memories of growing up in the Westside and Southside of San Antonio and everyone's heart remains fondly in our district. Our neighborhoods represent what people throughout the nation are developing. People want to increase and enjoy neighborhood walkability, bike lanes, sidewalks for two people, accessible public transportation, calm traffic, the re-development of historic homes, parks and schools being developed into health and fitness sports complexes for families, and children being able to walk to their libraries while enjoying the flowering plants and fruit trees shared with neighbors. I love living in a neighborhood where I am able to walk to buy my groceries, shop at the local drug store, attend church services, or walk to my bus stop to ride into downtown. My husband and I enjoy riding our bikes throughout the district while enjoying the splendors of Elmendorf Lake, the beautiful and historical homes built in the early 1900s, beautiful structures like of Our Lady of the Lake University, and the cultural arts developed by arts organizations throughout our neighborhoods. District 5 is filled with beauty and the kindest and most loving neighbors.
Shirley Gonzales was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. She spent most of her growing up years around her family-owned business, Bill's Pawn Shop and Jewelry Store established in 1960 and located on S Zarzamora between Buena Vista and W Commerce. Her parents, Henry and Eloise Gonzales spent long hours building their now 52 year-old business while their children played in the store or in the Prospect Hill neighborhood. Shirley's fondest moments were going to the Malt House next door to their store and spending time at Bazan Library with her brother Henry. These and many more positive growing up experiences are what drew her and her husband, Kevin Barton, a retired Chief Master Sergeant to make District 5 their home at 2723 Buena Vista.
Shirley attended Ursuline Academy and went on to earn both a Bachelor and Master's degree from the School of Business at St. Mary's University. She has been working in her family-owned business for 20 years and enjoys being a strong corporate leader in supporting educational institutions and organizations making a difference in her neighborhood.

REDLANDS - Donations are being sought to help the Redlands Animal Shelter pay for the spaying or neutering of animals waiting adoption.
Through November, the shelter has had 796 dogs and 373 cats adopted. Last year, 1,001 dogs and 388 cats were adopted.
Before any adoption, the shelter makes sure animals are spayed or neutered.
The city pays most of those costs with those adopting paying the remainder. That amount is determined by surgery costs.
Surgery costs can vary from $49 for male cats to $120 to spay a large dog.
Shelter costs are estimated at $3,000 a month to care for the animals.
Adoption fees are $63 for dogs, which includes $35 for the spay/neuter surgery and $18 for vaccinations; $37 for cats, which includes $22 for the surgery and $10 for vaccinations. Discounts are provided to senior citizens and the disabled .
Last year's effort raised $5,000, said Animal Control Supervisor Officer Bill Miller.
They are hoping to raise at least that again.
"(But) donations are down with these hard times," he said.
Monetary donations are tax-deductible, Miller said.
The shelter is also looking for donations of canned cat and kitten food.
"We have a lot of kittens right now at the shelter. It has been a late kitten season," Miller said. "Usually we don't have any kittens for the holidays, but we will for Christmas."
Kitten season usually occurs in the spring with the shelter seeing around 150 kittens..
"(Kitten season) has been dragging on longer than usual," Miller said. "Not sure it's the weather or what."
Part-time and full-time volunteers also are needed.
The volunteers help by walking animals, cleaning out cages and with off-site adoption events.
"We had a big adoption event last week where we brought 15 dogs down to Irvine and 13 got adopted," Miller said. "We are right now low on dogs. It looks like we only have Chihuahuas and pit bulls, and there are some cute ones out there."
The Redlands Animal Shelter is at 504 N. Kansas St.
To learn more, call the shelter at 909-798-7644.

