The whole family was stranded at the Dulles Airport over the holiday, waiting for our delayed plane to arrive. Leo was running all over an empty gate area jumping on chairs pretending to be a superhero and Lucy was making the sign for "more" and digging through my giant purse for food so we decided to sit down and have some dinner. The only place to sit down with the kids to eat that was still open was a "French bistro."
Eating out can be tricky now that we are vegetarians. Lenny and I looked over the menu and the only things we could eat were a side of fries and a beet salad. Who wants to eat a beet salad in an airport? Right? While munching on french fries, Lenny kept looking at the menu. He said being a vegetarian hasn't been hard for him so far (only a few months), but right now he really wanted a french dip. Because, what super-authentic french bistro in an airport doesn't have a french dip, right?
I took this as a personal challenge. The night after we got back I made french dips. They were not only vegetarian… they were vegan. Not only were they good… they were great.
I posted a photo on Instagram and so many people asked me for the recipe that I actually made them again and wrote down what I put in them.
Here's the thing about this recipe, it's kind of an all-afternoon kind of thing. If you want to skip the gruyere spread and use veganaise or some other kind of cheese- go for it! If you don't have time for the au jus maybe experiment with mushroom both or vegetarian "beef' bullion cubes. I even heard that lipton french onion soup mix is vegan… it's not exactly clean eating but it's probably better for you than your average airport french dip right?
Anyways, if you are going to do it all, make the au jus and the "gruyere" way ahead of your mushrooms… you'll thank me later. I made some errors both times I made these, mainly, using pans that were too small for both the stock and the mushrooms. What a mess! But they were so worth it!
2-3 types of dried mushrooms (think they were 1 oz boxes) I used porcini and and shiitake
1 bunch of celery
1 bundle of parsley or greens (I used carrot tops)
2 shallots
1/2 a white onion
teaspoon of peppercorns
vegetarian chicken boullion cubes (I used Edward & Son's Not-Chick'n)
vegan Worcestershire sauce (Annie's brand)
liquid aminos (or soy)
salt to taste
2-3 tablespoons earth balance butter
Place the mushrooms, peppercorns and all of the veggies in a large stockpot and cover with 10 cups of water. Cook over high heat until the stock begins to boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Strain the stock and return to the pot and continue to reduce until you only have about 2 1/2 cups of stock left. Season with salt. Here is were you decide if the stock will be rich enough for a dip. I ended up adding one chicken bouillon cube to my stock at this point. When it was time to serve I added a few drops of liquid aminos, vegan Worcestershire sauce and a dollop of Earth balance butter to each ramekin.
3/4 cup of cashews soaked in water for at least two hours, preferably overnight, drained
1 tablespoon of white miso
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
two cloves on garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons white wine (I used sauvignon blanc)
1-3 tablespoons of water
Place all of the ingredients, except for the water in your blender and blend on high. Add water, one tablespoon at a time until the mixture is smooth and creamy and has a hummus-like thickness.
1/2 of one large white onion thinly sliced
3 springs of thyme- leaves only
5 large portobello mushrooms- thinly sliced
olive oil
salt and pepper
Red wine
One french baguette
Cook onions in large skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat, stir regularly. Add thyme and mushrooms once the onions have started to caramelize. Keep and eye on your mushrooms, until they start to release liquid they could burn easily if crowded in the pan (I know you're not supposed to crowd mushrooms but who has a pan big enough to hold 6 portobellos without crowding them a little!). Add more oil if this is a problem, I added 2-3 more tablespoons when making mine. Sauté until the mix is dry and add red wine and finish on high heat for 1 minute. Season with salt and generous amounts of salt and pepper.
If you've made your au jus ahead of time put it back on the stove and warm it to almost a boil. Ready four ramekins for dipping. This is where I placed a little vegan Worcestershire sauce, liquid aminos and earth balance butter in the ramekins.
Heat your oven to 400. Slice the baguette in to 4 equal pieces, then slice lengthwise to create four buns and place on a large baking sheet. Generously spread the buns with the gruyere spread. With your oven rack in it's highest position put your bread in and turn the oven to broil. The bread should be warm and brown in about 2 minutes- check it constantly so it doesn't burn… you know your broiler better than I do.
When your bread is done, divide the filling between the the four buns. Put a pretty toothpick in it if you have one.
Eat your sandwich! Dip it! Are you exhausted? You've earned it.
Sorry for the terrible photos- they were all taken when it was dark in my kitchen! I promise to do better next time!

The British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace set out for the Amazon in 1848 to collect natural history specimens. During his time there, he spent almost two years travelling up the Rio Negro, a region few Europeans had explored. A fire on the return journey to England destroyed most of his collections but among the possessions rescued were sketches of fish, later presented to The Natural History Museum. This book is a fascinating account of Wallace's expedition describing the naturalist in the making, the tragic loss of his collections and how this affected his future. Throughout the book the role of chance in the making of naturalists and the course of science in general is explored. The work is richly illustrated with the fish sketches, palm drawings and scenes of life in the Amazon.

Castres edge out brave Quins
Castres 24-18 Harlequins
Harlequins pushed Castres all the way but finally succumbed as their hopes of reaching the Heineken Cup quarter-finals faded at the Stade Pierre-Antoine.
Mike Slemen got Harlequins off to a good start with a penalty in the first minute.
But Castres centre Eric Artiguste powered his way across the line just outside the 22, and Romaine Teulet converted to put the home side ahead.
After a 40-yard surge from Steve White-Cooper, Slemen neatly chipped the ball into the right-hand corner and Keith Wood picked up the bouncing ball two yards out and ran over.
Slemen added a superb 42-yard angled penalty after 15 minutes to extend the visitors' lead and for the remainder of the half Harlequins looked very comfortable at 11-7 ahead.
But two minutes before the break, Olivier Sarramea chased a neat grubber kick from Raphael Ibanez and won the race to the loose ball to score, with Teulet's conversion putting the home team in front again.
In the second half Quins fell further behind to a Romain Teulet penalty after 49 minutes when Will Greenwood conceded a needless penalty.
A minute later, Castres full-back Ugo Mola took advantage of a turnover under the Quins posts and Teulet again converted.
Harlequins nearly scored four minutes later after centre Nick Greenstock's pass gave Matt Moore a chance.
They had more success later when the ball was spread from a line-out to Moore.
His inside pass allowed centre Greenwood in for a try and Slemen's conversion set up an exciting finish.
Ben Gollings and Slemen both had chances to add to Quin's tally in an end-to-end finale but Castres held out for victory.
Castres: Mola, Longstaff, Artiguste, Berryman, Sarramea, Teulet, Albouy, Toussaint, Ibanez, Moyle, Dourdet, Spanghero, Costes, Lassissi, Taussac. Replacements: R. Vigneaux, Tsabadze, Laluque, Froment, Gargallo, Delmotte, Caussade.
Harlequins: O'Neill, Moore, Greenwood, Greenstock, Luger, D Slemen, M Powell, Starr, Wood, Leonard, Morgan, Davison, White-Cooper, Sanderson, Winters. Replacements: Fuga, Douglas, Tamarua, Diprose, Bemand, Burrows, Gollings.

