The OpenBSD project produces a multi-platform 4.4BSD-based UNIX-like operating system. OpenBSD's efforts emphasize portability, standardization, correctness, proactive security and integrated cryptography. OpenBSD supports binary emulation of most programs from SVR4 (Solaris), FreeBSD, Linux, BSD/OS, SunOS and HP-UX.
OpenBSD believes in strong security. Our aspiration is to be NUMBER ONE in the industry for security (if we are not already there). Our open software development model permits us to take a more uncompromising view towards increased security than most vendors are able to. We can make changes the vendors would not make. Also, since OpenBSD is exported with cryptography, we are able to take cryptographic approaches towards fixing security problems.
"Secure by Default"
To ensure that novice users of OpenBSD do not need to become security experts overnight (a viewpoint which other vendors seem to have), we ship the operating system in a Secure by Default mode. All non-essential services are disabled. As the user/administrator becomes more familiar with the system, he will discover that he has to enable daemons and other parts of the system. During the process of learning how to enable a new service, the novice is more likely to learn of security considerations.
This is in stark contrast to the increasing number of systems that ship with NFS, mountd, web servers, and various other services enabled by default, creating instantaneous security problems for their users within minutes after their first install.

God's Pocket is one of only three remaining films starring Fairport native and Academy Award-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman that will be released following the actor's death. The weight of this importance, especially here in Rochester, hits you directly in the chest as Hoffman's familiar heavyset build and disheveled looks are featured predominantly in the opening shots of the film.
In those very first moments of God's Pocket, it is impossible to divorce yourself from Hoffman and the tragic event that occurred this past February. But, the minute Hoffman delivers his first line of dialogue as Mickey Scarpato, a two-bit gangster stuck in a couple of impossible situations, you are immediately transported to the gritty, blue-collar South Philadelphia neighborhood of "God's Pocket" – that was the magic Hoffman possessed.
In the film, directed by Mad Men actor John Slattery, Mickey's step-son Leon, is killed in a construction "accident," and Mickey quickly tries to bury the bad news with the body. But, when a local newspaper columnist comes sniffing around for the truth, things go from bad to worse as Mickey finds himself stuck in a life-and-death struggle compounded by a body he can't bury, a wife he can't please, and a debt he can't pay.
The colorful world of God's Pocket is brought to life not just by Hoffman, but by a spectacular cast as well, featuring John Turturro, Christina Hendricks, Richard Jenkins, Peter Gerety, Eddie Marsan and Joyce Van Patten. These veteran actors hold the film together even when the pacing seems a bit disjointed in certain segments. This is especially true of Hendricks and Jenkins, who have several scenes together which require an awkwardness that, in the hands of lesser actors, would fall flat.
God's Pocket is an interesting mix of crime drama and, in a few scenes, dark comedy in which you are never sure if you are supposed to be laughing with the characters or at them. Make no mistake though – the laughs in God's Pocket are few and far between as the tension in Mikey's life builds to a boiling point.
In many ways, God's Pocket feels like the right way to mourn Hoffman because the role of Mickey allowed him to show off his extraordinary skill and depth as an actor. Every one of Hoffman's scenes is enhanced by of his presence. God's Pocket encapsulates everything we love about Hoffman and makes his passing even more profound. After God's Pocket, we will only have two more chances to witness his transformation into a role for the first time, and that is a devastating reality.

Only those who have eyes but refuse to see, and ears but refuse to hear, ignore the massive vote fraud that was perpetrated across America in the pivotal 2012 election.
As examples, there were:
- 59 voting divisions in the city of Philadelphia where Mitt Romney did not receive a single vote.
- Reports of voting machines repeatedly switching votes from Romney to Obama.
- Counties with voter registration rates of more than 100%.
- Reports of people unable to vote because records allegedly (and erroneously) showed they had already voted.
- Reports of Obama voters being bussed in from outside the state.
- An Obama campaign worker recorded on tape helping someone to register to vote in more than one state.
- Tens of thousands of military overseas ballots being lost or delivered late.
For more, see "22 signs of Democrat Voter Fraud in 2012 Election,"
Despite all these reports and signs of vote fraud, neither the Romney campaign nor the Republican National Committee (RNC) did anything to expose the fraud or challenge the alleged election results.
If you're wondering why and don't know about a strange legal agreement signed by the RNC 30 years ago, the 1982 Consent Decree, in which the RNC agreed not to prevent or challenge vote fraud, see my post of Nov. 15, 2012, "Why the GOP won't challenge vote fraud".
And so it's up to the American people and citizens groups to do the job of the useless Republican Party.
One such group is the Civitas Institute, a conservative organization in North Carolina dedicated to "The vision … of a North Carolina whose citizens enjoy liberty and prosperity derived from limited government, personal responsibility and civic engagement."
James Simpson reports for Examiner.com, Feb. 20, 2013, that North Carolina does not allow online voting. But the Civitas Institute discovered that the North Carolina State Board of Elections (SBE) and the Obama 2012 Campaign conspired to register at least 11,000 people via the Internet in violation of state law. SBE staff authorized an Obama campaign website, Gottaregister.com, to use a web-based registration program.
Civitas has confirmed this through records requests filed with all of North Carolina's 100 counties. The counting is not yet complete.
Currently California, Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Nevada, Maryland, and New York allow some form of online voter registration. North Carolina and many other states do not. For obvious reasons, this method is fraught with vulnerabilities to fraud.
Another, still on-going, study by Civitas Institute finds that 832 people over 112 voted by absentee ballot in 2012, but there are only 330 people over 110 in all of the U.S. according to the 2010 census. 68.5% of those amazing over-112-years-old Americans were Democrats (SURPRISE!), 27.5% Republicans, and 4% unaffiliated. A glitch causes ballots to default to January 1, 1900 when voters do not enter their birth date, which accounts for most of this. This is just one of many problems with NC voter rolls, which are in a shambles and vulnerable to fraudulent votes.
Simpson concludes:
"the Obama administration…have shown themselves over and over to be completely contemptuous of the law – from vote fraud to Fast-n-Furious; from Benghazi-gate to recess appointments and unconstitutional executive orders, the list is endless. As I described in a WorldNetDaily article last November, the Obama administration was willing to use whatever means at its disposal to win this election, legal and illegal. Up until now, my assumption has been that, while they plainly engaged in vote fraud in some circumstances, it wasn't enough to throw the election. Depending upon whether or not they used tricks like this nationwide – and they probably did – they may have in fact stolen this election."
"…the North Carolina State Board of Elections (SBE) and the Obama 2012 Campaign conspired to register at least 11,000 people via the Internet in violation of state law."
GASP!!! That's a conspiracy!!!
Just tell that to the next pretentious media personality snootily dismissing by deriding those looney "conspiracy theorists."