Journalists are in an identity crisis, what with the Fourth Estate under siege on many fronts our shaken business models as digital rises and print falls; the fracturing of media markets into tiny slivers of audience; aggregation and opinion as poor substitutes for original investigative and enterprise reporting.
It is a topic in our newsroom, in all newsrooms, and on the street. Where is journalism headed, and what does the journalist of the future look like?
Tribune Managing Editor Lisa Carricaburu explored one aspect of the question last week in a new blog, Notes from the Newroom, at sltrib.com. As Congress considers a federal shield law for reporters, what defines a journalist? Someone who makes a living reporting the news, who has training in the practices and ethics of the profession? Or should the focus be on "acts of journalism" and not on the individuals who "commit" them, be it a newspaper reporter, independent blogger or private citizen?
The week's most high-profile debate on the future of journalism came courtesy of former New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller, who invited Glenn Greenwald to engage in a back-and-forth. Greenwald is the recently departed columnist from The Guardian who broke the Edward Snowden story on the National Security Agency's surveillance machine and potential for unprecedented invasions of privacy.
Keller, now a Times columnist, is old school in a good way. Journalists should "keep their opinions to themselves," unless they write for editorial pages. They should pursue the facts of a story and present them with balance and perspective.
Greenwald says that reporters "concealing" his word their opinions is disingenuous and leads to dishonest reporting. Being upfront about bias, writing from a strong point of view, produces the best journalism these days and that is where the craft should go in the future.
Keller and Greenwald make compelling arguments. The foundation of checks and balances in a traditional newsroom, with reporters checking themselves, and editors challenging reporters, has well served institutions like Keller's Times. On the other hand, marshaling facts in pursuit of balance can turn into mind-numbing he-said, she-said, they-said reporting that adds little to the knowledge pool. Greenwald goes further, asserting that, in seeking fairness, reporters can disguise their biases and allegiances to certain sources, specifically government ones.
I side with Keller in this debate. I've spent a career in a traditional newsroom, and most of a life admiring The New York Times. Keller's mantra is that impartiality is the tool that gets you to the truth, or closer to it. In these times of over-the-top, agenda-based reporting Fox News on one side, MSNBC on the other that is a foundation I can believe in.
But the value of Greenwald's advocacy he's a lawyer by training can't be denied. After all, he broke what likely will be the biggest investigative story of 2013.
There's room for many stripes of journalism in today's media marketplace, and that's a good thing. As Carricaburu points out in her blog post, it is up to the consumer to understand the difference between advocacy and impartiality, and give each the weight it deserves.
The important thing is this: People are debating the future of journalism, where it should go, the role it should play. And they are debating it passionately. It's a testament to the role of the reporter in society, as the watchdog, the check and balance. As the Fourth Estate.

50 Cent denies domestic violence allegations
Listen to 50 Cent on iHeartRadio
50 Cent is denying allegations that he assaulted an ex-girlfriend. This week the rapper was charged with one count of misdemeanor domestic violence after he allegedly kicked his former girlfriend during an altercation on June 23rd.
50 Cent - born Curtis Jackson - also faces four charges of vandalism. In a statement posted on CNN.com, the rapper's lawyer Scott Leemon says 50 "denies these allegations as made against him." He also points out that Jackson has not been arrested. Fifty's camp is also trying to get to the bottom of the case and is currently conducting their own investigation into the accusations.
If convicted on all five counts, 50 Cent could face up to five years in jail and $46,000 worth of fines. He's scheduled to appear in court on July 22nd.

Ok i had a question earlier and this is my results.
I was wondering if ettercap automatically adds new hosts and arp posions them.
I have 2 labtops on a wireless network. i made sure to watch autoscan to make sure my labtop was on and off the network. So i started ettercap and then posioned the only thing which was the router. then logged on the net with the other computer. seen it come up as a request on ettercap, but the computer was not posioned. logged into hotmail, facebook, etc and the username and password does not get intercepted.
So then i restart ettercap and do the same thing and sure enough, boom ettercap works.
So is there something i don't know about to keep ettercap current to keep adding a new host after ettercap is already ran?

Bohjalian, Chris. The Night Strangers
Pilot Chip Linton is plagued by the guilt he feels after an unsuccessful water landing claimed the lives of 39 of his passengers and crew. He and his wife Emily and their 10-year-old twin daughters decide to start over and move to a rambling old Victorian house in a small town in New Hampshire. But Chip, suffering from PTSD, phantom pains, and depression, does not find rest and respite in their new home. He quickly becomes obsessed with a strange door in the basement—a door bolted shut with exactly 39 heavy-duty carriage bolts. When Chip's phantom pains increase, he begins to understand that what he's feeling are the fatal injuries sustained by three crash victims—a young woman, and a father and daughter. The three begin appearing to Chip and the dead father attempts to convince Chip to kill his own daughters to provide playmates for the dead girl. Meanwhile, Emily is being befriended by a group of women in the town, all of whom are named for plants, all of whom have greenhouses filled with strange and exotic herbs and flowers, and all of whom have a very unusual and sinister interest in the Linton twins.
The Night Strangers is slow-starting, with a gradual and inexorable build-up to the truly creepy ending. However, many readers may wish Bohjalian had focused more on either the ghost story or the herbalists's plot, the two stories being so unrelated outside of their cast that at times it feels one is reading two different books at once.

