How about "TRIMAG"?
How about "TRIMAG"?
Nice work Bunny! This one is my favorite!Originally Posted by Bunny
this is great guys, thankyou so much for the help.
**Bunny pm me when you get a chance.
**Luke, pm me if you have more details and info about the CNC engraving this.
**Tot, thankyou so much for the donation.
__________________________________________________ ___________________________
im kinda flooded with info here, what should i do next with this. like i said im out of my element here. i would like to move one step at a time.
i like the valve design luke quoted, if anyone has a better design that they can come up with, post it up.
im no good with photo shop yet, i just know basics.
amazing work on these.Originally Posted by Bunny
this is awsome i thought i would throw that out there.
I too am worthless with photoshop... the only thing i would add to bunny's design would be to incorporate the "X" in the design somewhere... perhaps like the emax valves to it, "Mag x3" or "Mag x^3" (not sure how/if we can do numbers 'to the power of' on the forum) Just food for thought!Originally Posted by knownothingmags
I'm just happy you liked my idea
To leave feedback: Click seller/buyers name, Click feedback score, Click leave feedback
i like the idea of encorperating the X in there somewhere as well.Originally Posted by sQuidvision
so that it has some what of a stock look to it like it came from the factory.
Bunny you think you could throw and X like the X on the xvalves into the designs some how?
what about a top grip so you can hold it like a minigunOriginally Posted by knownothingmags
props on taking the time to put on your AGD shirt
what about ano-ing the 3 bodies differently and then using 3 different barrels too... one of them shold be an APEX for maximum unexpectiveness
that looks great but the design looks like i just lasered a new logo over an already existing X.Originally Posted by Bunny
could you size the X down, and have three of them cascading across some how? all three different sizes? or would that be too busy?
lol i have three of those shirts i always wear them.Originally Posted by BTAutoMag
i like the idea of the different colors
but ill come back to that when im closer to anoing the parts.
can you repost that in my project thread so all i have to do is reference it there?
thanks BT,
Ryan M.
Remember that Vin Diesel movie called "Triple X". I don't want to make your mag remind everyone of that horrible movie.... lol
I'll take a closer look at your requests tomorrow to narrow down the design some more...
good point dont need movie references.Originally Posted by Bunny
thankyou again for alll the help on this.
I was just looking at tooling for this exact type of engraving last week (logo and printed lettering) I need to do a little more investigating before I can offer any more information. I will probably need a final file before I can give you a final bid though.Originally Posted by knownothingmags
most definently.Originally Posted by luke
i may still go with lasering but its always great to know.
i may have you do the engraving on the 45* panels after i have you do the CFL type milling to them.
i might just have you do a milling again to the panels and have the CFL milling as well. like you did for my batery packs.
Three fold
how about "TripleMAX"
How about hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.
still would like to encorperate the X in there some where.Originally Posted by C_losjoker
and thats alot of words on each valve.
KNM: I'll have some more free time tonight to work on your project. The first round of designing was to see what type of typography you like. It sounds like you want to keep the originality of AGD with the design. More rounded text, light vs. dark text, etc.
Do you want to keep the design to the back half of the valve or attempt to laser engrave on both parts of the valve? Depending on how it is laser there may be a slight vertical black line where the two halves meet.
Also, do you have any other cool names for the project? Triple X Mag, Triple Mag, X3 (reverse lightening bolt on the 3), Triple Threat, T MAG, etc.
Let me know!
i was thinking TripleMAX, with the x on the end being like the xvalve x. kinda a play off the EMAX valves.Originally Posted by Bunny
let me know what you think, lasering will be done with the valves screwed together as if you wanted to put them in a gun and go play.
let me know if i did not answer anything right.
did ya get it shooting yet???
considering i dont have the valves yet. no. lolOriginally Posted by need4reebs
workin on it.
I like the AO hex'ed one best all of these are beautiful designs and this mag will be remembered for years to come. That is unless someone tops it with a "quadruple mag" or something like that
Originally Posted by knownothingmags
oh? all the pics have valves?
those are not the valves that will be in this and do not want to tune this marker with valves that will not be in it.Originally Posted by need4reebs
pornoMAG xXx
Ugh, I got creative "writers block" Nothing I made really panned out tonight.... Back to the drawing board...
I want to design it so its not just a logo slapped on a valve, but to add lines to make it apart of the triple mag.
For whatever reason I was obsessed with trying to make the R.I.P in "triple" something cool. lol.
Luckily we have some extra time for the build!!

