NORFOLK -- Ever since the Abraham Lincoln pulled into its new homeport at Norfolk Naval Station in August, the crew has been working to prepare the aircraft carrier for its midlife nuclear refueling.
But less than a week before the ship was set to steam to the shipyard in Newport News, the Navy announced it was postponing the elaborate overhaul because of a lack of funding -- the latest in a line of drastic defense cuts tied to the federal budget crisis.
The Lincoln will remain moored at the Norfolk base until Congress resolves the shortfall created by its inability to agree on a budget, a Navy spokesman said.
"The fiscal uncertainty created by not having an appropriations bill, and the measures we are forced to take as a result, place significant stress on an already strained force and undermine the stability of a fragile industrial base," Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Chris Servello said in a statement.
The overhaul was timed to take place midway through the 50-year lifespan of the Lincoln, which was commissioned in 1989.
In addition to the Lincoln not being ready to deploy for a longer period, the postponement also affects other carriers scheduled to enter the shipyard.
Particularly affected will be the dismantling of the recently inactivated carrier Enterprise, set to begin in June, and the pending refueling of the carrier George Washington, scheduled for 2016.
The change will affect numerous jobs at Newport News Shipbuilding. The Lincoln's "refueling and complex overhaul" is expected to take at least three years and cost $3.3 billion. Servello said the Navy's funding is short by $1.5 billion.
Because of that deficit, the Navy has not yet signed a contract with shipyard owner Huntington Ingalls to do the work.
The Navy has already paid the shipyard $702 million for design and engineering work and supplies.
Delaying the work comes with a cost, too: Servello said keeping the ship docked in Norfolk will cost the Navy an extra $10 million a month.
In a letter to employees Friday afternoon, Newport News Shipbuilding President Matt Mulherin stressed that the overhaul had been delayed, not canceled. He said shipyard employees would continue to work on the ship while it's docked in Norfolk in preparation for the eventual overhaul.
"We are very disappointed and frustrated at this turn of events," Mulherin wrote.
Workers at the shipyard -- the only yard in the nation capable of building and refueling nuclear-powered carriers -- had been preparing a dry dock this week in anticipation of the ship's arrival on Thursday, said shipyard spokeswoman Christie Miller. The delay will raise the final price tag for the overhaul, Miller said.
The move will also affect the local economy.
Weeks ago, the Navy released a list of tentative cuts because of the budget squeeze, including plans to cancel third- and fourth-quarter ship maintenance. Retired Rear Adm. Joe Carnevale, a defense adviser with the Shipbuilders Council of America, said those cancellations will cost tens of thousands of shipyard jobs nationwide and will have ripple effects for companies down the supply chain.
"In delaying the Lincoln's midlife overhaul, that's just going to add to the job losses," Carnevale said.
Many Lincoln sailors and their families are still getting adjusted to life in Hampton Roads after arriving in August. The carrier left its previous homeport of Everett, Wash., in December 2011, then traveled around the world on an eight-month deployment before arriving in Norfolk.
That deployment was originally slated to end in May, but tensions in the Persian Gulf twice delayed the ship's homecoming.
The crew has spent the past several months stripping the ship of unnecessary equipment and getting it ready to enter the shipyard. On Friday afternoon, the ship's captain alerted the crew to the new delay.
Lt. Cmdr. Steve Curry, a Lincoln spokesman, said the crew will continue preparing the ship for the overhaul.
"There's a lot of work still going on the ship," Curry said. "We will proceed with our daily schedule."
Virginia legislators issued statements condemning the across-the-board cuts slated to kick in on March 1 and warning that they would severely hamper the Navy's ability to perform.
Deferring the work is "yet another example of how these reckless and irresponsible defense cuts in Washington will have a long-term impact on the Navy's ability to perform its missions," Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Chesapeake, said.
"The men and women who serve our nation in uniform deserve better than this," said Rep. Bobby Scott, a Newport News Democrat. "The men and women at Newport News Shipbuilding who build, repair, and maintain the most advanced naval fleet in the world, deserve better than this."
The announcement comes two days after defense officials canceled deployment of the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman. The 5,000 sailors in the Truman strike group were to have deployed Friday, but the budget squeeze will keep them in port.
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., said Friday's decision shows the urgent need for a solution in Washington.
"It will cost taxpayers more to delay this work, and it adds uncertainty to thousands of military families and our shipyard workers," Warner said.

A Community of Mentors for Pre-service Teachers
As a teacher-educator, I mentor pre-service teachers in my courses for typically fifteen weeks. That means that an essential part of my work with teachers of our future is to introduce them to others who can teach them for life. Just as Ive been supported and encouraged by membership in NCTE, I want my students to develop professional connections with people who can provide ideas, answers, and inspiration. In every course, I encourage pre-service teachers to join the national organization and attend the national convention. And yet, because the convention is frequently too distant or too costly for my students, it is the on-line community that serves as our life-line.
I ask my students to visit the NCTE website, to read and review Position Statements, to debate and apply ideas found in journal articles, and perhaps most practically and transformatively, to view the ReadWriteThink website as their community of mentors. Here are just some of the activities from ReadWriteThink that Ive used to foster that relationship:
- Introduce pre-service teachers to an NCTE resource and community they might not know about. Ask students to browse the ReadWriteThink site and to post a classroom blog entry about a specific idea, suggestion, or resource that catches their attention.
- Give pre-service teachers a sense of options in teaching, freeing them from the one right answer/one right lesson approach. Ask students to identify at least three different lessons found on RWT for teaching a concept (such as lessons on the sounds of poetry or the use of punctuation), to briefly describe each lesson, and to then rank the order in which they would be likely to use each lesson, explaining and defending their choices.
- Encourage pre-service teachers to build bridges across grade levels. Ask students to find a lesson from a grade level different from what they are teaching and to adapt the lesson for their own students, reflecting on the changes and insights gained in this exercise.
- Support pre-service teachers informed and creative uses of technology. Ask students to research the Student Interactives on the RWT website and then to include one in an original lesson plan.
To put it simply, I team teach with ReadWriteThink. Not only do my students learn from a wide variety of diverse mentors, but as a class, we have the rich opportunity to discuss the complexities of borrowing, sampling, and adapting others ideas. ReadWriteThink models a critically important truth about excellence in teaching: we are all life-long learners who are continually obligated to credit others for our inspirations and ideas.