Senate Votes to Repeal Ethanol Subsidy

39% of all corn produced in the U.S. goes to ethanol production
(Source: washingtonexaminer.com)
House to vote next
Lawmakers in Washington are working hard to write and pass laws that would have fuel efficiency standards in the U.S. changing drastically in coming years. While some in Washington support the new standards for vehicle efficiency, others oppose the standards. Along with mandating better fuel economy across a carmakers fleet, Washington is also seeing green and renewable fuel alternatives for vehicles.
In the U.S., ethanol has been added into the fuel we run in vehicles for years. Ethanol is as high as 10% in fuels today and some that are against ethanol, which is derived from corn, claim that the biofuel is increasing the price of some food items in America. A report published by the GAO claims that the use of ethanol has driven the cost of some food items up as much as 20%.
With all of Washington in cost cutting mode in an effort to shore up the federal budget lawmakers are looking at everywhere money can be saved. One place that some in the Senate want to save money is by repealing the subsidy on ethanol. The
Senate voted
Thursday 73-27 to end a $0.45 per gallon tax credit on ethanol-blended gasoline starting on July 1. According to those that support the repeal, the subsidy cost taxpayers $5.6 billion last year.
Growth Energy, and ethanol association, CEO Tom Buis said, "The Senate missed an enormous opportunity to take real action on deficit reduction and energy policy when it failed to put oil subsidies and giveaways to the same test as ethanol."
On the other side of the coin, Kate McMahon coordinator of biofuels campaigns for Friends of the Earth said, "Senators scored a win for the public and for the environment by voting to end this $6 billion giveaway." She continued saying, "[the Senate delivered a message] that the ethanol industry's days of living high off the taxpayers' hog have come to an end."
The effort to end the ethanol subsidy now goes to the House for voting. White House spokesman Jay Carney says that the Obama administration supports a reduction in the ethanol subsidy, but does not support a full repeal. Some claim that 39% of the corn produced in the U.S. is currently going into fuel tanks. With the costs to reach the
proposed 62mpg
regulations for fuel economy reaching nearly $10,000, some automakers are calling for the removal of ethanol from gasoline. Ethanol is renewable and greener than petroleum fuel, but reduces fuel economy.
"If you mod me down, I will become more insightful than you can possibly imagine." -- Slashdot