text: Matthew Stafford passed for the sixth most yards in league history in 2011. He threw for the eighth most touchdowns. On the surface, he followed it up with an equally worthy 2012. His 4,967 yards were second in the league, and yes, seventh in league history. His connection with Calvin Johnson — 122 catches for 1,964 yards — was the most prolific of all time. He averaged over 310 yards per game for the second consecutive year — at the age of 24. But there were times in 2012 where Stafford didn't appear to be quarterbacking as much as fly fishing. Marionetting. Paperboying. Soulja Boying. Whatever you want to call it. Contorting his body in Houdini-like fashion seemed almost as important as completing the pass. It made for a lot of incompletions. 292 of them to be exact. More of Stafford's passes hit the ground than Josh Freeman's (252), Ryan Fitzpatrick's (199) and Brandon Weeden's (220), among others. Stafford's 59.8 completion percentage was off 3.7 percent from his 2011 mark, and 0.2 below the "acceptable" threshold of 60.0. He turned the ball over 21 times, including 14 times over his final eight games. The Lions, of course, went 0-8 during that stretch, sputtering to a disastrous 4-12 finish one year after going 10-6 and making the playoffs for the first time since Bill Clinton was president. What Went Wrong How could a player who appeared on the verge of unheard of greatness as a 23-year-old quarterback stumble so badly in a year where he had the most prolific receiver in the 92-year history of the NFL? For starters, Stafford had to do too much. Thanks to a disastrous running game and a defense that couldn't get anybody off the field, Stafford attempted 57 more passes than anybody in the NFL. But that's not all. His 727 attempts were 36 more than anyone else had ever dialed up in — here's that phrase again — league history. He seemed to feel the pressure most at the beginning of games. 12 of his 17 interceptions came before halftime, while his QB rating was a full 15.5 points higher after the break (87.0 to 71.5). Suddenly, you can see why Stafford didn't get much bang for his 4,967-yardage buck. His 6.8 yards per attempt — which like his completion percentage was 0.2 below the "acceptable" threshold of 7.0 — was a woeful 21st in the NFL, and nearly an entire yard worse than his 2011 mark. Jake Locker, Andy Dalton and Andrew Luck were among the quarterbacks who averaged more yards every time they dropped back to attempt a pass. But it wasn't just his running backs and defense that laid too much on Stafford's plate, but his pass catchers. That might seem hard to believe considering his yardage total, but it's equally hard to believe just how much went wrong for Stafford's receiver corps.In Week 7, he lost his nominal No. 2 receiver Nate Burleson to a broken leg. Burleson may be old, slow and one-dimensional, but he's also damn reliable, and averaged 5.2 grabs per contest over Detroit's first five games. But Burleson's injury wasn't necessarily a death blow. That's because the Lions had the most productive receiver in NCAA history — Ryan Broyles — available to take his place in the slot. Finally 100 percent recovered from the torn left ACL he suffered his senior year at Oklahoma, Broyles didn't miss a beat, averaging 3.6 catches between Weeks 8 and 12. Not electric, but enough to cover for Burleson's loss. Broyles had his best game in Week 12, catching six passes for 126 yards and a touchdown. So naturally a week later he tore his right ACL. Like Burleson, he was out for the year. With Burleson and Broyles both down for the count, it was time for mercurial second-year pro Titus Young to step up. There was just one small problem: As of Week 11, he was also out for the season. Unlike Burleson and Broyles, however, Young wasn't hurt. Dissatisfied with his role in the offense, Young intentionally lined up in the wrong spot multiple times in the closing moments of Detroit's devastating Week 11 loss to the Packers. That would be the same devastating loss where Stafford missed six of his final seven throws as the Lions desperately tried to overcome a one-score deficit. The same devastating loss that dropped the Lions to 4-6 and effectively out of the NFC playoff race. The same devastating loss that left the Lions with no choice but to send home Stafford's only viable deep threat outside of Calvin Johnson. Things were so bad for the Lions at receiver that by the next time they played Green Bay in Week 14, they were starting Kris Durham. Signed off the street just five days earlier, Durham ran the wrong route on Stafford's lone interception of the evening, and committed a costly fourth-quarter drop in a game Detroit went on to lose 27-20. For good measure, Durham was responsible for another wrong route interception — this one of the "pick six" variety — in Arizona one week later. Stafford's lack of weapons at receiver was evidenced in part by how little damage he did outside the red zone. In 2011, he had 12 touchdown throws of 20 yards or longer. In 2012, only five.Dumb LuckIf the ravages of injury and incompetence weren't enough for Stafford's receiver corps, there was some dumb luck thrown in to boot. A big part of both Stafford's "real life" and fantasy regression was a fluky-bordering-on-comical decline in his touchdown rate. There's no arguing the main reason Stafford's TD total dropped from 41 to 20 was because his play simply slipped. But you know what didn't help? Calvin Johnson getting tackled at the one-yard line an unfathomable six times. Those six plays weren't the difference in either Stafford's or the Lions' down year. But they are emblematic of a season in which everything that could go wrong did. A season where Stafford set the single-game record for passing yards without a touchdown (443 in Week 16). From Titus Young becoming the NFL's answer to Aldrich Ames, to the best receiver in the NFL not being able to gain three freaking feet six freaking different times, Stafford didn't catch any breaks. Coupled with his undeniably worse play, it made for the most disappointing 4,967-yard season you're ever going to see. On FilmMechanically, Stafford defined his season on his very first drive, if not his first throw. On his first dropback, Stafford rolled right before sidearming a bullet to Calvin Johnson for a four-yard gain. 11 plays later on a first down from the Rams' three-yard line, Stafford failed to set his feet on a quick slant, tossing a bullet interception to Janoris Jenkins. His first of 17 picks on the year had been intended for Tony Scheffler. Stafford's season went on to be embodied by those three Ss: Sidearm, Sloppy and Scheffler. Stafford's arm talent is considerable. It's elite. There's not a single throw he can't make. If only he wouldn't insist on trying to make them with all manner of arm slots. At times, Stafford legitimately resembles Byung-Hyun Kim. Stafford's ability to throw sidearm leads to the occasional breathtaking completion. A bullet through an impossibly tight window. His reliance on it, however, gets him into trouble. As you may have guessed, underhanding a ball through three defenders isn't a very high percentage throw. Then there's the matter of Stafford being able to make any throw. Again, that's good. The problem is, he believes any receiver can make any catch. The NFL is not for the faint of heart. You have to be willing to make daring throws into tight spaces. But for Stafford, it's a way of life. In 2011, it paid off in making him look like a poor man's Kurt Warner. In 2012, it made him the NFL's answer to Landry Jones. Stafford loves throwing high and over the middle of the field. That's great when he's throwing to Calvin Johnson. Not so great when he's throwing to Scheffler and Brandon Pettigrew. Stafford threw either behind or above his stiff-hipped tight ends an incalculable amount of times. He never missed by much, but Johnson was only his receiver capable of making the spectacular play after Young and Broyles went down. Far too many drives were killed because Stafford had too much faith in his arm, and by extension his unspectacular receiver corps. Jumpballs to Scheffler, Pettigrew and Durham regularly turned into picks. Then there's the matter of his horrid footwork. For every time Scheffler didn't make a play on a catchable ball, there was a time Stafford dialed one up that not even Megatron could catch. Stafford's overthrows were legion, and almost always a result of failing to set his feet or throwing off his back foot. Stafford's unique arm talent means he can sometimes get away with this. But in 2012, he seemed to think "sometimes" was "all the time." Stafford wouldn't be Stafford if he started trying to emulate Tom Brady's perfect motion, but he must be less cavalier, and more patient, with the ball in 2013. On the bright side, Stafford never misses low. He threw maybe a handful of balls at his receivers' feet all year. His arm strength is evident on each and every throw. He's also a better scrambler than he's given credit for. Stafford is not Aaron Rodgers, but when the pocket collapses, the play is not over. He's fearless. Disintegrating pockets don't bother Stafford. He's willing to get hit if hanging in one second longer means even a small gain. He never locks onto one receiver. There were times in 2012 when Stafford should have only thrown but Calvin Johnson, but that's not his M.O. Just like he thinks he can make any play, he thinks he can make them to any receiver. As we just went over, it gets him into trouble with bad personnel, but it moves the chains with good personnel. Defenses can't ignore a single receiver, even if it's Stefan Logan or Will Heller. Stafford will throw to them. What Could Still Go Right When assessing the travails, disappointment and divine comedy of Stafford's 2012, there's a few things you need to remember. Chiefly, he just turned 25. He's made only three more career starts than Sam Bradford. He's made 12 fewer than Josh Freeman. When Stafford breached the 5,000-yard barrier in 2011, he did so in his 29th career game. When Drew Brees first reached the 5,000-yard plateau in 2008, he was playing in his 107th career game.Stafford is only 19 months older than Andrew Luck. His career is still in its infancy. A lot went wrong in 2012, but we've already seen so much go right. He has a building block in Calvin Johnson that's the envy of the NFL.But as Stafford proved in painful and prolonged fashion last season, no one can do it alone, and any turnaround is going to start with an improved supporting cast. The Lions have done all they can to surround Stafford with weapons, but their best laid plans have gone awry. Forget the second-round pick they wasted on Young, or the jury still being out on Broyles. Ignore Scheffler's painful limitations. The issues go beyond the receiver corps. Injuries have knocked Jahvid Best out of the NFL, and made Mikel Leshoure plodding and one-dimensional. Former undrafted free agent Joique Bell did his best impression of a playmaker out of the backfield last season, but is not someone who threatens defenses. He maxed out his potential by Week 14, and was phased out down the stretch. The Lions have to get someone who can make plays at running back to take some of the pressure off their quarterback. Maybe it will be through the draft, or maybe it will be through agency. Quite possibly, both. Signing Reggie Bush would be an excellent start, but one back — especially one who's been known to get nicked — isn't going to cut it. The Lions need to find two legitimate playmakers to complement, or possibly supplant, Leshoure. Defenses can't be sitting and waiting on Stafford dropping back like the inevitability it was in 2012. Then, of course, the Lions must address receiver. Burleson will be back, and eventually, so will Broyles. But if Calvin Johnson thought he drew a lot of double teams in 2012, wait until we get to 2013. Detroit simply can't keep propping up the best receiver in the NFL with the likes of Tony Scheffler and Brandon Pettigrew. Another early draft pick must be used on a receiver. Money must be spent. Perhaps an old friend — Greg Jennings — will be willing to come over from Green Bay if the price is right. A possession receiver who still manages to threaten beyond the first level of the defense, Jennings would be a dream bookend for Megatron if he could stay healthy. If Jennings proves too costly, even someone like Brandon Gibson would be a major improvement over what the Lions have now. Stafford has as much raw ability as any quarterback in the NFL, but we saw how far his raw ability alone could take him in 2012. It's a given that Stafford can't be as loose with the ball or as sloppy with his footwork in 2013. Our Best Guess For 2013 Stafford is by no means a lost cause. His good attributes far outweigh the bad. He just needs to do a better job of realizing his teammates' limits as well as his own. Maybe he's not the next Kurt Warner, but the next Dan Fouts or Warren Moon. A prolific volume passer who can never quite get his team over the hump. Either way, Stafford's arm is an all-important part of the solution in long-suffering Detroit, not the problem. There will be more growing pains. What Stafford did wrong in 2012 can't be corrected overnight. But it's absurd to believe the No. 1 pick of the 2009 draft has already peaked, or isn't capable of piloting a perennially competitive team. He's only nine months older than Russell Wilson for pete's sake. With a few more weapons and a lot more diligence about his mechanics next season, Stafford will be back to where he was this time last year: a mid-20s quarterback who's already proven he can throw for 5,000 yards and 40 touchdowns. If you're ready to give up on that, the joke's on you.