Brilliant Bayern humiliate Barcelona and book place in all German final
Barcelona 0 Bayern Munich 3 (Bayern win 7-0 on aggregate)
Brilliant Bayern Munich completed a stunning Champions League semi-final mauling of Barcelona to set up a mouthwatering Wembley final against Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund.
Leading 4-0 from the first leg, Bayern were similarly clinical at the Nou Camp tonight with second-half goals from Arjen Robben, Gerard Pique - who put through his own net - and Thomas Muller sealing a one-sided win over a sorry Barca side for whom Lionel Messi was an unused substitute.
The victory sees Bayern through to their third final in four years and they will hope to improve on their runner-up finishes against Inter Milan in 2010 and Chelsea last year when they face Real Madrid's conquerors Dortmund - in the competition's first all-German final - on May 25.
Barca were up against it with only three teams ever having overturned a four-goal first-leg deficit in Europe, and their chances of joining that list looked even slimmer after Messi was judged not fit enough to start the game.
The Argentina forward has been struggling with a hamstring problem in recent weeks and, although he scored after appearing as a second-half substitute in Saturday's Primera Division draw with Athletic Bilbao, coach Tito Vilanova opted only to name him on the bench this evening.
Even with Messi in their side, Barca barely troubled Bayern during the first leg, and it was the German champions who dominated the early exchanges tonight as well.
Robben and Philipp Lahm both looked poised to give Bayern what would almost certainly have been a tie-ending away goal in the opening 20 minutes but Pique produced brilliant last-ditch tackles to deny both players.
Barca's first serious threat on goal came in the 24th minute when Pedro Rodriguez saw his 30-yard drive tipped over by Manuel Neuer as it arrowed towards the top corner.
Two minutes later Xavi volleyed a decent opening over from seven yards out while Adriano drew a relatively comfortable save from Neuer in the 40th minute, but those were rare moments of concern for Bayern in the opening period.
Barca remained unchanged at the start of the second half with Messi continuing on the bench, but any hopes the world's best player might later inspire an unlikely fightback disappeared three minutes after the restart as Bayern took the lead.
Robben picked up a long cross-field pass from David Alaba near the right touchline before racing into the area where he cut inside Adriano onto his favoured left foot and curled an unstoppable shot past Victor Valdes inside the far post.
That away goal left Barca needing to score six times to go through to a fourth final in eight years, and it proved well beyond them.
With the tie gone, Vilanova opted to keep Messi under wraps and his first two changes saw him send on Alexis Sanchez and Thiago for Spain duo Xavi and Andres Iniesta.
Despite those changes Bayern continued to look comfortable and they doubled their lead 18 minutes from time.
Franck Ribery got in behind Dani Alves down the left and his cross was sliced into his own net by Pique with Mario Mandzukic lurking behind.
Ribery was also involved four minutes later as Bayern heaped more misery on Barca with a third goal.
The home side had actually come close to making it 2-1 moments earlier when Villa's glancing header hit the outside of the post, but it was game, set and match for the Germans in the 76th minute when Ribery burst past Alex Song before dinking a cross to the far post where Muller climbed highest to head high home.
Shell-shocked Barca tried to find a consolation goal late on but Jupp Heynckes' side held firm to record a 22nd win in their last 23 competitive games and seal their spot in the final.

CONWAY, Ark.--Sophomore Taylor Bassett hit her 21st career home run today to break the Birmingham-Southern softball career record and help the Panthers sweep Hendrix, 2-1 and 7-4, at Warrior Field in Conway, Ark.
The pair of wins moves the Panthers to 22-10 on the season and a conference-leading 13-3 in Southern Athletic Association action. BSC wins the series against Hendrix, 3-1, after yesterday's split which saw the Panthers' conference win streak end at 11.
In game one, Panther scoring started in the second inning when Fronk led off the inning with a double to right-center. Four batters later she was brought home by an RBI single from sophomore Joanna Jernigan.
The Panthers would add another run in the top of the fourth off an RBI from senior Chelsea Fernandez that scored freshman Katelyn Murray. The two runs would be enough for Fronk, who only surrendered a run while earning the complete game victory, to improve to 16-8 on the season.
Game two saw more scoring action, as the Panthers opened with three runs in the first courtesy of an RBI double down the left-field line from sophomore Taylor Bassett, an RBI single to left-center from sophomore Alyssa Statham, and an RBI double from Murray.
Hendrix tied it up in the bottom of the first, but BSC broke the tie in the third when Bassett led off with a home run to left field, her 14th of the year and the 21st of her career. Bassett's name now tops the list in the BSC records book for career and single-season home runs. Both records were previously held by Nikki Rombough, who played from 2002-2006.
The Warriors tied it up again in the bottom of the third with a single run, but the Panthers added another three in the top of the sixth courtesy of an RBI double from Jernigan and a two-RBI double from Statham.
Fronk threw the complete game again, moving to 17-8 on the year after giving up 10 hits and four earned runs with one strikeout in seven innings of work.
The Panthers return home next weekend for the final home games of the year, hosting Berry College in a four-game series with noon doubleheaders on Saturday, April 13, and Sunday, April 14, at BSC Softball Park.

SAG honoree Dick Van Dyke glad "I made 'em smile"
LOS ANGELES Forget dishonest modesty. Dick Van Dyke seems nothing short of gobsmacked about receiving the life-achievement honor at Sunday's Screen Actors Guild Awards.
"They must've gotten to the 'V's," he joked.
Though probably best known for "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (1961-66) and Walt Disney's big-screen musical "Mary Poppins" (1964), the 87-year-old Van Dyke said that, with the SAG Award, "I kind of find a home. I've always been a bit of an orphan, because actors say, 'Well, he's more of a dancer.' And dancers say, 'No. He's really a singer.' And singers say, 'No. He's an actor.' So, now I've got a home. I can actually refer to these people as my peers."}
His career has spanned eight decades, starting with work as a disc jockey and a standup comic in the late '40s. He even worked as a national television morning-show host, with no less than Walter Cronkite serving as his news anchor. But perhaps Van Dyke's most critical career break came in 1960, when director Gower Champion hired him as the male lead opposite Chita Rivera in the new Broadway-bound stage musical "Bye Bye Birdie."
Van Dyke had no professional dance experience, and out-of-town tryouts did not go well. "They were going to fire me in Philadelphia," Van Dyke recalled during a recent interview at the Screen Actors Guild headquarters. "I was still nervous and tight."
Nevertheless, Champion refused to terminate Van Dyke, who would go on to New York with Rivera, and win a Tony award for his performance.
Just about a year later, Van Dyke was starring on his own sitcom, in the role of a television-comedy writer on "The Dick Van Dyke Show." Three prime-time Emmys for Van Dyke and more than 50 years later, the series remains revered by many critics as one of the earliest models of great workplace comedy.
"That whole show was the genius of (show creator and writer) Carl Reiner, who said he wrote Jewish comedy for gentile actors," Van Dyke said.
During the series' run, Van Dyke also enjoyed big-screen hits, including the 1963 "Birdie" movie and the 1964 all-star comedy, "What a Way to Go!" But biggest of all was "Mary Poppins," in which he introduced the Oscar-winning song "Chim Chim Cher-ee," but for which he also took, and still takes, serious ribbing, even from his leading lady and longtime pal Julie Andrews.
"She still kids me about my so-called Cockney accent," Van Dyke said, adding a line of defense: "I had an Irish coach ... so he wasn't any better than me."
The first sitcom and "Poppins" are likely to be his most enduring works, but Van Dyke has never stopped working, with other TV series (including a short-lived 1976 variety show, "Van Dyke and Company," which earned him a fourth prime-time Emmy), stage appearances and films.
"My favorite unknown movie is 'The Comic,'" Van Dyke said, referring to the 1969 drama, which reunited him with "Van Dyke Show'''s Reiner, who directed. "We felt we actually captured the feel of the silent era." The film is loosely based on the life of silent legend Buster Keaton, who Van Dyke knew personally, adored, and at whose funeral he delivered the eulogy. The two funny men also shared a personal demon: alcoholism.
These days, Van Dyke sings with his vocal group, The Vantasix, and is enjoying life in Los Angeles with his new wife, makeup artist Arlene Silver, who he happened to meet seven years ago . . . at the SAG Awards.
Van Dyke's favorite professional life achievement?
"That I made 'em smile," he replied, smiling himself. "And I think that's asking enough."
The 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards is set for Sunday in Los Angeles.

