Over the next few days, Basket Bawful and Free Darko will be previewing each NBA Playoff series. Basket Bawful looks at the Western Conference today, finishing with the series between the San Antonio Spurs and the Phoenix Suns, which begins Saturday.
It is on, baby! After three years of being used and abused by their arch nemesis, er nemeses, uh, nemesises ... whatever ... the Suns traded the future and a piece of their very souls to bring The Big Lord of the Rings to Phoenix. And they did it for the express purpose of beating the Spurs. Now we get to find out if their plan is going to work, and it's only the first round.
The season series: The Suns won it 3-1.
Bad news for the Suns: I've been avoiding all the obligatory "Man, the Western Conference is crazy!" exclamations in my previews, but man ... the Western Conference really is crazy, isn't it? The Suns finished exactly one game behind the Spurs, yet Phoenix is the sixth seed and San Antonio is the third (despite a second-place finish in their own division). The end result of all these shenanigans is that the Suns will have to win at least one game in the AT&T Center — where the Spurs are 34-7 — if they want to move on.
Good news for the Suns: The Spurs lost only seven times at home all season. Two of those losses came against the Suns. So Phoenix can beat them on the road. In the regular season, anyway. Now they have to prove they can do it in the playoffs. And, as you probably already know, the playoffs are a whole different animal. Not "shark with a buzzsaw-looking thingy in its mouth" different, but definitely different.
Reality check: Like Rudy T. said, you should never underestimate the heart of a champion, and part of me wants to pick the Spurs because, well, they're the Spurs. Manu Ginobili has played (at times) like an MVP, Tim Duncan is still Tim Duncan, Tony Parker continues to be both annoying and French (actually, aren't those synonyms?) and they went 12-3 down the stretch, including wins over the Mavericks, Magic, Rockets, Warriors and Jazz. Then again, they're an old team, Duncan is showing the first slight signs of decay, and one of those three losses in that 12-3 streak came at home to the Suns. They may have the third-best record in the West, but they don't feel as dominant as they used to...and besides, they're not that much better than the Suns in the standings, and certainly not on paper.
Spurs player(s) to watch: Tim Duncan. Parker might have been the Finals MVP last season, and Manu Ginobili might have been MVP-like this season, but Timmy's still the centerpiece of the Spurs' championship buffet. Yet in the two games San Antonio has played against Phoenix since the Shaq trade, Duncan's shooting eye has been off (15-for-40 in two games). Moreover, Shaq's physical defense really seemed to bother him in the late stages of those games. I also can't wait to see if San Antonio's grumpy old men - Brent Barry, Kurt Thomas, Michael Finley, and Robert Horry - have anything other than fumes left in the tank. And don't forget Damon Stoudemire. He won't play much, but the dude is in full championship piggyback mode, so expect him to cheer like crazy from the end of the Spurs' bench. Also, Bruce Bowen ... you know what I mean.
Suns player(s) to keep an eye on: Shaq. He's supposed to be The Big Difference Maker, right? Phoenix can only beat San Antonio if the Diesel can provide interior defense, contain Tim Duncan, and score from the post when Mike D'Antoni's offense bogs down. Amare Stoudemire. People seem to have forgotten this, but Stat averaged 37 PPG against the Spurs in the 2005 Western Conference Finals. That was before his first knee injury. And — especially since the Shaq trade — Stoudemire sure looks like he's got that mojo back, doesn't he? Steve Nash. He needs to at least try to stay in front of Tony Parker. Gordan Giricek. The Suns need him to provide scoring off the bench and the long-range shooting necessary to establish the proper spacing, especially when Shaq's working it down low.
Key(s) to the series: Amare Stoudemire, Boris Diaw and whoever else you want to name need to keep their butts firmly affixed to the Phoenix bench when Bruce Bowen and/or Robert Horry start pulling their inevitable crap.
Prediction: Suns in six. Then we will celebrate good times, come on!

What do you do if it's 1902 and you're dying to know something about this Panama Canal everyone keeps talking about? Or maybe you want to hear some good music, something better than that small-town band you've heard a hundred times this year already. Maybe you've been wondering what it's like on the other side of the Earth, or how electricity works, or the latest theories about those atom thingies.
Your options in 1902 would be limited. Most of our present-day methods for satisfying the desire for information and entertainment simply didn't exist at that time. There was, however, an institution that aimed to bring the world to the public in the form of a traveling show. They called it "Chautauqua."
Chautauqua was a nationwide adult education movement popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was named for the small town in western New York where the concept originated. Orators, musicians, actors, and other performers traveled around the country in circuits, putting on shows in large cities and small towns alike. They stayed from a few days to a few weeks depending on the gate receipts and the enthusiasm of the crowd.
The shows usually featured a combination of singing, orchestral music, lectures and "elocution," comedy, and inspirational speeches. Sometimes the speakers would illustrate their talks with lantern slides, creating the closest experience to world travel many Chautauqua attendees would ever have. Local arrangement committees usually contracted with a Chautauqua management company to schedule the show, which would then be heavily advertised through newspapers and handbills.
Traveling Chautauquas were generally held in large tents set up on the outskirts of town, but the institution became so popular in some Florida communities that local citizens raised funds to build permanent auditoriums for holding the events. Lakeland, Arcadia, Mt. Dora, and DeFuniak Springs are a few examples. As Chautauqua grew and the annual timing of the shows became more regular, families would come from miles around to camp and attend. Often a member of the traveling company would be in charge of devising activities for the children. Sometimes the children produced a show of their own to present to the adult audience toward the end of the Chautauqua series.
In a world without the Internet, television, or even radio, this sort of cultural experience was nothing short of thrilling for many participants. Particularly good orators sometimes gained the same sort of fame enjoyed by today's movie and television stars. Even speeches themselves could gain immense popularity. Temple University founder Russell Conwell was well-known for an inspirational speech entitled "Acres of Diamonds." He reputedly gave the speech over 6,100 times, mostly on the Chautauqua circuit.
We still have lectures and live performances, of course, but we certainly don't depend on them as our forebears once did. Most folks aren't even familiar with the word "Chautauqua," let alone its history as a way of connecting people with the world. One slight exception is the Florida Chautauqua in DeFuniak Springs, which still hosts periodic cultural events throughout the year.
Speaking of connections, Florida Memory is proud to be your gateway to the history and culture of the Sunshine State. What's something you've learned on Florida Memory that you never knew before? Tell us about it by leaving a comment below or on Facebook!

