Just how an FAA decision to close Coastal Carolina Regional Airport air traffic control tower will affect aviation remains unclear, but most close to aviation here say commercial and private planes will keep on flying.
Just how an FAA decision to close Coastal Carolina Regional Airport air traffic control tower will affect aviation remains unclear, but most close to aviation here say commercial and private planes will keep on flying.
�The whole thing boils down to expeditious traffic into the area and safety,� said Jack Trabucco, airport Fixed Based Operation (FBO) manager who owned Tidewater Air Service from 1976 until he sold it to Buddy Stallings and Eastern Aviation Fuel in 2001.
�But I don�t want to imply to the public that we�ll be unsafe,� he said. �I can�t recall us every having an accident because we didn�t have a tower.�
Coastal Carolina Regional Airport Director Tom Braaten got an email Tuesday that the New Bern contract tower will not receive funding as a way to meet sequestration across-the-board mandatory cuts.
Of the FAA�s 251 contract towers, 189 were under consideration and five other North Carolina contract towers � Kinston, Greensboro, Winston Salem, Hickory and Concord � are also among the 173 contract towers and 49 federally staffed towers the FAA would close to help cut more than $600 million from its budget.
There is an avenue of appeal that requires substantiating that the tower�s presence is a determined to be national necessary and Winston Salem�s Smith Reynolds Airport officials have indicated they intend to try to make that case before the March 13 deadline.
But with several military airfields and an FAA staffed tower in this area, Braaten said he thought it would be hard to make that case for the tower at Coastal Carolina Regional.
Commercial and private aircraft take off and land from area airports in Greenville and Jacksonville without towers, Trabucco said, using radar control facilities for aircraft at Cherry Point air station, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, and Washington Center.
Cherry Point air traffic control tower issued a statement that said, �We can't comment on any decisions made by the FAA in regard to ATC (air traffic control) staffing at local airports.�
�However, if reductions are made at those two airports (New Bern and Kinston), we don't anticipate a workload increase for air traffic controllers at MCAS Cherry Point. We provide no ATC service to the Kinston airport, and our controllers do not provide the same services at New Bern that the New Bern tower controllers provide.
�Cherry Point controllers will continue to provide standard air traffic control and radar services in the airspace they are responsible for in the region,� the statement said.
Stallings, now New Bern�s FBO owner with son Robbie Stallings, said, �Cherry Point has always been involved, now and when there wasn�t a tower for flights into New Bern. Pilots get instrument flight clearance from the tower at Cherry Point and even the tower here gets clearance and relays it to us.�
Longtime former private pilot Royce Jordan of Vanceboro, a past Coastal Carolina Regional Airport Authority chairman, said �Way back, we had nothing, we just came in and landed and Visual Flight Rules would let a pilot do that now.�
The first assistance came when the FAA moved and opened a weather station at New Bern which included a portable directional control station in which they had a Unicom radio, Jordan said.
Pilots had a radio frequency to dial in to the Unicom number to advise they were approaching and where they intended to land, he said. Most fixed base operators had a Unicom to give direction and keep other pilots notified.
After the New Bern tower was closed following the air traffic controllers strike, Jordan said �When we were flying into control conditions, we would be under air traffic control of Cherry Point until we had the airport in site and were at about 400 feet altitude. If I was on instruments and Cherry Point released me, I would call Unicom.�
That is what will most likely happen again, said Stallings. �I would imagine that what would happen is we would have a radio with the frequency in the general aviation facility and will respond to pilots using Unicom. That�s normally what happens.�
�In my opinion the people who are going to care the most about the tower not operating are Delta and U.S. Air,� Stallings said. �They pretty much schedule airline flights through the tower and like to have a tower-controlled airport.�
�As far as general aviation, it�s not going to make any difference to most pilots,� he said. �I don�t think it�s good but I don�t think it�s the end of the world either.�
If FBO staff �are on the ramp parking or fueling an aircraft, I don�t think it really affects safety if it�s not answered,� he said. �The FBO has no controlling function.�
But �traffic into and out of Coastal Carolina Regional is not as busy as it has been and not having a tower isn�t going to help anything,� said Trabucco.
Following Reagan�s firing of striking air traffic controllers, Trabucco said �We went 18 years without a tower. But our traffic has changed. We didn�t have heavy jet commercial traffic or as much private aircraft activity then.�
�We�ll have to wait and see what is going to happen,� Trabucco said. �It�s really sad to me, losing those folks and what they do to expedite air traffic and safety. And having a tower also puts the airport in another class. It helps it to grow.�

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) brought nearly $2.6 billion of federal funds to California for highways, local streets and roads, and $1.07 billion for transit projects. Under the Recovery Act, California had 120 days to obligate, or commit, half of these federal funds, and California obligated this funding in less than 60 days — two months ahead of the federal deadline. Caltrans was the first state transportation department in the country to surpass the $1.8 billion obligation mark. These funds are providing a much-needed jump start to California's economy, while creating an investment in transportation infrastructure that will leave a legacy for generations to come.
Since March 2009, Caltrans has leveraged the more than $2 billion in Recovery Act funding with other sources of state and local transportation funding for nearly 1,000 transportation projects — putting a total of $3.8 billion into California's economy. Nearly $600 million of this funding, as of the fiscal year end, has already been paid to transportation contractors — ranking California second nationally in Recovery Act funds paid.
To date, California leads the nation with nearly $2.6 billion in Recovery Act funding obligated to 991 highway, job training and local street transportation projects statewide.
The Strategic Growth Plan's (SGP) goal is to reduce the level of traffic congestion, so that in 10 years there will be less congestion than there is today. The SGP is based on the premise that investments in mobility throughout the system will yield significant improvements in congestion relief. To accomplish the objective, an estimated $107 billion investment in the transportation infrastructure will be necessary. It is anticipated that the $19.9 billion transportation bond (Proposition 1B) funds will leverage private sector, federal and local resources to multiply the total funds dedicated to improving and building our transportation infrastructure.
The Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006 (Proposition 1B) has paved the way for transportation projects like the $325 million Lincoln Bypass in Placer County, and the $79 million Interstate 210/215 connector ramps in Southern California.
So far, Proposition 1B has helped pay for the completion of 119 projects, get 228 projects into construction and move 717 projects in environmental or design phases. The bond program has also helped pay for the completed seismic retrofit of 36 bridges, rehabilitation of 10 miles of roads, and the construction of 10 miles of new lanes — many of which include high- occupancy vehicle or carpool lanes in Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Solano and Sonoma counties. The bond program has also helped pay for the widening of four highway ramps, construction of 11 transit facilities, purchase of 487 new transit vehicles, installation of more than 300 new traffic detection systems and an improved system operation — saving more than 1,300 hours of daily travel time so the public can spend more time doing the things they enjoy and less time on the road.
Proposition 1B provided $1 billion for corridor enhancements on State Route 99. Worthy of notice is the $70 million Atwater Freeway Project, which was completed nine months ahead of schedule and brings SR 99 one step closer to being a full freeway. The project received nearly $50 million from Proposition 1B, and upgraded nearly three miles of the highway in Merced County from a four-lane expressway to a six-lane freeway. Nearly 40,000 vehicles a day use the highway section.
Caltrans and the Business, Transportation & Housing Agency produced GoCalifornia, which became the transportation component of the Governor's Strategic Growth Plan (SGP). The plan developed system-wide transportation performance standards adopted by the California Transportation Commission. In addition, the SGP calls for state and regional agencies to engage in public private partnerships to attract billions of dollars in private investment for the development of transportation infrastructure in the state.
In January 2007, Caltrans, in collaboration with the Business, Transportation & Housing Agency and the California Environmental Protection Agency, completed the Goods Movement Action Plan (GMAP). The department spent two years coordinating feedback sessions and workshops with numerous local, regional and state agencies, the private sector and community-based organizations to develop the plan. The GMAP and the Emissions Reduction Plan are statewide action plans for goods movement capacity expansion, goods movement-related public health and environmental and community impact mitigation, and goods movement-related security and public safety enhancements. The California Transportation Commission used the plan in the development of the priority project list for the $3 billion Trade Corridor Improvement Funds (TCIF) Proposition 1B program.
During fiscal year 2009-10, construction began on four goods movement projects supported by $156 million in TCIF funding. In fiscal year 2010-11, 25 goods movement projects (valued at $3 billion) with nearly $800 million in TCIF funding are expected to begin construction.

Career Outlook
Undergraduate and graduate degrees in elementary education are most directly applicable to teaching at the level appropriate to the program emphasis. Increasing specialization of teaching assignments and downward extensions of ages of schooling continue to open employment opportunities. As in the past, elementary education graduates at all degree levels also continue to be attractive candidates for employment in many positions, which require (or are well suited to) training in social and behavioral sciences. Positions in constant contact with and service to the general public such as sales, service, public relations, and general business are most common examples. Future expansions of opportunities in schools are tied to population growth, increased specialization of services, and reduction in ratios between professional staff and children served. Many currently employed teachers will retire within the next 5‑10 years; consequently, a shortage of teachers is anticipated.

SCons / ColorGcc
The SCons wiki has moved to https://github.com/SCons/scons/wiki/ColorGcc
How to use the colorgcc wrapper to colorize the output of compilers ?
To be able to use colorgcc with SCons you need an environment that includes $PATH, $TERM, and $HOME.
env = Environment(ENV = {'PATH' : os.environ['PATH'], 'TERM' : os.environ['TERM'], 'HOME' : os.environ['HOME']})
- $PATH needs to include the path to where your symbolic links named gcc, g++, cxx, cc, all pointing to the colorgcc wrapper, are located.
- $TERM is used by colorgcc to check if the terminal is smart enough to handle colors.
- $HOME is used by colorgcc to find your .colorgccrc file including customizations.

Makes one wonder what they can do with this story after almost 40 years. A TV movie/pilot + how many episodes? 13? 26? The original was a 26 episode season telling the tale of one year in space to save Earth. Though I seem to recall that it was suppose to be longer (39 episodes) and thus a few plot lines got cut (Captain Harlock being one of those plot lines) and pretty much the entire return trip being one episode only. The core stories will remain...it is the other plots that they could tweak as needed. The single episode plots that were either to build characters personalities, or fill time between major events.
There is also the hope they would redo the second and third seasons eventually. The two Dark Nebula Empire based movies don't actually need a revamp, but I suppose they could make a season out of them if they wanted. The second season just because I'd really like to see the fuctional EDF with Battleship Andromeda in action using modern art and animation. The third season because it really, really needs to be reworked. It was suppose to be twice the length (52 episode season) and got cut down during production (to 25 episodes), so the ending is really rushed and haphazard. The start looked good and the middle is excellent...the ending (plot wise) looks really rushed and weird. Also I really wanted to see the plot with the Space Battleship Arizona that we only got to see the ending of (we and the launching of). The ship design looked good, like it was suppose to be a hero ship of sorts (like Andromeda), but it got cut due to ratings. The last 1980s film, Final Yamato, does not actually need a remake, as it still holds up.
Also voices. A lot has changed in those almost 40 years. Some people are quite dead. However there is one voice that should remain as an anchor....Desler's voice (Masatō Ibu), who is only in his 60s, his role in Yamato being pretty much his first TV voice acting roll. A roll he's done many times, even in the 2010 live action film.
One other thing to wonder about...will it be imported and dubbed into English at some point? I can't say if that would be good or bad...but several of the old Star Blazers actors are still around.

I'm certainly hyped after seeing that trailer. Plus, it's nice to say that i have faith in the staff that duckroll posted.
So the movie will be the first two episodes? That's pretty interesting. I'm guessing in that regards, that we'll be getting the TV series after that. Could be quite a wait if the film is out in April. Hoping it'll still be sometime in 2012.

It would be interesting to a faithful version of Yamato in English. It would be more interesting if they did keep the name Susumu Kodai instead of "Derek Wildstar" for instance and the new version did things differently than the original. Especially if this reboot manages to get Harlock in there.

I wonder if they will characterize anything differently now. It has been nearly 40 years since this plot was written. Some things have changed. Though I imagine the Gamilons as a mix between the United States and Imperial Germany (one Reich or another) will probably remain. At least the Gamilons had a reason to attack Earth. Most other parties didn't outside of conquest or revenge. For Gamilon it was survival. Survival taken to an extreme when the Humans didn't just role over and surrender. Defying the Gamilons made it worse, leading to the planet bombing. Yamato herself was the final straw that drove them mad. The single defiant ship that would not die under the entire strength of the Empire.
It is fortunate I suppose that they might someday provide Desler's redemption arc. Cause of all the villians in Yamato, Desler is the one people remember most...and the only survivor of Yamato's enemies. The only one remembered as much as Desler is Zordar...who was the over the top villian by the end. They soemtimes combine the two in parody since Desler is more well known, yet the Comet Empire arc was very popular (on par or even better received than Star Wars at the time in Japan).