Sprint execs aren't stupid. They've witnessed what happens to mobile networks when millions of iPhones are activated on the same network in a short period of time. They know the same thing is going to happen to theirs and are taking steps to try and lighten the imminent load. Granted this makes the higher bandwidth users cry but the other 97% will benefit.
I wish they did something like that in Canada, then I could get out of my 3 year contract. And not pay a min. of $3000 w/o the surplus charges that they love to impose on your account. But really. Perfect time for those people who wanna get outta the plan. If a contract was signed they cannot change what you already have if so.. I believe you have a 30 or 90 day drop out period w/o and penalty. They wont agree that check for yourself.
Found a website...HTML Code:http://smartcanucks.ca/how-to-get-out-of-a-cellphone-contract-early/
Lawyers love writing contracts like this, and get paid good money to do so.
So what you're saying is Sprint has an 'open' contract. Shoot why bother to have a contract but a piece of paper saying I agree to stay with Sprint for 2 years period. Sprint would have no obligations...they can jack prices up as they see 'needed'. That's way too much control.
Holy Hell, no more switching to Sprint for me! This just royally chaps my @$$. I've been bending over and taking it from AT&T paying a freaking arm and leg for 900 anytime minutes on my iphone because I use unlim text and data and can't get that with lower plans. Text and web is the only reason i have a phone and ATT charges me $130 a month for it. I was looking forward to the lower cost of sprint with 4G but not having unlimited data AND being on 4G, a 2Gb (or close) limit will be gone in no time fore me. It's starting to look like im gonna have to go buy me a Zach Morris phone or something!
P.S. Thanks for the heads up about this!
Man, am I happy to be grandfathered on my unlimited plan on AT&T
freaking awesome. AT&T has led the charge and now every other carrier is just as screwed up as they are.Awesome that everybody keeps charging tons of $$$ for the services, but they won't upgrade their networks. Glad I'm a grandfathered AT&T customer. just have to be really careful I don't exceed my bandwidth so they won't arbitrarily change my plan
Go figure. Once a cell carrier gets the iPhone, the unlimited data is killed.
I didn't want to get stuck with Verizon, but dang I think I will be now bc my contract won't end until Sprint's unlimited data is long gone.
Fingers crossed for VZW 4G to get on iPhone in the next year, and hope the 4G coverage doesn't suck as bad as my 3G coverage
Huh, thats interesting.
Well I never was one to really get mad at it but I did/do wish AT&T would have better plans. Like maybe give me 5GB for $35 or something instead of maxing out at 2GB. Same with other carriers. I think 2GB is too little and I don't ever use more than 5GB a month. That will control those data hogs and give others who aren't greedy with data a chance.
Off topic but this is why people don't understand how important T-Mobile is to AT&T right now. If they can buy EXISTING infrastructure it makes the process to expand and upgrade doable in a much shorter period of time than fighting literally thousands of governments for new construction and permit approval.
I enjoy your philosophy Mes lol (no sarcasm, for real!) It's true though, I secretly hope Sprint wins the fight in keeping AT&T from acquiring T-Mobile. I plan to switch back to T-Mobile eventually if it ever gets the iPhone (hopefully when my VZW contract is near ending). Switching quick before the unlimited data ends for T-Mo too lol.

CHICAGO -- The City of Chicago should repeal its ban on gambling to opt into the Illinois's impending video lottery market, said leaders of several Chambers of Commerce from the state.
Support for VLTs was announced during a joint press conference in mid-April by the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Illinois Black Chamber of Commerce and Chicago area union leaders. The form took place under the rubric of the Back to Work Coalition of Illinois.
The Chicagoland Chamber has posted specific language for a proposed amendment to local city ordinances that would permit VLTs in Chicago. | SEE AMENDMENT

text: after watching the Eagles/Redskins game last week: RG3 looks like he does two things really well. 1) Scrambles to out of pocket and runs up sideline for extra yards. I am not sure if its defense are afraid to hit him on sideline fear of penalty but RG3 picks up alot of extra yardage on sideline either due to incredible acceleration or defenses letting up. 2) RG3 has monster arm. He looks like he either wants to scramble or throw 70 yard bomb. He doesn't look interested in intermediate throws. Dallas should exploit his aggressiveness. How to beat skins: * The eagles were running the ball down Washington throat with basically a back-up offensive line (Eagles lost three of their best offensive lineman for year). A sound Dallas running attack exploits Washington poor run defense and keeps their most potent weapon on bench. * Hit RG3 on those sideline runs...especially Carter who has great acceleration sideline to sideline. * Play the ball on deep throws. I am not sure if its defensive backs are surprised at RG3 arm strength but they seem ill prepared to defend deep throws and we are not talking about big receiving core for Washington. Mo concerns me little here but I think Carr will defend well maybe even coming up with interception.

