Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) rolled out what it’s calling its first all All-in-One mobile PC, the HP Envy Rove20, which the vendor positioned as freeing the desktop PC from the desk, undoubtedly because it looks and operates like a hinged, ultra-oversized tablet and is priced for the value-conscious customer.
At the HP blog, The Next Bench, the Rove20 was described as looking “like a larger-than-life-sized tablet,” but not quite suitable for playing pinball. The unit is chief among a bevy of new, reasonably priced, touch-enabled, Windows 8-equipped Pavilion and Envy laptops the vendor is unwrapping to flesh out its portfolio.
The Rove20, which won’t begin selling until July at a still undetermined price, converts from an upright position to lying flat on a tabletop by using a hydraulic hinge, enabling it also to occupy a variety of angles, according to HP. The unit is powered by a 4th generation Intel (INTC) Core processor, runs Windows 8 apps, features a 20-inch 1,600x900 IPS LED display for wide viewing angles, offers Intel HD graphics, 10-point touch and a built-in battery that lasts about 3.5 hours. It weighs in at a hefty 12 pounds.
HP did not provide an abundance of details on the Rove20 and is said to be waiting until closer to launch to list its full complement of features. One tidbit it did let out, however, is a new promotion for buyers of HP Envy or Spectre PCs for 50GB of free cloud storage through Box.net, available only in the Americas. A Box.net app is included on every new Envy or Spectre PC.
HP also rolled out two traditional All-in-One PCs, the Pavilion 20 TouchSmart and the Pavilion 23 TouchSmart aimed at value-driven customers. The latter unit features a 23-inch diagonal full HD display. The Pavilion 23 TouchSmart is slated to be available on June 5, priced at $749.99, while the Pavilion 20 TouchSmart is slated to go on sale in the United States June 26 at $619.99.
In addition, the vendor unveiled the Pavilion 11 TouchSmart notebook, running Windows 8 and featuring an 11.6-inch, 10-point capacitive touch screen, positioning it as the most affordable HP touch-enabled notebook. It is planned to go on sale in the United States June 26 priced at $399. The HP Pavilion 14 TouchSmart Sleekbook, yet another value unit, is slated to be available in the United States June 26, priced at $479.99.
HP also offered two new printers, the Envy 4500 and 5530 e-All-in-Ones, which offer mobile printing solutions via HP wireless direct and HP ePrint. The Envy 4500 e-All-in-One are scheduled to be available in the United States June 17, priced at $99, while the Envy 5530 e-All-in-One is slated to go on sale July 1 at $129.

I just watched the movie Julie & Julia and just as Julia Child was inspired by the food in France, I believe that you can truly learn to appreciate food by tasting it at the source. If Julia had not lived in France, she may never have been so passionate about French food and shared that joy with those of us in the US.
I have friends who traveled to Jamaica yearly and they brought back with them a love for jerk seasoning. They in turn infected me with their passion and now with Air Jamaica's special airfares, we can all eat jerk in Jamaica. With fares starting at only $184 from New York, or $128 from Ft. Lauderdale, you can literally fly in to eat. You must book by August 11 and fly between September 6 - October 31, 2009, but those are really the only restrictions.
Of course you don't have to come back right away if you don't want to because you have great options at some of the high end resorts on the island to indulge your senses along with your palate. The Half Moon luxury resort has a fourth night free package which works out to $188 per night (code FNFS09), or if you stay 14 or more nights you get 5 nights free (code SSS09). The resort is on a mile long white sand beach, has 51 swimming pools, 13 tennis courts, an 18 hole golf course, an equestrian center, and a dolphin lagoon!
If you prefer the Ritz-Carlton, they are offering savings on spa services, free golf, free breakfast, and free nights for up to 43% off the regular room rates.
Don't be a jerk, go eat some!

Anger sparked again after horse on Istanbul’s Princes’ Islands collapses
Anger has been sparked once again over the poor condition of horses used to pull carriages on Istanbul’s Büyükada, the largest of the Princes’ Islands, after footage emerged of a horse that had collapsed and fallen to the ground in exhaustion.
Footage of the injured horse went viral on social media over the weekend, sparking condemnation from the public and fresh calls to ban the use of horses on Büyükada, where they are often kept in shocking conditions by owners who use them for tourists visiting the island.
Around 1,500 horses are used for transportation purposes on the Princes’ Islands, where vehicular traffic is banned. They are particularly popular among day-tripping tourists visiting the island.
Despite the widely condemned poor condition of the horses on Büyükada, there are no treatment centers on the island and there are no works underway to keep the hundreds of badly treated horses healthy, daily Cumhuriyet reported on April 24.
The horses used to pull carriages in places like the Princes’ Islands have an average life expectancy of just two years, rather than the average 20 years for healthy horses, according to a report from an animal rights group, news website Bianet reported in May 2017.
“The approximate life expectancy for horses is 20 years. But the life expectancy of horses used with carriages [on Büyükada] is just two years after they start working,” said Elif Narin, an activist from the “Don’t Ride Phaetons, Horses Are Dying” initiative.
The Animal Rights Watch Committee (HAKİM) issued a report last year about the state of horses used with carriages in Turkey, stating that 1,540 horses are being worked on 272 carriages on the Princes’ Islands, 230 of which are on Büyükada.
Some 400 horses die due to accidents or squalid conditions every year, the report stated, also stressing that horses are being used with carriages in popular tourist destinations such as İzmir, Antalya and Kuşadası.
“The number of 400 is just the number of dead horses buried by the municipality. But we know that a number of injured horses are also left to their fate in the forests. A number of horse corpses have been observed in the sea too. We estimate that 700 to 800 horses die every year,” she said.
“We have also heard a number of incidents in which injured horses are thrown from boats. We cannot know if these are genuine reports, but we have seen pictures of dead horses lying on the seabed,” Narin added.
It is unnatural for horses to run on steep hills like those on Büyükada, she stressed, adding that many horses also die from overeating.
“If they run after eating and drinking, they can experience ‘cracking.’ So they instead sometimes run without food and water. This is very distressing … Pregnant horses are also sometimes worked to run on the island,” she said.
Narin noted that the management of horse carriages has been monopolized and operating a carriage is now “like acquiring a license plate for a taxi.”
Electric carriages are often suggested as a possible alternative to horse carriages on the Princes’ Islands, and Narin also voiced support for this proposal.


Most people know the small town of Bunyola in the foothills of the Tramuntana mountain range for its proximity to the gardens of Alfàbia, the manor house of Raixa, or Son Amar, the country estate that does a Mallorcan imitation of a Las Vegas show.
Some others will know Bunyola for the Hospital Joan March, an establishment founded by that ominous Mallorcan character, Joan March Ordinas, him of the Banca March fame and sometimes refered to as The last pirate of the Mediterranean.
The hospital specializes in tricky cases that other Mallorcan hospitals do not want to bother with, such as patients with psychiatric problems, drug or alcohol related addictions, or those unfortunate souls with terminal illnesses. Quite a number of patients are known not to come back alive, once they are admitted into this Bunyolan hospital, shown above. Bless their souls.

HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) – Newspapers, including the Hartford Courant, owned by Tribune Publishing, are weighing after the company was taken over by Alden Global Capital.
In a joint statement, the newspaper guilds said:
“… The shareholders of Tribune Publishing voted to put profit and greed on local news in our country.
While we are saddened by this turn of events, we know that our work over the past year – to build allies in the community and raise awareness about Alden – has not been in vain. These allies will support us in our fight against Alden to protect local news and the cuts they will inevitably try to make.
We are ready, willing and able to fight. “
Tribune Publishing announced the sale on Friday.
The deal is expected to be finalized on May 25.
“Today’s results represent an important milestone in the completion of the transaction, and we appreciate the strong support we have received from Tribune shareholders,” said Philip Franklin, Chairman of the Board and member of the Special Committee, in a statement.
Just over eighty percent of non-Alden shareholders voted in favor of the merger.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Alden’s affiliates will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Tribune stock that are not already owned by Alden.
Upon completion of the transaction, Tribune will become a private company and its ordinary shares will not be listed on any public market.

The Mercedes-Benz C160 is the new entry-level model in the C-Class lineup. It is powered by one of the smallest engines in the Mercedes range: a turbocharged 1.5-litre inline-4.
And the Mercedes-Benz C160 offers a unique proposition: It is the only Cat A rear-wheel-drive model in its segment, if not in Singapore.
But as the “base” variant, does the C160 still offer enough of the expected “Mercedes” traits expected by buyers? Does it have decent performance? Can it deliver a cossetting ride?
And as the entry-level variant, has its equipment level been pared down?
Our colleagues from sgCarMart take the C160 for a spin to find out all these and more. Will they conclude that the C160 is a “will buy”, “go try” or “won’t buy”?
Watch and find out!

Expect delays as the ferry Wenatchee has been taken off the Bainbridge-Seattle route for a few days after hitting a dock.
CORRECTION: Due to an editing error, a previous version of this story incorrectly stated that ferry trips on Friday were canceled. In fact, no trips had been canceled on Friday.
The ferry Wenatchee has been taken off the Bainbridge-Seattle route for a few days after hitting the Bainbridge dock Thursday.
On Friday, officials warned commuters to expect delays as replacement vessels, which carry fewer cars, were moved into place.
Several trips were canceled Thursday afternoon and evening as Washington State Ferries scrambled.

The Wenatchee was traveling at 3½ mph when it struck the dock because of a propulsion failure, said spokesman Ian Sterling of Washington State Ferries.
Ferry captains will customarily slow a coasting vessel by starting engines in reverse moments before they arrive.
At first glance there was no damage to the ferry or the dock, he said, but dents were found above the Wenatchee’s water line. Out of “an abundance of caution,” inspections are needed underwater, to be done by divers on Thursday, Sterling said.
And the cause of the propulsion failure must also be found, and possible repairs carried out, he said.
“It will be a matter of at least days,” Sterling said.
No injuries were reported.
The Bainbridge-Seattle crossing serves 6.3 million passengers a year, half of whom walk or bike on board.

Crawl Space Vents – Open or Closed?
Have you ever wondered why there are vents on the side of your house that access your crawl space? Or if they should stay open or closed?
Open vents allow hot, humid air into your crawl space, which can cause the growth of mold and mildew when it meets the cool air ducts underneath your house. Closed vents mean you aren’t letting humidity in, but you are trapping stale air. The answer to this dilemma is to condition your crawl space.
Sealing your crawl space from the outdoor elements allows your air condition to function at its best. Probuilder.com says, “… the same air-distribution rules apply in a closed crawlspace as they do to the living spaces above it: a controlled amount of incoming fresh air balanced by a controlled amount of exhaust air, with a measure of humidity control. If you need perimeter drainage, a sump system, and/or radon mitigation, just do whatever [would be] proper for a basement.”
So What Is the Best Solution for Crawl Space Vents?
We believe the answer is to condition your crawl space. Conditioning scrawl space works better than crawl spaces vents in terms of health, safety, and efficiency. Conditioning your crawlspace will improve its performance by reducing the levels of hot humid air from outside that meets the cool damp underneath of your house. This is what can cause the growth of mold, mildew, and condensation on your vents.
As fall is approaching, you may think that you’re in the clear with your crawl space, but as the weather turns cooler, additional problems will arise when the cold air from outside meets the already damp space, causing your home’s heating unit to perform badly. When you condition your crawl space, you are helping the life of your heating and cooling unit.
Let Us Help You Prevent Potential Crawl Space Problems

