Q: I saved my Christmas tree. Can I use it for a fish habitat in my pond?
Peter – Cedar Rapids, IA
A: Great question! Sure, after the holidays have come and gone, it makes complete sense to use your dried-up Christmas tree as a fish habitat. You're benefitting the environment by repurposing the tree rather than sending it to the dump, and you're saving money by providing your fish a free all-natural habitat.
Plus, your finned friends will love it. Though they probably won't pile presents under a submerged Christmas tree, your fish can use it as a cozy place to hide from predators and a safe and effective spawning zone.
There are some drawbacks, however, to tossing a spent holiday tree in your lake or pond.
Because it is an organic object, a tree's trunk, limbs and needles will break down and decompose over a long period of time. This all-natural process will contribute to the nutrient load in your lake's water—and that means an increase in algae and weed growth.
Not only that, but the tree's tight interwoven branches make a great hiding place from your fish hook, which means you'll have a harder time catching them for dinner!
So rather than throw your Christmas tree into your lake or pond, you should use it as firewood to fuel a lakeside bonfire instead. And if you really want to give your fish a new habitat for Christmas, invest in one that befits the fish while keeping the pond clean, such as the Porcupine® Fish Attractor Spheres. When you outfit these 6-inch-diameter units with 26 lengths of ½-inch PVC pipe, they become ideal habitats that are effective without impeding fish catches or adding algae-loving nutrients to your water.

Was watching History of God by Amstrong (she had written a book abt this too)
Me wanted to learn more about this
Thought we can share our views, beliefs about our God
My questions
(1) Monotheism: Christianity is one If so, why do they have God in 3 forms, father, son and holy spirit
St. Agustus, eaastern christianity prophet explained it as like human performing with 3 things: memory, understand, act - ... God is of 3 forms ? father, son and holyspirit..
Documentatory says that Greek didnt follow it? so what do they think of these forms?
(2) Trinity in hinsuism - shiva, vishnu, brahma? How it all started? I read that even in hindusim it started of mono as a supreme God, parameshwara? how it this religion evolve with so many forms of God
(3) IS this trinity related to trinity of christians?
(4) Islam - No idol? - kuran is a recitation by prophet? and belived that God recited that to Prophet?
(5) Followers walk around kabah? in mecca? what does this mean? why do they do it? how long they go around, what do you pray during that time?
(6) Is this really true? non-Muslims not allowed inside Mecca?
(7)What is this stone? what does it mean?
Too many questions rightly said by the author.. its a 4000 year quest by humans

In the course of his preaching he said, 'Someone is following me, someone who is more powerful than I am, and I am not fit to kneel down and undo the strap of his sandals. I have baptised you with water, but he will baptise you with the Holy Spirit.' (Mk 1:8)
To live in hope. This sounds rather deflating to us today who are used to instant gratification. It seems to mean either being reconciled to a continuous lack of fulfillment or to live in a kind of quiet desperation – just getting through to the end. This isn't what the 'virtue' – the strength – of hope that meditation nurtures is about at all.
Hope blooms as hopes die. Hopes are veiled desires or fantasies which we use as substitutes for reality or as defenses against disappointments and sufferings. Often we have to tremble on the brink of despair and the evacuation of desire before discovering the meaning of hope. Before we get to that brink we start clutching at false hopes. The John the Baptists of our lives – those who alone give authentic consolation – are not harbingers of doom but preachers of reality.
But at the graced moment of emptiness we are visited by hope that enlightens us about the meaning of the process we are passing through. Even if we cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel yet we know – with a kind of night-vision – that we are on the way and even the feeling of failure or of being forgotten are part of the process that will flower in the light of love.
For those who live in hope (this is what Advent is about learning) there is no final closure or shutdown. As the old rabbi said God does not expect us to succeed but we are not allowed to give up. This is not only human wisdom about the need to endure. It is a disclosure about the infinite simplicity of God.

About Adam
To be fair, it is actually dangerous, especially with heavier doors. If one is simply competent and mechanically inclined, you figure out that you need to put the door up and tie it in place to take tension off the springs.
But oh my god, there are stupid people out there. And no one wants to be liable because some idiot couldn't be safe while working with large, powerful springs and a metal garage door/gate that wants to fall back down.

Hotels in British Columbia
A top tourist destination in Canada, hotels in British Columbia cater to both the modest traveller and the extravagant one. Discount hotels in Vancouver include the modest but comfortable Empire Landmark Hotel or you can opt for Hotel Zed in Victoria. The Fairmount Chateau Whistler in Whistler boasts an outdoor pool, valet parking, and a free ski shuttle. It is the perfect chalet for cozy nights and fast days on the slopes. British Columbia hotel deals are offered frequently for advance bookings and Vancouver always has a myriad of choices to suit your taste and budget.
Things to see in British Columbia
The slopes of Whistler are simply legendary. Whistler Blackcomb is North America's premiere resort; it provides endless skiing and snowboarding terrain, while hiking, mountain biking, and golfing are the top summer activities. You might even catch a movie star or two as Vancouver, "Hollywood North," is bursting at the seams with the film and television productions. For a remote wilderness experience, visit Great Bear Rainforest, the world's largest coastal temperate rainforest. Lush forests, intricate inland fjords, and high granite cliffs compete for your attention as bears and eagles feast on salmon while whale watching is always on the itinerary. If taking a road trip is more your style, drive the Alaska Highway, soak in the hot springs at Liard River, and gaze at herds of majestic bison.
Where to stay in British Columbia
The largest city in B.C., Vancouver is a great place for families to explore the outdoor pleasures of Stanley Park, the Vancouver Aquarium, and the Museum of Anthropology or, for the adults, enjoy a Vegas Strip styled night on Granville Street, in Yaletown, or Gastown. Next, head to Vancouver Island, where the capital of British Columbia, Victoria, awaits you with a historic visit to Craigdarroch Castle or Government House and plenty of shopping and strolling at the Inner Harbour. In Nanaimo, you can dive sunken wrecks, hit Canada's only floating pub, "The Dinghy Dock Pub", or snorkel with harbor seals. If you are interested in wine tours, the city of Kelowna is a must-see, located in the fertile valley of the Okanagan, this region is considered "Canada's Napa Valley".
How to get to British Columbia
If you're planning to fly to British Columbia, Vancouver Airport and Victoria Airport service international and domestic flights, but be prepared for hefty ticket prices. Driving to the province is the most cost-effective option and a better one if you're planning to tour the province extensively: you'll be covering vast rugged terrain. If you're driving from within Canada, the Trans-Canada Highway will take you directly to Vancouver or you can catch a Greyhound bus. Driving from the United States provides you with multiple entry points into B.C., but the I-5 is the most direct.

