Missing Plate Leads to Felony DUI Charge
NEWPORT CITY – Not having a front license plate on his pickup truck left a Newport Center man facing a felony charge of driving under the influence. Dale Chaput, 42, pleaded not guilty in Orleans County Court Jan. 10, to a felony charge of third offense driving while intoxicated.Newport City Police Officer Corey Marcoux was watching traffic Dec. 24, 2011, when he saw a pickup truck without a front license plate traveling west by the intersection of East Main Street and Western Avenue. Marcoux followed the truck but, because of the traffic, didn't get directly behind it until the intersection of Main Street and Lake Road. Marcoux continue to follow the truck and reported observing the vehicle travel onto the yellow line four or five times. Near the City Farm Road, the truck crossed the yellow line into the opposing lane of traffic. Marcoux turned on his blue emergency lights and stopped the truck. Marcoux asked the driver, Chaput, if Chaput knew why Marcoux had stopped him, to which Chaput replied that he's required to have a front license plate. Marcoux said Chaput was able to immediately provide his registration and insurance card but appeared confused and looked at his insurance card for a period of time. Moments later, after Marcoux asked again, Chaput provided his operator's license. Marcoux reported that Chaput mumbled, appeared confused and had watery eyes. When asked, Chaput said that he had consumed three 12-ounce cans of beer and that be believed he started drinking three hours prior to being stopped. Chaput agreed to field sobriety exercises.Prior to Chaput exiting the vehicle, he asked Marcoux if he wanted it in park. Marcoux told Chaput the vehicle was already in park, but Chaput attempted to shift into park anyway. Marcoux also smelled intoxicants on Chaput's breath. Chaput got out of his vehicle and told Marcoux that he, Chaput, had a problem with his knees but could still do the sobriety text.At the police station, Chaput told Marcoux that he started drinking at 2 p.m., consumed three 12-ounce cans of beer and believed he had stopped drinking 45 minutes before police stopped him. Chaput also told police that he sipped the beers and didn't "slam" them. At the police station, Chaput's BAC was 0.138 percent. If convicted, Chaput faces not more than five years in prison or a fine of not more than $2,500 or both. According to court documents, at least 96 consecutive hours of sentence of imprisonment shall be served in prison and may not be suspended or deferred or served as a supervised sentence.

Children are one of our nation's most valuable resources. Today's children are tomorrow's leaders – civic, business and social. Alarmingly, approximately 13 million America children live in poverty. Studies reveal that growing up in poverty can have an adverse psychological impact on a child. One of the adverse impacts is low self-esteem – a by-product of little or no hope for the future.
Each child has a choice of two paths to the future. One path leads to a productive life as an asset to the community. The other path leads to a life of dependency on the community for support. Without outside help, the path of least resistance is too often the path to a life of dependency.
The critical social issue is the identification and pursuit of programs, which will create or raise the self-esteem of children, give them hope for the future and help steer them toward productive lives. One of the best means of dealing with these three poverty by-products is through mentoring programs. Since it is not possible for all children who live in poverty situations to have the benefit of mentoring programs, alternative means of doing the job must be pursued. Fortunately, alternative programs exist. Toys for Tots is one such alternative. It is a unique passive mentoring program that provides a ray of hope for the future.
The new toy which millions of needy children receive each Christmas from Marines, through the Toys for Tots program, delivers a message of hope. By being excellent role models and setting an example for others to emulate, Marines, through Toys for Tots, perform passive mentoring. Economically disadvantaged children who receive toys through the Toys for Tots program have an opportunity to observe first hand how young men and women, just like themselves, have achieved success. Youngsters readily recognize that Marines achieve their success through adherence to the highest standards of discipline, grooming, patriotism, physical fitness and moral character.
The fact that Marines are trained for combat and are prepared to face nearly unendurable hardships is not lost on needy children. Nor is the fact lost that these same combat trained Marines find time to be compassionate for the less fortunate members of America's society. Even more importantly, children are impressed by the willingness of Marines to work overtime to do something for them. Marines set an example for youngsters to strive to emulate.
Experts, who are knowledgeable of Toys for Tots, conclude that Toys for Tots has the potential to have the requisite positive influence on the development of needy youngsters. Concurrently, actual accounts from individuals reveal that Toys for tots has motivated youngsters to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders.
It is important to point out that U. S. Marines continually improve the Toys for Tots program. For example, from 1947 through 1979, Marine distributed new and used toys at Christmas. Since Christmas 1980, Marines have distributed only new toys. One of the principal reasons was that delivering a "hand-me-down" toys sent the wrong message. A second hand toy give a youngster the impression that he or she is a "second-class" citizen, worthy only of someone's cast-off toys. Marines want to create and enhance self-esteem and deliver a message of hope. This can only come in the form of a new toy.
If you reflect on your own life and recall what it meant to receive a toy at Christmas, you cannot help but realize the positive impact that a new toy had on your life. Concurrently, you can imagine how devastating it would have been to receive nothing while all your friends received a new toy. Many may recall when a neighbor received nothing at Christmas because his or her family was experiencing hard times. It is painful to think about the impact a Christmas without a toy had on the child and how adversely it impacted on his or her self-esteem and future. Some never recovered and ultimately never realized their potential.
Just as each needy child has a choice of two paths to the future, each American has a choice: leave the responsibility of helping needy children to someone else; or take action to enhance the development and proper steering of American's needy children. Most American adults want to make a difference. The problem is how to help, given the hectic pace of the lifestyle of the 2000's. Toys for Tots offers a simple solution for even the busiest American, because it:
Toys for Tots is the Marine Corps' premier community action program,, one of the nation's flagship charitable endeavors, and American tradition and a national treasure. For over half a century, Marines have been the unchallenged leaders in looking after needy children at Christmas. The Toys for Tots message of hope for the future has motivated youngsters to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens. Toys for Tots has earned the distinction as a program which plays an important role in helping youngsters emerge from a background of poverty to adulthood as assets to society. Toys for Tots not only benefits children, but also has a positive impact on communities, on businesses – large and small, on the Marine Corp and on the nation. Toys for Tots is one vehicle for addressing the issue of poverty among children.
According to child psychologists, mentoring is the most effective means of making a positive impact o the development of children. However, today's overtaxed mentoring projects are able to reach only a small percentage of the millions of needy children. We must, therefore, pursue alternatives to build/restore self-esteem among needy children, and give the hope for the future. Moreover, since children imitate the actions of their elders, children should be exposed to positive role models. Americans from every walk of life can join the Toys for Tots team and be an active participant in the development of our children. The challenge: be a participator, not a spectator. Do you part to assist in the development of today's children. You will be helping children, your community and your nation. Your action today will help produce productive citizens for tomorrow. Help us "make a difference".

