The retail diet plan
I have a helpful hint for anyone who wants to avoid weight gain over the winter holidays. It's a simple hint, but I swear that it worked for me -- just work 35-40 hours a week at a busy retail store.
I lost ten pounds between November 10 and January 10. I ate my usual peanut butter and toast for breakfast, and I took a sandwich to work for lunch. That was conservative enough, but every night when I got home from work, I enjoyed supper and a liberal amount of homemade Christmas candy.
When I went to the doctor in mid-December, he told me to keep my job because it was good for me. My cholesterol was up a little (probably from the Christmas candy!) but I had actually lost some weight. I have to get a cholesterol re-check in a couple of months, but I expect it to be OK now that the Christmas candy is all gone.
The retail worker's day is full of light exercise, done quickly -- lifting, walking, carrying, reaching, bending, kneeling, climbing, etc. At my store, if you're on the clock you're standing, even if you aren't working. All in all, it's the most effective weight-loss plan I've ever experienced.
To be honest, if I hadn't been working, I would have spent a good portion of November and December sitting at my computer, where I burn a minimum of calories! I usually gain at least 5 pounds over the holidays. I do agree with the doctor that my job has been good for my health, though it certainly has cut into my blogging time!

"The biggest thing they have done is to add more drivers and update the look in order to bring BeOS to users who could not have installed it before and attract new users to discover what made it great. This is a good thing, but I just can't get behind this OS as of yet. There are too many problems and rough patches. If you want the best way to use BeOS, this is it.

Normally, the amount of urine your body produces decreases at night. This allows most peopleto sleep 6 to 8 hours without having to urinate.
Some people wake up from sleep more often to urinate during the night. This can disrupt sleep cycles.
Alternative Names
Common Causes
Drinking too much fluid during the evening can cause you to urinate more often during the night. Caffeine and alcohol after dinner can also lead to this problem.
Other common causes of urination at night include:
- Infection of the bladder or urinary tract
- Drinking a lot of alcohol, caffeine, or other fluids before bedtime
- Enlarged prostate gland (BPH)
Other conditions that can lead to the problem include:
- Chronic kidney failure
- Diabetes
Drinking an excessive amounts water
- Heart failure
- High blood calcium level
- Certain medicines, including water pills (diuretics)
Diabetes insipidus
Waking often during the night to urinate can also be linked to obstructive sleep apnea and other sleeping disorders. Nocturia may go away when the sleeping problem is under control.
Home Care
To monitor the problem:
- Keep a diary of how much fluid you drink, how often you urinate, and how much you urinate.
- Record your body weight at the same times and on the same scale daily.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- Waking to urinate more often continues over several days.
- You are bothered by the number of times you must urinate during the night.
- You have burning when urinating.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions such as:
- When did the problem start and has it changed over time?
- How often you urinate each night and how much urine do you release each time?
- Do you ever have "accidents" or
- What makes the problem worse? Better?
- How much fluid do you drink before bedtime? Have you tried limiting fluids before bedtime?
- What other symptoms do you have? Do you have
increased thirst, pain or burning on urination, fever, abdominal pain, or back pain?
- What medicines are you taking? Have you changed your diet?
- Do you drink caffeine and alcohol? If so, how much do you consume each day?
- Have you had any bladder infections in the past?
- Do you have a family history of
- Does nighttime urination interfere with your sleep?
Tests that may be performed include:
- Blood sugar (glucose)
Blood urea nitrogen
- Fluid deprivation
Osmolality, blood Serum creatinineor creatinine clearance Serum electrolytes Urinalysis Urine concentration
- Urine culture
Treatment depends on the cause. If excessive nighttime urination is due to diuretic medicines, you may be told to take your medication earlier in the day.

My New Smith and Wesson 38 Special Film Noir Style
I was sitting alone in my office I spend too much time alone. I dont know if I should call it my office, since I havent had a new case in weeks. Maybe it was my home more like home that that cheep flophouse I rent down on Bennett Street.
I always tell people that I dont drink alone, but tonight was an exception, just like every other night. I reach for the only thing I can trust, my new Smith and Wesson Model 36 revolver. It holds five shots of 38 Special and fits close to my hip, that last thing that held me that close was my ex-wife; at least this piece of cold steal had only been through a few hands unlike my Ex.
I load it up with five rounds of Cor-Bon +P ammunition. Expensive stuff, 20 bucks a box, but worth it for my line of work.
Maybe tomorrow will bring a new case, wrapped up in the form of a Brunet with great gams or maybe not
BTW, I purchased a new gun and have been watching too many old films

Nice BUG that you have there.
Have you considered trying Speer's newer Gold Dot loads that were designed for shorter barrel guns? They do make a 130 grain +P Gold Dot hollowpoint load that expands under reduced velocities that you get when going from a 4" to a 2" barrel, and it seems to be quite popular amongst those who own J-frame sized revolvers, and seems to do a better job of reliably expanding compared to the Sierra bullet used in the Corbon.

On the other hand I got the gun for self-defense and dont what to load it up with low velocity rounds that will not expand upon impact.
Its a bit of a pickle.

Besides, if you have to worry about using a constant diet of +P rounds from a backup gun, then I'd be more worried about what kind of work you're doing! :)
Another option you may want to think about are the standard pressure Federal Nyclad hollowpoints. These use a nylon jacket (nothing illegal about them in any way, shape or form), and the core is a relatively soft lead that does expand reliably, even out of a snubbie. It's getting harder to find, but it is still around in some circles.

In an article written by atheist evolutionist Steve Jones in The Daily Telegraph, a British daily paper with a circulation of 650,000, anti-evolutionist protests in the University of London were noted. In his article, Mr. Jones stated that Muslim students in the University of London were very successful, hardworking and talented and they refused the theory of evolution. In addition, he continues by mentioning that Dr. Oktar Babuna gave a lecture about the invalidity of evolution at the University of London as a representative of Harun Yahya:
"… (A Dr. Babuna, as I remember) was invited on to campus to give an account of why The Origin is wrong. He was the scion of an extraordinary anti-evolution organization based in his native land that has sent out thousands of lavishly illustrated creationist books and has linked Darwinism to Nazism and worse."
In England, which was once considered the fortress of Darwinism, it is a known fact that the theory of evolution is an unscientific theory and a hoax. Moreover, since students have detailed and convincing sources in England, where Harun Yahya"s works have an immense following, they are able to oppose evolutionary lies with a steadfast certainty and logic as they have true scientific facts and evidence to support their claims.