For young adults watching Tuesday night TV, it was a toss-up between the non-superheroes of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and the wannabe superstars of "The Voice."
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," the "Avengers" offshoot from producer Joss Whedon, had a successful launch Tuesday night, according to early numbers from Nielsen.
The ABC series, which is Marvel's first television effort since its acquisition by the Walt Disney Co., drew nearly 12 million viewers and posted a 4.6 among 18-to-49-year-old viewers, the demographic most coveted by advertisers.
That's a strong debut, and the show did particularly well among its younger core audience. Its demo rating increased slightly from its first half-hour to its second, indicating that viewers stuck with the program. A ratings point equals roughly 1.3 million viewers.
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." more than doubled the demo number the network posted last year in the same time period with the "Dancing With the Stars" results show. ABC is also expecting to get a lot more viewers when recorded viewing is factored in.
With the "S.H.I.E.L.D." lead-in, ABC's new comedy "The Goldbergs" was up 78% from last year's beginning installment of "Happy Endings" for a 3.2. "Trophy Wife," another new comedy, was up 35% from last year's "Don't Trust the B in Apt. 23."
The ABC drama "Lucky 7," about lottery winners, wasn't so lucky, down 32% from last fall's "Private Practice" for a 1.3.
On NBC, the second night of blind auditions for "The Voice" averaged more than 15.6 million viewers over the course of its two-hour Tuesday premiere and averaged a rating of 4.6 among 18- to 49-year-olds. The demo rating was up 15% from last year's Tuesday opening but fell 10% from the Monday night kickoff episode.
The heat from "The Voice" helped light up NBC's second-season premiere of "Chicago Fire," which increased its rating 47% from last year to a 2.8. The firefighter show drew 9.25 million viewers.
CBS had a busy night too, with premieres of "NCIS," NCIS: Los Angeles" and "Person of Interest" drawing a total average audience of about 16 million in prime time, making it the most-watched network of the night.
"NCIS," in its 11th season, was first in viewership, bringing in 19.5 million people, followed by "NCIS: Los Angeles" with 16.17 million.
The numbers were generally down from last year though. "NCIS" pulled a 3.4 rating, down 17% from last fall's premiere, while "NCIS: LA" fell 12% to a 3.0, its lowest season opener. "Person of Interest," in a new time slot, fell 21% to a 2.3.
Up against much stronger competition compared with last week, Fox's comedy lineup was down across the board.
The critically despised Seth MacFarlane comedy "Dads" dropped 32% from last week's disappointing premiere to a 1.5, while the new Andy Samberg cop comedy "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" slipped 31% to a 1.8. "New Girl" was down 28% week to week and "The Mindy Project" fell 21%.

Although, I did get some genealogy goodness in the mail last week....my third great grandpa, Richard Brown's 23 page civil war pension record!
Although the $22 fee for the record was a bit steep for my liking, it was worth it. Here's some info (and types of info) I learned through the records:
Info about Richard:
1) His MANY addresses from the time directly after the Civil War until his death
2) Death certificate
3) Marriage date and location
4) Civil War entry date and location (he was 16 when he joined)
5) Name of the two units under which he served during the war (he was transferred midway through the war)-- Company E, 95th Illinois Infantry and Company E, 47th Illinois Infantry
6) Medical history during war
7) His signature
8) His occupation (farmer)
Richard's wife and chilldren:
1) Addresses
2) Names...Including the name of my great great grandpa's twin who died at birth, wife's maiden name, and children's married names
3) Birthdates
The most interesting thing I learned was that Richard was disabled as a result of the war. The event took place after the war had ended and one day before Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
Richard's personal account of the incident is contained in his pension record:
[April 14, 1865] Richard and fellow Union soldiers were playing cards on the deck of a steamboat, the "Sioux City", on the Red River in Louisiana, when enemy fire hit a tack box where Richard was sitting. The tack box went airborne and hit Richard on his lower back.
Richard spent some time in a Louisiana hospital before returning to duty. Despite his injury, Richard served until January 21, 1866.
Richard received compensation for his injury, as his ability to work was limited due to his injury.
Richard died many years later, and was buried in Rockford. His burial location doesn't have a marker. I am doing research to determine how to get a marker for his grave, as I was told he should have one due to his service in the Civil War. If you are knowledgeable about this subject, I'd love more information.