The staff assigned to this version look fairly competent. I just hope they don't adhere TOO much to modern character styles. Okita, Kodai and Yuki Mori were very epic characters.
I'd like to think this modern version can work. Although I've been disappointed by Gegege No Kitaro, Cyborg 009 and Dororon Enma-kun remakes in recent times. Messing up Yamato would be criminal.
They'd better keep the original OP theme or slightly alter it at the max. That theme is integral to the whole Yamato experience.

Well so far, each Yamato film and project of the last few years has use the original OP. The 2009 movie's change was that is was sung by the ALFEE. The 2010 change was mostly orchestration, and the theme was never sung, just played. I liked the 2009 movie more than the live action 2010 movie, but the 2010 movie had better music (aside from the Steve Taylor ED which I usually ignore). I believe the some of the people in charge of the music died during production of the 2009 movie as the music stops fitting the scenes after about the halfway point. I think I even found the exact version of the last major scene's music froman orchestra preformance in the late 1990s, just slipped in near the end. The music fit the scene though. There were scenes using old classical music that fit half a scene, but then the scene changed tone...and the music did not. It didn't even keep up during the later battles which would normally have theme music playing as some point if Yamato was about to pull something off.
The 2010 film managed to throw in the proper themes at the proper times. When Yamato pulls something off, it has the right music behind it. When the scene changes mood the music changes moods to fit.
So if they don't have people die on them I image they can pull of the right music at the right time.

I imagine they will be styled more like the 2009 movie. The character art was similar to the short lived Yamato 2520 series, but more advanced. What little the preview showed reminded me of that. I wonder about some other detail things that were very Matsumoto. The uniforms for one. The trend for round cog like dials is another. The whole ship actually, but that's one thing they know they can't change. The doctor and his cat, but they will likely stay.
From what I recall in the 2009 film, they still had some people with the old arrow uniforms (basically just a few of the Black Tiger squadron members and Captain Kodai) and the females had a white version of Yuki's yellow uniform still. The controls were all different (more modern) and the cat, doctor, and Analyser (IQ9) were still present (they are about the only ones to still have a Matsumoto design in the film outside the Final Yamato flashback). So if the want to make it so the new series could be linked to the 2009 movie, they would keep what they need to and ditch the rest.
The preview we see Kodai in a space suit. Shima in some sort of uniform. Yuki's head shot. The Captain (the only one voiced). Sasha's body (behind the red capsule), the much more detailed Cosmo Zero (possibly over Mars, though it could easily be Earth), The higher detail pre-Yamato Earth Fleet and the three kinds of Gamilon light warship...and of course Yamato herself.

Looks like they have updated their website: They have a counter by days (presently there are only 112 days left)
They has some news that I don't know what it says.
They also have added a gallery that has a new ship for the old UN space fleet at Pluto. This gives them three types of ships now (the old "flagship", the torpedo destroyers, and the new ship) Might be a new laser ship or maybe it was the flagship (of an Admiral rather our beloved Captain his ship, which you can see in the background)

The official website has updated with some character models for the main cast as well as voice actors listed:
The uniforms seem like a mix of older series style and the newer live action movie...with slightly more traditional naval uniform lines rather than the race car driver lines of that film. They also seem to be actual rank shoulder bars. Also a unit patch
Yuki's uniform seems slightly more fanservice-y than the original, but only because of the extra detail lines added to it. Otherwise it is the same form fitting yellow unifom with black stripes. Just with the added patch and shoulder bars. (Her's is the only one to have her name over the unit patch as "Y. Mori", but that is only seen in one frame, so it is possible the other have it as well.)
The Captain's uniform is almost the same as always, save for some redesign of the anchor insignia and the addition of what looks like a unit patch on the upper arm. He also looks kind of old for 57 with the white hair and beard.
Mechanical updated as well. Showing off Yamato herself, the Cosmo Zero, Cosmo Tiger, one of the auxileries, amd the older recon fighter with skids for landing on Mars.
Yamato is Yamato, the differences are minor and in details only.
The Cosmo Zero (Type 52) looks basically the same as it did the last time we saw it in Final Yamato. Her makings and paint have been detailed out a bit.
The Cosmo (Black) Tiger has the same shape as before, but has been updated a lot. She's got shealth (F-22) like engine outlets (two indead of waht looked like a single ramjet exhaust in 1974). This is the fighter they only used in the first series and was replaced for all the othe productions by the Cosmo Tiger II. It is also different than the ones from th Live Action movie. A note that they also changed the paint job. It is no longer sporting the traditional black and yellow paint but more closely matches the later Cosmo Tiger II's greys.
The Auxilery looks like a new craft. Actually it looks like they mixed and matched some of the wide selection of craft Yamato carried and made something to fit all their roles instead of having six different craft...most that they used only once or twice. It looks more like the Medical shuttle.
The recon fighter (some called the Cosmo Falcon) looked about the same at it did in the first episode...skids included. It is just more detailed.

Character update: http://yamato2199.net/character.html
Looks like there are adding five other people to the main cast list...including four more women (pretty ones too). Yuki will not be the only one anymore.
It is unfortunate that I can't read this all that well, so I don't know who they people are...not who voices them (though that I could figure out given a lot of time).
The nurse has fetish fuel written all over her. Very high Thigh high boots....clumbsy...mini-skirt as oppose to all the other women's skin tight suits. Probably a host of other things as well.

Well, now Ensign Akira Yamamoto has my interest...voice interest (mmmmm Rie Tanaka). I was going to write her off at first as the "cool girl type" and focus instead on Lieutenant Kaoru Niimi...because glasses and short hair. I still might seeing who she's voiced by.
(Arcadia City? On Mars? Still makes me wonder if they are going to try to pull off that old Harlock storyline they wanted to do in the original run but couldn't due to budget and episode number cuts.)
I wonder why they would need a purser though. Maybe because they are carrying unlicensed deck crew under their added Boatswain.
Shigeru Chiba is sort of a returnee, he did have a few minor roles in the later two season of Space Battleship Yamato some 30 years ago.
I am still hoping for Masatô Ibu to come back as Dessler.
Having Rina Satou as the nurse seems interesting.
And Aya Hisakawa had an intelligent blue haired character again.
I'm still wondering about Ono Daisuke as Kodai. I'm trying to picture that without him going fabulous...or with extra ham.