The hockey equipment staff actually applies the wings with maize tape, as painting the wings would create some kind of hazard for the players. According to a guy in the hockey office who gave me a tour of the Yost locker room a few years back, the paint chips really easily and if inhaled is pretty nasty. Another commonly cited reason is that painting on a logo would void the warranty on the helmet and/or make it unsafe.
Thus, tape. So, get yourself a big roll of maize-colored tape, and go to town! May take a couple hours, but it's authentic.
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:12 AM ^
I can't believe painting a helmet would void the warranty. Not that I don't' believe you, it just seems odd.
Thanks for the reply.
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:31 AM ^
Yeah, it seems crazy, but that's one of the alternate reasons that floats around. I heard the paint chip thing directly from the hockey people, but I've also heard a lot of talk about the manufacturers not wanting the helmets painted.
When you think about it, how many non-goalie hockey helmets do you see that have painted designs? I can't think of any. It's always decals.
September 23rd, 2009 at 8:04 AM ^
whose recently purchased Jofa (90's era Lemieux-Jagr style) snapped in front above the ears after some collision on the boards... so he went to the pro shop which in turn put him in touch with some supply rep, and long story short they told him it was his fault because he used Itech screws to put in his Itech half-shield on a Jofa product. WTF, of course... Long story short, the pro shop made good on the deal. I was never a Jofa guy to begin with, but that story pretty much guaranteed I never would be.
September 23rd, 2009 at 10:33 AM ^
They are made out of a pretty soft, flexible plastic. I'm not a chemist, but there are probably paints (or painting processes and thinners) that would alter the durability and makeup of the plastic. A safety equipment company couldn't and shouldn't extend their warranty under those circumstances.
Goalie helmets are much more harder, and made of fiberglass, carbon fiber, etc. These are easily painted, and not flexible, so the paint stays on better.
Painting the helmet would alter the product the company provided when they make the helmet. They're not responsible for that.
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:24 AM ^
You have to tape it. Its actually not too tough to do. Or you could ask Ian Hume to do it (the hockey manager), but I'm sure he'd want a good price to do it because he has to do 30 of those every year.
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:33 AM ^
Yep. Yellow electrical tape's how you do it; it's how we did it on the roller hockey club.
September 23rd, 2009 at 1:12 AM ^
The hockey jerseys and helmets have to be about the greatest in sports.

Ellen van Dijk on the cobbles of Les Champs
Less than 24 hours before the BIG RACE, we had the chance to discuss La Course by Le Tour, Women Cycling and SRAM with Ellen van Dijk (Boels Dolmans Cycling Team).
Ellen van Dijk is looking forward to race on the cobbles of Les Champs Élysées in Paris for the first edition of La Course by Le Tour. She is expecting a lot from this race for the development of Women Cycling. "La Course is a step towards the level of attention it deserves. There's a lot of attention before it. It will be broadcasted in 104 countries I've heard; a lot of spectators are here. So it's important that we show an attractive race and not wait for a bunch sprint. It's a chance to show what we can do."
She wants to make this race interesting and exciting for the public in order to make women want to ride and race and also to bring more sponsors for the development of Women Cycling. "I hope that a lot of people around the world will watch us and think "Wow" that's a cool sport. Maybe other women get inspired and so some new sponsors."
The 2013 Team and Individual Time-Trial World Champion and 2014 Tour of Flanders winner is one of the main contenders for the victory on Les Champs Élysées. While she hopes that the race won't come down to a bunch sprint, being a time-trialist, a strong rouleur and a Classic rider, the other athletes won't let her go away. "The others might be focused on me because they know I'm not a bunch sprinter and they also know that I want to go on a breakaway and most of the time when I'm in a breakaway I like to work and my companions like to ride with a Time-Trialist. In other races I could notice that they are focused on my wheels."
For the men's race, the last stage of the Tour de France always come down to a bunch sprint. Ellen thinks it can definitely be different for them. "For us it's only one day race, 90kms. So that's maybe why we can have a breakaway while with men it's always a bunch sprint. Everybody is tired after three weeks. For us it's one day so a good opportunity to show yourself."
The Dutch talent who rides SRAM RED 22 for several years, praises her groupset "22 is really nice, you never have a gap in between. You can shift every gear you like. It shifts exact and it's precise. The groupset is also very light."
Let's have a closer look to her bike for La Course by Le Tour
Frame: Specialized Amira
Groupset: SRAM RED 22
Shifters: SRAM RED 22 DoubleTap - ErgoDynamic Shifter
Chainrings: 53*39 (crank arms: 172.5mm)

Rear Derailleur: SRAM RED 22 short-cage
Brakes: SRAM RED Aerolink (Front & Rear)

Here are the records of all the rookie qb's.
1. Ryan Tannehill – 1W 3L Lost to Arizona Cardinals on the road, lost to new york jets.
2. Robert Griffin III – 2W 2L Lost to St. Louis rams at home, beat an 0 – 4 saints team
3. Andrew Luck – 1W 2L Never played an NFC west team, lost to jacksonville
4. Brandon Weeden - 0W 4L Never played an NFC west team, arguably hardest 4 games
5. Russell Wilson – 2W – 2L lost to both Rams and Cardinals on the road. Surprisingly second hardest schedules.
This is not a comparison to see which one is better as much as it is to show trends in rookie qbs in comparison to RW. There is this idea that somehow Russell is performing at a lower level than the others (as stated by Groz). in reality it appears that no rookie qb has beaten an NFC West team this year. does this explain away his shortcomings (nopun)? of course not, this is a very small sample set and even of this set two of the five quarterbacks haven't even played NFC west teams yet (and have drastically different records). but even in these two (luck, weeden) we see that luck has a bit of "fortune" in the fact that he plays in the weaker divison. Even then he lost to the jacksonville jaguars (1 - 3) and beating the vikings (3 - 1) before they somehow found the sword of Castle Greyskull. Weeden on the other hand is the only guy who has had the harder four games than RW. Brandon Weeden has never faced a team with so much as a losing record this year. Facing two of the harder teams (baltimore and cincinatti who are both division rivals) on the road to open the year doesn't help. Lastly we come to RW and the great irony of this is if you asked anybody who was a seahawk fan what our record would be after the first four games, you would have heard 2 - 2. Which is exactly right, except its flipped from what we thought.
the bottom line is this, the NFC west is tougher, much tougher than we thought. Heck the nfl in general is tougher than and more competitive then i remember it in some time. I think if it would have been W, L, L, W no one would be as up in arms. This kid will be fine.

Renovating a Bathroom
This week I wrapped up my first bathroom renovation. (Well, almost.) Having never done a bathroom renovation I didn't really know what I was getting into. I remember thinking, how much could it really cost? This room is tiny! For today's post I am going to outline all of my costs from start to finish. I realize that each bathroom comes with its own challenges and issues and this is simply one experience.
Like most people, I wanted to maximize what was already there to keep costs down. I kept the tub and tile surround and had it professionally epoxy coated in bright, shiny white which is only recommended for older, quality tubs not made from plastic. I also kept the double vanity, the overhead cabinets, and the newer white toilet.
Let it be noted that I am located in New Hampshire (I am not paying big city prices) and that I did not make a "budget." I did however do a ton of price comparison research. For the spraying of my tub for example, I had 3-5 different companies give quotes, and as a general rule, I tend to go with the least expensive. (Even though people say not to.)
Demo: My father, brother and I tore up the brown moldy tile that was on the floor and walls. For this, you only need a crow bar, a hammer, and some gusto. We also removed the subfloor since it was sinking in by the toilet and smelled of urine. I removed the rusty lighting fixtures, the built in storage that covered the mirror over the vanity, the human-sized, built in medicine cabinet (opposite the vanity) which had double mirrors, all cabinet hardware, main door hinges (yes these were also rusty), door knob, and the shower head.
COST: Free
Drywall & Cement Board: The toilet was removed by a plumber, and the sub-floor was rebuilt using a layer of plywood topped with a layer of DUROCK. The drywall used in the bathroom was blueboard which has a better moisture barrier. After the drywall is hung, next comes taping, mudding, sanding and priming.
COST: Less than $100 for materials. Dad is a drywaller.
Tile: I chose basic white tile I found for .99 cents a piece at a Tent Sale and hired a professional to install it. It took him a lot longer than I expected due to the unevenness of the floor.
COST: $30 for tile and $375 flat charge for leveling and installation.
Tub & Surround: I opted to paint this area rather than rip it out. It's less mess and less expensive. The downfall is that the walls may be moldy behind the old tile and I can not update the shower system.
COST: $575 flat charge for tub and surround.
Plumbing: Included removal and re-setting of toilet with new wax ring, two new traps for sinks, hot and cold water plumbing for vanity sinks, installing a new plug system for shower, and installing new faucets.
COST: $450 (at $50 per hour plus materials)
Electrical: I wanted a really powerful vent and light system for this bathroom since I had witnessed how musty and damp it was before the renovation. The least offensive one I could find was from Hunter. I also chose very inexpensive vanity lights in chrome. I didn't have much choice here since I needed to mount the lights hanging face down and not on the wall.
COST: $155 for fixtures plus $200 for labor (at $60 per hour)
Cabinets: I enlisted the help of friends and sanded, bin sealed, re-sanded, and painted all cabinets. They took three coats! Later in the process I hired a painter to paint the two small walls and caulk and paint the new trim white. I searched for months for hinges that fit these cabinets and have a classic feel and finally found these. The knobs are from Anthropologie.
COST: Hardware: $150 Painting supplies and labor: $300 (at $20 per hour)
Carpentry: Included installing sub-floor, removing life size medicine cabinet, re-trimming door, adding molding to the top of mirror, removing old counter top, and rebuilding existing vanity for new top.
COST: $280 (at $35 per hour plus materials)
Vanity: I have always wanted a Carerra marble counter top so I went for it. From picking out the stone, template and install, it was a two month process. This space is incredibly tight and awkwardly shaped, and as a result the sinks and counter top were not installed properly the first time. Thankfully, they got it right the second time. Under-mount sinks should be centered within the cut outs and there should not be more than a quarter inch overhang/ gap from sink to counter top.
COST: $1,374 with sinks and faucets.
Miscellaneous: I had to replace the brass doorknob and the door hinges too!