One dramatic change influenced my outlook on life forever. There are things in this world you never think could happen to you, but they can, and they do.
June 15th of 2007 was the last day of school of my junior year of high school. I had a job interview at Jamba Juice. I was feeling anxious and excited for summer. It was a relaxing, sunny day.
My job interview went great and I left with a job. I walked to my car with a smile on my face. Everything seemed to be perfect, until I got a phone call. It was my dad. He spoke as if he had been crying; he was still choking on his words. I remember him just saying, "You need to come home now." My heart skipped a beat or two; something was wrong. I kept running all the things that could have been wrong through my mind over and over again.
I pulled into the driveway and ran into the house. I saw my brother standing in the living room with a blank look on his face. I then saw my dad standing a few feet away with tears in his eyes and my mom sitting on the couch just the same. After an awkward silence, I found out my grandfather's plane might have crashed that morning.
Sterile silence filled the room as we waited for a phone call. Then it became official. The night before my grandparents had spent the night. They were scheduled to fly my younger cousin, Benjamin, to Space camp. I remember Grandpa half-hugging me and patting my back as they were leaving. I stopped to give him a full, real hug instead. I felt I needed one.
It was said that the crash could have been due to the wrong kind of gas when it fueled before they took off. I know my grandpa did everything he could have possibly done, trying to keep that plane in the air. He was built to be a pilot.
I never realized the finality of death until I witnessed it. It did not feel real; it still does not. It seemed like that sort of thing would never happen to me, or my family. That was the sort of thing that happened on the news. This event changed and shaped the way I am and the way I think. I cherish everything I have so much more. I do not do anything differently, I just appreciate the things I do and the one's I do them with differently. It proved how wonderful and fragile life is by showing me how final death is, how someone's life can disappear so fast.
I believe that everyone needs to live every day doing the things they love. My grandpa loved flying his plane. Benj loved outer space; Grandma loved being with the ones she loved. Unfortunate accidents do happen, and I now realize that things like that do happen to people like me.

Heroin is an opiate drug that is synthesized from morphine, a naturally occurring substance extracted from the seed pod of the Asian opium poppy plant. Heroin usually appears as a white or brown powder or as a black sticky substance, known as "black tar heroin."
About Heroin
Heroin can be injected, snorted/sniffed, or smoked — routes of administration that rapidly deliver the drug to the brain. Injecting is the use of a needle to administer the drug directly into the bloodstream. Snorting is the process of inhaling heroin powder through the nose, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream through the nasal tissues. Smoking involves inhaling heroin smoke into the lungs. All three methods of administering heroin can lead to addiction and other severe health problems.
For an effective treatment experience, individuals addicted to heroin must first eliminate the substance from their bodies through medically monitored detox. Once they are stabilized and beginning to heal from the physical effects of the drug, they are better prepared to enter the next phase of treatment and start addressing the psychological, situational and emotional issues behind addiction.
Risks of Heroin Abuse
One of the most harmful, lasting effects of heroin use is addiction. Heroin produces profound degrees of tolerance and physical dependence, which are also powerful motivators of compulsive use and abuse. As with abusers of any addictive drug, heroin users gradually spend more and more time and energy getting and using heroin.
Other risks of heroin use include:
- Physical dependence – Physical dependence develops with continued use or higher doses of the drug. The body adapts to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms occur if use is reduced abruptly.
- Heroin withdrawal symptoms – Depending on the level of physical dependence on heroin, withdrawal symptoms that occur when it leaves the individual's system can range from uncomfortable to extremely painful and life-threatening.
- Diseases – Heroin addiction poses special problems because of the potential transmission of HIV, viral hepatitis and other diseases through sharing needles or other injection equipment.
- Overdose – Because heroin users often do not know the actual strength of the drug or its true contents, they are at high risk of overdose or death. Additionally, those with substance use disorders tend to "push the limits," taking more and more of a drug to get a stronger high.
- Chronic medical complications – Prolonged heroin use can result in scarred and/or collapsed veins, bacterial infections of the blood vessels and heart valves, abscesses (boils) and other soft-tissue infections, liver or kidney disease, lung complications (including various types of pneumonia and tuberculosis), and immune reactions to contaminants contributing to arthritis or other rheumatologic problems.
Heroin Withdrawal Symptoms
Heroin withdrawal symptoms can be life-threatening. Detox should take place in a medically monitored detox setting where pain is eased with evidence-based medications and any emergency situations are attended to immediately. Major heroin withdrawal symptoms typically peak between 24 and 48 hours after the last dose of heroin and subside after about a week. However, some people have shown persistent withdrawal signs for many months.
Heroin withdrawal symptoms may include:
- Intense cravings
- Restlessness
- Muscle and bone pain
- Insomnia
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Cold flashes
- Chills
- Fever
- Anxiety
- Abdominal cramps
- Hallucinations