Greater St. Louis Iris Society!
(Organized circa 1950)
Welcome to the Greater St. Louis Iris Society website!
The Greater St. Louis Iris Society (GSLIS) is located in the American Iris Society's Region 18, the states of Kansas and Missouri.
Iris. What a simple word. A simple, two syllable word that projects many things to many people. To some, Iris is the round color pigmented membrane surrounding the pupil of the eye. To others, especially gardeners, botanists and horticulturists, it is the large genus (Iris) of perennial plants of the iris family, with sword-shaped leaves and flamboyant flowers composed in threes, three upright petals called standards and three downward-extending sepals called falls, of widely varying color. The iris is the flower of the fleur de Lis, fleur de Louis, fluer-de-Lys or fleur de luce. Botanists confirm that irises grew everywhere that these terms originated and lilies largely did not - especially in the Holy Land of King Solomon and biblical times. And we know that the earliest cultivated irises were grown about 7000 BC by the Egyptians.
Iris was also a Greek Goddess, a messenger of the gods and associated with the Rainbow. All the colors of the rainbow are represented in irises today except for true red. That is surely coming just as the iris has improved exponentially since the formation of the American Iris Society in 1920 (when some "old country" growers had said that irises [they used the colloquial "flags"] just couldn't be improved any more). Well, boy, have our imaginative hybridizers ever proved them wrong!
We developed this web site to educate folks on the tremendous variety and color combinations of today's irises. We want you to have fun looking at the pretty pictures and if you learn something along the way - great. Many of the pictures can be identified by placing your cursor on the image. You might want to visit some of the local gardens such as the Missouri Botanical Garden's fabulous iris garden. Or maybe one or more of the private and public iris gardens listed in the links. You might want to see one of our annual Iris Shows. If you want to join us as a member that information is here too. And if you can't find the answer to that one question about irises that has been nagging you, visit our Ask The Expert link. They might be able to point you in the right direction to identify Grandmother's old flags. Detailed information about iris types and iris culture are available for those who want to explore. Likewise iris history going back to the 1920s in the St. Louis area is here too. Iris awards? We have it covered. There is much more. So sit back and enjoy the ride in our wonderful Iris World.

Shoei GT-Air Introduction
When the open road calls you and your bike out for an adventure, be sure that you are protected by one of the most innovative helmets on the market today, the Shoei GT-Air. Featuring an internal sun shield, amazing aerodynamics, boosting a great ventilation system, and the Pinlock Anti-Fog System, the Shoei GT-Air will make your open road adventures safer and more comfortable than ever.
Shoei GT-Air
What makes Shoei's GT- Air helmets so special? First of all, this GT-Air helmet is the first in Shoei's line-up to be equipped with a full faced internal sun shield. This shield is injection molded, anti-fog and therefore 100% distortion free. It blocks out 99% of the sun's UV rays and can be flipped down by an easy to reach switch. The shell of Shoei's GT-Air helmet is made out AIM material. This AIM shell construction is made out of organic fiber and multi-composite fiber which makes it extremely strong and lightweight. The built-in spoiler is there to provide a more stable ride, by reducing drag and lift at the higher speeds. The inner liner of this helmet features Shoei's own 3D Max Dry system. This 3D max liner is completely removable, replaceable and even washable. In order to even further enhance the wearing comfort, Shoei added 3D cheek pads in different sizes to fully customize the GT-Air's fit. It is good to know that the Max Dry liner dries twice as fast as the regular nylon based inner liners.

Golf carts aren't just for golfing these days. They're also a convenient way to get around retirement communities (where allowed), they're big at campgrounds, festivals, and events, and some areas are even allowing them on trails normally reserved for hiking and biking. And while it can be a lot of fun to drive, it's important to remember that a golf cart is not a toy, and golf cart safety should be taken seriously. Read on for some important golf cart safety tips to help keep you, and everyone around you, safe.
Golf Cart Safety Basics
- Read the owner's manual for important safety information and to get to know your vehicle.
- Check your state's laws for driver's license requirements.
- Know your cart's vehicle load and seating capacity, and don't exceed it.
- Operate a cart from the driver's seat ONLY.
- Always fully engage the parking brake and remove the key before leaving the vehicle.
While You're Driving
- Keep feet, legs, hands, and arms inside vehicle at all times.
- Make sure the direction selector is in the correct position before accelerating.
- Always bring the vehicle to a full stop before shifting direction.
- Slow down before and during turns.
- Check behind you before operating in reverse.
Adapting to Your Terrain
- Use extra care and reduced speed when driving in poor conditions or on poor surfaces.
- Avoid extremely rough terrain.
- Don't drive fast downhill, and avoid steep slopes.
- Be aware that sudden stops or change of direction could make you lose control of the vehicle.
Whether you're driving a golf cart on the course or off, staying safe should always be a priority. And if you have questions about insurance coverage for your golf cart or any other recreational vehicle, your State Farm® agent is here to help.

Parsley hawthorns are handsome, hardy large shrubs or small trees with attractive bark and lacy parsley-like foliage that turns orange and gold in autumn. The thorn-tipped branches are covered with white flowers (sporting red anthers) that attract pollinators in spring. The red fall fruits are eaten by mammals and birds. Parsley hawthorn is also the larval plant of the gray hairstreak butterfly.
In the wild it is found along rivers, in floodplains, and in wet woodlands. Companion plants include flowering dogwood (Cornus florida), Sassafras albidum, wild blueberry (Vaccinium), American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana), and strawberry bush (Euonymus americanus).
Common Names: Parsley haw or parsley hawthorn
Botanical Name: Crataegus marshallii
Zone(s): 4-9
Color: White flowers and red oblong fruit
Blooming Period: Blooms March to May, fruits in early fall
Type: Native deciduous large shrub or small tree
Mature Size: 15-20 feet
Exposure: Sun to part-shade
When to Plant: Best in fall
How to Plant: Space trees about 20 feet apart in part shade. Prefers rich, moist well-drained, acid soil, but will tolerate poor soil and seasonal flooding. Propagate by stratified seed.
In Your Landscape: A relative of the mayhaw, this small tree can be used in group plantings making it an excellent addition to the sustainable landscape.
Parsley hawthorn flowers have a musky sweet fragrance and are important to native pollinators. The oblong red fruit provides winter color and food for wildlife.