My two previous vehicles were Ford Explorers. I wasn't happy with the new version and after test driving a few other vehicles, I went to the internet to see what was available. I saw that BMW was having a difference event the following day. I had never considered a BMW, but decided to check it out. They had a Cadillac and an Audi Q5 to drive and compare. I drove the Q5 first, and then the X3 35i. The Audi wasn't bad, but I fell in love with the X3 immediately. I decided that day to buy it and ordered one the following week. I'm normally not an impulse buyer and do lots of research before I buy anything, but the X3 was so much more fun to drive than anything else I had driven. I've never regretted my decision and absolutely LOVE driving this car. My only regret is that neither I nor my salesman knew anything about DHP. Reading now what others say about it, I probably would have ordered it or at least waited to order until after I took a test drive with an X3 equipped with it.
I was torn between the Q5 and X3 myself; when I went to BMW they had a Q5 on the lot so I got to drive both. The Q5 was very smooth; however transitioning from a CLK 500, the X3 won hands down. Leased my X3 28i today; wanted all the bells & whistles so I'm waiting for it to come in. Can't wait, super excited.
Test drove both X3 and Q5 and really loved both. I agree with most of the points about the X3 being the better drive and better interior. Q5 is such an excellent vehicle. So well designed and rides well, but confusing controls and not as fun drive. You really cannot go wrong with either vehicle and close to be a tie when driving both vehicles. The choice is really personal preference.
mib, yes and I like it a lot. Since there are so many other great options out there now I like to suggest alternatives that prospective buyers might not otherwise consider. For example "wally" wanted a stick -- BMW no longer offers that option here, but others do. He is in San Francisco where a smaller car is an advantage in driving the hills and parking, so I suggested the new Ford Focus ST which by most objective accounts is rather a fantastic little pocket rocket. Nothing against BMW I have had many of them ranging from a '68 2002 through the 3 series, 5 series, 7 series and now the X3 which will be replaced -- hopefully by a Q5 TDI. If the X3 came in a diesel here I would be driving one now.

From what I read it will be the latter half of MY14 -- about 18 months or so out. That is just a tad too long when the Q5 TDI will be here within 6 months. The thing that gripes me is we are building diesels right here in s'burg but can't get them!
+ bmw is only offering the 2L no?
I drove the t-egg with the diesel and was impressed... The same setup for the diesel vw/audi/porsche no?
In Europe, where in many regions about half of the cars on the road run on diesel, these tax incentives are flip-flopped, with diesel drivers reaping the economic benefits accordingly."

Price has nothing to do with it... torque is why most people want diesel. It's too bad our american friends don't understand this.

So you're suggesting people that buy S55-70K (in general) are worried about the price of fuel?
Modern diesels are amazing to drive... consider the 35d has 465 ft-lb torque... that's 50% more than a 35i. Torque is what really get a car moving not horsepower.
As an added bonus you an additional 25-30% better fuel economy over the same displacement petrol version. (for the frugal premium buyer).

Perhaps in the USA.
Up here diesel VW's are well known for fuel economy and purchased because of savings. That said MB has been selling diesel models for a while now and while I was cross shopping the GLK with the X3 the MB sales guys said that for MB models available with a diesel option, 80% of buyers opted for the oil burners. Sure some MB buyers were doing it for the fuel economy but most for the driving dynamics.
It should be interesting to see BMW's M diesels...