February 12-14, 2015 in Salt Lake City
22 August 2013 – Austin, TX. The Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) announced today that its 2015 National Conference will be held February 12-14, 2015, in Salt Lake City, Utah in conjunction with RootsTech, hosted by FamilySearch. RootsTech is held each February in Salt Lake City and helps thousands of attendees from around the world discover and share family connections, stories, and history.
With the Salt Palace Convention Center as the common venue, both FamilySearch and FGS are committed to producing a one-of-a-kind genealogy event addressing the educational needs of the family history, technology and genealogical society communities. As the logistics of this sizeable event are still being worked out, both FGS and FamilySearch will work together to share resources and provide cost benefits for all parties, including attendees and exhibitors. Attendees can expect to see familiar elements of previous FGS and RootsTech events including keynote presentations, a Society Showcase and Expo Hall.
Registration for both events will begin in August 2014, six months prior to the February 2015 dates. FGS will also hold a smaller national event for its members in late 2015, with details to be announced at a later date.
FGS President D. Joshua Taylor states, "FamilySearch has been a valued partner and sponsor for FGS during its past conferences. It only makes sense for both organizations to work together and produce what will be the most talked about genealogy events of 2015." Taylor added that such an event brings the best of RootsTech and FGS conferences together under one roof and will offer genealogists and family historians a wide array of activities and educational opportunities.

Time to start shopping!
ElodeaDetails https://www.petsmart.com/fish/decor-gravel-and-substrate/live-plants/elodea-4031914.html
Available only at select locationsnot available for online purchase. please check availability at other stores.
product highlights
Sometimes called "Brazilian Waterweed," Elodea Plant can be identified by its eye-catching, light green leaves. In addition to being exceedingly easy to care for, Elodea is a very helpful pond plant in that it helps to reduce algae, clarify water and provide shade for fish. The plant can grow when floating freely or rooted in substrate.
- Aquatic
- Maximum height: 2'
- Bright or light green, linear leaves
- Tank placement: Background, middle ground
- Water temperature: 72-78° F
- Ideal for beginners
Note: Plant availability is seasonal. State and local regulations may vary. Pricing may vary by store location. PetSmart stores cannot match the price above for this item. Ask a store associate for details.
Things to remember:
Water temperature:
Aquatic plants require a tropical community aquarium with water temperatures ranging between 72-78º F (22-26º C). Use an aquarium heater to maintain water temperature.
Adding plants:
Whether you're just starting your aquarium or introducing new plants into your tank, make sure to add only one or two plants at a time.
Most tropical plants require sunlight each day, year round. The duration and consistency are essential for plants to thrive. Natural aquariums must be equipped with the means to provide 12 hours of simulated sunlight each day.
Plant fertilizer:
Fertilizer should only be added according to the dosage instructions on the label, and only when needed (as in the case of a water change). Plants will grow best if fertilized moderately and regularly after water changes rather than given larger quantities of fertilizer on a less-regular basis.
Fish and plants:
Small schooling fish are highly recommended for a natural planted aquarium; larger fish often uproot plants. The adult size and eating habitats of a fish should always be taken into consideration.
Water changes:
Test water weekly to assess water quality. It is recommended that 10% of your aquarium water be changed per week. At the very least, 25% of your aquarium water should be changed per month. For optimal health, regular water changes not only prevent the undesirable accumulation of excess nutrients, but also remove excess nitrates and waste products of the fish and plants.
Aquarium placement:
Place your aquarium in a low-traffic area, away from direct sunlight and drafts.
Planting your natural aquarium:
Foreground plants:
Usually stay very short and help fill in the front part of the aquarium.
Middle ground plants:
These plants grow anywhere form 4-10 inches tall.
Background plants:
These are the fastest-growing and tallest plants.
Things to watch for:
- Poor growth
- Brown spots on leaves
- Plants appear weak, pale green to yellow, stems have few leaves
- Plants cease to grow and die off
- Stem plants have long internodes and small leaves
If you notice any of the signs described above, check your aquarium water quality and consult an in-store Aquatics Specialist.

Editor's note: Do you need something to smile about? Every day, WND selects the best joke offered up by readers and contributors to its Laughlines forum and brings it to you as the WND Joke of the Day. Here is today's offering:
Two friends were conversing on the porch swing of a large, white pillared mansion in Miami Beach.
The first woman says, "When my first child was born, my husband built me this beautiful mansion."
The second woman says, "Fantastic."
The first woman continues, "When my second child was born, my husband bought me a brand new Cadillac."
Again, the second woman says, "Fantastic."
The first woman boasts, "When my third child was born, my husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet."
Yet again, the second woman comments, "Fantastic."
The first woman then asks her companion, "What did your husband buy for you when you had your first child?"
The 2nd woman replies, "My husband sent me to charm school."
"Charm school!" the first woman cries, "What for?"
"So instead of always responding 'Who cares,' I learned to say, 'Fantastic!'"