Cocoanut Grove Demolition Halted -- For Now
Some movement on the Cocoanut Grove (well, what's left of it) preservation front: The L.A. Times writes that the Los Angeles Unified School District has agreed to temporarily halt demolition of the famed nightclub:
The Los Angeles Conservancy sought to halt the wrecking ball until a judge had time to rule on whether the district was breaking the law by tearing the club down...
In a second, related matter, the conservancy dropped its call for an injunction to bar the district from destroying items collected from the hotel's pantry, the site of the 1968 assassination of U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
The district said the matter was moot, as it has no plans to destroy the items, including electrical fixtures.
Demolition is halted until at least February, when a hearing will discuss the conservancy's allegations.
The L.A. Conservancy has filed suit over the decision to tear down the Cocoanut Grove -- which originally was slated to be saved, even as the rest of the Ambassador Hotel was sadly torn down.
Adds the paper:
The district also quietly destroyed the pantry but saved fixtures, sections of the structure, and the ice machine, and 3-D imagery was taken of the room.
Those moves led to the current lawsuit, in which the conservancy alleges that the district hasn't proven that its only option is to tear down and replicate the club and that it improperly handled the pantry. The district said it discovered that the pantry would crumble if it were moved in one piece and that its method of preservation was better.
Meanwhile, Hensel Phelps has been contracted to build the middle school, high school, auditorium and other structures on the 24-acre site for $566 million.

Our beloved Penguins were mostly outplayed and outcoached in the first round, but managed to win in six.
Islanders outshot Penguins by five shots per game, 32.8 to 27.8. At times, the Islanders dominated.
Senators meanwhile, managed to outscore the Canadiens by 20 to 9, but in reality it wasn't easy for them either, although they won in five games.
Canadiens outshot Senators by more than five shots a game, 36.0 to 30.8. In game one, the Canadiens shot 50 times - 1/3 of the shot total for the Senators in the entire series. In the 2nd period in game 1, Canadiens outshot Senators 27 to 7.
This is good for the Penguins I think, as it is not expected that Senators can keep the constant pressure on them like the Islanders were able to. Regardless of how our coaching staff manages ("let's get to our game"), by virtue of this match up, the Penguins should be able to improve their puck possession against the Senators. This fixes many problems that were evident in the first round.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which has a wavelength of between 220 and 400 nanometers (nm). UV radiation is considered non-ionizing which means that the radiation is not sufficiently energetic to remove electrons from an atom. UV radiation can, however, cause some tissue damage depending upon the duration and energy level of the exposure. The lower the wavelength of light, the higher the energy. Of particular interest to research is the UV wavelengths between 220 and 290 nm known as UVC.
UVC is used in many applications because of its bactericidal qualities. This type of light is used in biosafety cabinets throughout the college and can be harmful to skin and eyes. The symptoms of UVC exposure are generally not felt until a few hours after exposure. It is very important to use the proper shielding at all times when the UV light is on. Eye protection should consist of safety goggles which meet ANSI Z87.1-1989 and C.S.A. standard CAN/CSA - Z94.3-M88. In addition, face and skin coverings should be worn. The glass sash of the biosafety hood should fully shield any UVC if it is closed completely. In addition to shielding, the power output of these lights drops off dramatically with distance, therefore, it is prudent to maintain the greatest distance from any unshielded light.
To keep the light in the optimum working order, it is advised that the bulb be washed with an ethanol wipe each week and replaced after one year of service. Before working on the UV lamp make sure that the light is off. It is a good idea to disconnect the unit to assure that lamp will not turn on during installation. Most work with UV light is safe and easy and the simple precautions mentioned above will ensure that the risk of exposure is minimized. If you have any questions or want to learn more about UV radiation, please call the Environmental Health and Safety Department at x4152.

Also, my personal theory about Van Dine's rules is that Will COULD use them(since using them and killing mysteries is sort of his job) but since he is not a jerk he chose not to declare his rules in red since he doesn't want to break Beatrice's gameboard. It would explain how Bern sidestepped so many of his rules, he just didn't use them because she reminded him of how that would break the gameboard. And it would fit with his personality.

I'm joking, but I wish there were more Dine rules. They didn't get as much attention as the Knox ones, which is a shame. S.S Van Dine is probably one of my top 5 favorite mystery writers.

Just think of it: The fans are there, just in the moment. Shipping Maximus. Battler and Beato are really close, and then there's an *Ahem* out of nowhere. Battler and Beato stop and turn to see the one intruding this moment. The intruder is Will, who is there with his eyes closed and his stern face. He says "I'm sorry for intruding at such terrible time, but...". At this point Will, while keeping his eyes closed, shows his pimp smile and says: "There's one last bit that should be mentioned, before this touching closure." Battler and Beato ask what it could be, and then, suddenly, with a troll face at full Will says: "Van Dine's Twenty Rules. Rule #3. It is forbidden for a love interest to exist!" (Cue ending sequence)

Literally no one cares about Gohda even though, as far as I can tell, he's the only person who can definitely be called legitimately innocent in basically any scenario not involving him being the actual killer (which is just silly). He seriously was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Still, he's a guy who got killed in the incident. Surely somebody wants to know what happened to him. A guy who really, really liked his cooking before he lost his previous job? His landlord? Somebody must be sad for him.

Nanjo Masayuki still operated the Nanjo clinic, which was fairly close to Rokkenjima; Kumasawa worked at Rokkenjima for decades, so she probably lived on a nearby island; they would be easy to track down in any case, and Ange would be going right by them.
Gohda was the youngest employee at the hotel, but the oldest of the applicants at Rokkenjima. I'd guess his age in 1986 about 40. That would put his parents age in 1998 in their 70s, if they were still alive. Plus, there's no reason for them to have roots around Rokkenjima, so they could be anywhere in Japan.

To Sherringford, I have always enjoyed the quotes n arguments YOU presented thus far. Perhaps I sounded slightly overbearing but bear in the mind I was making those comments lightly except the part on law, coz i know intention is never proved rather it is implied. If YOU r offended I apologize ofc.
On final note, BRAVO!!! again Renall, that is truly very funny yet seriously insightful. An argument in context seems to be way better at presenting the picture than an argument based on pure statement of values. I applaud u once again.