Daniel Radcliffe wants to be the next Dustin Hoffman.
The former 'Harry Potter' star models himself on iconic US actor Dustin, because he is renowned for his method acting and the variety of roles he's played in his 50 year acting career, but also because they're both relatively short
He said: "The person I've been looking at is Dustin Hoffman. In fact, I passed him the other day and he is absolutely on the shorter side, as am I. But he was in all those great roles, from action thrillers to romantic stuff.
"So there is a way of doing it unconventionally if you don't necessarily look like the 6ft romantic lead."
Daniel, 23, says one of best moves toward proving he is a serious actor has been starring in racy stage play 'Equus' in 2007, which helped show off his acting prowess.
He said: "Doing Equus was important. It showed people that I wasn't just here to capitalise on the 'Potter' fame for as long as I could.
"I think ultimately, I'm ambitious because I want to prove everyone wrong who thinks that it's impossible to emerge from 'Harry Potter' and do well."

Welcome to the art world of Arina Isaacson
"As a child, I would sit beside my father and watch him sculpt shadow boxes out of balsa wood. He would create street scenes of the old west complete with cafe, post office, feed store, and hitches for the horses.

I would sculpt next to him but I wasn't able to make the shapes look anything like his." …more

Tyson strike floors Ipswich
Nathan Tyson came off the Derby bench to net a last-gasp winner and deliver a fresh blow to under-fire home manager Paul Jewell as Ipswich slumped to the foot of the npower Championship after a 2-1 defeat.
Jewell had revealed he would remain in charge of the Suffolk club having considered his future after Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Hull.
The Liverpudlian received the complete backing of owner Marcus Evans and his players, among many others, when weighing up his decision and opted to stay, although he acknowledged results must improve and quickly.
However, this result means Ipswich are winless in 11 league and cup games, still without a home victory and bottom of the table following Peterborough's fine home win over high-flying Huddersfield.
Ipswich took a deserved lead after 24 minutes through DJ Campbell's close-range effort but Theo Robinson capitalised on an error from goalkeeper Stephen Henderson to pull Derby level five minutes before the break.
Both sides had chances to win it but the visitors stole the points at the death when Tyson, who only climbed off the bench nine minutes earlier, pounced from close range from Conor Sammon's cross.
Ipswich came flying out of the blocks and Rams goalkeeper Adam Legzdins was forced into three saves inside the opening 10 minutes.
Legzdins denied Lee Martin inside a minute - with Andy Drury clearing the bar on the rebound - then tipped Aaron Cresswell's long-range effort around a post before thwarting Jay Emmanuel-Thomas from 12 yards.
Derby, who had drawn their last three games and were unbeaten in four, finally threatened in the 20th minute.
Michael Jacobs, making his first league start, unleashed a shot from 30 yards which was comfortable for Henderson.
It came as no surprise when Ipswich finally took the lead in the 24th minute.
Martin's ball into the box was bundled in by Campbell, scoring for the second time in three appearances.
Emmanuel-Thomas almost made it 2-0 on the half-hour but Legzdins produced a stunning save to tip his six-yard strike around a post.
Jake Buxton headed over a Paul Coutts corner in a rare attack for Derby before Ipswich were punished for another mistake five minutes before the break.
Henderson spilled a shot from Sammon and Robinson was on hand to tuck home the rebound, his third goal in four games.
Craig Bryson then fired wide from 12 yards as Derby finished the half on a high.
Legzdins continued his impressive night's work when he pulled off another fine stop to turn Cresswell's long-range effort away for a corner seven minutes into the second period.
The Rams went up the other end and twice threatened themselves.
First Sammon shot wide from 25 yards after Ipswich failed to clear Brayford's effort, before Jacobs cracked a shot from 25 yards which Henderson parried away.
Having been on the end of some sustained Derby pressure, Ipswich finally managed to break out and a shot from Martin, following a fine run, flashed just wide in the 62nd minute.
Legzdins frustrated Ipswich again with 17 minutes remaining as he kept out Emmanuel-Thomas' 30-yard strike before Coutts drilled a shot just over the bar.
Tyson then delivered a sucker punch to Ipswich and Jewell with the late winner.