Scrolling shooter fans have every reason to get fired up over Xbox Live Arcade next week, when Square Enix releases the remake of Taito classic shmup, RayStorm HD.
RayStorm HD takes the lock-on shooting action of Taito's 1996 arcade game, slaps on a fresh coat of HD graphics, widens the playing field, and tosses in a new ship - the homing missile-firing R-Gear - for good measure. The remake features several different game modes, including Arcade, Extra, and an all-new Ranking mode.
McWhertor got his hands on the game at the Tokyo Game Show last year, and while it may have missed the "later this year" window mentioned in his preview, the authentic RayStorm game play should still be intact.
RayStorm HD will be available on Xbox Live Arcade next week for 1200 Microsoft points.

Wrap Up
Secret Spot
Restaurant Relocation
Bob decided to move the restaurant onto our HDTS parcel this weekend – He, Brooks and Brad dug up and disassembled the structure on Saturday, and on Sunday a larger group of us came out to transport and reinstall it. I coaxed Travis and Jack out there after brunch for what I loosely referred to as "an hour or two of digging" – but once we got into the project they super graciously stuck around to see it through. Bob had made an "off road" cart to move the steel panels with and things went fairly smoothly until the very end of the day when we were starting to lose the light and realized that the bottom of the hole needs widening in order to fit the panels together. (one of the panels torqued when we tried to slide it into place) I think I may have overheard a few sad sighs from Bob about not being able to finish what we had begun, but it made the most sense to all of us to return when we were fresh and had more daylight and less stress. (Don't miss the next incarnation of Secret Restaurant: "Full Moon Ramen" on March 15th!)
Formal Fridays
How to Live?
Winter Uniform
Back in uniform. For the last few years I've been making my clothes out of panels – with a few similar panel options for each season. But I've been missing the more stringent "one garment at a time – all the time" dictate – it's just easier, and it's also so much more challenging to make a garment that you know you are going to have to wear a LOT. The leather skirt is second hand and works great with wool thermals layered underneath… really warm when the desert gets cold. And I crocheted the sweater out of really beautiful variegated grey merino wool. Also worth mentioning is that in summer of 2013 I finished two decades of uniforms. So its now going into the 21st year of this project… amazing!

Commuter survey captures riders' ire
Most commuters questioned blamed railroad's leadership for problems
In a new survey, 90 percent of Metro-North commuters pointed to the railroad's leaders as a root cause of the late trains, crowded conditions and other problems that have often made going to work on the New Haven Line an ordeal in the past year.
Nearly 40 percent of those surveyed graded Metro-North's performance over the past several months a D-plus, while 66 percent said the railroad's more recent efforts merit a C or lower.
The survey, conducted by the Commuter Action Group, is meant to capture overall -- but not comprehensive -- levels of satisfaction among the New Haven Line's 115,000 plus daily commuters, CAG founder Jim Cameron said. In the seven days ending at 12:30 p.m. Sunday, the seven-question survey netted 642 responses.
Fifty-six percent of surveyed riders said they believe the railroad operates safely, while about 15 percent felt the service was unsafe and the rest were unsure.
"Safety is obviously important, but what about the lack of seating and reliability and punctuality?" one respondent commented. "The service is awful for the amount of money I fork out yet I don't get the sense that's a priority with Metro-North."
Cameron said he plans to conduct another survey after June 11 -- the 100-day mark since Metro-North issued a 100-day plan publicly pledging improvements to safety, service, and communications efforts.
"I hope the railroad looks at this and finds something in there they can use to good advantage," Cameron said of the current survey. "It will be important to have this baseline data to look at the letter grade sometime later."
Meredith Daniels, a spokeswoman for Metro-North, said the railroad and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority compile data that provide a more accurate picture.
"Every year, MTA Metro-North Railroad conducts a randomized, scientific, and extremely thorough survey of customers to understand how our performance is perceived," Daniels said.
She said that while the CAG survey "falls short of that standard, we encourage our customers to reach out to Metro-North management to discuss their concerns in person, by phone, by mail, and by social media."
In last year's Metro-North survey, compiled in June 2013, over 93 percent of the more than 5,000 customers surveyed were satisfied or better with the railroad's service, though that percentage fell to 88 percent when considering New Haven Line riders.
That Metro-North survey was conducted after the Bridgeport train crash that injured 72 people on May 17, 2013, but before many other problems the railroad had last year, including a derailment that killed four people in the Bronx, N.Y., on Dec. 1.
Asked what complaints they considered to be among the most serious, 90 percent of CAG survey respondents cited late or delayed trains, while 60 percent were bothered by what they considered poor communication during delays and 59 percent pointed to crowded trains.
Cameron said he promoted the survey among social media followers of the group's Twitter feed and Facebook page, as well as through regional online media.
"I'm not surprised it might skew a little on the negative side," Cameron said. "I know some of the respondents are people who felt they were not being heard and saw this as an opportunity to be heard."
The survey results indicated 48 percent of respondents believed that, following Metro-North's management, the Connecticut or New York departments of transportation shouldered significant blame for service problems that have hit the railroad since the spring of 2013.
In early March, Metro-North President Joseph Giulietti delivered a 100-day plan to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy laying out steps to regain confidence of riders and Connecticut officials.
One major commitment was the development of a new timetable meant to normalize travel times on all three Metro-North lines. That initiative applies particularly to the New Haven Line, on which on-time performance has plummeted due to redoubled track-maintenance efforts and lower speed limits imposed by federal railroad officials.
A report on a 60-day probe of Metro-North Railroad issued in March by the Federal Railroad Administration said the railroad had endangered riders by emphasizing on-time performance over basic safety.
The CAG survey also garnered comments from more than 250 respondents that were mostly derisive of some aspect of Metro-North's service, although there were some favorable comments and more moderate criticism.
"This service is really shameful for the amount we pay," one respondent wrote. "Rude conductors go completely unpunished, even the ones who I have advised metro north sleep on the train during the train ride."
Some singled out conductors or other rank-and-file workers for maintaining courtesy and professionalism amid problems.
"The conductors are fantastic and very professional," one respondent wrote. "I believe that senior management is lousy."
Connecticut Rail Commuter Council vice chairman John Hartwell said that while online surveys are not random enough to be scientific or compared over time, the comment section provide a valuable view of the perspectives riders have to offer.
"I think the comments section is terrific and incredibly useful," Hartwell said. "These are stories about people's lives, and I hope Metro-North and Connecticut DOT and the Legislature are listening."