An HIV-Positive Gay Man Getting Married Reflects on Marriage Equality
August 13, 2013
On Aug. 9, 2013, Daniel Leyva of the Latino Commission on AIDS married his partner of 10 years, John Hatchett. Both are long-term survivors of HIV. Having seen the toll the HIV epidemic has taken on many long-term couples -- disapproving families, eviction notices, legal problems, immigration issues -- Leyva wrote a blog for the Center for Hispanic Health Equity just before getting married that detailed exactly why marriage equality is a big deal for those living with HIV.
Leyva wrote:

An immigrant's military service could be a path to legal U.S. residency, if Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., gets his way.
Undocumented immigrants would also be allowed to enlist, with legal permanent residency a reward for completing honorable service, under Denham's proposal. Like dozens of other House members, he hopes his idea can hitch a ride this week on a huge, must-pass defense bill.
"If they want to put their lives on the line to demonstrate their patriotism, we should welcome that with open arms," Denham said Wednesday.
In a common Capitol Hill practice, Denham's measure covering the military service of undocumented immigrants was one of 298 amendments proposed for the Fiscal 2014 defense authorization bill. Because the underlying defense bill will eventually become law, unlike many bills floating about Capitol Hill, it's a magnet for legislators who want to add or subtract something from a package that this year starts out at 831 pages.
Some proposals from Californians send a big message, even if they appear doomed.
Democratic Rep. John Garamendi of Walnut Grove backs an amendment that would require all U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan to end this year. On a 113-303 vote, the Republican-controlled House last year shrugged off a similar amendment authored by Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee of Berkeley.
"This is a black hole if there ever was one," Garamendi said Wednesday, referring to U.S. spending on Afghanistan security programs.
Some proposals tinker modestly, moving money from one pocket to another.
Democratic Rep. Jerry McNerney of Stockton, Calif., wants to shift $15 million out of the defense secretary's office budget and into a National Guard youth program that runs camps in San Luis Obispo and Orange Counties, among other locations.
Some proposals come blessed by powerful sponsors.
The chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, a Republican from Palmdale, Calif., wants to make "student cadet corps" eligible for National Guard assistance like that provided to the Boy Scouts. This could help the California Cadet Corps, which has run programs at Kerman High School and Tulare Union High School, among other San Joaquin Valley locations.
And some proposals, like several involving the distinct topics of immigrants and military sexual assault, take advantage of the political moment.
Denham's amendment covers those people who have been in the United States without authorization for at least two years. If they leave the armed services under other than honorable conditions, they would lose their legal permanent residence status. Hispanics account for about 25 percent of the residents in Denham's district, which covers Stanislaus and part of San Joaquin counties.
In some ways, the amendment tracks the so-called DREAM Act, which would provide legal status for those who entered the United States below the age of 16 and who complete schooling or military service. Though the legislation has never become law, President Barack Obama during the 2012 election campaign announced that the same DREAM Act population would not be deported.
Denham modified his amendment to match the Dream Act requirement that the enter the country before the age of 16
"For those that have reaped the benefits of this great country, it gives them an opportunity to give back," Denham said.
The underlying defense bill proposed several changes in military law designed to curtail sexual assault, including lifting the five-year statute of limitations on sexual assault cases. An amendment by Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier of San Mateo, Calif., would also strip sexual assault cases from the normal chain of command. Uniformed military leaders oppose the measure, as do leaders of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The $552 billion House bill includes several provisions targeting California, beyond the big money devoted to buying drones, warplanes, helicopters and other martial tools made in the state.
The legislation includes $62 million for construction of a ground operations center at Beale Air Force Base in the Sacramento Valley. It also transfers lands in Kern, Inyo and San Bernardino counties that are part of Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake into direct control of the Department of the Navy.
The House Rules Committee selects the amendments that can be offered on the House floor. Whatever passes must still survive future negotiations with the Senate.

Francois' Langurs, also known as Leaf Monkeys, are an endangered species, with as few as 800 thought to be left. The main threats to this species are habitat loss and hunting. Francois' Langurs are killed for meat, traditional medicines and black ape wine, which is believed to cure fatigue and other ailments. Habitat destruction from mining and the harvesting of wood has reduced food sources and fragmented their habitats, isolating populations.
These monkeys can now only be found from southern China to north-eastern Vietnam.
Taronga Zoo has played a key role in developing a breeding program in Australia. This program is designed to maintain a genetically healthy population of Francois' Langurs, to act as insurance against catastrophic events and vast population decline in the wild. Through displaying langurs at the Zoo, we also hope to inspire visitors to take action to help save this species from extinction.
Taronga Zoo is the first zoo to care for and breed Francois' Langurs in the region. Our goal is to successfully breed these monkeys and develop expertise in the care and reproductive management of the species.
These efforts were rewarded with the birth of a female, Elke, in March 2009. Further, after two years of hard work and planning, the program was boosted by the arrival of Bobo and Meili, a pair of Francois' Langurs from a zoo in Beijing. These langurs bring valuable new bloodlines to the group.