The X5 has a diesel option. By all indications, the X3 and Q5 will be getting them and the reason cited is to conform to Obama administration regulations on all car manufacturers to attain higher MPG numbers. Nothing about torque.
Moving on, I notice in addition to the Q5, Audi has a "Sport Lifestyle" car called the Allroad with the ground clearance and muscular appearance of an SUV but cushy like a station wagon not unlike the Volvo and perhaps some other station wagon on steroids types of cars. Their are no diesel offerings but all the models are built around their 2.0 turbo (read fuel sipping) engine.
The VA(P)G diesels in the "big cars" (i.e. T-egg, Cayenne, Q-ships) are the same unit -- Porsche uses the same engine and drive train as the VW/Audi's at least for the moment in the base diesel -- a "Cayenne TDI S" is rumored to come in a few years. Most folks that I know want the oilers for fuel economy -- the torque is an added benefit! Anyone who has lived through the gas lines of the 70's (green flags, odd even days, 10 gal limits) knows that having the diesel cars -- which were exempt back then -- was a "good thing". The new 8 speed ZF transmission in the VA(P)G sav's pooches them up to around 30+ mpg on the highway -- a far cry from the old gassers that could be hard pressed to get 20! As an aside the new Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel will also have that ZF sourced transmission and a robust 240 hp/410 lbs of torque turbo V6 diesel in MY13 around spring as a '14. That engine is a VM Motori unit now used in the Jeep's overseas diesel offerings uprated for US use. The VM company is owned jointly by GM and Fiat. I would love to see that engine in one of the General's triplets too!
Earlier this year we did the small SUV search and drove a TON of stuff (well over a dozen makes/models - new and used). I'll spare you all the details, but not surprisingly it came down to the X3, Q5 and Volvo's XC60. What IS surprising is that we ended up with the XC60.
Here is a post I made after we had driven all three (note: X3 28i was the previous straight 6 2012 model, but we also drove the 35i):
Well, as part of our NEVER-ENDING small SUV shopping for my wife we went out and test drove a few vehicles today. My wife and I have both driven XC60s (3.2 and T6s), and she had drive the Audi Q5 in both 2.0T and 3.2 trims. Neither of us had driven the X3 (we own a few BMWs as I've mentioned in other threads). In short...I wish I could combine the best of these three into one SUV. Our impressions:
1. Powertrain - This was no contest...the T6 RD simply outperformed the Audi 2.0T and X3 28. The shocker for me ( an owner of 3 BMWs) was that it felt significantly better than the X3 35 (also a turbo 3.0). I don't know if it was a combination of the BMW tranny upshifting so dang quickly that it simply lagged, and then hit with a hard downshift when you legged it or what. I would not have believed the difference to have been so dramatic if I had not experienced it. The transmission on the T6 appears well-mated and shifts occurred when they needed to. The Audi's 8 speed tranny was also pretty well matched to the 2.0t (turbo 4), but it NEEDS to be since that motor ideally needs a bit more torque. The BMW - again, a disappointment on the 35. The 28 was better, but only adequate (better than a 3.2 Volvo though). Both the Q5 and BMWs had a weird somewhat sensitive tip-in that was a bit aggravating. Ultimately, the T6 RD performance here is really compelling (esp for a guy who owns an older M3 and M5).
2. Exterior Styling - Frankly, there isn't a bad looking SUV in this bunch. The BMW is muscular looking. The Audi is elegant, and the Volvo is swoopy. From the rear, side and 3/4 rear view the XC60 is pretty nice - but from the front...meh. The Audi looks great from the front and the back isn't too bad either - the side view is more "stubby" - overall, it is probably the one most people would say "looks good, nothing 'wrong'". The BMW has a good overall presence about it, but probably lacks a distinctive specific feature...heck, I think I just forgot what it looked like! Look, this one is going to come down to personal preference more than anything. We test drove a passion red (my preference) which "helps" the XC60 IMO.
3. Interior - This one is tough, but I have to say the BMW and Audi are a step above the Volvo in terms of interior build quality and materials. The BMW appears to be the best, followed by the Audi and then Volvo. From a purely visual perspective the Volvo has a LOT of interest, especially with the two-tone RD seats. The Audi cam across as austere in all-black, but I've seen a cinnamon interior in the Audi and it looks great (and breaks up the sea of black nicely). The BMW seemed to scream "I've got money...and I spent it on this interior". The Volvo had the best rear-seat room and comfort. The Audi's rear seat seemed cramped and the bench was...well...hard! The BMW seats looked and felt great, but I swear they seemed low and I was sitting more "knees high" than the others...I need to go back and compare them again, but that's how it seemed. The durability of the leather has us REALLY concerned on the Volvo. Frankly, we drove a manager demo with a paltry 1500 miles and you could tell the seats were already wearing. I see this noted on other subforums here too. The RD looks like the leather may actually be a tad softer than the already soft XC60 leather...this and the larger bolsters could be trouble. The BMW leather looked to be able to last forever much like my wife's 11 year old 530i with dang near perfect leather. The Audi looked to be somewhere in between, but probably closer to the BMW end.
4. Tech - Volvo Sensus vs. BMW iDrive vs. Audi MMI. So, today was my first time to use any of these systems (the previous XC60's we drove were pre-sensus). Overall, the Volvo system looks to be half a generation behind the Audi and BMW setups. This is consistent with what other reviewers have reported. However, it isn't the end of the world. The Audi system seems to have everything but the kitchen sink in it and a button for everything. Some things, however, are needlessly complex (like adjusting the seat heaters). Frankly, folks, sometimes a dedicated button is just easier/better. I do like how the Audi makes use of the center gauge display as well as the screen. The BMW seemed easier to use than either of them...imagine that...after all these years, a positive review for iDrive. It did have the coolest navigation screen showing the buildings, etc. I did like the dedicated radio station buttons in the BMW and Volvo. (ironic given that the Audi had more buttons total). I would say both Sensus and iDrive are the easier of the two systems to use. Finally, all of this tech stuff is nice, but to me it is kind of a gimmick and I'm not likely to weigh it nearly as heavily as driving dynamics, interior quality, comfort, power, styling, etc.