was based on a play by Bartlett Cormack, first filmed as a silent in 1928. The storyline was updated to include references to Estes Kefauver's Senate Crime Investigating Committee: otherwise, the plot (and much of the dialogue) was lifted bodily from the Cormack play. Racketeer Robert Ryan has managed to get several government and law-enforcement higher-ups in his pocket. But Ryan can't touch the incorruptible police officer Robert Mitchum, who refuses all attempts at bribery. Ryan pulls strings to get Mitchum transferred to a series of undesirable precincts, but Mitchum will not be dissuaded. The battle of wills between cop and criminal comes to a head when mob-connected nightclub singer Lizabeth Scott turns on her former protector Ryan. The Broadway version of starred Edward G. Robinson as the racketeer; the 1928 film version featured Louis Wolheim in the Robinson role and Thomas Meighan as the upright cop. Both the silent and sound versions of the property were personally produced by Howard R. Hughes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Ariad Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ARIA) is the biotech of the week on the Fool's weekly biotech-focused show, Biotech Banter.
Shares of the biotech have been on a bit of a roller coaster over the last year as investors went from having high hopes for Ariad Pharmaceutical's leukemia drug Iclusig to seeing the drug getting pulled from the market because the drug is linked to blood clots. After returning to the market, Ariad's shares have more than doubled off their lows, but are still well off of where they were when investors thought Iclusig could compete with Novartis' (NYSE:NVS) Gleevec and Bristol-Myers Squibb's (NYSE:BMY) Sprycel as first-line treatments.
For now Iclusig is stuck as a treatment of last resort, mostly used on patients that can't take or have failed Novartis' and Bristol-Myers Squibb's drugs, but there's potential to increase sales if Ariad Pharmaceuticals can show that the risk-benefit profile is better at lower doses. Blood thinners might also help lower the risk of blood clots.
As senior biotech specialist Brian Orelli and health-care analyst David Williamson discuss in the video below, there's also potential for the drug to work in patients with solid tumors who might not have to take the drug for as long.

It's probably just your period being weird,After my daughter was born I had what I thought was a period but it lasted 3 days ended and then started up 2 weeks later,But you can take a pregnacy test. I found out I was preggo when my daughter was 3 months, So it is possible to be pregnant.
I wouldn't worry. Your hormones are still crazy, so it's normal to have a weird period.

In Case You Missed It The First Time...
Gay Sex in the 70s is a stunning visual document of New York during the decade of gay liberation and sexual abandon following Stonewall and before the outbreak of AIDS. Gay men cruised the streets, frequented gay bars, and, of course, had loads and loads of sex everywhere. But only 12 years after Stonewall, AIDS brought this unprecedented era of sexual Freedom to a close.
Lovett expertly mixes archival footage and interviews with those who lived through the times, including author/activist Larry Kramer, photographer Tom Bianchi, and the former business manager of the St. Marks Baths. From Greenwich Village to the Fire Island Pines, Gay Sex in the 70s celebrates a city and an era with the unbridled joy that characterized the decade, while at the same time offering a sobering reminder of the AIDS crisis that followed.
"If any of you young pups consider yourselves sluts, you have no idea"
— Genre
Gay Sex in the 70s pays a steamy visit to the sexually charged period post-Stonewall, pre-AIDS when gay men experienced an unprecedented sexual freedom.
"Incisive…Evokes a rich sense of the dawning of gay liberation."
— LA Times
"Sex, brotherhood and proud debauchery."

It's the new year and I have resolved to eat healthy – again – for about the 100th year in a row. Anyone else with me on this? Granted, I don't eat terribly but I'm not as consistent as I'd like to be. But some meals make eating a healthy diet much easier. For example, I saw a video for Honey Balsamic Chicken on Facebook and a couple of days later this pin for the recipe by TipHero (inspired by Chungah of Damn Delicious) popped up on my Pinterest feed, too. They do seem to copy her recipes quite a bit, so if you're not following Damn Delicious yet you just might want to.
I really like the idea of a whole meal made on one sheet pan in the oven. (Hooray for fewer dishes!) I also like that the recipes used a variety of vegetables.
It's worth noting that there were a few slight differences in the two recipes.
- The TipHero recipe uses green beans while the Damn Delicious recipe uses asparagus. We love asparagus in our home, so that's what we went with.
- The honey balsamic marinade recipes had a few differences. TipHero's used thyme, rosemary, and chili flakes while the Damn Delicious recipe used Dijon mustard, oregano, and basil.
- Chungah's recipe also took less time to make – a big plus in my book.
- The TipHero recipe pours the marinade over the chicken and veggies prior to roasting; Damn Delicious didn't. I went with TipHero on this step. More flavor is more better. (I beg forgiveness from the grammar police for that.)
The Pintesting:
I didn't get a photo of all of the ingredients this time. What can I say? I was hungry. Fortunately, there aren't a lot of ingredients.
The first thing that I did was to make the marinade. I used a short-cut here and just dumped all of the marinade ingredients into the bag that the chicken came in and squished it until it was mixed, tossing the chicken in the marinade at the same time. Since my chicken breasts were still somewhat frozen I thought I'd let it defrost and soak up the flavor all at once. Also, since it's just my HH and me I only used one whole chicken breast (two halves). This worked for us since the chicken breasts are very large and we like lots of veggies.
While the chicken defrosted, I lined the pan with parchment and prepped the vegetables.
Quarter the potatoes then add the tomatoes. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and season with salt and pepper.
Put the chicken on the pan and drizzle the remaining marinade on the veggies.
Roast for about 20 minutes then add the asparagus (I drizzled the asparagus with a little more extra virgin olive oil), then roast it for another 10 minutes. This was my timing compromise between the two recipes.
You don't want to eat undercooked chicken! When in doubt check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer. For chicken, this should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Done! Your dinner is done and the only dirty dishes are one pan, one cutting board, and one knife. Join me in the happy dance?
The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The tangy-sweet acidity of the tomatoes, starchy creaminess of the potatoes, and the bright crispy asparagus complimented each other, and the marinade brought it all home. YUM!
And now I have to say this. WINNER! WINNER! CHICKEN DINNER!
The Pintesting Results:
Overall Results: 4.85 Pins
Accuracy: This recipe was as simple as the TipHero video showed it to be even though I followed Chungah's recipe. 5 Pins
Difficulty: This recipe was very simple – perfect for novice cooks. The prep work was minimal and the marinade made everything taste wonderful. 5 Pins
Time: The active time to prep and cook the recipe was 40 minutes. The chicken requires time to marinade (30 minutes to overnight). I did this ahead of time and let it marinade all afternoon. While it isn't active cooking time, it's still necessary to make the recipe turn out so I'm giving this 4 Pins.
Cost: The cute little potatoes and grape tomatoes were both buy-one-get-one-free at the store when I got them. (I love shopping sales!) The total cost of all the main ingredients (not deducting for the sales) was $12.00. Even though we used only 2 chicken breast halves, we had 4 meals making this $3.00/serving. 5 Pins
Practicality: This is the kind of home cooking I could eat every week. It was simple, delicious, and planning ahead with the marinade made quick work of the cooking. Perfect for busy weeknights! You could experiment with using different kinds of vegetables such as green beans, carrots, Brussels sprouts, or whatever your family likes. You can also switch up the marinades – try the TipHero version for a more traditional herbed chicken flavor. This will be a regular in our menu rotation. 5 Pins