I'm on Day #6 of vacation, with 20 more to go.
Today, she is going to show me how she makes her German Apricot Cream Pie. I've never had it, but she says it has a sour cream topping. SOLD!
I've already made Ursula's (isn't that a cool German name-- say it, OOR-SOO-LAH) Bavarian Rohr Nudeln (try and say that one...). Everything she makes is really good.
I'm bringing her a jar of my Apricot-Pineapple jam. This is gold, ladies and gentleman. After reading several different recipes, I concocted my own recipe. I got the ratio of apricots and pineapple just right. Darn if my husband hasn't change his favorite morning toast and jam from olallieberry to my apricot-pineapple. I have to make more!
Here's how I made it-- start with fresh pineapple. Please. They aren't that expensive to buy. I let my ripen on my window sill for a day or two.
By the way, get one of these:
It's a pineapple slicer, and it will make your life a lot easier. You can find them on Amazon.com, Williams-Sonoma or Cooking.com. You just cut off the top of the pineapple, screw it in, pull out and you get sliced pineapple-- the core is in the center of the slicer. Just toss it away and you're read. Why buy canned pineapple?
I take shortcuts (except for processed foods and boxed mixes). In my food processor, I pulsed the pineapple. I wanted it chopped, but not pureed. Just a few pulses:
For the apricots, I decided I wanted the skins off-- though some recipes left them on. This is easy.
- Start a pot of water boiling
- Cut an "X" on the bottom of each apricot.
- Prepare an ice bath.
- Dunk the apricots into the boiling water for 1-2 minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon into the ice bath for a few minutes.
Take your thumbs, and on the "X" slip the skins right off. It's that easy. The pits came right out, too.
Again, in my food processor, I pulsed the apricots. I wanted 5 cups of apricots and one cup of pineapple = 6 cups total fruit. I reserved the juice from both fruits, which equals 3/4 cups.
In a big pot, I added the fruit, fruit juice, one box of fruit pectin (I used MCP low-sugar pectin) and 1 1/2 cups sugar. I allowed that to come to a boil, and then slowly added the 4 1/2 cups sugar.
I won't post pictures of how I cooked the fruit, because it's exactly how I posted how to make strawberry jam. Quickly, the fruit was brought to a rolling boil (212F). I did the plate test, to make sure it had jelled. You can click here, if you'd like to see step-by-step how to make jam.
This jam is amazing, I tell you! One bite gives you the sweet taste of apricot, with just the right amount of pineapple... it compliments the fruit, but does not overpower it. I so wanted to make apricot bars, today, but I want to wait until I have more jam. I only have 5 pints (in half pints) and I can see that these will disappear fast. I definitely plan to make turnovers with puff pastry, with these.
I had a little bit of apricots leftovers, which I cooked into a compote. Later this week, I'll post a delicious sandwich that I made with it. Trust me, it was good.
I'm going to blog about Ursula's Apricot Cream Pie ("Rahm Kuchen"). She's such a good sport, and she laughed when I said I wanted to do this.
She's one of the last of my surviving German line of relatives. I don't want anymore heirloom recipes to disappear.
Enjoying Summer,

Marin Commuters needing to cover that last mile or so from a transit stop to a job may have a new option in a few years: a public bicycle.
A public bike-share system is being analyzed by the Transportation Authority of Marin, whose board voted last week to spend $25,000 to see if sponsors can be found to help fund the project.
"It is definitely doable in steps," said Alisha Oloughlin, planning director with the Marin County Bicycle Coalition who sat on a TAM committee that looked at the plan. "The first phase would have bikes at transit hubs like the Larkspur Ferry Terminal, the Transit Center in San Rafael and downtown areas."
Under a preliminary plan, bikes would be available at the transit centers and town centers where people would pay to unlock a bike and take it to their destination. The bike would later be collected by a company and brought back to its original or another locale.
A potential pilot project would have four stations and 30 bikes between the Larkspur Ferry Terminal and Canal neighborhood in San Rafael.
If that is a successful, a first phase in Marin -- which would cost about $300,000 -- would include 12 stations and 100 bicycles. A potential 37-station, 300-bicycle bike share system in Marin County using common 3-speed or 7-speed bike share bicycles would cost about $1.2 million to put into place. Some type of public/private partnership would make the most sense in terms of funding, according to the plan.
In the region, the San Francisco Bay Area Pilot Bike-Sharing Program, expected to launch this summer, includes San Francisco, San Jose, Mountain View, Palo Alto and Redwood City. A similar program has already been established in Denver and Boulder, Colo., where success has been reported for its "B-cycle" bike-sharing program. The Boulder system charges a $55 annual fee for use.
The study on the Marin plan puts an annual fee at $70, with one-time use options as well.
Last January, the TAM Board provided $25,000 in voter approved Measure B vehicle registration fees to look at how the program might operate in Marin.
Among the goals of the program: Provide mobility options for Marin residents, workers and visitors; reduce congestion and greenhouse gas emissions; serve transit-dependent communities; complement transit service and bicycle infrastructure; promote active and healthy lifestyles; encourage economic development; and be financially sustainable.
"This is happening across the country, and given the support for bicycles here, it seems like Marin is the perfect spot to give it a shot," Oloughlin said.
If the money is found, an initial program could launch in two years, officials said.
But there are some challenges, in particular the county's hilly topography, making a system difficult to use for those who are less fit.
"We are not dense here in terms of population," said Dianne Steinhauser, executive director of TAM. "You also have to figure out a plan on how to pick up bikes when they are used, that's where it can get tricky and costly. But if we can focus on transit hubs and business parks, maybe it can work at some level. But we are being very cautious."
The bikes would likely have some type of tracking devise to monitor and gather data on trips, and to make sure they are not stolen or vandalized, officials said.
A second phase of the system in Marin calls for expansion to SMART train stations, large employers and colleges, with a third phase adding the bikes to other areas with a demand.
Fairfax Mayor and TAM board member John Reed said he'd like to see the plan incorporate tourists as a form of funding to support the program. He also said it wasn't quite clear in the study how it would serve future SMART train riders.
"We're basically looking at getting workers to and from the SMART train," Reed said. "It seemed to me in reading (the) study, that didn't really pencil out."
But Andy Peri, advocacy director for the Marin County Bicycle Coalition, said the bike project has great potential.
"We enthusiastically support this project and love the report," he said.