Hi RW,
Nice talk page. --Optimist 11:01, April 7, 2007 (EDT)
- Thanks. --RWSmith 19:01, April 13, 2007 (EDT)
1. thanks for the credit for the userboxes. if you look at my wikipedia user page, you will see why i like them so much User:YAKatz.
2. i am not sure who put this article together (it seems like you), but at the end, i am not sure where it is going from there (in the instructions). if you tell me what you planned to write, i might be able to finish it up. --Yakatz 15:02, April 29, 2007 (EDT)
- Yeah, I adapted it for this site; but, you are certainly welcome to edit workpages. --RWSmith 00:18, April 30, 2007 (EDT)
Userbox: User eagle scout
i am trying to make the userbox accept an argument for whether the user has any palms.
any idea's why it wont work?
--Yakatz 15:05, April 29, 2007 (EDT)
- Nah; I tried also... to no avail. I do know there are some differences in the s/w run on "the" Wikipedia and MediaWiki. I'm still trying to learn what we can and cannot do with this code. A programmer I am not; I'm a hardware geek, by trade. ;-) --RWSmith 23:39, April 29, 2007 (EDT)
Hey Man
Thanks for keeping order here. I noticed that you eliminated 2 vandals on 6/10. Nice Job!!! --Stranger 18:15, June 14, 2007 (EDT)
- Wow. Thanks for noticing and taking the time to say so. I'm humbled. We've really got a great core team of Sysops; but, this whole wiki thing is new to us, myself included. The site is new; --Thank you! Oh, wise and mighty Optimist!-- hence the low vandal rate. But, we've been getting hammered with the bots; so, I expecting things in the admin department's duties will be picking up, soon... Hopefully though, it'll be smooth and quite in the basement. --RWSmith 11:58, June 15, 2007 (EDT)
- You're welcome. I was wondering how you achieved the green box around the text at the top of the page. I was trying to format my talk page and could not figure it out. You can put it on my page or on this one, doesn't matter.--Stranger 14:07, June 15, 2007 (EDT)
- Never mind, I found out how...thanks anyway.--Stranger 14:40, June 15, 2007 (EDT)
Two Points
First off, the page for Citizenship in the Community. I have a question. Do we need to have it recommend R rated movies? It could lead to problems later. Second, you reverted my removal of two links on the Hiking page. I removed one because it is broken and leads to an error, and I edited the other to make its destination clearer. Why did you revert it? Sorry if you had a good reason, I'm relatively new to the wiki so I was just wondering if those were like that for a reason. Epmatsw 18:33, June 18, 2007 (EDT)
- First point... Good question. I'd ask that over on the Talk:Citizenship in the Community page.
- Second point... Since you also posted this over on Talk:Hiking, see my reply there --RWSmith 18:54, June 18, 2007 (EDT)
Userbox Templates Page
I suggest removing everything in Category:Userbox_Templates as it leads to confusion on the Category:Eagle_Scout_Users page and the templates dont do anything anyway.
- --Yakatz 16:49, June 26, 2007 (EDT)
It's just shorthand to display a template with a link. Like. . .I create Template:Foo; I'd use {{foo}} to show users how to use it on a page, and give them a link to the actual template so they can read the documentation. Is that what you meant? Blast 13:40, July 14, 2007 (EDT)
It's only fair for me to tell you- this wiki is awesome. I had my doubts, but I love it here and can't wait to contribute more to this! Great work, RW. Really- fantastic job :D
Discontinued MB List
Around a week and a half ago I proposed an idea for creating a list of discontinued merit badges and such and you said you'd get back to me in a few days or so about it. I was just wondering if I can go ahead and send you some stuff I've made now or hold off for a bit longer. Thanks; please respond asap. Take care. Swim4lyfe 22:32, September 5, 2007 (EDT)
- Don't worry about it; get to it when you can. I really can only do work with MBO during the weekends anyways, due to school and all. Nice template- see the stuff I wrote down. I categorized the merit badges in a different way (this was before you made your list) so if you want to see that one, just tell me.

After George W. Bush's final address, President-elect Obama asked Bush to request the remaining $350 billion of the Wall Street bailout fund; Bush agreed to do so. Meanwhile, Alcoa shares slid after it was downgraded by Deutsche Bank; Aetna cut its full-year profit outlook; but in counterpoint, reports say Citigroup could rake in as much as $3 billion in a deal for Smith Barney. Experts told CNBC that unemployment could be far worse than we think — but the market may have already bottomed.
Point/Counterpoint: Terrible Outlook vs Bottom Call
Brett Gallagher of Artio Global Management said the economy has deteriorated much more quickly than analysts have cut their expectations. And he's not convinced of the second-half rebound that's built into most forecasts.

But Fifth Third Asset Management's Mary Jane Matts said earnings-estimate data must be taken with a grain of salt. Matts believes that Q4 '08 will be marked as the economic bottom and the stock-market trough.
Job Picture Pretty... Ugly
DRW Trading Group's Lou Brien said the loss of 1 million jobs in a single month is not inconceivable, as the economy worsens. Ominous development: a 3.3 million-plus surge in the number of part-time workers. The trouble with calling a bottom now? Negative information continues to flow. This week's CPI could show the first decline since 1955 — the Fed is worried that this will encourage a deflationary psychology, and consumer habits will change for the worse.
BlackRock's Doll: Equities Will Boom This Year

Early Signs Point To Another Troublesome Week For the Markets
Ben Lichtenstein of TradersAudio.com said some key trading levels like Dow 8000 remain intact — but there's still downward pressure from last week's reversal when the S&P 500 hit 900. That reversal will continue to weigh down trading this week, and corporate earnings will not help.

It sounds possible that you may have a poltergeist haunting your house. Have you done any investigating of the history, taken pics, evp's etc.? ;D

from what i know the house is fairly new bout 50 yrs old and we are the second family to live here but the old family were a tad bit weird
Posted 29 June 2003 - 11:42 AM
well...I guess it comes down to what you want to know. I would suggest if you want to investigate start with taking pics and trying to collect an evp or two. See if you can get any answers there as well as researching the history of the house! Good Luck! If you need any assistance feel free to send me a personal message any time and I will try and help you out! ;D

"Ploutz-Snyder, Robert (JSC-SK)[USRA]" wrote
... I also ran into a snag using -margins- as I usually do after an
-xtmixed- model to obtain omnibus main effects for an ordinal factor
But my use of -margins- to get the omnibus main effect for time (as I

default prediction is a function of possibly stochastic quantities
other than e(b)
I've been following your discussion with Michael Mitchell about the
design of your analysis. I would like to pick up on your second
question concerning using -margins-, for which I have two comments.
1) The default predictor for -xtmelogit- is mu which has uses both
fixed and random effects. If you are interested in having the
predictive margins scaled as a linear predictor, you can use
. margins time, asbalanced atmeans predict(xb)
If you want to have your predictive margins scaled as a probabilities,
then -margins- can (will) only use the fixed effects of the model,
like this.
. margins time, asbalanced atmeans predict(mu fixedonly)
2) In any case, neither of the above is a "true" main effect because
the factor variables use dummy coding. You can use the -anovalator-
to get main effects (findit anovalator).
. anovalator time, predict(xb) /* or */
. anovalator time, predict(mu fixedonly)
I hope this is not too confusing.