Sorry for the delay guys and dolls, it’s been quite a day, I’ve just recently finished watching today’s film and right now I’m writing this review. Why is that? Because I’m going away! Yes, once again I’m travelling to the south of my country, to Valdivia to be more exact, and there I shall be tweeting and writing about the movies I’ll be seeing at the Valdivia International Film Festival. I shall still be doing these posts (to the best of my habilities). So, a new batch of films is set to appear in our incredible journey, the Frankenstein Hammer series of films! A few years ago I managed to see all the Dracula Hammer films thanks to James Rolfe’s Cinemassacre’s Monster Madness, and this year I can watch the Frankensteins! Here you can watch his video review of the first installment, ‘The Curse of Frankenstein’ (1957) and you can read my review down below.
The original Frankenstein films done under the Universal brand and under the direction of James Whale are among the best horror films ever made, with a masterful approach towards cinematic horror, the films manage to put the horror before anything else, with great visuals and amazing acting from Boris Karloff as the silent brute creature. I was looking forward to compare them to this first (and following) films of the Hammer Frankenstein series, in particular with this one, that is so particularly well regarded by most horror aficionados. So, what happened? I freaking loved this movie from beginning to end, it’s one of those rare ones that have a lot of talking, a lot of exposition, very little of the creature, and still it manages to get its point forward, creating a sensation of dread and a place in which we could stay and live in, a world created in the mind of Doctor Victor Frankenstein.
The movie starts with jail and the impending execution of Frankenstein. A priest comes to hear him speak, trying to put the word out that he didn’t do anything that was charged guilty of. He tells the story in a wonderful fashion, as the film leads us to a build up of his personal character, first by being a lonely kid with the whole baron for himself, then finding a tutor for his learning, the man that would later be his partner in science in the discoveries of reviving dead tissue (the first ressurrected being is a cute small puppy). Now, the only thing that I truly miss in this movie is the reasoning behind the sudden madness of Frankenstein, something that is explained as a simple change of character due to stress and the fact that he was keen on doing something revolutionary to the rest of the world. Maybe it’s hinted (very lightly) that it’s because both his mother and father died when he was very young, thus having a responsability with being the Baron from a very young age, and thus, being damaged and wanting to find the way to ressurrect the dead.
Now, his logic here is a bit faulty, but the steps he makes are wonderful, when he decides that the next logical step is a creature made by stiching up parts from the best possible parts, as to make a wonderful being: the body of a huge criminal that was hanged by the side of a muddy street, the arms of a famous sculptor and maybe the greatest scene of the film, the way he gets the brain, by killing the best doctor of physics in the world at the moment… he was invited to the house of Frankenstein, only to be thrown from a high altitude and then have his brain put out. I love the build up that this film has, it’s just near the 50 minute mark when we finally see the fully realized creature in the exceptional makeup and the wonderful acting chops of Christopher Lee. Some say that the film kinda fails a bit from here on forward, but I possibly can’t see why, the movie just keeps on going with the exploits of the creature and the way that is demonstrated in an assured way that Frankenstein is a master at what he does, even though the creature is shot when runs away, he manages to operate the brain and make it even better than before!
I leave for last what is the most perfect thing in the whole film: Peter Cushing. Peter Cushing might as well be the best actor I’ve ever seen perform in a horror film in my entire life, he’s just the master at everything that he does, his antics as Van Helsing were impressive, but here he just manages to put forward this seething evil that grows and grows at every second that the movie goes forward. At first we see him as a desperate man in the jail cell, then we see his knowledge grow, as well as his confidence, and then slowly we see the cruelty and anger fill his eyes as the movie draws nearer and nearer to a close. And then, the ending, he’s just mad, his eyes look the part, it feels real, it hurts a lot to see how no one seems to believe what he says. It’s a really sad film with very sad consecuences, but at the same time a lot of fun, mainly because of the great performance by Cushing. Just remembering some of the lines give me some chills down my spine, like “I’ll get it”, when he refers to the brain that he has to find.
This film is wonderful, there’s no other way around it, the cinematography is amazing and at times truly breathtaking, specially when you see how efficiently it was directed, having a great amount of intelligence towards what it needs to be shown and what doesn’t. The ending still seems a bit rushed, but it has some great imagery and moments. For being the first real horror film done in the Hammer studios, this one is an auspicious start, and of course a great jump start to a series of films that we shall be reviewing and seeing in the next few days.

Use an E85 flex fuel kit to convert your Jeep Wrangler to run on E85 fuel.
E85 is a biofuel made from 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. It can be used in vehicles that are designed to run on E85 fuel, such as the Jeep Wrangler. E85 fuel is less expensive than regular gasoline, and it burns cleaner, making it a good choice for drivers who are looking to save money and help the environment.
To use E85 fuel in your Jeep Wrangler, you will need to purchase an E85 fuel kit. The kit includes an E85 fuel pump, an E85 fuel line, and an E85 fuel tank. You will also need to purchase an E85-compatible engine. The kit will come with instructions on how to install the pump and fuel line. Once you have installed the kit, you will be able to fill up your Jeep Wrangler with E85 fuel.
How Do You Put E85 In A Jeep Wrangler?
You can’t put e85 in a jeep wrangler.
If you own a Jeep Wrangler, you may be wondering if you can put E85 gasoline in it. E85 is a fuel that is made up of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. It can be used in vehicles that are Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV). Jeep Wranglers that are model year 2007 or newer can be FFVs.
To see if your Jeep Wrangler is an FFV, look for a yellow gas cap or a sticker on the inside of the fuel door that says the vehicle can use E85. If your Jeep Wrangler is not an FFV, you should not use E85 gasoline in it because it can damage the engine.
If your Jeep Wrangler is an FFV, here are the steps to put E85 gasoline in it:
1. Park your Jeep Wrangler in a well-ventilated area.
2. Open the fuel door and unscrew the gas cap.
3. Insert the nozzle of the E85 pump into the filler neck and make sure it is clicked into place.
4. Squeeze the trigger of the pump to start the flow of E85.
5. Fill up the tank and screw the gas cap back on.
6. Wash your hands with soap and water to get rid of any gasoline that may be on them.
7. Close the fuel door.
You should now have E85 gasoline in your Jeep Wrangler.
How Much E85 Can You Put In A Jeep Wrangler?
You can put up to 85% e85 in a jeep wrangler.
If you own a Jeep Wrangler, you may be wondering how much e85 you can put in it. Here is a step-by-step explanation, as well as a real-life example.
E85 is a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. It can be used in flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs), which are designed to run on either E85 or gasoline.
If you have an FFV, you can fill up your Jeep Wrangler with E85 without any problems. In fact, you may even get better gas mileage with E85 than with gasoline.
However, if your Jeep Wrangler is not an FFV, you should not put E85 in it. Doing so could damage your engine.
So, how much E85 can you put in a Jeep Wrangler? If your Jeep Wrangler is an FFV, you can fill it up with E85. If it is not an FFV, you should not put any E85 in it.
How Often Do You Have To Put E85 In A Jeep Wrangler?
You have to put e85 in a jeep wrangler every time you fill up the tank.
If you own a Jeep Wrangler, you may be wondering how often you need to put E85 in it. E85 is a flex fuel, meaning it can be used in gasoline or diesel engines. It is also a renewable fuel, made from corn, soybeans, and other plant materials.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when using E85 in your Jeep Wrangler:
-E85 has a lower octane level than regular gasoline, so it may cause your engine to run a little rougher.
-You will need to fill up your tank more often when using E85, as it has a lower fuel economy than regular gasoline.
-E85 is more corrosive than gasoline, so it may cause your fuel system to degrade more quickly.
-E85 may not be available at all gas stations, so you will need to plan your fill-ups accordingly.
Overall, using E85 in your Jeep Wrangler is a personal decision. If you are looking for a renewable fuel option that is also a little cheaper than regular gasoline, then E85 may be a good choice for you. Just be aware of the potential downsides and plan accordingly.
How Does E85 Affect A Jeep Wrangler?
E85 does not affect a jeep wrangler.
E85 is a renewable fuel made from corn, and it can have a big impact on your Jeep Wrangler. Here’s how:
1. E85 is a cleaner burning fuel than gasoline, so it’s better for the environment.
2. E85 can increase your Jeep’s horsepower and torque, giving you a little boost on the road.
3. E85 can improve your Jeep’s fuel economy, meaning you’ll save money at the pump.
4. E85 is available at many gas stations across the country, so you shouldn’t have trouble finding it.
If you’re looking to be more environmentally friendly and save some money, switch to E85 in your Jeep Wrangler. You won’t be disappointed.
Is It Safe To Put E85 In A Jeep Wrangler?
Yes, it is safe to put e85 in a jeep wrangler.
If you’re considering using e85 fuel in your Jeep Wrangler, you may be wondering if it’s safe to do so. Here’s a quick overview of e85 and its safety.
E85 is a type of fuel that is made up of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. It can be used in flex-fuel vehicles that are specially designed to run on this type of fuel.
In terms of safety, e85 is no different than regular gasoline. However, there are a few things to keep in mind if you’re planning on using this type of fuel in your Wrangler.
First, e85 has a lower octane rating than gasoline, so it may cause your engine to knock or ping. If this happens, you may need to adjust the timing of your engine.
Second, e85 can damage rubber seals and gaskets in your engine. If you’re using this type of fuel, it’s important to check your engine regularly for leaks.
Third, e85 can reduce your fuel economy. This is because it takes more energy to produce ethanol than it does to produce gasoline.
Overall, e85 is safe to use in a Jeep Wrangler. However, there are a few things to keep in mind in order to avoid any potential problems. If you have any questions, be sure to consult with a qualified mechanic before using this type of fuel in your vehicle.