Hi, newbie here and I got a problem, duhhhh, could anyone be of some service?
I get and error message saying that my task manager has been disabled by the admin (which is me). I have found a program to re-enable it, but every time I restart the computer, task manager has been disabled again.
This all started when some how I got infected by a virus (don't know name) & adware. I have ran anti-spyware & virus software. It seems the virus has been successfully deleted, but I still have the adware & a Trojan coming back after each scan & deletion. The names of the 3 adware/trojan I have are:
Trojan Horse: vesbiz downloader
Adware: letsroll911.org hijacker
Adware: ist software
Procedures done:
1. Ran SpySweeper & Norton Virus scanner in safe & normal mode.
2. Cleaned Temp folder, Temp Internet, Cookies, and IE history.
3. When I ran the scanners I made sure the adware/trojan wasn't running in memory (by going to task manager).
4. Updated Windows
I don't know if this would be of any use, but my ZoneAlarm has alerted me that kernels64.exe is trying to access the internet and this has never tried to access the internet before.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
BTW, Ive heard a lot of people saying use hijack this. What is this program and what does it do?

Eminem wants to surprise fans with his new album.
Slaughterhouse members Royce Da 5' 9" and Joell Ortiz - who are signed to the rapper's own Shady Records label - believe the 'Not Afraid' hitmaker is deliberately keeping quiet about his upcoming eighth album because he doesn't want to give anything away until he's completed the final edit.
Royce told website Gigwise: "Em's whole thing is the element of surprise. That's how it's always been with him."
Joell added: "He gets in to his own world. I too am like him in a way. I like to go in to my cave and get the meat and potatoes of my album done before I venture out because I've gotta figure out the sound. So I'm sure that's probably what he's doing."
The 40-year-old superstar has yet to announce a release date or a title for the hotly-anticipated record, but photographs of him in the recording studio with comedian Chris Rock and rappers Big Sean and Kendrick Lamar have surfaced.
Eminem has also released a track, 'Survival', which features on computer game 'Call of Duty: Ghosts' and is expected to make the new album's tracklist.
The hip-hop icon is known for his spontaneous collaborations and recently released a record with Royce as duo Bad Meets Evil, an experience the Slaughterhouse star is already planning to follow up.
Royce said: "With the first Bad Meets Evil album - the one we just did - we didn't plan that one. We didn't know what was gonna happen and if it was gonna happen.
"It could end up being a situation where his album is out and Slaughterhouse's album is out and we have some free time together. I could see it accidentally happening. But we never plan anything."

As an ongoing effort for work, IT has deemed it necessary to encrypt our laptops. No problem I say, but one issue: the encryption software they chose only works on Windows 2000/XP and certainly not on OSX or Linux. My chosen platform for work is Ubuntu 8.04 with the bling of compiz to show it off 😉 In order to comply, I did a little googling and ran across an excellent article by Lars Strand on how to encrypt your /home directory and swap space on Ubuntu 8.04 (should work with 6.04 and higher).
Encrypted swap and home partition in Ubuntu 8.04
Sunday, 04 May 2008 @ 22:32 CEST
Contributed by: lars
I really would like to have an encrypted swap and home partition on my laptop. In case it gets stolen or if I should forget it somewhere, I can be sure that no-one would be able to read my private files. In this mini-howto I set my home partition using LVM, but using a regular partition should work just fine. This howto should also work, with minor modification, if you use another distribution than Ubuntu.
By using Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) setting up encrypted partition in Linux is done in no time.
I'm totally impressed by the article – the instructions are step by step and are easy to follow. I'd create a new user belonging to the admin group with its home directory outside of '/home' and use that user to perform the steps.
Initially I attempted to use an USB thumb drive to hold a key file but it proved unreliable because it wasn't being mounted consistantly before the /etc/init.d/cryptdisks & /etc/init.d/cryptdisks.early were being executed on boot up. This issue would cause the key file to be unavailable and therefore the encrypted home from being attached to (/etc/crypttab). However, when if I inserted the thumbdrive after the system booted, the usb thumb drive would be auto-mounted and performing 'mount /home' would mount the encrypted home directory.