Lady Cats led by Reeves' 36 points
Stronger play on the defensive end and an offensive explosion by Teagan Reeves lifted Three Rivers to a 56-36 home win over Edwardsburg Friday in Wolverine action.
"We started playing better defensively and getting stops, it allowed us to play a little more comfortably at the offensive end," Wildcat coach Jason Bingaman said. "Then we were able to make some plays."
Reeves made many of them as she scored 22 of her 36 points in the second half. The Lady Wildcats outscored the Eddies, 33-18, in the final two quarters.
"She has to (takeover) in situations like tonight when things weren't going well for us for periods of time," Bingaman said of 6-2 junior. "She was able to make some big plays in the second half in our run. Clautia (Pou) was able to find her with some nice passes to get us some breathing room."
Three Rivers (11-1, 6-0 division) held a 23-18 edge at the break. Edwardsburg (4-7, 4-3) cut the deficit to one points behind four points by Olivia Hack.
The Wildcats followed with a 11-0 run as Reeves scored eight and Pou hit a 3-pointer.
Edwardsburg's Alexis Blake stopped the run with a three-point play, but the Wildcats still held a double-digit lead, 38-27, after three periods.
The Wildcats played most of the second half without Linsey Masnari, who was called four her fourth foul in the third quarter. Reeves and her teammates picked up their games.
"Anytime one of those two (Reeves or Masnari) isn't playing at the top of their game, I think the other one senses that a little bit," Bingaman said. "And we needed everything from Teagan tonight. This is why were a team. We had other girls that were able to come in and step up. Kim Sibert played some good minutes off the bench for us, obviously Clautia coming off the bench did some nice things. And so it was a community effort to help us when we were struggling."
In the fourth quarter, Three Rivers continued to pull away to the win.
Three Rivers did grab an early 11-2 lead, but it could have been more, according to Bingaman.
"We came out and tried to pressure the ball and we forced 12 turnovers in the first quarter, but we didn't do anything with it," he said."That hurts."
It was 13-5 after one stanza, but Edwardsburg got as close as two points, 15-13, midway through the second quarter. Bingaman felt that the Lady Eddies were playing stronger than his team early.
"Our energy level and our toughness, they were tougher than us in the first half," he said. "A lot of the loose balls, the 50/50 balls, we didn't get to. And our rotations were not great. The didn't get a lot of shots in the first half, but they made their shots and that's what kept them in the game."
The Wildcats were able to push the margin back to 23-18 by the break.
"A lot of offense and confidence is generated by our defense and we flat out didn't play well on the defensive end in the first half and the first part of the third quarter," Bingaman said.
Pou added seven points for Three Rivers, Marissa Wyngarden and Masnari each finished with four, Nicki Bennett hit a triple and Siebert added two.
Hack topped Edwardsburg with 13 points and Blake tossed in 11.
Three Rivers won the board battle, 27-19, with Reeves collecting 14. Wyngarden added five. Pou dished seven assists, while Bre Lester had three and Curstin Holloman and Wyngarden each had two. Reeves also swatted seven shots.
Bronson 45, White Pigeon 33
Bronson grabbed the early lead then held off White Pigeon in SJV girls basketball Friday.
The Lady Vikings led 11-2 after one quarter and built the lead to 21-8 at halftime. It was 34-18 after three quarters.
Skyler Sobeski led the Bronson (9-5, 3-1 league) with 10 points, Kassidy Bystry tossed in eight, Amberley Bercaw finished with seven, Mallorie Bassage scored five, Brelyn Hoard and Kayla Roberts each added four, Sarah Morgan had three and Grace Pyles had two.
White Pigeon (2-10, 0-4) was topped by Haley Miller with 11 points, Ashley Miller tallied nine, Bethany Hagner added eight, Allie Bailey ended with three and Danielle Chantrenne had two.
"The girls are playing with heart and effort," Chiefs coach Steve Boatman said. "And by the end of the season, come district time, I think it will be rewarded."
Lapham grabbed seven rebounds for the Lady Chiefs, while Ashley Miller and Haley Miller each had six.