FCC Just Couldn't Stop Voting
from the election-day-festivities dept
Other than that, the FCC said that it's going to start looking into the pricing policies of cable companies... and Verizon. Who's missing? FCC boss Kevin Martin's best friends over at AT&T. To be honest, while it's quite likely that the cable companies and the telcos (yes, including AT&T) are abusing their oligopoly position, the answer shouldn't be having the FCC act as a watchdog over pricing policies, but for a better system to be set up that encourages real competition. In the meantime, though, can someone explain why AT&T was left out of the bunch?

Toronto keeps big bats out, clubs five HRs in finale
TORONTO -- When the Blue Jays win at home, they win big.
That fact may have been been inflated by the consecutive offensive outbursts they had against the Phillies at Rogers Centre this week, including Thursday night's 12-6 decision, but heading into their four-game weekend series against the Angels, the Blue Jays are outscoring opponents 54-15 when they win in Toronto.View Full Game Coverage
TORONTO -- When the Blue Jays win at home, they win big.
That fact may have been been inflated by the consecutive offensive outbursts they had against the Phillies at Rogers Centre this week, including Thursday night's 12-6 decision, but heading into their four-game weekend series against the Angels, the Blue Jays are outscoring opponents 54-15 when they win in Toronto.View Full Game Coverage
After shutting out the Phillies 10-0 a night before, the Blue Jays' bats erupted for five homers in their fifth straight win.
"We're some kind of hot right now," said manager John Gibbons. "We've got some pretty good hitters in there, and they're all swinging. It's dangerous, and you put us in this ballpark, it's home run heaven out there."
The Blue Jays hit five home runs Thursday, totalling 11 in their previous four contests -- all wins against the Phillies -- to increase their season total to an American League-leading 49 through 35 games.
Their 178 runs are second-most among AL teams.
Edwin Encarnacion, who homered in his third straight game, smacked two on Thursday and had three RBIs to lead the Blue Jays. His solo shot in the second inning was his fifth of the season and the 200th of his career.
Juan Francisco homered for the second straight night and was 3-for-3 at the plate.
Francisco, who was signed to a Minor League contract in April, has carried a big bat since getting called up to the Blue Jays, but there have been questions about where he fits into the lineup when Brett Lawrie returns from his hamstring injury.
The 26-year-old has been filling in at third base and has contributed mostly sound defense, although it's his bat that's been doing the talking.
"We'll find a way to get him at bats, I'll put it that way," Gibbons said. "He deserves it. We're better with him in there. It sure looks that way to me."
The fact that 18 of the runs the Blue Jays have generated in the past three games have came against A.J. Burnett, Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee is a testament to the offensive ability the team possesses.
"We're not beating average Joes," said Gibbons. "We're taking it to some pretty good [pitchers]."
Burnett, a former Blue Jay, was dealt the loss for the visitors on Thursday, allowing seven runs (six earned) on nine hits over six innings. He gave up three home runs.
R.A. Dickey earned the win on the mound. The 39-year-old knuckleballer pitched 6 1/3 innings and allowed three runs on seven hits. He threw two wild pitches, walked three and struck out a season-high eight hitters.
It was the third consecutive start he hasn't allowed a home run. Through eight starts last season, he'd given up eight. This year he's surrendered three.
The power-hitting Encarnacion kick-started the Blue Jays' offense, taking a 1-1 offering from Burnett deep to left field and into the second deck, tying the game at 1 in the bottom of the second.
That spurred a rally that saw Francisco double to left before he advanced to third on a wild pitch.
Adam Lind brought him home on a groundout, and it was 2-1 Blue Jays. Colby Rasmus then let loose his ninth homer of the season to make it 3-1 Blue Jays after two.
"It's something that we knew we could do," Encarnacion said of his team's prowess at the plate. "We have a good ballclub with a lot of guys that can swing the bat. If we continue to swing the bat the way we are right now, we're going to have a great year."
In the third, Jose Reyes got in on the action, leading off the inning with a ground-rule double before swiping third -- his first of two stolen bases on the night. He later scored for a 4-1 lead.
Those four runs were more than Burnett had given up in his previous four starts combined, and the eight hits the Blue Jays put up by the fourth inning were the most he'd allowed all season.
"I wasn't on the corners at all. Sinker was middle. And that's what big league hitters are going to do to you when balls are running over the middle of the plate," said Burnett. "The hook was inconsistent. Had it at times. But that's the bottom line -- ball wasn't on the corners, they were on the middle of the plate."
Encarnacion and Francisco hit back-to-back blasts in the seventh off Phils reliever Luis Garcia.
Lind made his return to the lineup felt. The designated hitter came off the 15-day disabled list with a bang, knocking a two-run shot over the left-field wall in the sixth to put the game out of reach.
With his single in the seventh inning, Bautista has reached base safely in all 35 games this season, the longest such streak in the Major Leagues.

And a long one from Kanon:

The same days over and over again.
Within this endless dream, I wished for a morning that wouldn't come.
It's red...

and cold...
and warm...
and sad...
and happy...
and the same days are repeated.
I knew from a long time ago, from years ago.
Wandering in this dream...
Wishing for a dawn that wouldn't come...
I'm always in the same spot.
A ruckus with no voices, and a faceless person walks before me.
No one cares about just one little child.
I'm waiting for a person.
A person I know who won't come.
Someone I know I won't meet again.
For years and years
Within this repeating dream, I was always waiting
for a dawn that won't come...