Medicare Premiums Going Up $5 a Month for 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) - The government says Medicare premiums are going up $5 a month for 2013. That's less than expected, but it'll still eat up nearly one-fourth of the typical cost-of-living raise for retirees.
Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner says the monthly premium for 2013 will be $104.90 a month.
Also known as the Part B premium, it covers outpatient care such as office visits and medical supplies. Taxpayers pay 75 percent of the cost for Part B benefits, and the monthly premium covers the remaining 25 percent.
High-income beneficiaries face bigger increases, from $42 to $230.80 a month. Most low-income beneficiaries have their premiums paid by Medicaid.
Initially, premiums for 2013 were forecast to go up as much as $9 a month, but health care inflation has remained modest.

Michelle Dockery Oxfam's first Humanitarian Ambassador after 'heartbreaking' Syria trip
SHE'S ONE of the most famous faces on British TV and Michelle Dockery is putting her fame to good use.
The Downton Abbey star is to become Oxfam's first Humanitarian Ambassador, helping it raise funds and highlighting its work responding to emergencies around the world.
Last year, Dockery travelled with the charity to Jordan to meet Syrian refugees, then on her return helped launch Oxfam's "12 Days of Giving" campaign, which raised vital funds to support refugees during the harsh winter.
She said: "Travelling with Oxfam and meeting families whose lives have been torn apart by the conflict in Syria, stripped of everything they know - just trying to get by each day with the very basics they need to survive - was utterly heartbreaking.
"But thanks to Oxfam and the incredible support of the British public, they're not alone."
She added: "I witnessed first-hand the incredible work Oxfam do every day ensuring those people have the support they need to get back on their feet."
She has also supported Oxfam's appeal for emergency aid for those in desperate need in Gaza.
The announcement comes on World Humanitarian Day, which aims to recognise and celebrate those who face danger and adversity in their work helping others.
The charity's chief executive Mark Goldring said: "Michelle's contribution to helping raise vital funds for Syrian refugees and awareness of their situation over the last year has been unwavering. She is passionate, empathetic and eager to learn more about how we work to support us in the best way she can.
"On World Humanitarian Day, when we celebrate the heroism and commitment of those that work to help support people in dire need, we are thrilled to announce Michelle as our first ever Humanitarian Ambassador. It is an important role that will undoubtedly help us achieve our ultimate goal of keeping people and hope alive in times they need it most."
Oxfam UK ambassadors include singer Paloma Faith and TV and radio personality Zoe Ball, while global ambassadors include actor Bill Nighy, singer Annie Lennox, and actress Dame Helen Mirren.

WHEATFIELD - Michael J. Norris of Lockport was unanimously re-elected to a second full term as Niagara County Republican chairman at a committee meeting in the Wheatfield Community Center.
"It's gratifying to be re-elected," the 36-year-old attorney said.
Scott P. Kiedrowski, the North Tonawanda clerk-treasurer, was chosen first vice chairman, and James D. Heuer of Wheatfield will be second vice chairman. Hartland Supervisor W. Ross Annable was chosen party treasurer, and Newfane Councilman Marcus R. Hall will serve as secretary.
Norris said a few changes in party rules were passed. The annual endorsement meeting will be held within 60 days of the beginning of the nominating petition period, instead of always being held in May. The amount of notice needed for a GOP committee meeting was reduced from eight days to six.

Heat Pumps Avon Valley National Park
Quality brands and installation of Heat Pumps Avon Valley National Park
Dear Avon Valley National Park Home Owners, Hot Water Heat Pumps provide the benefits of saving money equivalent to traditional solar hot water without the need for roof thermal panels. Our range of Perth Heat Pumps also works in conjunction with solar power panels saving you even more money. Avon Valley National Park has on average 265 days of days with Sun making Avon Valley National Park ideal for heat pumps as they do not need direct sunlight to work.
If you have made the choice to remove your energy-hungry gas or electric system and replace this with a Heat Pump then the next stage is installation. Consider using our own Heat Pump Perth Plumbers.
How Heat Pumps Work
Think of a heat pump as a heat transporter constantly moving warm air from one place to another, to where it's needed or not needed, depending on the season. Even in air that seems too cold, heat energy is present. When it's cold outside a heat pump extracts this outside heat and transfers it inside. When it's warm outside, it reverses directions and acts like an air conditioner, removing heat from your home.
One advantage of a heat pump is that it moves heat instead of generating heat, giving you more energy efficiency. Also, it is powered by electricity, so you can save substantially on fuel consumption. Browse our range for full pricing lists and more information on brands.

NEWS- Jail first! Eco-arsonist goes to jail early
Eco-arsonist Lacey Phillabaum didn't wait for sentencing before going to jail. The former Charlottesville journalist entered a federal detention center January 28, six months before she will be sentenced for torching a $4 million horticulture facility.
"She's really eager to put this behind her," says James Johnson, a friend in Eugene, Oregon. "For most of us who know her, this whole incident is a bit of a shock. It's something she did when she was younger and that she deeply regrets."
Last fall, Phillabaum, 31, pleaded guilty to three counts in the 2001 eco-arson that destroyed the University of Washington's Center for Urban Horticulture, and she's looking at between three and five years when she's sentenced in July. She was indicted along with Jennifer Kolar, Justin Solondz, Briana Waters, and the late William C. Rodgers, who, according to the federal indictment, conspired to burn the horticulture center to destroy genetically engineered poplars.
Rodgers, believed to be the mastermind of the plot, committed suicide in jail December 22, 2005. He is also believed to have planned this country's largest ecoterrorism attack, one in Colorado that involved Phillabaum's boyfriend, Stanislas Meyerhoff.
Meyerhoff, who also resided briefly in Charlottesville, awaits a May sentencing on 54 counts involving seven arsons in Oregon, and another eight counts in the coordinated 1998 Colorado blazes that took out $12 million in ski facilities at Vail resort, including the mountaintop Two Elk restaurant. He pleaded guilty to around $20 million worth of arsons, and prosecutors are requesting a nearly 16-year sentence.
Phillabaum, who once served as an editor at the radical Earth First! Journal, was recruited from Oregon to Charlottesville in early 2005 by C-Ville Weekly. Meyerhoff followed in the fall, enrolled at Piedmont Virginia Community College, and studied engineering until his arrest on December 7, 2005.
Before her criminal past was revealed, Phillabaum freelanced two Hook stories and was working as a journalist in the Washington, DC area before her indictment. Friends have set up a website at laceyalice.org to provide information about her, particularly to counter the radical leftwing blogs that have accused her of being a snitch.
"There was a lot of vitriol directed against Lacey from the Pacific Northwest," says Johnson. "They objected to the fact that some of the defendants cooperated with authorities; they said she wore a wire, recorded conversations, and sold out all these people. That's just not true. Like other federal defendants, Lacey copped a plea."
Johnson considers Phillabaum's stint as an ecoterrorist an aberration. "She was briefly part of a conspiracy of folks who were isolated," he says. And when people say, "Wow, that doesn't sound like her at all," adds Johnson, "that's a truer reflection of what kind of person she is than a stupid crime committed six years ago."
Phillabaum is now being held at the SeaTac Federal Detention Facility in Seattle, which houses inmates awaiting sentencing. According to the friends' website, Phillabaum graduated cum laude from the University of Oregon in 1996 with a degree in art history and intends to continue writing and hopes to pursue a master's degree while she's in prison.
"I think Lacey was proud of the reporting she did in Charlottesville and extremely disappointed to have to leave it behind," says Johnson. "You have this person who for a very brief period many years ago led a bit of a double life. But she left that behind, and everything she did from that point was completely genuine. Lacey always took journalism really seriously."
Former Earth Liberation Front members Stan Meyerhoff and Lacey Phillabaum lived briefly in Charlottesville– after they torched millions of dollars worth of structures.