Bale - 'I'll not play for Spurs again'
Gareth Bale has told Wales team-mates that he will not play for Spurs again, according to a report in the Sun.
The newspaper quotes a source in the Wales camp as saying: "Gareth is confused and bitter. He can't understand why Spurs have not agreed what would be the largest transfer fee in history.
"How could any player not be affected when he knows one of the world's biggest clubs has made a huge bid but that the deal isn't progressing? One thing's certain, he'll not play for Spurs again."
Bale remains in a state of limbo as discussions continue between Spurs and Real Madrid after a bid of £85 million was rebuffed. Bale, the newspaper reports, feels he is caught in limbo.
But Real's interest is cooling according to the Spanish media and it is reported that head coach Carlo Ancelotti has told club president Florentino Pérez that Bale is not integral to his plans this season.
Mundo Deportivo claimed that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy had begun to doubt whether Madrid can really afford the £170 million package of transfer and wages which the transfer would require.
These doubts may tally with what appears a change in message from Madrid's club figures in recent days. After Saturday's 3-0 win against Inter Milan in Saint Louis, Ancelotti answered a question about Bale by praising young attackers Jese Rodriguez and Alvaro Morata.
"Why talk about Bale when Jese and Morata have both played so well?" Ancelotti said. "They are young but incredibly talented."
Madrid president Florentino Perez's last comments on Bale were also lukewarm, when he told ESPN that £85 million "seems a lot" to spend on the player.

This is a compatibility guide to running Linux with the Asus Eee PC 1005PE laptop.
This page is just for discussing using Linux on the Asus Eee PC 1005PE. For a general discussion about this laptop you can visit the Asus Eee PC 1005PE page on LapWik.

After getting the laptop out of the box, I instantly updated the BIOS via ASUS Update (NOT ASUS Live Update). After that I got my Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit live thumbdrive, and plugged it into my 1005PE (-PU17). I went into BIOS and changed the boot to boot to USB. Once in the Ubuntu installer, I selected the full hard drive and installed without any issues. After installation was completed, I booted into Ubuntu, and found my keyboard and touchpad not working. I connected a keyboard and mouse via USB ports, and logged in and installed all the updates (the reason they did not work is because the hardware is newer than the drivers were in 9.10). After installing all updates, I rebooted, and found the same problem: keyboard and touchpad did not work. I unplugged the power and all USB connections and rebooted, and they worked.
Wireless worked right out of the installer, but I had read that there were issues with the wireless being "flaky". The work around that is suggested and that I used was: I went into the console and typed: "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic", and then installed that driver. Then I also typed: "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic". These made the wireless spot on and more stable.
The problem is the new hardware and the old drivers (or non-existent hardware). After fixing those it works amazing. I am getting 10+ hours on a charge (with everything on). All the problems will most likely be solved with the new version of Ubuntu.

To fix Skype microphone issue
Stereo microphones work with Ubuntu/LinuxMint in general, they do not work with Skype.
To fix for Skype
1: Open Alsamixer/PulseAudio volume
2: Unclick the Link button to keeps the left and right mikes linked together
3: Set either the Left or Right microphone channel to 100
4: Set the other microphone channel to 0 (you will now see it the sound level bar working)
5: Launch Skype, go into Options
6: Select Sound Devices and uncheck the box labeled "Allow Skype to automatically adjust mymixer level".
Skype should now work as advertised.
Oh, thank you Nate! I have been cursing for longer than I care to admit while trying to get my recently purchased 1005PE to boot from USB!
AND it turns out that just pinging another box every few seconds also keeps the wireless up… So the hell with my script.
Just for the record, the backports package that you are installing is for the compat-wireless package, which is the actual "fix" for the wireless problems.
Also note that the power saving features of the 1005pe, which are unfortunately not accessible in the bios, cause the internal wireless to go into low power mode three minutes after closing the lid. If you want to be able to reliably log into your 1005pe remotely, or run network services with the lid closed, you may need to run a watchdog script like this one via your crontab every minute (sorry, this script is very slackware specific - I'm sure you can figure out how to make it work for your distro):
# I call this script "wireless_up"
# Use it to keep network services running on
# an ASUS EeePC 1005PE when the lid is closed
# by running it from cron:
# * * * * * /usr/local/bin/wireless_up 1> /dev/null
# Phil Ehrens firstname.lastname@example.com
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 |grep – Not-Associated >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit
/usr/local/bin/rfkill unblock all
/usr/local/bin/rfkill unblock all
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid `grep -Po '^WLAN_ESSID\[\d\]=\"([^"]+)' /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf |sed -e 's/^.*\"'`

I installed the 9.10 netbook remix on my eee pc1005pe and everything worked great without modification.
I did install blueman to deal with iPhone tethering and my bluetooth mouse.
Your suggestion to do the following:
1."sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic
2. sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic
…stabilized my wireless connection. My signal strength went from around 50% to 100%.
i did exactly what nate did made windows 40gb but used ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 an it now will not allow me to boot into windows or use the recovery tool. trying to start all over again now
UPDATE: Webcam tested, works perfectly using "cheese" and Pidgin "Google Talk" support. Had to install some backports for Pidgin, instructions on the Pidgin site.
No luck on getting the microphone working so far, but I haven't put a lot of effort into that yet.
The screen dims and brightens at about 10-second intervals, oddly brightening at idle when I have the screen set really dim. Going into power management and turning off the "dim screen when idle" seems to have sorted that out for now.
Dratted typos. "THEN go into the list of hard drives and move your USB drive to a higher priority". Sorry about that.
USB drives show up in the list of hard drives under boot options. Don't ask me why, but if you don't set the USB drive first under both "devices" and "hard drives", you may not boot to the USB stick.
Also, as an aside, I turned off all the fast boot stuff. F2 is the key to get you into BIOS setup, and if you turn off the fast boot options it'll prompt you for that nicely (and it doesn't really slow the boot down by much).
Now that it's installed, I have all the usual Mint options in GRUB, plus Windows 7 (which starts Windows 7 Starter) and Windows Vista (which starts the recovery tool).
As of 3/5/2010, I just received an Eee PC 1005PE, and the latest BIOS seems to fix that keyboard/mouse issue. Just in the process of finishing up downloading the 215 updates from a Mint 8 fresh install, and the wireless seems solid.
I installed a multiboot with the existing Windows 7 Starter, and I had to go into Windows and delete its D: drive - Mint installer cannot create more than four primary partitions, and ASUS already had four. They are as follows:
- Primary Windows 7 Starter C:
- D: drive for extra data (so if you do a recovery, you can move your data here first)
- Reinstall/Reimage (seems to be based on Vista)
- Tiny little drive that helps startup run faster or something.
If you delete D: and resize C: to something reasonable (I did 40GB), then resize the reimage drive to something reasonable, you can have plenty of space for a 15-20GB \ partition, 5GB swap, and well over 100Gb \home.
Oddly, at bootup, you have to both specify that USB comes first, THEN go into the list of hard drives and move your hard drive to a higher boot priority. I spent an hour discovering this golden nugget, so maybe that will save you a little time. ;)