Respect Life! Milwaukee has recently been identified as having the 4th highest poverty level among major metropolitan areas. Likewise, we acknowledge that poverty is a leading cause of immigration.
As the U.S. Bishops remind us:
All members of society have a special obligation to the poor and vulnerable. From the Scriptures and church teaching, we learn that the justice of a society is tested by the treatment of the poor. The justice that was the sign of God's covenant with Israel was measured by how the poor and unprotected -- the widow, the orphan, and the stranger -- were treated. The kingdom that Jesus proclaimed in his word and ministry excludes no one. Throughout Israel's history and in early Christianity, the poor are agents of God's transforming power. "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, therefore he has anointed me. He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor" (Lk. 4:18). This was Jesus' first public utterance. Jesus takes the side of those most in need. In the Last Judgment, so dramatically described in St. Matthew's Gospel, we are told that we will be judged according to how we respond to the hungry, the thirsty, the naked, the stranger. As followers of Christ, we are challenged to make a fundamental "option for the poor" -- to speak for the voiceless, to defend the defenseless, to assess life styles, policies, and social institutions in terms of their impact on the poor. This "option for the poor" does not mean pitting one group against another, but rather, strengthening the whole community by assisting those who are the most vulnerable. As Christians, we are called to respond to the needs of all our brothers and sisters, but those with the greatest needs require the greatest response.
Human rights are the minimum conditions for life in community. In Catholic teaching, human rights include not only civil and political rights but also economic rights. As Pope John XXIII declared, "all people have a right to life, food, clothing, shelter, rest, medical care, education, and employment." These means that when people are without a chance to earn a living, and must go hungry and homeless, they are being denied basic rights. Society must ensure that these rights are protected. In this way, we will ensure that the minimum conditions of economic justice are met for all our sisters and brothers.
Economic Justice for All, 1986, Sections 16 & 17

The Southwestern Community College District, located south of San Diego and extending to the U.S.—Mexico border, is one of 72 community college districts in the California Community College system. It serves as the primary source of college education for approximately 400,000 residents of the South San Diego County area including the communities of Bonita, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, National City, Nestor, Otay Mesa, Palm City, San Ysidro, Sunnyside, and Coronado.
The college began offering classes to 1,657 students in 1961, with temporary quarters in Chula Vista High School. Groundbreaking for the present 156-acre campus was in 1963 and by September 1964, initial construction was completed and classes were being held at the new campus on the corner of Otay Lakes Road and East H Street in Chula Vista.
In 1988, Southwestern College established its Higher Education Center at San Ysidro on the memorial site of the McDonald's tragedy. The college again expanded its off-campus locations in 1998 by establishing the Higher Education Center at National City, and in 2007, the Higher Education Center at Otay Mesa officially opened.
In addition to its centers, Southwestern College also provides off-campus classes at several extension sites throughout the district and operates an Aquatic Center in Coronado in conjunction with the California Department of Boating and Waterways. Current enrollment—at all locations—exceeds 19,000 students. More than a half-million students have attended Southwestern College.
The Western Association of Schools and Colleges has continuously accredited Southwestern College. The college offers a comprehensive curriculum, preparing students for transfer to four-year colleges or universities as well as preparing students for jobs and career advancement. Of the more than 1,100 community colleges nationwide, Southwestern College consistently places in the top 100 in the number of associate degrees conferred.