Cody Arrington glanced at his watch and accelerated, heightening the pace of his truck over the gravel ranch road.
"We don't want to be late," he explained. "We're going to need a good meal."
Minutes later, we walked into the main lodge at the Rocker b Ranch, greeted by the aroma of sizzling steaks and the buzzing of a room filled with relaxed hunters.
Between bites of Texas beef, we exchanged pleasantries with the other hunters, most of whom were from Dallas. After we listened to their accounts of chasing pointing dogs rounding up blue and bobwhite quail, one of them asked, "How'd you guys
"We're just getting started," declared Arrington, a wildlife associate for the ranch, his eyes glimmering. "We're on the night shift."
Crying in the Wind
Tears pooled in my eyes, quickly careening off my checks as the liquid escaped my eyelashes.
Arrington piloted the dune buggy, an open air machine with seating for four and gun racks for two on the upper deck. I clutched my shotgun as we ripped through the West Texas night on the way to our first calling site.
Behind me, Lohman/Circe Sweepstakes Challenge winner John Almquist gripped a Thompson/Center .22-250. He was joined up top by Tad Brown, a predator caller on Lohman's prestigious Gold Staff.
Almquist, a retired high school science teacher from Watertown, S.D., was drawn from more than 2,000 entrants to hunt predators on the Rocker b. Serving as the public relations director for the South Dakota Trappers Association, Almquist is an avid trapper who targets mink, raccoons, beavers, foxes and coyotes.
Despite his years of trapline experience, he had never taken a bobcat, nor had he called predators.
I pulled my stocking cap lower in a feeble attempt to ward off a stiff wind that was exacerbated by the speed of the buggy and sub-freezing temperatures. As much as I desired to shield my eyes, I couldn't. Instead, I marveled at the creatures of the night as we sped past. White-tailed deer darted in front of us. At one point, Arrington braked hard to avoid a collision with a white-racked 8-pointer.
Cotton-tailed rabbits and jack rabbits scurried to avoid our tires every 25 feet.
Raccoon eyes lit the path like guard rail reflectors as we zipped along. Some animals zigzagged in front of the oncoming buggy before diving for cover. Others stepped aside and curiously watched four grown men dressed in camouflage zoom toward a seemingly arbitrary destination in the darkness.
"Aaaahhh!" I blurted, causing Arrington to bind the buggy's momentum.
We stopped a few feet from the puckering pee-ew maker, thankfully not close enough for the striped one to trigger its alarm. Had that skunk unleashed its potion, I'm certain more tears would have followed.
I glanced over my shoulder, wondering whether Almquist was regretting his decision to enter the sweepstakes drawing. He nodded at me, and I concluded that the allure of getting a chance at a bobcat was still overpowering the discomfort of our hunting conditions.
Arrington killed the motor and the buggy coasted to a stop in a rough clearing atop a flat rise. He plugged the spotlight into the cigarette lighter and climbed onto the upper deck behind Brown and Almquist.
Brown broke into his best rabbit squalls and Arrington worked the light, its red beam bouncing from bush to bush, wavering slightly in the wind.
Eyes dotted the landscape — nervous rabbits and rustling deer surrounded us. An owl peered eerily from nearby scrub.
After Brown's second set of screams, Arrington picked up another set of eyes, these belonging to a slinky invader that seemingly stalked the buggy.
Almquist shifted behind me. I tightened my grip as I pointed my shotgun barrel above the hood. We waited, wondering if the reflections were 'cat eyes, hoping the critter would keep closing in.
A powerful northwestern wind whisked Brown's pleas across Texas as Arrington's locator light scoured for signs of the approaching predator. A flickering silhouette melted into the night, taking with it our first near miss of the evening.
"Was that a 'cat?" I whispered as Arrington climbed back into the driver's seat.
"I think so," he said.
"Was it?" Almquist queried, his voice shivering.
"I told you we're going to get one," Arrington said confidently as he started the buggy's engine.
The wind clawed at our skin as we raced toward our next stand, but I silently wished Arrington would drive faster, skunks and watery eyes not withstanding. We were in bobcat country, and every animal on the 173,000-acre ranch seemed to be on the prowl.
A Rough Morning
The same wind that coursed in the darkness plagued our morning hunt.
Arrington picked us up and headed for a section of the ranch characterized by brush-choked draws. Our plan was to hunt for a while that morning, take a nap and then prepare for our first night hunt.
Brown thought it was a good idea to introduce Almquist to predator hunting with the aid of daylight. It would also give us a chance to scout the terrain as we hunted.
After two unproductive stands, Arrington parked the pickup just below the rim of a draw.
"This looks catty," Brown declared as we separated to find seats along the rocky ledge.
I scanned the draw as Brown's muffled rabbit woes echoed. Suddenly, my vision b lurred, and I strained to see.
"Dammit, not now," I thought as a migraine headache gripped me.
I didn't want to ruin the stand for Almquist, so I sat for a couple minutes. Finally, I stood and walked to the truck. As a chronic migraine sufferer, I've learned that the sooner I take my medicine, the less impact the headache has on the rest of my day.
I took the pill and sprawled in the back seat.
"We can go back to camp so you can lie down," Brown offered.
"No, I'll be OK," I said. "You guys just keep hunting. I'll stay in the truck and try to sleep it off."
Two stops later, the hunters were talking excitedly as they returned to the truck.
I hadn't heard a gunshot, but I surmised the wind might have swallowed the sound.
"What happened?" I asked with as much interest as I could muster with a pounding head.
"Tad called a bunch of raccoons really close," Arrington said.
"That was really neat," Almquist piped in. "I think that one would have been on my leg if I hadn't moved."
"They heard the dinner bell," Arrington said. "I thought John was going to have to
swat them away."
After two more unproductive stands, Brown and Arrington decided it was nap time.
"I sure hope this wind dies down for tonight," Arrington said as he dropped us at the guest house.
Night Stand No. 2
The sky spit as Arrington steered the buggy off of the trail and killed the engine. He jumped up top, as he had on the previous stand.
I untangled the light cord as Arrington swept the brush with the beam. Brown blew hard through his tube as Almquist and I waited for a reflection in the night.
"There," Brown whispered, almost under his breath.
A critter lurked in the brushline 60 yards away. Brown switched calls and starting emitting mousy squeaks instead of rabbit wails.
Arrington trained the beam just above the approaching head. The critter walked toward us, pausing for a second as Brown quieted his call.
As sleet switched to snowflakes, identity questions faded as the predator closed in.
"Can you kill him?" Brown hissed excitedly as Arrington held the beam.
Almquist answered the question. The bobcat crumpled.
"Nice shot!" Brown exclaimed. "You got yourself a bobcat."
We scrambled from the buggy, fumbling through the cacti with flashlights. Snow stung our faces, but none of us cared.
We quickly located the bobcat, a 20- pound female with distinct belly spots. Almquist's shot had pierced the 'cat's eye for a clean, quick kill. The pelt sustained very little damage.
Brown and I congratulated Almquist, and we loaded the Texas trophy onto the buggy.
"You know," I said, "Some guys who've called predators for an awfully long time have never shot a bobcat. That's really a special thing. You're awfully lucky to get one on your first day of predator hunting."
"Let's go get another one," Arrington said.
We hunted until 3 a.m. and spotted suspicious reflections at almost every stand, including another set that we concluded with 99 percent certainty belonged to a bobcat, but we weren't afforded another shot.
Daylight Fright
As might be expected, we slept in. Arrington picked us up late in the afternoon.
Our plan was to make a few stands, head to the main lodge for supper, then load up the buggy for another night hunt.
I hoped aloud we'd call in a coyote, but Arrington said coyote numbers were low
on the ranch.
At our second stand, a tell-tale flash in the brush stole my attention. A pair of rare Rocker b dogs were sprinting toward Brown's coaxer.
Within 30 seconds, the leader of the pair stood 40 feet in front of Almquist, who later explained that he was watching the other coyote and only swung on the one in front of him at the last minute.
Almquist shot, and the coyote tucked its tail and tore past me. I found the fleeing predator in my crosshairs and was starting to squeeze when the animal flipped in front of me. Brown beat me to the shot.
"They sure came in fast," Almquist said. "I wasn't ready for that."
A Quiet Night
After another grand supper, we ventured the trails in the buggy. The wind was noticeably absent, although the crisp January air was no less punishing as we sped along between calling sites.
Deer were bedded. Rabbits squatted in the brush. Raccoons roosted in the low
branches. Browns' squalls echoed, alerting owls and all critters in the distance that we
were a meal for the taking.
On one stand, a coyote circled our location, never quite affording a shot. At another, a raccoon investigated. But bobcats and other predators eluded us. At 2 a.m., suffering from cold and fatigue, we agreed to end our hunt.
One for the Wall
Two days and nights in Texas dealt Almquist a pair of conclusions: Predator calling is fun, and he had collected a trophy hide for his wall.
"I had a great time," Almquist said. "I'm sure happy I was able to go on this
trip and learn about predator calling."