The task of turning Stephen King's The Stand into a feature-length movie has long been viewed as a difficult one at best (a near-insurmountable challenge at worst), for one simple reason: the original book - which varies from 800-1100 pages long, depending on the edition - is divided into three segments which could each suffice as an individual film on its own (amusingly, it's the opposite of the dilemma facing Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy, where one book is stretched over three films).
Ben Affleck was recruited by Warner Bros. a year ago to help screenwriter David Kajganich (Blood Creek) condense King's tome into a manageable size, with the plan for Affleck to direct. The Oscar-winner has since been linked to other projects - and with good reason, given the (lack of) progress being made on The Stand.
For the uninitiated, King's novel is composed of three sections. The first ("Captain Trips") details the collapse of our civilization as the result of a human-engineered super flu; the second ("On the Border") picks up in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where the few survivors rally around two spiritual leaders (one for good, the other evil); the third segment ("The Stand") chronicles the final confrontation between the dual human camps, in a battle that will determine the future of our world.
Here is what Affleck had to offer GQ about adapting all three portions of The Stand:
"Right now we're having a very hard time," he says. "But I like the idea—it's like The Lord of the Rings in America. And it's about how we would reinvent ourselves as a society. If we started all over again, what would we do?"
Affleck is riding high on the success of his true story-based historical drama/thriller Argo, which has improved on both the critical reception and financial returns from his previous directorial efforts (Gone Baby Gone and The Town). However, King's horror/sci-fi/apocalypse epic is another monster altogether - one that's worlds apart from Affleck's past adaptations - which makes it all the more understandable that the actor/filmmaker and Kajganich are struggling to make progress on The Stand.
Reports emerged last month that Affleck is considering an adaptation of Live By Night, which would be based on the novel by Dennis Lehane (author of Gone Baby Gone). Indeed, it might be best that Affleck divert his attention to other projects for a while, since the process of streamlining The Stand is proving so difficult. That way, he can continue sharpening and improving his skills as a filmmaker, in order to be better prepared to realize King's story on the big screen (once the script has been properly finished, that is).
Are you interested in a film version of The Stand, with Affleck behind the wheel? Or do you feel the only way to do the novel justice is to extend it out into a full-blown trilogy (one which infuses the story with a blockbuster sensibility that was lacking in the well-known 1994 TV mini-series adaptation)?

Liberty News
Construction company honors longtime partnership with Liberty
Coleman-Adams Construction Company has publicly recognized its strong partnership with Liberty University, as it celebrates its own 40-year anniversary this year.
Coleman-Adams, under its founder, A.C. "Buzzy" Coleman, built the first buildings on Liberty's campus. This ad (right) will appear in the Liberty Champion on Aug. 30, its first issue for this academic year.
Coleman was honored during Liberty's 38th Baccalaureate service on May 13, where Liberty conferred the honorary Doctor of Humanities degree on him based on his accomplishments "as an entrepreneur, a community leader, husband, father and grandfather and in appreciation for the key role he played in the history of Liberty University," said Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr.
From very humble beginnings, Coleman established his company along with his friend, Vince Adams, in 1971 and was soon hired to build Liberty's new campus. They built the first dorms and classroom buildings on the current campus in 1977 – in record time.
Falwell said Coleman built more buildings for Liberty throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, even when Liberty was struggling financially.
"There were many times when Buzzy acted as a bank for Liberty, giving Liberty the time it needed to pay for new construction even though he and his company had to suffer and sacrifice in the process," he said. "Without friends like Buzzy Coleman, this university would not be where it is today."
Coleman-Adams, now under the leadership of Buzzy's son, Clif, has continued as a contractor at Liberty and is currently completing the fourth floor of the Arthur S. DeMoss Learning Center.

Robots and Rover play almost equal roles in protecting the public from terrorist bombs in a wide swath of Ohio.
Robots and Rover play almost equal roles in protecting the public from terrorist bombs in a wide swath of Ohio.
The technicians with the Columbus Division of Fire Bomb Squad depend on devices that are as high-tech as they come and equipment as basic as the sensitive nose of a dog.
Patrick Morris, 48, has been a Columbus firefighter for 18 years, the past eight with the bomb squad. He was the guest speaker July 16 at a monthly gathering of Block Watch coordinators in the Northland area.
He touched on the history of the squad, the territory it covers, day-to-day duties, how dangerous the work can be and just why improvised explosive devices, the infamous IEDs of international reports out of Iraq, Afghanistan and other global hotspots, are so often the tool of choice for terrorists.
"Using explosives creates a lot more fear than just going into a crowd and shooting people," Morris said. "Boston is a perfect example."
The local bomb squad operates as a regional unit with the help of funding from the Department of Homeland Security, according to Morris. It covers 36 counties in an area basically east and south of Columbus to the Ohio River.
"It keeps us really busy," he said.
The Columbus Division of Fire Bomb Squad works under the Special Operations Unit, which also includes the hazardous materials and dive teams.
The squad has 16 bomb technicians; three of them, like Morris, are dedicated to that assignment full-time. The rest work the normal 24 hours on, 48 hours off schedule of regular firefighters.
At least two bomb technicians are on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, according to Morris.
The squad also has two explosion-detection dogs and one dog used to detect accelerants in arson cases. A full-time dog trainer works with the animals, Morris said.
"They work to eat," he said. "It's more like a game of hide-and-seek for them, too."
While an amazing array of chemicals, compounds and substances can be combined to make explosives, Morris said, they only give off six distinctive scents as far as the dogs are concerned.
The dogs are used to sweep areas where crowds are expected, such as summer festivals, visits by presidential candidates and, of course, Ohio State football games, he said.
When it comes to dealing with a potential terrorist bomb, unexploded World War II ordnance found in someone's sock drawer or an IED some teens concocted based on YouTube videos, Franklin County residents are in good hands, Morris said.
In addition to three units the fire division's bomb squad can put into service, the Franklin County Sheriff's Office has its own bomb unit.
"We're pretty fortunate here," Morris said. "We essentially could handle four different incidents."
The squad also has three robots, including a $300,000 one that was built in Spain, Morris said. Only three of these "very expensive" units are in the United States, he said.
The robots, not the dogs, are used to work with suspicious packages.
Bomb suits, such as the ones made famous in a 2008 film, The Hurt Locker, provide technicians with some protection, but not much if it's a powerful device, he said.
"The thing that kills bomb techs, especially when they're in the suits, is the blast pressure," Morris said. "The blast pressure is what messes up your body."
One important lesson bomb technicians know and try to impart to their colleagues and the general public is a key way to stay safe if there is an explosion, Morris said: "If you can see the device, it can see you."
The best bet is to get as far away as possible and behind a building or some other protection, he said.
And yet, Morris acknowledged, even colleagues in the fire service will "rubberneck" when there's a bomb potentially about to go off.
"It happens so fast, you really don't see anything anyway," he said.
About 90 percent of the bomb squads in the United States are part of law-enforcement agencies, according to Morris.
Only 10 percent are with a fire department, as is the case in Columbus. In 1961 or 1962, when the mayor wanted to establish a bomb squad, the police chief wasn't interested but the fire chief was, Morris said.

