What is it that makes grilled food so good? I mean you can cook a burger inside on a stove and it is good, but when you take one off a gas grill it is much better, why? And don't even get me started on if it is a charcoal grill the smoke just gives it such a great taste. But I think smoked pork butt or brisket is my favorite. That smoker was the best $15 we ver spent.

Hope so---as soon as this god awful May weather improves. Got a buddy from work coming over on Sunday to clean my gutters---saw water falling directly downward from them this AM. Going to cook him some steak and feed him a 6 pack or two---after the roof stuff is done.

said by NY Tel :

Yeah water falling form them directly just means they need a bad cleaning. I do mine every year and once they open up it is much better for the property.
No beer before he goes up on the roof.

These two are 16 and 18. I'll probably remain the 18 year old's legal guardian for another year or two, so it's still my jurisdiction.

Our family's pretty tight; it'd be very unlikely they'd have licenses or permits without my knowledge.

You have an 18 year old and you want to remain his legal guardian? I'm not even sure you can do that without his permission...

I respect that. I'm more of the kind of guy that likes to take my FXDX on the back roads and enjoy the countryside. Maybe find a nice lady friend to enjoy the ride and grab a few beers.

But anyone that has the balls the throw their leg over 2 wheels and head out amongst the cage drivers and make a go of it is OK in my book. Not everyone is cut out to take a bike into traffic in this day and age.

Awesome vid. I have no plans of going that fast in the near future...

you can never have too much on a bike. you just have to learn to control it and respect it to keep alive.

President Obama announced Friday he is creating the post of cyber security coordinator to oversee "a new comprehensive approach to securing America's digital infrastructure."

The czar will report to both the national security adviser and the head of the National Economic Council, sources familiar with Obama's plan said.

In addition, the White House was to release a 40-page report that sets broad goals for combating cyber intrusions, but does not spell out in detail how to do so, said the sources, who would not agree to be identified because the report had not been released.

The president said he will personally select the person who takes on that post and "will depend on this official" in all matters related to online security.

Tough new border regulations come into effect Monday, requiring anyone entering the U.S. to carry a passport or equivalent identification.

Starting June 1, both Canadian citizens and U.S. citizens returning home will need proper identification to cross the border into the United States.

"For a traveller what that means is we can no longer can take an oral declaration. We can no longer take a driver's licence for identification," said Chief Thomas Schreiber with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Travellers will need either a passport, a NEXUS card or an enhanced driver's licence, also known as an EDL. "Basically this is something that works very similar to your driver's licence [but] in addition to being a driver's licence it also confirms your Canadian citizenship."

"Neither the Canadian or American border authorities will be turning people away on June the 1st," he said. "I think what they'll be doing is handing out information at the border for anyone who doesn't have the correct new required documentation."

An estimated 70 per cent of Americans don't hold passports, according to U.S. State Department figures for 2008.

That's raised concerns that those Americans won't bother visiting Canada, or entertain doing business north of the border, if they're now required to dole out the cash and endure the bureaucratic hassle of getting one.

The government’s urgent push into cyberwarfare has set off a rush among the biggest military companies for billions of dollars in new defense contracts.

Nearly all of the largest military companies — including Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon — have major cyber contracts with the military and intelligence agencies.

They have been buying smaller firms, financing academic research and running advertisements for “cyberninjas” at a time when other industries are shedding workers.

The young engineers represent the new face of a war that President Obama described Friday as “one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation.”

Air Force plans this year to award the first publicly announced contract for developing tools to break into enemy computers. The companies are also teaming up to build a National Cyber Range, a model of the Internet for testing advanced techniques.

Mr. Harding estimates that there are now 3,000 to 5,000 information operations specialists in the military and 50,000 to 70,000 soldiers involved in general computer operations. Adding specialists in electronic warfare, deception and other areas could bring the total number of information operations personnel to as many as 88,700, he said.