ok I spoke with CPX about getting a 10x10 venders tent and he asked why. So I told him "So Tom can bring his shoeboxes and so Tom, John and Bud can display all the paintball history I will get them to bring. I can also get with some of our members and bring out a bunch of NEW automag products to sell. Also put us next to Simon, he'll be ok with with it, I promise you, I can maybe line up an automag tech but I can't guarantee it will be free, in fact it probably wont. Hell, just put Simon in the same spot as us and make it a 10x20."
So anyways... we have a 10x30 vender space reserved for us
youre welcome!
I've already talked to the power quartet and Simon is on board, Bud and John will be bringing as much history as they can carry. Havn't heard from Tom as of yet but I'm handing him a table to sell his shoeboxes on so I don't think he'll complain too much.
now it's up to the members.
XMT, Luke... youre involved. no choices in the matter. You can either show up and sell some stuff and meet all of us or mail it to me and I'll put it in the booth and advertise your businesses to death. If you decide to send your stuff for us to sell for you we will keep it supervised during the event and under lock and key during all other times.
Teching. I said there MAY be a tech there. I did not mention there was already one attending the event as I'm not sure how much BigEvil wants to tech over playing so his teching services are a secret. Someone get ahold of Tuna and get his input on this. He has a booth spot available and can charge for his services, or do free labor with parts
Bunny, you have a pallet of history... I need to speak with you about that, lol
anything anyone can add?
Who's bringing stuff for display/sell:
-Bunny's prototype collection
-Bud Orr's dusty attic
-John Gregory's mystory tour
-Xmagterror merchandice
-Simon's bag of Inception epicness

Hahahah Paul you should have told me that one year ago and I had not bought the Acer 10 inch screen Nettop I used now and not the two android smartphones either.
I bought these to use at open spots to check emails and forum entries when me travel.

However, Evercookie not only uses the cookie, but a number of other locations such as Flash cookies, Silverlight isolated storage, and various locations of HTML5 storage. When a user deletes their standard cookies, the other locations remain and are able to rebuild the original cookie.
I built Evercookie as a proof of concept, wanting to show how web sites are able to track users even if they delete standard cookies and LSOs. Evercookie also sheds light on the fact that there are numerous methods for storing cookies locally. Finally, Evercookie acts as a litmus test for users who want to see if they're protected from web sites that track like this.
: Is the installation process automated or does the user have to initiate it?
Samy Kamkar
: No, the client simply visits the web site. There is no indication that persistent data is being set, exactly like a website with standard HTTP cookies.

Hope I am not too naive.
What one need to do then is some program that recognize when an Evercookie is about to be set and that that program just pretend that all works by giving faked confirmation all has been set up and as the evercookie wants it but in reality that sites evercookie is blacklisted in some list so it is not set next time either?
Does it help to do like some told us that they made an ever updated pupsave.
so when one start anew in the morning the pupsave of yesterday get scrapped and the backup are loaded and that way nothing that did happen change that backup?
One store things one want to keep like email and html pages and pics and muic outside of pupsave and only reuse a never write to back up that is reused again and again?
I guess those that use a CD with puppy is like that
for us with frugal they can write anything to our HDD I guess.
One would need a program that looked for evercookies and be able to erase them. .
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Well, I suspect the point was that, if he could develop them, others could and probably have developed them. Better to get the issue out on the table before they have taken over half the world's computers and filled them with garbage.
Sounds like noscript can prevent them. I suppose I ought to try it yet again...

I hope in this post to make the Evercookie seem less fearsome,
more understandable and very easy for us Puppy users to clean up.
- Macromedia Super Cookies
Websites can use your macromedia flash files to track you across multiple
domains. Flash is not a part of your browser and it doesn't have
controls over the data Macromedia stores.
We have control!
/root/.macromedia is the parent directory where the data is stored. If you
don't want to be tracked by the content in those sub-directories, delete
the parent.
Edited to add:
it will recreate itself, so the deleting should be part of your
normal keeping things clean routine. The recreating itself means it will make
new directories and store new data. Once deleted the previous data is
I mention the /root/.macromedia directory because it is a portion of the
technology the Evercookie uses
- Silverlight isolated storage
I'm not even using it. To the extent the rest of us are not using it, there is
no Silverlight exploit.
- HTML5 - Various Storage Locations
Don't kill me with fearsome generalities. We are running specific operating
systems and browsers.
The OS here is Puppy Linux. The browser is SeaMonkey. (or whatever the
user or puplet installed)
SeaMonkey stores its cache under the parent directory /root/.mozilla in a
directory called Cache
Every time we empty the Cache we also empty the supposed but
non-existent various HTML5 storage locations.
- Clearing your private data
Google is main sponsor for Mozilla. Need I say more?
Google doesn't seem to believe in deleting data, not in my opinion. Don't
play fool to thinking setting your Mozilla browser really deletes data by using
browser settings.
If we are serious about deleting private data, write a script to delete the
*.sqlite files in the profile directory.
End of post. The Evercookie is gone as well as a lot of other tracking
information stored on YOUR PERSONAL computer.

Bruce, you mentioned the sqlite files before. I guess I don't understand how you can delete all of them, since that includes (for example) signon.sqlite. I couldn't function without site login information stored in the browser. No way I could remember every login.