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles announced Wednesday that it has added three people to its board of trustees. Their election comes at a still-vulnerable time for the museum, which has been dealing with financial problems in recent years.
Among the new trustees is Bruce Karatz, former chairman and chief executive of KB Home. Eli Broad, who was a founder of the home-building company, is a founding chairman and life trustee of the museum. Karatz's wife, Lilly, is also a MOCA trustee.
Stanley P. Gold was also elected to the MOCA board. He is president and chief executive of Shamrock Holdings, a Burbank investment company. The company was founded by the late Roy E. Disney and continues to serve as an investment vehicle for certain members of his family.
Also joining the board is Orna Amir Wolens, a lawyer and local philanthropist.
The MOCA board saw the departures of four prominent artists last year in reaction to the ouster of chief curator Paul Schimmel and decisions made by director Jeffrey Deitch.
The board recently rejected a takeover proposal from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
In March, MOCA said it had raised $60 million toward a goal of a $100-million endowment. The endowment had suffered seriously in recent years, dropping to $5 million in 2009 due to overspending and the global recession.
MOCA donations declined $270,000 in 2011-12

The CAJM conference in NY was a great opportunity to explore the experiences of the city as well as its museums. It was appropriately named The City as Muse. While there, I had the opportunity to revisit the Lower East Side Tenement Museum. When I was last there I visited the residences within the building, located around the corner from where my father once lived as a boy. I recall how fascinated I was with how they reconstructed the stories of the residents who once lived there. This visit was somewhat different in that we visited the shops and bar that were once housed on the ground floor beneath the residences.
We entered what was once a German bar around 1870 when the area was largely German and traced the lives of its owners and the community that gathered there. Newspaper articles and documents aided in its reconstruction and painted a picture of the role it played within its surrounding community. Next door was another shop, actually a variety of shops over time from a kosher butcher to an auction house to an underwear discounter. The museum was faced with a choice, which store would they choose to represent? Their creative response was to represent all of them using technology that allows the viewer to place an object on a white board and pick up a phone which tells the story behind it. Documents appear on the board that expand on the story. This use of technology allows them build a story from an artifact, much in the way they reconstructed spaces themselves from documents and items found in the fireplace.
On another day we visited the Chelsea home of artist/architect Allan Wexler where he shared his work with us. Later he led us on a walk along the High Line, a former elevated railroad track that affords views of the city and soon will be the site of the new Whitney Museum expansion. Much like the Promenade Plantee in Paris, it is basically an elevated park and walkway. Public art can be found along the High Line and for the third time in my visit I saw the wonderful work of El Anatsui (Broken Bridge II Western wall between West 21st and West 22nd Streets on the High Line), a Ghanaian artist who makes use of aluminum, bottle caps and copper wire in his museum work and pressed tin and mirrors in the work along the High Line.
On the same visit I admired a beautiful piece of his at the Metropolitan Museum and many works which filled a huge area within the Brooklyn Museum.
I had the opportunity to visit the Brooklyn Museum with CAJM during the museum's Saturday event which is open for free to the public. The Brooklyn Museum has an eclectic collection and juxtaposes pieces that I would not always expect to be side by side. It was full of surprises and I suspect that helps to introduce people to the museum that might not normally seek it out. The Brooklyn Museum has been very successful in reaching out to the surrounding community and doing programming that invites them in.
On one floor they house the Judy Chicago dinner party, a triangular table with individually designed plates and tapestries that speak of the women that the creator imagined inviting to a dinner party, women who were pivotal in history and especially women's history, but frequently not adequately recognized. While I had heard of it for decades, this was my first opportunity to see it.
Earlier in the day I had been at the Metropolitan Museum where I observed films from the early 1900s. Similar films were at the Brooklyn Museum near the paintings from the same period. I was especially intrigued by these as I was reading the Inventor and the Tycoon, a book about Eadweard Muybridge and his creation of moving pictures. I could understand the delight and amazement of people as they watched images of their time as I felt a similar delight watching a windy day at the foot of the Flatiron building a century later where early NY residents grabbed their hats to save them from the wind. At the Brooklyn Museum I watched a 1901 film by Thomas Edison, who elbowed out Muybridge in the moving picture game, capture a Marilyn Monroe moment when a woman of the times walked over a grate with a gust of wind as she held down her skirt, then burst into laughter in her turn of the century garb.
On the last day of my visit we walked over to the 9/11 memorial. The design of it is both beautiful and moving. Each tower has a pool of water that echoes its footprint. Around it are the names of those who perished in its collapse. The names are grouped by logical groupings, firemen together as well as specific businesses. They are cut out of the metal so at night a light underneath illuminates them. A waterfall descends from all four sides forming rainbows. Ultimately it pours into a 20 foot square and disappears in much the same way that the towers did. The name of the memorial is Reflecting Absence.