Mint and Strawberry Grobag! Burda #9640
Added Mar 25, 2013
by bundana
Galway, Ireland
My blog is: http://www.bundana.blogspot.co.uk
I'm a DIY Maternity gal and making lots of things for my new little girl! (Still in tummy at present!)
This pattern is the "Baby Sleeping Bag Burda Sewing Pattern No. 9640"
or a 'Grobag' as they are more fashionably called!
I love the idea of this piece of clothing, wrapped up but with room to move- whilst looking gorgeous. PLUS… they are really yummy mummy fashionable and you can be spending £45 on a top-end one… frugal thoughts enter my head and I have to out-do in quality and price!
My blog: http://www.bundana.blogspot.co.uk
I'm try to DIY all of my Maternity and a high proportion of Bambina clothing
I made the piece out of quilt-weight cotton, rather than the suggested sweater-weight knit. Instead I used a cotton interlining to make the weight and the tog of the grobag much warmer. To be honest, this looks like it's ready to eat on a summers day yet warm enough for a March snow drift!
I loved the underlap detail. No pinching necks and skin here… doesn't bear thinking about, does it?! Anyway, its a lovely detail. I used the lining fabric to get even more pink (dark pink) in there. Underlaps like this are basted onto the zipper fabric and then permanently attached when the lining is applied.