I understand exactly what you mean.
For others, deleting the *.sqlite means all the information in
them is gone. But you don't necessarily want to keep
deleting all the information because some of it you want.
I've been learning Windows XP lately, so first I'll explain how
it did it with XP.
1) delete all *.sqlite
2) when the browser starts it will make fresh *.sqlite files
3) go to the trusted sites you regularly visit and enter your
login information
4) after you have done this, shut down the browser.
5) copy all the *.sqlite files (which have basically only
information you do want) to a different directory, such as
one level up
6) make a batch file to delete the *.sqlite files in the profile
directory and copy back the ones which have the login
information you want
You can use the same basic technique with the Linux bash
Now I'll offer an experiment for anyone who wants to do
some testing.
In Windows go through step 4 and make the files read-only
In Linux go through step 4 and make the files immutable
using the chattr utility. I don't remember if the operative
switch is -i or +i , I think it is +i, if so the command would
chattr +i *.sqlite
I learned to do this in the Netscape days. There was a
period in time where a lot of sites wanted cookies enabled. I
made the cookie file read-only and no site ever balked.
Moreover, it seemed they had the cookie feedback they
wanted, which caused me to suspect the cookie information
existed in some cache even though it was never written to
In conclusion, the first steps I outlined do work. It requires
a little work to get it setup, but once setup it is a piece of
The read-only / immutable portion of the post would be
experimental insofar as I haven't tested it. But I think it
stands a good enough chance of working, that its worth a
One last thought. The sqlite files are binary. Puppy's strings
utility will display text in these binary files. A hexeditor will
If anyone has some sqlite files that have been in use for a
while, and you want to see the contents, you'll get an idea
of kind of personal data they contain.
Also, and very importantly, they were mentioned as a
storage point for the topic of discussion: Evercookies

The Evercookie uses JavaScript APIs do to it's dirty work. So, if JavaScript
is turned off one wouldn't get this kind of cookie.
But turning it off wouldn't delete the cookie if it existed. It would prevent it
from being used.

And if one turn of java then many sites refuse to let one make a comment or write in their forum or to read the text until one allow at least the major Ad provider to show their ad and then one see the text one look for.
So it is not easy. I try to use NoScript in FireFox but Opera and Chrome have their own Ad blockers and those are too difficult for me to learn how to use.
So I am kind of locked to use FireFox and as far as I know they have no addon yet for an EverCookie?
But are EverCookie being used now on many sites? First I thought that almost every big site used them and now I rad that it is only a concept a guy showed off and almost none use them but that in the future maybe a lot of sites would?
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

Application release management company Serena Software has released its version 5 Release Manager product.
The firm claims to have a "unique" technology proposition on the basis of providing a tool to cover the "entire release lifecycle" by bringing smart process management and automated application deployment together in a single product.
While this is arguably very unlikely to make Serena unique and unparalleled in the market, its DevOps processes do work to control release and then integrate and coordinate release teams while looking after automated application deployments.
According to the company's Greg Sikes, while automating the deployment of releases is a necessary element of improving application delivery, Serena's customers report that standardizing the release process, automating the hand-offs amongst the teams, and getting actionable insight into the release lifecycle are key to the substantial improvement in their ability to realize business value from their application development investments.
Serena Release Manager v5 is supposed to bring a 3x increase in the throughput of deployments, a 75% reduction in defects in production, and a chance to scale three-hour product deployments down to 35 minutes so that half of the deployment team members' time is freed up for more value-added work.
Actionable Release Dashboards feature into the entire release lifecycle, from initial request through development, test, and deployment across the path to production. There are also Automated Turnovers based on standardized Runbooks to eliminate error-prone manual handoffs and deployments.

GROTON -- Want to know how to deal with difficult people?
If your problem entails customer service, you may also be interested in finding out how to come up with effective sales pitches. Or you might just decide to chill instead by picking up some meditation skills.
Whatever the need, residents can now turn to the local public library to gain the skills they want online. From accounting to team-management skills to veterinary medicine, the online continuing-education service called Universal Class offers 500 virtual courses to more than 30,000 students all over the world.
Groton Public Library has recently signed on to the service so that its patrons could access the cyber classes free. And some residents are already taking advantage of it.
The offering of Universal Class comes amid the library's ongoing efforts to transform itself as a digital information portal for its patrons.
It began providing people to download audio books several years ago and expanded its ebook collection, including renting out some e-reader gadgets, such as Kindle, to those who wanted to check out how ebook works. Patrons have also been able to download music and learn foreign languages for some time now.
Susanne Olson, librarian at the library, said libraries are no longer just a place to borrow books; they are becoming more of a community center where people come to meet others and learn. And many libraries are trying to let patrons do just that in cyber space as well.
Groton library patrons don't appear to ditch physical books for digital ones any time soon, though. Right after Universal Class started, 10 patrons took 27 different courses in November, following by nine users taking 23 classes in December. Ereaders and ebooks are popular, but that hasn't affected the circulation of physical books.
That's probably because the number of ebooks available through the library remains limited, Olson said. There are also those who prefer "old-fashioned" CD books than downloadable ebooks because that's what they are used to. But as the ebooks collection grows and Universal Class become more publicized, Olson believe more patrons will start using such services.
To take Universal Class through the Groton Public Library's website, visit www.gpl.org.

