A kerning table, which makes special allowances for characters that don't fit together naturally, can reveal a lot about the personality of its designer. Every font pays special attention to the pair Va, but the font that includes Vr suggests a familiarity with French (vraie) or Dutch (vrouw). Pairs like Wn or Tx hint at an even broader perspective (Wnetrzne, Poland; Txipepovava, Angola), and the designer who kerns the ¥4 has presumably spent some time thinking about finance. Including ÅÇ is the mark of someone who's trying too hard: these letters don't nest together naturally, but nor do they appear together in any language.
When I first learned about kerning, mystifying to me was the presence of Yq in almost every one of Adobe's fonts. Adobe's early faces sometimes neglected far more common pairs, or even whole ranges of the character set — many fonts didn't kern periods, dashes, or quotation marks — but Yq was ever-present. When I met him in the early nineties, Adobe's Fred Brady hinted at why: located in northern California, Adobe's designers often had a thing for viniculture, and one of the world's most famous dessert wines is produced by Château D'Yquem.
We've included Yq as a standard kerning pair ever since, though I'd never gotten to see it in action until yesterday. Here, in the window of Sotheby's on Bond Street, is our Verlag typeface, Yq kern and all. There are kerns obscurer still that we're waiting to see in public, though I don't suppose I'll be seeing the 9th century Old English word wihxð (wax) in the window of Sotheby's anytime soon. —JH

As June Dairy Month approaches, dairy checkoff tools and resources help producers share their story with consumers on how they care for their animals and the environment while producing wholesome, nutritious milk.
Among the tools is the Telling Your Story program that includes workbooks and curricula designed to assist producers with skills such as:
- Developing a communications plan for their farm
- Delivering effective presentations
- Conducting media interviews
- Interacting in one-on-one/small group situations
- Engaging in social media venues, including Facebook and Twitter
Since March 2008, more than 5,400 dairy producers and 2,400 allied industry professionals have been trained by DMI and state and regional dairy promotion organizations.
"The dairy checkoff understands the importance of providing these resources and empowering dairy producers to be proactive in sharing our story with consumers," said Paul Rovey, Arizona dairy producer and chair of Dairy Management Inc., which manages the national dairy checkoff.
"It takes an industry-wide effort to help us tell our story. These tools allow us a unique opportunity to narrow the gap between our farms and our customers," he said.
Another valuable resource is the checkoff-funded www.dairyfarmingtoday.org website. The site educates consumers looking for information about the industry or who have concerns about the on-farm practices of modern U.S. dairy farms, including animal care and environmental stewardship.
Among the website's features are:
- A virtual dairy farm tour
- Dairy-related fact sheets for the media, thought leaders and consumers
- Stories from real dairy producers about their farms
- A "day in the life" feature that demonstrates the 24/7 nature of the typical dairy farm family
"This website continues to serve as a 'go-to' source for consumers to receive an up-close look at our industry and what it takes to produce nutritious milk each day," Rovey said.
For more information about the checkoff, visit www.dairycheckoff.com.

The best Water Experiences in Spain
This experience was incredible. My friend and I went looking forward to architecture and fun wine drinking and came out of the experience with so much more—our to...ur guide Luis was INCREDIBLE. He set the tone for the entire group, was super knowledgeable, funny, and met the needs of all the different personalities in our group of 16 people. Seriously if you go, I highly recommend having Luis as a guide. We also made amazing friends on the day that we later met up with and had even more Barcelona experiences with each other. The wine was great, the views were fantastic and the Basilica is gorgeous. This is a great opportunity to reach the outskirts of Barcelona and see what else the area has to offer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Ask for Luis to have a guide who brings the fun and couples it with the knowledge. A great way for us to start our trip in Spain. Read moreRead less
Yes, very nice experience and lots of options to choose from. Thank you Tinggly.
Fantastic experience, good information, friendly company and a very enjoyable evening out

Manage Your MedicationsManage Your Medications - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
Managing medication can be complicated, particularly if you are taking several, and treating different conditions.
Suggestions for managing medications:
It is important that you make sure you understand the exact dose and timing of each medication from your physician when he/she prescribes it. Verify the information with your pharmacist when you have the prescriptions filled.
If you go to different physicians for different conditions, it is extremely important to tell all of them about each medication you are taking. It may help to carry a list with you at all times. Ask your pharmacist for a medication wallet card that will help you keep an up-to-date list of your medications with you. Make sure your pharmacy has a record of all the medications that you take - including any over-the-counter medications.
Write your daily schedule for medications on a calendar or chart. Be sure to update the schedule each time your medication changes.
Follow the schedule exactly, and take the exact dosage prescribed by your physician.
Use a weekly or daily pill organizer - especially when taking several different medications - to help ensure that you get the right dose at the right time. Ask at your pharmacy to see what organizers are available.
Keep medications in their original containers - except for those you put in an organizer. The labels contain important information such as medication name, dosage, doctor's name, and expiration dates.
Do not take medication in the dark, when you are tired, or when you are distracted. You might take the wrong medication or too much. Ask for help, if needed, to find and take the correct medication.
Alcohol can interact with many different kinds of drugs. Talk with your physician or pharmacist whether it is safe to drink alcohol with any prescription or over-the-counter medication.
When children or grandchildren are around, keep medication containers out of reach, particularly those that do not have childproof caps.
Never take a medication that was prescribed for someone else. (See below for cautions about costs of taking medications not intended for you.)
If your physician has told you to discontinue a medication, dispose of it immediately. (See below for disposal recommendations.) Do not keep it for future needs. The cost of having side effects or a drug interaction if you accidentally take that medication would be greater than the cost of the medication.
Dispose of a medication once the expiration date has passed. Follow any specific disposal instructions on the drug label or patient information that accompanies the medication. If no instructions are given, crush and mix medications with coffee grounds, cat litter, or food scraps; seal them in a bag or a container (such as a margarine tub or jar) and discard them in the regular trash. Only strong opioid pain medications (like Lortab, Vicodin, Percocet, Norco, Oxycontin, MS Contin, Duragesic, and others) should be flushed in the toilet. Ask your pharmacist if you are not sure how to dispose of your medications.
Never stop taking a medication on your own - always get your physician's guidance. Some medications must be stopped gradually to avoid complications.
If the medication is making you feel sick or causing side effects that you find difficult to tolerate, talk to your physician about adjusting the dose or changing the medication.

Calling Mrs. Gene Hackman a Dirty Word Will Get You Backhanded
Legendary actor Gene Hackman may be 82 years old, but he's not too frail to defend his wife's honor. That's what a homeless dude learned the hard way when he called Mrs. Hackman a vile word that stars with a C and ends with a T.
TMZ reports that the two-time Oscar winner and his wife Betsy were leaving a restaurant in Sante Fe, N.M. on Tuesday when a residentially-challenged guy named Bruce Becker "approached them in a threatening manner."
The incident then got really nasty when Becker called Betsy a see-you-next-Tuesday, prompting the gallant Gene to bitchslap the man across the face. Because no one disses his lady, yo.
Becker called the cops, but after officers assessed the situation, they determined the smack was in self-defense. Thus far, no charges have been filed.
Gene was last seen throwing gang signs and yelling, "TELL YOUR FRIENDS WHERE THE HANDPRINT CAME FROM."

The Huawei Ascend W1 has passed certification in China. Supporting the CDMA 2000 network standard, the Windows Phone is well on the way to hitting stores in the market. We've previously covered news that the device will be present at CES 2013 early next year, which will open up the new year to a range of possibilities for the manufacturer.
Featuring a 4" WVGA display, 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 chip, 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage (with MicroSD extendability), 2000mAh battery, 5MP rear shooter (with front-facing camera) and NFC, the handset is certainly no slouch. It'll appeal to many who are looking for a new Windows Phone experience, but without the massive price tag.
The Ascend W1 comes in two colours, and have removable covers (exposing slots, battery, etc.) We're still waiting for the device to be unveiled for other markets, which will be interesting to see the company tackle the likes of HTC and Nokia.

Jawa Threatens Blog That Accused It Of Cramming, Gets Blog Taken Down By ISP
from the intimidation deptThe JAWA story continues. Yesterday, we posted about accusations from Verizon Wireless that JAWA was effectively "cramming" premium SMS charges onto users' bills, which came about following an investigation (and eventual lawsuit) by Texas regulators. The blog AZDisruptors.com has been highlighting some of the accusations against JAWA while most of the press had kept quiet on it. However, it appears the folks at JAWA don't like that. They sent a cease-and-desist to the operator of the blog (embedded below), Hamid Shojaee, that makes all sorts of accusations against him; claiming defamation, false light invasion of privacy, tortious interference with business relations and criminal harassment.
The letter also, oddly, accuses Shojaee of being a cyebersquatter, despite that having nothing whatsoever to do with what's being disputed here, and Shojaee clearly explains why he has the various domains he has. As for the specific legal threats against Shojaee, it's hard to see how the latter claims have any merit. The defamation claim is the key one, but considering that both the Texas attorney general and Verizon Wireless's lawsuits against JAWA seem to make similar claims, it's difficult to see the defamation claim standing. On top of that, since JAWA's CEO Jason Hope is clearly a public figure, the standard for defamation is much higher and, almost certainly, was not met by Shojaee. I'm guessing that JAWA wouldn't even want to get into the discovery phase of any such lawsuit -- meaning this threat letter feels a lot like a SLAPP. Arizona has an anti-SLAPP law... but it is very limited and almost certainly doesn't apply here, unfortunately (all the more reason for a federal anti-SLAPP law).
Separately, JAWA's lawyers contacted AZDisruptors.com's host, SquareSpace, and registrar, GoDaddy, demanding the site be taken down for these reasons. Ridiculously, SquareSpace complied -- without even contacting Shojaee first. This is problematic for a variety of reasons. First of all, SquareSpace has no legal requirement to takedown a site upon accusations of defamation. Section 230 protects it against liability in those circumstances. But, even more to the point, the fact that it would take down the site without first even hearing from Shojaee is really problematic and suggests that SquareSpace should not be trusted as a hosting provider.
Either way, Shojaee is fighting back. He got SquareSpace to put the site back up and has responded to JAWA's accusations against him with a lawyer, who seems well equipped to respond to such bullying. I've embedded the response letter below, but just a snippet:
Your letter, its accusations, and its conclusions are shocking. And you are wrong in every respect...Sounds like the attempt at intimidation isn't likely to work... Oh, and in the meantime, the press is starting to pick up on the story as well.
I can't close a letter without pointing out the obvious: your letter, instead of addressing Mr. Shojaee's accurate claims about Mr. Hope's business activities, maligns his character and accuses Mr. Shojaee of "fail[ing] to disclose your true motives to your readers." You then go on to list a number of web domains that Mr. Shojaee legally owns in connection with a legitimate business purpose.
The idea that Mr. Shojaee has done anything to apologize for is laughable. It is Mr. Hope who has built a company based on deception; it is Mr. Hope who has illegally used technology to bilk consumers out of millions; it is Mr. Hope who has chosen to interfere with my client's business...

Nashville Globe
1 Mar 1907
A week or so ago the attention of the public was called to an impatient conductor on the West Nashville line by a Globe reporter who witnessed the proceedings. That this car line is becoming notorious was plainly apparent last Sunday afternoon when a conductor by the name of Mann shot Mr. George Marshall through the arm on on Church street near Fifteenth avenue. Fortunately his injuries were slight. The ball entered his left arm, passing through the shoulder and lodging in his back. Dr. Coles, whose office is near the scene of the affray, attended to the wounded man, who, with his brother, was subsequently arrested, the charge being disorderly conduct. Both made bond. Mann was arrested at the transfer station on a charge of carrying a pistol with intent to commit murder.
Mr. Marshall states that he and his brother had some words with the conductor, who drew his pistol and ordered them from the car. After they got off the conductor shot at them. Mann says the brothers threatened him and he shot in self-defense. The trial was set for last Monday, but owing to Mr. Marshall's condition it was continued until Wednesday, whom Mann was bound over to the criminal court.

Woman held on $50,000 cash bail in attack on mother with baby in stroller
A 17-year-old boy allegedly lured his former girlfriend to a street near Savin Hill Station, saying he had a pair of sneakers to give their 8-month-old. When the young mother arrived with the baby in a stroller, authorities say, the boy held her down, while his new girlfriend stabbed her six times with a 10- to 12-inch-long butcher knife.
Samia Jones, 17, who allegedly wielded the knife, was ordered held today on $50,000 cash bail by Dorchester Municipal Court Judge Robert McKenna. McKenna slated a probable cause hearing for April 23. Jones faces charges of assault with intent to murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Jones struck a defiant pose during the hearing, making obscene gestures toward the media and sticking out her tongue. Defense attorney Alyssa Pelletier entered a not-guilty plea on her behalf.
Police responded at about 4:05 p.m. Monday to Boston Medical Center, where the victim said she was contacted by cellphone to meet Daquan Sparks, 17, on Midland Street near the station. The victim said Sparks met her there and restrained her while Jones attacked.
The victim sustained stab wounds to the torso, face, right leg, and back, according to a police report filed in the case.
The stab wounds punctured her spleen and liver, Assistant District Attorney Brian Brodigan said. Sparks also has a 4-month-old child with Jones.
Authorities followed a trail of blood leading to Jones's nearby apartment at 15 Midland St.
Detectives plan to seek an arrest warrant for Sparks, the police report said.

Google nabs aerial camera company
'We will photograph everything'
If you were getting worried that a full two weeks had passed without Google acquiring yet another company, you can now rest easy. Today, the lord of the acquisitions bagged ImageAmerica - a company that takes aerial photographs with its own airplanes and high-res cameras - as it looks to beef up imagery on its Google Earth and Google Maps services.
"We're excited about how ImageAmerica's technology will contribute to our mapping services down the road," wrote Steve Chou, a Google Earth and Maps product manager, on the company's Lat Long Blog. But he was quick to temper the excitement of Google users: "Since we're in the research and development phase right now, it may be some time before you see any of this imagery in Google Maps or Earth."
It turns out that ImageAmerica provided Google Earth with aerial images of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina hit in August of 2005, but Google wouldn't tell us much more. All we know is that the acquired company specializes in this sort of "digital orthoimagery" and likes to tag its tools with ridiculous names. ImageAmerica's former web site, recently shutdown by Google, trumpets its Beech Starship aircraft and DDP-2 (Direct Digital Panoramic) photography system. Evidently, this flying gear can grab ground-level details measuring no more than six inches long.
When we asked Google to give us a bit more info about the equipment's capabilities, the company simply pointed to those Katrina photos. "Even though this imagery is in black and white, you can see the level of detail is significantly greater than the non-high res imagery traditionally available in Earth/Maps," said a company spokesperson.
Between Earth and Maps, Google seems intent on serving up tightly woven digital photos of just about everything. Its ImageAmerica purchase comes just a few days after an eagle-eyed Gizmodo reader spotted a new fleet of Chevy Cobalts that will soon be snapping 360-degree photos for Google StreetView, the company's eye-level window onto the world. Enjoy your privacy while you can.®

Derek Mason, regarded as one of the nation's top coordinators, is the new head football coach of the Vanderbilt Commodores.
Mason, who served as associate head coach and Willie Shaw Director of Defense for the 2013 Pac-12 champion Stanford Cardinal, will be introduced Saturday as the Commodores' 28th head coach at McGugin Athletics Center by Vanderbilt Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos and Director of Athletics David Williams II. The event, scheduled at 10 a.m. CST, will be live streamed on the university's athletics website, vucommodores.com. Additional information, updates and more will be available on vanderbilt.edu/coach.
"Derek Mason is the leader we trust to continue the challenging but exciting work that has elevated the Vanderbilt football program to unprecedented heights," Zeppos said. "He embodies integrity, strategic thinking and a demonstrated commitment to success. He understands the important role that athletics plays in the life of a vibrant university, and that outstanding scholarly pursuits and top-notch sports are integral parts of the Vanderbilt experience. We are thrilled to welcome him to the Vanderbilt community."
"We are very pleased with our search. It was evident that the football world is aware of the tremendous progress our program has made and that was reflected by the deep pool of talent that showed an interest in our position," Williams said. "We talked to outside experts and did our own evaluations and the person that always seemed to be in the spotlight was the same person that was at the top of our list and that was Derek Mason.
"We are so excited to be introducing him as our head football coach because we are confident he can build upon our successes on and off the field and that he will take us to the next level. Derek will be an asset to our university," Williams added.
Mason becomes head coach of a Commodore program that has enjoyed consecutive nine-win seasons and postseason Top 25 rankings for the first time in team history. The 2013 Vanderbilt squad finished 9-4, capped by a 41-24 victory over Houston in the BBVA Compass Bowl.
"I am so excited to be at Vanderbilt," Mason said. "This university combines the best of what's good about college athletics and academics. We expect to be competitive and look forward to competing for an SEC East crown."
Defensive coordinator at Stanford since 2011, Mason has helped take the Cardinal to Rose Bowl appearances in 2013 and 2014, and consecutive Pac-12 titles with one of the nation's top defensive units. Under Mason, the Cardinal ranked among the NCAA national Top 15 in defensive efficiency for three consecutive years.
While facing seven ranked opponents and one of the nation's toughest schedules in 2013, Mason's defense ranked third in the NCAA in rushing defense (89.4 yards), 10th in scoring defense (19.0 points) and 16th in total offense (343.1 yards).
The Cardinal was one of only five teams last year to allow less than 100 rushing yards per game. The team was also among the best nationally in producing stops for negative yardage, ranking fifth with 44 sacks and seventh with 109 tackles for loss. The defense was also superb on third downs, holding opponents to a 32 percent conversion rate.
Off the field, the Cardinal ranks among the nation's best with a football graduation rate of 95 percent. Stanford University was ranked No. 5 by U.S. News & World Report among national universities in 2013.
In 2012, the 44-year-old Mason was a finalist for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation's top assistant coach, after directing a defense that ranks among the best in the nation and finest in Stanford history. The 2012 unit broke Stanford's single season record for quarterback sacks and topped the Pac-12 in numerous categories, including scoring defense and total defense, helping the Cardinal to a 11-2 season capped off with a Rose Bowl crown.
Mason's leadership paved the way to a historic defensive output in 2012, breaking Stanford's single-season sacks record (57) and pacing the Pac-12 in scoring defense (17.2 points), total defense (336.2 yards) and rushing defense (97.0 yards). In 11 of 14 games in 2012, Stanford held its opponent to 20 or fewer points, including a 14-point effort in the overtime win at top-ranked Oregon, who led the FBS with a 54.8 scoring average.
The 2012 Stanford defense held eight of 13 opponents under 100 yards rushing in 2012, and in a string of three consecutive games, the Cardinal recorded three of its top-10 single-game rushing defense performances in school history.
In 2011, Mason's first year as co-defensive coordinator, he teamed with Jason Tarver to mold Stanford into one of the Pac-12's top defensive units. That season, the unit ranked either first or second in the Pac-12 in six defensive categories, including rushing defense (84.4), third-down conversion defense (1st – 31.1), scoring defense (2nd – 21.9), total defense (2nd – 337.6), sacks-per-game (2nd – 3.00) and opponent first downs (2nd – 17.5). Stanford finished third nationally in rushing defense.
Mason joined the Cardinal coaching staff in 2010, serving as secondary coach under then-Stanford coach and current San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh. Mason's 2010 secondary, which featured three players who went on to play in the NFL, was one of the most improved units, posting 18 interceptions.
Prior to his arrival in Palo Alto, Mason served as an assistant defensive backs coach for the Minnesota Vikings from 2007 to 2009, playing a vital role in the team ranking sixth in total defense in 2008 and 2009 as the Vikings won NFC North titles each season. Mason was introduced to the NFL coaching circles through the Minority Fellowship program in 1996 with the St. Louis Rams and also spent time with the coaching staffs of the New York Giants and Oakland Raiders. He joined the Vikings staff in 2007, where he worked with defensive backs coach Joe Woods.
Before joining the Vikings, Mason tutored wide receivers at Ohio University under head coach Frank Solich, helping the Bobcats improve from 4-7 in 2005 to a 9-5 campaign the following year that ended with an appearance in the GMAC Bowl.

New Cable Modem/BSD Router Problem
I'm at a loss here and my ISP is of no help. I had my cable modem replaced today and now my BSD router no longer works. I had a Motorola Surfboard 5101 replaced by a Surfboard SBG6580. The new one has been configured to work like the old one with the wireless, router, firewall and DHCP all turned off by my ISP. When I connect my PC directly to the cable modem it has internet access which is how I'm posting this, but when I connect the modem to my BSD router just like the old one I have no internet access on anything. My BSD router is picking up an IP from my ISP but it's not passing packets through to my LAN anymore. When I run tcpdump it just says this now:
tcpdump: listening on xl0, link-type EN10MB
where as before there was a continuous stream of data flying by.
I've been at this for over three hours now and I just don't know how or why it's not working anymore. I can ping all my internal IP addresses from/to each other and I can ping my WAN IP adddress from my BSD router but can't ping anything on the internet using URL's or IP addresses. The only thing that has changed is the cable modem. Here is my pf.conf contents:
# macros int_if="xl0" ext_if="xl1" whs="192.168.0.50" pc1="192.168.0.20" pc2="192.168.0.21" websrv="192.168.0.55" # options set block-policy drop set loginterface $ext_if set skip on lo # match rules match in all scrub (no-df) match out on egress inet from !(egress) to any nat-to (egress:0) # filter rules block in log pass out quick antispoof quick for { lo $int_if } pass in on egress inet proto tcp to (egress) port 80 rdr-to $websrv synproxy state pass in on egress inet proto tcp to (egress) port 443 rdr-to $whs synproxy state pass in on egress inet proto tcp to (egress) port 5900 rdr-to $pc1 synproxy state pass in on egress inet proto tcp to (egress) port 5901 rdr-to $pc2 synproxy state pass in log on $int_if

192.168.0.1 is the local IP for your xl0 interface.. and you have it as your default gateway, which is obviously not what you want.
Remove your /etc/mygate file and reboot the system.
Geeze, all I had to do was reboot my router and everything came back online. I didn't think that would be necessary simply by changing the cable modem.
I don't have a /etc/mygate file.
The reason my gateway was showing as 192.168.0.1 was because I connected my WAN NIC to my LAN switch to make sure it was grabbing an IP from DHCP, which it did. When I connected it back to my cable modem it grabbed the WAN IP from my ISP but for some reason kept the gateway IP of my LAN NIC which is 192.168.0.1 rather than updating to my ISP's gateway. 192.168.0.1 is the IP of the LAN NIC in my BSD router which is also my DHCP server and obviously the gateway for my LAN.
Once again, thank you everyone for your help. Even though the solution was extremely simple I actually got to learn something through the troubleshooting process.
My experience has been that Motorola SB5100 cable modems cache the MAC address of whatever device is first found when booting up. Any device later substituted is simply never seen. So if I change attached devices, I have to cycle the modem as well.
I never experienced that problem. The modem was actually a SB5101, now it's a SBG6580 with all the gateway features disabled. The problem I was having is that it was constantly going off line starting two weeks ago Saturday. It would go offline anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. I know they are upgrading the system to add phone service but according to the cable tech here today that work is done and should have only caused disruptions for a few days late at night two weeks ago. I've had problems several times a day everyday for almost two weeks now. All I want is for it to be working flawlessly by Saturday night so when I buy the UFC PPV I'm not spending more time troubleshooting and resetting network gear than I am watching the fights. I'd hate to have to put a triangle choke on my cable modem.
I need to follow my own advice I give to customers. They call with a strange problem and the first thing I tell them to do is reboot. Nine times out of ten that solves the problem, yet rebooting is always the last resort for me, go figure.
I recently had a similar experience. Pretty annoying "feature", if you ask me.

Animal Control Looking for Help in Finding Dog Involved in Spencer Park Bite Incident
The Sioux Falls Police Department's Animal Control Division would like the public's help in locating a dog in reference to a dog bite.
On July 19, 2013, at around 9 p.m., a 37-year-old female was at Spencer Dog Park with her dog. While at the park, her dog was attacked by an American bulldog. The female tried to separate the two dogs and was also bitten in the hand breaking the skin.
The owner of the American bulldog was described as a middle-aged man, with short hair, wearing a T shirt and shorts. The man was possibly at the park with his wife and kids and they were parked in the far east end of the dog park lot. The dog was described as an American bulldog, with brown patchy colors, and possibly wearing a blue collar.
Animal Control needs to identify the dog in this incident to verify its vaccinations. If you have any information on this case, please call Animal Control at 367-7000.

Travel Trailers come in two classifications: less than 4,000 lbs. and more than 4,000 lbs.
Less than 4,000 lbs.
This class of trailer is designed to be hauled behind the average family car, minivan, SUV or other small vehicle that's properly set up and factory-rated for towing. Most such trailers are fully-equipped like their big brothers, but they're smaller and most facilities are downsized to fit the compact space. You may not get a lot of lounging or bathroom space and the kitchens are usually functional but not extra roomy, but these rigs include full comfort and livability hardware such as a furnace, an on-demand water system and so on.
Storage and parking is less complex with a smaller trailer, but some cargo capacity and general elbowroom are sacrificed in the interest of smaller size.
Keep an eye on the larger units in this class. Some manufacturers list their dry weight RVs as "less than 4,000 pounds" but by the time you start with a 3,800-pound "dry" weight and add options, fluids and cargo, the true weight is considerably more. Be careful, or you'll overload that rig rated for 4,000 pounds in a hurry.
More than 4,000 lbs.
These are among the most popular RVs on the road. They're fully equipped, have a wide variety of floorplans aimed at families or couples or anything in between, and can be had in a dizzying array of price/quality levels, sizes and options.
You don't need a pickup to tow a travel trailer. Many full- and mid-size family vehicles can be set up for safe and sensible towing, and there's likely a trailer out there that fits your needs.
Some travel trailers can, under certain conditions, exhibit an occasional tail-wagging sway that can lead to uncomfortable moments for the driver. That's why, all other factors being equal, many users choose a fifth-wheel. However, if a pickup is your tow rig of choice, a travel trailer leaves the pickup bed free for hauling extra cargo in weatherproof security under a bed canopy. Some people find backing a trailer difficult and hitching up a chore, but backing gets easier with practice — as does hitching and unhitching.

When Bill Clinton used his 1996 State of the Union address to kick off his ultimately successful re-election campaign, he uttered one of the few SOTU lines that people still remember: "The era of big government is over." It did not matter narrowly that this was another Clinton lie; he went on in that speech to outline something like 97 small ways government could get bigger, from school uniforms to v-chips. (Whatever happened to the v-chip anyway?) The importance of the line was that it was a signal to the swing voters who had delivered the 1994 Republican landslide that it would be safe to re-elect him; he wasn't going to try a second-term re-run of Hillarycare. The swinging Clinton was nothing if not skilled in wooing swing voters.
Obama tried for his equivalent last night with the line, "No bailouts, no handouts, no cop-outs." This, from a specialist in all three departments. I don't think I need to dilate this point much further. About his argument for "fairness" in the tax code, however, it ought to be pointed out that the perceived inequities of the tax system is the system liberals built. It was liberals, decades ago, who insisted on the payroll tax system for entitlement programs that delivers the perverse result that many working Americans pay more in payroll taxes than income taxes (actually nearly half of American households pay no federal income tax right now, so a truly "shared burden" would mean raising their taxes). And as for Obama's call for a "minimum tax rate" on "millionaires and billionaires" (which I have a hunch is somehow going to start at $250,000), um, didn't we already try that with the Alternative Minimum Tax? Gee, that's been a real success.
One wonders, by the way, how a new 30 percent minimum tax rate on the rich might affect state and local governments, for one simple reason. In all the fuss about Mitt Romney's 14 percent tax rate, I'm curious why no one recalls that in 1992 Ross Perot's tax returns showed that he paid almost no income tax at all because he'd invested something like $700 million of his fortune in tax-free municipal bonds. (Take note, Team Romney and everyone else: somehow this didn't stop millions of working class voters from voting for Perot.) Question: Would Obama's minimum tax rate for the rich strip the tax-exemption from municipal bonds, and if so, what effect will that have on the borrowing costs for state and local governments? This could get interesting. (There's an interesting corollary question here: if we keep the tax-exemption on municipal bonds, what does it say that you can still get a big income tax break if you invest in government, but must pay a much higher rate for investing in the private sector? That will tell you all you need to know, as if you don't already, about liberalism. I've already got my bet placed on where liberals will come down on this question.)
There's one other glaring contrast with Clinton that is becoming more apparent: the Obama Administration's hostility toward people of faith, which Clinton did not share. We saw already how the Supreme Court unanimously smacked down the Obama Justice Department, which wanted to extend anti-discrimination law to churches to the effect that churches would be restricted from hiring people of their own faith for key positions. Last week the Obama Administration announced its intent to compel health care providers, including Catholic hospitals, to provide contraception services that go against their religious doctrine. Michael Greve takes up the story in the LibertyLawBlog:
[T]he IFR [interim final rule] is obviously unconstitutional and unlawful, and the administration will receive another judicial trashing for its "extreme" and "extraordinary" positions on matters of religious freedom (see the Supreme Court's recent, unanimous decision and opinion in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church v. EEOC). Let's pause, though, over the so-called process that produced this abomination: it's a perfect illustration of Obamacare in action. . .
This "process" has been playing out while Mrs. Sebelius's office has issued hundreds of waivers for employer health plans that fail to comply with the ACA's and HHS's exalted standards, such as "mini-med" plans used by McDonald's. Without those waivers, the ranks of the uninsured would swell. Hiding the ACA's inanity is sufficient reason to suspend the legal requirements; First Amendment objections apparently aren't.
One of Clinton's few good points was his support for religious freedom. He backed legislative acts, and issued administrative rules, to support religious freedom and autonomy from government during his eight years in office—a disposition that largely went unnoticed by friends and critics alike. I ascribe this to Clinton's Arkansas upbringing and membership in the Southern Baptist Church—a decentralized Protestant denomination that is very harmonious with America's democratic character. As is well known, Obama's religious outlook is thoroughly imbued with the radical liberation theology of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Wright's liberation theology is not really theological at all (I used to call liberation theology "Marxism with salsa" back in its Latin American incarnation in the 1980s), but above all it supports massively increased political power over everyone, including especially fellow people of faith suffering from false consciousness. If there's anything that liberals hate more than the rich these days, its people of faith who are unwilling to see the divinity of government.
It's almost enough to make you miss Bill Clinton. Almost.

Tech companies at top of patent heap
SAN FRANCISCO — Google, Samsung and Apple are filing for patents at an increasing rate as a defensive measure in an uncertain and litigious world for tech innovators.
Their patent race with one another and competitors has for the first time pushed chemical and medical companies off the Top 50 list of patent awardees — and signs indicate the tech industry's patent dominance will continue in coming years.
Story Continued Below
Fueling this patent race have been the smartphone and tablet wars, which have pitted tech companies against one another in courts — and stores — worldwide. But there is also uncertainty as the U.S. shifts to a first-to-file patent system on March 16 as part of the implementation of the America Invents Act, the first congressional overhaul of patent law in six decades, which was signed into law nearly 18 months ago.
Even as Congress has changed the law and the Federal Trade Commission settled its patent case with Google, the policy issues surrounding patents show no sign of diminishing. Lawmakers and regulators have recently spoken about the effect on the economy and innovation of so-called patent trolls — patent-holding firms that don't make products but just sue other companies that do. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has also started to delve into questions about whether software should receive different treatment in the patent system.
Companies are responding by "building up their defensive portfolios," said Larry Cady, an analyst at IFI Claims Patent Services, which compiled a report looking at patent trends.
"It's relatively cheap insurance, and it gives them some certainty in the future," he said.
For the first time in 2012, Google cracked the Top 50 list of patent awardees, with 1,151 patents, according to IFI. Google's patent awards were up 170 percent from the previous year, with patents across all of its chief businesses, such as smartphones, search and advertising.
"Google made a big jump this year," Cady said.
Google, now ranked 21st, edged out Apple, which is ranked 22nd. Apple was awarded 1,136 patents, up 68 percent from the previous year.

Dr. Meyer discusses how the conservative approach of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is protecting against adverse human health effects and environmental damage from pesticides may have moved us from the age of a "silent spring" to a raucous autumn.

The Chestnut Hill Book Festival and Speaker Series presents its Fifth Annual Book Festival – an all day event – on Sunday, Sept. 22, and it will include readings by authors of various genres, book sales and signings, children's events, panels and an improv staging.
Once again, the festival will showcase the rich and diverse literary talent of the Philadelphia area as well as provide an opportunity for readers to meet and chat with a variety of writers.
A highlight of this year's event is a Chef's Panel moderated by the Philadelphia Inquirer's Michael Klein, writer of Table Talk and The Insider. Klein knows the culinary playing field and will draw Kitchen Confidential-type tales and secrets from Chestnut Hill's own Al Paris, of Heirloom and the recently opened Coastal Blue in Wildwood Crest, and two other chefs from the area. There are bound to be some hairy and hilarious escapades behind those kitchen swinging doors.
Pete Mazzaccaro, editor of the Chestnut Hill Local, will moderate a discussion with John Baer, Philadelphia Daily News columnist, and Al Hunter Jr., former music industry reporter for the Daily News to discuss the transition from news writing to book writing and other elements of the writing world.
Hunter also will speak about his book, "Thou Shalt Not Steal: the Baseball Life and Times of a Rifle-Armed Negro League Catcher," about baseball and American history, love and loyalty, struggle and success, and Baer, who is always on top of Harrisburg's shenanigans, will speak about his book, "On the Front Lines of Pennsylvania Politics: Twenty-Five Years of Keystone Reporting."
The memoir form is of great interest to both readers and writers, and Beth Kephart, author of five memoirs and a history of the Schuylkill River, will share her expertise in this genre. Kephart also has written nonfiction, poetry and young adult fiction for adults and teens. Her new book, "Handling the Truth: On the Writing of Memoir," and her sage advice will be helpful to all with an interest in telling their stories or in understanding others.
Every year the festival can count on Temple University's professors for talented, interesting fiction, and this year Don Lee, author of "The Collective," and Lori L. Tharps, author of "Kinky Gazpacho," will join us.
Some of Lee's awards include finalist for the Thurber Prize, an American Book Award, the Edgar Award for Best First Novel, and a Mixed Media Watch Image Award for Outstanding Fiction. Tharps is also an award-winning author, journalist and speaker, and has several works of fiction under her belt after giving up a career in public relations.
A recent winner of the National Jewish Book Award for Outstanding Debut Fiction and the Goldberg Prize, Daniel Torday's book "The Sensualist" was described as masterful, fast and warm, fraught and intimate—and no slouch in the funny department.
Poet James Hoch's "Night Crabbing" is the work of a gifted young poet for whom the lyric is both discovery and song with grave tones and graceful aptitude, and this from a former dishwasher, cook, dockworker, social worker and shepherd.
Hoch will describe his interesting journey and tell how it led to his much admired work as a poet.
Layer upon layer of history abounds in Philadelphia, and two authors who have carved out and detailed a special piece of this history – diverse in neighborhoods and ethnicity – are Joseph Minardi and Sabrina Vourvoulias. Minardi's "Historic Architecture in Northwest Philadelphia" and Vourvoulias' "200 Years of Latino History in Philadelphia" are beautiful books with fabulous photography and informative text about two unique areas of the city.
Special events for kids (but not just for kids) include children's author Daniel Kaye ("Never Underestimate a Hermit Crab") and Philadelphia Stories workshops where kids can learn to write, Roller-coaster Stories with Philadelphia Stories Jr. editor Tara Smith, and Storytelling Through Cartoons with Karen Pokras Toz, award-winning author of the Nate Rocks series. These are hands-on workshops and may produce a little award winner in the process.
Always a popular Book Festival event is Chestnut Hill Improv, a quick witted, savvy trio comprised of Andrew Gilmore, Phyllis Gosfield and Joe McCann. The Book Festival welcomes them back again and acknowledges that together they represent 141 years of crafty repartee. Another special returnee, Philadelphia Stories, will also host an always-popular anywhere and everywhere Open Mic. After local authors discuss their writing world, the mic will be open to an imaginative and creative audience.
Again, the Book Festival is proud to be sponsored by Bowman Properties and supported by Musehouse, a Center for the Literary Arts; Chestnut Hill Hotel; Chestnut Grill; Chestnut Hill Business Association; the Chestnut Hill Community Association, and the Chestnut Hill Business Improvement District.

After searching the home of Aaron Hernandez's uncle, police have obtained at least one piece of potential evidence against the former Patriots tight end turned murder defendant: An SUV that was taken from Andres Valderrama's garage and impounded.
A silver SUV was towed from Valderrama's garage on Friday night and is in police custody, USA Today reports.
It is not immediately clear whether police believe the SUV is tied to the death of Odin Lloyd, whom Hernandez is accused of murdering, or whether it is connected to a double homicide in Boston in July of 2012 that police are also investigating as possibly connected to Hernandez.
Boston police commissioner Ed Davis said there "is a lot of information that's come in over the past week or so. We're actively pursuing leads right now."
In the 2012 case, three people were shot on a Boston street corner, and two of them died. No suspects had been publicly identified until this week, when investigators reportedly began to suspect that Hernandez may have been involved in that shooting, and that he killed Lloyd because Lloyd had information about his involvement.

The Tinley Park Five are all pretty much settled into the facilities they'll probably serve the duration of their sentences at. They're all really happy to be out of Cook County and be in facilities where the inmates want nothing more than to do their time and get out. They're all able to exercise, watch television, listen to music, and read in order to pass the time quickly.
We've also been told to make sure we give a shout out to Anarchist Black Cross (especially Denver, Chicago, NYC, and Bay Area) for their ongoing and continual support. Another big shout out to those members of the Anonymous collective who have supported #opValentine and #opPenPal (not to mention #opStormFrontRaid, #freeAnon, #opBlitzkrieg, and #opRacism). It means a lot to them to know that they're not forgotten. They are continually amazed at how much suipport they're receiving from all around the world.
I spoke with one of the Tinley Park Five on the phone a couple days ago. Apparently he has been getting so much mail that he raised the suspicion of one of the guards. This guard approached him, a "humongous beast of a man", with a shaved head and white skin.
"Who the fuck are you? Why are you getting so much mail?"
He tried unsuccessfully to evade the issue. "My girl writes a lot…"
"Motherfucker I'm just going to go home and google your ass. Who's ass did you beat to get this 'mob action' conviction?" the guard asked menacingly.
At this point, our young friend is pretty convinced that this guard is going to be giving him hell for the duration of his sentence, but there's nothing he can really do. There's nothing he can do to stop this guy from typing his name in a search engine. So what else can he do but step up and own his beliefs.
After he tells the guard just exactly what he's in for, the guard smirks and shakes his head and starts reaching for what my friend thinks is the can of pepper spray the guards carry on their holster. It turns out though that the guard was just reaching for his wallet. He unfolds it and shows some pictures of his beautiful black wife and children.
"You'll be fine in here…" He says as he chuckles and walks away.
Moral of the story: Don't judge a book by it's cover I guess.
Prison Censorship
So there's a little bit of a problem with mail and reading materials getting confiscated by the mail room. Typically when a prisoner's mail is confiscated they get a slip saying that there was a package that was sent back for security violations and sometimes they give a lose explanation as to why. Apparently with the high volume of mail, one of the TP5 got about twenty of these confiscation notices in one week.
While these notices aren't supposed to carry any consequences, it does draw a lot of unwanted attention to our comrades. Since all of the TP5 expect to get parole immediately upon becoming eligible, we're all just apprehensive about giving the State any excuse to extend the length of their incarceration.
Also, very concretely, they simply aren't getting the materials. Please don't stop sending them zines and political reading though! We're just asking that if you send them things, try to avoid materials with inflammatory rhetoric, anything they're going to try to say is 'gang-related', explicitly violent material, or get this… anything with a can or bottle of beer visible in the pictures. Once you start sending them stuff you can work with them to try to make sure that they're getting as much of it as possible. Apparently a lot of these decisions are pretty arbitrary and depends largely on who's working the mail room any given day.
Thanks for your continued support!

The Visualization Centres of GCS
Hand in Hand with High Performance Computing
Increasingly powerful supercomputing resources enable researchers to solve massive, complex simulations in perpetually shorter amounts of time. By achieving results, researchers gain insights into their respective science and research fields. However, the mounds of data generated are usually so large and complex that researchers must find additional tools to understand and analyse their simulations. In many cases, this is done by converting the data to three-dimensional models, which the "virtual laboratories" at the three GCS centres make possible through their accessible projection rooms and high-definition large projection screens.
Virtual Reality allows researchers to more intuitively portray and work with their simulation data. When researchers see their simulation results visually, they are often able to see if there are mistakes upon first glance. In the case of mistakes, they are able to quickly make optimizations and alterations. Another advantage is that researchers from various disciplines are able to collectively analyse their data and results.
For example, development engineers that are working on optimizing the shape of cars for a reduction of air resistance, and ultimately reducing emissions, must also collaborate with production managers and designers. For a single question, these various differing voices often have multiple approaches to solving the problem, because each position approaches the problem with different priorities. By using a virtual laboratory, interdisciplinary and efficient improvements can easily be made.
The visualization possibilities offered by the three GCS centres also allow dynamic adaptation of their images based on the current position of the observer. One steps into these vizualisation environments and interacts directly with the machine. In these accessible projection rooms, a user gets the feeling that they are free to move in the middle of a "virtual world," that can be any type of environment scenarios, be it in the middle of a virtual building or the centre of the earth.
Researchers can immerse themselves in whole power plants, turbines, or airplanes, examine them from different perspectives, and see whether their individual parts interact with one another efficiently. During this process, they can analyse the smallest parameter adjustments to the various components in real time.

InstitutionsCommercial Fence Application
The stately look of Ameristar's ornamental steel fence panels bring a balance of safety and security to the perimeter of any site.
The stately look of Ameristar's ornamental steel fence panels bring a balance of safety and security to the perimeter of any site.
The Montage Industrial ornamental steel fence is a lighter alternative to the heavy industrial fencing used for specified projects. Montage Industrial's welded 1" picket, 1 ¾" rail of the fence panel and 2 1/2" posts provides this ornamental fence a robust security profile.
Montage Industrial ornamental fence is a great option when considering choices for securing a facility. Montage Industrial has that old-world look of wrought-iron fencing without the complicated maintenance issues associated with old fashioned wrought-iron fence. All Montage fence products are coated inside and out with the maintenance-free E-coat finish and feature a 20 year warranty.
Montage Commercial decorative steel fences have redefined the commercial fence industry with strength that matches the level of security demanded, and styles that balance the distinctive look of wrought iron fence into a perimeter security fence system. In the past the fence industry defined commercial fencing as a chain link fence with 3 strands of barb wire, today Montage Commercial ornamental steel fences are the standard for security fencing.
Montage Commercial ornamental fences blend the strength of fusion weld technology and the dependable E-coat finish into a maintenance-free durable ornamental steel security fence. Montage Commercial ornamental steel fences were designed in 7' and 8' heights to meet the security demands of commercial projects.
For assisted living projects, Montage II is the preferred choice among fence specifiers. The Montage II ornamental steel fence panel is made up of heavy 1" x 14ga. pickets & 1 ¾" x 12ga. rails that are welded using state-of-the-art fusion technology. Montage II industrial fencing has an E-coat maintenance free finish, recycled pre-galvanized steel and a 20 year warranty. Montage II keeps true to the old world look of wrought-iron fence with absolutely none of the expensive and regular maintenance demanded by old-fashioned wrought-iron.
The Aegis II industrial steel fence panel consists of 1" x 14ga. pickets and a unique double wall rail that is 1 ¾" x 14ga. The ForeRunner rail design allows the Aegis II to be more flexible than typical decorative fences and the component design of the Aegis II high security fence makes it easy to fabricate custom fence heights and custom rail placements.
Aegis Plus commercial ornamental fencing can be customized to match rail spacing of any existing fence. The flexibility of the ForeRunner rail provides the Aegis Plus security fence the ability to place the rail at any location on the fence panel and the fence may be manufactured to any specified height or custom color for commercial projects. Aegis Plus ornamental steel fences are the perfect choice for a light commercial ornamental fence application that requires non-standard heights, rail spacing, and/or colors.
Aegis Plus fences have several attributes that make this fence product a leader among light commercial perimeter project types. The strength of the Aegis Plus ForeRunner double-wall rail is stronger than oridinary square ornamental profiles.
Ornamental Aluminum Fencing has been redefined with the introduction of the Echelon II industrial aluminum fence system. This industrial aluminum fence product is the strongest and most durable aluminum fence available on the market.
Echelon aluminum fence products are assembled with an internal picket to rail retaining rod, making this aluminum fence a more attractive alternative to the exposed screws or rivets on ordinary aluminum fences.

Sorry if this has come up before, but I honestly can't figure out how to beam my crew back to my ship. It always seems like I want to beam more crew elsewhere. Can someone let me know what I need to do to beam my crew back home?

Re: How do I beam my crew back?
OK...the system is a little confusing at the moment, but what you will need to do is to ensure that your teleporter is empty. Click on the teleport button, and you should get a different cursor. Put this cursor on top of your character that is on another ship/station and click. That should bring them back home.
Re: How do I beam my crew back?
Ok. I'll give that a try. I had the teleporter empty. But I thought tie icon was asking where I wanted to teleport the team to, not who are you teleporting.

This year, the Bupa Great North Run was a two-pronged affair for me…
Firstly, I ran it (see my blog post Great North Humanity). Secondly, I made a series of one metre high prints for designer and illustrator Daisy de Villeneuve and Great North Run Culture 2013.
Best known for her eye-catching designs for the likes of the V&A, Nike, Moët & Chandon and Topshop, Daisy created a series of portraits in her distinctive colourful style for the commission, entitled Run Colour Run.
Daisy writes:
"What I saw when I went to the Great North Run was there were a lot of people, it was very visual. I went around with my camera and I took photos of anyone I thought looked interesting. So, I've taken pictures of a whole range of people – not just the athletes and participants, but the hospitality staff, security, the Red Arrows, event organisers, people with their families, kids cheering on their dads, people in costumes, different characters that stood out to me. A lot of these will show up in my portraits."
From her Paris studio, Daisy discusses the project further:
Recently, top international athletes Ryan Bailey and Josh Cassidy came face-to-face with their portraits, now showing at the Laing Art Gallery here in Newcastle upon Tyne:

- Did you know that the Philadelphia Water Department's (PWD) proposed rate increase would raise your water and sewer rates by 28.5% over less than 3 years? That's about $196 more per year! Yet the PWD has more than $150 million in a fund that is supposed to prevent shocking rate increases like this one.
- Will your income increase at the same rate over 3 years?
- Has the Water Revenue Bureau (WRB) refused to listen to your concerns about your PWD water bill and failed to provide any real help?
- Have you ever tried to get a WRB hearing after denial of an application for service or after the WRB has refused to offer you an affordable payment agreement to avoid service shut-off?
- Did you know that the WRB has a program, called WRAP, to help low income families afford service?
- Do you have questions about the storm water rate and how it will change?
The Water Department claims that it needs $318 million more over the next four years. This claim is based on unproven estimates and financial forecasts.
We need your help convincing the Philadelphia Water Commissioner and the Rate Case Hearing Officer that this proposed rate increase is not right, and will be a burden on Philadelphia customers who are already struggling to make ends meet.
Come SPEAK OUT About the Water Department's Request to Raise Your Bill

No-go on closing Gitmo.
Despite pleas from the left and President Obama's re-election, the White House is not going to consider closing the detention and military-commission facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The president is no fan of Gitmo or trying 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed before a military tribunal there. But "he's not going to fight that fight again," a source said. "It's done."