Recently, several representatives from Windows IT Pro Magazine received a briefing about the Beta 1 version of Longhorn Server, the next member of the Windows Server family, currently due in the first quarter of 2007, or about six months after Windows Vista ships in late 2006. There was just one condition for this briefing: Our non-disclosure agreement (NDA) was "permanent," which was a bit unusual. The problem, we were told, was that Longhorn Server Beta 1 included just a tiny subset of the features Microsoft was planning for the final release. The company didn't want to disappoint anyone, noting that the Beta 1 release was more of an alpha-quality build and not a true beta.
They needn't have worried. As Ward Ralston, a senior technical product manager on the Windows Server team, navigated through the increasingly impressive Longhorn Server Beta 1 feature set, my doubts about this release quickly turned to excitement. Even with this supposedly tiny subset of functionality, Longhorn Server in Beta 1 form was clearly a major functional upgrade over today's Windows Server 2003 (see my review) and R2 (see my review) products. My only concern was that I couldn't write about and likely wouldn't be able to write about it until quite some time in the future. As the briefing ended, I was disappointed to think that it would be months, probably, before I could reveal the features we discovered on that afternoon. And this is a release that will revolutionize Windows Server. It's practically begging me to write about it.
Well, flash forward to late September 2005 and the NDA has ended. With the release of Windows Server Longhorn Community Technical Preview (CTP, or build 5219), we're now free to write about the next Windows Server version. And if you're wondering what Microsoft is going to do to change Windows Server, I think you're going to be impressed.
Easing the pain
As is so often the case with new OS releases, Windows Server Longhorn seeks to answer complaints about today's Windows Server versions. Users have told Microsoft their issues, and across the board, the software giant appears to be answering those concerns. Much of the work that's going in Windows Server revolves around making things easier--things like security, patching, and deployment--or making Longhorn Server as reliable as possible. Other improvements are more wide-reaching: In response to complaints about the bloat of Windows Server, Microsoft has completely componentized, or modularized as they call it, the product. That means that you can install just the bits you need for servers with specific roles, resulting in smaller, better performing, and more easily updated systems.
So where does Longhorn Server fit in the wider scheme of things? If you accept the fact that Windows 2000 Server was a major release, arguably the most major release in the history of Windows Server, and that Windows Server 2003 was all about fit and finish, and that Windows Server 2003 R2 is a minor upgrade, then Longhorn Server would have to be a major release. Indeed, the Longhorn Server feature set rivals that of Windows 2000, without also bringing along the pain of switching to a new directory infrastructure and Group Policy. That is, even though Longhorn Server will be as big an improvement over previous versions as was Windows 2000, it will not be as difficult to deploy and migrate to.
Longhorn Server roles in a nutshell
In Windows Server 2003, Microsoft introduced an intriguing if largely ignored task-based interface that allowed administrators to configure servers for specific workloads. These workloads were organized by roles, such as File Server and Application/Web Server, and were designed for optimal security. That is, if you configured your Windows Server 2003 install as a Web server, you would typically only install those features that were necessary for the sites you were hosting, keeping the system as secure as possible. In the Windows 2000 days, by comparison, the Web server was installed by default whether you wanted it or not.
I always thought that the roles-based system employed in Windows Server 2003 was a good idea, though I still wonder to this day if most experienced admins (foolishly) skip over it because it's housed in a wizard-like application called Configure Your Server, which admittedly has a Fisher Price-like name. But hold on to your hats, wizard haters: Longhorn Server will support far more discrete workloads than its predecessors and will thus support a far wider range of configurable roles.
But Microsoft isn't just adding more roles. Instead, Longhorn Server has been rearchitected to be more modular, with a core OS component called Server Core that provides the basis for all Longhorn Server product editions. When you add roles to Server Core, you get servers that are capable Web servers, file servers, print servers, and so on, but with none of the unnecessary code that bogs down today's servers. Because of its modular design, Longhorn Server installations will only include the parts of the system that they need to perform the roles you configure. This is good for performance, but it's also critical for security and maintainability. Suddenly, roles aren't just lip service. They're integral to the system.
So what about those workloads I discussed? At this point in time, Microsoft is discussing a number of server workloads that Longhorn Server will handle, though this list could change over time: Networking, remote access, security, identity management, Terminal Services, storage (file, portal), print, email, collaboration, application/Web server, Unix integration services, database, high performance computing (HPC), software distribution, virtualization, operations management, general purpose and enterprise, medium business (Centro), and small business.
What's amazing about all this is that Microsoft has even reorganized the Windows Server development teams around these roles. So there are actual product teams for Terminal Services, print server, storage, and all the other roles. And their goals are all the same: Make Longhorn Server the best [insert role here] server it can be. "We want to make the best storage server, the best Terminal Services server, and so on," Ralston told us.
Longhorn Server fundamentals
A few years back, Microsoft halted development of Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP in order to complete a massive security code review as part of its Trustworthy Computing initiative in which the company examined every single line of code in its current OS products to look for common security mistakes. Since then, Microsoft has undergone a security overhaul the likes of which our industry has never seen. Indeed, though one can make great arguments about the quality of Windows requiring such an overhaul, it's equally true that no other OS vendors have made the ongoing and never-ending security investments that Microsoft has. The results can be seen in products such as Windows Server 2003, which has performed admirably, from a security standpoint, against traditional Unix and Linux competitors.
It should come as no surprise, then, that Microsoft intends for Longhorn Server to be its more secure Windows Server version ever. "It all starts with security," Ralston said. "During every phase of the development effort, we do threat modeling, extensive reviews, and thorough testing. At the end of the day, we can hold our heads high, knowing we did the best security job." Ralston noted that all of the security improvements that first appeared during the Trustworthy Computing initiative are still present and improved in Longhorn Server.
There are number of new security features in Longhorn Server. The first, Secure Install, prevents a server from being compromised during previously vulnerable stages. A second new security feature (also found in Windows Vista) called Secure Startup prevents network connections until the security subsystem is activated. Secure Startup (codenamed Cornerstone) requires server hardware that includes the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 chipset. This is part of the technology, previously codenamed Palladium, which was going to revolutionize Windows security in the Longhorn time frame, and maybe it still will someday. However, Microsoft is now taking a slower path to hardware-based security features. In Windows Vista and Longhorn Server, Secure Startup is one of only two pieces of Palladium left.
The second TPM feature is Full Volume Encryption (FVE). This feature, based on the Encrypting File System (EFS) that debuted in Windows 2000, encrypts the entire hard drive and prevents someone from physically stealing a server and then accessing the hard drive by installing it in another system. "The drive is useless by itself," Ralston said. "It's a great feature for branch offices [where physical security is often less impressive than in typical data centers]." To access data on an encrypted drive in the event of a system failure, you'll need the drive's encryption password. And yes, if you forget the password, the data is gone forever. Microsoft says this is a fair trade-off, and they're likely right. So secure those passwords.
Thanks to its newly modularized architecture, Longhorn Server, like Windows Vista, will be much easier to service and manage. Consider the first install experience for a typical administrator: All of the deployment methodologies you used before in Windows Server 2003 will still work, but new admins performing interactive installs will be presented with a much simpler install. All you really need to install Longhorn Server is a product key, which unlocks what is essentially a Server Core install. Once the system is installed, it boots into an Initial Configuration Tasks screen, which lets you specify options such as the administrator password (required), networking configuration, computer name and domain, time zone, regional and language settings, and Product Activation. You can also download and install any product updates, configure Automatic Updates, and customize the server with server roles. If you choose the latter option, you'll be presented with a series of Longhorn Server roles, including Certificate Services, DHCP, Directory (AD), DNS, Fax, File, Media, RADIUS/IAS, Remote Access (VPN Server), Terminal Server (Application Server), Terminal Server Proxy, Terminal Server Session Proxy, Web, and Windows Deployment Services (Figure). Note that all of these roles are suddenly much friendlier, with plain English names.
This last step, which we can think of as the logical successor to Configure Your Server, will likely be called Roles Management Tool (RMT), a name that is decidedly less friendly than Configure Your Server and thus will likely be less threatening to experienced, wizard-adverse admins. "The roles configuration in Longhorn Server will leverage the security technologies we introduced in previous Windows Server updates," Ralston said. "At the time that a role is unlocked, the configuration of that role is in tandem with security so that everything else is locked down." The end result: A highly useable server that is as secure as it can be.
So what else is new in manageability? Here's a shocker: The event logs in Longhorn Server have been completely replaced by new XML-based logs with a new application programming interface (API) set that will make it much, much easier for third party developers to plug into events and notifications. "Any management tool can now go in and look at the logs, subscribe to events, and aggregate them however they wish," Ralston noted. "The new event logs are completely open. You can bubble up system health much more easily, giving you access to server-wide health information. And we're shipping new diagnostics consoles for accurately diagnosing OS problems." These capabilities are proactive as well: You can be warned when a drive is about to fail or a volume is reaching a percent percentage of its capacity or quotas.
Software updating, or patching, is obviously a big concern. In Longhorn Server, the technologies behind Windows Server Update Services (WSUS, formerly Software Update Services or SUS) is being integrated directly into the system and renamed, yet again, to Windows Deployment Services. But software updates will be easier than ever thanks to Longhorn Server's modular architecture. That means that international businesses won't have to deploy mind-boggling numbers of similar patches: Instead, most patches will simply work world-wide, in almost all locales.
For core server tasks such as file server, print server, Web server, and Terminal Services, Microsoft is promising performance and scalability that exceeds that of Windows Server 2003 with SP1 (itself a better performer than the initial Windows Server 2003 version) on the same hardware. While I haven't been able to evaluate that claim yet, it's pretty clear that the biggest performance gains to be had with Longhorn Server are on the x64 platform, which offers far great memory and scalability opportunities than does the aging 32-bit x86 platform. "Longhorn Server is being built on both 64-bit and 32-bit platforms," Ralston said. "But we expect to see x64 take off with Longhorn Server."
While today's Windows Server x64 editions are largely limited to 1 TB of RAM, that is an artificial limitation based on the specification of real-world servers. "8 TB of RAM is absolutely possible," Ralston added. Longhorn Server will also be optimized for the virtualization hardware platforms of the near future, which will eventually enable Microsoft to bring its Virtual Server technologies down from the applications area and into the core OS. And in Longhorn Server, the NTFS file system (and Registry) are being upgraded--finally--to support transactions. That's right: NTFS will be transactional in Longhorn Server, letting you rollback file operations or gracefully back out of error conditions. Developers cheered that last bit when Jim Allchin announced it at PDC 2005, as well they should. That's incredible new functionality.
Part 2 coming soon!

