The above instant is one link where a leather holster contributed to a negligent discharge.
From the original photos (in this thread) it looked like the leather was fitted excessively deep around the trigger to the point it is shaped around the trigger. Counting the little lever in the trigger as a last chance to save your ass, and not a full proof safety, I warned the original poster. Per their reply, they feel the holster is ok.
The Glock safety is the trigger. Never heard of a Glock firing unless the trigger is pulled or pushed against, but they fire reliably when the trigger is pulled. Therefore a good Glock holster provides a hard layer of protection around that trigger. Let that layer of protection get soft and close, and a number of things (heck maybe even your seat belt assembly) can apply pressure to the trigger and - boom.

So I had been walking over the carpet in my new Keds, and there I was in the middle brother's room. You know how when you are a kid, everyone slightly older than you looks decades older? Dave's older brother looked like he was 40 years old. He had a thick porno mustache and drove a Camero. On the waterbed was the family cat, a big white bastard bitch who eyed me suspiciously. I was just a few feet away from the dresser where about a million dice were sorted into various mason jars and beer mugs. I felt the cat's eyes on me, so I reached out and gave her a pat.
Well with my new shoes and that thick carpet, I had generated a ton of static electricity and shocked the hell out of that poor cat. It leaped into the air while simultaneously shredding my hand and arm with a frantic windmill attack.
I grabbed the die and tried to hold back my screams of pain. My hand was bloody.
The cat bolted into the den, where the older brother was smoking a Camel while watching an RCA videodisc of Excalibur. I tried to quietly shut the door behind me and get back out to the garage before the older brother appeared.
My friends hailed my safe return and I showed them my hand. I held a cold can of Shasta Cola against it and the game began. Had I been caught, the brother would have put me in a headlock and held that cigarette close enough to my skin until I yelped.
The Tomb of Horrors was nothing compared to that suburban Eichler of real terror that we endured.
My friends moved away and then I moved away, and I became more interested in girls and punk rock and skateboarding to care about D&D anymore. Although, a perpetual loner who spent lunch period in the library, I tore through those Dragonlance books. There was something very different about those novels than anything my friends and I played. There was a glossy sheen upon the overall aesthetic. One that hadn't been there before. When I looked through some of the 2nd Edition stuff when it hit the shelves, it didn't look like D&D at all. The new books felt like, well, they felt like school. They looked and felt like textbooks.
I played Palladium for a while, but that never possessed me to go out, buy graph paper and fresh black pens and pencils and create a vast ruined city that I would have done over and over in my earlier days. There was nothing about it that fired my imagination. It was much more structured than I was used to playing. The rules had a certain cumbersome quality to it. Like when we tried to play the Iron Crown games.
I played some of the White Wolf stuff too, but really, I only played those games to try and meet goth girls who were into gaming.
I don't know what it was, but when D&D 3rd edition came out, I was all over that shit. I spent a couple nights during the week playing with a group that met at a local pizza joint. I'd get off work, drink beer and eat pizza while tearing through the newly renovated Temple of Elemental Evil. I wrote a column about gaming for a local fanzine. When "Living Greyhawk" was launched, I went to hotel conference rooms and game shop back rooms and ran my character Eryon Longshadow through the fucking wringer in the dullsville Theocracy of the Pale. But I showed up, got my little slips of paper that represented my Amulet of the Phostwood and Masterwork Composite Bow, and kept them in a little binder.
But anyway, Eryon died. Killed on a double critical by an Orc battleaxe. Ah well. By this point I wanted to run my own games again. The desire for the "Old Edition Feel" with the new slick d20 rules had become very popular and all the new indie publishers that sprang up inspired me.
I submitted stories to Dragon and Dungeon (which were kindly rejected, but always with the encouragement to send more) and I started working on my first real module. By this stage in my life I had racked up quite a few unfinished novels and short stories that were perfect for scaling into adventures.
Escapism is hard to escape into long enough to create a lasting project. Family, college, work, life, all conspire against such creativity, but perhaps here on this blog I can dole some of my ideas out in bits and pieces.
Currently I am running a Labyrinth Lord campaign with three friends who weren't alive when I got my first D&D basic set. They're used to enormous books of feats and skills that control every aspect of every player's movement. What it's really about, and what has drawn me in, time and time again, is the "collaborative storytelling" aspect of role playing games. Breathing life into the backgrounds of those worlds we create together.

Politicians are notorious for campaign promises that are broken soon after the ballots have been cast but the 2020 Democrats are pushing the envelope when it comes to laying out a bountiful buffet of B.S. to attract gullible voters.
While the socialists are looking to seduce the younger generation with the siren song of free stuff, Utopian equality and the defeat of climate change before it kills us all in 12 years, former Vice President Joe Biden is vowing that if he is elected, that he will cure cancer.
Pushing back hard against rumors that his sporadic campaign appearances are a sign of declining health, lunch bucket Joe made a belated stop in the all-important state of Iowa where he harped incessantly about the “existential threat” to democracy represented by President Trump, flip-flopped on denial that China was a threat and promised to eradicate the most terrible disease of all.
Speaking to a crowd in the smallish city of Ottumwa, Floppy Joe invoked his son Beau, who was tragically cut down by brain cancer, and drew enthusiastic applause from the locals.
Me: Democrats promise tons of impossible hand-outs, but at least they've never fully jumped the shark and said they'd cure cancer…
Joe Biden: pic.twitter.com/24RU3nh3Xk
— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) June 12, 2019
Via The Washington Examiner, “Biden promises he’ll ‘cure cancer’ if elected president”:
Joe Biden told an audience in Ottumwa, Iowa Tuesday that his White House would “cure” cancer should he beat President Trump in 2020.
“I’ve worked so hard in my career, that I promise you, if I’m elected president you’re gonna see single most important thing that changes America, we’re gonna cure cancer,” Biden said to applause.
During his stint as vice president, Biden oversaw the “Cancer Moonshot” initiative of the Obama administration. During his final State of the Union address, Obama announced the program that resulted in a report outlining recommendations for funding and areas to focus research.
Biden recently blasted Trump for not doing enough to cure cancer although even if he did, he would still be savagely attacked by the media and the Democrats.
— Yahoo News (@YahooNews) April 10, 2019
Some will be quick to point out that Beltway Biden who falsely presents himself as the blue-collar worker’s best friend, has just tripped over his own tongue yet again and that his promise to cure cancer on his watch is going to come back to bite him in the rear end. Especially when added to the growing wish list that the geriatric swamp dweller will have to commit to in order to keep up with his opponents.
Such grandiose rhetoric may be as sweet as mother’s milk to the segment of the party base that invests an inordinate amount of time chasing unicorns as well as to those who either have cancer themselves or it afflicts their loved ones but it is both foolhardy and simplistic.
Former US Vice President Joe Biden promised that if he is elected president in 2020, the United States would cure cancer. https://t.co/lpLZKHnVkE
— HuffPost India (@HuffPostIndia) June 12, 2019
Even the ultra-liberal Huffington Post points out that lunchpail Joe is facing long odds of curing cancer:
The former vice president was speaking at a campaign event in Ottumwa, Iowa, when he made the bold — and extremely unlikely — campaign promise.
Biden has long made bold claims about the fight against cancer, and he announced his “Cancer Moonshot” campaign during former President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address.
As campaign promises go, the ambition of this one overlooks a lot of complexities of the disease — like, for example, the fact that “cancer” is actually more than 100 diseases and therefore not likely treatable with a single cure-all.
The frontrunner’s promise only seems to confirm that despite the aura of invincibility that the media has bestowed on him, that Biden will be easy pickings for a well-rested Trump once the old timer has had to fight his way through the socialists who will all be looking to destroy him in the primaries.

March 18, 2021 — Medicare coverage for CT lung cancer screening should be updated to reflect new eligibility thresholds issued by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and remove barriers that keep at-risk populations from accessing these exams, according to a coalition of physician and patient organizations.
In a letter to the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the American College of Radiology, the GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer, and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons asked for a revision of its national coverage determination (NCD) on CT lung cancer screening to include the expanded patient eligibility covered by the USPSTF guidance.
Among actions the group urged CMS to take are revising and lowering screening eligibility age to 50 years and smoking history criteria to 20 pack years and revise the “Counseling and Shared Decision Making” NCD criteria to ensure the current language and requirements do not act as barriers to screening uptake.
The USPSTF released an updated, final recommendation for CT lung cancer screening on March 9 that lowered the starting age from 55 to 50 and adjusted smoking history from 30 pack years to 20 pack years.

Newton-based WS Development has completed a property swap with the Archdiocese of Boston, selling a newly-completed chapel on Seaport Boulevard and acquiring a Northern Avenue site for a future office building.
The Seaport developer paid just under $18 million for Our Lady of Good Voyage chapel’s longtime property at 65 Northern Ave., where a 500,000-square-foot office building is planned. And the Archdiocese acquired the new chapel at Seaport Boulevard and Sleeper Street from WS for $7 million.
Ground was broken in November 2014 on the new 5,000-square-foot chapel designed by ADD/Stantec with nautical touches including a wooden ceiling resembling a ship’s hull.
The original chapel opened in 1952 to serve sailors and cargo ship workers. The previous Seaport Square master developer, Boston Global Investors, worked with Cardinal Sean O’Malley to identify a new home.
“We think (BGI CEO) John Hynes III deserves tremendous credit for shepherding this process through the years, and ultimately achieving an extraordinary outcome,” said Yanni Tsipis, a vice president at WS Development.
The first Catholic church built in Boston in 60 years, the new chapel’s first public Mass is scheduled for Sunday, according to a spokesperson.
WS acquired the Seaport Boulevard property from BGI in late 2015 as part of a 12.5-acre portfolio of approved building sites.
WS filed plans in February with the Boston Planning and Development Agency to increase the total amount of office development on the 12.5-acre site from 1.2 million to 2.9 million square feet and increase multifamily units from 2,500 to 3,200.
No groundbreaking date has been set but the office building at 65 Northern Ave. would be one of the first elements of the next phase of development, Tsipis said. The office building would contain 69,400 square feet of retail on two levels.
Deed restrictions on the 65 Northern Ave. property prohibit its use as a house of worship, a facility that provides abortions, assisted suicide or stem cell research, and as a school.

from Terry on 10.24.09
Its not the best but I like to use a 17 hmr & up so I can get the job done quick without fear of wounding one.
I have killed prob a half dozen yotes with my 10/22. It works fine, though most have been head shots or close ups. The farthest being about thirty yards.
You would probably be better off with a smaller centerfire rifle. A .22 might work if you hit it in the lungs and heart but you will deffidently kill it if you use something like a .223, .22-.250, or a .204 ruger. I have been hunting coyotes for a few years and i have killed them with a .223 with very badly placed shots and it still killed them.
if it is a 22 lr no it is not good. A 22 mag might work , but i would go with a 22-250 or a 223.
A .22 will kill a coyote but there are so many better guns to use instead. If you want to use a .22 thats fine but you wont be able to take long range shots that frequently present themselves in coyote hunting. If you are stuck on the .22 then I would suggest using a .22 magnum. Use hollow point bullets. I personally use a .22-.250 for coyotes and have been very pleased with it. It is a great all around varmint gun.
I agree with bigjake and pineywoods, if pushed into service the.22 could do the job at limited ranges and with proper placement. Knowing that it is not the rifle of choice suggests it would be more responsible to choose a centerfire rifle with more hitting power. Wounding an animal is not good. Any hunter should be pained to see it happen or their head is in the wrong place.
Ditto bigjake. Using a centerfire, you would be less likely to wound a coyote. The object is to kill them, not make them suffer. The .22 will work if the conditions are just right, but you can do better. I once killed a 200+ lb. hog with a .22 by shooting it in the earhole at 30 yards, but it was the only gun I had with me and not one I'd choose for hog hunting.
I really prefer a centerfire rifle over the weaker rimfire.The extra power, extended ranges and high fragmentation bullets kill much better than the rimfire, BUT, in a pinch a .22 will drop a yote but I'd keep ranges under 75yards and would use a hollowpoint bullet.As with most animals a heart/lung shot is the most ethical shot to take.

The student spotlight this week must be shone on Charlie Thornton.
The Year 10 student took a sweepstake of prizes at this year’s GFM Awards.
He was awarded the GFM Gosport Futures Leadership Award and the GFM Chief Executive Award.
Charlie said: “It is a big shock to have won. Out of so many students in the GFM, you think you don’t have a chance. I had no idea I would win. It was a big moment and my dad said he was really proud of me.
He added: “I had so many messages from teachers, I wasn’t expecting it all. It has put me in a good position to move on from bad past experiences and focus on the good.”
Charlie was nominated for the Leadership Award by his form tutor Tom Andrew-Power.
Mr Andrew-Power said: “I am delighted that Charlie has transformed beyond all recognition. He is a towering example of compassion, care for his peers and true leadership by example.”
Charlie won the award for his efforts supporting a Ukrainian student. He hosted online meetings, offered support and friendship and helped their true integration into school.
CEO Ian Potter chose Charlie as the ‘winner of the winners’.
Mr Potter said: “Charlie has demonstrated the capacity to change himself; to move from someone who was anxious about school to someone who is reaching out and supporting many others. He initially may have had to be led to now being a leader.”

A magnitude 6.3 aftershock struck southern Turkey Monday, killing at least three people and injuring hundreds more, according to Turkish and Syrian officials, two weeks after a massive earthquake killed tens of thousands of people in both countries.
The quake struck Turkey’s southern Hatay province, near the Syrian border, Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Agency (AFAD) said Monday.
The quake’s epicenter was in the province’s Defne district, Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said Monday, adding that there have been 26 aftershocks since.
Turkish officials say at least three people were killed and 294 people were injured following Monday’s aftershocks.
In northwest Syria, there have been more than 130 injuries, the White Helmets volunteer rescue group said Monday. The quake also led to the collapse of a number of buildings that were already hit by the previous earthquake.
“Our teams are working to take the injured to hospitals, inspect the affected villages and towns, and remove rubble to open the roads for the ambulances,” the White Helmets said.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) initially reported the quake as being of magnitude 6.4 at a depth of 10 kilometers before revising it down to 6.3 magnitude.
Officials have been urging the public to stay away from buildings. Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay earlier Monday asked the public “not to enter the damaged buildings, especially to take their belongings.”
Turkish Minister of Health Fahrettin Koca said on Twitter that 18 of the injured are in serious condition and were transported to Adana and Dörtyol. Field hospitals are continuing to provide services to other patients, he said.
“I wish for our injured, patients, local people and all the people of our country to get well soon. May Allah ease our pain with health and well-being, and protect us from new pains and worries,” Koca said.
The mayor of Samandag, near where the quake hit, said some buildings had collapsed and that the mood was one of panic following the AFAD warning.
CNN teams in Adana, Turkey felt the quake, as did eyewitnesses in Gaziantep and Mersin.
Monday’s earthquake follows a deadly magnitude 7.8 earthquake on February 6 that left more than 46,000 people dead in Turkey and Syria.
Families who were affected by the the earthquake two weeks ago told CNN of the terror caused by Monday’s tremors.
“We went back to our house and this shock happened again and we went out… may God help us,” said Zahir, who lives in a town between the cities of Iskenderun and Antakia, in Turkey’s Hatay province.
“We don’t know what to do today – today we will stay in the car and in the tent, we don’t know what will happen till tomorrow,” he told CNN.
On Sunday, Turkey’s disaster management authority said it had ended most search and rescue operations nearly two weeks after the earthquake struck as experts say the chances of survival for people trapped in the rubble this far into the disaster are unlikely.
Some efforts remain in the provinces of Kahramanmaraş and Hatay. On Saturday, a couple and their 12-year-old child were rescued in Hatay, 296 hours after the earthquake, state news agency Anadolu reported.
Efforts to retrieve survivors have been hampered by a cold winter spell across quake-stricken regions, while authorities grapple with the logistical challenges of transporting aid into northwestern Syria amid an acute humanitarian crisis compounded by years of political strife.
Turkey is no stranger to strong earthquakes, as it is situated along tectonic plate boundaries. Seven quakes with magnitude 7.0 or greater have struck the country in the past 25 years – but the one on February 6 was the most powerful and deadly.
Monday’s quake is considered an aftershock as it is in the same general region and lower than the original 7.8 magnitude earthquake.
According to the USGS, “Aftershocks become less frequent with time, although they can continue for days, weeks, months, or even years for a very large mainshock.”
This story has been updated with new information from USGS.

NASA plan for new moon rocket includes foam from shuttle
Published 6:21 pm Friday, August 4, 2006
Engineers designing the new U.S. moon rocket said Thursday they plan to cover part of it with the same type of foam that doomed Columbia and has been a problem throughout the space shuttle program.
The dense, brittle foam will likely fall off the new rocket just like it has from the shuttle’s external fuel tank, they said. However, NASA doesn’t expect it to pose any safety concerns.
Used as insulation for tanks that hold super-cold rocket fuels, foam has been falling off the shuttle’s huge, orange tank since the earliest flights.
A piece of foam the size of a briefcase hit one of Columbia’s wings during liftoff in 2003, causing a hole that resulted in the orbiter burning up on re-entry and killing seven astronauts. Foam also came off during the subsequent flight of Discovery.
Part of the new manned rocket, called Ares I, will include a section similar to the shuttle external tank. So it, too, needs the foam, according to upper stage project manager Danny Davis.
Unlike on the shuttle, astronauts will ride in a six-person capsule that sits atop the rocket. That means any falling foam won’t hit the crew compartment, said Don Krupp, chief of the vehicle analysis branch at Marshall Space Flight Center.
“This is a different application,” Krupp said. “If we have any foam debris it falls away from the astronauts. They’re ahead of it.”
Davis said engineers working on Ares assume that the spacecraft will shed foam.
“But it just won’t matter,” he said.
Davis and Krupp were among the NASA managers who met with reporters during an open house for the media at Marshall, which manages the shuttle’s rockets and is designing propulsion systems for the new lunar spacecraft.
Built in stages, Ares I will be stacked atop of a single solid-rocket booster larger than the ones that lift the shuttle into orbit. The cargo-lifting Ares V will use five liquid-fuel engines attached to a tank similar to the one used for the shuttle.
Engineers developed the Apollo spacecraft in the 1960s using slide rules and handmade models, but Ares is being designed on computers. Engineers can test their ideas on virtual models, letting them know quickly which designs won’t work.
Ares will fly higher and faster than the space shuttle during the moments right after launch, making it subject to more stress. With a cylindrical design, it won’t have the shuttle’s wings, tail or delicate heat-shielding tiles.
That difference should mean the new rocket is less suspectible to launch delays because of bad weather at Cape Canaveral, Krupp said.
“We are trying to design this vehicle to fly in any weather,” he said. “Our goal is to not let weather constrain our launch window.”
The Ares rocket will include concepts used in both the Apollo and shuttle programs, but Krupp said every piece that goes into the new spacecraft will be tested like it was brand new.
“I do not want to have another Challenger or Columbia on my watch. We do no want to lose another astronaut,” he said.

In 2010, Parenthèses Records released Peter Knight & Dung Nguyen’s duo collaboration RESIDUAL seeing the pair developing unique approaches to combining Vietnamese and Western music elements in a contemporary setting.
At the start of 2014, Alexis Courtin from PR and Peter Knight discussed their shared desire to give the album a second life and thus asked a carefully chosen list of musicians from France and Australia to present their personal perspectives on Residual. The result is this amazing album that comes as a FREE download, blurring the boundaries between abstract ambient, repetitive experimental music and groove-based textures.
From LENA (aka Mathias Delplanque, France, Bruit Clair Records)’s proto dubby techno, Tilman Robinson’s abstract ambient, Joe Talia’s subtle electronica, Black Sifichi (France)’s unmistakable voice and post-musique concrète edit to Dan West ’s minimal groove, Residual was given the most refined homage.

Recorded over a weekend at a beach house overlooking the sea in Safety Bay - an idyllic and relaxed setting to record about twelve hours of raw material - the album testifies of the vivid interactions between plucked strings and winds, the rhythmic drive that propels the music and the coalescing of traditional influences with the improvisational energy of jazz.
As with all previous PR releases, Swiss-born visual artist Tom Mùller once again designed the beautiful digipak format, while the Daramad logo was conceptualised by Reza Mirzaei.

SINGAPORE – The world’s only island city-state, Singapore, will host the 8th leg of the 2017/2018 World Rugby HSBC 7s series this weekend. This leg is a bit later than last year as there was a 3 week break for the Commonwealth games, making this leg the home stretch to finish the series. There is no better place for the party than Sinkers.
The USA’s showing in the last tournament, Hong Kong, was good and shows the USA finding a way to consistently make the Cup playoffs, positioning they will need to replicate if they hope to jump from sixth to fourth. If the @Eagles7s finish fourth it will be the first time ever in the program’s history.
Let’s look at the 3 key issues going into this tournament:
Team changes (+/-): There have been 2.5 changes to the USA side since Hong Kong. Malon Al-Jibooricomes on as Maka Unufe recovers from a knock taken in Hong Kong. Playmaker and hearbeat of the team, Folau Niua, is suffering from fatigue and was ruled out, so Cody Melphy will go in his place. The 13th man on the tour will be debutant Tala Talapusi.
Need a new heart: He may not show up in the stat sheet, but Folau Niua is the most important guy on the USA squad. He is usually playing scrum half or flyhalf on attack and sweepr on the defense. He creates space in attack and helps stop tries on defense. Adding to his workload this season has been the injury to Madison Hughes, meaning Niua is out on the pitch longer as the main play setter. The freakish ability of Maka Unufe has been a relief to Niua, except that Unufe has also had struggles stay fit this season. Niua has been the team’s talisman, so replacing him won’t be easy. A new team talisman will need to be found for this leg.
We are not sure who will step-up but somebody needs to.
Dig Deep: We have no idea who will be the person that steps up to make a difference, but if the USA is to make the Cup Playoffs then someone will. The ability to adjust and overcome has to be found.
Optimist’s View: The Eagles will finish 7th. This may seem low but all things considered it will be an achievement.
Cynic’s View: The Eagles will lose in the Challenge Trophy final. I just don’t see them making the Cup playoffs but playing better on day 2.
My View: I actually side with the Cynic’s View. The team is wounded and I think they are in for a poor first day and maybe a decent second day.
SINGAPORE 7s (#SgRugby7s ):
South Africa and Fiji are in a very tight battle for the World 7s Series title, separated by just 3 points. Meanwhile the battle for 4th place has four teams separated by seven points, including the USA. The tension and pressure has just cranked up and, as they say, pressure can either bust pipes or make diamonds.
Some team will become a diamond under this strain.
Here are our pool previews:
Fiji will win this group running away. Spain are the favorites to come in second though they could face a scare from Russia who can be unpredictable. Russia is still a better bet than Japan to finish third.
Kenya will have its hands full trying to win this group as this is the group of death. England will fight them for the top spot without a doubt, if the good England shows up. In addition, there is a French side that will have some momentum from a good Hong Kong Tournament. This means that the USA will struggle on Day 1 to find its feet.
South Africa has the best chance of winning this group. However, Argentina have made the cup playoffs the last two rounds, so they will be dangerous. Canada are still rebuilding, so they are hard to predict. The unpredictable Samoans will likely be last – unless they bring their title-winning Samoa mentality and cause some upsets.
New Zealand will likely win a narrow one against the Australia to win the group. Scotland should win third and Wales will likely finish fourth as they are the least talented team in this tough group.
Finally, here are my predictions for the playoffs and the team that will win promotion to core status:
Second: New Zealand
Third: South Africa
Challenge Trophy: France

Enterprise to add Macs
Enterprise Desktop Alliance has announced a the results of a recent survey, indicating that 74-percent of 314 companies expect to increase the number of Macs within the organizations. Fewer than two percent of the respondents said they would be reducing the number of Apple computers. The survey also reported that productivity gains and employee preference are the main reasons enterprises are adopting Macs. Lower cost of ownership is also playing an important role in Mac growth. Of the IT administrators who responded, almost 60 percent manage 100 or more Macs in a wide range of enterprise-class companies.
Shuffle adapter announced
Dexim has announced its Shu-Lip charger for the iPod shuffle 3G. The device provides a USB 2.0 connector on one end and a headphone jack on the other, allowing a USB-to-iPod connection for both charging and syncing the newly announced iPod, but without a cord between separating the two ends. The new charger features an aluminum casing designed to match the aesthetics of the Shuffle.
Copy/paste in iPhone 3.0
Digg founder Kevin Rose today "confirmed" that a Apple will implement a version of the much-anticipated "copy & paste" function in iPhone v3.0 (expected to debut next week at Apple's Townhall Event), but said that Apple was not expected to support background apps or processes. The "confirmation", which came in a Diggnation podcast recorded at SxSW in Austin, said that users will be able to "double click" a word to bring up a magnifying glass with two sets of quotes that users can drag forward or background and then click on copy or cut. Rose also claims that it brings a number of other features to bring the iPhone up to par with the Palm Pre, but did not include application multitasking or video (claiming the latter was due to a technical problem with writing to NAND memory too many times/too fast, but that it would come in future releases).
Chelsio adds Mac support
Chelsio Communications has added Mac support to its line of 10-gigabit Ethernet adapters. The new NIC drivers work with the company's Unified Wire products which pass Fibre Channel, InfiniBand and LAN traffic across a single Ethernet cable. The devices are geared for server networking, storage networking and clustering. Mac support for Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI), offloaded iSCSI initiator and iWARP RDMA will be added later this year.
AT&T upgrades 3G network
Apple's iPhone continues to push the limits of AT&T 3G network in the US with the company telling Silicon Alley Insider that it is frantically adding is adding wireless capacity in downtown Austin, Texas to deal with "unprecedented" demand by the South by South West (SxSW) conference on Web 2.0 trends and music. The publication claims that users are experiencing "flaky at best" service throughoug the area as thousands -- or even tens of thousands -- bring their iPhone 3G to Austin. AT&T said that it expects service to improve as early as Sunday night and to continue throughout the rest of the show.

“Enterprise users are catching onto something many already recognize — regular software updates and feature improvements mean Apple products get better with age,” Jonny Evans writes for Computerworld. “This dependable future upgrade path is a huge advantage for Apple in the enterprise.”
“Apple planned for this when it began to use subscription accounting in April 2007,” Evans writes. “You see, while most of us were distracted by the iPhone launch, the company was already planning the next iPhone.”
“The move to adopt this form of accounting was because Apple wanted to deliver free software updates for its devices. Apple recognized that most users of existing mobile devices didn’t upgrade them regularly. It hoped that by delivering powerful updates for free, it would be able to motivate users to upgrade,” Evans writes. “It’s why the iPhone 8 will be a better smartphone when iOS 12 ships in fall, it’s why Apple Watch will be smarter; and it’s why iPads will become even more productive… This matters.

Original wall color & first attempt
I had a specific blue in mind to match some chairs I had purchased from Overstock - see post here. So I went at it again to try and match the blue the second time around. I started with Buoyant Blue that looked a shade lighter than the chairs and it turned out perfect (note to self, always go lighter than you think because it looks darker on the wall).
|Sherwin Williams Paint Color|
Next, rather than sponging the gold paint on all over, I decided to use a fleur de lis stencil available from Home Depot (in store) and sponge champagne metallic paint randomly across the wall with that. It took a long time but I love the result and it drastically changed our kitchen!
Last, to add a little personal touch, I used another stencil from Joann's and wrote "Welcome To Our Home" in french above the archway from the kitchen to living room. (Please excuse the lipstick stains on my iphone camera lens). Total project cost = $96.19 for the whole kitchen.

Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen on Monday lashed out at Merriam-Webster after the dictionary company updated the definition of "anti-vaxxer."
A spokesperson for Merriam-Webster told USA Today that one word was changed to clarify that anti-vaxxers oppose "regulations" mandating vaccines as well as "laws."
"The reason for the change from 'laws' to 'regulations' is that overwhelming citational evidence shows that this term is used regarding vaccine policies for school districts, restaurants, concert venues and bars, and that many of these policies are not laws,", Merriam-Webster Editor-at-large Peter Sokolowski explained.
Fox News host Dana Perino asked Thiessen about the changes during an interview on Fox News.
“There is a new definition in Merriam-Webster’s dictionary," Perino said. "This is not a joke, folks. a change of the definition of an anti-vaxxer to a person who opposes the use of vaccines or regulations mandating vaccinations. You are a wordsmith. I know that having worked with you in the past. This makes no sense.”
“No, it doesn’t," Thiessen agreed. "Who appointed Merriam-Webster? I didn’t realize they were public health experts to decide what is the definition of an anti-vaxxer.”

The ocean glows blue at night
Image: Erik Jepsen
In May 2018, ocean waves lit up aqua blue at night. The cause was a red tide, or algal bloom, off the coast of San Diego. The ocean waves agitated dinoflagellates in the water, causing a bioluminescent display at the surface.
According to Scripps, the last bioluminescent phenomena was in 2013 and the observable occurrence can last a few days to an entire month.

This is simply gorgeous. I had a craving for prawns and spied a mound of gorgeous mangoes in the shop and had one in my bag before I knew it. Once home I realised I had avocados that needed eating, and simply put the three together with chilli and salad and created a dish I am going to love for a long time. Simple, yes, but simply delicious.
700g (about 1½ lb) king prawns (see Recipe Notes) 2 Tbsp olive oil Flaky sea salt 1 large medium-hot chilli, thinly sliced 1 large clove garlic, peeled and thinly sliced 1 large perfectly ripe mango (see Recipe Notes) 2 perfectly ripe avocados 6-8 cups rocket (arugula) or small salad leaves ½ cup small basil leaves 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 For the prawns, if they are frozen, thaw them quickly in a sealed plastic bag in a sink of warm water. Twist off the heads and remove the shells. Split down the rounded back of each prawn with a sharp knife and remove any darkish veins. Rinse thoroughly, drain, then pat dry. Mix in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of oil.
2 Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium-large frying pan (skillet) over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot add the prawns and cook on both sides until browned. Season with a little salt. Lower heat to medium. Add chilli and garlic to the pan and cook for a few minutes, stirring 2-3 times, until garlic has coloured a little. Tip contents of pan onto a plate, scraping in all the bits and pieces. Cool.
3 Peel mango, slice off the cheeks and remaining flesh. Cut into small dice. Transfer to a large bowl. Halve avocados, remove stones and peel. Dice flesh and add to bowl with mango. Sprinkle with a little sea salt. Add rocket or salad leaves (tear into bite-sized pieces if large) and basil leaves. Whisk extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and a pinch of salt together with a fork and pour over salad greens. Gently toss everything together with two large spoons taking care not to crush the avocado or mango.
4 Add prawns and all the oily bits and gently toss together. Serve immediately in bamboo cones, or small bowls.
If you follow Shared Kitchen on a regular basis you will know how I feel about prawns. There are no bargains to be had with prawns! Cheap prawns are cheap for a reason. Cheap prawns are often raised in a perpetually recycled tank of chemical ‘soup’ to produce the biggest, fleshiest prawns in as short a time as possible. Australia produces superb prawns, and that’s what I recommend using in this part of the world. To help you make up your mind, please read about prawns here Prawns and updated notes here Prawns
While I am praising Australia’s prawns, I’ll have a wee bleat about Australian mangoes. They are without a doubt the most fabulous mangoes in the world. Highly perfumed, with a dense velvety-textured luscious intense-tasting flesh. And they’re so large! Unfortunately, they are irradiated before they travel to this country. Dang! But, if you can get your head around that, they are simply the best and worth heading over the ditch for! And what happens after a food shoot?

no new weeds
today's garden tip comes courtesy of another garden i have the pleasure to work in and learn from. a magnificently peaceful earth space where i get to spend hours at a time, a few days per week, meditatively pulling weeds from beds of kale, herbs, lettuce, hydrangeas, etc. naturally, as i uproot all sorts of plants from their would-be abodes, i can't help but think of topics i want to write about. so i guess it's sort of fitting that i'm writing about the very thing i'm working with... weeds.
and what exactly is a weed? well. i'm not talking about that weed. this is about weed weeds. difficult to name individually, because most experienced gardeners will tell you that a weed is merely a plant growing somewhere that you don't want it to. so, any and every plant has the capability of being a weed. though, i admit, some way more than others.
let's face it, plants are the original survivors. because the biggest dinosaurs (land animals, for that matter) ever to have roamed the earth, were herbivores. and what's still with us today? just saying... plants are gonna make it. the most innocent appearing of 'em will wreak havoc on your garden, unless you're paying attention. it'll be out there singing like destiny's child - all in the name of living another day, and/or geologic period. meanwhile, spreading roots far and wide so that you and generations that follow you, never, ever, ever obliterate them.
which brings me to an issue we're currently facing in the aforementioned garden... being overrun by mint. yes. mint. as in tea, mint. folks who know, know that mint can be crazy invasive. if it ends up in the ground anywhere in your garden, it will be everywhere in your garden, before you can harvest your first cup. which is why most gardeners, save the few mint farmers out there, only grow it in containers.
and while mint works wonders as an effective natural pesticide and lends a certain freshness to the air; it will do this while also sucking the very life out of all the rest of your plants, if you're not careful. which is why when introducing new plants purchased or given from others, it's important to keep the plant quarantined for a minute or two. and by quarantined, i mean, keep it potted - whether in the container in which it came, or in a new container - it must stay out of your garden!!! if you are tossing the old soil, this won't apply. but. you also don't want to toss unchecked soil into your compost, unless you are absolutely sure of what you are adding to your pile.
i cannot stress the importance of quarantining enough, because you don't know what's in the soil that came with your new plant. anything... i mean, anything could be lurking in there (including, but not limited to, fungal diseases), and if you don't take the time to observe what comes up, your garden can be overrun with plants so invasive, you'll find yourself resorting to poisonous methods to stop the spread. effectively killing off important microbes in the soil and much of your garden in the process, for years to come. yes... years.
unobserved transplanted soil is how we believe the current crop of invasive mint found "home" in the garden. and mint is only one of the problems we have (or could) encounter from not being diligent before planting. there's good ol' morning glory - which we've almost gotten under control, but has roots that extend some twenty-odd feet beneath the soil. which are nearly impossible to remove without resorting to violent 'pesticidical' methods... i said nearly. there's also a grass called nutsedge, which fortunately, we don't have, but another garden i've worked in became overrun by it after bringing home a few plants from a local nursery and planting them immediately. and then there's the possibility of fire ants... not in any of "my" gardens, but in those of folks i know... which are all preventable by a good ol' quarantine.
and so. always, always, always follow the first rule of permaculture when introducing new plants into your garden - observe. watch. wait. be patient. identify any unwanted plants hitchhiking in the soil of new plants before putting them in the ground. do your best to remove them from the container - carefully pulling all the way to the root. you're probably safe to place your plant in the ground when you no longer see growth from the undesirables.
otherwise, prepare to spend hours at a time, a few days per week, meditatively pulling mint (or whatever's brewing beneath the surface) from just about everywhere in your garden. bah!

Ittu Si Baat Story:
Bittu Shukla (debutant Bhupendra Jadawat
), a small-town simpleton and aspiring cricketer, harbours a massive crush since childhood on Sapna (debutante Gayatri Bhardwaj
). When Bittu learns his true-love's desires, he goes to great lengths to make them come true.Ittu Si Baat Review:
Our protagonist Bittu is a firm believer in the adage that 'Love is not give and take. Love is give and give.' Sapna is his childhood sweetheart, but their relationship is one-sided because he hasn't expressed his feelings to her. And Bittu is the type of aashiq
who will go to great lengths to fulfill Sapna’s wishes; also involves buying her an iPhone for her birthday.
Surprisingly, Sapna declares that anyone who can buy her an iPhone qualifies to be her boyfriend, and Bittu devises a plan to win her heart. By inserting some fancy requests, the story does not become an extraordinary modern-day love story; rather, it is old wine served in an old bottle.
However, the film's charm lies in its simplicity in depicting the intensity of one's first love, which is set in a small hamlet near Varanasi called Chunar. Directed by debutante Adnan Ali
, who has also written the story of the film, ‘Ittu Si Baat’ is a sweet and mushy love story that will warm your heart. Kamal Shukla's screenplay is a mix of romance, drama, and humour, making this small-town slice-of-life story relatable. The pace is unrushed until this one-sided love angle becomes a triangle when Vicky Sharma ( Priyansh Jora
) enters the picture. Vicky, the owner of a gadget shop, is the local stud who can impress any girl, but he has his sights set on Sapna. This leads to a squabble between Bittu and Vicky, and Sapna has to choose between a simple guy like Bittu, who is timid to proclaim his love for her and a dashing and slightly wealthy Vicky, who's a stark contrast.
Newcomer Bhupendra Jadawat did well as lover boy Bittu, who thrives in the scenes where he plays cricket, but falls short in portraying his character's emotional vulnerabilities. For instance, when he laments and confides in front of his daadi ( Farida Jalal
), he fails to strike a chord. They do, however, have some adorable scenes together. Gayatri Bhardwaj makes a confident debut as Sapna, an innocent young woman who doesn't comprehend people or their malicious intentions, but she knows what's best for her future. As the girl next door, she is promising and well-cast. Priyansh Jora's character is the polar opposite of Bittu, and he portrays it well.
The songs by Vishal Mishra are soulful; especially ‘Gulabi’ and ‘Darbadar’ which are hummable. Varanasi's setting adds rustic flavour and realism to the story.
Despite the fact that the plot of 'Ittu si Baat' is predictable from the beginning, this old-school love tale has enough charms to appeal to the audience.


A couple of posts ago I mentioned that I would be doing a track day where we (Tiernan and I) would be bringing both his GTIs to the track for a showdown.
The Black GTI is a minimal build with cheap coil-overs, Federal ST1 tires (300TW), and a CARB-legal tune.
The Red GTI is a track build with KW Clubsport coil-overs ($3000), Yokohoma A048 tires (60 TW), and a CARB-illegal tune. In addition it has a bunch of trick parts like limited slip differential, adjustable camber plates, tubular control arms, tubular subframe, big brake kit, and who knows what other stuff.
If you watch Donut Media, this is like their hi-lo series where they build two cars, one with top-of-the-line parts and the other with stuff sourced from eBay. Although Tiernan doesn’t write those episodes, he actually does write Donut Media content, and if you’ve watched their channel in the last year, you’ve surely seen one of his scripts in action. No, this has nothing to do with anything on YSAR other than me name-dropping to say I know someone who writes shit watched by millions of idiots. It’s a low bar for sure, but it’s all I’ve got man.
The day started out cold (40F) and remained rather cool (60F). The conditions were clear with no wind. The nearby hills were all green and in the distance some of the higher hills had snow on them. It was a little cold for my taste, but otherwise a beautiful day.
The event was hosted by SpeedSF at Thunderhill West. On the East side there was a Hooked on Driving event. The two organizations attract really different clientele. HoD is older, whiter, and richer. Another interesting difference is that HoD allows Lemons cars while SSF does not. I find this really strange because the Lemons cars that show up to HoD events tend to be in better condition than the low-end cars at SSF events. Honestly, you could shake up the ratty cars between the two and it would be hard to tell the difference.
Looking around at the SpeedSF paddock, there was a large variety of vehicles. My count wasn’t exact, but here are the most popular cars.
- Miata – There were about an equal number of NA, NB, NC, and ND. Lots of people are still tracking Miatas at SSF (not so at the HoD paddock though).
- 86 – I think most of the 86s were first generation, but there were a few of the new ones. There was even an AE86.
- S2000 – There were loads of them!
- Porsche – Mostly 911 but some Caymans. I didn’t see any Boxsters or 944s.
- BMW – There were 3-series from E36 to current M2 (well not 3-series but close enough). No E30s though. Of note, there was a 328ix Touring. Pretty cool seeing a true wagon on track.
- Lexus IS – There were a couple IS300s but also ISF and maybe other things I don’t recognize well.
- GTI – There were 3 GTIs, including the 2 we brought.
- Supra – There were at least 2 of the new ones.
- Lotus – I think both were Elises.
- Camaro – I think there were 2, and at least one was a ZL1.
- MR2 – A turbo SW20 and a swapped MR-S.
- Maclaren – There were 2, but I don’t know the models.
- Other notable cars include: RX8, C7, Tesla, Alfa C4, Evo IX.
- There weren’t many FWD vehicles: Veloster N, Civic Type R, Fiesta ST, Civic sedan. I think the only FWD non-turbo was the Civic sedan.
I shot video using my DIY headrest camera mount.
This works okay if you remember to bring your RAM arm. Luckily I found someone willing to lend me one for the day. Thanks Ed! He was driving this Lotus. Does any car say “track weapon” louder than this?
When I got in the Black GTI to drive, I was reminded that I helped modify the throttle pedal to improve heel-toe shifting. It worked okay for the most part except that the brake pedal travel was a bit too long. The car needs a brake job as the pedal was soft and there was no initial bite.
In the video below, I do a trio of laps in the 1:34s. My 1.9L Z3 on the same model of tire is a couple tenths faster.
Other than the overly long braking zones, I found the Black GTI to be a fun track car. As it is set up, the handling is pretty neutral. This particular car has done over 20 track events with only minimal maintenance. I think that speaks to the robustness of the platform.
If you wanted to build this car today, it would cost about $4500. A quick check of Craigslist shows that the average asking price for a Mk4 GTI is $3500. Assume you bargain the seller down to $3000. Then add $500 for suspension, $350 for tune, $450 for tires, and $200 for brake pads.
Sorry, I don’t have video of the Red GTI. The handling is a little better. The brakes are a lot better. The engine pulls better initially and then not. There was something wrong with the tune. If I revved the motor past 5500, there was a very good chance it would enter some kind of safety setting and completely cut throttle for 3 seconds. Driving the car was frustrating because it was a constant battle against the fuel cutoff. Short-shifting everywhere helped, but there were some places where it seemed I would run into the fuel cutoff no matter what I did. I ended up coasting through some sections to try to trick the system into behaving better. The fastest lap I did was a 1:34.22 (one tenth faster than the Black GTI).
So who wins this shootout, Black or Red? In my mind, Black. It had the same performance for a lot less money. OK, so the Red GTI was hobbled by an engine problem. But the Black GTI was handicapped with shitty tires and soft brakes. I have to judge the cars as driven, and if was going back to the track, I’d take the Black GTI.
Now let’s imagine the Black GTI gets a brake refresh and the Red GTI gets its engine sorted. Which one is the winner? I think the Black GTI wins again. You don’t need to do much to a Mk4 GTI to make it a fun and capable track car. If you want to throw money at a car, get something else. What if you find a fully prepped Red GTI for less money than it took to build your Black GTI? Well, I guess you buy it, and that’s why Tiernan has 2 GTIs.
I’m not sure what’s going on in Tiernan’s mind. Is he selling one? I’d say only he knows, but I’m not sure he does. What would you do with two GTIs?
Here’s what I’d do. Turn the Red GTI into a rally car. Throw some rally suspension and tires on that and let the LSD do its thang in the dirt. Swap the KW Clubsports and sticky rubber on Black GTI to make it even better on track.

9/1/1887 - 9/1/1981
S.C.H. "Sammy Davis" was already a familiar figure at racing circuits and a seasoned driver when he was invited to partner Dudley "Benjy" Benjafield for the 1926 Le Mans race in Bentley No7. Caught out by rain and failing brakes that year he skidded the car into a sandbank. But he more than made up in 1927 when he again partnered Benjy in the same car, which Benjy had meanwhile bought from Bentley Motors and which was now referred to by its two drivers as "old No 7". The drivers gained the first Bentley Le Mans win in two years and the first of a run of four successive victories. The win has become legendary in the annals of 1920s motor-racing. At the end of the first lap the 4Â½ litre of was so far ahead, there was nothing else in sight. The race continued into the night, when the leading 4Â½ litre Bentley came fast through White House corner and hit a French Theophile Schneider. It was immediately followed into the ditch by the two 3 litre Bentleys and another French car. Against all odds, Sammy saved Old No7 (now No3) from terminal damage by slewing the car sideways into the wreckage of the other cars. The Davis/Benjafield car survived and managed to limp back to the pits, wheel buckled, frame bent, headlamp, wing and running board smashed. Lashing the car together with wire and string, it eventually restarted and gradually started gaining on the leading Aries. Old No7 was fourth after the crash but Davis pushed the car up to second and Benjafield then harried the leading Aries until with less than an hour to go, the Aries engine blew, and after 18Â½ hours of epic driving the Bentley took the flag to win the 1927 Le Mans. With typical modesty Benjafield had handed over the car to Davis for the final few victory laps. The press coverage was tremendous and The Autocar gave a huge dinner at the Savoy to celebrate, with the winning Bentley being driven in as surprise guest of honour. Sammy Davis went on to many more victories, achieving two BRDC Gold Stars for the outstanding British driver of 1929 and 1930 in international motor races.

Media Prima's subsidiary the New Straits Times Press Malaysia (NSTP) and Hong Leong Industries (HLI) are selling their entire stakes in Malaysian Newsprint Industries (MNI), which is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sale of newsprint, to Asia Honour Hong Kong.
NSTP is selling its 21.36% stake in MNI for RM14.15 million, while HLI which owns 33.65% of the company is selling its stake for RM22.3 million. According to the bursa filings, the sale will allow Media Prima and HLI Group to recoup part of their investments in MNI.
Last August, news of MNI winding up broke, with Media Prima and HLI announcing that MNI could not continue its business as it had been operating under “very difficult market conditions, especially declining newsprint demand, and has incurred losses for the past three years".
Incorporated in Malaysia on 4 August 1976, MNI has two other shareholders, namely the Rimbunan Hijau Group, one of Malaysia’s largest multi-industry companies which owns an 11.34% stake and Norske Skog, one of the world’s largest producer of publication paper owning 33.65% stake. Rimbunan Hijau Group is controlled by Sarawak billionaire Tan Sri Tiong Hiew King.
MNI which operates a newsprint mill in Pahang’s Mentakab, is also the largest supplier for Media Chinese International, which published the Chinese newspapers such as Sin Chew Daily and Nanyang Siang Pau.