Battered, bloodied and muddied, Manitou Springs on Saturday began to dig out of its worst disaster in decades.
Wielding shovels, water pumps, skid loaders and backhoes, Manitou Springs home and business owners took to recovering from a massive and deadly flash flood that hit Friday evening, leaving one man dead and two people reported missing.
The force of the four-foot wall of water, mud and debris that roared off the Waldo Canyon burn scar could be measured in the mess revealed at dawn Saturday: Six houses destroyed; 11 houses seriously damaged; 23 buildings with cosmetic damage; 40 cars towed off Manitou Springs streets and more off U.S. 24; broken gas, sewer and water lines, and at least 20 businesses that had to shut down at least temporarily.
Three people were reported injured Friday night, and a couple of volunteers were injured Saturday; none of the injuries were serious, officials said.
Initially, three people were reported missing, but one of those, a man who recently moved to Narrows Road, was located Saturday. Two others remained unaccounted for, including Juston Travis, a 24-year-old homeless man reported missing by his mother, and an unidentified woman who witnesses saw clinging to a tree Friday night. They did not know what happened to her.
Manitou Springs Police Chief Joe Ribeiro said all damaged buildings have been searched, but creek beds filled with debris are still being searched.
Meanwhile, a Divide man known for his work pouring cement as well as a fondness for gardening was identified as the person whose body was found Friday night in flood debris on U.S. 24.
John Collins was returning home from work when his car was caught in the raging flood, said Lacey Linder, who remembered her uncle, as a "big teddy bear."
"He was an awesome, awesome man," Linder said.
Collins' body was found late Friday beneath a "significant" debris pile, and his vehicle was found in the same general area but further west, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office said. It was unknown if Collins got out of his vehicle on his own or was pushed out by rapidly rushing water and debris, officials said.
Collins' cause of death is believed to be drowning, according to the El Paso County Coroner's office.
Collins made a living doing cement work, but spent much of his time at home in greenhouses he built, growing flowers and vegetables. During the holiday, he often would don a white beard and playing the part of Santa Claus for the Kiwanis Club of Ute Pass - Woodland Park.
"It was always the highlight of my children's Christmas to be able to sit on his lap.," said Jessica Russ-Medovich, a family friend. "It was something that they will never forget."
The loss cut particularly deep for Linder, who spent last June anxious over her parents' safety. Both of them volunteered with the Green Mountain Falls Chipita Park Fire Department.
"It just seems like things keep happening," she said, before adding, "Coloradans, we're tough."
Indeed, that toughness was obvious Saturday at Manitou Springs residents took to the massive cleanup work, even as another flash flood advisory was issued. Only light rain fell on the town Saturday.
Still, officials know the destructive flood could well become a regular event.
"This is the first year of the burn scar," said Colorado Springs fire Lt. Steve Schopper. "We've got nine more years of this."
And damages can accumulate - among the homes destroyed Friday were two that had been damaged in the July 1 flood, Ribeiro said.
Officials on Saturday focused on re-establishing emergency services, working on utilities and cleanup.
Canon and Park avenues remain closed; but U.S. 24 fully reopened Saturday evening.
Though the city was getting a lot of "spontaneous volunteers," Ribeiro said officials weren't able to handle the help Saturday. People, he added, should not handle debris from the storm until areas are deemed safe.
Nonetheless, volunteers were everywhere, mud on their shoes, legs and clothing, carrying shovels, brooms and buckets.
One woman lugged a sledgehammer and pick down Manitou Avenue, while a backhoe worked in the same creek that flooded the Blue Skies Inn, dredging timber and debris from the clogged waterway.
Three feet of mud filled a parking garage at the intersection of Park and Canon avenues, and a man working a skid loader worked until dusk to remove it one bucket at a time.
Crews piled mud and debris five feet high along the street leading to Soda Springs Park, covering parking spaces usually filled by tourists.
A walk down the city's main drag revealed an eerie dichotomy.
Many stores and homes along Canon Avenue were being emptied of damp and dirty damaged goods, even as tourists wandered by.
Manitou Avenue, the main road into the town, was jammed with incoming traffic most of the day - bringing a mix of tourists and gawkers.
On the north side of the street, people mopped floors of mud and pumped water from their basements.
To the south, outdoor patios at restaurants were stuffed with people enjoying a partly sunny summer day.
"The areas that were affected were storage areas and garages, but there were some residences on Lovers Lane and behind the American Legion, where there are a bunch of little apartments and bungalows, that got hit pretty hard. They are trying to dig out," said Tony Del Lago, disaster assessment supervisor for the American Red Cross. Narrows Road, he said, "is not passable and won't be for a while because a lot of water and debris came down there."
All that was left of one cottage on Narrows Road was its foundation.
Multiple organizations and agencies have jumped in to help.
The U.S. Forest Service signed a memorandum of understanding Saturday and in the afternoon began to bring in extra crews with power saws and other cleanup equipment, said El Paso County Commissioner Sallie Clark.
At the Red Cross shelter at the Historic Community Congregational Church, 103 Pawnee Ave., residents could pick up kits including mop heads and buckets. The shelter, which housed seven people Friday night, will remain open at least through Sunday afternoon.
Clark said AspenPointe would be available to help with the emotional scarring for residents hard hit. Other mental health help will be available through Manitou Springs, said David Hunting, the city's spokesman.
"We're going to have people available that the Red Cross has provided to help folks get through these tough times," at the church, he said.
The storm, which hit at about 6 p.m. Friday night, was two to three times worse than two previous floods this year, said Manitou Mayor Marc Snyder.
Muddy water hit the upper end of Canon Avenue on July 1, destroying three houses and damaging others. On July 10, about 24 vehicles were swept off westbound Highway 24 or stuck in a mud flow.
Snyder said Friday's flooding was like combining those two events - and worse.
And the forecast for next week calls for a similar weather pattern filled with the potential for more severe thunderstorms.
"This is the new normal," said Clark, surveying damage at the mouth of Williams Canyon.
Still, Snyder said Manitou is resilient and more than 90 percent of businesses were unaffected.
"We do have a real can-do spirit here in Manitou Springs, he said.
To Help
Volunteers wishing to help with the Manitou Springs cleanup should go to a check-in center at Tajine Alami, the Moroccan restaurant at 10 Old Mans Trail 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
"All volunteers can come in, get work assigned, and help out," said Manitou Springs Police Chief Joe Ribeiro. "We want to make sure everyone that checks in also checks out by the afternoon, as the threat of thunderstorms continues."
Volunteers should wear long pants, sturdy shoes and work gloves.

I am so excited to be submitting this next tutorial for you all. I was drawing a chibi character yesterday from a very popular video game, and when I was doing this everyone loved it. Today, I will be showing you "how to draw chibi Altair", step by step. As you know Altair is from the hit video game series Assassins Creed, and I know exactly why he is so popular. I played the game, but unfortunately I didn't own it long enough to beat the game. The reason why Assassins Creed left my possession, is because it was left in the sun last summer, and the PS3 game was destroyed. I was so mad when this happened because I loved the game so. After that, I just got rid of the PS3 and bought a Nintendo Wii instead. The games for the Wii are cool, but I don't think it beats the PS3. Anyway, chibi Altair came out incredibly cool, and when I was drawing him live yesterday everybody just flipped out. That's how I know this lesson on "how to draw chibi Altair" will be a big hit. Don't forget to rate and comment on the tutorial, and if you want to favorite him, that's fin too. Peace peeps, I will be back soon with more drawing fun, so make sure you don't go anywhere far.