So, I was just speaking with a friend to whom I recommended Umineko loooong ago (and by this, I mean back in the days of EP5) and he just reached EP3. Either way, I found it funny because he reached the same conclusion I did about Beato's dream (the one about the little girl in Kuwadorian) and the flashback with Rosa and Beatrice. Just like me, he didn't think they were the same person. It's funny, because after EP7, I had almost completely forgot about this. But, even then, I cannot associate that girl with Yasu either, because, as far as we know, Yasu was never in Kuwadorian (other than, possibly, by the time she was born) and she was a servant. However, the girl in Beato's dream, whilst we were never told any particular age for her, due to her behaviour, I think it'd be fair to guess she's probably between... say... 5 and 10 years old. In addition, this girl didn't even seem to be treated as a servant, and she spoke of a certain grandfather.
As for why I didn't think that little girl wasn't Beatrice 2, that was due to some reasons. One being that Beato 2 didn't seem to have any idea why she was being called Beatrice. In the flashback we saw when she spoke with Rosa, she said she was supposed to be a witch, but she didn't know anything about that. In addition, Beatrice 2 didn't seem to like being Beatrice and her main interest was to get out of Kuwadorian and the island. On the other hand, the little girl in Beato's dream did know who Beatrice was (i.e. Virgilia - which is even funnier, because I don't recall Yasu thinking of Kumasawa as Beatrice, and I think she always thought of Beatrice as the one in the legend, and later on, some of her imaginary friends (the first one being Gaap) and finally herself), and she did show interest in magic and said she wanted to become the new Beatrice. As a side not, there also seemed to be a cat in that house and I'd find it weird for there being one in the island, if it wasn't a pet. But well, it was probably delivered as a pet for that girl.
Of course, we could see this dream as one huge metaphor. Kumasawa would be the 1st Beatrice since she was the one who taught Yasu about mystery novels and tricks. The little girl taking about this "grandfather" could be a hint about Beatrice's true lineage. The rest, like Kuwadorian's and this girl being the one that was served could have been mere illusions and red herrings.
There are other things that I've mentioned before, which I believe do not make much sense like, if EP1-2 were written by Yasu, then she probably should know about Battler's real mother, since Rudolph's confession was mentioned there. How would she know about that?
I'm wondering if these things mean anything, or if these are plot points R07 just decided to drop.

Was that place Kuwadorian though? Didn't that part say that there where multiple servants? Wouldn't it be hard to have multiple servants that work for a little time in the island going about to a mansion thats suppose to be hidden?
I think my first reaction to that scene was with that girl being a young Jessica for whatever reason but that didn't make much sense either at the time. Probably just a big old red herring or dropped plot point!

Or, more likely, it's a portmaneau of different events into a single fantasy. Remember that in Beatrice's magical narrative, she's trying to pass off three people as a single immortal being.

And given that it's Umineko, etymological and semantic terms are equivalent to metaphysical constructs at this point. This is a mashup of more than one scene that are mixed into one impossible scene, probably not unlike how in EP6, Battler's personal emotions and problems in the Meta-World are clearly compounded with Kinzo's experiences with the Kuwadorian Beatrice.

The story cuts off in EP7 after she became Beatrice in title, and she said that she wanted to go check out Kuwadorian to learn more about her mother/sister. (Hurray for incest.) So, this may have been how she imagined she would've been brought up, especially with Virgilia/Kumasawa as her tutor.

5 Cool DIY Liquor Cabinets
We aren't big drinkers in my household, but it's nice to have a little something around for guests. Which means our liquor cabinet needs aren't much: No glass and mirrored giant in the corner of the living room. That's why I'm taken with these nifty DIY ideas. I'd love to create a small liquor cabinet (that doesn't necessarily look like one) with nothing but elbow grease and little to none of the green stuff.
1: This just-right-for-bottles shelving was made inside an old ironing board niche.
2: An old suitcase hanging on the wall (complete with tags) has been transformed into a small liquor cabinet.
3: A vintage French grocer's cabinet has been converted into a tall, slim (and space-saving) liquor cabinet in this example.

text: Mustafa invented a way of tapping this quantum effect via what's known as the dynamic Casimir effect. This uses a "moving mirror" cavity, where two very reflective very flat plates are held close together, and then moved slightly to interact with the quantum particle sea. It's horribly technical, but the end result is that Mustafa's use of shaped silicon plates similar to those used in solar power cells results in a net force being delivered. A force, of course, means a push or a pull and in space this equates to a drive or engine.

Our Breastfeeding Miracle
Janet Silber Raleigh
North Carolina USA
From: NEW BEGINNINGS, Vol. 15 No. 4, July - August 1998, pp. 107
We provide articles from our publications from previous years for reference for our Leaders and members. Readers are cautioned to remember that research and medical information change over time.
My husband and I will probably not be having any more children, and so it has been hard for me to watch Rebecca leave her baby stage behind. Before we leave this stage of our lives, I want to relate our breastfeeding miracle. It may give other women greater confidence in their own judgment as it did for me.
Always small and extra lively (we call her "wild thing"), Rebecca seemed to catch every illness that she was exposed to and she always caught it hard. Large groups of children would have guaranteed colds or worse for her. However, at 16 months I thought she was sturdy enough to go to a weekly baby sitter for a few hours while I went to work. This was a wonderful in-home care situation-a wonderful caregiver, other children we knew and liked, and a good location close by in a friend's home.
Soon after we started, my daughter began having intermittent diarrhea. Nothing seemed to help for long, and one dreadful night she began throwing up and couldn't hold down any food or liquid. At 4:00 AM, I had one of those moments when I knew something was really wrong, and all my senses were instantly alerted.
The next day she was hospitalized with a disease called rotavirus. There really is no cure. It has to run its course. She was immediately put on intravenous fluids (IVs) and my husband and I spent two days in the hospital holding her; time seemed suspended. She was small to start with and had been sick for two weeks already. I was so afraid for her.
The first thing the doctor said after she was hooked up to the IVs was that she should have no food or liquids for 24 hours except clear liquids. The hospital staff was relieved when I told them we were still nursing. Human milk is considered a clear liquid. By the evening, she could nurse again. One of the first calls I made at the hospital was to my La Leche League friends. Although we were in the hospital for just two days, their visits and support made us feel confident about how we cared for our daughter. It didn't seem strange that my husband stayed too, or that I asked for a bed so that I could sleep with my daughter. It had become par for the course for us to meet our daughter's needs unabashedly, no matter what other people thought.
Over the next few days, my daughter was attached to me, nursing away as she had as a tiny baby. We were so grateful she was still nursing. I know it helped her get well, and I knew she was getting nourishment that was digestible and good for her. I had never really believed that the baby created the milk supply. Rebecca was a snacker and I always worried about my milk supply. However, in two days of nursing exclusively (no solid food), she had my supply cranked up to new heights, which was apparently just what she needed.
Our family life has been truly chaotic since our daughter was born. I was 41 (all my relatives thought I was the world's oldest mother) and my husband was nearly 50. He has had to deal with some very difficult medical problems since Rebecca's birth. I had to quit work unexpectedly, and I think we experienced more chaos and changes than the average family. Through it all, the nursing steadily assured me my daughter was being taken care of.
We have new challenges now. My husband has had to resign his job and is home on disability. Our daughter is more little girl than baby. My once petite little baby is now a robust 30 ponder. She recently weaned but is still not sleeping through the night. My La Leche League friends are still there, helping with compassionate advice that fits our family whenever I call. Our thanks to Diane and Cindy and Elizabeth for all their care and compassion!