Debian Lenny on LS-WXL
This guide will explain how to install Debian GNU/Linux "Lenny" on the LinkStation™ Duo LS-WXL using the Debian "debootstrap" procedure. The original kernel will be preserved, as well as the original bootloader (U-Boot).
Note that there's also a page on setting up Debian Squeeze that may be derived from this one: Debian Squeeze on LS-WXL
For Debian Squeeze on the LS-CHLv2 see Debian Squeeze on LS-CHLv2, which is largely based on this document and Debian_Squeeze_on_'V'_and_'X'_Series_(LS-WXL_and_others)
Basic idea:
- create a Debian system with debootstrap
- use the data partition as a temporary root
- replace the old filesystem with the new one
This guide will ask you to reformat partitions, delete existing data, etc. All of these actions may void your warranty, destroy your data, etc. In general you can receive help from the community or from the Buffalo forums but bear in mind that every problem you may encounter is ultimately up to you to solve. You do it at your own risk.
This guide is based on the procedure for installing Debian on LS-CHLv2 and was developed using the LS-WXL/E version. This guide should also work for the LS-WXL/R1 variants.
This guide suggests to install blstools, a small set of utilities developed for this hardware to enable some operations which would not be possible from a plain Debian install:
- turn the unit off from the on-off-auto switch
- turn unit blinking LEDs to still blue when boot is complete
- resume blinking when the unit is shutting down
- use the USB port
Please note that the Armel Debian "micro_evtd" package will NOT work on LS-WXL because of different hardware.
- 1 Preliminary steps
- 2 Prepare a Debian Lenny root filesystem
- 3 Installation
- 3.1 Create an initrd
- 3.2 Installing the Debian rootfs
- 3.3 Post-installation setup
- 4 Building the Debian kernel
- 5 References
Preliminary steps
Obtain root access to the linkstation
You are supposed to start from an "open" Stock Firmware, that is stock software that you can telnet to,
Follow this guide to get telnet root console access to the LS.
Follow this guide to SSH as root to the LS.
Backup the LS
If you have any important data on the LS you definitely need to make a backup.
Even if you don't, you'd better take a snapshot of the vital disk partitions (first and second partition). So you will be able to easily revert to the original stock distribution. [forum post] explains how to do it.
Prepare a Debian Lenny root filesystem
This is derived from original debootstrap docs.
From the linkstation console download the Debian debootstrap utility and install it with dpkg:
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.10lenny1_all.deb dpkg -i debootstrap_1.0.10lenny1_all.deb
dpkg will complain of missing dependencies. Ignore it.
Note that for firmware 1.22 (and possibly others) Busybox isn't linked to ar so the debootstrap step below will fail.
which ar >/dev/null || ln -s /bin/busybox /usr/bin/ar # fix ar link mkdir debian-armel-rootfs debootstrap --verbose --arch armel lenny debian-armel-rootfs http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian
This step WILL take time. At the end you should get the following message:
I: Base system installed successfully.
Completing the debootstrap and preparing the rootfs
Most commands will be run in the chrooted environment of the newly created Debian Lenny install. In order to enter the chroot type
LANG=C chroot debian-armel-rootfs/ /bin/bash
to leave type exit.
Copy kernel modules from stock kernel
Kernel modules reside in /lib/modules/<kernel version>. Here we are using the stock kernel so we must copy them from the stock initrd to the new rootfs. This must be done from within a chrooted environment in the new system - won't work with stock software.
cp /boot/initrd.buffalo debian-armel-rootfs/tmp/ LANG=C chroot debian-armel-rootfs/ /bin/bash cd /tmp dd if=initrd.buffalo of=initrd.gz ibs=64 skip=1 gunzip initrd.gz mkdir INITRD mount -t ext2 -o loop initrd INITRD cp -R INITRD/lib/modules/* /lib/modules/ umount INITRD rmdir INITRD rm initrd*
Adding missing devices
Still in the chrooted environment.
Mount the proc filesystem - it can be mounted a number of times - and run the command to create device nodes in /dev (TODO: investigate dynamic devices with udev?):
mount -t proc proc /proc cd /dev MAKEDEV generic umount /proc
This will also take some time while all device nodes are created.
Apt setup
Apt will complain about packages without verification if this step is not performed.
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list, use the appropriate debian mirror
# Debian packages for lenny deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian lenny main # Uncomment the deb-src line if you want 'apt-get source' # to work with most packages. # deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian lenny main deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib # deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib # deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib
Perform an update
apt-get update
The final upgrade step can be performed later once the installation is finished.
Install mdadm
ln -s /sbin/MAKEDEV /dev # mdadm install expects to see this apt-get --no-install-recommends install mdadm
Ignore the "(failed to load MD subsystem)" error.
Update mdadm.conf:
exit # exit from chroot cp /etc/mdadm.conf debian-armel-rootfs/etc/mdadm/ LANG=C chroot debian-armel-rootfs/ /bin/bash # back again
Configuring locale
Install and configure the locales. Suggestion is to install at least the en_US.UTF-8 and your native language locale (e.g. it_IT.UTF-8, de_DE.UTF-8, etc).
apt-get install locales dpkg-reconfigure locales
Editing /etc/fstab
Create /etc/fstab:
cat >/etc/fstab <<EOF # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # file system mount point type options dump pass /dev/md2 / xfs defaults,noatime 0 1 /dev/md0 /boot ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev 0 2 /dev/md10 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 EOF
Partition /dev/md2 contains the shared directory which will be used as a temporary root before the final installation. Make sure that a backup of this partition is made if it contains important data.
If the LS has only a single drive attached, change /dev/md2 to either /dev/sda6 or /dev/sdb6 depending on which slot the drive is inserted.
Edit /etc/network/interfaces to match your LAN configuration. My LS gets all information from DHCP:
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or # /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information. # We always want the loopback interface. auto lo iface lo inet loopback
# DHCP for Ethernet connection auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp
# Example static IP setup: (broadcast and gateway are optional) # auto eth1 # iface eth1 inet static # address 192.168.0.42 # network 192.168.0.0 # netmask 255.255.255.0 # broadcast 192.168.0.255 # gateway 192.168.0.1
Create /etc/hosts
cat >/etc/hosts <<EOF 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost EOF
Create /etc/hostname:
cat >/etc/hostname <<EOF <your hostname> EOF
Replace <your hostname> with a sensible name.
Install SSHD
apt-get install openssh-server passwd root
Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and make sure that the following line is present and uncommented:
PermitRootLogin yes
Prepare the rootfs archive
Clean up the installation, leave the chrooted environment and tar it up:
aptitude clean exit tar zcvf lenny-armel-rootfs.tgz -C debian-armel-rootfs .
Now you have a complete rootfs for Debian Lenny armel.
We will reuse the existing root partition to store the debian rootfs. The data partition will be used as a temporary root so that this installation will be performed right on the LS itself. It is necessary to have a backup of the data partition if it contains important stuff.
If you want to change the RAID type for the data partition, it is better to use the web interface before switching to the full Debian setup.
Create an initrd
An initrd is necessary to boot debian using a raid partition.
We need busybox to create a minimal initrd. Note that we need to go back to the chrooted environment.
chroot debian-armel-rootfs/ /bin/bash apt-get install busybox
Install uboot files:
apt-get install uboot-mkimage
Create and mount an ext2 image file:
cd /tmp dd if=/dev/zero of=initrd bs=1k count=0 seek=3K mke2fs -F -m 0 -b 1024 initrd tune2fs -c0 -i0 initrd mkdir INITRD mount -o loop initrd INITRD
Might you want to create a bigger initrd, the max size of the uncompressed initrd is 8388544 bytes.
Create directory structure and the device nodes:
mkdir -p INITRD/{bin,lib,dev,etc/mdadm,proc,sbin} cp -a /dev/{null,console,tty,sd{a,b,c,d}?,md*} INITRD/dev/
Copy busybox, mdadm and their dependencies:
cp /bin/busybox INITRD/bin/ cp /sbin/mdadm INITRD/sbin cp /lib/{libm.so.6,libc.so.6,libgcc_s.so.1,ld-linux.so.3} INITRD/lib
The dependencies can be determined using the commands:
ldd /bin/busybox ldd /sbin/mdadm
Create a linuxrc:
cat > INITRD/linuxrc <<EOF #!/bin/busybox sh # Mount the /proc and /sys filesystems. mount -t proc none /proc mount -t sysfs none /sys echo 'DEVICE /dev/sd??*' > /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf mdadm -Eb /dev/sd??* >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf mdadm -As --force # use /dev/md1 as root # echo "0x901" > /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev # use /dev/md2 as root echo "0x902" > /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev # use /dev/sda6 as root # echo "0x806" > /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev # use /dev/sdb6 as root # echo "0x822" > /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev # Clean up. umount /proc umount /sys EOF chmod +x INITRD/linuxrc
Uncomment the relevant line if you use a different temporary root partition.
Generate an initrd for temporary root partition:
umount INITRD gzip initrd mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x0 -e 0x0 -n initrd -d initrd.gz initrd.buffalo
Next we need to create another initrd for the final installation:
gunzip initrd.gz mount -o loop initrd INITRD
Edit linuxrc to use /dev/MD1 as root:
# use /dev/md1 as root echo "0x901" > /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev
Or change it to whatever partition you may want later.
umount INITRD gzip initrd mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x0 -e 0x0 -n initrd -d initrd.gz initrd.buffalo.final rmdir INITRD
Copy initrd:
exit mv /boot/initrd.buffalo /boot/initrd.buffalo.old cp debian-armel-rootfs/tmp/initrd.buffalo* /boot/
Installing the Debian rootfs
This will be a two step process. We first boot debian using a temporary rootfs and then transfer it to it final partition.
If you are using two hard disks, /dev/md2 will be the temporary partition and /dev/md1 will be the final destination. If you are using a single drive, then /dev/sda6 or /dev/sdb6 will be the temporary partition.
Install rootfs in temporary partition
Untar the rootfs and copy the backup:
tar xvzf lenny-armel-rootfs.tgz -C /mnt/array1/ cp lenny-armel-rootfs.tgz /mnt/array1/
Use /mnt/disk1 or /mnt/disk2 instead of /mnt/array1 if you are using a single drive.
Reboot and pray that it works. :)
After rebooting, login to the new system.
Install rootfs in /dev/md1
Format /dev/md1, use whatever filesystem that you prefer:
mkfs.ext3 /dev/md1 tune2fs -c0 -i0 /dev/md1
Mount it under /mnt and extract the rootfs:
mount /dev/md1 /mnt tar xvzf /lenny-armel-rootfs.tgz -C /mnt cp /lenny-armel-rootfs.tgz /mnt/root # make a copy
Edit /mnt/etc/fstab to reflect the changes:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # file system mount point type options dump pass /dev/md1 / ext3 defaults,noatime 0 1 /dev/md0 /boot ext3 ro,nosuid,nodev 0 2 /dev/md10 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
Use the correct initrd:
cd /boot mv initrd.buffalo initrd.buffalo.initial cp initrd.buffalo.final initrd.buffalo
Note: make sure the /boot is mounted! You may have to manually mount it to complete the above step.
Reboot and pray that it works. :)
Post-installation setup
Setup data partition
The existing data partition can be mounted on the home directory as-is without formatting but the rootfs files must be manually deleted.
The other approach is to start clean and format it. Note that the EXT3 was chosen as the filesystem for the data partition.
Replace /dev/md2 with either /dev/sda6 or /dev/sdb6 if you are using a single drive.
mkfs.ext3 -m0 /dev/md2 tune2fs -c0 -i0 /dev/md2
Update /etc/fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # file system mount point type options dump pass /dev/md1 / ext3 defaults,noatime 0 1 /dev/md2 /home ext3 defaults,noatime 0 2 /dev/md0 /boot ext3 ro,nosuid,nodev 0 2 /dev/md10 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
Mount /home
mount /home
Add user
Issue the following command
adduser <username>
Configuring timezone
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Useful packages
Anyone would need these:
apt-get install sudo less usbutils bzip2 mc linuxlogo psmisc
Ntpd ensures that your Linkstation clock stays in sync with global time servers.
apt-get install ntp
As told above, blstools are a set of utilities which enable LS-CHL/XHL/WXL hardware-specific features otherwise unavailable from a plain Debian Lenny installation.
In order to install the latest blstools, smartmontools is required:
apt-get install smartmontools
Download the package from the blstools project page
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/blstools/releases/blstools-0.2.0.tar.gz tar zxf blstools-0.2.0.tar.gz cd blstools-0.2.0 ./install.sh /etc/init.d/lsmonitor start
The following features are installed:
lsmonitor (/etc/init.d/lsmonitor)
This is a daemon that is automatically started when the system boots. You don't need to call it directly.
lsmonitor stops the blue led from flashing and provides a reassuring, still blue light. Also, when you move the switch in "off" position lsmonitor initiates system shutdown (which is nice isn't it?)
usb (/etc/init.d/usb)
Powers on and off the USB interface.
When you want to connect a USB disk to the Linkstation you should first call:
sudo /etc/init.d/usb start
and then you will be able to mount the USB drive to the desired location (generally, the device will be /dev/sdb1). Once done, in order to save power you can unmount the mounted volume and issue:
sudo /etc/init.d/usb stop
to disable the USB device.
NFS kernel
Note: Some export problems were encountered using this kernel. Compiling a Debian kernel is the preferred approach.
The kernel provided on this page can also be used for LS-WXL.
Download and extract kernel and modules:
wget http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/Users/kenatonline/NFSKernel/nfs-kernel-feroceon-kw.tgz tar xzf nfs-kernel-feroceon-kw.tgz boot lib
Install and reboot:
mount -o remount,rw /boot mv /boot/uImage.buffalo /boot/uImage.buffalo.old cp boot/uImage.buffalo /boot/ cp -a lib/modules/126.96.36.199kenatonline /lib/modules/ reboot
Install nfs
apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap
Check if server is running:
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server status
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.510-2_all.deb apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions libapt-pkg-perl dpkg -i webmin_1.510-2_all.deb
For more information, please refers to Webmin to remotely administer your LinkStation
Building the Debian kernel
Caution: Make sure that you have physical access to the drives and a linux box just in case you messed up with the the kernel configuration. At the moment, there is no known way of gaining root access when the device is in EM mode.
The kernel can be natively compiled or cross compiled using an external Debian PC.
Install the following packages under root:
apt-get install build-essential fakeroot uboot-mkimage debhelper python libncurses5-dev
Update /etc/apt/sources.list to be able to download the Squeeze kernel sources:
echo deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian squeeze main >> /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update
Install the kernel sources (this command can be run as a normal user)
apt-get -t squeeze source linux-2.6
Download the patch and sample config file (for linux-2.6-2.6.32-30):
wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=vFRr3zAX -O patch.lswxl wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=2R6sJ0ZX -O config.lswxl
Native compilation
cd linux-2.6-2.6.32 make -f debian/rules source cd debian/build/source_armel_none/
apply the necesary patches, but review them before you apply them, as the kernel patches changes every week
patch -Np1 -i ~/patch.lswxl
cp ~/config.lswxl .config make uImage modules cp arch/arm/boot/uImage uImage.buffalo.debian make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=./modules
On my LS, the compilation took around 1.5 hrs.
Cross compilation
cd linux-2.6-2.6.32 make -f debian/rules.gen source_armel_none
apply the necesary patches, but review them before you apply them, as the kernel patches changes every week
patch -Np1 -i ~/patch.lswxl
cd debian/build/source_armel_none/ patch -Np1 -i ../../../../patch.lswxl cp ../../../../config.lswxl .config make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- uImage modules mv arch/arm/boot/uImage uImage.buffalo.debian make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=./modules
Get yourself root access, and get write access to the boot fs
su mount -o remount,rw /boot
If blstools is installed, this program must first be disabled or removed. Otherwise, the system will just automatically reboot.
chmod a-x /etc/init.d/lsmonitor
Copy the kernel to the boot directory, create a backup of the old version:
mv /boot/uImage.buffalo /boot/uImage.buffalo.old cp uImage.buffalo.debian /boot/uImage.buffalo
Copy the modules:
cp -a modules/lib/modules/2.6.32 /lib/modules
make the correct realtime clock device, with this kernel settings it is:
mknod /dev/rtc c 254 0
Reboot and enjoy your new kernel.
blstools Replacement
This is the replacement lsmonitor script. This uses the sysfs GPIO interface instead of the buffalo specific proc interface. Also this script monitors the temperature of both drives.

Xiao-Jing Wang, M.D.,Ph.D. Research One North(RC1-North), Room email@example.com: 303-724-3001
Dr. Xiao-Jing Wang, M.D., Ph.D., is currently a John S. Gates endowed chair and Director of head & neck cancer research program at UCD, Professor in Department of Pathology, and has joint appointments in the departments of Otolaryngology, Dermatology, and Craniofacial Biology at UCD. Dr. Wang's laboratory has developed the first genetically engineered mouse model that develops head& neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) with full penetrance. These lesions mimic human HNSCC at genetic and pathology levels. HNSCC represents the 6th most common cancer type worldwide and its prognosis has not been improved in the past 20 years. Dr. Wang has brought the best expertise to this campus to continuously develop various HNSCC mouse models, which will add an invaluable resource to this campus for evaluating the mechanisms and efficacy of the existing clinical trials for HNSCC prevention and treatments. Research in Wang laboratory uses both mouse models and human cancer samples for cross-species comparisons. The current activities in Wang laboratory include:
In addition to cancer biology, Dr. Wang's laboratory studies molecular mechanisms of inflammatory skin diseases and normal stem cell fate determination during embryonic skin development.
Research Activities:
TGFb signaling in wound healing – TGFb1 has both positive and negative effects on wound healing. We will utilize gene-switch transgenic mice to study the stage specific effects of TGFb signaling on wound healing.
TGFb1 in skin diseases – Our transgenic mice overexpressing the latent TGFb1 in the skin mimic psoriasis and fibrosis. We will study the molecular basis of TGFb1-induced diseases.

I've upgraded from Sencha Touch 2.0.3 to 2.1 in the hope that performance will be improved for the Android app I'm working on and have encountered the following issues:
-- the function setTabBarPosition() is no longer working or is extremely buggy. I am trying to move the tabBar from left to right.
-- Pull to refresh, which was working before now causes a javascript error so I have had to comment it out to get the app working. Code and error follow.
The error in this case isCode:plugins: [ { xclass: 'Ext.plugin.PullRefresh', pullRefreshText: 'Pull to refresh', refreshFn: function(plugin){ MyApp.app.story_offset = 0; MyApp.app.story_limit = 10; plugin.up().getStore().load({ params: { start: MyApp.app.story_offset, finish: MyApp.app.story_limit }, callback: function(){ Ext.each(Ext.query('.post'), function(post){ post.style.display = 'inline'; }); MyApp.app.getController('Main').updateUiColour(); Ext.ComponentQuery.query('storylistpanel button')[0].show(); } }); } } ],Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'insert' of undefined
-- I have also had to replace 'jsonpcache' with just 'jsonp' as including the former would result in build errors when attempting to run 'sencha app build package'. The error is attached as a text file (too awkward to paste in here). Text file will be pasted in next post. I cannot attach as I do not have permission.
Has anyone else here encountered these problems. My questions are:
-- Has Pull To Refresh been replaced? If so, what replaces it?
-- Has anyone encountered the same problems with jSonPCache? If so, can they be fixed?