I Love You For Condimental Reasons
On coffee:
"Put in A LOT of Half & Half, okay? More than you think would anyone would want. Try to achieve a cup of Half & Half with a subtle coffee flavor. And don't skimp on the sugar. Give me four packets, and if they only have the big pour containers, turn it upside-down and count to ten, and make sure no lumps are obstructing the opening."
On sandwiches:
"I want more mayonnaise than the FDA advises a single person to consume at one sitting. Put on an amount that makes you recoil and then add another teaspoon. Also I want the cheese layer to be thicker than the meat layer by a ratio of 2 to 1."
On fries:
"It should look like you're making a Carrie diorama, only the people are fries and the blood is ketchup. I want the splatter to reach all four corners of the container. They should need to call Dexter."
What can I say? I'm passionate about my cuisine.

So, it's been a while since I've been around here (well,since I've been around the Internet, really- except for FB of course, because you know, you have to do SOMETHING when you have your wake up time in the bathroom every morning, but I digress...)ReplyDelete
Anyway, so I've been filling my slow time at work catching up on things I've missed. I used to hate slow times at work, but they have become my favorite part of the day thanks to you. Oh, and I agree with the Miracle Whip over Mayo comment above. Mayo is pretty gross. In case you cared.
You sound like my husband. Sometimes I am afraid he will give me exact ounce measurements.ReplyDelete
I'm right there with you on the mayo, but instead of ketchup, I like my fries (and most other things) dipped in ranch.ReplyDelete

Like other cultured pearls, the value of South Sea pearls and finished jewellery pieces is determined by a variety of value factors. The first and foremost is the appearance of the South Sea pearl.
South Sea Luser
Another factor in evaluating South Sea pearls is the luster. Luster or shine is how well a pearl reflects incident light. An outstanding luster will have a mirror-like shine and very sharp image reflection. The luster of South Sea culture pearls is a deep inner glow.
South Sea Matching
As different regions produce different sizes and colors, it can take time to match larger and smaller pearls for a full graduated strand.
South Sea Shape
Cultured South Sea pearls are nucleated with round beads. However, less than 20% are round. As a result, the rounder the pearl, the more valuable it is.
South Sea Body
The cleanliness of the body or surface of the pearl is also a factor of its value. The cleaner the surface, the more valuable the pearl is.
South Sea Size
The size of the pearl effects the value. A larger pearl with similar other value factors will be more valuable than a smaller one.
South Sea Colors
With respect to golden South Sea pearls, the more saturated the golden color the higher the value.