5. Ride Comfort - The Audi (19" rims) and BMW X3 28 (non-sport) were tied for first here. The T6 RD rode more stiffly with more impact harshness. The BMW X35 also rode a bit harshly. Impact harshness and noise were probably better than the RD, but the general josstling about seemed worse. I took all of them on reasonably long test drives and purposely asked for some rougher roads, freeway, etc. Noise level (wind/road) in the XC60 and Q5 seemed comparable. The BMWs were a touch better.
6. Handling - In all honesty, none of these are sports cars or even sports sedans (despite what the manufacturers would like you to believe). I was actually favorably impressed with all three. The BMW was probably best, but I wasn't like "OMG, BMW IS KING OF ALL HANDLING!" - and the sport package on the X3 35 wasn't worth the ride comfort penalty to me. The Audi was probably the best compromise here, but the steering was much lighter than expected.
7. Build Quality - BMW = #1, Audi = #2, and Volvo = #3. Again, the BMW and Audi are just operating at another level here. I'm not slamming the XC60. It is what it is. The Germans just feel more like they are carved from a solid piece of granite. The doors shut with more of a thunk, etc.
8. Braking - Big surprise here...I give the nod to the Volvo XC60. It came down to brake feel more than anything. It was firm and linear in the Volvo while the other two were a bit grabby and non-linear. Not a decision maker in and of itself...just another data point.
If could combine them, I would probably take the Volvo's engine and tranny, the BMWs steering, suspension and front seats, the Volvo's rear seats, roominess and cargo area, the Audi's exterior (maybe somehow meld it with the Volvo's) and Audi's MMI (I am an IT guy so...).
Anyway, we actually made an offer on the XC60, but were within a $1000 and walked away...and walked right over to the BMW dealer. We test drove the BMWs there, but did not make an offer.
The wild cards here could be a 2013 X3 with the new turbo 4 (I assume the X3 is about to get it like everything else in the line-up) AND the 2013 Audi Q5 which will get the supercharged 3.0 I6.
Ugh...this search is never going to end!
Here is the post from after the purchase:
It was a long day for my wife yesterday driving these cars back to back (yeah, yeah, I know -"First world problems"), trying to decide which of the vehicles to choose. The pros/cons for each car were still true. The BMW was still in a class by itself in terms of material quality, rock solid construction, etc. and probably would have been our choice had it not been for the basic "drive" of the car. The throttle tip-in issue was simply annoying. To quote my wife during her test drive "I could probably get 'used to it'...I am driving right now with my shoe off trying to adjust to it" - I'm sorry, but having to adjust to a throttle pedal is just ridiculous. Conversely, she declared the XC60 to simply be "more fun to drive", "more intuitive", "like an extension of me". Keep in mind we own 3 BMWs (well two now) - two of which are M cars (97 M3 and '02 M5)...we are not unfamiliar with BMWs!
The Audis (2.0T and 3.2) were both really nice, but perhaps devoid of a bit of passion. There was nothing inherently wrong with them and we can see why they win all the comparisons.
I knew whichever one we chose would mean regretting something. If we chose the BMW, we would miss the Volvo's power (note: see my disappointment in the delivery of the X3 35s power) and sleek lines. If we chose the Volvo, we knew there would be a ride comfort, build quality and resale value compromise. If we chose the Audi, I would have probably felt we had a nice car, but been ambivalent about it...and I didn't want to feel ambivalent about a $40K+ outlay.
So, here we sit with our new XC60. The ride comfort is definitely the biggest compromise (as noted in my thread on that very topic) with the R-Design. I told my wife "You picked the sports car of the bunch!". She is concerned this morning (classic buyer's remorse) that passengers will find it too rough. I assured her it would be fine, but it is what it is. Keep in mind, she had been driving her non-sport 530i all day which is comparatively cushy. I know this sounds critical, but I didn't want to post some generic "We bought an XC60 and the world is all candy and roses now" kind of review! The power is awesome, the drive is easy, it looks awesome (really, very cool both outside and in), and so far Sensus seems pretty dang decent and is definitely competitive as compared to the other cars (frankly, it is a non-issue).
Our specific model is, of course, a 2012 Passion red with the off-black interior with cream accents (best combo ever...of course my last three cars were Lemans Blue, Devil Yellow and Hellrot Red so you might say I am biased to bright colors), platinum package and cold weather package. This is exactly how we would have ordered one if it hadn't come up locally. We have three Volvo dealers in the area (Dallas/Ft. Worth) and this is a pretty rare combo around here.
My favorite "feature" so far: PCC. Let's face it, not having to mess with your keys is just nice...hardly critical, but nice.
I expect to provide an update to this thread or create a new one as time progresses
10 months later and we may or may not have made the same decision. Frankly, the Volvo's looks are better (purely subjective) and I still think the power is great. A friend got new M-sport 2013 28i (the 4 banger) and I thought the power was merely adequate compared to the T6 RD. Mileage at 20-21 on the Volvo is nothing to write home about though AND 3 months after we bought it I decided that the ride was indeed too rough and swapped out the rear shocks and springs for the standard suspension ($500 and an afternoon well spent).
Nice review! BTW, Audi does not offer an inline 6 -- supercharged or not. Their "VR6" is a narrow aspect -- single head -- much like an inline though. The "bigger" engines are more conventional V6's. As far as I know only BMW and Volvo still offer the classic inline 6 cyl gas engines any more. Dodge uses an inline Cummins diesel 6 in their heavy duty RAM trucks though.
OP, you can use the steering wheel jog wheels to scroll thru radio stations and your presets. I was able to do so on my old Q7