Aniston: 'Rachel hair was styled to cover up my curls'
JENNIFER ANISTON has revealed her famous FRIENDS hairdo was more a correction than a style.
The actress' 'Rachel' shag bob became a must-have for trendy women in the early 1990s and is still considered one of the most famous styles ever - but she insists it was a do created to cover up her curls.
Aniston tells The Hollywood Reporter, "My hair has never been my greatest feature, so that was funny enough unto
itself that my hair became so focused on.
"I have curly, uncontrollable hair... It was a haircut to clean up damaged hair.
"I didn't love that cut... I'm really a long hair kind of girl."

70 HASKINS & SELLS September Why the Increasing Loss? MODERN accounting literature has much to say in advocation of more lucid audit reports, and in disparagement of auditors whose comments are little more than a statement that, "we have counted and verified." The value of such writings may be appraised in the light of findings in a recent engagement. The engagement was the regular annual audit for the year ended December 31, 1923, of a large wholesale dealer in woolens and allied products. The comparative statements prepared disclosed continually increasing net losses year after year. For the period under consideration the loss was a formidable amount, and was more than double the loss for the preceding period. Reasons for such a condition would be of utmost value to the client and should therefore be sought out. In the first place, unfortunate non-operating transactions might have caused the trouble. Both income credits and charges, however, were normal in amount, with non-operating income on the increase and charges on the decline. The number of unprofitable foreign exchange operations had diminished. A reduction in reserves for inventory fluctuations had resulted in a credit to other income. The source of the client's difficulties lay therefore in his regular business operations. The 1923 operating loss was $48,000, or 1 3½ per cent. of the year's net sales. The 1922 figure had been only $1,400, or 3/10 of 1 per cent. of net sales for that year. Operating expenses were then scrutinized. They were found to contain a large number of relatively fixed items, such as rent and salaries, which were too heavy for the volume of business to bear. These items had remained practically stationery during 1923, in the face of a large decline in volume of business. They served, therefore, to augment considerably the operating deficit for the year. Only a part of the increased loss, however, could be accounted for in this way. The cost of sales, although having decreased in 1923, had not fallen off as rapidly as the sales, and therefore represented a greater percentage of sales than was the case in the preceding year. This fact received rather careful attention. The woolen department was chosen for study, as being the most important as well as the most representative of the business as a whole. This department had started out at January 1, with inventories of $138,000; had made purchases during the year of $98,000; and had wound up at December 31 with inventories of $107,000. The cost of sales was therefore $129,000. On the basis of the 1922 ratio of cost of sales to sales, this figure would have been only $117,000, freight, drayage, and other miscellaneous components of cost of sales having been left out of consideration. Considering the size of the inventories involved, and the large difference between the opening and closing inventories, investigation began there. Any one of several irregularities might have caused adverse results. A mechanical mistake might have been made in the computation of the inventory figures, such as in extensions, footings, etc. However, the calculations, which were made by an inventory computing company, were tested and found correct. The use of erroneous prices in taking the inventory, either at the beginning or at the end of the year, or both, or a change in the basis used, from a higher to a lower, might cause cost of sales for 1923 to show a relative increase over 1922. However, the accountants tested the prices and found no mistakes. And the inventories at both dates were taken on the same basis—cost or current market price, whichever was lower. The January 1 inventory figures might have been padded, through the inclusion of worthless goods at inflated prices or otherwise. In view of the size of the inventories this point received particular attention, but nothing came of it.

There are dozens and dozens of them out there. Which one do you guys use for EDC?
There are dozens and dozens of them out there. Which one do you guys use for EDC?
The Leatherman Wave
The Swiss Army lineup is fine for everyday about-the-house duty, but the multitools are really on another level. Note how Les Stroud originally used a Swiss Army knife for the first few episodes of Survivorman, but then switched to a Leatherman..
my SAK has been in my desk for over 15 years (gift from an uncle) ive never edc it, but ive used it countless times over the years. i just used it to uncork my wine 5 minutes ago. i dont know which version it is but it also has a magnifying glass on it also.
ive seen many with a basic SAK on their keys, which has a knife, nail file, and maybe scissors. also only heard good things about the SAK spirit, which has pliers.
i edc my leatherman wave in my bag. and carry a leatherman juice s4 at work for its lightweight. and have a leatherman squirt s2 on my keys
Well, all the SAK hate is really depressing.
I EDC a Spartan or a Farmer. And a Classic.
I have not much need for a plier tool but I own a couple Leathermans and the wonderful Victorinox Spirit. Don't ever carry them.

I EDC a Vic,mini-champ great little knife.I have lots of SAK and multi-tools,all have there uses.
I like taking my 07 Soldier with me. If it had a belt clip it would be perfect.
I bought the 09 Soldier as a camping knife. I've yet to take it in the bush.
My Sportsman is kept in my car.
I have a mini on my spare set of keys.
My lightsWTB: Surefire: New/Used/Rare. Currently looking for everything Crosshairs + D2. Interesting trades available.Everybody, just send your lights directly to James - he'll end up with them anyhow, lol. -Kestrel
Currently EDCing a locksmith along with a lightweight pliers-based multitool.
Also EDCed a one handed NS sentinel in the past and a one handed NS trekker, which is on me in the woods. Farmer is also coming sometimes, in different setups. Owning many knives (and expensive ones), I still love SAKs more and more because they are awesome.
I've been carrying a Classic for about 16 years. Not the same one mind you. My wife also carry a backup classic in case I lose or forget mine. Apparently, I'm "difficult" to get along with if it's not on me!
If I must have a plier based tool on me, I carry a Leatherman Mini Tool. If it's any bigger than that, I'll take more dedicated tools. My favorite is small Vise Grips and a small prybar held together with an elastic.
I EDC a Swiss Champ, got three of them: car, backpack and shooting gear.
The darkness is afraid of us.
Nitecore D10 Nitecore EX10 Nitecore EZ123 Olight M20 Thrunite Catapult
Always carry a vic mini champ[modified] and other tools like leatherman p4-e4-s4. feel quite naked without them.Oh and a few lights.
I used to carry a sixties basic Wenger but swapped back over to my later model Victorinox, model "camper" because it has a saw blade which I manage to find a use for quite often. I keep the larger of the two knife blades sharp enough to shave with, the smaller of the two blades is more used for little utility work like opening parcels that arrive from international airmail.........
If I am hiking or in the outdoors, I have a red alox Farmer in my pocket. All the rest of the time it's a Vic Cadet. It is really slim, has all the feature I need (I use the nail file quite often) and like all Victorinox knives, I can get it RAZOR sharp!
If I lived in a rural community, I'd EDC a model with a sawblade attachment. Either my Victorinox Huntsman, or I'd go out and buy a Victorinox Farmer.
For those really hot Summer days, it's going to be a black-handled Victorinox Executive.
But for now, it's this one . . .
"The World is insane. With tiny spots of sanity, here and there... Not the other way around!" - John Cleese.
Vic "Classic" on my keyring; On the job I carry a Leatherman "Core," with (occassionally) either a Vic "Climber" or a Vic "Explorer Plus."
A Classic is always on my keyring. Around town I have an alox Soldier in my pocket. Out in the backyard doing chores I have an OHT.
When I go to Nicaragua 1-2 times a year, I pack a Huntsman or Camper.
I have other knives but the SAKs seem to get the most EDC use.
Oh, yeah-if it looks like I need something heavier and/or a pair of pliers, I tote a Swisstool X.
I like Victorinox!
Alox Farmer for me.
...as for me, when you want a good laugh, you will find me, in a fine state, fat and flourishing, a true hog of Epicurus' herd...
Running Collection List HERE
Only ever had the one SAK - a gift for my twelfth birthday. You can't get it any more but it's closest to a fisherman.
It has big and small blades, corkscrew, toothpick, tweezers, scissors, fish tool, wood saw, file, reamer, flat screwdriver, can opener tool, bottle opener tool. I think I've found uses for all the tools over the last thirty six years! But I guess the most used has to be the scissors.
Fantastic knife.
Oddly, I like the Buck/Wenger SAK the best, but also have a vintage Huntsman, Alox Farmers and Alox Cadet.