Tension is achieved by the rear spring. Remove needle bar and holding
machine in left hand by the tube, depress armature bar with left thumb and ease it upwards until contacts meet. There should be enough tension so you can see the front spring rise a
little more when contacts meet and you release your thumb - then you’ve got it right. You can buy a gauge from a tattoo supply house to duplicate this same tension when you replace the rear
When coils are set where you want them, add a drop of liquid thread to the machine screws the last time you turn them in. This will assure a secure and tight fit. This can also be done with the two
screws that hold the posts.
If you choose to wind your own coils, use #24 insulated magnet wire and a hand turned coil winder. Use a point file to keep points clean.
Once the machine is just right, never make any further adjustments. The more it’s run and the older it gets, the better it will function.
On the left side of the machine you will see where the wire from both coils are soldered together. Squeeze some G.E. Silicone rubber into this area to prevent bare wire from short
circuiting on frame. As a matter of fact, it’s a good idea to do this all around between the base of coils and base of frame to prevent moisture from entering coils. Use a toothpick to smooth.
While the machine is running, there will be continuous arcing. Most machines come equipped with capacitors to eliminate arcing and cut down on point wear. If you put them on yourself, use one that is
25 volts and 10 MFD. This isn’t critical and you may want to experiment with different ones.
Tips On Assembling Tattoo Machines
If the tube is tight in the frame jaws, the slot gap will have to be widened. This can be done by dismantling the machine and clamping the frame in a vice and sawing through the
gap with two fine tooth hack saw blades. Screw the coils to the frame base and use a straight edge to see whether the centers of the coil cores are in a direct line with the center of the tube hole
and the center of the spring hanger. If one or both are slightly off center, loosen screw and insert a thin piece of copper shim on the low side under core. Tighten screw and see how it looks; you
may have to shift shim several times to get it right.
When the machine is running, the armature bar strikes the front core of the first coil, but must not be allowed to touch the rear core. If it does, file a bit off the rear core surface.
Whenever filing, first mark the surface with Prussian blue (available at art supply shops) so you will see just what you have done and where you are going. Afterwards, remove filings with a Q-tip
dipped in glycerine. On some frames, it’s necessary to remove coil to file.
Also, on most machines, you can move the spring-hanger slightly from side-to-side or back-and-forth a bit. Clamp the frame base in a vice and grasp spring-hanger with vice-grips and
bend gently. Armature bar can be lowered slightly by filing surface of spring hanger, which you will have to do after you bend it in order to level the surface.
If points don’t meet to make a perfect contact, you can move side-arm in or out and on most machines fore or aft a bit - be sure the base is tightly gripped in vice when doing this. The significance
of this is that shading machines perform better with longer fore and aft springs - even 1/8 of an inch can make a remarkable difference.
Trouble with ink in your tattoo machine
If you are having trouble with ink splattering out your tube tip, there could be several reasons for it. A slight splattering is normal. Sometimes it is caused by ink overloading.
The reservoir on some bottom ends doesn’t allow for much ink. A square tip is more prone to splattering than a round one. Some lighter frames tend to splatter more than others. Check the tube tips
for wear, change them before they wear down to a sharp edge. A machine that is properly tuned and used puts the ink out uniformly and rarely splatters.
By paying attention to these points, you will most likely eliminate any problem:
First, make sure your needle is in the tube right with the needle on the bottom side of the tip. Make sure the open side of the needle bar loop is to your left when it is attached to the armature
Second, make sure the needle bar isn’t hitting the side of the tube as it goes up and down.
Third, make sure the rubber bands are all in good shape and are all pulling evenly. Pull them away from the needle bar one at a time and snap them back into place. Check them to be sure they aren’t
weak or worn. It doesn’t hurt to replace your rubber bands every 15 or 20 hours of tattoo time. They don’t cost much and if they aren’t doing their job properly, you can really tax
your brain trying to figure out why it’s splattering.
Fourth, make sure your points are properly set. Fifth, look at your tube tips. If they are worn, you will get splatter. Take out the needle and look inside the tip. If there is a groove where the
needle rides, file it smooth again. Be very careful not to file away any more of the metal then you have to. The tip is made of soft metal and it’s easy to get carried away. Be careful, a little at a
time. On liner tips there will be one groove. On shader tips there will be several separate grooves, like railroad tracks. On the round tips, use a round Swiss needle file to smooth it back out. On
flat shader tips and your one needle liner tip, use a square Swiss needle file. If you have to file a tip to get it to stop splattering, be sure to clean it out good with a brush. Sterilize it before
you use it again.
The splattering could come from one or all of the above. If one thing doesn’t work, try something else, until you figure it out.
If none of the above worked, change the needle bar to see if that helps.
If that doesn’t work, check the springs and replace them if necessary. Sometimes one side of a spring will break where it’s being held by the screw. It’s hard to spot.
The hard part is, if it starts splattering in the middle of a tattoo, you have to be able to figure it out, or continue with a splattering machine. This will take a lot longer to do
if you don’t know what’s going on and your nerves will be shot from anxiety dealing with it.
Problems with your Tattoo Machine
If you are going along and all of a sudden your machine quits, first check to see if it is your machine or your power pack. To do this, try your other machine to see if it will work. If it is your
machine and you can’t fix it on the spot, you can always put your needle bar and tube on your other machine and reset the point gap as a last resort to finish the tattoo.
If your machine won’t run at all, it is either a short or an open in your circuit. First check to make sure your points are clean. If there is something caught between them, it will
break the circuit. Hold the armature bar down with your thumb to open the contact and blow hard on the points. If this doesn’t clean them, try pulling a small strip of paper through the points while
they are closed. If this doesn’t work, try pulling a strip of emery cloth through them, grit side up, then grit side down. Then blow to get any grit out. If this works, you will probably want to
readjust the point setting slightly to get it buzzing “just right” again.
Another area that shouldn’t be overlooked is weak coils. If your machine won’t run at all, or has very little power, it could be your coils. If your coils are bad, you can replace
them by taking out the two screws in the bottom of the frame, being careful to note which washers go where, under the coils. Replace with new coils. When you melt the solder to disconnect the old
coils, reattach your new coil wires at the same time. If your machine has a capacitor on it, you may want to replace it too, at the same time.
If your machine just up and quits on you all at once, or won’t run when you take it out, look for any loose or broken wires or connections. The tattoo machine is really quite simple, with few
adjustments and fewer moving parts. Due to the constant vibration of the machine, you have to constantly fool with it, readjusting and tightening this and that. Daily maintenance is
The good running of the tattoo machine
carefully to the buzz of your machine. You might have to turn the contact screw in or out just a little until you get that right sound. It should sound real smooth. Listen carefully to the sound of
the machine as you turn the contact screw and you will be able to “hear” the ideal setting if you pay attention. It won’t be choppy and clatter, yet it will have plenty of power and
have a long enough stroke to allow the needle bar to travel between 1/16 and 3/32 inch up and down.
Once you get used to the “purr” that it makes when it is running good, you will be able to keep your points set at optimum efficiency quickly and easily just by hearing it. When
it begins to “purr,” take your foot off the pedal and tighten the set screw to lock the contact screw in that position. Then push the foot pedal again to be sure that it is still tuned “right” and
doesn’t need any further adjustment.
After you attach the tube and needle bar, you may have to readjust the point gap slightly to compensate for the extra weight. If so, loosen the set screw and push down on the pedal as you screw
the contact screw down a tiny bit more, listening to the sound of the machine until it is running smoothly and strongly. Just remember that the smoother your machine runs, the better
it will tattoo for you.
Circuit Points of the machines
As you keep the foot pedal pushed down, slowly turn the contact screw down to meet
the contact point. Your machine will start to run when the contacts get close enough together to make a circuit. A general rule of thumb is that the gap between the shader points
when you push down on the armature bar is the thickness of a nickel. The gap between the points on the liner should be about the thickness of a dime. Nickel shader, dime liner. This distance will
change slightly with each machine and with the shape the springs are in. If they are weak, you can compensate by turning down the contact screw a bit, not too much. This measure has to be done with
the machine off and the armature bar held in the down position. On a machine with heavy-duty coils, this measurement may be doubled. Another way to do it, is to eyeball the distance
the armature bar is travelling, as the machine runs, while you adjust the contact screw. When the distance the armature bar is travelling up and down is about the same distance as a dime or a nickel,
depending on which machine you are tuning at the time, then you are right.
The contact point of the machine
Next, line up the contact point in a direct line over the nipple
on the armature bar and tighten. Then line up the contact point on the front spring in a direct line with the contact screw. The rear spring should be snug against the rear screw in most cases.
Tighten rear screw. The contact screw points to One o’clock, when you hold up the machine and point the front (tube end) to your left. It is in this position when it is new, and should stay in this
Attach the clip cord to your machine and turn on your power pack. Holding the machine firmly in your left hand by the frame, slowly turn the contact screw down (clockwise) to meet
the contact point on the front spring. Be careful to only touch the contact screw by the rubber tip or it will shock you. If the rubber tip is missing, you can wrap a piece of electrical tape around
the end, or even a rubber band in an emergency.
Setting tattoo machines. Continue..
After continued use, the front spring that holds the contact point and the back spring that holds the armature bar to the frame will weaken and should be replaced. If your coloring is getting
sketchy, it could be weak springs; one or both of them. If they are weak, they won’t have enough bounce to penetrate the skin anymore and are springing back before any depth is attained. Before
removing spring and armature bar, put a mark on the side of the armature bar and continue the mark across the center of the washer on top of the front coil. (See Diagram.) After you have made your
repairs, be sure both marks line up when replacing the armature bar. This is important because the armature bar has been seated in on the top of the front coil and should go back in the exact same
place for top performance of your machine.
To replace the springs, take needle and bands off, loosen the set screw on the front binding post and back the contact screw out four or five turns. Then loosen the rear screw on top of the machine
and remove the entire assembly consisting of the rear spring, the armature bar and the front (contact) spring.
Remove the screw that is holding both springs to the armature bar. First, put the screw back in the hole in the rear spring and start it into the armature bar. Make sure you still have both washers
on the screw, on top, above the springs. Next, put on the front spring, placing it on top of the rear spring and under both washers. This front spring will just slide on the screw. Tighten finger
tight. Before replacing assembly, take this opportunity to buff your contact screw, removing any pits.
To replace the assembly, slide the rear spring under the loosened rear screw, making sure the rear spring is back all the way against the screw and under both washers. Tighten finger tight.
Keeping your equipment running smoothly is very important and takes more than just a little luck. You have to understand all aspects of the machines and how to tune them.
One of your duties will be to check the contact points on a regular basis. Keep the points and the contact screws in good shape so they will make good “contact.”
To set the points, be sure they are first clean and smooth. A point file can be used to flatten the surfaces if either one of them is burned or pitted. Silver points are readily replaceable and if
they can’t be filed back into shape, put on a new spring with a new contact point on it, or just file off the old point and put on a new one. If it can be repaired, do so, taking care not to file off
any more of the point than you need to. Emery cloth is very effective in cleaning up both the points and the contact screw, also a burnishing file works well.
Use a light touch on the procedure, or you will go through a lot more contact points than necessary. A quick buff job when they get slightly pitted is about all that is required. Be sure to buff the
contact screw too, so you will have good contact there.
To get longer life out of the points, spray them with a good contact cleaner occasionally.

This past April I wrote a post, on beautiful bedroom spaces that had inspired me to transform the Fashionista’s former lime green bedroom into a soothing sanctuary. After determining how I would use the space, I then set a budget and gathered several things stored in my cabinets and closets that I wanted to use in the space. A set of embroidered linens I had rescued and framed were at the top of the pile. They now grace the entry of the guest room and set the tone of the room.
A new guest bedroom for under $500
I also wanted to hang an oil painting that my mother had done as a young girl in the room. Based on the colors found in these pieces of art it was decided that the walls of the room would be lavender. I involved both the Fashionista and Mr. Decor in the decision. It was easy enough for the Fashionista to love the selection as purple is her favorite color. For Mr. Decor lavender reminded him of our wedding colors which were cream and periwinkle.
Although I wanted white linen drapery panels for the window I couldn’t find long enough panels (96″) in a bright white that fit the budget. Instead, IKEA came to the rescue with white matelasse panels, $29.00 for two. Of course, every guest room should have a chair in which a guest can sit on.

Wildlife District Six public hearing tonight
A public hearing for Wildlife District Six, which includes Rowan County, will be held tonight at South Stanly High School in Norwood at 7 p.m.
Nine public hearing sponsored by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission are held statewide. The hearings allow the public to discuss proposed new regulations involving hunting, fishing and trapping.
Among the proposed regulations that may impact local sportsmen are:
– Remove the exception that allows the harvest of two bass smaller than 14 inches within the five fish daily creel limit downstream of Cooleemee Dam on the South Yadkin River. The proposal would standardize rules with those of the Yadkin River and High Rock Lake.
– Implement an 8-inch minimum size limit for crappie and a 20-fish-per-day creel limit downstream of Cooleemee Dam on the South Yadkin River.
– Limit the number of jug hooks that can be fished to 100 per boat, require them to be labeled with the name and address of users, fished daily, and allow enforcement officers to remove jug hooks that are unattended.
– Establish a creel limit of one fish per day for blue catfish longer than 32 inches for Lake Norman and Badin Lake.
– Implement a two-buck bag limit for counties and parts of counties in the Eastern Deer Season that currently have a four-buck bag limit.
– Remove season and possession hunting limits for red and gray squirrels, raccoons and rabbits. Daily hunting bag limits will remain in effect (red and gray squirrels: 8; raccoon: 3; and rabbit: 5).
A complete list of the proposed regulations can be found at www.ncwildlife.org.


The Telegraph from UK reports on family relationship and Facebook.
Most parents playing the watchdog role, usually fail to follow their kids’ tracks in social networkdom.
Any trade-off possible? No way.
It’s some kinda war where parent usually lose – kids’ control too…
Some 16 per cent of parents surveyed said they had tried to become their child’s friend on a social network.. A third of them were rejected however.
Why is it so important?
Besides being important if you’re a parent – it’s a crucial moment since debate is igniting over the 13-years minimum age limit that even Facebook is finding too limiting.
An even greater proportion of parents monitor general internet use than spy on their child’s social networking profiles, the study found. Some 76 per cent said they check internet history files for unsuitable websites.

Grove City College will be well represented at this weekend’s 2020 Jubilee conference at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh.
Rev. Dr. D. Dean Weaver ’86, interim College chaplain, will be a plenary speaker at the Christian event that runs Friday, Feb. 21 through Sunday, Feb. 23. He’ll be talking about redemption – “The Moment That Changed Everything” – at 3:30 p.m. Saturday on the main stage.
“The conference is a life changing and transforming experience and it is exciting to be a part of engaging 4,000 college students with the gospel,” Weaver said. “It is one of the closest things on this earth to experiencing the fullness of the Kingdom of God.”
Jubilee, hosted by the Coalition for Christian Outreach (CCO,) is geared toward college students. This year’s theme is the Biblical narrative of creation, fall, redemption and restoration.
College President Paul J. McNulty ’80 and Biblical and Religious Studies Professor Rev. Dr. Donald Shepson III are also among the speakers.
McNulty will speak in a Breakout Session at 2 p.m. Saturday titled “God and Government: Biblical Faithfulness in the Political Arena.”
“I’m excited to be speaking on Christianity and politics at Jubilee 2020 because the conference was influential in my life as a Grove City College student,” McNulty said. “It helped me better understand the relationship between Christ’s redemptive work and every aspect of life.”
Shepson will be speaking at 9 a.m. Sunday in a breakout session on “The Spiritual Disciplines: How and Why?”
“I’m real excited about speaking at Jubilee because the students who attend are fantastic and love the Lord,” Shepson said. “There is nothing quite like joining in praise and adoration of God with 4,000 other brothers and sisters; it’s a little taste of heaven I think.”
More than 65 Grove City College students and five faculty are also headed to Jubilee, according to Joshua Hayes, CCO staff at the College. “This year is our largest year of attendance since I began working at GCC in 2016,” he said.
Hayes and his colleagues Adrienne Orris ‘02, Andrew Schumacher and Ben Makin, coordinate the effort of getting students to and from the conference. “We work collaboratively with the Chaplain's office, Trustees, Student Life and Learning, Career Services and other faculty and staff to make this weekend a success,” Hayes said.
Students and non-students can still register the day of the conference. A day pass can also be purchased for Saturday and admittance is free on Sunday.
If students, faculty or staff have questions about Jubilee, they can contact Joshua Hayes by email at email@example.com. For more information on the conference, visit www.jubileeconference.com.

Multiple mortgage lenders issued positive reprices. Only loans i would float over night would be ones where you can lock tomorrow on a shorter time period. – Victor Burek, Churchill Mortgage Rates.
can i lock rates with multiple lenders | Joshloveless – All the lenders offered the rate lock options for the new construction period under different terms, but the actual rates were the same across lenders. mortgage rate locks: How They Work | Nolo – A broker can obtain a rate lock from the lender, but he or she can’t actually write the.
So my question is, what downside is there to getting multiple rate locks from multiple lenders? For example, if it rates are more advantageous, why would I not get a 60 day rate lock now from Bank of America, eventually a 30 day lock from Well Fargo, then a 14 day lock from Chase, and no lock from TD Bank?

Chess is like a globe by WIM Alexey Root, Ph.D.
(Empowering educators and librarians to use chess to teach academic subjects without relying on outside chess experts)
As an author with ABC-CLIO, I work at my publisher’s booth at conferences for educators and librarians. To attract customers, I used to ask conference attendees, “Are you interested in chess?” My question got responses ranging from “no” to scared expressions to walking away. Most educators and librarians are not tournament chess players. Chess may even intimidate them. Therefore, I changed my question to, “Are your students or library patrons interested in chess?” Educators and librarians said yes, and many bought my books.
I think my discovery is more than a sales trick. Educators and librarians are the most qualified people to interact with their students and patrons. That is, in the United States, educators and librarians earn certifications before being put in charge of classrooms and libraries. Outside chess experts may not have those certifications. My books enable educators and librarians to use chess to teach academic subjects without relying on outside chess experts.
To me, chess is like a globe. A globe is a big sphere with colored maps on it. It often gathers dust, ignored. But educators and librarians may use globes to illustrate concepts in geography. Students and library patrons spin globes to imagine life in other countries or to compare the sizes of nations. Like the globe, chess may teach. The chess board, for example, can illustrate coordinate geometry since finding the square “e4” is similar to finding a (x, y) point.
Here is a longer example of how chess might serve goals established by educators and librarians. The objectives for one lesson in People, Places, Checkmates: Teaching Social Studies with Chess (2010) are, “Students learn that each trader on the Silk Road, comprised of dozens of different trade routes, traveled less than a few hundred miles. Students dramatize the exchange of goods and money and the cultural diffusion of shatranj over the Silk Road.” Shatranj was an early version of chess. Within the lesson, students dramatize “how shatranj might have been transmitted and transformed, as in a game of telephone, from Arab countries to China in the ninth century.” The game of telephone is where one person whispers in another’s ear, then that message is whispered in a third person’s ear, and so forth. The message is usually much changed from the first person who says it to the last person who hears it. After the dramatization, students play Tandem Chess, a game where players have partners but direct communication isn’t allowed. Thus, the chess exercise reinforces the Silk Road lesson of transmission often transforming ideas.
Like globes, chess sets and boards may sit, dormant, on educators’ or librarians’ bookshelves. To counteract that possibility, encourage educators and librarians to use chess to meet their goals for students and patrons. Chess will grow when educators and librarians are empowered rather than dependent on outside chess experts. To learn more, please read my books, take my Chess Online courses, or meet me in person at the Second Koltanowski International Conference on Chess and Education.