VANCOUER, B.C. — Vancouver police have issued a public warning about a high-risk offender moving into the city who was at the centre of a high-profile abduction case in 2011.
Police say Randall Hopley, 53, still poses a risk of significant harm to the safety of young boys.
Hopley has served his entire six-year sentence for breaking into a home in Sparwood, B.C., in September 2011 and abducting a three-year-old boy only to return him four days later physically unharmed.
A National Parole Board decision released to The Canadian Press on Thursday says Hopley continues to be assessed as a high risk for sexual offending against children.
The Correctional Service of Canada called for a "structured release plan and zero tolerance" for Hopley should he not abide by his release conditions, the decision says.
Hopley pleaded guilty in 2013 to abducting the sleeping boy from a second-floor bedroom in his family's home. He kept the child for four days before returning him physically unharmed after his parents made a public plea.
Const. Jason Doucette, spokesman for the Vancouver Police Department, said at a news conference that Hopley moved into the city Thursday.
Doucette said Hopley will be living in a residential correctional facility but wouldn't reveal the location.
"It's citywide and I would even say into other municipalities because we've got a great transit system. He may have an address today that may change tomorrow."
Police taking it 'very seriously'
The police want people to familiarize themselves with his photo and release conditions, and call 911 if he is in violation of them, he said.
The Parole Board documents say Hopley is bound by a 10-year supervision order in an effort to manage his risks and his conditions including not being in the presence of any child under 16 and abiding by a curfew.
Hopley is described as five-foot-nine, 150 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes and he often wears a beard.
Doucette said he understands the frustration the public must feel.
"We don't get to choose where these federal offenders, who are deemed to be a high risk, where they get to live but I can tell you that Vancouver police takes these very seriously," he said.
How long Hopley will remain at the facility will depend on decisions made by the Correctional Service of Canada as well as ongoing supervision and assessments, he said.
The police take a number of steps to minimize risk to the public including releasing Hopley's information, Doucette said.
You appear to have little understanding of your offence cycle and do not demonstrate the ability to manage your own risk.Parole Board decision
The Parole Board decision dated Oct. 25 says Hopley refused to take part in a psychological risk assessment, and he remains a high risk for sexual contact with "pre-pubescent children, mostly male between the ages of four and 10."
"You appear to have little understanding of your offence cycle and do not demonstrate the ability to manage your own risk," it says.
His sentence expires Nov. 12. The board ordered the 10-year supervision order be maintained. He remains under a lifetime firearms prohibition.
Hopley was also designated a long-term offender after various courts heard that he sexually assaulted young children while living in a foster home as a teen.

1998 purchase Review by FAST EDDIE
I Purchased these grips in 1998 while in the military and have used them ever since. I replace the batteries every year during my annual tear-down and cleaning, and never had a problem. I adjusted them when purchased and the zero has not changed in 22 years.
The front activation button is conveniently located so when gripping the pistol the laser comes on without even thinking about it. The unit is chemical resistant and has not discolored from cleaning agents or wear from use. I am very pleased with these laser grips and would not hesitate to purchase another set for any of my firearms. (Posted on 7/8/2020)
Red in day time not good. Review by Scotty
Had mine since 16 February 2014. Love this thing my only regret would be I should have gotten the green one. Red is nice in the dark, but in the day outside at the range not so much...Other than that...very reliable tool. Just point and click (Posted on 4/2/2020)
I like it. Review by Kent
I have 2 Lg-301 CT laser sights on my 2 Colt 1911a1s and they are perfect, especially the side switches, I wish you made a LG-301 style laser grip for my Browning 1911-380. (Posted on 1/31/2020)
Happy Kimber Customer Review by Scotez
My first set of Crimson Trace were for my Bersa Thunder. I was so pleased I ordered a second set for my Kimber Custom II. As you get older you really start to appreciate laser sights and there are none better than Crimson Trace. The only complaint I have is that when I tried to order a set for my Mossberg 500 they are out of stock and have been for awhile. (Posted on 2/3/2019)
Air pistol Review by Smit
I have this CT grip on my German made air pistol (Beeman P1/HW45 in .20calibre). They retail for around $450
I had to trim the right safety For the laser to travel.
Awesome practice weapon if you own a colt45 or 1911. This laser site was the best choice though some people in the airgun community think it was too expensive. In my opinion, it's the way to go. Have it for 8 yrs with no problem. I use this practice airpistol everyday with this laser . (Posted on 4/3/2018)
One of the best upgrades a owner can do. Review by PJ
I'm very thrilled my CT grips. Let's start with the easy installation. The documents was clear and concise. My CT grips have improved accuracy in low light to dark situations <2". A market leading guarantee. Batteries for life what more could one ask for. I might drain them in 6 months with all the night practice I'm doing now.

Low Light Equalizer Review by Jesse
Sighting in was fast and easy. I set mine to 15 yards. I have an older Charles Daly that I had to trim the ambidexterous safety on but it works just fine. Have had no problems with it losing point of impact and very visible in low light conditions...no requirement for sight acquisition...just follow the red dot. Even in daylight, if on the wrong end of the red dot...you know it...great plus factor for anyone...bought a Master Series for other 1911 so didn't need to trim safety...just as great...thanks for the product. (Posted on 11/11/2015)
First time shooters Review by wideglide_07
Had to relate my experience teaching complete newbies to shoot using CT grips. I have Japanese customers who come to the states once a year for business. A different set every year. It has now become a tradition that I take them to the range and allow them to experience shooting a real firearm which they cannot do in Japan. After a brief safety lecture and explaining what proper trigger control is, they are soon scoring bulls at 10 yards with a 1911 .45 ACP. If these people can achieve that kind of accuracy having only an hour or two of hands on practice, anyone with a familiarity with their firearm can do much better in no time. Can't imagine any of my personal defense weapons without a CT laser now. (Posted on 11/9/2015)
First set of CT grips Review by wideglide_07
This is the first set of CT grips i have owned. Simple quick installation and right on the mark straight out of the box. Intuitive activation switch brings laser on without thought and allows instant target acquisition. If you can see your target and have a clear path from muzzle to target you can hit without doubt. Allows you to shoot from cover without exposing much for return fire. Not having to bring the weapon in line with eyes allows for some very unorthodox firing solutions! (Posted on 11/9/2015)
Top Quality Product Review by Bryan
I have had these grips on my Springfield 1911 for over 4 years now. All I can say is that these are very durable and work flawlessly. I have been through several 100's of rounds and the dot stays on target. I have never had to adjust since the initial sight-in. This adds to the piece of mind you get when this is a daily CC weapon. When target acquisition is needed, it will be very assuring you're going to hit where the dot is. I have recommended Crimson Trace to several others and will continue to purchase other fine products from them. (Posted on 9/21/2015)
A great laser Review by TumbleWeed
Crimson Trace is the best laser system money can buy. If you are having issues with the calibration of your CT Laser when following the provided instructions, contact CT Laser support. These Lasers have a 3 year warranty and if defective they will honor the warranty.
Saying that you flushed $300+ down the drain would be a choice, not a remedy!
If you truly believe that you wasted $300+ and want to throw your laser in the trash, please contact me and I will pay the shipping to my residence. I will except all lasers for all models that turn on if you want to throw it in my trash, postage paid! (Posted on 8/4/2015)
Hands down the best you can buy for the1911 Review by Ellis
The Lasergrip for the 1911 is the perfect addon. I recently purchased one and installed it in under ten minutes on my Regent r100. IT was dead on accurate straight out of the box. I can't recommend a better product. No need for mounting a rail, or a guard laser. This is a perfect option. I am willing to bet my life on it!!! The grip is of high quality and the activation button is just right for me! (Posted on 5/12/2015)
Laser jumps back and forth Review by C J
Bought a Kimber Crimson Carry II. Love the gun. Shot it at the range and the first few shots the laser was right on target then all of the sudden it was pointing very high and right compared to the iron sights. They had both been pointing the same. I adjusted the laser and a couple of shots later it dropped to low and left. Once again I adjusted it and a shot later it was back to high and right. I turned off the laser and shot some more using the iron sights. Later when I turned it back on it had jumped back to where it was to start with. I just leave it off now. Very disappointing. $300+ down the drain.

Not 100% Instinctive. Review by John
I am in the process of lasering up my handguns. My first laser was a 305 for the wife's J Frame...Perfect for her.
Next came the 401's for the 1911's. I still need a 405 for my J Frame...
Now for the goods...
On the 1911's the laser is not 100% instinctive... You will need to practice your grip. I had to change my grip ever so slightly to ensure good finger contact with the front activation button. I also had to be careful of my trigger finger getting in the way of the laser. All said and done, about 10 minutes to get it right...A few days of practice to commit it to muscle memory and there will be no more problems.
The only suggestion I can make to Trace would be to change the shape of the activation button from square to rectangular to compensate for grip differences.
All of this was to be expected...Any change to a firearm results in a learning curve!
I am 100% happy...
Now all I got to do is scrounge up the bucks for the 405! (Posted on 2/26/2014)
Very Good With A Caveat Review by GG
If you have an ambidextrous safety on your 1911 - these will not work. You'll have to cut off or remove the right side safety. (Posted on 2/9/2014)
lil red dot Review by Carlos
I was excited the day my laser grips arrived years ago. They're still running on the original batteries and now I'm ready to replace them with the green laser. I've carried my pistol everyday for years and the windage and elevation have never needed adjustment. The feel is natural and best of all, I got to keep my original holster. Before I shop for my next pistol, I'm checking to see what my laser options are first. Happy shooting! (Posted on 1/16/2014)
Remington R1 1911, Ruger LCP & LC9, zeroing 1911 was so simple. Review by Classicflh
I have purchased 3 CT Laser Sights and couldn't be happier. Sighting in my Remington R1 was as simple as putting the red dot right on aligned sight picture at 15 yards. Dead on. Absolutely tore up my last target with the 1911 laser.
When I replaced the battery and replaced the grips on the pistol, I didn't even have to readjust alignment.
My Rugers (LCP\LC9) are a blast to shoot without having to 'aim'. Just put the red on target and shoot. Shooting my LCP was a best guess before. Now I can count on the round going where it is intended.
I need one for a Makarov as well!
Laser Sights just make sense. (Posted on 10/25/2013)
Have to be the best laser products out there. Review by VMAX
I installed these on a Springfield Champion and have not looked back since. These are the finest laser grips that you can trust your life on. They were dead on at the 50yds they claimed. The only complaint is that large fingers will hide the laser if you do not pull your trigger finger down just a touch to uncover the optics. Would definitely buy these grips again, without a second thought. (Posted on 1/14/2013)
Don't know why I waited so long Review by NYS Officer
Just purchased these grips for my Dan Wesson, they fit and look great. Always thought lasers were a gimmick but now my time on multiple targets is drastically reduced with the aid of these grips. I can see a few more purchases in the near future.

Fantastic Laser Grips Review by Lhannaf45
These grips were sighted in at 50 feet as advertised. At 21 ft you can't miss. The laser is so fun to use I have already drained the batteries teasing the squirrels. Very comfortable grips, I like the blacked out look better than the wood grips. Sure beats the government sights up close. Speed of sight picture is instant. Well worth the cost for self defense at home and carry. Clay pigeons look out! (Posted on 12/1/2012)
Never carry without them! Review by GlockandKimber
I have bought three sets of CT grips, two for my Glocks and one for My Kimber cutsom II. The lg-401 is a little more than double the price than that of the Glock grips, but they are more than worth it. Don't buy the cheap ones to trust your life with, these are worth every penny. They feel great and best of all, function in any and every condition. The range test proved them to dead on between 15-200 yards with great lighting even at 200 yards. I will be a returning customer for future purchases. I recommend these to everyone, they won't change your grip, it feels natural. so I say if you're thinking about it..... Go for it! (Posted on 11/27/2012)
Worth the money Review by Sgt. John
The average police officer's weapon will never be used in combat. But if that day and moment arrives you will be running on 100 octane adrenalin.
The CTC grip, like a parachute, can be your life saver. Draw, light up the target and get to go home. You will only need it once.
If you have a newer Colt consider buying the Wilson Ambi safety from CTC. (Posted on 11/11/2012)
Makes a great Pistol better Review by Bruce
I added a set of these grips to my Kimber Custom TLE II. I have night sights on the pistol but getting them lined up takes time that you may not have. The laser gripis make target aquisition much faster. It also is a great training aid in improving trigger control and grip fundamentals. The product itself is top notch quality. The grips are comfortable and the fit to the pistol is excellent and tight. No self defense handgun should be without a set of laser grips. (Posted on 4/29/2012)
Awesome Review by The Gimp
Purchased for a Springfield 1911 A1. I liked these because the grip wasnt clunky, didnt take away from the design of the firearm and worked flawlessly. It has been on this firearm for almost three years. Paying this much for a laser is well worth it once tried. I always get compliments on it and feel more confident knowing I have it when I need it.

Great for dry fire training also Review by MachTurtle
I decided to get these grips for S&W Scantium 1911. I knew that I wanted to carry this gun so I thought that every advantage I could give myself, if the need ever arose, would be well worth it. Everybody knows how they help in low light conditions and how they are easy to adjust, but few people mention how they have likely paid for themselves in dry-fire practice. I, like most, don't get to shoot as much as I'd like. I have found myself useing the grips as a training aid during presintation from holster to target. You get instant feedback on your draw and if you cover something you didn't intend to.
Thanks for the great product. (Posted on 12/26/2011)

Thanks for the laseregrips (Posted on 12/18/2011)
None Better. Review by CSP
These are the best grips I have ever tried on a 1911. Very little to no hand grip deviation and very easy to quickly get into use. I highly recommend these for 1911's. Top shelf product. (Posted on 12/13/2011)
Wonderful Review by Mary
I love this laser sight. It is on my husbands gun so I am very envious.
I can hardly wait to get my own. Makes me a much more accurate shooter during target practice. (Posted on 12/12/2011)
Love this Laser site Review by Bob
This was out of the box the easiest thing I have ever installed, works great and all my friends want one now. My wife wants to get one for her S & W Model 60. Christmas is coming so.. I also like the batteries for life and it's nice to know there are companies that still treat the customer great..

Excellent product Review by Lt. Al
This is an amazing product. Easy to place on weapon and is very easy to use. Withstands "hardball" rounds. I've fired several hundred rounds through my Colt and have never had any problems with the Lasergrips. I highly recommend this for your 1911. (Posted on 12/11/2011)
Worth every penny! Review by littleschipper
I purchased these grips for my Colt Combat Commander, it was my first handgun and I've had it since the late 70's. The modifications I'd made over the years were better iron sights (a fixed three-dot setup,) and a beavertail grip safety. The original sights were just awful, even for my eyes in younger years. Even though the pistol is very familiar in my hands, insitnctive shooting in low-light conditions showed a need for improvement. After installing these grips I was pleasantly surprised over how much my accuracy improved in low light. I can still focus on the target and the red dot naturally finds the right spot for excellent hits, even during rapid shots. I'm planning on getting another set for my wife's house gun, a Smith & Wesson 686 with a 2.5" magna-ported barrel. Kudos to Crimson Trace and the gun makers adding these to their guns from the factory. I can't imagine having a pistol without them now. Some people think they're too expensive and consider cheaper alternatives but for my money, they're excellent quality and worth every penny! (Posted on 12/11/2011)
1911 Review by selket2
this was the best investment on a assessory for a gun you can buy, its easy to put on and ready aim fire and on what the laser on the bullet will hit. and my next gun will have the crimson trace laser lets just say all my gun's will have crimson trace lasers.
thanks for a great product... (Posted on 12/10/2011)
Wonderful solution for low light encounters Review by DinTex
The grips are mounted on a parkerized Springfield 1911. These arrive in a small black box, containing the grips, two batteries #2032, two grip shaped separators (goes between gun and grip), instructions, adjustment key, a cleaning "Q-tip" and some marketing material. It's packed well and sized such that parts would not fly around during transport.
Installation is a snap - unscrew old grips, put batteries in CT-grips, put separators on gun, put CT-grips on gun, fix screws.
Sighting is fast and easy. Choose your defensive distance (my take was 10 meter), use the key to ensure that laser dot sits spot on top of your sights. Done.
Shooting. After multiple range days with unholstering drills and shooting on the move, the lasers have held zero. During the day the laser (especially in bright sunlight) is not very evident. The grips shine in low light situations and during night shoots, as the laser gives an unmistakable point of aim and allows target acquisition even if the sights are next to useless.
Intimidation factor, as often stated here is unknown to me - I really hope I don't have to find out. Similarly, having a laser activated means that the other party does have a better target to aim at, something that leads me to cover/uncover the laser with my index-finger.
All in all an excellent solution. (Posted on 12/7/2011)

I'm posting again with a small question: How to get the old cgi working ?
I know it's a not-so-good thing to do but people are annoying me about their damned firefox plugins (like nagioschecker for example) and won't give it up ...
So here I am , trying to reenable the dorky old cgi for a useless plugin. And after a lot of rtfm and google, I cannot get it running.
I have a few questions :
- [li] I have no need to run the nagios3 binary, have I ?[/li]
[li] May I leave the cgi files in their old nagios3 folder assuming the config reflects that ?[/li]
[li] Providing the things I've done below, did I miss something ?[/li]
Bref, je sèche ! ( I'm stuck ) The old cgi continues to display me : "Error: Could not read object configuration data!"
I have configured shinken-specific.cfg :
...added the module in the broker conf too :Code:define module{ module_name Status-Dat module_type status_dat status_file status.dat # default dir is /var/lib/shinken/ object_cache_file objects.cache status_update_interval 15 }
...modified the /etc/nagios3/cgi.cfg :Code:modules Livestatus,Status-Dat,Simple-Log,WebUI,RedisRetention
...modified the /etc/shinken/nagios.cfg :Code:main_config_file=/etc/shinken/nagios.cfg nagios_check_command=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nagios /var/lib/shinken/status.dat 5 '/usr/sbin/nagios3' # I guess this one is useless...
...added to /etc/default/shinken :Code:object_cache_file=/var/lib/shinken/objects.cache precached_object_file=/var/lib/shinken/objects.precache status_file=/var/lib/shinken/status.dat
All files in /etc/shinken are property of shinken:shinken.Code:NAGIOS_CGI_CONFIG="/etc/shinken/cgi.cfg" #got this from an open bug report for OMD, not sure if it's useful
object.cache is shinken:www-data with read right set for the group. status.dat is shinken:shinken.
Nagios3 is the "in-distro" version (Debian Squeeze). Shinken is 0.8.5 build #440.
Once again, thanks for your attention.

The train derailment that killed four people in New York Sunday has re-energized a long-running debate over the use of technology to prevent rail accidents—and placed the governors of New York and Connecticut squarely in the middle of it.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has become the most visible official coordinating the response to the commuter rail accident, even though the response involves agencies from all levels of government. Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy also has weighed in, pressing Metro-North, which also serves Connecticut, to improve its safety standards. Two of the agency's trains collided in Connecticut in May, injuring 73 passengers and three employees.
Typically, states have a limited role in regulating railroads. Federal laws supersede state laws, although states can impose stricter rules on operators to deal with specific local circumstances.
But state officials can take on greater roles in the wake of a particularly tragic accident. That happened when a two-train collision in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Chatsworth left 25 people dead in 2008, and it may happen in this case as well.
Cuomo, a Democrat, was the first to publicly say Sunday's accident was most likely caused by speeding. Cuomo called in to a radio show after federal officials said the Metro-North train was traveling 82 mph on a turn where the speed limit was 30 mph. "This operator is not going to be operating a train any time soon, of that I can assure you," he said.
Meanwhile Malloy, also a Democrat, protested in a letter to Metro-North's president that he and other government officials must be kept in the loop when an accident occurs.
"Too often, there seems to be an insufficient sense of urgency in communicating news and updates among senior management when an incident occurs. When major incidents occur, immediate communication with officials at every level of government is critical," Malloy wrote.
Nationwide, 553 people have died in train accidents over the last decade.
Far-Reaching Consequences
The Chatsworth accident in Los Angeles occurred when the engineer of a MetroLink commuter train went through a stop signal and collided with a freight train. The engineer sent numerous text messages while at the controls, violating MetroLink policy. He died in the collision.
The accident sparked a nationwide crackdown on distracted driving, for transit operators as well as for everyday motorists. The California Public Utilities Commission, which oversees railroads among many other duties, banned the use of wireless devices by operators a week after the crash. The federal government followed suit a few weeks later.
The crash also was the catalyst for a federal law that requires railroads to install "positive train control" on routes carrying passengers or hazardous materials by 2015. The idea is to have locomotives and train equipment talk to each other using wireless signals. If they detect a danger—like a train traveling nearly three times the speed limit around a sharp curve—the train would automatically stop.
Existing train equipment uses circuits to keep tabs on individual trains, but it can't provide the exact location and speed of a particular train at a specific time. Positive train control uses GPS technology to pinpoint a train's location to within 7.5 feet, said Robert Halstead, the president of the National Association of Railroad Safety Consultants and Investigators.
Under positive train control, a locomotive leaving its terminal would be equipped with a computer to download files with detailed information on the train's route, including road crossings, curves, speed limits and temporary hazards such as track work.
The locomotive would communicate with signals and track equipment along the way, to make sure the engineer abided by safety restrictions. If the engineer did not respond to warnings, the system would bring the train to a complete halt, Halstead said.
Congress passed the requirement to install positive train control within weeks of the Chatsworth crash. At the time, however, most of the technology it mandated did not exist.
Amtrak now has elements of the system installed and MetroLink plans to roll out its own system next summer. But few commuter agencies or freight railroads anticipate meeting the 2015 deadline.
Malloy, the Connecticut governor, urged Metro-North to "expedite full implementation" of the technology in light of the agency's recent troubles. "This is an essential investment in safety that is a top priority," he wrote.
A Shortage of Money
Malloy said his state has reliably funded Metro-North's budget requests and backed efforts to secure federal funds, too. But transit agencies say the money Congress has dedicated to positive train control is nowhere near what is needed.
It will cost $2.75 billion to set up the system in the areas required by Congress, but federal lawmakers have approved just $50 million to fund it, according to the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), which represents transit agencies. That means Congress would foot the bill for less than 2 percent of the law's costs.
Commuter rail agencies have already spent more than $458 million to try to meet the federal deadline, but APTA is lobbying Congress to move back the deadline to the end of 2018.
"Commuter railroads are being forced to choose between performing critical system safety maintenance projects and implementing (positive train control) by 2015," APTA official Kathryn Waters told a U.S. Senate panel in June. She noted that transit agencies are struggling to find money to keep their tracks and equipment in good working order.
There also are technological and logistical challenges to implementing positive train control.
The biggest problem for railroads is developing systems that work together. Because freight rail companies often switch equipment, the technology on a Union Pacific locomotive originally designed to stay west of Chicago would also have to work with signals placed along track for New Jersey Transit, said Halstead, the accident inspector.
Furthermore, the Federal Communications Commission so far has refused transit agencies' request to set aside a portion of radio spectrum to allow the wireless devices to talk to each other. The transit agencies also are asking for the FCC's help in streamlining the approval process for an estimated 20,000 radio antennae poles they say would be needed to get positive train control up and running.

I feel like I have to put a disclaimer on this because inevitably someone will take what I say personally, or the wrong way. Below I share some thoughts about religion (my lack of actually) and nothing I say is meant to question your beliefs or you as a person. These are just my thoughts and my own experiences, and it's important to me that you know that I respect ALL of you, all of your beliefs, and your right to practice, or to not practice any religion you so choose. The beauty of this world is that we are all so different, and I love that this is a safe place for me to share pieces of my life. Thank you.
There have been times in my life where I so badly wished I could believe in god. Any god, really. Your god, the god my friends believe in. And believe me, I've tried. I grew up going to church and learning all about it, I looked up into those rafters and waited to hear a voice. I went to confessional and told the priest all about the things I did wrong, my 8-year-old imagination running wild, imagining God to be right behind that little door. If I opened it would I see him? If I did all my Hail Marys would he appear? But he didn't. And I understand that faith is about faith- in about believing that there is someone, something there...but for me that belief just never took root.
It's a gray area for me in a way though, because sometimes I think there has to be something, you know? Energies swirling around when we die, finding a new home in the ground, the trees, the blue blue sky. Maybe all of it gets put back into the atmosphere and becomes part of everything we are and do. Maybe. Hank on the other hand, believes that when we die, we die. There is no afterlife, no energy taking root in a new home, that it is just the end. And I can see that being the case, much more than I can see a perfect heaven that is designed from all of our hopes and dreams...but I just don't know.
I'm fascinated with religion though. Many of my friends are Christian and I always find it interesting to hear what they believe and why they do. I think it's amazing that they have that kind of faith and can just believe, be it Christianity or Buddhism or whatever else. I love learning about all of it, but in the same breath my thoughts go to all of the bad in the world and it doesn't make sense to me. It never will. I don't understand why children get sick and die, why horrible accidents happen and why wars and genocide and whatever other bad, terrible things I could name here take place. WHY. And so my mind can't grasp it, I can't believe that some old book written by old men could ever be the blueprint for how I'm supposed to live my life. I can't believe that we should ever tell anyone else who to marry or how to live, or make someone else feel bad for living outside of what we believe to be the "right" way to live.
There have been so many times in my life I wanted so badly to lean on something, to pray to someone. When my Grandma died I wished I knew where she went. But I didn't- I don't. I have no idea. And when all 19 of our firefighters died, and Andrew was just gone, it was shocking to me to hear people say there was a reason for it- it was God's plan. No. Nanny, Andrew, Kendall. I don't know where they are. I don't know if everything they did in their life determined some sort of afterlife. And I have no idea if I'll ever see them again. Honestly, I don't believe I ever will.
So what do I believe in? I believe in science. And I believe in doing the right thing and being kind. And I believe that there is a reason things happen and that the universe has a plan, at least sometimes. I believe that we get what we put out there, and at times I do think that karma must be real. I'm well aware I contradict myself and sometimes these beliefs don't make sense to me either. And maybe that's all this part of my life will ever be. Constantly questioning, not really knowing. And maybe at the very end of my life I'll find that there is something there, that all along it was right in front of me. Maybe I'll find out I was completely wrong but if you want to know the truth...I'm pretty sure we'll ALL be wrong.
I'll keep on this journey though, reading and thinking and questioning. I'll keep living this life as if it's all I've got, this here and now. I'll make decisions based on what I believe to be true and right, and love as hard as I can. And really, that's enough for me. If this one life is all I have I want to do it right and do it with love. Because at the end of the day that's what I believe in and focus everything on- love and love and love.
Thank you for reading my thoughts. <3

Guthrie, Royals can't beat pair of Indians' jacks
Right-hander allows go-ahead two-run shot following KC's big 5th
CLEVELAND -- Aw, nuts.
It could have been a Monday evening for light baseball comedy with a squirrel settling on the field during the second inning. The furry creature eluded the umpires and plopped down in the outfield to watch a few plays. Then the grounds crew chased him around to the guffaws and cheers of 10,789 fans at Progressive Field.
"Around that squirrel, there was a baseball game," the Royals' Billy Butler pointed out.
Yes and, in the end, it was the Cleveland Indians who had the last laugh with a 4-3 victory on the strength of two-run homers by Michael Brantley and Jason Kipnis. It was the Royals' second straight loss following a five-game winning streak.
For interested nature lovers, the squirrel was shooed off the field by the groundskeepers for good after the second inning and never did return.
"That little joker was frolicking," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "He was out there during batting practice, too. Big ol' red fox squirrel. I don't know where he came from."
"It was really funny," Butler said. "He just wanted to hang around, he didn't want to leave."
Initially, the critter was chased into the Royals' bullpen but reappeared and, after the next half-inning, was herded into the Indians' bullpen beyond center field.
Cleveland's relievers did what they could to help the squirrel wranglers.
"I was like, 'Bring it in here. Bring it in here. Get him out of harm's way,'" reliever Cody Allen said. "I didn't want [center fielder Michael Bourn] to be running back on a fly ball, look down and a squirrel be there. I don't think you can review that play."
After things no longer were quite so squirrelly, the baseball game continued.
Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie gave up a double to Kipnis in the fourth and Brantley followed with his drive over the right-field wall. In the sixth, it was a double by Nick Swisher followed by another blast to right, this one by Kipnis.
"I left the changeup up to Brantley, and he did a nice job and he drove it. The one to Kipnis was a bad pitch, a slider that hung in the middle of the plate," Guthrie said.
"The two homers are what did the damage but, outside of that, I thought he threw the ball well," Yost said.
In between the home runs, in the fifth inning, the Royals conjured up three runs to briefly hold a 3-2 lead against right-hander Zach McAllister.
Mike Moustakas and Alcides Escobar opened the inning with back-to-back doubles for the first run. McAllister fielded Jarrod Dyson's bunt and threw the ball past first baseman Swisher for an error, allowing Escobar to score. Later, Omar Infante singled in Dyson.
Even so, McAllister wound up a winner with a 3-0 record.
"The one inning that he gave up some contact and we had a couple missteps, he kept making pitches and he didn't come unglued," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "And then, he went back out and pitched good again."
After McAllister left, the Royals got zip-a-de-do-da against three Indians relievers, giving their bullpen a streak of 10 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings.
Mixed in with the squirrel antics, three Tribe errors and those two home runs was some dazzling defensive work by the Royals, especially Escobar.
His prize play was a remarkable catch that ended the sixth inning. He raced from near second base all the way into foul territory, well past third base, to grab Jason Giambi's popup just inches from the ground while sliding on the rubberized track.
"That was really a hard play, wow," Escobar said. "I was playing behind second base and got to it on the third-base side, a foul ball. Wow."
Well, he certainly wowed his manager.
"Man, I don't know if you're going to see a better catch than that, really. That was just a phenomenal play," Yost said.
Escobar also collaborated with center fielder Dyson to cut down David Murphy at the plate in the third inning. Dyson gathered up a double by Swisher and fed Escobar, who threw a strike to catcher Salvador Perez, ending the inning.
"The relay throw to cut the first runner down at the plate was a tremendous play," Yost said. "Gordy [Alex Gordon] made a couple of great plays out in left, Nori [Aoki] made a couple real nice plays in right. Really good defensive game."
Escobar's RBI double also raised his batting average to .305.
"Esky's putting it all together -- offense, defense. He's just doing everything, playing great," Yost said.
Infante with two hits got his average up to .297 and Gordon, also with a single and a double, improved to .294.
There were enough positives to allow Yost to throw out some good-natured parting comments about the squirrel.
"They could have got him for trespassing because I doubt if he bought a ticket," he said. "And that's the first time I've seen a spectator run on the field where they didn't tackle him and arrest him."
It was a nutty night.

Despite holding the advantage in shots, the Liberty Lady Flames field hockey team fell, 1-0, to No. 14 Delaware in a NCAA Tournament play-in game on Wednesday afternoon at Rullo Stadium.
With the loss, Liberty sees its 12-game winning streak snapped and finishes its season with a 17-5 record, marking the most wins in program history. The Lady Flames captured their second consecutive NorPac East Division title this season and upset No. 10 Stanford in the NorPac Tournament title game, earning a berth in the NCAA Tournament in just their third season as a program. Delaware (17-4) advances to face No. 3 seed North Carolina on Saturday in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Delaware kept control of the match throughout the first five minutes of play, but it didn't take long for the momentum to turn in favor of the Lady Flames. Liberty notched the first shot of the contest in the sixth minute of play. Serena Barr dumped a pass into the center of the circle to Natalie Barr. The sophomore ripped a reverse shot on cage, but Blue Hens' goalkeeper Sarah Scher kicked the ball away for the save.
Liberty's defense turned up the pressure following Barr's shot. The Lady Flames frustrated Delaware's backline with a tight press which led to three more shots in the first frame for Natalie Barr.
With 16:50 showing on the game clock, Natalie Barr received a pass from the right baseline from Jordan Richardson. Barr went one-on-one with Scher, but sailed a shot wide of the cage.
The Blue Hens forced the match's first penalty corner for either team with six minutes remaining in the opening stanza. Michaela Patzner lined a shot on cage from the top of the circle, only to have the attempt knocked away by Liberty's goalkeeper Ann Jefferis.
Delaware missed a golden scoring opportunity as the game approached halftime. The Blue Hens had a two-on-one breakaway against Jefferis. Meghan Winesett received a pass near the right post, but her shot bounced wide of the open cage.
Liberty forced its only penalty corner of the contest just before the half. Serena Barr ripped a shot toward the goal, but it was blocked by the Delaware defense, sending the game to the halftime break deadlocked at zero.
The Lady Flames opened the second half with three shots in the first 7:30. Ashlee Krulock and Natalie Barr had shots turned away by Scher, before Barr sent a shot high.
The Blue Hens nearly took the lead midway through the final frame off of their second penalty corner of the contest. Winesett knocked a shot toward the right corner of the cage, but Natalie Barr swatted the ball out of the air for the defensive save, keeping Delaware off the scoreboard.
Liberty's defense withstood three consecutive penalty corners beginning at the 16:35 mark. The Blue Hens notched just two shot attempts during the corner opportunities, with none of the shots ending up on goal.
Delaware scored what ended up being the game-winning goal with 5:40 remaining in the contest. Off of a short corner attempt, Kasey Prettyman knocked a shot in from the right side of the circle off of a pass from Heather Hartman.
Sarah Gipe notched two shots in the final minutes of play for the Lady Flames, but the visitors were unable to tally the equalizer as the Blue Hens claimed the victory.
For the contest, Liberty outshot Delaware, 11-8, while the Blue Hens held the advantage in penalty corners, 6-1. In goal, Jefferis ended the game with two saves for the Lady Flames. Scher recorded six stops as the Blue Hens set a new single-season program record for victories with 17.

When HP acquired Palm last year, it seemed obvious that the company's webOS platform would be used exclusively on HP hardware. But at the D9 conference last month, HP indicated that the company would consider licensing the software to other hardware manufacturers that are interested in building devices that complement HP's product lineup.
The possibility of third-party webOS devices is looking even more likely this week. HP has confirmed rumors that it is in talks with a number of companies regarding potential webOS licensing deals. In a statement to This is My Next, HP's Jon Rubenstein said that the company is looking for partners who are willing to make a serious commitment to the platform and potentially contribute to development efforts. They aren't going to make a deal with just anybody, and they aren't going to do it in a hurry.
Citing three unnamed individuals who are said to be close to be close to the licensing discussions, Bloomberg reports that Samsung is interested in licensing webOS from HP to use as an alternative to Android on its tablet products. The Bloomberg article speculates that Samsung could be looking for more flexibility for customization. There is no official confirmation of Samsung's involvement in webOS licensing talks at this time.
HP has lofty ambitions for webOS and aims to bring the platform to a wide range of different hardware products, including desktop computers and printers. Despite the platform's numerous strengths, it faces an uphill battle competing against Android's existing entrenchment. Winning over a major Android hardware vendor to webOS might help HP pursue its goals, but it would also risk eroding the value of having an exclusive platform.

The following was written by Joshua for Telling the Stories that Matter.
Francis was well-acquainted with the highways and byways of the British Colonies in North America. This wasn't because he was native to the land. No, Francis had been born in England–Staffordshire to be precise–to parents who were associated with the fledgling methodist movement within the Church of England. He only moved to the colonies after he had become a minister and accepted a calling and commission to be a missionary there. His familiarity with the many roads and paths in the land that would eventually be called the United States of America was not due to his social status within the territories. He did not simply sit back and look at maps and engage in artful political maneuvers. Throughout his life and ministry he was forever moving and always about the business of God. When he was asked what his approach to ministry was, he said "I'm going to live for God and get others so to do." Instead, Francis' familiarity with the highways and byways of the nation were due to use and due to the many miles he committed into God's hands as he traveled ceaselessly to preach and minister.
Francis wasn't the only methodist minister at work in the colonies but as the altercation that would later be called the "Revolutionary War" began to heat up and spill over into bloodshed, British ministers returned home for fear of reprisals.Francis, however, stayed where he was even as every other methodist minister returned to England. Eventually, he was the only one of his kind in the territory. This added to his workload but did not deter him from his mission. As worldly powers waged war over money, territory, and pride, Francis was proclaiming the Kingdom of God every night and every day as he rode horseback from meeting to meeting.While war was waged withbullets and blades, Francis engaged in spiritual guerrilla tactics in a world that opposed the Gospel he preached and professed. He preached anywhere that could hold the larger and larger crowds that flocked to him and often found himself preaching one of his powerful sermons in a field.
Francis Asbury traveled an average of 6,000 miles a year on horseback to preach and proclaim a faith that had clearly gripped him and motivated him to reach out to a world in need of good news. He was bishop to many ministers and spiritual director to many of the faithful. After his ministry, the number of people who could point to Francis as a spiritual father, guide, or mentor was nearly 214,000. This was up from the 1,200 or so that claimed methodist influence before the war. Methodism had grown in and even found a home on foreign soil. Though Francis had been the only one to stay through the war, there were over 700 ordained methodist ministers in the United States of America when Francis died.Francis Asbury died a leader and bishop of God's people in a land that was not his own by birth or blood but that had been claimed with every fall of his horse's hooves.

About Meetings
We meet every Tuesday at 8 PM US/Pacific at 2169 Mission St., San Francisco
Every week, Noisebridge meets to discuss issues relevant to our community. The meeting is for members and non-members alike: everyone is welcome.
Agenda items tend to typically include introductions, updates on projects happening in the space and upcoming events. Meetings normally end with general socializing and in depth discussion of any topics brought up earlier. If you have a topic that you'd like to discuss at next week's meeting, please add it to the agenda.
Meetings -- like all things -- at Noisebridge operate by consensus. If you've never seen consensus in action before, you may find your first meeting much less perplexing if you read about consensus first.
Meeting Notes
At every meeting, someone takes notes so that we have some idea what's happened. Secretaribot should do this automatically, but if there isn't a page for next week's meeting, Use the Meeting Notes Template to create a new agenda for next week.

Think of how fiestaware made its return in much brighter and modern colors, but kept to the lines and appeal of the original.
That puts you in the right mindset to appreciate how the one-time desert escape for Hollywood paparazzi in the mid-20th Century got a facelift and more when the circa 1956 Hotel Valley Ho of Scottsdale reopened in 2005.
It's not just that you are close to Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home. The decorative concrete reliefs and many diamond and V-shapes do trace to a Wright influence. Although large ego Frank Lloyd Wright didn't much mention the student who dared to line up work on his home turf, this student and the original architect, Edward Varney, was obviously influenced by his teacher.
You can see it in the original lobby design and also in the 21st Century remodeled update.
Aesthetically the appeal of Hotel Valley Ho is in how the architects of the remodeling, Allen & Philp, obviously took painstaking care to preserve the Mid-century modern look with Eames-like interior touches throughout that make it thoroughly modern at the same time.
Many hotels tout that they are "green" but this is probably one of the few, if not the only, that can boast saving more than 30,000 tons of debris that would have gone to a landfill if there had not been such painstaking preservation effort.
The look starts with the colors and typography on the Hotel Valley Ho sign harkening to the Mid-Century Modern era. Walk inside and you'll see that the lobby center has a stone lit fire and ample comfortable seating.
Look into the rooms and you'll see that everything has clean design lines.
These are design elements that announce themselves boldly as anti-clutter.
Amenity-wise there is nothing lacking. Café Zuzu (reviewed separately in Splash) has an appealing menu of straightforward food cooked sensitively and with full flavor.
Café Zuzu's lounge is inviting.
There is a full-service spa, including ongoing exercise classes.
Best yet, what Hotel Valley Ho has going for it is location, location, location. Back in the day it may have been a remote spot in Scottsdale. Now it is central to Scottsdale—a city of many destinations—and a great springboard for getting around.
You are steps away from the weekly artwalk.
You not only have Café ZuZu but you are steps away from the cutting edge cuisine of The House, amongst many dozens of other great restaurants of all types in walking distance.
It's a relatively quick drive to Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesen West and from there a short sprint to legendary Paolo Soleri's Cosanti.
When world-class golf tournaments, the Superbowl (2015) or baseball's spring training season arrives you will likely find it difficult to get a room at Hotel Valley Ho. Think to book ahead so you don't miss out on this architectural treasure and happening place. See the Hotel Valley Ho website.

Every New Year's Eve my friends and I try to predict the future. We speculate on who will get married or pregnant, who will win the super bowl, whose Hollywood career will implode. We write it all down, read last year's predictions, and eat lots of soup. Its fun.
One of my NYs rezzies was to blog more. Clearly, I have been shirking the task – only two posts thus far. But I have a plan to catch up on my sharing shenanigans. I started another site called TinyTüts (short for tiny tutorials). Over the next few months I'm going to attempt to empty my brain into bite sized video morsels showing you how I do some of what I do.
I have no goal other than to share. If there's something you've been dying to know… CALL A DOCTOR! YOU'RE DYING! Then send me a message thru Twitter or Tumblr.

People today seem to be suffering from amnesia. Some believe that the government is engaged in some kind of alien conspiracy. But the truth is, the US government is doing exactly what they said they were going to do. It's just that it's been so long since they said it that people have forgotten.
What am I talking about? U.F.O.
I guess people have forgotten this rarely seen documentary from 1956, me included. It was on TV recently and I just happened to DVR it, without realizing what it was. I saw this documentary when I was a kid and it probably helped form my opinion about UFOs. This documentary told the story of how the US government got involved in investigating UFO reports. It included real stories, as reported by Project Sign, the government's public investigation of UFOs. Some of the actual witnesses appear in the documentary, even the famous General Ramey from the Roswell story.
Project Sign was closed down because every time one of the investigators went to cover a UFO report, he was surrounded by news reporters, who would then go off and write sensationalist stories, filled with wild accusations of things like death rays and alien attacks, none of which was true. These news reports scared the crap out of people who would then demand answers which the government did not have. So the government realized that in order to perform an objective investigation of the phenomena, without interference, they had to take them into the black. Project Sign ended and Project Grudge began.
One of my favorite UFO stories is in this documentary, the Washington Merry-Go-Round. This appropriately named series of incidents in the mid 1950's included numerous UFOs sighted over the capital, and included several interactions between our aircraft and the UFOs. These craft had been sighted over several days buzzing around D.C. and had gotten the attention of the military and Intel establishment in Washington. In the final encounter, there was about a dozen of these craft that showed up on ground control approach radar and were spotted by civilian aircraft.
The incident grew more and more intense. The craft swarmed around an airliner whose pilot radioed in for help. The Air Force scrambled fighter jets to intercept but as soon as the jets came into range of the UFOs they flew away, probably flying above the ionosphere which our radar cannot penetrate. As soon as the fighter jets left the area the UFOs returned. Then, about a half dozen of the UFOs began approaching the airliner and circling around it, coming closer and closer until the pilot thought they were going to crash into him. Then suddenly, the UFOs moved off and flew away.
It was quite a remarkable incident, and it was reported to the public by government officials. No conspiracy. But what did it all mean? Well, quite obviously, these aliens were making a statement. They were saying, "Hi. We see you. You got our attention, especially since you started using nuclear weapons." Very clever, they did not want to provoke an attack. That's why they would not engage the fighter jets. They, instead, approached an unarmed airliner, trying to judge our aggressiveness, plus making a statement not to our military but to our civilians. "Your military cannot protect you." I'm sure they also wanted to know how we would respond to a species with higher technology. They needed to know what threat we posed, no, not in the sense of us attacking them but in the sense that we might stumble into their territory and screw up their interests, other planets perhaps. We do the same thing here on Earth.
If you think about it, this is very clever. They don't have to make contact with us to make us aware of their capabilities and their intent, and that they are in control, not us. If we attack them they will respond, and they have shot down our aircraft several times to prove it. So we better not attack them, or else. And all this communication happening without saying one word. Clever. Advanced intelligence kind of clever.
It makes perfect sense. They think of us like we think of a pack of wild dogs. The biggest, meanest dog is the leader and he will prove it on a regular basis, attacking the other dogs and forcing them into submission, or ripping them to shreds. It's just the way nature works. And that is probably why they didn't land on the White House lawn. And I doubt they ever will. Of course the government realizes all of this and they are frightened by it. So you see why they aren't going to tell us about it. They don't have many answers, just speculations.
Hiflier's cause of asking ETs to show themselves is a noble one, but wishful thinking if he expects them to actually do it. People want ET to come and share wisdom but any wisdom they would share you can bet would be in support of their own agenda. They don't want to talk to us anymore than we want to talk to the cows or frogs. They only want to make sure that we don't get out of line and threaten their authority, or their business plan. The smartest thing we can do is quietly bide our time and develop our own technology until the day we can meet as equals. Then maybe we can bite their neck. And I think this is exactly what the government has been doing, putting that desert to good use.
I'm betting that there is a hierarchy of species out there and they don't all get along, and they've all probably gone through this process, starting out as the dog that needs to be taught who is running things.
Suddenly, a lot of things come into focus. For example, our space program was twisted into a satellite delivery service (Orbital Parcel Service) because as long as we are stuck in our own backyard we are no threat to ET. We don't want to provoke them. And the moment we start showing up in their neighborhood you can bet on a response, and it probably won't work out too well for us. "Wars are won in factories", and this means that we can only win if we are able to out-produce them technologically. And that won't likely happen any time soon. It reminds me of Inter-locus Contest Evolution. The little Y-chromosome has to run and hide, because if it didn't it would get clobbered by the X. Think of us as the little, pesky Y and ET as the big bad X. Don't mess with mamma.

Blonde bomb: All bend, no snap
On paper, Legally Blonde was a recipe for disaster: There's like, this blonde sorority girl who's like, totally self-absorbed, but she turns the blonde jokes on their head when she proves to be like, really smart and goes to Harvard Law School and wins her first court case with a combination of brains and specialized knowledge of beauty products and stuff.
A really witty script that brought out Reese Witherspoon's best qualities made it one of the best comedies of recent years, when it might have been corny, cutesy, hokey, contrived, and sentimental.
Now along comes Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, and it's everything we were afraid the first movie would be, which makes it one of the biggest disappointments of recent years. You could say it has bend but no snap.
Elle Woods (Witherspoon) is out of school and on the verge of promotion at her first job with a prestigious law firm. She's also preparing to marry Emmett (Luke Wilson), the Mr. Right she found at Harvard.
Brace yourself for this one, because it's necessary to set the plot in motion. Elle wants to invite the biological mother of her Chihuahua, Bruiser, to the wedding, so she hires a detective to find her. Bruiser's mom is a prisoner in a lab, where she's being used for cosmetics testing. When Elle protests, it turns out the lab is owned by one of her firm's clients, and she's fired.
On the theory that you should change the law, not fight it, Ms. Woods goes to Washington as a legislative aide to Rep. Rudd (Sally Field). After all, Elle won't stand for animal abuse sitting down, as a certain Washington resident would probably say if he addressed the topic. Just like at Harvard, everyone misjudges "Capital Barbie," and Elle has to win them over one by one.
While gradually earning the respect of the office staff, Elle also has to work on some powerful committee members if "Bruiser's Bill," her law to ban animal testing in the cosmetics industry, is ever going to get to the floor. It's as easy as things can only be for Elle. First she gets the support of grouchy Texan Libby Hauser (Dana Ivey), then conservative Alabaman and NRA spokesman Stanford Marks (Bruce McGill).
She bonds with the latter over the fact they both have gay dogs (which neither ever noticed until his Rottweiler tries to mount Elle's Chihuahua). The gay dog thing was pretty funny on South Park five years ago. Hell, it's one of the funniest things in this movie, but that still doesn't make it very funny.
Despite her good start, Elle has more setbacks in store, but you know she'll triumph in the end. You didn't buy a ticket to watch her lose. That a climactic scene involves a phone tree rather than email for mobilization makes you wonder if this script hasn't been sitting around for 10 years or so.
Jennifer Coolidge, Jessica Cauffiel, Alanna Ubach, and (very briefly) Bruce Thomas are back from the first film. Selma Blair, who was said to be Elle's best friend at the end, is not. New additions include Regina King– who looks as if she'd rather be somewhere else– and Bob Newhart, who barely avoids embarrassing himself.
Oh, I laughed at an occasional line, like when Elle says, "Is bill-writing superfun or what?" but mostly I wished I was wherever King wished she was.
Director Charles Herman-Wurmfeld (Kissing Jessica Stein) is the bland leading the blonde.
The best thing about Legally Blonde 2 (or maybe not) is that it made me appreciate Nathan Lane's lame Washington-set sitcom Charlie Lawrence.

Forget golden sandy beaches and swaying palm trees, the reality of solitude is different for some of the worlds most remote islands.
Rockall (Irish: Rocal) is a small uninhabited, remote rocky island 270 miles from Ireland, and is the tip of an extinct volcano reaching 65 feet above sea level, with waves recorded as high as 29 meters (95 feet).
Rockall Island is one of the seven islands that have been voted most dangerous, according to CNN Travel.
Rockall has also been a point of interest for adventurers and amateur radio operators who have variously landed on or occupied the island for up to several months, although fewer than 20 individuals have ever been confirmed to have landed on Rockall.
The ownership of Rockall is disputed as the island is claimed by Denmark (for the Faroe Islands), Iceland, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
All four governments have made submissions to the commission set up under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The issue was included in the provisional agenda of the meeting of the commission to be held in New York from 7 March to 21 April 2011 and recommendations pursuant to Article 76 of the Convention were made.
Other islands included in the votes were Tristan da Cunha, 1, 750 miles away from South Africa is the world's most remote inhabited island chain, according to CNN Travel.
Bear Island is the southernmost island in the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, 400 miles north of mainland Europe and has been a nature reserve since 2002.
Bouvet, 1,000 miles from Antarctica and its cliffs are sheer. It's almost entirely covered by a glacier. In winter, its seas are pack ice.
Bishop Rock, 30 miles from England is regarded by Guinness as the world's smallest island with a building on it.
Boreway, 60 miles away from mainland Scotland and is one of Scotland's five World Heritage sites, with a main island that was abandoned in the 1930s.
CNN Travel reports that North Sentinel Island, 400 miles from Myanmar is surrounded by dangerous reefs, but North Sentinel is intimidating because of its inhabitants.

Serious watch enthusiasts prefer automatic watches because of its reputation as the "genuine article". Fine watch making is considered to be an art form and watch purists who appreciate the complexity of a fine-tuned machine will only consider buying an automatic watch. They last a lifetime and are cherished heirlooms for many generations. Some of these automatic watches have become highly sought after collectibles by watch aficionados worldwide.
Automatic watches replaced the original manual winding watches of yesteryear. This self winding mechanism was originally invented by Abraham-Louis Perrelet in 1770 for use in pocket watches. Early watch making technology required the watch wearer to keep winding their watch every 10 to 24 hours to keep accurate time. An automatic movement is similar to that original mechanism with the addition of a 'rotor', an eccentric weight which winds the internal mainspring using the natural motion of the watch wearers arm. The fully wound automatic watch can store enough energy reserve to keep accurate time for about 48 hours allowing it keep working overnight while not in motion. Most automatic watches can also be wound by turning the crown manually so it can run precisely while not worn.
The earliest version of the self winding automatic wristwatch appeared immediately after the First World War when wristwatches originally became popular. It was perfected by a watch repairer named John Harwood in the early 1920's.
Automatic Watches require a little more loving care than the popular quartz movements but are considered more eco friendly since they do not run on batteries. Here at Ashford.com we strive to make your shopping experience for that unique Automatic watch as pleasurable as possible. We stock a varied and extensive selection of self winding Automatic Watches from a wide range of well known luxury brands at greatly discounted prices and we offer free shipping with no minimum order. That is a winning combination and translates to great savings for our customers.

This article is also available and sold as a booklet.
Yet according to the Bible, today you could be in danger of being left behind to face a far more terrifying plight: God's final judgment on earth. It's in the prophetic book of Revelation that God describes His plan for gathering His own children to safety and pouring out terrifying judgment on those who don't belong to Him.
Is it too late to be rescued? What does God have to say to those who would be left behind if He returned today? In the same book that spells out His judgment, God issues one last invitation—a final call for those who are unsure about the future and who don't want to be left stranded. That's the focus of John MacArthur's Final Call study from Revelation 22.

A research firm says sales of million-dollar homes in California fell for a fourth straight year in 2009 to its lowest level in seven years.
MDA DataQuick said Thursday that more than 18,600 homes sold for at least $1 million last year. That's down 24 percent from 2008 and down 66 percent from its peak in 2005.
The most expensive California home sold last year went for $26.5 million -- a 23,000-square-foot place in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles.
Hillsborough in the San Francisco Bay area posted 261 million-dollar sales, more than any other community. It was just ahead of Manhattan Beach and San Diego's La Jolla area