My friend's computer is a CyberPower computer, not sure what model. I just factory reset it, and when Windows was reinstalled, the computer couldn't connect to the Internet. The Ethernet drivers are unable to be found on the computer. I need to get the computer able to connect to the Internet and I don't know how to do it. Also the computer is really low-res and expanded and I can't figure out how to disable that. Please help.
Tell your friend to go find the driver disc that came with the computer. Problem solved.
I did exactly that and he can't find it.
Cristián, reading through the comments again, I think I understand what the confusion stems from. Although CyberPower builds PCs, this is essentially an assembly job. ALL the internal components (motherboard, processor, graphics, network interface hard discs etc) are made by other companies, and most requires its specific driver (disc drives and most keyboards & mice use the built-in drivers). Because CyberPower build PCs to order, there's not even a standard "model" which will consist of a fixed set of parts. You need to find out what the constituent parts of the computer are and get the necessary drivers for them.
If CyberPower are highly organised, they may have the list of components on you PC which they will be able to trace through their invoices and can send to you.
If not, you can open up the computer and note down the make & model of the components. The most important component is the motherboard, followed by the expansion cards (cards which are plugged into the motherboard). Note down the make & model of each board and then go on the hunt through CyberPower's support page and download the necessary drivers. If you prefer, you can search for the drivers on google. For example, if your motherboard is made by ASUS and the model is F2A85-M PRO you would simply google "ASUS F2A85-M PRO drivers", which will take you to ASUS's support page, where you may or may not need to select the motherboard model again and the version of Windows. Once you have done that, you will get a long list of drivers available for that motherboard. The most important components for you are: chipset, ethernet, wifi (possibly called "wireless") and graphics (possibly called "video").
Once you install them and restart the PC, you should be able to connect to the internet. However, there may be other drivers you need, so open up the device manager (in Windows Vista or 7 you can simply search for it. In other versions of Windows, you'll find it in the Control Panel under "system". Once it opens, you'll see a list of device types. Any devices that are recognised but not working properly will be listed in the correct branch and have either an exclamation mark or an X over their icon and you should update the drivers for them (there's an option in the device's properties to do that, or you could search for a driver and install it yourself).
If any devices are not recognised at all, they'll be listed under "other devices". The solution is the same, but you'll need to identify them yourself by doing further detective work...
Best of luck!
I just installed the Ethernet drivers, and I still can't connect to the Internet through Ethernet. I don't know what's going on.
OK, a few questions:
1. What version of Windows are you using (XP, Vista, 7 or 8)?
2. Are you using a wired connection or WiFi?
3. Did you check the Device Manager to see if the driver is working properly? What is it reporting?
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
I'm using a wired connection. The computer in question usually doesn't connect to WiFi because it's a desktop.
Hi Cristián, the next step is to oopen the Network and Sharing Center and run the "Troubleshoot problems" wizard. If you are lucky, it will sort out the problem. If not, note down the error message and post it here.
I tried that, and it said that it couldn't identify the problem
Alright. Let's try it like this. Go into the device manager and check the status of the Ethernet driver. It should be in the "Network adapters" branch, and will probably not say "ethernet" as part of its name, but will have something to differentiate it from WiFi adapters. Quite often, ethernet adapters have "10/100" or "GBE" in their name (to indicate their speed). Is it shown as working?
If not, what is the problem? Is it disabled, faulty, driver stopped? Or perhaps there's no ethernet driver shown, in which case look at the "unknown devices" branch and make a list of all the devices listed there. Report your findings here and we'll continue from there.
If the device IS shown as working, open the Network and Sharing Center and click on "Change adapter settings" on the left. Double click on the "local area connection icon" and study the information there. First of all, does it show something in the "speed" category (e.g. 100.0 Mbps)? If not, you have a communication problem between the card and the router. This may be resolvable, so report it to us. If the speed's there, whaty about the packets sent & received? If it 's a large number, it means that the computer is "talking" to the internet (or at any rate, to other computer), but if it's a small number (<1000), this is indicative of something else (e.g. TCP/IP configuration problem or firewall issues) and we can try to help you there.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
There's a list of hardware companies at the bottom of the page. You're supposed to look for the driver for each component under the appropriate manufacturer. Since you don't know what model the computer is (and by extension, what make & model each component is), I suggest you contact the CyberPower suppoort people using the contact info on that page, and ask them to help. They should be able to help you identify the hardware and tell you which drivers to download.
Sounds like you're missing the specific drivers for your PC are missing (at least the Ethernet/WiFi and graphics). You could try DriverPack, as Hovsep suggests, or you could look for a drivers disc among the discs that came with the PC, if any, and install them. If you don't have a drivers disc, you could download drivers from http://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/support/. You'll need to know the model name at a minimum, but if you have trouble figuring this out, there are contact details on that page so you can phone or email them and I'm sure they'll be able to advise you properly.
I don't understand what I'm supposed to do on that page. It doesn't clearly explain what name corresponds with which driver.
maybe the windows iso dvd you have used is not a good one.
DriverPack Solution
I loaded DriverPack Solution on the CyberPower computer. When the program loads up it states that I need to search for the drivers on the web, five drivers require installation but weren't found in driverpacks, and that I should try adding other driverpacks or download from the links provided by the program.
well you can download on another pc, transfer to usb key then plug the usb key to your pc, copy paste to desktop then load the driverpack and see if this will help to advance.
That's what I did.
so you solved your problem?
Unfortunately I did not. I tried that and it didn't work.
use your windows cd to repair windows and try again, sometime missing system file can cause this problems.
Well the thing is that the computer was connected to the Internet before I used to the Windows CD. After I used the Windows CD, it lost its ability to connect to the Internet. Downloading the drivers from my laptop to an external hard drive that I have, and then transferring them to my PC and installing them there fixed the display, but did not provide the computer access to the Internet.
Correction: I do not have my Windows CD, and thus I did not use it. Instead, what I used was a DVD with the necessary ISO files burnt onto it. After I used this DVD to factory reset the CyberPower PC, it was unable to connect to the Internet through Ethernet, and had a low-resolution display. I fixed the display and set it to normal, but the computer is still not able to connect to the Internet.
perhaps to check here for the drivers
i had similar problems with my windows 8 internet browsers could not display web pages so i had to use my backup to restore windows, have you tried wifi connection to see if his can help internet access?
Windows 7: Ethernet controller driver on my Windows 7 Cyber Power pc not found.
Yeah. I read that and unfortunately didn't find any solutions.
is it possible that the motherboard has a problem, perhaps to make dual boot with another windows or linux version and see if connection will be established