Losing the ability to communicate is a frightening prospect, and audiologist Melissa Wikoff knows firsthand the challenges that come with hearing loss. She grew up with two grandfathers who suffered hearing loss as veterans of World War II.
“Their hearing aids would always feedback,” Wikoff said. “I would hug them and hear their hearing aids whistling. I remember calling them, and the hearing aid would ring, and they would have to put someone else on the phone. I got into the field because I knew it shouldn’t have to be like that.”
Her East Cobb business, Peachtree Hearing, is establishing itself as a full-service audiology boutique. Wikoff aims to address all aspects of hearing loss and to provide the finest care possible.
As a full-service practice, Peachtree Hearing doesn’t need to send patients to different places for tests and services.
“From the moment I started studying, I knew that I wanted to do something different,” Wikoff said. “I’ve seen a lack in full-service testing. There’s a big influx of big-box stores, and you can go get a hearing aid there, but they don’t treat you like a member of their family.”
Wikoff graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in speech and hearing sciences before earning her doctor of audiology degree from Washington University in St. Louis. She also has studied in Belize, Spain and California.
She runs the business with the help of her husband, Josh, an Atlanta native. Now in the technology and software industry, he grew up as a member of Congregation Etz Chaim, participated in BBYO, lived in Israel and served in the Israel Defense Forces.
“We want it to feel like a spa or a boutique,” he said. “We don’t want it to feel like you’re walking into a cold doctor’s office. People should come in and feel comfortable and not have to worry about getting their hearing checked. A huge percentage of the population has hearing loss. Not everyone does something about it, but it’s not something that should be stigmatized.”
There’s a stigma attached to hearing aids, she said, and the process of losing hearing and seeing an audiologist can be frightening. “No one wants to come see me. We don’t want it to feel scary and clinical.”
It’s evident when looking around her office that the aim is to be inviting, from the colorful artwork to the cappuccino machine to the baby-blue booth where hearing tests are conducted.
Wikoff acknowledges some challenges in the recent opening of her practice. “In school they teach you all about being an audiologist,” she said. “They don’t teach you anything about being a business owner. I never took a single business class.”
Some of her days are filled with clients, she said, but others see her working more as a business owner on tasks such as marketing.
Her priority is to grow her clientele, Wikoff said. “My goal is to make hearing not so scary and cold and not such a mystery. I want to get people hearing better.”

It was in the late 1950s and 1960s that Soviet and American missions revealed two very different faces of the Moon.
The visible face is covered by so-called lunar seas, which appear as large dark patches that reveal ancient lava flows. On the hidden face, however, these seas are barely visible.
The reason for this difference is a long-standing mystery.
But a new scientific study from the United States proposes an explanation to solve the riddle: a gigantic impact billions of years ago would have generated this difference.
Two very different faces
“The biggest differences between the visible face and the hidden face of the Moon have to do with the appearance and with the chemical composition of these lunar regions”, told BBC News Mundo, the BBC’s Spanish service, José María Madiedo, an astrophysicist at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), a specialist in asteroid impacts on the Moon. Madiedo did not participate in the American study.
“On the visible face there are many large areas covered with solidified lava that are called mares. On the far face, however, these mares are very scarce.”
Madiedo also highlighted that, in terms of composition, the space missions carried out so far have found great contrasts in the presence of certain elements.
“For example, on the visible face there are higher concentrations of potassium, titanium, thorium, phosphorus and other elements of the so-called rare earth group (REE).
“All this reveals that throughout its evolution the Moon must have suffered some kind of phenomenon that could give rise to these differences.”
The new study, published in the journal Science Advances, points out that the differences between the faces of the Moon occur because of the large impact, which created the so-called South Pole-Aitken basin (SPA).
The South Pole-Aitken Basin “is a large impact crater located in the vicinity of the Moon’s south pole,” Madiedo explained.
“With a diameter of about 2,500 km and a depth of 12 km, this is one of the largest impact structures found on Solar System objects.”
The location of this basin lies in the area corresponding to the far side of the Moon, which is not visible from Earth, added the expert.
“From our planet, you can only see the edge of the basin, which is formed by a mountain range about 9 kilometers high.”
The impact that created the South Pole-Aitken basin would have caused a huge cloud of heat that spread through the Moon’s interior.
As it spread, this cloud carried several rare earths to the visible side of the Moon. And the abundance of these heat-generating elements would have contributed to the volcanic activity that created the lava flows.
“We know that large impacts like the one that formed the SPA would generate a lot of heat,” says Matt Jones, lead author of the study and a postdoctoral student at Brown University in Rhode Island.
“The question is how this heat affects the Moon’s interior dynamics. What we show is that under any plausible conditions at the time the SPA formed, these heat-producing elements end up being concentrated on the near side.”
“This contributed to the melting of the mantle that produced the lava flows we see on the surface.”
‘Like a surfer’
The Moon’s near side hosts a compositional anomaly known as Procellarum KREEP Terrain (PKT) — a concentration of potassium, rare earth elements and phosphorus, along with heat-producing elements like thorium, explained in a statement to Brown University.
This KREEP appears to be concentrated in and around Oceanus Procellarum, the largest of the nearby volcanic plains.
Scientists ran computer simulations of how the heat generated by a giant impact would alter convection patterns inside the Moon and how this could redistribute KREEP material in the lunar mantle.
Models of the lunar interior suggest that the material should have been more or less evenly distributed below the surface. But this new model shows that the uniform distribution would be interrupted by the heat cloud generated by the SPA impact.
“According to the model, the KREEP material would have ‘surfed’ the heat wave that emanated from the SPA’s impact zone as if it were a surfer,” reads the Brown University statement.
As the heat cloud extended below the Moon’s crust, this material was drawn towards the nearer side.
The researchers say the work provides a credible explanation for one of the great mysteries about the Moon.
“How PKT formed is possibly the biggest open question in lunar science,” Jones said. “And the South Pole-Aitken impact is one of the biggest events in lunar history. This work brings those two things together and I think our results are really exciting.”
In addition to Brown University, researchers from Purdue University, Stanford University, the Lunar and Planetary Science Laboratory in Arizona, and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory participated in the study.