NH sees problem with 'independent contractors'By DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 22. 2013 2:41AM
CONCORD �- The state is losing millions of dollars in taxes, and workers are exposed to financial and safety risks by companies that illegally treat employees as independent contractors, according to a task force that has been studying the problem for three years.
That task force, composed of six high-level state commissioners, will soon propose legislation that would significantly enhance the ability of the state to enforce the rules on employee classification.
One measure under consideration would enable state agencies to coordinate sanctions, so that liquor licenses or motor vehicle registrations, for example, could be denied to persistent violators of the classification rules. Another proposal would authorize state agencies to issue stop-work orders and create a "debarment list," a blacklist of employers that would be barred from doing business with the state because of continued violations.
The Joint Agency Task Force on Employee Misclassification Enforcement was created by executive order of Gov. John Lynch in September 2010, and required to report annually.
The task force reports of 2011 and 2012 made broad recommendations, but did not propose specific legislation. The task force meets again on Monday, with an eye toward its September 2013 report. That report is likely to propose specific language for legislation that would have to be approved by the nine commissioners on the task force.
Then some sympathetic lawmakers would have to be found to introduce the recommendations as bills in the legislative session that starts in January, according to Martin Jenkins, legal counsel for the state Department of Labor.
"This is all out of the executive branch," he said. "Whether it ever gets to the Legislature is a whole other question."
Intense lobbying likely
The stakes are high, and the issue is likely to attract intense lobbying from business and labor interests should any of the task force proposals find their way into the legislative calendar.
Jenkins, who represents the state commissioner of labor on the task force, says after three years of deliberations, it's time for a legislative test of how far the state is willing to go in prosecuting what he described as a serious problem.
He said the task force has a consensus around coordination of sanctions and the power to issue stop work orders, and is very likely to propose legislation on those issues.
The debarment list is more controversial, although Deborah Stone, who represents the insurance commissioner on the task force, says the state already has one. "Business entities or state contractors can get onto it by violating certain aspects of labor law," she said, "but I don't think there is currently anyone on it."
Much of the task force initiative involves stepped up use of enforcement tools already available, she said, but others, like the coordination of sanctions, will require changes to state law.
"Something like a stop-work order or coordinated sanctions are extremely effective tools," she said. "They are not tools that anyone wants to actually use to keep a business from operating. We want businesses to be operating in New Hampshire, but we want them to be operating in the right way. If we found there was misclassification going on at a job site, and we can say, 'If you don't fix this you're going to lose your liquor license,' you'd be amazed how they would respond."
Widespread problem
A U.S. Department of Labor study in 2000 found that as many as 30 percent of businesses misclassified employees as independent contractors. A Government Accountability Office (GAO) update in 2009 determined that the number of misclassified workers expanded by 50 percent in the interim.
The recession definitely compounded the problem, according to Stone.
"Part of the reason this has come to the fore has been the financial and economic struggles the country and state have been going through in the last five years," she said. "Businesses were looking for everything they could do to reduce their costs and stay in business, so many more people were ending up out there as independent contractors."
The recession also led many companies to end assignments to independent contractors, who then filed unemployment claims, prompting more investigations by the Department of Employment Security.
The problem is particularly severe in the New Hampshire construction trades, according to Mark McKenzie, president of the New Hampshire AFL-CIO.
By defining workers at a site as contractors, builders can avoid paying worker's compensation insurance. That significantly lowers their costs and enables them to make lower bids on projects.
"If they don't get caught, and many times they don't, there can be a significant savings to the violator," he said. "A carpenter's workers compensation rate is at least $20 per every $100 of payroll. It is a roll of the dice for an employer who may not get caught. Everyone knows this is going on, so we're happy to see the Department of Labor in New Hampshire is really stepping up their game on this.
"It's so prevalent that the state is losing a significant amount of money, and the good guys who are trying to do the right thing are being penalized in a system that allows this to happen," McKenzie said.

Council approved project which is 90 percent funded by MoDOT, will move forward this spring
The Kirksville Regional Airport is set for take-off on several improvement projects aimed at beautifying and enhancing the facility and its grounds with the Kirksville City Council approving nearly a quarter of a million dollars in asphalt work for the entrance road Monday.
The project, comprised of four individual projects, is intended to overhaul the airport, improve its entrance road and lighting and also expand the parking lot area with 90 percent or more funded by state and federal grants.
The portion approved by the Council Monday includes about $249,000 in asphalt overlay and sealing for the entrance road and highway lighting both along the road and at its intersection with Highway 63.
The entrance road portion is 90 percent funded by Missouri Department of Transportation grant, resulting in a local obligation of about $25,000.
Originally the project had included all four portions, but was split into two sections to allow for application for federal grant dollars on the parking lot expansions and the state funds on the road portions, said City Engineer Ed Ieans.
"The end goal will be to not have parking on the grass in the lot. We'll have a nice paved area [when that portion is done] and a nice entrance road to the airport," Ieans said.
The entrance road work was bid out to W.L. Miller Co., of Kirksville and will include 1,550 tons of asphalt, crack sealing, 480 feet of electrical conduit and six light poles. Work is anticipated to start this spring and will likely take about two months.
The remainder of the airport improvements will be bid out likely later this spring, Ieans said.
Council also approved the purchase of several components for the waste water treatment plant including turbidimeters and controls from Hach Company, supporting pumps and pump drive from Cole-Parmer, Inc.; and installation of all components by TH&N Inc., for $20,552.
Public Works Director John Buckwalter explained that the turbidimeters measure the water's cloudiness and are required by drinking water regulations. The current system of meters was slated for replacement in 2012 and had been installed in 1999.

Council also approved the re-appointment of Heather Darrah to the Adair County Extension Council for a two-year term and Betty McLane-Iles and Derek Miller to the Historic Preservation Commission for three-year terms each.

Terrence Howard said Robert Downey Jr. was the reason why Don Cheadle replaced him in the "Iron Man" franchise after the first film.
"It turns out that the person that I helped become 'Iron Man,' when it was time to re-up for the second one, took the money that was supposed to go to me and pushed me out," Howard said on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live."
"We did a three-picture deal. That means you did the deal ahead of time -- a certain amount for the first one, a certain amount for the second, a certain amount for the third. They came to me with the second and said, 'Look, we will pay you one-eighth of what we contractually had for you, because we think the second one will be successful with or without you.' And I called my friend (Downey), that I helped get the first job, and he didn't call me back for three months," Howard said.
Maybe he was driving in a tunnel.
Indiewire.com says Howard has long taken credit for Downey getting the "Iron Man" role that helped turn around his career. In 2010, after "Iron Man 2" opened, Howard told E! News, "For me to have recommended him, it means all the more so that I helped someone get to where they are supposed to go. Marvel and I are now talking about doing some other things. And Don Cheadle wanted to play that ("Iron Man") part before I wanted to play it, so everything is very well."
It was not clear which Marvel project Howard was referring to; so he apparently did not land the role.

Bronson added that the children enjoyed collecting a variety of items that are used in the everyday life of a child.
During the Lent Season, which occurs during a 40 day period leading up to Easter, First United Methodist Church youth ages three years to sixth grade were collecting personal items to be given to Methodist Family Health.
"We wanted something for the kids to do that would show that they were doing something for other people," Amy Bronson, chairperson of the mission committee at First United Methodist Church, said.
Bronson added that the children enjoyed collecting a variety of items that are used in the everyday life of a child.
"The items had to be new and would be used by the children of Methodist Family Health," Bronson said.
The items consisted of socks, from infant to 18 years of age, underwear, from three to 18 years of age, twin sheets, crib sheets, diapers of all sizes, training pants like Pull-ups, baby wipes and toilet paper.
"They also accepted wireless composition books, backpacks, duffel bags and monetary donations for hygiene kits and school supplies," Bronson said.
Bronson said that the intent of the mission committee is to do this every year so the children can become actively involved with how other children live and see how they can affect other children's lives.
"The children of First United Methodist Church really enjoyed doing this project," Bronson said.. "They want to do it again."
The items will be sent to their destination this Sunday, which is the end of the Lent activity for the First United Methodist Church, Bronson said.
According to the organization's website, the Methodist Family Health provides the only comprehensive behavioral healthcare system to children and families of Arkansas through certain services and brings value to the state and the communities it serves in many ways.