Three times in recent years I've joined an organization that was relatively new to Java development and missing some basic infrastructure elements that I'd relied on in previous development efforts. These elements include utility classes, standards and conventions, and build and quality control tools that help you produce a higher quality product with less risk. If you're involved in a development effort, whether it's new or ongoing, that's lacking any of these elements, you should consider incorporating them into your project infrastructure.
Nuts and Bolts
Some common utility software components should be incorporated into your development efforts as early as possible, because delaying their introduction may result in the proliferation of differing approaches that will need to be reworked later.
Configuration Settings
Access configuration settings via wrappers that hide the settings' underlying storage mechanism. There are numerous places where you can define configuration settings, including properties files, XML files, the database, and via the JDK's preferences package (which on Windows stores preferences to the registry, and to the file system on Unix). If your code uses direct calls to these mechanisms and future needs require that you either change which mechanisms are used or add functionality to those mechanisms, you'll need to make changes everywhere the mechanisms are referenced.
For example, suppose developers store configuration settings in properties files and load and access the settings via calls to the Properties class sprinkled throughout their code. If sometime later you find that changes made to the configuration settings need to be reflected in the application while the application is running, you'll need to change the code that loads those properties to support reloading them. If the settings that need to be reloaded aren't all loaded by the same code - for example, some are UI settings loaded by UI code and others are network settings loaded by network code - you'll need to make the same types of changes in multiple places.
You might also need to change the underlying storage mechanism. For example, a new customer might be database-centric and used to administering configuration settings in database tables and insist that your settings be administered the same way. If you're reusing a code base that has references to the Properties class throughout the code, you'll have to make a lot of changes to accommodate the new customer.
You can roll your own configuration settings classes or harvest them from the Internet. If you can incorporate open source into your product, take a look at the Jakarta Commons Configuration package. If you need or prefer to roll your own, you could start with a simple factory+interface approach as in:
public class ConfigFactory {
public static ConfigFactory getInstance() {...}
public Config getConfig( ) {...};
public interface Config {
public int getInt( String settingName );
public long getLong( String settingName );
You would then implement the Config interface once for each settings repository that you use, as in a ConfigProperties implementation, a ConfigXML implementation, etc.
If you don't have a logging package in place very early in your coding efforts, you can easily find yourself with a hodgepodge of logging approaches that make error investigation far more difficult than it should be. I've joined a number of large in-progress development efforts where almost every subsystem had its own custom logging package with numerous log files scattered in various directories, and log messages and message timestamps with varying formats. Consequently, one of the first hurdles in investigating a problem becomes determining, and locating, which log files may contain messages related to the problem. Then, if messages of interest are in multiple files, you may need to collate them into a chronological sequence, possibly reconciling different timestamp formats to do so.
Your choice for logging should be between using the JDK logging APIs and Log4j, unless you have specific logging needs that can't be addressed by either package. The March 2005 issue of JDJ contained an excellent article, "Log4j vs java.util.logging," by Joe McNamara that can help you in your decision.
If you're developing J2EE applications, an additional factor in your decision should be how easily your log messages can be directed to the application server's logging console and files. Many application server administration UIs have capabilities for displaying and filtering log messages, so if you can direct your messages to the application server's log message store, you can capitalize on those capabilities. In addition, having your log messages automatically collated with the application server's log messages may aid your problem investigation. For example, suppose your application fails because a resource pool in the application server was exhausted, but the error messages reported by your application contain insufficient detail to determine the cause. Having your messages in the application server log right after an application server message reports the exhaustion saves you considerable time in understanding the problem.
If you need to support more than one logging mechanism, consider using the Jakarta Commons logging package, which provides a common logging API under which you can plug in JDK logging, Log4j, or a custom logger. However, realize that if you use this common API, you will be unable to access some features of the underlying implementation, as is explained at www.qos.ch/logging/thinkAgain.jsp by Ceki Gülcü, a key contributor to Log4j.
Exception Handling
Establish your exception handling approach early to ensure that you have mechanisms in place for the consistent and complete reporting and handling of errors. Decide on the project's philosophy regarding checked and unchecked exceptions - should checked exceptions be wrapped in unchecked exceptions? Your initial reaction might be "Why is this even an issue, since it defeats the point of having checked exceptions?" Well, a number of luminaries in the Java field, such as Bruce Eckel, advocate wrapping checked exceptions in unchecked exceptions (see www.mindview.net/Etc/Discussions/CheckedExceptions). One argument for doing so is that many developers don't really know what to do when a checked exception occurs. Because they're forced (by the compiler) to either catch it or declare it in their method's throws clause, they commit sins such as catching but not rethrowing it, which can make a problem investigation more difficult. (See Joshua Bloch's book Effective Java for a more extensive discussion on why consuming exceptions is bad practice.)

My Love Affair with Mumbai – The City that Never Sleeps
The city awakes, even before it can fall asleep. By the time the late night owls return back to their nests at dawn, the commuters who have to travel for hours to reach their work places are up and running about, trying to get everything done hastily so they can catch the daily local.
They wake up, mostly even before the crack of dawn, in order to cook, clean, preen themselves and have enough time to take the bus to the station instead of splurging their hard-earned money on the costly rickshaw ride that would deprive them of some precious notes. Armed with books to read and a playlist to nod to, they embark on a journey that would gobble up to three to four productive hours of their day. That's what each morning in Mumbai looks like for the working class! That's where I learnt one of the first lessons about Mumbai – if you ever need to get anywhere, set aside at least an hour for just one way travel.
My tryst with the much loved city of Mumbai began three years back, when I decided to pursue a degree in Mass Media from one of its reputed colleges. Eighteen at that time, my expectations knew no bounds. High on life and drunk on excitement, I entered the city to begin a new chapter. Little did I know at the time about the overwhelming and yet mixed emotions I'd develop towards the city over the next three years I spent there.
If anything, living in Mumbai is like toeing a thin rope. You need to keep running – keep up with the fast-paced life. The minute you fumble, you're bound to fall. At other times, it's about flowing with the current. All you need to do is push yourself bang into the middle of the throng waiting to board a local during the rush hours – you're bound to be carried along. Be careful, for the same surge may even push you out even before the train chugs out!
But most of all, I feel, life in Mumbai is like eating hot kebabs just off the grill. The kebabs look amazing, and you can't wait to eat them. Be cautioned, for if you eat them too early, you're bound to get burnt. A tad too late and they're too cold to relish the true flavors. From what I can tell, life in Mumbai is all about right timing and literally everyone is scrambling around trying to make their time count.
Despite my short rendezvous with the city of dreams, I can tell you this one thing for sure. By the time I reached my final year, I had fallen in love with the chaos and fast-paced scheme of things. A prospect of a routine without pace seemed impossibly dull. That was when I realized why the flashing city of Mumbai has constantly captured the fancy of millions of dreamers each year. The hope of becoming the next Shahrukh Khan is what keeps those vulnerable and fragile dreams alive. And it is this hope that gives them the courage to roam the streets homeless, to compromise on the basics, and do the odd jobs just to be able to earn their daily meals. These wistful inhabitants are the ones that add the soul to the city that never sleeps.
Leaving the ever-growing throng of dreamers aside, I found another category of people who constantly migrate to the city from various parts of the country in pursuit of a better life. They leave behind their families, just to earn a little extra to send back home each month, living in tiny, cramped and dingy cupboard sized lodgings, a far cry from their airy homes back in their villages, and provide basic labor – most essential for the city to survive. These are the ones who are happy driving their black and yellow Padminis or autos, the ones who cook, serve and wait tables at the numerous restaurants the city prides itself on, the ones who sweep, swab and look after the kids of the affluent, the ones who drive and manage the BEST buses and the local trains, ensuring that the city functioned like clockwork day after day, regardless of sun or even the unforgiving and yet beautiful Mumbai monsoons.
Despite the glamorous celebrities who might serve as ambassadors to the city, I feel it is this selfless lot who are the true heroes of the city. While the ones on the covers might be the face of Mumbai, these are the ones who define the true soul of the city.
I'll back soon Mumbai – right back into your feisty embrace.