WTF I want my Cattakissems!
I was wrong.
I stood there with my hubby, waiting. There were two lanes open and 2 people in front of us.
Lane one went through both of the customers ahead of us. Lane two was struggling with confusion over a request for a gift exchange, where in he'd already exchanged it for gift cards (the computer systems track these things, people) and was trying to get it exchanged again using the old receipt, ie trying to pull a fast one for free stuff. Thanks bud for lieing, getting caught, and closing up one lane of the customer support line for half an hour or more.
So, lane one. Slow-moving customer support desk. The 2nd guy is wrapping up his pickup of his own Cataclysm game, and I'm getting ready to walk up when some guy comes around the corner and, walking behind the desk, grabs a vacuum cleaner box and puts it on the counter. Coming back around to the customer side, he waits right next to the other customer, watches him wrap up his transaction, and then immediately speaks up to the young woman behind the counter. "Can I pick this up now?"
WTF I want my Cattakissems!!
You, sir, have just been thrown mental daggers at by a rather pissed off gamer on her lunch break who is channeling her inner rogue alt. Hope you like those iLevel 232 dagger hilts sticking out of your skull, you LINE CUTTER.
I set my jaw and glare at the back of his head as he goes through his pickup of his vacuum cleaner. Angry Kae WTF-tree powers activated. I stand there thinking, "If I were working here, I'd've told him to go to the back of the line. The staff are rewarding him for his rude behavior by letting him get it. What is the world coming to?"
He doesn't even hurry with the transaction. He takes his time.
Finally, he leaves, and I get to pick up my big ole collector's ed box next to the guy who's still arguing that he wants to exchange something he doesn't own anymore for more merchandise, and rush home and let River go potty and give her lunch and pick up a COFFEE NOM MOCHA and head back to work for the afternoon, my soundtrack tucked under my arm.
My spot in line got ninja'd, though, and it rankles me. Grr. Argh.
/moonfires the vacuum.
Things I wish I could speak up and bitch about in-person, but haven't the guts or the time to make a scene about. /sigh.

It could be worse, tho. You could be like me and not be able to get your Cattykysm on until tommorrow. I PREORDERED my collector's edish through Amazon. Overnight shipping.
I work at a call center, don't get home until 7:45 pm, so guess what? UPS delivered it, but didn't leave it at my door as instructed. No. They deliver it to the apartment complex's front office. Which closed 5 hours ago. My collector's edish is sitting just under 1000 feet away, locked in my apartment complex's office until 9 am tommorrow.
I'm glad I have backup MMO's to play (World of Tanks FTW!) to take the sting off.
- December 7, 2010 at 10:16 PM
Really late, I know.
I usually point out to line cutters that there is, in fact a line here, feigning ignorance that they are unaware of the very obvious queue.
One time, a lady I passed the aforementioned hint to refused to relinquish her ill-begotten place in the queue. I didn't want to make a scene, but turned to my young child and told him "This is very bad manners, son. When you grow up, you must never cut the queue." The lady turned red and finished her transaction real quick. :)

If you've ever done any serious trekking with a heavy pack strapped to your back, you'll know that a sturdy frame can help better distribute the weight over your body. But it's a Catch-22 since the frame adds weight as well—unless it's mostly made of air like Klymit's new inflatable Air Beam.
Made of a lightweight fabric, the miniature air mattress weighs just 70 grams which is less than half of what a rigid plastic frame does. But when inflated using an included hand pump—which can be left at home to further maximise your weight saving—the £35 pad helps transfer heavy loads on your back to your hips for increased comfort, prevents objects inside a lightweight pack from poking you, and in a pinch can even serve as a minimalist air mattress. And unlike a rigid frame, the Air Beam can flex along with a hiker so it keeps providing support even when they're in an awkward position like bending over to tie their boots, or pretending to play dead to fool a bear.

It was noted in the CHC Safety & Quality Summit article in the May 2012 issue (page 40) that the Sikorsky S-76 was specifically cited as "lacking in safety design requirements" in part because it does not have a crashworthy fuel system. I'm sure we all prefer to base our beliefs on facts instead of rules, so let's look at the numbers. About 800 S-76 helicopters have been delivered since 1978 and these aircraft have accumulated about six million flight hours.
During that period, the S-76 has experienced four post-crash fires in survivable accidents. In those four accidents no person was injured by fire. In other words, if the S-76 had been equipped with a heavy, expensive crashworthy fuel system since the first delivery, not one person would have been saved from being burned. The reason that the S-76 has had such a good track record is the use of a suction fuel system, something that has been standard practice at Sikorsky since the early 1970s. Suction fuel systems are also rare even in current helicopter designs. Why they are not mandated by rule and by the customer is beyond me. They work.

Frank Lombardi's June column ("A Couple of Things," page 44), credits gyroscopic precession as one of the phenomena positioning the rotor disc in cyclic control. The rotor system is a rotating system, so gyroscopic tendencies are present; but only to a very minor extent, existing hinge to hinge and insufficient to move the rotor disc.
The rotor system is not a rigid body due to hinging and/or blade flexibility so gyroscopic moments sufficient to move the disc can not be transmitted across the hub. Because such moments can not be transmitted across the hub, the rotor system can not react as a gyroscope.
Rotor disc attitude control is achieved through blade aerodynamics and flapping, and not gyroscopic precession.
Thanks for your great magazine. It contains a wealth of rotary wing info and news. I always read it and leave it in the ready room for other pilots and have done so for more than 30 years!

Chip, you are correct. I inaccurately credited gyroscopic precession when I described how the blades flap to a new position relative to the mast. As you said, it is aerodynamics that provide blade flapping. The phase lag, which most people attribute to gyroscopic precession, can be more correctly referred to as "aerodynamic precession."
It is the angular difference between the input lift force location and its perceived reaction, and the reason I mentioned as a source of acceleration cross-coupling. The lag angle is dictated by the ratio of how quickly the blade flaps up and down to how quickly it rotates.
This ratio is a function of hinge offset and air density, not angular momentum (i.e., gyro effects). The reference to the rotor acting like a gyro occurs quite often in text I believe, due to the fact that it is a rotating system that seems to exhibit the physical traits of one, and it is simpler for people to grasp the resulting motions. To be a purist, I must stand corrected.
I'm glad to see that Rotor & Wing has insightful readers who take time to provide us all with valuable feedback. It is always welcomed!