Fire up the printing presses, we have a presidency to prop up! WASHINGTON (TheBlazeAP) — The Federal Reserve will spend $45 billion a month to sustain an aggressive drive to keep long-term interest rates low. And it set a goal of keeping a key short-term rate near zero until unemployment drops below 6.5 percent. The policies are intended to help an economy that the Fed says is growing only modestly with 7.7 percent unemployment in November. The Fed says it will direct the money into long-term Treasurys to replace an expiring bond-purchase program. The new purchases will expand its investment portfolio, which has reached nearly $3 trillion.http://weaselzippers.us/2012/12/12/fed-a...ing-back-bonds/

NEW YORK — Fans who dream of watching the likes of Thierry Henry, Raúl and Ronaldinho on an MLS field at the same time can wake up. That dream is closer to being a reality.
MLS announced on Thursday morning an update of the Designated Player rule to allow every MLS club to sign two DPs. Teams will also have the option to purchase a third DP slot.
In a mechanism that works similar to a luxury tax in other professional sports, an MLS team seeking a third DP slot would be required to pay $250,000 that would be evenly shared as allocation money with all the other MLS clubs that do not have three DPs.
The Designated Player rule, popularly referred to as the "Beckham Rule," was first introduced in 2007. It allowed MLS teams to pay a "designated" player above the club's league designated salary budget.
Each DP player signing will now count as $335,000 toward a team's salary budget and $167,500 if the DP is signed midseason. According to the league, the $335,000 figure represents approximately 13 percent of a team's salary budget. Previously, teams were charged $415,000 against the salary budget for the first DP. A team can also use its allocation money to bring that salary budget hit down to just $150,000.
MLS confirmed that these new rules will be effective immediately.
It is worth noting that DP slots cannot be traded between teams, nor can a team acquire a fourth slot or more.
Also, DP slots can be used to sign existing MLS players.
According to the league, the Galaxy's Landon Donovan will count as a DP while New York will be compensated with $70,000 of allocation money for the second DP slot the club acquired two years ago.
It all seems like a mathematical and administrative nightmare at this point—though no worse than any other professional league's roster rules, to be fair—but it should make a few dreams come true for fans.

The two winningest programs in NCAA Division III history meet Saturday at Mount Union Stadium in a second-round playoff game.
Another game, another standout opponent up for Mount Union's No. 1-ranked Purple Raiders.
Saturday, No. 10 Wittenberg visits Mount Union Stadium for a second-round Division III playoff game.
Wittenberg has won its last 10 games after opening with a loss to Butler, a Division I-FCS school. The Tigers roared through the North Coast Athletic League, then blew through Lebanon Valley in the first round to the tune of a 59-17 victory.
And by the way, Wittenberg's 727 wins are the most in Division III history — two ahead of Mount Union. This after the unbeaten Raiders had banished the third-winningest program, Washington & Jefferson, in the first round.
"I think they are very good," Mount Union head coach Vince Kehres said of the Tigers.
Very good offensively. Very good defensively. Very good, period.
How good offensively? Seven of the 11 members of the All-NCAC first team came from Wittenberg, with quarterback Reed Florence named the offensive player of the year for coach of the year Joe Fincham. Senior offensive linemen Aaron Coeling (6-foot-2, 285 pounds) and Matt Widemon (6-8, 295) were repeat picks. So was senior tight end Stephen Zumdick (6-2, 240).
Wide receiver Brendon Cunningham made the unit after two years on the second team, while sophomore running back Sean Gary and sophomore center Alec Nutting complete the top squad.
Sophomore running back Jimmy Dehnke, a Jackson High School graduate, was a second-team pick.
Having that many experienced, talented guys goes a long way toward the Tigers scoring 47.6 points, just behind Mount's 47.9 per game. They have scored more than 50 five times and their 27.1 first downs a game lead Division III.
Florence ranks second in the nation in passing efficiency, his 194.8 rating a spot ahead of Mount Union QB Kevin Burke's 192.3. Both are adept at finding the end zone and avoiding interceptions, with each tossing six picks and Florence's 36 touchdowns one more than Burke's 35.
Florence threw six TD passes in the rout of Lebanon Valley.
"He's a lot bigger than Kevin," Kehres said. "But he's an excellent athlete. He's a threat to scramble. He has very good arm strength and accuracy."
Kehres pointed out Florence is blessed with a balanced attack. Dehnke (101 carries, 621 yards, 6.1 per-carry average) and Gary (153-842, 5.5) are quick, strong backs. Cunningham (54 catches, 1,021 yards, 18.9 average, 11 TDs) and Desi Kirkman (34-710, 20.9, 12 TDs) give Florence explosive wideouts.
"I think they are balanced offensively like Heidelberg," said Kehres. "They have a strong running game and passing game, the quarterback can run the football. They look pretty solid."
The Wittenberg defense rates high, too. It's ninth against the run (88.1 yards per game), 22nd in total defense (282.1) and 26th in points allowed (15.9).
Inside linebacker Spencer Leno, from Massillon, ignites the defense. His 104 total tackles lead the team, as did his eight last week. The senior made the All-NCAC first team, along with linemen Josh Bannick and Josh Montgomery and defensive backs Heath Eby and Mark Swope.
"We think he's one of the best, if not the best, player on their defense," Kehres said of Leno. "It's a good defensive unit. They've got some big tackles who eat up blockers and that keeps the linebackers free to run and make tackles."
Beside Leno, outside linebacker Evan Killilea made All-NCAC second team and has 74 tackles, 10 for loss, and five sacks. Senior linebacker/lineman Kyle Sanning also has 10 tackles for loss, with six sacks.
"They are very good against the run," he said. "It will be a challenge for us to run the ball."