This thread needs photos
Red Alox Farmer, now my EDC
Essexman,looks good with that fob,on the farmer.
I own a few SAK's , just a run down on ones I use lots .
I keep a Rambler in the coin pocket of my wallet , I usually pack an Alox ( Soldier , Pioneer , Electrician Plus or Farmer - depends on my whim )
For work or outdoors I pack an 09 OH Soldier or OH GAK , these two have displaced my Tacticals , as far as everyday use is concerned .
I also keep a Ranger or Swisschamp in my briefcase or manbag , just plain handy to have .
In addition to the above , I often tho not always pack a Victorinox Spirit Multitool .
SAK's are great value , and very versatile .
I don't edc one these days, but Explorer is my perennial favorite model and there is one in my lumbar pack. I also have a Cybertool that I use at home sometimes (lost one of the removable bits) and a Swisschamp (not sure where it is). I've had a few Leatherman multi-tools that I was never that crazy about. Not crazy about the Vic Classic either. I have a Spyderco Jester on my keys instead and it's much sturdier while not being much bigger.
I have a Vic classic on my desk at home, and one at work, but I edc a Leatherman Charge Tti.
I don't EDC a multitool but i have SAK Atlas. First i wanted a Forester, but Atlas has almost the same features(very nice saw!) so i bought it instead.
Black Wenger Classic on my keychain. I carry an older fisher style model like Nycto carries when I go fishing. Otherwise I carry a Wenger Standard Issue Alox or a Wenger Tinker.
I bought a Trekker a couple months ago and that one has really grown on me. Good for doing yard work.
"None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me."
EDCing a locksmith (large locking blade) in the every day bag, a One Hand Trekker (NS) in a survival kit a and a Farmer in another one. They are great!
EDIT: D'oh! I already posted in this thread! Shame on me :P

I EDC a Spartan Lite in my pocket, and a Gerber Suspension on my belt. I'm never caught without a blade and a screwdriver
I owned and carried a alox Farmer for a couple of years and ended up giving it to my son. Went to a Spirit and think it's the cats meow. Great tool and great utility, not unobtrousivly heavy or bulky, love the grip shape.
Can't find ANY of my SAK's right now, and I just looked all over my room. I'm sure the Cybertool and Explorer are around here somewhere buried in the junk. Still don't know where my Swisschamp is. Edit: Explorer was in my backpack. Would still like to find the other two. Cybertool should turn up. Less hopeful about Swisschamp. Cybertool is missing one of the driver bits. I almost bought the Sog S60 multitool on woot a couple nights ago but managed to resist. Now I sort of regret not buying it.

Alox Farmer is second only to the above, because the above adds a Phillips driver and has a serrated blade.

Seeking a shale tax in Pennsylvania
STATE COLLEGE — As a statewide citizens' group called for tighter environmental regulations to be imposed on drilling in the Marcellus Shale, a local protest demanded a gas severance tax to mitigate the imposition of higher income and real estate taxes.
Formed in response to the report generated by Gov. Tom Corbett's Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission, the Citizens Marcellus Shale Commission, led by former state Reps. Carole Rubley, a Republican, and Dan Surra, a Democrat, released its own 87-page document Monday. The report calls for a slowdown on drilling until an analysis is completed on its impacts on water and air quality, land use, habitat and human health.
"The governor's commission was very heavy with industry appointees," Surra said. "Although they did some good work, this group of nonprofits got together and said, hey, there's a couple of chapters that still need to be written."
In compiling its report, the commission held five hearings across the state and heard testimony from experts and residents in the Marcellus Shale fairway. Its 18 members represented groups including the Sierra Club, the League of Women Voters, the Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania and Western Clinton County Sportsmen's Association. Two university professors and three private business owners also served on the panel.

Sentiment is very bearish and there has been enormous arbitrage at the 1400 level.
Your mistakes are usually great learning examples.
Please tell me something I don't know and hasn't been talked about for months.
On the 7th day from the signal reversal bar on August 21, the S&P 500 (^GSPC)/SPDR Trust (SPY) gapped down and continued down.
A few parts of the decision the media isn't focusing on.
As you know, I have been looking for 1430 on the S&P 500 (^GSPC) as a potential major top occurring before the end of August.
Time and time again I hear pundits talk about how the rally isn't "real" because it is happening on low volume.

Greg Curry
|Seventh Season
|Assistant Coach
Former UC Santa Barbara soccer standout Greg Curry rejoined the Gauchos for the 2011 season as an assistant coach. Curry returned to the UCSB campus after spending three seasons as an assistant coach at Sacramento State.
Curry was a four-year letterwinner at UCSB, competing for the Gauchos from 2003-07 (he redshirted the 2005 campaign). During his four years on the active roster, UCSB advanced to two College Cup finals and he started five games in the 2006 NCAA Tournament, including the semifinal and championship games. The one-time team captain helped UCSB post 41 shutouts and a combined 0.88 goals against average during his career. The defender was named to the UCSB All-Decade Team in December of 2009.
Following his collegiate career, Curry played with the San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer, where he was a member of their reserve squad after being selected in the third round of the 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft. Injuries forced Curry to retire from playing in 2008.
While he was at Sacramento State, Curry helped guide the Hornets to a 31-20-12 three-year record and to two consecutive Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament titles. Sac State also advanced to the NCAA Tournament Second Round the past two years.