Visit Vocations Toronto at www.vocationstoronto.ca, a resourceful site in answering these questions.
The second reading today, from the Letter to the Philippians, reflects this reality in one of the first Christian hymns. This hymn tells us that Jesus was willing to stoop down to us, God becoming human, in order to reach to the very heart of our human condition, becoming even a slave for us. Having taken on our flesh, our very humanity, He redeems all of us by His death and resurrection.
The images for this in Christian art show us Christ descending to hell in order to free all who had died without Him. Then He ascends to heaven and takes us all with Him�and yet leaves us free to choose Him.
The account of Christ's Passion today, from the Gospel of Mark, gives us the human details of the final part of the life of Jesus, the details of His death. This death reflects the prophesy of Isaiah in the first reading: The Lord God is my help, therefore I am not disgraced; I have set my face like flint, knowing that I shall not be put to shame.
Come, let us worship the Lord, who has died so that we might live.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

I'm reading Street-Fighting Mathematics and not sure if I understand integral dimension analysis. The idea is to "guess" integrals without explicit calculation, by just looking at their dimensions.
It's been a good decade since I last touched integrals so please bear with me!
My answer to the problem is that dimension of $\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx$ depends on the dimension of the multiplication $f(x)*dx$, so while the integral sign is indeed dimensionless, if we have $f(x)$ being "length per second" and $x$ being "second" then the resulting integral will have "length" dimension.
But the author also tells that $e^{-\alpha x^2}$ is dimensionless and thus derives dimension formula for $\alpha$:
I don't understand why the $-\alpha x^2$ should be dimensionless. What if there's no $\alpha$ (or $\alpha=1$), in which case the exponent becomes $e^{-x^2}$ - will it have a dimension now? And if it won't, then why dimension of $\alpha$ should depend on the dimension of $x$ at all?
Also, a final question - if we accept that the only dimension which affects the integral in question is the dimension of $x$, then setting it to "length" means that the integral dimension is "length". But integrals compute areas, don't they? I think that in this case the integral $\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx$ will have a dimension of "length x 1" which is still area. Is this correct, is there a better explanation?

The wow factor: open house at the Albert Sherman Center
Eyes were wide. Faces animated. Subtle "oohs" and "wows" were heard as people from across campus streamed through the Albert Sherman Center (ASC) on Wednesday, Jan. 9, for their first look inside the new building.
An estimated 2,000 people attended the open house, seeing the newly finished public spaces on the first three floors of the building and the laboratories on the fourth floor.
"We're very pleased with the turnout, and people seem to be really excited about what they're seeing," said Shawn McGuinness, senior architect at UMMS and project manager who guided the ASC design team. "The public spaces will always be accessible, but once the researchers move in, the laboratories are restricted. So it was nice for the whole community to have a chance to see the new labs."
After the open house, the ASC will remain locked for several weeks and accessible only to facilities staff and the early occupants. The first research group is expected to begin moving in during the week of Jan. 14. It will take approximately five months to complete the move-in for all the research and education programs slated for the ASC. The public spaces of the building, including the new food service area and fitness center, are scheduled to open in the spring.
Watch a video that captures the excitement at the open house:

The Koreshan Unity Collection: An Inside Look into Processing a Large Archival Collection
What – or who – could convince over 200 individuals to exchange their comfortable lives for a celibate religious communal settlement in a remote corner of southwest Florida?
As we continue processing the papers of the Koreshan Unity, supported in part by grant funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), we learn more about the early members of this fascinating movement and its charismatic founder, Dr. Cyrus Teed.
A Utica, New York physician with interests in alchemy, physics and metaphysics, Teed conceived what would become known as Koreshanity in 1869 after experiencing a late-night religious vision in his laboratory. During what he called his "illumination," he saw a beautiful woman who revealed to him a series of universal truths which formed the fundamental principles of Koreshan belief (more on this in future posts). We can never be certain whether Teed's experience followed being knocked unconscious by an electrical shock, as some say, or a period of intense meditation, as others say.
Following his illumination, Teed began writing and speaking about his beliefs. He joined a Shaker community in 1878, then in 1880 founded a communal settlement in Moravia, New York. The community failed, as did a subsequent attempt in New York City. Teed's persuasive oratory finally enabled him to assemble a firm core of followers in Chicago in the late 1880s, incorporating his organization there as the College of Life in 1886. Teed assumed the name Koresh in 1891 and, a few years later, began moving his followers to Estero, Florida, where he intended to establish the "New Jerusalem."
As the Koreshan community grew and flourished in the early 1900s, tensions arose between the Unity and politicians and citizens of nearby Fort Myers, leading to a brawl on October 13, 1906, in which Teed was hit in the head and face several times. His health declined quickly following the fight, and he died on December 22, 1908.
Reincarnation was one of the truths revealed during Teed's illumination nearly 40 years earlier, and he and his followers expected that his death (and theirs) would be followed by physical resurrection and immortality. Among the thousands of photographic images in the Koreshan Unity collection are several glass negatives of the deceased Teed in the bath tub into which his followers placed him as they awaited his resurrection until, a week later, the Lee County health officer finally ordered the dismayed followers to bury the body.
In a final sad twist, the mausoleum in which Teed was finally buried washed to sea during an October 1921 hurricane; the body was never found.

Designer thoughts
Designer Ola Wihlborg"When I designed HEKTAR spotlight I was so inspired by the look that I designed a few more lamps. I was inspired by old factories and wanted to bring that feeling into the home. The large lamp shades in metal are contrasted by a glossy cream-coloured lining inside. This, together with the large details, is what creates the industrial feeling. Thanks to the large shades and light lining HEKTAR gives very good light, and a lot of it."