KTM has won the last 13 runnings of The Dakar, and to get that thirteenth win for 2014, the Austrians went back to the drawing board, designing and building an all-new 450cc rally racer.
With the previous KTM 450 Rally being essentially the 690cc machine, with a 450cc motor wedged into it, the 2014 KTM 450 Rally race bike was able to make great strides over its venerable, though compromised, predecessor.
The proof in the pudding was Marc Coma claiming his fourth Dakar win, and soldifying KTM's position against an increasingly more competitive field, which sees both Honda and Yamaha elevating their game.
With the factory team signing off on the design, the Austrians are is now making the KTM 450 Rally available to privateers, with the KTM 450 Rally Production Racer now available for purchase.

DENVER (AP) — Even the San Diego Chargers are saying it: the Denver Broncos are playing solitaire in the AFC West now.
"We can't hang our hat on Denver doing anything from a collapsing standpoint," quarterback Philip Rivers said after the Chargers' 30-23 loss Sunday dropped them three games behind the Broncos, who essentially own a four-game cushion by virtue of their season sweep of San Diego.
"They're not losing four out of six, I can guarantee you that."
The Broncos (7-3) have long made a habit of blowing big division leads in November and December, but none of those teams had the dynamite duo of Von Miller and Peyton Manning.
"They've got a great team," Chargers safety Eric Weddle said. "Defense is playing great, you've got edge rushers, you don't have to blitz much, just play coverage. And you've got one of the best quarterbacks in the game playing at a high level. In fact, they're all playing well."
Miller dumped Rivers three times Sunday, forcing two fumbles and taking over the NFL sacks lead with 13, and Manning set a franchise single-season record with his sixth three-TD game.
Denver's fifth straight game with at least 30 points — 20 of which came off turnovers — also set a franchise mark. So, nobody in the Chargers locker room is counting on a repeat of 2008, when they caught the Broncos, who blew a three-game lead with three games to go.
"Of course not," Weddle said. "I'm not stupid."
There's always the wild card race, though.
"It's not like any teams are running away with it," Weddle said.
First, the Chargers, owners of just one win since September, will have to figure out how to fix a long list of problems on offense, defense and special teams — they had a punt blocked for the second straight week — and it doesn't get any easier with the Baltimore Ravens up next.
"At this point, I imagine we probably have to win out to even have an opportunity to get a playoff berth," tight end Antonio Gates said. "So, this week is critical. It's going to definitely show the character of our team. The guys in this locker room understand we basically backed ourselves against the wall again."
Rivers spent the day picking himself up off the grass. It didn't help matters that two of his offensive line starters were out with injuries in the first half.
"This definitely is as good of a defense as they've had since I've been here," Rivers said. "That may be too broad a statement because they've had some good defenses, but you remember most what you just dealt with."
And he'd just finishing dealing with Miller and Elvis Dumervil, who dumped him on the final play of the game, and even linebacker D.J. Williams, who had four tackles in his 2012 debut after serving two NFL suspensions totaling nine games.
Gates has spent a decade facing Denver's defense and this one ranks at the very top, he said. "Very disruptive," he said. "They're difficult to handle."
Especially Miller, the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year last season and league leader in tackles for loss even though he's dropping into coverage and playing linebacker more than he's rushing the passer.
"The majority of the time, he was trying to get his hands on me and disrupt my timing in the passing game," said Gates, who was held to 17 yards on two catches.
Although the final score shows this was a close game, it wasn't. The Broncos built a 24-9 lead, held San Diego to 3 of 16 on third downs, allowed just two first downs before halftime and forced 10 punts, three fumbles and a pair of interceptions.
"You can't play one half of football on offense, you can't get a punt blocked, you can't have blown coverages for a touchdown," Weddle said. "That's just not good football. Like I said, until we play well in all three phases, we're not going to win."
A three-play sequence in the third quarter showed just what kind of day it was for both teams.
Miller sacked Rivers for a 14-yard loss on third down. Nate Irving blocked Mike Scifres' punt at the Chargers 31. Seven seconds later, Brandon Stokley caught Manning's touchdown toss and just like that, it was 17-7.
"That was rough," Rivers said. "Those are game-changing plays and they made the game-changing plays. There's no consolation. The only objective is to win. But the only thing you can never question from our group is we're not ever going to quit. There's no lack of effort and we fight like crazy to the end. We'll continue to do that for the rest of the year."
And if coach Norv Turner's job is in jeopardy, his players definitely have his back.
"Fortunately we still have the right guys in this locker room and we have the right coaching staff that can get it done," Gates said.