Turn your death-trap of precarious wiring into a design feature with E-Line. By placing a grooved, flexible exo-skin around the inner power cord, E-Line creates a semi-rigid cable you're able to spend hours obsessively tidying into a pleasing shape.
But don't throw out your last-gen floppy cables in a frenzy of excitement—the E-Line Cord is only a design concept at the moment. It'll be several weeks at the least before the Chinese can ship a supertanker full of clones of these out to the US. [Yanko Design]

This post kicks off our "DCoded" series, a partnership with the Center for Democracy & Technology in Washington, DC. Each installment takes you inside Washington and provides a look at the most important bills, regulations, think tankery, and bloviation on issues that will affect your Internet experience. First up: smartphones and privacy.
I have nostalgic memories of building computers with my father in the early 1990s. We'd set jumpers on motherboards, string together previously unrelated pieces of hardware, and pray for a successful boot screen. The process was arcane and often frustrating—definitely not for everyone. But the result was a machine that was decidedly our own.
When connectivity dawned on personal computing, users were still squarely in the driver's seat. My first dial-up Internet access was limited to twenty hours per month, requiring careful timekeeping on a clipboard that hung next the monitor. I would dart onto the Web, download articles and shareware games, then log off to preserve precious connection time. I was in control.
Today, it's a different story; our devices are more opaque and more connected than ever before. As a result, gadget geeks face a whole stack of privacy concerns the minute they fire up a new smartphone. Wireless carriers might be using their online browsing habits for market research; the hardware itself comes equipped with GPS, a camera, a microphone, and other sensors; the operating system might quietly compile logs of the user's location; and other pre-installed software might include hidden processes like CarrierIQ.
And this is all before installing the first app.
Recently, data security expert Bruce Schneier said, "I have much less control over this iPhone than I do over my computer... I cannot do things on this machine that I can do on my computer. I can't erase data to my satisfaction; I can't run an antivirus program to anybody's satisfaction. Because Apple isn't giving me the same level of control, of access that I have to a PC or even to a Mac."
Schneier's point holds true for other smartphones and consumer electronics of all kinds.
It's also true that not all users need—or even want—root level access to their devices. Heavily sandboxed computing environments have led to more stable, user-friendly devices. But the less we know, the less we can understand and control. "Computers seem more like specific appliances—but it's never an appliance, it's a computer with spyware on it out of the box," is Cory Doctrow's blunt assessment.
This creates a puzzle pitting convenience against privacy. Solving it has urgency because smartphones are deeply personal, always-connected, and increasingly cloud-reliant. They have all the power of traditional computing platforms plus the ability to precisely track our location. They've already become our personal assistants and will eventually replace our wallets. We're literally falling in love with the things.
These two trends—receding control and increasing reliance on third parties to manage and serve up our personal data—mean that we badly need an update to our privacy laws.
The incomplete patchwork of US privacy laws sets a low bar for many companies. The Federal Trade Commission can police companies that lie about their data practices, but this isn't enough on its own. As companies rush to collect more data, they're also making fewer disclosures. As result, it can be hard, even for privacy professionals, to know what's being collected and how it's being used.
Piecemeal policy
A small set of federal lawmakers have struggled recently to address privacy threats in the mobile space. The result is a handful of bills (which have yet to be passed) and letters to companies and regulators (which have no legal effect, but can exert pressure). These efforts hit on important issues and are worth highlighting, but this piecemeal approach has yet to produce meaningful protections.
A number of recent bills have focused on location. Senators Al Franken (D-MN) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) have introduced the Location Privacy Protection Act of 2011, which would require consent before a company collects or shares our location information. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) proposed the Geolocational Surveillance and Privacy (GPS) Act, which would require government agencies to obtain a warrant—in accordance with our Fourth Amendment rights—to track our location, and also to restrain companies from sharing location data about their customers without consent. Both bills would be welcome protections, especially given that even phones without GPS can still be used to track owners who connect to cell towers and to Wi-Fi networks.
Highly publicized software scandals have also drawn the attention of Congress. The CarrierIQ uproar prompted letters from Franken to carriers and handset makers. Recently, Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) released a draft of the Mobile Device Privacy Act, which would require your permission before monitoring software is used on a mobile device. This is a complicated issue, but it's hard to argue against the idea that users should always be able to see what software is running on their devices. This bill might not be primed for passage, but it recognizes the importance of true transparency and control.
This scattershot approach from Congress demonstrates that at least some policymakers are paying attention. Even without the bills' passage into law, these efforts raise awareness and put pressure on companies to observe responsible policies. Unfortunately, the introduction of these bills hasn't changed the ground rules: at the end of the day, we have little control over or even awareness about how our information is collected and used. This is unsustainable.
The Obama Administration recently published a Consumer Bill of Rights and recommended that it be codified into federal law. The principles contained in the report are designed to empower individuals in the highly connected environment we live in today. They include concepts like "individual choice," transparency," and reasonable limits on the personal data that companies can collect—fundamental building blocks of a sound privacy framework.
In the absence of legislation, the administration has committed to working with companies, advocates, and academics to advance these goals. This process is currently in the planning stage, and the Administration has indicated that the mobile space is a top concern (see its recent report).
The Federal Trade Commission recently released a much-anticipated Privacy Report and joined the administration in asking Congress to consider a law. The Report itself is a nuanced articulation of privacy challenges and solutions—all good stuff—but it's not legally binding. Without Congressional support, some of the best suggestions in the Privacy Report don't have teeth.
Non-governmental actors can have some sway, too. The GSMA, a trade group for mobile operators and related companies worldwide, recently released a strong set of mobile privacy guidelines. CDT recently published a set of app developer best practices in an effort to help with the app side of the equation. Other initiatives are underway across the industry and public interest spheres.
But the bottom line is this: we deserve to have better laws on the books. Modest progress is welcome, but without fundamental change, our privacy remains at risk.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Gary Nova threw four touchdown passes in the second half to lead No. 19 Rutgers to a 35-10 comeback victory over Temple on Saturday.
Jawan Jamison had 114 yards rushing and 81 receiving, Nova threw for 232 yards, and the Scarlet Knights (7-0, 4-0 Big East) rallied from a 10-0 halftime deficit in their first game against Temple (3-3, 2-1) since the Owls were kicked out of the conference in 2004.
Held to just 110 total yards in the first 30 minutes, Rutgers was unstoppable in the second half. The Scarlet Knights scored on their first four possessions and racked up 271 yards.
Nova connected with Tim Wright on a 32-yard TD pass to cap a 75-yard drive and cut Temple's lead to 10-7.
Jamison then caught a short pass over the middle, broke a tackle, juked a defender, and ran into the end zone for a 32-yard TD catch that gave Rutgers a 14-10 edge.
Nova completed a pair of third-down passes to keep the 89-yard drive going, hitting Wright for 15 yards and Mark Harrison for 23.
Logan Ryan intercepted Chris Coyer's pass on Temple's ensuing possession and returned it 17 yards to the Owls 49. That set up Nova's 5-yard TD pass to Harrison that put Rutgers up 21-10.
Nova rolled to his right and threw back across his body to Harrison, who slid across the end zone to make the catch.
After Leonte Carroo blocked a punt to give Rutgers the ball at Temple's 26, Nova hit D.C. Jefferson on a 10-yard TD pass for a 28-10 lead.
Then Rutgers' defense joined in. Khaseem Green returned a fumble 20 yards for a TD that made it 35-10.
The Scarlet Knights are 7-0 for the second time in six seasons — and the fifth time since being credited with playing the first college football game 143 years ago.
The Owls were bidding for their first upset of a Top 25 team since 1998.
Facing the nation's second-ranked rushing defense — Rutgers came in allowing just 60.8 yards on the ground — Temple had 74 yards in the first quarter alone.
Coyer tossed a 4-yard TD pass to Cody Booth to give Temple a 7-0 lead late in the first. Coyer had two open receivers in the right corner of the end zone. The pass sailed over the head of running back Kenny Harper, who jumped and tipped it back. Booth slid in behind him and made a diving catch.
Brandon McManus booted a career-best 68-yard punt to the Scarlet Knights 6 late in the first half. He then kicked a 49-yard field goal to put Temple up 10-0.
A crowd of 35,145 was the third-largest for Temple at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles. There were plenty of red-clad Scarlet Knights' fans who made the trip down the New Jersey Turnpike.
Rutgers went three-and-out on its first two series, and Nova lost a fumble on the third. Nova's streak of 165 passes without an interception ended on the final play of the first half when Tavon Young picked off his deep throw.
Temple played without safety Vaughn Carraway, who was suspended by the Big East for a flagrant foul during last week's win at Connecticut.

Thank you for your interest in this program. We should be contacting you shortly.
A record is anything that provides information. A record may be on any type of media: paper or electronic, digital or analog, magnetic or optical, liquid or solid. In today's technological environment, organizations must learn how to handle records so that they can be used as needed in the future. Records must be managed from the time they are created or received through distribution, use, and maintenance, until they are finally destroyed or permanently archived.
This online course will give you a basic overview of records management terminology, concepts, and procedures to successfully manage records in today's offices. Regardless of the media on which the record is stored, it must be properly managed to be an asset to the organization. Another important component of a professional records management program is legality issues. A comprehensive, legally-sound records retention schedule must be developed and strictly followed so that the company is not held liable for problems that could have been avoided in the first place. This course will assist you in making those decisions based upon certain characteristics of the records. Also, you'll learn to code and file according to the rules established by the Association of Records Managers and Administrators (ARMA).
Hardware Requirements:
Software Requirements:
Instructional Material Requirements:

July 8, 2013
A cursory glance at recent headlines carry words such as: "The Economy in Stress", "Where Are the Jobs?", "Scandal after Scandal Seems to be Emerging", " Threats of Terror", "Freedoms Eroded, Excessive Intrusiveness". We are in the midst of most significant disturbing events in our society. What will be the outcome of these troubling times? And, what impact will these matters have on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? We might do well to follow the prescription as provided us by that great English scholar John Locke.
In our modern form of Republican Democracy we hold certain truths to guide the ship of state. Some such truths would be Thomas Jefferson's values of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness as stated in the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson's ideas were great and expansive but not necessarily original. He drew many of these ideas from the noted scholar John Locke.
It was Locke's philosophical belief in a democratic constitution, which served as the basis for the American Declaration of Independence, and the American Constitution. Jefferson and our forefathers, who shaped our system of government, were students of John Locke, and when drafting the documents of state, relied on his writings for guidance. Our forefathers not only followed Locke, but also identified with his line of thinking. Thus, Locke in many ways inspired the intellectual development of our colonial government, which has lasted peacefully well over 200 years.
Locke originally mentioned three rights of man, Life, Liberty and Property. Those rights were to be vigorously protected by the state. Locke advocated entering a "Social Contract" whereby men would agree to concede some of their autonomy to gain protection from each other. This "Social Contract" is the document, which delegates the duties of the state to man, and man's duties to the state. It defines the relationship between man and his government. This contract ends the state of nature and allows for representative democracy and a fair and impartial judge to hear and resolve disputes.
Locke also discusses the labor of man as something of his own. From this concept comes the basis of "property." Property as defined by Locke, is all that a man can produce with his labor. The bounty of that labor belongs to him and no other individual. It was Locke who said "Every person has a property in his own person that belongs to oneself." Men entered the above stated "Social Contract" to protect their property from the exploitation and pillage of rouge men and thieves. And if the thief was larger than you in a state of nature, your property became that of the thief. So then men created a state to protect themselves and their property from each other, under such a system property is protected and autonomy is preserved with only few limitations. And thus, the social contract is fulfilled and men are safe, secure and then can truly enjoy the bounty of "Life, Liberty and Property."
We would claim that there are many states in the world, and those states who know John Locke respect the human rights of individuals and personal freedom for the many. Parenthetically and sadly, those states who do not know Locke's principles are the poorest and most oppressed. In its day, such philosophical principles of human rights were attacked as "extreme" and now all people of the free world thrive from the ideas that John Locke wrote about some 300 years ago. It has stood solidly the test for well over 200 years. For our Republic, the next several years are pivotal. Our leaders and candidates for public office would do well to follow the lead so brilliantly provided by John Locke. That is the way we see it FROM MY PERSPECTIVE.