Driving A Hard Bargain
Medscape Today News yesterday published a video on the topic of teen drivers with autism. Entitled "Should Some Autistic Teens Drive?," the roughly four-minute piece features Dr. Flaura Koplin Winston of the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) discussing research on teen drivers and offering some suggestions in thinking about whether a teen with ASD should begin driving.
As the parent of two young adults who drive, I can attest to how hard it is to navigate this issue well. Getting a driver's license is a rite of passage in the US, viewed as the first step toward independence. For ASD families, it can be more than that—it can be an indicator of "normalcy." So an already complicated decision is often muddied by emotions. Autistic teens and young adults may have their own conflicting feelings about driving, from eagerness to severe anxiety. (Two of AA16's columnists, Benjamin Kellogg and John Scott Holman, have written about their decisions to postpone driving.) Neither of our sons was ready to drive at age 16, and so we waited. It wasn't a popular decision, nor a convenient one, believe me. But it was the right one for our kids.
My response to this video (and the embedded link to teendriversource.org) is that it's a terrific launching pad for families and professionals to start talking about ASD and driving. It's crucial for autistic teens and young adults and their parents/guardians to think carefully about driving readiness and to have honest conversations about how the decision to drive will be made. Having a conversation with your teen will tell you a great deal about how she views the process of learning to drive. Just because a teen can pass a driving test doesn't mean she's ready for the road. As the video points out, there are a number of challenges often specific to autism that may hinder the ability to drive safely. Thoughtful decision-making regarding readiness is crucial and could be life-saving. There's no shame in postponing or foregoing driving—for anyone.
While a great conversation-starter for families, this video is actually intended for physicians. Transition educators would do well to give it a look also. Parents frequently seek guidance from professionals about driving readiness for kids on the autism spectrum. So professionals in the position of dispensing this advice should have something thoughtful to say. While there's increasing research available regarding trends in driving among young people with autism—Winston references a CHOP study on characteristics of autistic teens who drive—much of it is descriptive, not prescriptive. That is, it tells us who's driving, but not what works in helping autistic teens become better drivers. It would be great if professionals would help families of potential drivers look at the issue carefully, neither dismissing driving as out of the question, nor assuming that intelligence predicts driving ability. Winston provides some solid ideas, such as adding driving preparation to IEPs, having the teen evaluated by an occupational therapist (check with your private insurance company for OT coverage), and hiring a professional driving coach. (I can personally attest to the value of a good professional driving coach. Well worth the expense.)
The one thing that concerns me in all of this is how policymakers are hearing this conversation as it appears more frequently in the press. The easy road for legislators will be to create blockades to driving for young people with ASD rather than mapping out avenues for the acquisition of greater driving skills. We all know bad driving can be deadly, and many people with autism shouldn't drive. But you don't have to have autism to be a bad driver. There's nothing wrong with increased rigor in evaluating who should be given a driver's license, but let's make sure we don't simply shine the light on people with autism. Plenty of conditions impact one's ability to drive. And since not driving can severely limit the ability to function as an adult in the community and often impacts employability, if we're going to hand out fewer driver's licenses, then let's do so with an eye toward more available and reliable public transportation.
Deciding when and how to move forward with driving lessons for a young person with autism can be difficult. I urge parents to take your time and engage in conversation with your teen before you feel forced to make a decision. I urge professionals to contribute to this dialogue with thoughtful advice that keeps the individual and specific family in mind and to help families access supportive services. And finally, for any teens reading this, please do not use your cell phone while driving. But do use it afterwards to let your mother know you arrived safely!

BRIDGEVIEW Ill. – Two former Fire players will square off against their former team on Wednesday night, including the man Chicago let go before the season in one of the most shocking personnel moves of the spring.
Goalkeeper Jon Busch is the man in question, dropped by the Fire just a week before the season began. He landed in San Jose, where he'll be the man in net as the Earthquakes look to inch closer to a postseason berth with a result against the Fire at Buck Shaw Stadium.
Busch was replaced in net first by backup Andrew Dykstra, who midway through the season gave way to rookie Sean Johnson.
"I like Busch and we're good friends," Fire veteran C.J. Brown said. "You miss a guy like that. But I think Sean and Andrew have done well for us. The goals that we're giving up aren't Sean or Andrew's fault.
"I think it was disappointing to lose [Busch] but I think Sean has developed and Andrew has developed also, so it's a good opportunity for them."
[inline_node:319435]Busch said this week he holds no grudges against Chicago about the move, but it certainly doesn't hurt that it's the Quakes on the verge of the postseason and the Fire needing points just to stay alive.
"I'm old enough to know that the only thing that matters is the result," Busch said. "It doesn't matter who it's against. I think maybe when I was younger, especially the first time I went to Columbus, it was tough for me. But now, it just is what it is.
"It's just another game and for us. If we get our three points, we're one step closer to the playoffs, and that's all we're concerned about. There's no old grudges."
Former Fire defender Tim Ward will also suit up against his old teammates after he was traded to San Jose in early August for a 2011 MLS SuperDraft pick. Ward has started seven games this season for the Earthquakes.

* Elmer's Gel Glue Batik Aprons
To celebrate our Elmer's Kids Craft Camp
we tried out another classic art teacher project,
batik dyeing with Elmer's Gel Glue
and acrylic paint on craft aprons.
This project was inspired by Gail at That Artist Woman blog.
Here's a link to her awesome gel glue batik pillow case project!
Start by "drawing" your design on your fabric
with Elmer's Gel Glue.
We worked on aprons but you could also use canvas bags, t-shirts, or pillow cases.
The glue will seep through the fabric a bit
so you'll want to put a piece of cardboard, newspaper,
or magazine underneath your project to protect the table.
Allow the gel glue to dry completely.
We let ours dry in the sun for several hours.
Then, paint over the designs with acrylic paint.
You can even water down the paint for a more liquid-y look.
Protect your work-surface area with cardboard,
newspapers, or similar underneath the painted fabric.
The painted aprons.
Allow the paint to dry completely before
starting the final step!
Now for the fun, magical part!
Fill your sink with warm/hot water
and soak the projects for 10-20 minutes.
The gel glue will dissolve, you can help it along
by rubbing the fabric together and agitating it a bit
to scrub off any excess glue.
Allow your wet projects to dry...
Enjoy your awesome batik!
This project is part of our two-week series
for the Elmer's Craft Camp giveaway!
This giveaway is now closed.

