Do you really think Vertigo would greenlight a series if it was the level of a college paper?
And I don't think you can say whether or not it's a polished complete story until it has finished it's 10-issue run.
You are being pessimistic, you're letting the negative aspects of the series overshadow the positive.

they greenlit Greek Street and it is below the level of a college paper.
The negative is a big one in my eyes.

by Old Man » Wed Mar 10, 2010 2:04 pmI took a day trip today.
I went to the LCS and almost got in an accident in their parking lot. Some jackass was sitting in the drive, then decided to back up to try to get a closer parking spot than he was almost pulling in to. His backup light weren't working. As I didn't know he was backing up, I was still coasting forward, thinking he was going to park. I had to blow my horn to get him to stop. I don't think he was looking behind. When we had both parked, I politely told him that his backup lights weren't working. He gave me a non-committal shrug like he already knew that.
Should I have killed him?
After the comics shop, I went to get lunch. I stopped at Popeye's Chicken and got their chicken nuggets. Ate them. Not filling at all. So I stopped at Del Tacos and got a cheeseburger. Pulled up to the drive through window, and the woman called me Hon. I like that. She wasn't from the southern part of the country where they say that all the time. She was nice looking. I stared her right in the eye, which I like to do to women sometimes. Makes them nervous. Nah, I'm not a stalker. Just like to act like one sometimes. In any case, she maybe liked it...her pointers stiffened right up.
Seriously, should I have killed that guy in the parking lot?
After lunch, I went to my favorite health food store. (Yeah, kinda odd that I go to a health food store after eating fast food.) They were closed. Not just closed as in not open. Closed as in out of business. Dammit.
Now I really want to go back and kill that guy.
On my way home, I stopped at a Dollar General store. Dollar General is quite common in my area. They are not a dollar store, but they do have bargains. Last week, they had some Fruit of the Loom Marvel Super-Hero T-shirts for $6. A couple weeks before that, they had Breyer's Ice Cream pints for $2.35. (I had Butter Pecan.) And for the last several weeks, they had Gemstone Disney Comics for $1. One buck for comics that were cover priced at $6.95, $7.95, and $8.95! It appears that all the stores got the same comics, but different stores have none at all. This one had none. Dammit!
I think next week I'll get to the LCS early and wait for that guy to show up. I'll ask if he got his backup lights fixed. If he says no, what do you think Imma gonna do?
The comic? 5. The lyrics made no sense, and the beat wasn't hot enough to dance to.

For the first time since Street Fighter Turbo, I don't care to re-read this book before reviewing. That was a pointless exercise in manufactured melodrama that lacked the depth of emotional resonance that a more well-written story built around the same themes of birth, loss, and death could have. The dialogue is stilted and unnatural, it does nothing to help the reader understand these characters or bring them to life. Forgetting Bras himself, the female characters are so poorly constructed I found myself asking if the author likes women at all? The wife is flighty and possibly addled, or just, as the least important person in the story, written as an afterthought. The mother is narcissistic and demanding, and the half-sister seems distant and depressed but doesn't actually seem to have any purpose at all, either in the story or as a fictional person. Speaking of pointless, on the last page, the main character's heart just stops beating and as he passively and obediently expires, the text boxes read like an excerpt from a church bulletin recounting a recent loss of a congregant.
It would be depressing if it weren't utterly lifeless. I guess I should count my blessings.
(And the art was decent but not noteworthy beyond that nod.)

Been awhile, unfortunately life throws a few curve balls once in a while. So this post isn't "security related" but still can be useful for some.
In any letter campaign, a few keys to success are to have a good letter, proper English and staying polite. This last point is difficult at times when one is campaigning for something they take to heart. Staying polite will usually insure that the receiving person will keep on reading. A perfect example is "theprez98" recent letter to MIS Training Institute concerning their 2nd Annual ICT Security Africa Summit. So I've taken the liberty of using theprez98's letter and modified it for Greg's latest conference appearance the 2011 Techno Forensics Conference. All one needs to do is sign and send to the email address provided by attrition's recent tweet.
Good day,
I noted with particular interest on your homepage (http://www.technoforensicsconference.com/) that you have Mr. Gregory Evans listed as one of the speakers for the "Digital Forensics Conference" this November (http://techno-forensics.com/agenda).
Mr. Evans proudly claims his status as an ex-hacker (and ex-felon), but there is a much deeper (and more recent) history that you should consider before allowing Mr. Evans to speak. I would like to point you to a web page (http://attrition.org/errata/charlatan/gregory_evans/) that details multiple issues with Mr. Evans conduct over the past few years, including multiple counts of plagiarism, multiple legal and financial issues, multiple lies about the certifications he holds, and much more. Added to that, Mr. Evans has repeatedly threatened those who criticize him, and frequently claims any criticisms of him are attacks against his race.
Additionally, I would like to point you to the video from CBS News Atlanta, who exposed much of Mr. Evans fraud this past February. This video can be viewed here: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3Ms8UZnOoA).
I believe that after learning more about Mr. Evans background, you will come to the conclusion that it is not worth the reputation of your conference to extend him an invitation. Mr. Evans is a stain on the computer security industry and that stain goes with everything he touches. Please do not allow your conference to be blighted by Mr. Evans association.
Please note that I have nothing to gain from writing this email except the assurance that I did the right thing in letting you know about Mr. Evans' past.
<Your name here>
If you wish, you can just copy past and sign your name at the end. Here is the e-mail address you could send it to: jkirkpatrick[at]viconpublishing.com
As mentioned on the theprez98's site. I also have nothing to gain from this, nor has Mr.Evans ever contacted me etc etc etc.
oops, forgot thx theprez98 for this. You really did write a proper letter (e-mail) for this type of thing.
<ps: I just woke up here, no my english may not be great at the moment.>

Frugal install to CF card in IDE adapter. Why so different?
Can anyone offer a little advice in using the puppy universal installer to copy to a CF card in an IDE adapter?
I tried to use the universal installer to create a frugal install of puppy 431 onto a CF card in an ide adapter in place of a 2.5" hard drive inside my laptop.
I ended up with a running system, but not how I wanted. Somehow the grub folder and menu.lst were missing, (not sure how it succeeded in booting but it did...) and it all went very differently to other frugal installs I have done on normal internal IDE drives.
For instance it started making comments about "checking if your pc really is capable of booting from usb".
Also, it did not give the option of choosing between frugal and full. Instead it simply put all the files on sda1 instead of within a folder.
It also suggested putting the MBR in place via syslinux or other programs. This was very different to the MBR dialog I normally see. (so I just chose the recommended syslinux option)
I chose this "install to CF card in ide adapter" option thinking it might be tailored to best handle the different DMA requirements of a CF versus a normal hard disk. However I had expected it to be identical in all other respects to a normal IDE hard disk install.
If I run this installer option and end up with no grub folder I have no idea how to configure multiple puppies as frugals.
I suppose it's possible that this CF/IDE install option was originally tailored to allow the files to be copied to a very small CF card that would only have room for a full install of a single op system rather than multiple co-existing frugals, but I also wonder if there is some bug in the installer that makes this CF/IDE selection link incorrectly to the install routine intended for a usb stick.
Any suggestions if it is working as intended or if there is some problem here? Why so different to the IDE hard disk install? thanks.

If I understand you right, you want to install Grub and some Puppies (frugal) to your CF card.
Usually I don't use Puppy Universal Installer in this case.
I use Grub bootloader config for installing Grub (simple method is OK) on CF (to MBR), create my folders for the puppies, copy vmlinuz, initrd.gz and puppy.sfs to each folder and edit the menu.lst. No need for PUI or anything else.
Usually you can't make a full install to CF, SD or usb stick. IIRC the reason is about reducing write access. Maybe there is a workaround but I never was interested of doing a full install.
Ich verwende "frugal", und das ist gut so.
Raspberry Pi without Puppy? No, thanks.

Thanks Rolf, that seems like a nice straightforward way to do it.
Would that work from a live cd environment? Would I just grab the vmlinux etc off the cd or "pluck" them out of the correct folder in the ram filesystem?
I guess I've been trying the universal installer because it knows more than I do.
thanks for the help.

If you went with the syslinux option, then that's what you get. Syslinux does the booting, and grub has not been installed.
As suggested, you can then try installing grub from your running system or via a live CD. Make a folder then copy the files from the CD or the hard drive or where everyou fancy.
I know the CF to IDE adapter install used to be problematic (did it a few years ago, and it took me ages....) as the installer wasn't very good at it. Don't know if it has changed, as I just do manual frugal installs these days.

thanks keef.
the thing is - I didnt really want to go with syslinux... it was just the option that came up, and was completely different to what a normal IDE install offers as an option.
I'm trending toward the manual frugal idea now, but I think people who are even more newbies than me (if such a thing is possible) might find this CF/IDE installer much more confusing than the standard HDD/IDE install routine, and of course it's hard for a newbie to grasp the manual frugal idea early on.

You've brought a really important point, greengeek, and one that I believe is the biggest chink in the 'Puppy install' armoury. [EDIT well that's a bit dramatic, given the ol' PCMCIA cd boot hassles and the separated Puppy and GRUB installs that trip up noobies]
Why bother with IDE adapters for CF/SD cards when any USB-flash drive will do for the typical user? Well, am I wrong in thinking that IDE usually has a faster transfer rate than USB - not counting USB3.0- and is probably the only option for dated hardware lacking USB functionality (e.g., Satellite Pro 430CDS). And for RAM/CPU-limited systems, isn't a "full" install more efficient than "frugal"? We're probably trying to wring blood from silicone here, but isn't that what Puppy Linux is all about???
I hope to use a memory card adapter to swap a Puppy system between old laptops and desktops, mainly for kids' entertainment. Although the options appear to be there in the Universal Installer (I've only ever used frugal in the past, with Grub1 - but now am struggling with full installs without any Grub required - just like my PATA HD's) - there seems to be a mismatch in the install process such that the SD/CF is set as "pmedia=usbflash" that borks every boot unless you manually change the kernel line in menu.lst to "pmedia=idehd". CF/SD-card-on-IDE installs seem to be a problem that has never really been addressed properly. Has anyone had better luck?

One thing I have been wondering about is whether USB sticks have the same problem as CF cards in the sense of not liking write cycles. I would imagine they use the same kind of memory chips, so I expect they would both want "write-back" cycles minimised.
If that is the case, then maybe that is why the universal installer seems to confuse the two types - ie when doing an install to an "internal IDE adapter containing a CF card" the installer seems to treat it like a USB stick.
And yet, when you want the system to minimise write cycles during boot and normal usage, it insists that the CF be treated as if it were a HDD.
I need to redo a lot of my CF install trials to clarify things. As time goes on I have learnt a bit more so I will revist this at some point and see what else I can figure out.
Like you I have been trying to make use of some older Toshiba laptops and really like the idea of simply swapping out CF cards to change the "personality" of each machine.

You are using the Puppy Universal Installer in Puppy 4.3.1.
There have been updates and bug fixes to this installer. The newer version is in newer versions of Puppy. May give you different results.
Try one of the newer Puppies, based on version 5 series.
For old hardware,
Wary 5.2.2
would be a good one to try.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

That might be a plan, bigpup - I've only tried it so far lately with sc0ttman's Akita beta 6 - forgot that it was an upgraded 420 build and not a retro-fitted Wary. Perhaps starhawks' PupMini 100 might be a good bet for testing (Wary5.11
), as he is looking into the CF/ide adapter situation as well, I believe.
I can report however that I had sidder's HSB412 and HSB431 pupplets (e.g.,
) working on SD and CF cards "happily" with the "pmedia=idehd" fix. Dunno if the systems that I had were ever optimised for proper solid-state drive use, as greengeek highlights in his earlier post.

Just two wild suggestions.
1. An installer have a script that ask choices.
The Dev have to anticipate, guess what the
new user may want to do. So that fails at times.
My personal solution which may not suite everybody
is to never do such installs. To always do manual installs
where you read a step for step how to manually do the install.
Edit ICPUG reminds me of how successful his version is.
I have used it several times and can recommend it.
Thanks for reminding me to link to Lin'n Win
Sometimes it can work if you use grub4dosconfig program
and then after the install correct the name of the menu.lst
and check if it got the correct partition for MS Windows
in case it has a hidden recovery that the program fail to see.
I think one expect too much or the Dev promise too much
that a script will know what the user have in mind.
2. Why CF may be different. Sometimes they are SCSI connected? They have CF card readers that need
drivers that Linux still have no good versions of.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

+1 to Nooby point 1.
There are so many different combinations of hardware, type of install, OS to dual boot that any automatic procedure to cater for everything is almost impossible.
My interest, like Nooby, is dual booting with Windows on a hard drive. The manual Lin'N'Win approach that I developed for this and the subsequent automated version of it from Noryb0009 or Crash has pretty much covered that specific combination, although it is not part of the PUI. But it will fail when Windows 8 arrives, until it gets extended (if possible). It fails also if it is tried AFTER grub legacy or grub2 has already taken over the booting process from Windows.
The best we can do is say that given a specific set of hardware/OS/type of install then this or that installation process is the one to follow.
I have never seen it written what cases the PUI is supposed to cope with and everyone assumes it will work in all cases. It would be nice to know what PUI WILL work with so that beginners do not go off in the wrong direction.
To get back to the original question - why is install to CF different from that to IDE hard disk - well different media have different constraints and therfore need different solutions. Flash has a write cycles limitation and slower than IDE. Bootloader choice is a personal one. With Puppy, syslinux is usually used on CDs and grub on hard disks. Presumably, it was decided in the mist of time to choose syslinux for CF as being more suited. Not sure why it defaults to full install though. That seems a weird one if there is a write cycle limitation.

That Lin'n'Win project looks good. I will be needing to make use of that shortly for one member of my family who wants to dual boot frequently.

Thanks guys for your input. On the wild assumption that the recent rise in SSD's might provide clues on the CF/SD IDE adapter issue I've found some useful threads:
Puppy on a SSD drive (best settings for long life of SSD?)
Use NAND flash on a SSD Solid State Drive like USB stick
How to Make a Flash Drive Install Work Like a Hard Drive
grub entry for sata flash drive? [SOLVED]
rcrsn51 is again right on the ball with the issue, and as jemimah also has an interest in the matter I'm sure it won't be long before we'll see the standard Universal Installer with the entry "Install to internal flash drive (egs. CF or SD card, SSD)".

Just a quick update - after going through the links I posted in my previous message I added "pmedia=ataflash pupmode=13" to the kernel line in both the menu.lst and (shot in the dark here) the single-lined extlinux.conf ; Akita beta6+Grub4DOS (Wary-compatible Puppy420 build).
I don't know whether that is the ideal configuration for the CF card on an IDE adapter, and seems to be working fine on the system I'm using, though I note an unusual message just before X starts, something like "Loading 3 rules". So far, so good...

Post subject: Compact Flash memory controller
I'm also interested in CF drives because as I understand it, the memory controller is much like the SSDs, in which cells that are written to are reallocated dynamicly so as to reduce the 'wear' on any individual element.
All Nand memories have a limited number of writes, but there is no guarrentee that a cell in a USB Flash drive will not be written to more than others, causing it to pick up a bad block.

The Petraeus Affair: How we can deal with another public scandal
And of course, those of us who have walked in his wife Holly Petraeus' shoes are undoubtedly thinking..."oh really!" I highly doubt it. He might know how much pain it's causing him, having to resign from a job in which he's routinely celebrated, even having a now-infamous biography written about him.
He might know how horrible it feels to watch a loyal and supportive powerhouse wife deal with betrayal. Though publicly she's "furious", I suspect that privately she's brought to her knees – though I doubt for long.
But I don't think he knows how much pain this has caused.
I, however, do. I not only can imagine but know the excruciating moment when those gnawing gut feelings that something's not right are confirmed and I wish I could turn back the clock and un-know it. I know the shock of discovering that not only was the other woman sleeping with my husband, I was unwittingly in collusion – offering up support and the occasional meal, inviting her into my home. Just like Holly Petraeus.
And, perhaps, just like you.
So it's tempting to read everything you can, watch the news reports, listen to radio analysis. Tempting...but are we really learning anything we need to know?
Our view of the world is altered after betrayal. It feels unsafe. Everyone a potential enemy. Even now, close to six years past D-Day, I find myself veering into conspiracy theory territory. That nice woman I met at my kids' school? What if she's trying to be my friend to get to my husband! What if they're laughing behind my back at my idiocy?
I no longer just assume that things are what they seem to be.
Like the soldiers that Holly Petraeus and her husband championed, returning home to a world that will never look the same, betrayed wives have to seek out their safe place. I talk often of post-betrayal as post-trauma...and the experts back me up. Because of that, we need to protect ourselves from triggers. And learn to recognize when we're being triggered. What's happening now, no matter how much it might look like your betrayal, is Holly's.
We know affairs happen. Reading obsessively about this one doesn't make an affair any more or less likely than it already was.
We'd do better to leave the scandal to the vultures picking over the titillating details, and get back to focussing on our own lives. And offering up our support and compassion to Holly.
Welcome, Holly, to the club.