Most of the available photographic history of the High Line comes from the images we've been able to accumulate over the years through research and help from interested parties. Though there aren't many, these images serve as an incredible visual link to the High Line's storied past. Every new photograph provides deeper insight into the High Line's nascent days and its time spent as the "lifeline of New York."
Needless to say, when we were sent a link to these images by historian Matt Postal, we were thrilled- just try to contain your sepia-toned excitement as you browse through these photographs! They focus mainly on the Macy's Warehouse, which was located on the Northeast corner of 11th Avenue and 35th Street from 1922 until it was demolished to make way for the plaza across from the Jacob Javits center. You can see the High Line at the rail yards in many of the images, likely taken sometime in the mid to late 1930s, and scroll down for some images of the High Line under construction the first time around. Surrounded by trains, cars, construction, horse-drawn carriages and children, it's easy to imagine the need to get trains off street level. It's harder to imagine a Hershey's warehouse in midtown and fishing in the Hudson.

Is it permissible to pray the Isha prayer just before we go to sleep, instead of the appointed time? Show evidence please.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Verily, As-Salaah (the prayer) is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours"
[al-Nisa' 4:103]
We have already explained the times of prayer in detail in question no. 9940.
Prayer offered before its time is not valid, according to the consensus of the Muslims. If a person offers a prayer before its time:
- if he does that deliberately, then the prayer is invalid and he is not free of sin.
- If that was not done deliberately, and he did it because he thought that the time for prayer had begun, then it is not a sin, and his prayer is regarded as naafil, but he has to repeat it because one of the conditions of the prayer is that it be done at the right time.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Uthaymeen, in al-Sharh al-Mumti', 2/88.

Analyze this! Mean Median Mode and Range
Lesson 4 of 23
Objective: The students will be able to understand how to calculate the measures of central tendency and be able to use it to describe the data.
Big Idea: Finding measures of central tendency will be applied to the different graphs throughout this unit
Understanding Mean
You can use counter chips to find a single number to describe the data set.
First, use counters to make stacks that match the data (power point)
Next, have the students move the counter chips so that all stacks are the same height.
Finally, all the stacks have 4 counter chips. The set of data can be described by the number of counter chips (4). This is called the mean or the average.
Show the students the next table and have them find the mean in the same way. Have the students discuss their results with their tablemates.
Think and discuss
- Suppose one person surveyed had 8 brothers and sisters. How would this affect the mean?
- All of the students in class have 3 pets. What is the mean of this data set? How do you know?
Tools: counter chips or other stackable item

The middle part of this lesson is dealing with the vocabulary and calculating the measures of central tendency. The focus on the vocabulary is to not only get the students to be able to calculate the measures of central tendency but to also know which measure of center would be best to use when given different data sets. Allow the students to complete the vocabulary notes in their charts before beginning the whole group discussion. I like to sing them a song that helps them to remember which measure of center measures what. Once the students are done with the vocabulary, give them some time to "quiz" each other over their meanings. It would be best to use the game like catch phrase to help with internalizing the meaning of the words. For example, students wouldn't just read the definition to the partner. They could act it out, use gestures or use their own words to get their partner to say the correct word. The students then would switch roles. (10 minutes). Bring students back and start working on calculating mean, median, mode and range.
The power point is set up so that there is one problem to do together and the other for them to work on independently. The actual problems were used to represent real life situations. As students work on the problems independently, I would have them share with a table mate to discuss their strategy and justify their answer (MP6)(MP3)
Next, to allow students to practice their new knowledge, have them work together in a group called show down.
- Each group gets a stack of cards
- One person is the show down captain. (the showdown captain turns over the card and calls "show down" when all group members have completed the problem.)
- Each person in the group works on the problem independently. They can turn their boards over to show they are ready to move on.
- Once everyone in the group is done, the captain calls "show down" and all team members turn their boards over to reveal their answers.
- Group members look over each other's answers, discuss, and congratulate when all have the correct/same answer.
- The team captain job rotates and the process starts over again.
During this time the teacher's role changes from teacher to facilitator. This activity allows the teacher to move around to the different groups to assess understanding of the concepts learned.
Bring the group back for closure.
Tools: white boards and markers

Have students reflect on their learning in their journal or out loud. Today we learned how to calculate the mean, median, mode and range of a set of data. We also looked at outliers and how they affect our data set.
How is the range affected by an outlier? Give an example to justify your answer
Give a data set that has the same mean, median and mode?
I chose these two questions to extend their learning for the day. Today they have been working the calculations (naked math)but the goal is to get them to think about numerical data sets and all of its values and how it varies by changing the numbers.

As soon as the query contains at least minWordSizefor2Typos characters, the engine will allow up to two typos in matches.minWordSizefor2Typos
nike air force one supreme shop
(default: true)
This setting can have 4 different values:
true : activate typo-tolerance
false : disable typo-tolerancefalse
min : keep only results with the lowest number of typos. For example, if the smallest number of typos found is 0, then no results with typos at all will be returned. If the smallest number of typos found is 2, then no results with more than 2 typos will be returned.
strict : same as min, but + 1, meaning, keep the 2 smallest number of typos.strict
Typos are counted per-word . In the case of multi-word queries, it's possible for each query word to have up to 2 typos, according to minWordSizefor1Typo and minWordSizefor2Typo .per-word minWordSizefor2Typo
When typoTolerance is set to strict, we force the Typo criterion to be first in the ranking formula.typoTolerance
When using a sort-by attribute, we recommend setting typo-tolerance to min to reduce the number of potentially irrelevant search results.sort-by
By default, Algolia does not consider singulars and plurals as matches. You can override this default behaviour by setting
nike air max 90 hyperfuse wine/crimson shopstyle EagANQ5eMH
to true.
If activated, this feature is designed to match words written in the plural form if the query is in the singular form, and vice-versa. It's built on a dictionary of singular and plural forms of words in over eighty languages. It works for simple plurals like
hand ⇄ hands
as well as more complex ones like
feet ⇄ foot
This parameter accepts a boolean or array value. We recommend passing an array of the specific ISO codes of languages you target. For example:
