When I found the photo it made me laugh. I think the Chevy was was outfitted for a trip to PYMATUNING STATE PARK. That trip was a family favorite and they always took the row boat.
The reason for the three tones 57 Chevy was the result of Claudia's encounter with a tree. I am the oldest of six siblings and one day a trip to the PITTSBURGH ZOO was planned.
My father came up with the idea for me to drive. I only had my learners permit for about two weeks.
I told him I did not want to drive because I didn't feel comfortable driving in the city. He told me to drive anyway.
After turning at an intersection (this was pre power steering and pre power assist brakes) I did not straighten up the car in time and I hit a huge Sycamore tree. He was so angry and spent the rest of his week of looking for a installing a new fender on the station wagon.
I never again had to drive that tribe anywhere again.

The Ravens locked up their No. 1 priority in free agency by agreeing to a multi-year deal with guard/tackle Marshal Yanda. They are able to negotiate with their own free agents until 6 p.m. Friday; after that, other teams can make their pitches. Here's a ranking of the other 13 unrestricted free agents in terms of priority to the team:
1. Josh Wilson, cornerback: Fans are campaigning for Nnandi Asomugha of the Raiders, but Wilson figures more into the Ravens' price range. The Ravens got great value after trading a fifth-round pick to Seattle for Wilson last year, and the plan wasn't necessarily to rent the former Maryland standout for one season. His age (he's 26), play-making ability and chemistry with the secondary makes him very attractive to the Ravens, who need a veteran defender with Jimmy Smith being a rookie and Domonique Foxworth coming off a major knee injury.
2. Chris Carr, cornerback: There are plenty of reasons for the Ravens to keep Carr. He's smart, dependable and versatile. But it's assumed that the Ravens won't be able to bring back both Carr and Wilson. Another snag is Carr wants to remain a starting cornerback if he returns to the Ravens. The Ravens can't guarantee that.
3. Marc Bulger, quarterback: Everyone has Bulger playing next season for Cincinnati, Miami or San Francisco. That might be jumping the gun. The Ravens really want a proven veteran to back up Joe Flacco, and Bulger enjoyed a season where he wasn't the defense's tackling dummy. The biggest hurdle is finding another $3 million for Bulger with a salary cap back in effect.
UPDATE: The Arizona Cardinals have reportedly talked to Bulger's agent.
4. Le'Ron McClain, fullback: The only way the Ravens keep McClain is if they can lure him back to fill the big-back role of Willis McGahee, who will get cut Thursday. The Ravens are probably looking to pick up a block-first fullback (perhaps Cleveland's Lawrence Vickers) to rev up the running game.
5. Chris Chester, guard-center: Chester has never appeared happy with how the Ravens have used him, and the Ravens want him to get stronger before making him the heir apparent to Matt Birk at center. Since the Ravens didn't draft a center, Chester could be their best option next year as the top backup there.
6. Dawan Landry, safety: The Ravens have never made strong efforts to retain other players who started next to Ed Reed (Will Demps and Jim Leonhard). Landry almost certainly will draw interest from the league. Plus, the Ravens could plug a less expensive option (Tom Zbikowski) into the starting lineup. If teams surprisingly don't pursue Landry, the Ravens would welcome the chance to keep him.
UPDATE: The Jacksonville Jaguars have reportedly shown interest in Landy.
7. Prescott Burgess, linebacker/special teams ace: The Ravens didn't extend a restricted free-agent tender to Burgess, who has led the Ravens in special teams tackles the past two seasons. But he should be able to be retained at a minimal cost.
8. Tony Moll, guard-tackle: Adequate backup who should come cheap. The question is whether the Ravens truly want him back.
9. Jared Gaither, offensive tackle: This was Gaither's 2010 recap: a foot problem, unexpected weight loss and a back injury. That's three strikes. The Ravens can't depend on Gaither anymore, and Gaither wants to play left tackle. Time for both sides to move on.
UPDATE: The Oakland Raiders are reportedly talking to Gaither.
10. T.J. Houshmandzadeh, wide receiver: He wasn't happy last season as the team's No. 3 wide receiver. So, imagine his reaction when the Ravens drafted receivers in the second and fourth round. The Ravens appreciated his experience, just not his outspoken style.
11. Donte' Stallworth, wide receiver: The Ravens' fastest wide receiver finished with more rushes (five) than catches (two). There were rumblings that the Ravens didn't trust his hands. Whatever the reason, chalk this up as a failed experiment.
UPDATE: The Washington Redskins are reportedly set to sign Stallworth.
12. Fabian Washington, cornerback: A stand-up guy who needs a change of scenery after getting benched two times in his Ravens career.
13. Kevin Houser, long snapper: The only way Houser receives an invitation back is if Mogan Cox (torn ACL in December) isn't healthy enough to take back his job.

As the repercussions and scope of recent cyberattacks continue to grow, Sony's problems are mounting.
Not only does the company have to rebuild its network infrastructure and continue to inventory what data was taken, but the revelation that another 25 million accounts were hacked will further tarnish Sony's image — something that could impact long-term sales.
Ironically, many investors — and even some consumers — haven't been overly critical of Sony for the actual attack. Most are willing to give the company the benefit of the doubt that its security was up to industry standards and recognize that whatever person or persons stole the data were extremely sophisticated.
However, the way the company has handled the crisis from a public relations standpoint has been harshly criticized.
"They still haven't done enough to reassure people," says Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities. "The tough talk about prosecuting the hackers is fine, but they still haven't told people 'If your credit card is stolen, here's the number to call and we'll make it right' and 'If your identity is stolen, here's the number to call and we'll make it right.' They need to reassure their customers that they will be liable for anything bad that happens as a result of the breach."
All totaled, personal data has been taken from what now adds up to 102 million accounts. And in Japan, some analysts have called for CEO Howard Stringer to step down.
Stringer has not commented on the incident, letting executive deputy president Kazuo Hirai do all the talking. That spotlight on Hirai has raised questions about whether he might wind up as the company's sacrificial lamb should Sony decide to make a face-saving gesture and terminate a high level executive. Previously, Hirai has been widely viewed as being next in line for the CEO role.
Even if the company doesn't pin the blame on any one executive, the data breach could impact Hirai's chances of ascending to the CEO position, since it happened to the division he was directly responsible for running.
Boardroom shuffles may reassure investors, but they don't have much of an impact on consumers. Sony first must calm the collective fears and anger of its affected customer base. But it also has to be mindful of potential customers, who might be scared away from buying its products as the story continues to dominate headlines.
For the affected, Sony already has detailed some of its plans — a "Welcome Back" program that will offer free downloadable entertainment content (which will vary by region), a 30-day free membership in its premium service and a complimentary 30-day subscription to its Music Unlimited Qriocity service.
It's also offering to assist users in enrolling in identity theft protection services — but hasn't yet provided details.
What it hasn't done — and what could quell some lingering fears — is detailed how it plans to prevent future incursions. While Sony announced plans Sunday to move its data center to a secure location and hire a new executive who would focus on security, those sorts of things are less comforting than hearing hard numbers and comparisons.
Committing to spend a certain amount to increasing security or partnering with a company that has a spotless record in this area would likely go further.
For potential customers, this would be an ideal time for Sony to announce a price cut for the PlayStation 3. It's something the industry is expecting in the coming months anyway—and with the almost exclusively negative focus on the company right now, a little positive press surely wouldn't hurt.
It could, in fact, deflect people's attention away from the data breach — an essential first step in rebuilding Sony's reputation.
Price cuts impact margins, though, which is one reason Sony is holding back on that. (Also, momentum for the PS3 doesn't seem to be waning in any notable fashion.) However, one of the tenants of crisis management is a company spends whatever it costs to repair the damage. Sony's doing that, of course, but the bill is likely going to be high.
The good news? Investors aren't flinching too much, despite the string of bad news. Shares are down 6 percent from the day Sony shut down the PlayStation Network servers. That's one area, at least, where the company doesn't have to do damage control.

Air Force Instructor Gets 20 Years in Prison for Sex Abuse
(CNN) — An Air Force instructor convicted of rape, aggravated sexual assault and other charges against 10 female recruits was handed a 20-year prison sentence Saturday in a military scandal that spurred investigators to examine the extent of the abuse.
Staff Sgt. Luis Walker was convicted Friday after being investigated on accusations of sexual abuse against his female subordinates while he was assigned to the 326th Training Squadron at Lackland Air Force Base in the San Antonio, Texas, region.
Walker will be reduced to the lowest enlisted rank, be dishonorably discharged and forfeit all pay and allowances, according to a Lackland statement Saturday.
He is among 12 instructors investigated for sexual misconduct against at least 31 trainees, and one of six to face charges in the scandal.
The commander of Air Force training earlier named Maj. Gen. Margaret Woodward to head a two-month inquiry, covering all four Air Force bases that handle basic training, which are located in Texas and Mississippi.
At Lackland, one trainer had earlier pleaded guilty to having an improper relationship with a trainee, as part of a plea agreement.
Staff Sgt. Peter Vega-Maldonado was sentenced to 90 days in prison, 30 days hard labor and a demotion in rank and pay.
In his plea deal, he provided testimony against two other trainers who have been charged. He also said he had inappropriate relationships with 10 trainees.
Last year, the Defense Department recorded more than 3,000 cases of sexual assault throughout its branches.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in April announced plans to create a special victims unit to investigate and prosecute allegations of sexual assault.

On Friday, peaceful activists from the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise woke up in a freezing jail cell in Russia for trying to protect the Arctic and fight global warming. At the same time the UN panel on Climate Change released its latest report on the status of the world's climate.
Both events can be summed up in one word. Grim.
The UN report contains hundreds of pages of evidence to justify the actions of the brave Arctic 30. They were acting in defense of a fragile Arctic and a warming world.
This study has gone further than its previous incarnations, and illustrates the crisis we're facing with even more confidence than before: climate change is a huge problem, the fossil fuel industry is responsible, and the window of opportunity to avoid really dangerous consequences is closing rapidly.
For climate activists everywhere, this announcement is bittersweet. Certainly it adds even more weight to the reasons behind the actions of the Arctic 30 and infuses the debate with more urgency. Yet at the same time, despite the indisputable evidence, governments everywhere are failing to act, and now the Russian authorities are proving they will stop at nothing to defend the oil industry as it exploits climate change to drill for more of the oil that caused this crisis in the first place.
Following an illegal boarding and arrest of our ship Arctic Sunrise after a peaceful protest against dangerous oil drilling, the ship was towed to Murmansk. The 'Arctic 30' were interviewed and subsequently detained without charge. Greenpeace, along with millions around the world, is calling for their immediate release, and sees the recent climate report as a strong call for more people to stand up against the reckless oil industry.
Russian oil giant Gazprom is trying to silence the activists and anyone who would speak out against Arctic oil drilling. Along with other oil companies like Shell, Gazprom is afraid of international attention on the Arctic oil race. However, the truth is that the world needs more, not less, attention focused on lunacy of the global greed for more Arctic oil.
For the first time, this report quantifies how much CO2 the world can emit if we are to stay within so-called safe limits of two degrees global warming: no more than 1000 gigatons of CO2 can be emitted from today until the end of the century if we are to avoid catastrophic climate change. This requires that global emissions peak before 2020, and decline rapidly thereafter. At current emission levels, we will have emitted that within 20 to 30 years. And with current growth, the time is even shorter. This is challenging, but not yet impossible.
Companies like Gazprom and Shell are literally banking on climate change. They have business models in place that depend on the world remaining addicted to fossil fuels, and that rely on the notion that governments will continue to protect the oil industry instead of their people. But alternatives exist, and another world is possible.
Certain fossil fuels need to stay in the ground if we are to avoid catastrophic climate change. That is a simple, indisputable fact. Yet in spite of this undeniable truth, greedy oil companies like Gazprom and others are exploring for more oil and gas, even in extremely sensitive areas like the icy Arctic Ocean, which carries an even greater risk of oil spills and accidents.
Drilling in the Arctic Ocean is incredibly dangerous when there is no way to clean up an oil spill in ice. It's like playing a game of Russian roulette with the sensitive Arctic environment.
The Arctic 30 know this. That is why these brave activists deserve our respect, gratitude and their freedom.
Truls Gulowsen is Head of Greenpeace Norway.

Woke up in a freezing jail, huh? Well, that's what can happen when you violate another country's laws. No mention of the illegal attempt to gain access to a drilling platform? 'Brave activists'? No, just self-righteous airheads who assume their views give them the right to do as they please, wherever they please. I think Russian security showed restraint in not shooting some of them as they attempted to scale the platform. The foolish and arrogant behavior of these 'activists' brought all this about. Let them take their own fall.

From what I've heard, it seems like the Russian authorities violated the activists' human rights (articles 8 to 11) by detaining them while 'pending' charges, and not providing adequate translation. I also don't think activism is a crime, but rather an important tool to bring about social or political reform. The activists were not hurting or threatening anyone, and the Russian coastguard also illegally boarded their ship and did threaten everyone on board. Not all laws are perfect, and if we just accepted everything anyone tells us to do, society would never advance.

You should look at this article, it talks about the new records of methane releases in Artic Ocean. It seems that past 12th November we've recorded hight levels in Laptev Sea. If you could find a way to link this information with the big risk of drilling in Artic Ocean, maybe it can be a good argument to Free the Artic. Here is the link

STERLING HEIGHTS, Michigan — The United Auto Workers union will own 55 percent of a restructured Chrysler LLC and its retiree health care trust will get a seat on the board of directors if union members vote to approve contract concessions later this week.
Factory-level union leaders voted unanimously Monday night to recommend approval of concessions that union President Ron Gettelfinger said would help keep the automaker out of bankruptcy.
A summary of the revised Chrysler-UAW contract says that Italian automaker Fiat Group SpA eventually will own 35 percent of a restructured Chrysler, with the remaining 10 percent stake divided between the U.S. government and secured lenders, mostly banks and hedge funds.
The summary says that Chrysler stock eventually will be traded publicly again, as there are mechanisms for the UAW to sell shares to fund the trust.
The Obama administration required that equity fund at least 50 percent of Chrysler's $10.6 billion obligation to a union-run trust that will take over retiree health care costs starting next year, according to the summary.
It also said that under the agreement, workers will no longer get most of their pay if they are laid off. Instead, they will get supplemental pay from the company equal to 50 percent of their gross base pay.
Union leaders say ratification votes across the U.S. should be finished by Wednesday. That's one day before Chrysler's government-imposed deadline to restructure or the government will end all aid to the struggling company.
Chrysler is living on $4 billion in U.S. government loans and must win concessions from its unions, swap equity for debt and ink a partnership deal with Fiat.
Without the deals, Chrysler almost certainly will be auctioned off in pieces.
Fiat has been in discussions with Chrysler to take a 20 percent stake in the Auburn Hills, Michigan, automaker in exchange for Fiat's small-car technology.
Under the deal, which was reached with Chrysler, Fiat and the U.S. Treasury Department, cost-of-living pay raises will be suspended through the contract's expiration in 2011, and it adds a provision for binding arbitration on a new contract through 2015. If no agreement can be reached on a new contract, the arbitrator must base total hourly labor costs on a rate comparable to Chrysler's U.S. competitors, including foreign-owned manufacturers.
The union also agreed to consolidate nonskilled labor job classifications into a team concept at all factories. Performance and Christmas bonuses will be suspended this year and next to help pay health care costs.
As part of the deal, Fiat committed to manufacturing a small car in one of Chrysler's U.S. facilities, but the summary does not say where. In addition, Fiat will share key technology with Chrysler, including all of its vehicle underpinnings.
The health care trust will select one member of Chrysler's board, with the consent of the UAW.
"We fought to maintain our wages, our health care and our jobs," Gettelfinger and UAW Vice President General Holiefield said in a letter to workers. "In the face of adversity, we secured new product guarantees, and we negotiated new opportunities for UAW involvement in future business decisions."
In addition to the stock, the company will pay its remaining $4.6 billion obligation to the health care trust in cash annually through 2023. Payments of $300 million will be made next year and in 2011, rising to $400 million in 2012, and $600 million in 2013. After that, the sum jumps to $650 million per year in 2014 through 2017, and to $823 million in 2019 through 2023.
Under the health care trust, retirees will no longer have dental and vision coverage, according to the summary sheet. The union says it likely will have to make additional benefit cuts in 2010 and 2011 because of uncertainty over the value of the Chrysler stock.
However, if the stock gains in value, benefits could be restored, the summary sheet says.
The local leaders recommended approval of the deal after a three-hour meeting at a suburban Detroit hotel.
The deal likely will serve as the template for a pact with General Motors Corp., which also is receiving federal aid and faces a restructuring deadline. Ford Motor Co. already has signed a deal with the UAW, but has said it will seek parity if Chrysler and GM get better terms.
Chrysler also has won deep concessions from the Canadian Auto Workers union as it races to meet the government deadline. If it can pull the package together in time, the government has said it will loan a new Chrysler-Fiat partnership up to $6 billion more. Chrysler also could get $500 million to stay afloat through April.
Also Monday, Germany's Daimler AG said it has reached a deal to get rid of its remaining 19.9 percent stake in Chrysler, severing the last tie between the two automakers that was formed more than a decade ago.
The agreement is expected to stanch the billions in losses Daimler has sustained as a result of its stake in the struggling U.S. automaker.
"Following the transfer of the term sheet into the final definitive agreements, the relationship between Daimler and Chrysler will solely consist of supplier-customer relations, including limited support for certain dealer financing until the end of September 2009, as well as certain guaranties," Daimler said in its statement.
Under the agreement, Daimler will forgive $1.9 billion in loans it extended to Auburn Hills, Michigan-based Chrysler, which it had already written off in its 2008 financial results.
Daimler also agreed to pay $200 million into Chrysler's pension plan when the deal takes effect and in each of the two years afterward. The money will help fund the pensions of former DaimlerChrysler AG workers, Daimler said.
The existing pension guaranty of $1 billion in relation to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., the government corporation that insures the pensions of millions of workers and retirees, will be reduced to $200 million and remain in place through August 2012.
Daimler said the deal is expected to reduce its second-quarter earnings before interest and tax by about $700 million. The automaker has recorded billions in losses related to Chrysler since selling off most of its stake in the U.S. carmaker to New York-based private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP in 2007.
For the fourth quarter of 2008 alone, Daimler said its Chrysler stake pulled its results lower by some 2 billion euros. The German company reported a 1.53 billion euro loss for the quarter. Daimler is scheduled to release its first-quarter earnings on Tuesday.
Cerberus' acquisition of 80.1 percent of Chrysler in 2007 dissolved a stormy "merger of equals" made in 1998 between Daimler-Benz and Chrysler Corp. But in November 2008, Cerberus accused Daimler of intentionally misleading it before it sold the controlling stake to the private equity firm the year before in a $7.4 billion deal.
As part of Monday's deal, Chrysler and Cerberus agreed to waive any claims, including that one, stemming from the 2007 sale, Daimler said.

This is a large trap with a low profile; it fits easily under kitchen appliances and in confined spaces.
It is ideal to fit under most domestic fridges which is where most escaped crickets will head for as they seek the heat from the fridge compressor unit and moisture from the condensation unit.
The low design and ramp leading to the sticky surface prevents insects from escaping. Ready to use, just peel off cover and assemble trap. Each tarp is supplied with a specially formulated attractant tablet to be placed on glue in centre of trap. This food based attractant works well for all species of crickets along with other insects
Pesticide free baited low line, high capacity insect trap. This trap has four entrances and is cost effective and easy to assemble.
These Traps are Pesticide-free and can be used in sensitive areas including nearly all school classrooms, food processing plants, restaurants, fitness gyms, health care facilities, supermarkets, and office buildings.
The wings on the top of the trap protect the glue surface from dust and dirt, and help to disperse the attractant. The trap design allows air to enter at the ends and flow out the sides into the environment. This maintains the efficacy of the trap over a long period.

Columbus, Ohio Goodguys weekend comes to and end
We're wrapping up our live three day coverage from the Goodguys 16th PPG Nationals. The show ends early at 12 noon today but that doesn't mean the fun is ending early. We still have tons of participants cruising the fairgrounds in their home- and pro-built rides.
Most of the manufacturers midway is still packed with industry favorites including Detroit Speed and Engineering, Roadster Shop, Ridetech, Billet Specialites and Speedway Motors. Rad Rides by Troy even had a pretty cool item to showcase. Participants are lining up to get in one last look for their new products before they head out. More on that below, along with some overall coverage of the participant awards going on from the Goodguys 16th PPG Nationals.
Manufacturers Midway
The Speedway Motors booth caught our eye this year. Out front, two buckets were on display showcasing much of the Speedway Motors lineup. Both were powered by Blueprint engines, one with a 383 and the other with a Ford 302. The Blueprint 383 pumps out 430 hp and 450 pounds of twist while the smaller cubic-inch produces a very respectable 300 hp and just over 320 lb/ft. Speedway also had a variety of speed parts on hand like headers, steering wheels, parts, components, wiring and accessories. All in an effort to get your rod or custom out on the road.
We also had an opportunity to drop by Detroit Speed and Engineering (DSE) who were on display this year. DSE made sure to bring Goodguys an entire army of new suspension components and parts, and full chassis for your favorite late-model OEM or classic musclecar. DSE is now producing 1964.5-1970 Ford Mustang suspension components. DSE also put their 1962-1967 Chevy II suspension and second-generation Camaro components on display as well.
Roadster Shop wasn't left out either. We made sure to stop by and check out their all-new REVO IFS system, available for early Chevy and Ford Truck as well as early Chevrolet passenger cars as well. This new IFS system is available in both the full chassis or just the front crossmember. Also on hand were their full chassis systems for 1968-1982 Corvette and 1964-1972 Chevelle.
Equally impressive were the B&M, Billet Specialties and Ridetech booths. B&M put their Hurst manual shifter for 2011-2012 Ford Mustang GT on display as well as the 2010-2012 Chevrolet Camaro manual shifter. Both feature a CNC-machined stainless steel stick assembly, and a PTFE lined spherical pivot bearing.
Billet Specialties had a full line of wheels, steering wheels and front drive assemblies. Ridetech upped the ante and was offering the opportunity to have your very own project vehicle, four-corner scaled. This Firebird turned out to be heavier than expected at a portly 3,729lbs with the driver in the car. Best part, Ridetech even prints out the stats for you to take home!
Goodguys 16th PPG Nationals Awards
Finally, to end out this terrific weekend, Goodguys handed out awards to all the participant winners. Each winner selected was allowed a final drive by to receive their award from a member of the Goodguys staff. Since it'll take a couple days to receive the compolete list of award winners, we've dedicated a small section of images in teh gallery below to help satisfy your appetite. Once we receive the final list of winners, you'll find that list of the group winners right here.
In the meantime, check out the stats on this years show!

Dir: Craig Zisk. US. 2013. 93mins
Independent American dramedy The English Teacher may cover some familiar comic terrain but it does so with a fair amount of warmth and charm, qualities that are enhanced by a cast featuring Julianne Moore, Greg Kinnear and Nathan Lane. Probably too slight to make much of a mark in cinemas it could still find an audience of quirky comedy appreciators through in-home distribution.
Moore is terrific as the tightly wound Linda and Kinnear is a perfectly pragmatic foil.
Joint US distributors Cinedigm and Tribeca Film have already made the film - which premiered at last month's Tribeca festival - available on VOD platforms in the States. And they are planning a May 17 limited theatrical release, putting the film up as counter programming to some of the early summer blockbusters.
In the second of her five scheduled 2013 releases, Moore plays Linda, a single, 40-year-old teacher who is apparently happy with a quiet, controlled life devoted to great literature and her students.
Things change when former star pupil and struggling playwright Jason (Haywire's Michael Angarano) returns to town. Linda enlists school drama teacher Carl (stage stalwart Lane) to help her kickstart Jason's career. But a romantic outburst puts her in conflict with Jason's overbearing father (the equally busy Kinnear) and a sexy student (UK-born Lily Collins, from Mirror Mirror).
Director Craig Zisk, known for such delicately paced TV series as Weeds and Parks And Recreation, keeps the tone breezy. But it's the cast that finds the telling moments in this tale of real life versus fantasy. Moore is terrific as the tightly wound Linda and Kinnear is a perfectly pragmatic foil. Lane provides the broad laughs in his those-who-can't-teach role.

(visited by Hans Augdoppler)
06-Jan-2002 -- Starting from 41°N 16°E on the search for snow I followed the river OFANTO (SS401/SS7) in direction WEST. I passed the city of Calitri and finally found mountains covered with snow. At the intersection SS400/SS164 I turned to NORTH, via Castelfranci, Paternopoli I reached the village Sant'Angelo all'Esca.
The track to the CP was found easily and the car was parked on the main road. A car parked in front of the nearby house and the German shepherd barked like always. I tried to call the residents but the curtains were closed and nobody responded.
A short walk to the SOUTH, up the hill and the already identified CP was easily found again. The tree was the already marked by an empty plastic bottle. Therefore I didn't have any doubt to attach my CP-plate. A good overview to the villages of Sant'Angelo all'Esca (NW) and Fontanarosa (NE) is given.
As completion for this visit I had a small walk in direction to Gesualdo and took some photos of abandoned buildings and farmsteads. At Sant'Angelo all'Esca I stopped for fuel and then left this area towards the SOUTH, via Luogosano, Salerno back to Taranto. I had a marvellous view San Mango sul Calore (picture 10) in the falling twilight.

Wood Patio Furniture is actually less suitable for outdoor as susceptible to exposure to water and sunlight constantly. If wood is your choice, take care of on a regular basis. Teak wood is a material commonly used for outdoor furniture because of space naturally contains silica, which makes it resistant to fungal decay, the effects of water (such as rot and swelling), as well as chemicals. Teak wood is also resistant to fire, acid, and alkaline. There is a special oil to protect your teak furniture against weather and outside air.

Research Reveals Virtualization Is Still Black Box for IT Security
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Jan 29, 2013) - Research conducted by Varonis, the leading provider of comprehensive data governance software, found that data security in virtualized environments is often neglected by IT organizations, with 48% either reporting or suspecting unauthorized access to files on virtualized servers. The study, conducted at VM World conferencesi, suggests that there is a limited awareness of security matters when it comes to virtualized servers, with 70% of respondents having little or no auditing in place on virtual servers.
According to Gartner, there are more than 50 million installed virtual machines (VMs) on servers.ii In line with this, application servers were virtualized by almost all respondents (87%), mainly due to speedier deployment (76%) and disaster recovery (74%). On the other hand, those who do not virtualize cite disk storage (37%), performance (30%) and a lack of advantages (20%) as the three main reasons for not doing so.
Across different company sizes, one area that appears to be neglected by organizations is file security. While almost 60% said they were very careful about setting permissions and controlling subsequent updates, a revealing 70%, regardless of company size, had implemented little or no auditing -- even at the high end of the enterprise space. In fact, 20% of enterprises with more than 5,000 employees admitted to having no file logging capabilities in place.
The lack of sufficient security is further highlighted by 48% either reporting or suspecting unauthorized access to files on their virtualized servers -- putting sensitive company information at risk of being misused, lost or stolen. Surprisingly, even for those who do audit all activity, a significant 68% believe there is still unauthorized access.
"We suspect that for IT departments, virtualization may be something of a black box. We have found that, after a workload is virtualized, the actual details of managing file permissions and monitoring access is considered to be automatically 'taken care of.' It is also quite possible that the teams managing virtualization projects see file security and governance as outside their discipline. The security team may have no visibility of what is happening," said David Gibson, VP of Strategy at Varonis.
The results suggest that, while virtualization has been groundbreaking in allowing IT to isolate applications and services with a few clicks, it doesn't solve permissions management and access auditing -- in fact it might make it even more complex.
"Data protection, obviously, requires the same level of vigilance in a virtual environment -- and perhaps even more so given the complexities of managing multiple operating systems on a single computing box. For organizations to stay on top of their digital assets it is vital to further IT education in this area, both in terms of training staff in understanding virtual file systems, as well as in effectively using automation to uncover security holes, monitor activity, and control permissions," said Gibson.

Photography – macabre and beautiful all at once!
If you think that macabre can be beautiful, too, please view my photographic adventures – all that are cemeteries, graveyards, creepy dolls and abandonment / urban exploration. Of these various explorations, I am most drawn to the exploration of cemeteries and graveyards – they are full of history, amazing art, mystery, and stories. Stories of individuals and communities of those who are laid to rest there. My cemetery explorations have evolved from wanting to get that most creative photo, to also just documenting unique finds and doing research on those that I visit.

FuryIT necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 81 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
Fury IT , Fury I.T. (furyit.com)
Fury IT is a computer services and technology startup. The company is focused on providing computer services and repair to both residential and commercial clients. Fury IT is determined to provide quick, professional service to its customers with a modern, sleek style and presentation. The name implies a touch more attitude and spark than your average computer shop.
The logo from this contest will be central to the business and its core branding campaign and will be included on the company website, literature, uniforms, mailings, etc.
Being a computer repair business, we will be targeting anyone with computer needs. That means that both business as well as residential consumers will be sought. We will be seeking to present and maintain a high end image, without a high end price tag.
This contest is for the design of a computer business logo. Current ideas include a wrench, a microchip, printed circuit traces, etc. We have even gone as far as items that relate to the word 'fury'. Feel free to experiment within the guidelines below. We would prefer to stay away from the cliche keyboard and mouse logo, however thats not a requirement. We prefer logos where both symbol(s) and the brand name text are included together, but able to be separate from each other and used independently for specific branding campaigns or uses, rather than a interwoven or intermingled symbol/text creation. Variations will be accepted. By the same token, variations of the name itself as the logo (logotype) are also encouraged.
-Vector graphics format required
-Capitalisation variations are acceptable
-Punctuation of "I.T." is optional
-Type should be scalable to small and large presentation without loss of visual acuity or clarity, no small text or overly thin lines
-Adaptability to embroidery preferred for uniforms and merchandising
-Logo may be used in vehicle wraps
-Apply professionalism with a side of attitude. Contrasting the words "Fury" (the attitude) with "IT" (the professionalism) is an idea we have played with in regards to the typeface and fonts. This is only a train of thought, and not a rigid requirement.
-Two to three main colors would be our preference.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) has enrolled 49,712 acres of land owned by Rice-Land Lumber Co. in the Louisiana Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis) (RCW) Safe Harbor Program.
The Safe Harbor Management Agreement with Rice-Land Lumber, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rice University, established a baseline number of one RCW family group on the company's lands. Rice agreed to employ Larson & McGowin Inc. to manage the RCW on its land to contribute to the regional stability of the bird's populations in southwest Louisiana.
"We welcome all private landowners who support the department's wildlife species preservation efforts and Rice-Land is to be commended for their commitment," said LDWF Secretary Robert Barham.
Rice University has owned the lands enrolled, which includes acreage within Allen, Beauregard, Evangeline and Rapides parishes, for more than a century; timber harvest in the early 1900s funded development and construction of the university. This timberland has been managed by Larson & McGowin, Inc., for over a decade. "We are pleased to have the Safe Harbor Agreement in place which allows for continued forest management and promotes the recovery of the endangered RCW simultaneously," said Ron Long, interim vice president for investments and treasurer at Rice University.
The RCW is a federally and state-listed endangered species that inhabits open pine forests greater than 60 years old. Rice-Land Lumber has agreed to intensively manage 219 acres in Beauregard Parish for nesting and foraging habitat and to perform prescribed burning.
"The RCW Safe Harbor Program represents LDWF's commitment to work with private landowners who want to proactively manage for endangered species on their property," said Eric Baka, RCW Safe Harbor coordinator. "The Safe Harbor Program helps remove the perceived disincentives associated with endangered species management and rewards landowners for their actions."
LDWF received a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Section 10 permit, authorizing it to administer the RCW Safe Harbor Program in January 2005. Multiple partners helped shaped the final document, including nongovernmental organizations, private landowners, environmental consultants and state and federal agencies. The RCW Safe Harbor Program is designed to encourage landowners to actively and voluntarily manage pine timberlands for the benefit of the RCW while reducing the fear of having an endangered species on their property. Landowners agree to employ one or more of five voluntary habitat management strategies that have a net conservation benefit for the RCW. These strategies include forest management, hardwood midstory management, prescribed burning, RCW cavity management and RCW population management.
The Safe Harbor program allows landowners greater flexibility to manage their forest resources while benefiting the RCW through baseline shifts. Essentially the landowner increases its RCW population via the installation of recruitment clusters and reassigns baseline responsibilities with LDWF approval. This provision of the Safe Harbor Program allows for greater stability for RCW populations by aggregating previously demographically isolated groups.
With the addition of the Rice lands, LDWF has 15 landowners enrolled in the RCW Safe Harbor Program, totaling 481,332 acres, with 101 baseline RCW groups and 2 above-baseline RCW groups. LDWF is currently working with numerous other landowners interested in enrolling in the Louisiana RCW Safe Harbor Program.
Landowners interested in the Louisiana RCW Safe Harbor Program or information regarding RCW management can contact Eric Baka, RCW Safe Harbor coordinator, at email@example.com or 318-487-5890.
For more information, contact Eric Baka at 318-487-5890 or email@example.com.

Even If NHL Melts, The Outdoor OfficeMax Hockey City College Classic Is Coming
Special to NYSportsJournalism
October 11, 2012: Among the casualties of the current NHL lockout are the 2012-13 pre-season, most of the games in October and, possibly, the outdoor Winter Classic scheduled to take place in the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) Stadium. But fans can still satisfy their Hockey Jones elsewhere.
OfficeMax has signed a deal to become title sponsorship of the Hockey City Classic in Chicago, the first outdoor college hockey doubleheader at Soldier Field, which is scheduled for Feb. 17, 2013. Soldier Stadium opened in 1924 but has since been completely renovated.
Financial terms of the title sponsorship deal were not disclosed.
The OfficeMax Hockey City Classic is being organized by Intersport, a Chicago-based sports and entertainment marketing agency, in partnership with Soldier Field, the Chicago Park District and the Chicago Sports Commission.
The doubleheader will feature Notre Dame against Miami and Minnesota taking on Wisconsin.
Other sponsors for the event include Citi and La Quinta.
The OfficeMax Hockey City Classic will be preceded by two weeks of events from Feb. 1-18. Activities will include two days of free public skating; youth, high school and adult hockey events; and private ice rentals.
"OfficeMax is pleased to sponsor the Hockey City Classic to bring collegiate hockey to a premier Chicago arena and winter excitement to the region," John Kenning, president of contract for Naperville, Ill.-based OfficeMax, said in a statement.
"We're as much a member of the Chicagoland community as we are a business here, and we're pleased to support an event that promises to both entertain and celebrate this great city."
According to Charlie Besser, Intersport president and CEO, "It is an honor to have OfficeMax lend its strength to the Hockey City Classic as the title sponsor. Building a great event for Chicago is good for business and OfficeMax is demonstrating great leadership."

Courtney Love's daughter wants to live with her grandmother.
Frances Bean Cobain, the 17-year-old daughter of Love and the late Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain, was taken from her mom's custody this week, according to a court order.
She is now in the custody of Cobain's mother Wendy O'Connor and Kurt Cobain's sister Kimberly Dawn Cobain, The Associated Press reported.
There was no word in the three-page order about why the guardianship was changed, though Courtney Love's lawyer said rumors of a possible drug relapse by the singer -- who has spent time in jail, on probation and under house arrest for past drug abuse-- were unfounded.
"Courtney's been clean for years and is perfectly fine," the lawyer, Keith A. Fink, told People. "This is simply about Frances preferring to live with her grandmother at this time."
He added: "Frances is 17 and a strong-willed child, and this is a decision she made on her own. No matter what, Courtney loves her daughter more than anything in the world."
Frances Bean was last taken under O'Connor's custody in 2003 following her mother's arrest for breaking into an ex-boyfriend's home, People reported.
Love regained legal control over her daughter in January 2005.
In an interview with Harpers's Bazaar last year, Frances Bean described her grandmother as "probably the person I respect most out of anybody in the world."
Cobain's mother and sister will have custody of Frances Bean until February but won't be able to access her trust, the court order reads. A court hearing will be held Feb. 10.

Ultimately you can blame Mumford and Sons. If their brand of poshboy folk hadn't become so utterly ubiquitous in the last few years then Johnny Flynn's likeable and occasionally quite lovely third album proper wouldn't be dragged down so often by the comparison. It's terribly unfair and it's certainly not Flynn's fault - he came from the same scene as his waistcoated, banjo-toting brethren; he carries the same influences, and in most respects he's the better act, warmer, more human, and less focused on authentic hoe-down-where's-me-washboard musicality. If you'd never heard Mumford and Chums Country Mile would be at least 50 per cent improved as a listening experience. Sadly we're now programmed to hear a certain flavour of earnest folk and go 'urgh!' It's become a Pavlovian response, a gag reflex, and it must be a millstone around poor old Johnny Flynn's neck.
That said, he really doesn't help himself- there are moments on Country Mile so appallingly twee they don't just stop at parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, they stock a full spice-rack of quaint English flavours. Flynn's lyrics are the worst offender; while his stock-in-trade is a kind of wistful earnestness amid idyllic imagery, occasionally he turns in dross that makes Sixpence None The Richer sound like Public Enemy. "The lady looked us over" goes 'After Elliot "she told us 'now you stay quite still and I'll fetch in some clover'"... "Holly-go-lightly bright as the day," goes the chorus "fresh as the moon and stale as the hay". It's unforgivably trite. At one point he tells us that "then we took some tea" which is probably the point in the recording process where the lyrics got written, during a quick break over biscuits. No other explanation is possible, although perhaps accusations of overt tweeness are a little unfair on album that actually has a song called 'Fol-De-Rol': we should know what we're getting.
It's a shame the lyrics are so half-cooked, because musically Country Mile contains some genuinely robust and enjoyable songcraft. Flynn is like a good carpenter - his melodies and chord progressions are wonderfully well constructed and there's something admirable about his sturdy craftsmanship, even if whole is ultimately a little wooden. There's an analogue warmth and a comfort to almost every song, belaying the references to winter and chills that crop up throughout. Opener 'Country Mile' is great, its satisfyingly muscular drop having the feel of a vintage radio session. Stronger still is debut single 'The Lady Is Risen', with its haunting backing vocals and smoky Sixties guitar and brass. The words might not be much cop, but when they tumble out of Flynn as they do here, and later on the Wurlitzered 'Bottom Of The Sea Blues' they achieve a momentum and flow that does impress.
The album peaks with its most gentle moments. 'Gypsy Hymn' is exactly as its title suggests - the melody sounds centuries old, its harmonies feeling genuinely hymnal, while the gentle waltz of 'Einstein's Idea', about Flynn's two year old son, is properly lovely. Here those plain lyrics stop feeling twee and become admirably uncomplicated. As he sings the "oh my darling" refrain of the chorus the affection feels genuine. Despite the harvest festival charm that carries the record, its heart is here, at its starkest, most honest moments.

Veenstra family
Veenstra, a Dutch Mennonite family originating in Veenwouden, Friesland, where (1) Pieter Cornelis was a member and probably a preacher of the Mennonite congregation ca. 1730. His son (2) Fokke Pieters was a preacher at Nieuwe Niedorp 1767-1784. Another son of (1) Pieter was (3) Cornelis Pieters Veenstra (1731-1777), who was a preacher of the Oude-Sluis congregation 1763 (or 1767)-1777. His son (4) Hendrik Cornelis Veenstra served at Helder Huisduinen 1799-1804, Middelie 1804-1806, Ouddorp 1806-1814, and Den Burg 1814-1843. They were all lay preachers. Only (4) Hendrik had received some theological training from Pastor Sytze H. Hoekstra. (5) Fokke Veenstra (1812-34), a son of (4) Hendrik, studied at the Amsterdam Mennonite Seminary, but died during his studies.
There have been a number of other Mennonite preachers by this name who were probably not related to this family: Jacob Ruurds Veenstra served at Blokzijl 1786-d.1793 and Djurre Sakes Veenstra was a lay preacher at Akkrum 1789-d.1826, "a man of great ability" (Blaupot ten Cate). Neither had theological training.

BMI Says Nothing About Your Health
By Peter Janiszewski
If you go to your physician's office and inquire about your weight status, he or she will measure your height and weight to derive your BMI (weight in kg divided by height in m squared). But how useful is this measure anyways? What does it tell you about your health? And finally, how helpful is it to measure when assessing the effect of a lifestyle (diet/exercise) intervention?

What is BMI?
If you go to your physician's office and inquire about your weight status, he or she will measure your height and weight to derive your BMI
(weight in kg divided by height in m squared). Then they will compare your BMI to that of established criteria to decide whether you are underweight (30 kg/m2) . Often times, this measure alone determines whether or not you receive lifestyle treatment.
But how useful is this measure anyways? What does it tell you about your health? And finally, how helpful is it to measure when assessing the effect of a lifestyle (diet/exercise) intervention?
Weigh In
This work is in the public domain
Before I get into the various limitations of BMI, I must point out that the measure is quite useful across large populations,
as it is well correlated with the degree of adiposity, and of course it is extremely simple to measure in clinical practice.
Nevertheless, here are some of the key issues with BMI, particularly when used on an individual basis.
1. BMI does not differentiate between the Michelin Man and The Terminator
Ok, we might as well just get this abundantly obvious problem out of the way. I have heard countless times how one buff celebrity or another (e.g. Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Rock etc.) would be classified as overweight or obese according to their BMI due to their excess amount of muscle. Yes, this is absolutely true. BMI is a measure of relative weight; fat mass and muscle mass are not distinguished.

Not the Main Issue....
Here's what is equally true: the large majority of the general population with a BMI in the overweight or obese range does not
look like Jerry Maguire or the Terminator. Also, if you seek advice from your physician about your "excess weight", in case you have body dysmorphia and cannot yourself decide, they will quickly be able to assess whether your excess weight is due to your bulging muscles or your rolls of adipose tissue. So while this is an obvious problem, I would argue is not the main issue.
Apples and Pears
2. BMI does not differentiate between apples and pears
For over 60 years, we have known that independent of how heavy a person is, the distribution of their body weight, or more generally the shape of their body is a key predictor of health risk. It is now well established that individuals who deposit much of their body weight around their midsection, the so called apple-shaped, are at much greater risk of disease and early mortality in contrast to the so called pear-shaped, who carry their weight more peripherally, particularly in the lower body. Thus, two individuals with a BMI of 32 kg/m2 could have drastically different body shapes, and thus varying risk of disease and early mortality.

Waist Circumference
Fortunately, a very simple measure allows you or your physician to decide whether your elevated BMI is of the apple or pear variety:
waist circumference. Current thresholds suggest that a waist circumference above 88 cm in women and 102cm in men denotes abdominal obesity. Interestingly, for the same BMI level, those individuals with an elevated waist circumference have a greater risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, mortality, and numerous other health outcomes. Thus, as studies from our laboratory have consistently suggested, waist circumference may be a more important measure of obesity and health risk than BMI. Currently, most researchers would agree that waist circumference should be measured along with BMI to adequately classify obesity-related health risk.
You can measure your own waist circumference by using a tape measure and wrapping it around your abdomen, at the level of the top of your hip bones. Make sure you measure at the end of exhalation, without sucking in your gut – you're only fooling yourself!
The Biggest Drawback
3. BMI does not always budge in response to lifestyle change
Given the number of papers my supervisor, Dr. Ross, and I have published on the topic, I would argue this is the biggest drawback of using BMI: it doesn't always change even though you may be getting healthier.
This is particularly so if you adopt a physically active lifestyle, along with a balanced diet, but are not necessarily cutting a whole lot of calories. This lack of change in BMI or body weight is all too often interpreted as a failure, resulting in the disappointed individual resuming their inactive lifestyle and unhealthy eating patterns.

Is Change Necessary?
However, as we have argued most recently in a paper in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology, several lines of evidence suggest
that weight loss or changes in BMI are not absolutely necessary to observe substantial health benefit from a healthy lifestyle. Thus, an apparent resistance to weight-loss should never be a reason for stopping your healthy behaviors.
First, it is well established that increasing physical activity and associated improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with profound reductions in coronary heart disease and related mortality independent of weight or BMI. Second, exercise (even a single session) is associated with substantial reduction in several cardiometabolic risk factors (such as blood pressure, glucose tolerance, blood lipids, etc.) despite minimal or no change in body weight.
Focus on Healthy Behavior
Third, waist circumference and abdominal fat (arguably, the most dangerous fat) can be substantively reduced (10-20%)
in response to exercise with minimal or no weight loss. In fact, significant reductions in fat mass often occur concurrent with equal increases in muscle mass in response to physical activity – equal but opposite (and beneficial!) changes which are not detected by alterations in body weight on the bathroom scale, and thus BMI.
So in the end, while BMI surely has its strengths in ease of use and pretty good reliability in large populations, on an individual basis, the greater focus should be on healthy behaviors: physical activity and a healthy diet. And if you must measure something, check your waist circumference.

Pakistani opposition leader Imran Khan suspended talks with the government Thursday after it appointed a new police chief in the capital ahead of a possible crackdown on thousands of anti-government protesters who have besieged parliament.
Khan, a famed cricketer-turned-politician, and fiery cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri have led massive protests from the eastern city of Lahore to the gates of parliament in Islamabad to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, accusing him of rigging the vote that brought him to power last year.
The protests have raised fears of unrest in the nuclear-armed US ally with a history of political turmoil, and after a request from the country's powerful military the government convened talks with Khan and Qadri's representatives early Thursday.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi, a senior leader of Khan's party, told reporters that the opposition presented six demands, including Sharif's resignation.
The other demands include electoral reforms, setting up a caretaker government, removing top election officials and accountability for anyone found to have rigged last year's elections, which marked the first democratic transfer of power in Pakistan after a long history of coups and dictatorships.
It is unlikely Sharif would give ground on those demands, which the government considers illegal.
Later on Thursday, Khan told his supporters that the government had removed the Islamabad police chief for not using force against him, and warned that the new police chief, Khalid Khattak, would follow orders to disperse the protests, which have thus far been peaceful.
"I have suspended the talks with the government," Khan said. He warned that his supporters would storm the prime minister's office if authorities launched any crackdown. It was not immediately clear if Qadri was also pulling out of the talks.
The government denied it had any plans to confront the protesters.
"We want to carry forward the talks to solve this issue," Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid said.
Another Cabinet minister, Ahsan Iqbal, said government negotiators held initial talks with Khan's Tehrik-e-Insaf party -- the legislature's third largest -- before dawn Thursday. "We again went to an agreed place today for more talks, but the team of Imran Khan did not turn up," he said.
He added that the government wanted to find a "win-win solution."
Tensions spiked Wednesday when Qadri asked his supporters to block the main gates of the parliament building and prevent lawmakers from going in or out.
He also asked supporters to prevent Sharif from walking from parliament to his nearby office, but the prime minister later managed to use a back exit.
On Thursday, Sharif was back in parliament, where lawmakers adopted a resolution rejecting the opposition's "unconstitutional demands" and vowing to "uphold the supremacy of the constitution" and the "sovereignty of the parliament."
Sharif was forced from office after a previous stint as prime minister in 1999, when the then-army chief Pervez Musharraf seized power in a coup.