Pymble athletes win world champions title!
Wednesday 20 September, 2017
A group of dedicated Pymble Ladies’ College athletes has claimed the title of World Champions at the International School Sport Federation (ISF) World Schools Athletics Championship in Nancy, France. The six girls competed against some of the best athletes from 28 countries including the United Kingdom, China and Brazil to achieve outstanding results on the track and field and to be named champion school team.
“The Pymble athletics program is so successful because we have absolute commitment from our athletes, who all love coming to training, pushing each other to be the best athlete they can be and having fun while doing it,” says Director of Sport and Activities, Mr Cameron Anderson.
“The backbone of the team is our Manger of Athletics, Mrs Katie Edwards and our amazing coaches, who have the extensive knowledge, experience and encouraging attitude to help each athlete realise their potential.
“Our Head coaches Melinda Gainsford-Taylor, Deb Walsham, Lawrie Barclay and Leanne Pejkovic all support, encourage and help our athletes to put their best foot forward every time they step onto the field,” Mr Anderson says.
The Athletics World Schools Championship is one of 12 World Schools Championships hosted by the ISF each year. More than 10,000 student athletes participate in these Championships – which also include Basketball, Swimming, Tennis and Football – annually.

Some in the academic world think so.
“I think the elevation of Cyber Command and I think the creation of Cyber Command has expedited the security dilemma,” Aaron Brantly, assistant professor of political science at Virginia Tech, said during a panel at the CyCon U.S. conference in Washington Nov. 8.
“I think that that has spurred a process by which multiple other states around the world are in the process of developing their own cyber commands. These people are sitting in buildings and they have to do something so they’re developing exploits.”
Many actors have discovered that while cyber will likely be part of a future conflict ― therefore necessitating preparedness within that sphere ― the domain more easily facilitates operations that fall below the typical threshold of conflict.
The hack of the DNC and subsequent meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election is a perfect example. Moreover, cyberspace has given spy agencies greater ease with which to do their jobs by developing exploits and penetrating networks. In fact, former NSA and CIA Director Michael Hayden, as well as then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper noted the hack of the Office of Personnel Management was fair game. This act, believed to be attributed to the Chinese government, saw the theft of millions of sensitive information of government employees, creating an intelligence gold mine for potential future actions.
“The institutional growth of cyber is being used as a proxy for capability,” Jacquelyn Schneider, assistant professor in the Center for Naval Warfare Studies and a core faculty member of the Center for Cyber Conflict Studies, said during the same panel. She noted that she conducted a study a few years ago in which she examined what the Chinese cared about for a four-month period. One of the primary signals they cared about was the announcement and stand up of Cyber Command’s cyber mission force.
“Nobody announced what these teams actually do, just that there are these people and they operate but it is a standing for order of battle,” she said. “For some reason that ends up being an idea of what the balance of power is in cyberspace.”
The cyber mission force serves as the dedicated cyber warriors for the Department of Defense, consisting of roughly 6,200 individuals and 133 teams conducting offensive, defensive and support/intelligence operations in cyberspace.
To Schneider’s point, the most recent DoD report on China asserted the People’s Liberation Army has taken note of U.S. Cyber Command’s structure that consolidated cyber functions under a single entity through the Strategic Support Force, which links the PLA’s space, cyber and EW missions under one hat.
While cyber operations offer a great deal of asymmetric capabilities, their overall effect can sometimes be overstated. Cyber does not occur in a vacuum and as such, using cyber alone as a deterrent for other domains of warfare might not be very successful.
Schneider explained that during wargames, participants looked at when a player thought they were sending cyber operations as a signal of deterrence, was that signal received and if they received that signal, did it change behavior.
“The answer is almost all of the cyber signals that people thought they were sending were never received,” she said. “In general, deterrence is not elegant.”
“I would say one of the core characteristics of cyberspace is its uncertainty,” she added. “Using uncertainty to deter is very difficult. I think there are other influence type operations that we can use in cyberspace. But so far I have found it is very difficult to use cyberspace operations as an effective means of deterring operations in other domains.”
As such, Schneider noted that Cyber Command might have been pigeonholed into thinking of cyber deterrence, given it was originally stood up under Strategic Command, whose job is deterrence. If Cyber Command had been established under Special Operations Command or Transportation Command, for example, she said, it might not have as much a focus on deterrence.
“I think in some ways it’s counter productive because when you think of a resource as a strategic resource, then you need to hold it tightly and never let other people use it,” she said.
“What that ends up doing is so far cyberspace operations have not been effective for deterrence for the reasons I previous said. At the same time we have decision makers that are so nervous about using cyberspace operations because they’re strategic that they’re not being used in other ways where they could be used in coercion or counter cyber operations or operations that are underneath the threshold of where we would think of war.”
Others have said that the elevation of Cyber Command to a full unified combatant command out from under Strategic Command in some ways might be a reduction in the importance of cyber.
Paul Rosenzweig, former assistant secretary for policy at the Department of Homeland Security, has previously said the elevation signifies a normalization of cyber, much like airplanes or tanks, and not a strategic resource. In practice, the elevation means that the head of CYBERCOM will get a seat at the table and be able to ask for more money, more troops and more billeting, and he’ll likely get it, Rosenzweig added.
“For me I think that Cyber Command should maybe walk back some of the deterrence initiatives … and think a lot more about using cyber operation outside of a deterrence framework,” Schneider said.
Mark Pomerleau is a reporter for C4ISRNET, covering information warfare and cyberspace.

It’s Time for Answers in the Willingham Case
Ten years ago today – February 17, 2004 –Cameron Todd Willingham was executed by the State of Texas despite compelling evidence of his innocence. Willingham was put to death for the 1991 arson murder of his three daughters in Corsicana. His case continues to be shrouded in doubt and controversy, as every fire expert who has examined the case since the time of his conviction has concluded that the evidence does not support the finding of arson. The tragic deaths of Willingham’s children were likely the result of a terrible accident, not a crime.
Last fall, relatives for Cameron Todd Willingham, working with the Innocence Project, filed an amended petition with the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles asking the state to posthumously pardon him. Family
members urged the state to conduct an investigation into Willingham’s wrongful execution based on newly discovered evidence that points to possible false testimony at his trial and possible prosecutorial misconduct.
Take action today! Through the Innocence Project, you can write to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles and Governor Rick Perry and ask them to conduct an investigation into Cameron Todd Willingham’s execution. The Willingham family should not have to wait another 10 years for answers.