On June 19th, NAEDA participated in the National Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS) Initiative Steering Committee meeting when it held its first meeting in Washington, DC. Attendees of the meeting included members from the Northeast Center for Agricultural and Occupational Health (NEC) within the New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH), the University of Tennessee, the University of Kentucky, the American Farm Bureau Federation, ROPS manufacturing companies, social marketing groups, and insurance companies. Equipment manufacturers were representd by AEM while NAEDA represented equipment dealers.
The consortium discussed and debated strategies proposed to scale up ongoing efforts towards increasing ROPS adoption among tractor owners in the United States. Overall, the consensus of the Steering Committee was unified, in its dedication to work towards reducing the heavy toll tractor rollovers have afflicted on the American population. It was brought out at the meeting that 20% of today's farm accidents are caused by rollovers and that comes with an average cost of $960,000 for each accident.

Molds are hard to sell just because they are bulky, shipping is atrocious and people who seriously need them for slip ware will probably make ones themselves. I had to pass on 2 kilns I wanted to buy because I would have had to take the molds as well ... hundreds and hundreds of them. Piece them out on sites like ebay ... it will take time but they will mostly all get sold and the rest can just be land fill.
About a year ago I purchased a full pickup and 18' box truck load of molds, along with a slip reclamer <new cost around 450$> a whol bunch of glazes and paints some good some not useable. And a few shelves. Many of the molds have never been poured, it took me and the husband and wife that I bought the stuff from 4 hours to load the trucks. Id say theres close to 700 molds.
Not to bust the posters bubble but I got all that stuff for 200$.
Its not unusaul to see molds for FREE, as long as you take all of them.
Its also common to see molds for 1.00$ each
If one was willing to go through the smaller molds you might be able to sell on ebay for a better price. Large molds sold indivuadually would cost a fortuniue to ship.
Its kind of a shame because new mold prices are very high.

In the first quarter of 2014 (January through March), Bend Oregon real estate showed a nice uptick year-over-year. The statistics for residential homes with less than an acre in Bend demonstrate a 2.4 percent increase in the number of total homes sold, an 8.7 percent increase in the average sales price of homes sold and a 0.8 percent decrease in the average days on market. In addition, this comparison demonstrates a 64.7 percent decrease in the number of short sales and a 37.5 percent decrease in the number of bank owned sales.
Townhome and condo real estate sales in Bend jumped 22.0 percent, the average sales price increased 6.7 percent, and the days on market decreased 27.9 percent.