Malaga attacking midfielder Isco has won the prestigious Golden Boy prize, which is awarded to Europe's best under-21 player by Italian newspaper Tuttosport.
The 20-year-old was selected by a panel of 30 journalists working for the most influential publications from 20 nations around the Continent.
The Spanish midfielder became the 10th player to receive the award after seeing off the 39 other nominees who were initially selected.
"I'm overjoyed. It is a wonderful thing. I see the past winners and it almost makes me shiver, names of the highest prestige, like Messi," Isco told Tuttosport.
"This Golden Boy [award] will be an incentive for me to become a real star of international football, like those who have gone before me."
Isco accumulated 137 votes to win the prize, beating off competition from AC Milan's Stephan El Shaarawy - who came in second with 125 votes - and Atletico Madrid's shot-stopper Thibaut Courtois, on loan from Chelsea, who came third with 116 votes.
"When I read that I was one of three candidates for the title a I dribbled a little, I thought it was a joke," Isco added. "When I knew that El Shaarawy and Courtois were the other candidates, I didn't expect to win."
Previous winners of the accolade include the likes of Lionel Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Aguero and Wayne Rooney, while the 2011 winner was Borussia Dortmund's Mario Gotze, who picked up the award at 19 years of age.
Isco has been in excellent form for his club so far this season, scoring six times and assisting on another eight occasions in his 25 appearances.
His performances in the Champions League in particlar have drawn praise, particularly from the media in his native Spain.
But he insisted that he is only focusing on establishing his place in the national side, and played down comparisons to Andres Iniesta.
"So far I have been called up once for the Spain national team. I want to convince coach [Vicente] Del Bosque to call me up as soon as possible. Wearing the Roja jersey is a dream for all Spaniards.
"The Spanish press say that I am Iniesta's heir, but a comparison is wrong because Don Andres is one of the strongest midfielders in the world, our World Cup hero, the player who deserves to win this year's Ballon d'Or. However, my idol is Ronaldinho."
Isco, who will be presented with the award before kick-off in Saturday's clash with Real Madrid, also said he was happy to stay at Malaga for the foreseeable future, despite rumoured interest from los Blancos and English Premier League champions Manchester City.
"I'm fine here," he explained. "I have a contract until 2016 and a buy-out clause of €21 million. I am 20 years old and that does not mean that I should leave soon. It is a decision that has to be carefully considered with the club, with my agent Jose Segui and with my family."
Malaga currently lie in fourth place in the Liga table, just five points behind Jose Mourinho's men after amassing 28 points from 16 games.

Engaging Today's Militant Atheist Arguments with Ian Hutchinson
In November 2010, a small group of leading pastors, scholars, scientists, public intellectuals, and informed laypersons gathered in New York City to consider several pressing questions at the interface of science and faith (see summary statement ). Three papers, each addressing a different question, provided the framework for our discussions at the meeting. These were presented by Faraday Institute Director Denis Alexander (see paper), Oxford theoretical biophysicist Ard Louis (see paper), and MIT physicist Ian Hutchinson. Hutchinson's paper addresses the question of how to engage arguments put forward by the New Atheists by offering a critique of scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is.
Editor's Note: After some discussion surrounding the use of the world "militant" in the last video from Ian Hutchinson, we've asked him to clarify his use of the word in the accompanying paper. He responds in this video:
What do I mean by Militant? Nothing different from what the dictionary says. 'Vigorously active and aggressive, especially in support of a cause' (Free Online Dictionary). The Pocket Oxford Dictionary says 'engaged in warfare (Church militant, Christians on earth), combative,' So this ephithet has not historically been considered an insult and is not intended by me as one. Militant atheists is a factual description of those who are active and aggressive in support of their atheist cause. If they wish to return the compliment by referring to militant Christians, they will have some historical precedent and I shall not complain, but I am personally less aggressive, even if perhaps not less vigorous, than the likes of those who are often called New Atheists!