Fine for lunch
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This is a small lock you can keep in your pocket and use to lock your board at lunch. It should slow down someone snagging your board off the ski rack while you are inside for 30 min. I wouldn't expect it to deter anyone who is seriously motivated or someone who has even hand tools.
Does what it's intended to do...
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
...just don't have unrealistic expectations. This isn't going to stop someone with the sole intention of stealing a board from stealing your board. I cheap pair of snips, or even a strong amount of force will break this thing.
It WILL provide a deterrence, and it will prevent some punk kid from stealing your board on a whim (no one has cutters with them on a whim).
Would I buy it again? Probably not. I bought it b/c I was only a few bucks away from free shipping, so the price difference between this and shipping on my order was negligible. It is lightweight, unobtrusive, so you really don't know it's there. I used it a few times. For what it set me back, I'm happy with it.
But I would not recommend getting this as a "lock it and forget it" solution. Always be somewhere where you can at least have eyes on your board.
Worst P.O.S. ever
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The most disappointing Burton product of all time. The cable is hair thin, and the housing is crap. It either froze solid, or just got stuck internally because I couldn't get it unlocked after securing my board for lunch. Used it maybe 2 or 3 times. Had to boot-stomp it, which popped the damn thing right apart. Not very secure in the aspect.
Great lock
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great lock, great added protection, its not super thick cable obviusly but it might make your board a little less desiable and draw attention to the board next to yours that might not have a lock. Its a crazy world out there so watch your boards everyone.
Easy and Cheap Protection
I bought this lock after doing a decent amount of research and so far so good. I've been boarding 6 times this season and it works every time. The lock itself is actually really close to the size of the picture which is much smaller than expected and definitely a good thing. Setting the combination is fairly simple and once you learn how is easy to rinse and repeat.
The only complaints about this lock is the wire is a little on the short side due to the compact design. When I go up on the mountain I typically roll with at least 2 people and this can only lock 2 boards at the most to a rack. Even then it takes some creative placement to be able to pull off. Also, it can only be locked while the combination is selected so if someone REALLY pays attention to you locking it they could remember the combo while you're locking it up.
That being said it's still the best lock that I could find that is long enough to lock 2 boards and still fits in any jacket or pant pocket and I highly recommend it.
Cheap insurance
Ive used this lock for maybe 4 years with no problems. It is light and compact. You can easily lock 2 boards. Way better than leaving your board unlocked.
Terrible lock
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I purchased not one, but TWO of these locks - one for my wife and one for me. I chose this lock because it was small and could easily fit in my pocket without being cumbersome. And it had the Burton name associated with it (I wrongly assumed this would equate to quality). And it was available in the ski shop when I was purchasing skis.
I wish I had taken the time to research it first and read the public reviews on this lock. Had I done that I would have chosen another brand. I've seen dozens of bad reviews stating that the lock became "stuck" in the locked position and scissors/wire cutters were necessary to remove it. On THAT ALONE I would have walked away from this lock.
My main issue with this lock is that THE NUMBERS WORE OFF. They didn't just wear off on one lock; they wore off on BOTH locks. This is after only 2 years. The lock is no longer functional if one cannot read the numbers.
Burton refused to help me out even though I sent them pictures showing the defect.
Stay away from Burton.
Does the job
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
By no means is this heavy duty. The cable can easily be cut with a small set of pliers; but it will at least deter the theft somewhat. I mainly bought it since it was small to use the few times the hills are jammed on long weekends.
I won't buy it
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have used it several times only (the season started 3 weeks ago) and at first it worked good, but yesterday it has changed the code and I was not able to unlock it (had to use the scissors haha). I'm really not sure how it happened, I used it in cafe and it worked fine and then in the next 30 minutes the code has changed and I even didn't notice how! So I bought Dakine lock with a key, I believe it's a better option.
Good enough but needs improvment.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had this lock for the pass couple of seasons. It is really only good for locking up one board but you can push it and get a second board tied in.
Lock is lightweight and compact. I just toss it in my hip pocket and forget it is there till it is needed.
That being said after two seasons it is starting to wear, cable does not retract as well as it used to and because of the way that you set the combination you can sometimes accidentally change the number by one position when you lock the cable.
Works!!! Any snowboarder that would steal a board from another snowboarder should be beaten to death, but it happens. With this, no one will snatch your baby.
Rock solid easy to use lock
Great lock, I'd highly recommend. I've been boarding for 15+ yrs, always hearing horror stories of boards disappearing. This yr I went all out an bought two nice boards.. so I figured better safe than sorry. This lock is extremely easy to use, easy to program, and will just add that extra safety you need for your board.
you have to take your gloves off to get you com right
Sorry, I wanted to like this lock.
The painted on numbers wore off after just 10 days at the slopes. Lock is completely useless now. Bought the Dakine lock, seems to be made better.
Gets the job done
Works fine for me when locking up a single board.
review Flagged as inappropriate or irrelevant to the product. Click here to view.
Worth it...
this thing is awesome, cord is long enough to keep 2 boards locked up
horrible lock
Aside from the fact that this lock feels like a hunk of plastic that you can smash with ease, the cable on it is way too short. Maybe that's my fault for shopping online, but I bought this so the cable could wrap around multiple boards to be locked up. It barely stretches long enough to properly secure my board, let alone a second or third. The recoil spring feels like it's getting stuck already, and I haven't even used this product yet. I would not recommend this to anyone who takes locking their board up seriously.
Don't Get Jacked
Why spend you hard earned money only to let someone else use your gear
Anti theft
great lock, portable and light weight. well worth the investment if you care about your setup. its also easy to program your code.

If his party failed to achieve a majority in the election toward which Canada seems propelled - if the Conservatives were unable to increase their seat count, or even if they lost a few - politics watchers say Mr. Harper could hang on to his party's top job.
Mr. Harper's leadership will remain unchallenged even if the party does not gain ground "as long as the Conservatives continue to form the government," said Tom Flanagan, a University of Calgary political science professor who is a close friend and former campaign chief of Mr. Harper's.
Harper's biggest asset, he has created an atmosphere where he is clearly the central figure, in a sense he is the Conservative Party (see website). A concerted effort to centralize control, none of the surrogates given much latitude. There is no sense of any heir apparent in the Conservative ranks, Harper has ensured that everything flows from his office, others are left to parrot.
With all that said, I'm still not sure I buy the argument that Harper is safe, should he maintain, or even lose a few seats in the next election. The looming election will be Harper's third as a leader, which means that Canadians know him well, plenty of time to form concrete opinions. Should the Conservatives fail to expand, cling to another fragile minority, it seems reasonable for people to start wondering if Harper is the right person.
The article also mentions Dion, with some caveat that should the Liberals gain more seats, he may hold his position. I'm not buying that for a second, anything less than victory, Dion is quickly removed, there are just too many doubters waiting in the weeds. Conservatives are unanimous in their belief that Dion is an exceptionally weak leader, which should translate into questioning, should Harper fail to capitalize. It's hard to see Harper remain strong, should he not benefit from the perceived advantage over Dion, if he were to lose seats, a fairly negative verdict.
I don't see a scenario where a sitting PM is ousted, but to say Harper would carry on, business as usual, should he fail to gain seats or maintain, seems a simplistic view. I would imagine some frustration, and the beginnings of a whisper campaign to establish a successor. Harper's iron clad hold on the party would be erased, he would lack the authority to squelch any dissent. Three tries, the last against a perceived gift in Dion, and no progress, maybe a minor setback- doesn't sound like the stuff of firm hold from here. Safe, but weakened.