What is the height clearance needed to open Falcon doors in a garage?
What is the height clearance needed to open Falcon doors in a garage?
Check out the video it will answer a lot of questions. It will open in a standard garage. Check out the one in the picture.
7" clearance over what? A Roadster? An SUV?
7 feet = 210 cm. I don't think that is enough.
From pictures I estimate car height somewhere in range of 70 inch, falcon doors open up half the width of the roof which makes it something close to 25 inch 70+25= 95 = 237.5 cm make it 240cm to make it round number. One foot too much.
I have given this a lot of thought, because I do have the same issue with the garage door, but if the car is backed in, which is likely what I will do, then I should clear my garage door without problems.
The problem is not the door, but the roof. A 7' ceiling seems unusually low, though.
@jerryheld | FEBRUARY 19, 2013: The ceiling is higher but the limiting factor is the height of the garage door and garage door track which obviously must roll up under the ceiling. In my case, the ceiling is a standard 8 feet but with the track, operator and door taken into consideration, the clearance is only 7 feet.
Although I don't have a hight issue, I've changed my garage door installation from a track system to a direct drive system. It allows the garage door to be within 6" or less of the ceiling. I've posted about this in other threads. Here is a link to the system I use called a Jackshaft motor by LiftMaster (it mounts on the wall by the garage door):
It may be that the doors do not have to open to full height - if so, then full manual control and also the ability to preset 1 other height (so you don't have to check for clearance each time in the garage) would be helpful.
The Falcon doors open to the same height as a regular SUV lift-gate. No issues in a garage.
The picture on the model X page appears to be a standard 7 foot high garage door.
That pic makes me wonder how the aerodynamics are with the Falcon Wings lifted, ready to stoop.
In the shareholders meeting, Elon stated that the falcon doors will have proximity sensors, so they will stop just short of hitting anything.
I think it's brilliant !! I LOVE the falcon doors :-)

Anaconda Defeated by Grandpa
A 66-year-old Brazilian man wrestled with a 15-foot (5-metre) anaconda for nearly half an hour to free his grandson from the snake's crushing death grip, local media reported on Friday.
Brazilian pries grandson from anaconda death grip
SAO PAULO (Reuters) - A 66-year-old Brazilian man wrestled with a 15-foot (5-metre) anaconda for nearly half an hour to free his grandson from the snake's crushing death grip, local media reported on Friday.
Matheus Pereira de Araujo, 8, would likely be dead inside the belly of the 80 pound (35 kg) anaconda if his grandfather had not heard his screams for help, zoologists said.
Anacondas, the biggest snakes in the world, live in swamps and rivers. They kill prey by asphyxiation or drowning.
When the snake struck Araujo, who lives in the world's third largest metropolis of Sao Paulo, he was playing with a cousin on Wednesday in a creek bed on his grandfather's farm 310 miles (500 km) from the city in a town called Cosmorama.
"It was very fast. I didn't have time to do anything," the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper quoted Araujo as saying. "My grandfather is a hero -- I was so afraid of dying."
Joaquim Pereira was driving home when he heard the screams of Matheus and his cousin Flavio, 8, who ran to get help.
Pereira jumped into the ravine and grappled with the snake, which started coiling around him as well.
"I started fighting the animal and tried to loosen its grip on the boy's neck but the snake was too strong," Pereira told the Bom Dia newspaper of Sao Jose do Rio Preto.
Pereira then attacked it with stones and a machete.
"I kept hitting it with the machete but it felt like a rubber tyre, it wouldn't tear," he said.
He killed it after a long struggle to free the boy, who needed 21 stitches on his chest where the snake bit him.
"It was the most terrible scene that I've seen in my life," Pereira said. "It was totally coiled around him while he was screaming that he was dying."
Senator Eduardo Suplicy said Pereira should be honoured by the Brazilian government for heroism.

Soggy field conditions postpone game at Coliseum
Playing surface remained wet from steady rains; no makeup date announced
OAKLAND -- Friday night's game between the A's and Mariners at O.co Coliseum was postponed due to poor field conditions. No makeup date was announced, but both teams voted to not play a doubleheader on Saturday or Sunday, electing to reschedule the game for later this season.
There was a steady drizzle of rain early in the evening, but it stopped about an hour before the scheduled first pitch of 7:05 PT. After initially calling for a delay of 30-45 minutes, the game was canceled at about 7:15, despite a dry spell that was expected to last throughout the night.
The grounds crew worked to try to salvage the playing surface, which was in less-than-stellar shape after going uncovered Thursday night. There wasn't a lot of heavy rain pounding Oakland on Friday, but the showers were enough to cause problems with the field.
After speaking with an unnamed independent weather consultant, the A's decided to leave the field tarpless Thursday night.
"We had information last night that there was going to be a break in the storm," said David Rinetti, the A's vice president of stadium operations. "Because of that, we wanted to use that opportunity to help dry out the field. Unfortunately, we were wrong on the amount of rain."
Instead, the uncovered field became too soggy to play on after being soaked by about one-third of an inch of rain overnight. As the scheduled first pitch approached Friday, A's manager Bob Melvin, Mariners skipper Lloyd McClendon and the umpires inspected the field before deciding to call the game.
Though the infield and outfield grass were able to hold up against the water, the infield dirt didn't fare as well.
"I think everybody felt like it was at the point where we were concerned about being a little too soft," Melvin said.
Melvin already has been forced to do a bit of juggling with his pitching staff.
The A's and Indians had to cancel Tuesday's contest due to rain and play a doubleheader Wednesday, forcing Melvin to tab Triple-A pitcher Josh Lindblom for an emergency start. With the latest setback, the plan is to push Friday starter Dan Straily to Saturday, when he will face Mariners ace Felix Hernandez. Melvin said he doesn't know how this affects his pitching staff beyond that.
Following the postponement, crew chief Fieldin Culbreth told a pool reporter that it was a group decision to cancel the contest.
"Decisions like that, you want as many eyes and ears and brains working on it as possible so you can make the wisest decisions," Culbreth said, citing player health as the overriding concern. "In the end, I think the powers that be made the correct decision."
As for a future possible makeup date, the Mariners are set to travel to Oakland on May 5-7 and Sept. 1-3. For now, the field is expected to be fine for Saturday's matinee, which is still scheduled for 1:05 PT.
"We are doing everything possible to have the field ready to be played on tomorrow," Rinetti said.

Password protect or hide CD/DVD/HDD/Floppy drives
CD-DVD Lock - More Info
CD-DVD Lock
CD-DVD Lock is intended for restricting read or write access to removable media devices such as CD, DVD, floppy and flash, as well as for restricting access to certain partitions of hard disk drives. You can restrict access by two ways: hide your devices from viewing or lock access to them. You can gain access to your devices back by entering a valid password that only you know. Your data on your media are not going to be encrypted or altered in any way, therefore if you forget your password, you'll never lose your data stored on the protected media. Moreover, it works more faster than any other software using cryptooperation mechanisms. The main purpose of the program is to restrict an ability of copying data between removable media and hard disk drives as well as deny access to media itself. CD-DVD Lock will allow you avoid many of headaches connected with unauthorized software installations from any removable media, and also prevent data leak by removable media. Excellent on-line help is available. Try our password and security tools. Free downloads. If you need to download CD-DVD Lock for Windows NT4, please click here.