The application mmGraph provides a data display service similar to that of mmDataTable. The usual data source is a running solver, but rather than the textual output provided by mmDataTable, mmGraph produces 2D line plots. mmGraph also stores the data it receives, so it can produce multiple views of the data and can save the data to disk. Postscript output is also supported.
mmGraph may be started either by selecting the mmGraph button on mmLaunch or from the command line via
tclsh oommf.tcl mmGraph [standard options] [-net <0|1>]
Input to mmGraph may come from either a file in the ODT format, or, when -net 1 (the default) is active, from a client application (typically a running solver). The File|Open... dialog box is used to select an input file. Receipt of data from client applications is the same as for mmDataTable. In either case, input data are appended to any previously held data.
Curve breaks (i.e., separation of a curve into disjoint segments) are recorded in the data storage buffer via curve break records. These records are generated whenever a Table Start or a Table End record is read from an ODT file, when an empty data record is received from a client application, or when requested by the user using the mmGraph Options|Break menu option.
Unlike mmDataTable, mmGraph internally stores the data sent to it. This data may be written to disk via the File|Save As... dialog box. If the file specified already exists, then mmGraph output is appended to that file. The output is in the tabular ODT format. The data are segmented into separate Table Start/Table End blocks across each curve break record.
By default, all data currently held by mmGraph is written, but the Save: Selected Data option presented in the File|Save As... dialog box causes the output to be restricted to those curves currently selected for display. In either case, the graph display limits do not affect the output.
The save operation writes records that are held by mmGraph at the time the File|Save As... dialog box OK button is invoked. Additionally, the Auto Save option in this dialog box may be used to automatically append to the specified file each new data record as it is received by mmGraph. The appended fields will be those chosen at the time of the save operation, i.e., subsequent changing of the curves selected for display does not affect the automatic save operation. The automatic save operation continues until either a new output file is specified, the Options|Stop autosave control is invoked, or mmGraph is terminated.
The File|Print... dialog is used to produce a Postscript file of the current graph. On Unix systems, the output may be sent directly to a printer by filling the Print to: entry with the appropriate pipe command, e.g., |lpr. (The exact form is system dependent.)
Graphs are constructed by selecting any one item off the X-axis menu, and any number of items off the Y1-axis and Y2-axis menus. The y1-axis is marked on the left side of the graph; the y2-axis on the right. These menus may be detached by selecting the dashed rule at the top of the list. Sample results are shown in the figure at the start of this section.
When mmGraph is first launched, all the axis menus are empty. They are dynamically built based on the data received by mmGraph. By default, the graph limits and labels are automatically set based on the data. The x-axis label is set using the selected item data label and measurement unit (if any). The y-axes labels are the measurement unit of the first corresponding y-axis item selected.
The Options|Configure... dialog box allows the user to override default settings. To change the graph title, simply enter the desired title into the Title field. To set the axis labels, deselect the Auto Label option in this dialog box, and fill in the X Label, Y1 Label and Y2 Label fields as desired. The axis limits can be set in a similar fashion. In addition, if an axis limit is left empty, a default value (based on all selected data) will be used.
The size of the margin surrounding the plot region is computed automatically. Larger margins may be specified by filling in the appropriate fields in the Margin Requests section. Units are pixels. Requested values smaller than the computed (default) values are ignored.
As mentioned earlier, mmGraph stores in memory all data it receives. Over the course of a long run, the amount of data stored can grow to many megabytes. This storage can be limited by specifying a positive (> 0) value for the Point buffer size entry in the Options|Configure... dialog box. The oldest records are removed as necessary to keep the total number of records stored under the specified limit. A zero value for Point buffer size is interpreted as no limit. (The storage size of an individual record depends upon several factors, including the number of items in the record and the version of Tcl being used.) Data erasures may not be immediately reflected in the graph display.
At any time, the point buffer storage may be completely emptied with the Options|clear Data command. The Options|stop Autosave selection will turn off the auto save feature, if currently active. Also on this menu is Options|Rescale, which autoscales the graph axis limits from the selected data. This command ignores but does not reset the ``Auto Scale'' settings in the Options|Configure... dialog box. The Options| Break item inserts a curve break record into the point buffer, causing a break in each curve after the current point. This option may be useful if mmGraph is being fed data from multiple sources.
The Options|Key selection toggles the key (legend) display on and off. The key may also be repositioned by dragging with the left mouse button. If curves are selected off both the y1 and y2 menus, then a horizontal line in the key separates the two sets of curves, with the labels for the y1 curves on top.
The last command on the options menu is Options|Smooth. If smoothing is disabled, then the data points are connected by straight line segments. If enabled, then each curve is rendered as a set of parabolic splines, which do not in general pass through the data points. This is implemented using the -smooth 1 option to the Tcl canvas create line command; see that documentation for details.
A few other controls are also available only through the mouse. If the mouse pointer is positioned over a drawn item in the graph, holding down the left mouse button will bring up the coordinates of that point, with respect to the y1-axis. Similarly, depressing the right mouse button, or alternatively holding down the shift key while pressing the left mouse button will bring up the coordinates of the point with respect to the y2-axis. The coordinates displayed are the coordinates of a point on a drawn line, which are not necessarily the coordinates of a plotted data point. (The data points are plotted at the endpoints of each line segment.) The coordinate display is cleared when the mouse button is released.
One vertical and one horizontal rule (line) are also available. Initially, these rules are tucked and hidden against the left and bottom graph axes, respectively. Either may be repositioned by dragging with the left or right mouse button.
The menu selection File|Exit terminates the mmGraph application. The menu Help provides the usual help facilities.
The axes menus are configured based on incoming data. As a result, these menus are initially empty. If a graph widget is scheduled to receive data only upon control point events in the solver, it may be a long time after starting a problem in the solver before the graph widget can be configured. Because mmGraph keeps all data up to the limit imposed by the Point buffer size, data loss is usually not a problem. Of more importance is the fact that automatic data saving can not be set up until the first data point is received. As a workaround, the solver initial state may be sent interactively as a dummy point to initialize the graph widget axes menus. (You may turn off the Interactive schedule connection after sending this data point.) Select the desired quantities off the axes menus, and use the Options|clear Data command to remove the dummy point from mmGraph's memory. The File|Save As... dialog box may then be used--with the Auto Save option enabled--to write out an empty table with proper column header information. Subsequent data will be written to this file as it arrives.

God must think the same thing about Auburn, Florida, and Tennessee... Because UGA cannot beat them. Of course UGA did beat Florida last year, but what is the overall record the last 15 years or so??
UGA may have been 10-2, but the season was an overall disappointment and failure. All you dumb dawgs were having visions of a national championship before game one, but you couldnt even make it to the SEC Championship if i remember correctly! Go War Eagles!Funny, UGA is not known for its academics, so what will happen if its football continues to disappoint? Start cheering for Tech baseball?
The fact that you barely beat Tech last year is laughable, too. We were definitely a sub-par football team and you dumb dawgs were supposedly ranked 8 or so... can you say overrated? :-)
HA HA HAI agree, Reggie Ball is smart enough to play for Georgia. That game sucked overall... it was cold, rainy, and our QB cannot count to 4. let's debate which school has a better baseball team, then i can actually win the argument, LOL.
It's getting way too easy to upset you dumb dawgs! I love it! Albeit, you dumb dawgs are pretty clever, too, much more so than I. Your insults are harsh, especially the one about Buffalo not having a summer and the lack of girls at Tech. Good job, Captain Obvious. If used correctly, that attribute will make you a fine attorney! Speaking of "d-bag" schools, i'm curious, where did you get your environmental engineering degree? I'm going to take a wild guess and say not Georgia Tech.

Hi Guys,
Sorry to burther you all but I really need help from Gurus of Linux Redhat OS on (Fedora Core1).
I am new to Fedora Core1 (Redhat) but not bad with windows. I one day a friend gave me fedora core os to set as a DNS server to my newtork, which i did and getting fun with it. But what I dont get right is, how can I stop people from sending ICMP, mail relaying, etc from that os (FC1)?
When I was using my window systems, I filtered all that is coming in and out of the network and my network was okay that time... As i set that FC1 as secondary DNS to the window system, my network started to become slow and when i checked (monitor) my bandwidth utilization, I found out that I am transmitting almost 90-95% of my total bandwidth and that is not right (usual) to me....
Now, I decided to change back to my window environment till I find solutions and tips on how to make a clear system (DNS) from Fedora Core1 (redhat).
Guys advice please.

Quote: The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome Dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the Wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of 13 Dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild, through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins, Orcs and deadly Wargs, as well as a mysterious and sinister figure known only as the Necromancer.
Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the Goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever...Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of ingenuity and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities...A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.