1. Re: GTX 560 Ti - not enough memory. So now what?Alan Craven Mar 11, 2012 5:06 AM (in response to Prizm4)
There is not necessarily a problem with shortage of graphics card RAM when you have a 1 GB card. I have a GTX460 with 1 GB of RAM, which is far weaker than your card, and I do not get the error. But then I have 32 GB of system RAM, and I am editing a relatively easy Video format.
Before anyone can answer your question you need to say more about your system, the image formats and sizes ("more than 1080p"???) you are editing, and the complexity of your projects.
2. Re: GTX 560 Ti - not enough memory. So now what?RjL190365 Mar 11, 2012 10:36 AM (in response to Prizm4)
Here is the problem:
In a properly functioning system, if a scene requires more RAM than the GPU has, then the entire scene will get switched entirely to the software-only mode (meaning that GPU acceleration will be disabled for that frame). However, if you get error messages like that, more likely you have a problem (usually of configuration) somewhere inside the system. In your case, your work might have demanded more than 6.5GB of RAM just to render (remember, Windows itself eats up 1.5GB if RAM) - and then, your Windows page file might have been disabled completely or restricted to an overly small value in your system configuration.
3. Re: GTX 560 Ti - not enough memory. So now what?Prizm4 Mar 11, 2012 6:45 PM (in response to RjL190365)
Thanks for your replies.
I'm running an i7 2600K, 8GB RAM, Asus P8H67-I Deluxe, Premiere Pro CS 5.5.2. My last project that it crashed on is 1080 25fps, with many of the images being around 4000x2000. It's basically slideshow material with a couple Sapphire effects here and there. I've just gone in and switched off all Sapphire plugins in the project just incase that might be the problem, and went to render the project. Same error.
I get the same error occasionally on other projects. Sometimes it will fully render with no problem, but other times it will conk out fairly quickly. Some projects seems more susceptible to the crash than others, and I have to switch to software mode.
Here's a screenshot of the error:

Thanks for that. It will be something to keep in mind for future projects. With so many people having this problem with large images, I'm guessing the bug has been reported? If the project can render with software only, then shouldn't it be able to render with hardware (even if it takes longer)?
Sometimes you need that high res for close-ups, zooms, etc.

I use very few pictures, so I don't know if this is a "bug" or just a resource limitation... use (example here) 10 large pictures and you are OK, use 100 and you crash

7. Re: GTX 560 Ti - not enough memory. So now what?the_wine_snob Mar 18, 2012 9:28 AM (in response to Prizm4)
I agree with John T. in that it is a resource issue.
While PrPro, as of CS 5, has added better Scaling algorithms with MPE, overly-large Still Images still exact a toll on performance and resources. There are just too many pixels to push around.
If you really do need Images that large, and have enough of them, you might want to explore an AfterEffects workflow, as AE handles Still Imges differently, than does PrPro.
Good luck,
8. Re: GTX 560 Ti - not enough memory. So now what?Prizm4 Apr 7, 2012 5:34 PM (in response to Prizm4)
I am still getting this problem, and it seem irrelevant to the size of the images in my project. For instance in my current project, most of my images are well under 1920x1080, with only a couple creeping over said resolution. Yet it still crashes. All I'm doing is text and images, and in this case a BCC starfield generator in the background. I don't do extremely complex work.
I wonder if the video card is overheating? If it was, it seems odd that it would only crash Premiere with nothing else affected. Though I can hear the video card fans spin up when playing back a project or rendering, so I know the card is being taxed at the time.

Download Speccy and take a screen capture of the temps before and after running Premiere.

Possibly your video card is not getting enough good, firm power; what power supply are you using?

What if for example I'm full powered - a gust hits me and Ì'm going to be overpowered. I have sheeted the Bar out for minimum power - but to get less power with the adjuster - I have to Sheet the Bar IN Again (creating more power in this moment)?

|Before making any changes to your system, please read everything carefully and try to understand what you are doing. If you're modifying any files on your system, keep copies of the unmodified version and be sure you can revert to those old version - even if your Xserver is not starting any longer.
|Some of the changes mentioned below are said to increase the temperature of your GPU. In any case, monitor your graphic card to make sure it isn't getting too hot!
Several popular graphics cards out there - especially NVIDIA ones - exhibit performance problems with KDE4. These performance hits mostly concern Plasma - the KDE4 desktop - and KWin - the KDE window-manager. Generally speaking this isn't due to KDE4 being unoptimized but a problem with the cards' graphics drivers. This page encompasses certain problems that might arise and how to get rid of them.
For both of the big graphics chip manufacturers there's 2 seperate graphics drivers each:
Update: Nvidia has recently issued a new beta driver which is supposed to address most of the performance problems seen with KDE4. It can be downloaded in [1] 64bit and [2] 32bit. You need to add some options to your xorg.conf and enable certain feature at runtime, see [3] this post on the NvNews forums for details. Note: Only install beta drivers if you know what you are doing.
Update 2: NVIDIA have released a new version 177.68 of beta drivers which fixes a couple of bugs and should improve performance with the KDE 4 OpenGL compositing manager. More info and downloads here.
|TODO: section about radeonhd and fglrx driver - I don't own an ATI card Lemma
It's usually advisable to stay up-to-date as improvements are being made in the drivers. Thus a first step in improving your KDE4 experience should be checking your current driver and updating if it's outdated. Please refer to your distribution's documentation on how to do that.
While it might further increase performance, I do NOT recommend installing beta quality drivers because your system's stability will most likely suffer.
Attributes set using the nvidia-settings utility aren't permanently saved. Thus you have to set them every time you restart your Xserver. This can be done conveniently by adding the lines to set the features to your ~/.xinitrc.
KDE4's systemsettings allows you to tweak some kwin settings as well. You can find the settings in Desktop -> Desktop Effects -> Advanced Options. Depending on your card either OpenGL or XRender might work better. For OpenGL changing the OpenGL mode might change performance as well. Please bear in mind that changing some of the tweaks mentioned below might force you to change your settings.
(note from a user)* Not selecting "Use Vsync" helped a lot in a gforce 6800 (and also on a GeForce 8400M GT).
If for some reason your Xserver hangs after hitting the Apply button on the dialog and your settings get reverted because you can't confirm your changes in time, try again. Usually it will be faster on one of the subsequent tries. If it doesn't you can still change your settings in ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc.
This section summarizes several symptoms you might encounter and tries to explain possible causes.
$ XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 konsoleon the command-line and try to resize the new konsole window (setting the environment variable XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS turns off ARGB visuals). If it resizes without problems, then this is certainly one of the problems you're facing.
Note: I have found that this fixes Dolphin's preview delay too for me. Please confirm. --dpalacio 17:33, 27 July 2008 (CEST)
Section "Device" ... Option "BackingStore" "true" ... EndSection "Device"This works for some (eg. konsole) but unfortunately not all windows.
$ nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2This works for some (but unfortunately not all) NVIDIA cards.
Section "Device" ... Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" # optional, may improve performance but introduce visible artifacts # Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" ... EndSection "Device"
Performance will be somewhat better on older X servers (<=1.4.2) and significantly better on the latest prerelease X servers (>=184.108.40.2061) with this option.
$ nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphCache=1This works for some (but unfortunately not all) NVIDIA cards. Some cards reportedly work better using InitialPixmapPlacement=1 (or maybe even 3)
The Open Source radeon driver uses the older XAA hardware acceleration method. To work around this issue, you have to change the 2D acceleration method from XAA (X Acceleration Architecture) to the newer EXA. As this involves editing your xorg.conf file, bear in mind that such a modification may damage your system. Do it at your own risk.
To make the switch, edit your xorg.conf file (make a backup just in case) and locate the Device section for your graphics card. Add the line
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
before the "EndSection" line. If there is already a line with AccelMethod, change it from XAA to EXA. Save the file and restart the X server. Notice that EXA is still marked as unstable, and that some other applications such as some KDE3 programs may render incorrectly.
When using EXA it is strongly recommended to use a recent X server, at least 1.4.2 or even better the 1.5 release candidates.