White Sox - 001 000 200 - 3 8 1The Red Sox rallied immediately after Chicago had taken a 3-2 lead in the top of the seventh. With one out, Jason Varitek doubled to right center. Nick Green ran for him and scored when pinch-hitter Victor Martinez hit a first-pitch single to left center.
Red Sox - 101 000 13x - 6 11 1
In the eighth, Jason Bay homered with one out to give Boston a 4-3 lead. Then, with two outs, Green singled, Martinez doubled him home, and Jacoby Ellsbury singled Martinez in. Jonathan Papelbon had no trouble in the ninth, striking out the first two, allowing a double, then getting Gordon Beckham on an easy fly to center.
In the first inning, after doubling to right-center, Ellsbury stole third on the first pitch to Dustin Pedroia. A.J. Pierzynski bobbled the pitch and made no throw as LBJ set a new Red Sox single season record for SB with 55.
Three of Boston's six runs came with two outs, making it 33 of the last 39.
Lester (6.2-4-3-2-6, 113) pitched well -- he retired 12 in a row from the third to sixth -- and should have made it through the seventh. Although he allowed a single and walk to start the seventh, he got two outs on a bunt and a line drive to right. Lester struck out Alexie Ramirez for the third out, but the ball got past Varitek and the tying run scored from third. Then a single gave Chicago the lead.
Hideki Okajima came in and allowed a single to load the bases, but fanned Beckham for the third out. Okajima and Manny Delcarmen wiggled out of a 1st-and-3rd situation with no outs in the eighth.
The Rangers beat the Yankees 10-9 -- New York and Joba (4-9-7-3-5, 96) blew a 4-0 first-inning lead and their four-run comeback attempt in the ninth was ended on an unassisted double play -- so Boston is now 6 GB. One step at a time.
Lester hopes the big bats stay hot tonight. Actually, everyone is hoping for that.
Lester is ranked last among Boston starters in run support, getting only an average of 4.36 runs per game; every other starter is over 5.5 runs.
Garcia has made only one start this season: August 18 against the Royals (4.1-7-5-1-3, 91).
Also: Rangers (Millwood)/Yankees (Chamberlain) at 7 PM.

LONDON — The body of Princess Diana showed no physical signs of pregnancy, Robert Chapman, the pathologist who carried out her post mortem, told the inquest on Monday into the death of Princess Diana and her lover Dodi al-Fayed.
But Mr. Chapman acknowledged that while her womb and ovaries did not show any of the normal signs of pregnancy, those would not have been seen if the pregnancy was less than three weeks old.
"No, I did not," he said when asked if he had noticed any sign of pregnancy.
"If one is dealing with a pregnancy, the appearance will vary depending, of course, on the duration of that pregnancy, but an established pregnancy will show as a change in the size of the uterus, a change in the thickness of the lining and the presence of a gestation sac," he added.
Dodi's father, luxury store owner Mohamed al-Fayed, says the couple were killed by British security services in a high-speed Paris car crash in 1997 on the orders of Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth's husband and Princess Diana's former father-in-law.
He says Princess Diana was pregnant with Dodi's child.
British and French police investigations have concluded that Princess Diana and Dodi died because their chauffeur, Henri Paul, was drunk and drove too fast through a Paris road tunnel, crashing the vehicle into a pillar.
Mr. Chapman said a pregnancy of under three weeks' duration would not necessarily have been noticeable.
"I would say that from day one to seven, one could not or would not see anything. From day seven to fourteen, one might see something, although it is rather unlikely," Mr. Chapman said.
"Thereafter, there is an increasing likelihood of being able to see things which would indicate pregnancy," he added.
The inquest also heard that Princess Diana did not appear to have drunk any alcohol in the hours before her death, although tests showed that Dodi Fayed — who dined with her that night — had.
Under British law, an inquest is needed to determine the cause of death when someone dies unnaturally.
The inquest, expected to last up to six months and cost up to 10 million pounds ($20.7 million), was opened after the conclusion of major British and French police investigations.