The person who guesses correctly gets to choose the next cap and posts it. For our new players, it's not too tough to post a pic, TrekCore is a great place to find the pics and there's easy to use sites like Photobucket and ImageShack to host them so they can be posted here. Here are the final scores from the last thread: Players are listed in chronological order from their first win Garm Bel Iblis: 34 Bad Atom: 18 LeadHead: 37 Mtbillie: 5 Orac: 2 Jtrek: 1 Canuck69: 2 Thor Damar: 1 This one was a close one between LeadHead (AKA Public Enemy # 1) and Garm Bel Iblis (who was secretly 5 users working together to take me down, that's right, i knew about that guys ) Our Top 5: LeadHead: Known in some circles as the person who everybody hates. Garm Bel Iblis: I have no idea what his name is supposed to mean, the only thing I know about that is that there was a Garm Brood in Starcraft Bad Atom: Based on his Avatar it seems that Deanna Troi might not have been responsible for crashing the Enterprise...

Orioles' top prospects could reach Majors in 2013
Duquette also strongly hinted that the O's top prospects could reach the Majors this season.
"[Jonathan] Schoop had a good winter in Arizona, and we got [Dylan] Bundy and [Kevin] Gausman knocking on the door," Duquette said.
Bundy and Gausman are ranked the club's top two prospects according to MLB.com, and the organization is hopeful they will develop into the frontline starter missing from the Orioles' current roster. Bundy was bumped up to Class A Frederick in May after an incredible start to his pro career at Class A Delmarva. The 20-year-old was promoted to Double-A Bowie in mid-August, and he earned a callup to the big leagues on Sept. 19. Gausman, who just turned 22, was the first college pitcher taken in last year's Draft and appeared in five Minor League games after signing.
The duo of young righties will have to prove they can have success at Double-A, as Duquette has said in the past, but both Bundy and Gausman could arrive in Baltimore this year. Schoop will be in Major League camp, but given the team's roster construction, it would be a reach to consider him in the running for an Opening Day spot. Still, a solid Minor League season could boost his stock, and Duquette shocked the baseball world last year when he promoted shortstop Manny Machado from Double-A to the Majors and moved him to third base.
Duquette also singled out the efforts of some of the current Orioles pitchers and has slowly accumulated enough depth in the organization to not rush Bundy or Gausman through the Minors.
"The young starting pitchers we had at the end of the year -- I'm talking specifically about [Chris] Tillman, [Miguel] Gonzalez and Steve Johnson -- they pitched as good as any three young starters in the league," Duquette said. "They've had the benefit of significant experience up here, so I think our starting rotation, in terms of depth, is in pretty good shape going forward."

Hodges Wood Products Laboratories
Scroll below for building history
Location: Central Campus
Built 1960
Sq. Footage 29,449
This laboratory was the first of its kind in the Southeast and one of the most outstanding in the nation. The scientific and analytical equipment necessary for research in wood and wood products is housed in this one-story brick building.
Brandon Patton Hodges (1903-1957) was a valuable source of support for the School of Forest Resources and the pulp and paper program. He was instrumental in bringing several large industries to western North Carolina, and expanding NC State's forestry program and facilities.
Although Hodges had no direct association with the University, he had great political influence as chairman of the Appropriations Committee and member of the Advisory Committee for the State Senate. He exercised his interest in forest research through his positions as state treasurer, and as a member of the State Educational Commission. During his later years, he was a legal advisor to the Champion Paper and Fiber Company, headquartered in Canton, N.C.

Active (view current version of standard)
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover procedures for the determination of the resistance of stainless steels and related alloys to pitting and crevice corrosion (see Terminology G 15) when exposed to oxidizing chloride environments. Six procedures are described and identified as Methods A, B, C, D, E, and F.
1.1.1 Method A—Ferric chloride pitting test.
1.1.2 Method B—Ferric chloride crevice test.
1.1.3 Method C—Critical pitting temperature test for nickel-base and chromium-bearing alloys.
1.1.4 Method D—Critical crevice temperature test for nickel-base and chromium-bearing alloys.
1.1.5 Method E—Critical pitting temperature test for stainless steels.
1.1.6 Method F—Critical crevice temperature test for stainless steels.
1.2 Method A is designed to determine the relative pitting resistance of stainless steels and nickel-base, chromium-bearing alloys, whereas Method B can be used for determining both the pitting and crevice corrosion resistance of these alloys. Methods C, D, E and F allow for a ranking of alloys by minimum (critical) temperature to cause initiation of pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion, respectively, of stainless steels, nickel-base and chromium-bearing alloys in a standard ferric chloride solution.
1.3 These tests may be used to determine the effects of alloying additives, heat treatment, and surface finishes on pitting and crevice corrosion resistance.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. Other units are given in parentheses for information only.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

By Gill South
9:30 AM Monday Nov 19, 2012
Gill South heads for the pool to join an innovative new exercise class learning aqua Pilates.
Well, as you know I naturally gravitate towards anything that involves water - apart from swimming lap after lap after lap down a pool which bores the pants off me.
I have gate-crashed one of the first Aqua Pilates classes at my sports club, Next Generation, and the friendly woman who rather terrified me with her Pilates class a few weeks earlier, Heather Stewart, is running it. Her Pilates class is definitely directed more at types who know what they are doing rather than wannabes like me.
But it turns out the aqua Pilates class is much more my standard. Heather, who has her own company with her mother, Studio Pilates, is feeling her way with the class, figuring out what works and what doesn't, so there is nothing too testing. At this point there is no formal format for aqua Pilates which suits me down to the ground. I'm very happy to go along for the ride as this energetic Kiwi breaks new ground.
In today's class we do a lot with our noodles, so to speak - those over-sized shoestring-shaped things made of foam which children use when they are first learning to swim. We middle-aged ladies sit astride them like a circus ride, paddling with our legs and arms. It's not a million miles from some of my aqua zumba stuff but there's no loud music and the instructor is in the pool with us getting as wet as the rest of us.
Heather tells me she is taking her ideas direct from Pilates but still getting her head round how the water builds up the resistance and how your body copes with that. When doing aqua Pilates you have to keep a close eye on your alignment and to get the water resistance right, says Heather. If you do an exercise where you take your leg behind you, for instance, if you don't not know how to keep your spine "in vertical" you will feel it in your back, she says. In water you can always get more from your body if you can hold your spine up.
As with Pilates, we do the frog, scissors, the abdominal series and side kick series if that means anything to you Pilates types. We also use foam weights (my kind of weights) doing exercises just under the surface of the water to use the resistance there. It's a bit like boxing. Heather uses the noodle and the foam weights, to help us with the Pilates shapes, she says.
"I'm loving it, I was really sore after last week," Heather tells me gleefully. Being sore is a good sign in her book. Ah, we have so little in common apart from our love of the water.
I've missed a couple of classes but intend going back when life calms down. Heather says she is timing it better the more classes she does. I hope they haven't got all fabulous in my absence.
Aqua Pilates is a good one for me, says Heather. With my favourite sport, tennis, I do things that shorten my muscles. I have to counter-stretch to help my body recover, she says.
Trust me to do exercise that's bad for me, typical.
Heather puts it well when she says aqua Pilates is a bit like synchronised swimming - oh yes, that's another idea for me isn't it? I used to love those Esther Williams synchronised swimming movies, a genre of their own.