Frequently asked questions
Charts > Other methods
- Which
house system is the best to use?
House systems are a matter of the personal taste of the Astrologer. We cannot give advice on this choice. There is no right or wrong. It's more a matter of experience with different systems.
- Can
I generate a horoscope using the sidereal zodiac?
Yes, you can. Please, choose the zodiac in the respective drop-down menu in the Extended Chart Selection. We have numerous types of sidereal zodiac.
- Could
you add a new chart technique to the extended chart
No, we do not tend to add new, specialised techniques. Astrodienst's free online service is targeted at a wide audience of lay persons interested in astrology, and at the basic needs of serious astrology students. The purpose of Astrodienst's web services is not to fulfill the needs of technically oriented specialists who are interested in very rare astrological methods.
The selection of various chart types available at Astrodienst reflect those astrological techniques which have been in use in German-speaking countries during and after 1980, and they reflect Dr. Treindl's own interest in astrological studies. He programmed the types of charts which the customers of Astrodienst's chart services requested and paid for in the 1980ies (before good astrological PC software existed), and in addition those techniques which either interested him personally, or some of his close astrological friends.
We are aware that there exist many other techniques which we do not offer. Among these are 'precession corrected' (should be called precession falsified) calculations, and converse progressions, which are not in use in central Europe. Astrodienst is not expanding its spread of technical charts at this time - we are concentrating on other services right now.
Please do not be disappointed if the general answer to such requests is a simple 'no'. Sometimes there are some hidden treasures in our rich treasure chest, which can be of use. Just take a stroll around.
There are also excellent software programs on the market which fulfill most of the technical needs an experienced astrologer may have, for example Kepler by Cosmic Patterns, and Solar Fire. We highly recommend that experienced astrologers acquire such software for their own PC. Macintosh users might want to consult the page of Kairon software for free astrological software.
- Do
you offer converse progression charts?
For 'converse' secondary progressions, use negative age with offset from your birth date. In the Extended Chart Selection, select 'progressed chart' and, if you are, for example, born in 1950 and want converse progressions for 2002, the age is 52. Using negative age, you ought to enter the year 1898 as 'start date'
Primary directions contain converse directions, as they are traditional there. Please see question 8.
- Do
you offer precession correction in transits or solar return
No we don't. Because we do not consider the method logical and consistent in itself.
Tropical astrology uses a frame of reference which moves with the rhythm of the Sun-Moon-Earth system. The technique of "precession correction" breaks this system trying to introduce a notion of "natal birth marks in absolute space". This is false on several levels:
The reference frame it introduces is not absolute, it translates and rotates with the (fast) movement of the solar system within the galaxy. A transiting planet does never return to the point in absolute space where it once was.
The concept of "return charts" and of transits altogether is - on a deeper level - a symbolic concept rather than a physical concept. It should therefore be applied in a consistent symbolic system and not in an inconsistent potpourri of systems.
If you want to get around precession, we recommend to do "sidereal" astrology with one of its unprecessed reference frames. We don't think it makes sense to mix incompatible systems.
Where do I find Antiscia?
For example, in the additional data tables for chart drawing styles 'Munich Rhythms' or 'Studer'.
- Can I set
a progressed chart to use SA (solar arcs) in Longitude
No, there is not.
In continental Europe, which is our astrological background, the method of progression is quite uniform and done the way it is implemented on astro.com.
The basic and simple rule is:
1 day in the printed ephemeris = 1 year of life
This means that the planets are progressed with their own motion in longitude on the ecliptic.
Sidereal time (ARMC) is progressed with 3m56s per day. House cusps are derived from this progessed ARMC.
However, it is possible to show solar arc progressions next to the Astrodienst secondary progressions on the outer circle of the natal chart. To do this, please go to "Free Horoscopes" -> "Extended Chart Selection" -> "Circular charts" and select the chart type "Natal, progressions and solar arc combined" or click here. The solar arc progressions will be shown in blue around the outer circle. Do not ignore the additional data tables, linked on top of the chart. There, look at page 3.
In addition, there is the Ebertin life diagram: Solar Arc and the additional data tables that come with it. It is very useful for those who want to compute events by Solar Arc.
- Do you offer
Primary Directions?
Yes, we do, in Extended Chart Selection, Special, near the bottom of the list, or here. It is important to consult the additional data tables on top of the chart.
Primary Directions are a complex subject, somewhat neglected since the second half of the 20th century.
At the bottom of the primary direction chart is a link "Special options for primary directions", which explains how different technical options can be chosen. There is currently no web-interface for these options, it has do be done via manipulation of the URL.
To add some special options for primary directions, please edit the URL in your browser window. Please insert or append the string

LONGMONT -- Linda Orozco sat in her car outside Central Elementary School on Thursday afternoon waiting to pick up her son and daughter.
A color flier of missing 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway of Westminster was taped to the back driver's side window of her car, she had a stack of fliers to hang around town, and she wore a bracelet with the missing girl's initials on it.
Orozco said she is friends with Ridgeway's aunt and the child's disappearance hits very close to home, yet she had already been picking up her 11-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son from school every day.
"Things have changed since I was younger," she said, acknowledging that sometimes her kids want a bit more freedom. "I had to explain to them that I am not being mean. I am just being protective."
School crossing guard Tim Sturgis said that in his experience at Central, Orozco's attitude is fairly common. Kids walking to school or being picked up are typically under adult supervision all the way to school grounds. Sturgis then saw a little girl standing alone and he immediately approached.
"Hey, what's going on," he asked.
"Nothing much," she replied with a smile, happy to see the 67-year-old crossing guard.
"Are you here all by yourself? Oh, there's your mom," he said, before taking a few moments to hear the girl's Halloween plans.
Sturgis said he hasn't heard parents talking about the Ridgeway case. Instead, they are always vigilant. He said sometimes parents have reported suspicious vehicles to him and he would call police to have them check out.
Danine Robertus, who was at the school Thursday to pick up her kindergartner, said that as a child in Greeley she pushed her mother to allow her to walk to school and her mother finally relented when she was in fifth grade. She said it is off the table for now for her child, but she may give in sometime down the line.
Orozco said Ridgeway's disappearance has steeled her attitude about keeping her kids very close. When she heard that an unidentified body was found Wednesday in Arvada, she was compelled to wake her children to hug them. She has used news of the case to review "stranger danger" scenarios with her son and hopes that one day her diligence will be appreciated.
"I hope one day when they get older that they see what actually triggered that and they'll be like, 'Thanks, mom,'" she said.
Longmont schools, meanwhile, are part of a walk-to-school initiative called Safe Routes to School, which offers maps and programs to encourage kids to use their own power to get to school along designated safe routes with groups and adults.
Coordinator Lauren Greenfield said she hasn't received any feedback from the community regarding heightened concerns around the Ridgeway case.
"There is always concern for the safety of the kids," she said.
The Westminster Police Department reported Thursday that investigators hope to have a positive identification of the body found Wednesday by Friday afternoon. Ridgeway has been missing since Oct. 5. She was last seen walking from her Westminster home headed to school.

Two infographics provide data and tips to explain why brands must leverage visual social media in 2013 to stay relevant and grow.
Today, the marketing world is still hot on the social media marketing trail, but the trail has diverged. There are different paths with cheerleaders along the way no matter which path a marketer follows.
Ideally, marketers should find the path down the middle that marries all of the elements of social media marketing, but most are not there yet. Many of today's marketers are still choosing a single path to focus on or jumping back and forth.
For example, those paths include the data and metrics focus, the storytelling focus, the visual focus, and more. This article hones in on the visual focus with the help of two great infographics that visually share the data and tell the story of visual storytelling…

Staff Sgt. Robert Devitto was shot Dec. 18 while duck hunting.
SANFORD, N.C. (AP) — Authorities say the hunter who died after being shot in Lee County was a Fort Bragg soldier, formerly of Fort Loudon.
The Fayetteville Observer reports (http://bit.ly/WVuj8l ) that 26-year-old Staff Sgt. Robert Devitto joined the Army in 2005 after graduating from James Buchanan High School in Mercersburg and served tours in Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Friends found Devitto on Dec. 18 with buckshot wounds to his face and chest after he didn't return home from duck hunting alone on state wildlife game lands. He died three days later. His death is being investigated as a homicide.
Devitto is survived by his wife, Jaimi Devitto, and his parents and sister who live in Shippensburg, Pa.
A service will be 4 p.m. Friday in Miller-Bowersox Funeral Home, Greencastle. Burial with full military honors will be Jan. 9 at Arlington National Cemetery.