Quality movies routinely get snubbed this time of year as organizations release their "best of the year" proclamations.
It's still interesting to note that Philomena, a movie that accuses the Catholic Church of cruel adoption policies, and much worse, received several key nominations from the Golden Globes while Lone Survivor got shut out.
Judi Dench earned a Best Actress nomination as the titular Philomena, and her film drew one of five slots in the Best Movie Picture, Drama category.
Lone Survivor recalls the heroic true story of four Navy SEALs forced to fight a small army of Taliban forces. The film is patriotic to its core, extolling the strength and sacrifices of its main characters without attempting to humanize the Taliban warriors stalking the SEALs.
The Golden Globes are chosen by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a group of international journalists which routinely comes under fire for its odd choices and hunger for celebrities to attend its annual bash.

State DEP secretary responds to gas drilling criticism
Michael Krancer sits down 1-on-1 with Action News' Jim Parsons
As anti-fracking protesters demonstrated outside the David L. Lawrence Convention Center during Thursday's drilling conference, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Michael Krancer sat down with Channel 4 Action News' Jim Parsons to answer questions about whether he is too close to the gas drilling industry.
He may at times sound more like the CEO of a drilling company rather than the person in charge of enforcing environmental regulations, but Krancer's not apologizing for it.
"Very rarely do we have the location of the resource and the location of the markets at the same place. Right here is where we have it. This is a moment in history. We need to grab it as Americans," said Krancer.
Outside the Developing Unconventional Gas Conference and Exhibition, protesters accused Krancer of failing to protect Pennsylvanians. Recent reports claim the DEP has been concealing results from some lab tests of contaminated well water.
"We always suspected that the DEP wasn't properly testing the water and now it has come forward that they are, in fact, lying to Pennsylvanians about the safety of their water," said protester Loretta Weir.
But Krancer told Parsons, "The whole thing is a tempest in a teapot and much ado about nothing created by plaintiff's lawyers litigating a personal injury case seeking a contingent fee."
Krancer said the DEP's procedures for testing well water near gas drilling operations are the same as they've always been in Pennsylvania, and he doesn't plan to change them.
He also disputed the charge that he is not tough on violators. He said he'll go after cheaters, but adds there aren't many in the industry.
"The vast majority of our operators are as concerned about compliance and as environmentally sensitive and act as environmental stewards as much as anybody," said Krancer.
But Weir and other protesters disagree.
"We know it's dangerous. They're pumping chemicals into our water," she said.

This looks like its going to be a good font. but the linkages do not work in OSX when using text edit which seems to be hte premier programme for writing in unusual languages.
Any hints from anyone?
The Nastaliq Navees font was developed for Apple's QuickDraw GX technology, part of Mac OS versions 7.x and 8. This system is now obsolete. It would be nice to update the font for current technology (Mac OS X, Unicode, AAT), but we have not had the time and resources to work on this; therefore, it will not work with today's software.
dear sir is this font is for windows
No. See the System Requirements page.
Any chance this font (or at leaset the glyphs composing it and some documentation about has this font was designed) got released under a free software lisence? so that free comunity can pick it and, hopfully, port it to modern font technologies like AAT and graphite. I'd personally like to work on such font.
The MacArabic-encoded font works fine in Snow Leopard, with no changes necessary.
The fonts are really well-done.
Have any of the non-Latin fonts been upgraded to Unicode 7.0?
If not, are there any plans to do so?
Scheherazade supports the newest Unicode 7.0 Arabic script characters. The Harmattan (in the "Fonts in Development" section) font also supports some of the Unicode 7.0 Arabic script characters (but not all).
I believe those are the only non-Latin fonts we've updated so far.
Annapurna (Devanagari script) is in the process of being updated. We do not currently plan to create fonts for any of the complete scripts added to Unicode 7.0.
OK, I'm stupid. I don't see how to download any of these fonts. Is there some way to just download all of them? Or do I have to go to each one individually and figure out how to do it?
Hi Larry!
To download fonts, click on the blue link for the font name, e.g. "Charis SIL 5.000". That will take you to the product page where you can read about the font's features and requirements, which packages are available for different platforms or different needs, etc. and then download the package that's most appropriate to your purposes.
Hope you find our fonts useful,
There are OpenType features opbd, lfbd, rtbd, defined by Adobe which I think are intended for use with optical justification. Do any of these fonts have those features? Does graphite enable optical margins?
Hi Jim! I'll ask colleagues about this and get back to you with an answer.
Hi Jim! None of our fonts support optical margins, and the Graphite engine does not currently support optical margins either.
Je n'arrive pas avoir la réponse à ma question, avec la Licence SIL Open Font (OFL) des polices, est-ce que je suis libre de fabriquer des chiffres ou lettres industrielle à des fins commerciaux ?
Ex : Cadran d'une montre avec des chiffres hebraique ?
A bientôt ;)
Hi Valentin,
Yes, you are free to make products based on the fonts. The SIL OFL FAQ has a section that covers that:
1.1 Can I use the fonts for a book or other print publication, to create logos or other graphics or even to manufacture objects based on their outlines?
All the best with your project!
Is there a way to download all the fonts at once?
Hi James,
No, we don't offer a single download for fonts. Our fonts are aimed at very different audiences, so there probably aren't very many people who would want all of them at once.
Thank you . So very nice font