This whole Petraeus affair has taken an ironic spin for me. A very old friend of my FWH is my friend on Facebook. He is an academic Liberal. We often debate politics.ReplyDelete
His newest rant is "Why do Americans penalize men for having affairs? Petraeus' sex life has nothing to do with his job performance." He believes that just because someone lies about sex, it does not mean they will lie about anything else.
I wish I could just block his ass and let it go, but that's just not how I roll. I have been all over his FB page about this one, but what I haven't told him is this....maybe he should talk to his sister. She can speak to the issue of lies and character. She was my FWH's first affair 15 years ago. She was married at the time, too.
Wonder if he would think that behavior was OK?Replies
Sure there are people who cheat on their spouses who wouldn't cheat on their taxes, for example. But it's safe to say that those who are able to cheat on their spouses are more able to cheat/lie in other parts of their lives. In legal parlance, it shows a pattern of behaviour.Delete
Speaking specifically about Petraeus, there's a new report noting that Petraeus often wouldn't back down, even when confronted with evidence that he was lying about what was happening in Afghanistan. Here's the passage:
...But NATO in Afghanistan, with Petraeus at its head, would seldom admit mistakes.
In one widely publicized incident, Petraeus continued to insist that an airstrike that killed 17 people had targeted the right person, even after it had been demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt that the supposed target was still alive and well, and that those killed had been election workers on a campaign trip.
In PBS' "Frontline" program, correspondent Stephen Grey asked the general pointblank: "Can I just ask you how that operation came into being, what made you think this was the man that you were targeting?"
"Petraeus was caught red-handed getting it wrong and still would not back down," said Strick. "He was intent on allowing the operation to have the appearance of success, in order to give the United States the opportunity to leave Afghanistan while saving face."
Me again. So...there you go. He's able to lie to his wife...and reporters. I'm not suggesting he didn't do a lot of important work. That's not the point here. Just that people who lie...lie. And not necessarily in only one area of their life.

I find it ironic that the media and the military excoriate Jill Kelley for being an "influence peddler" but do not hold Paula Broadwell to the same standard. My husband's OW made a career of gathering influence (padding her own reputation as an "expert") by association with him (and others) as an acknowledged expert in his job. It came to a head when she was inviting herself to customer meetings and I insisted he did NOT need to attend. "But the Customer expects me there." Ok, then SHE does not need to be there. Either she's the expert she presents herself as (and didn't need his handholding) or she isn't (in which case, SHE shouldn't be there at all). It took him a long time to see that she was not an innocent party and was using him for her own advancement in addition to the affair.Delete
I've certainly read accounts of Broadwell's lack of journalistic integrity (for starters!). No legitimate biographers think her methods were acceptable.Delete
But nonetheless I see your point. People are too often dazzled and misled by smart and devious women (men, too, of course). Hats off to you for recognizing your husband's situation for what it was. It took me far too long to recognize that the OW in my case was equally devious...and longer still for my husband to do something about it.
There will always be people willing to do anything for their own gain. But it's on us to protect ourselves.

I am just wondering how Holly is doing...and when I googled her all I want to know is how is she doing.ReplyDelete
But instead I came across more of people commenting why David cheated. There was a blogger who commented this "look at her(Holly) and Paula and anyone can tell you why David cheated"
That is one the cruelist thing anyone can say to Holly now...I hope Holly isn't reading any of those thing.
Comments like this makes me extremely furious. And I have to remind myself again that my husband did not cheat because the OW takes care of her physical better than I did.

Wild Brawl Caught On Tape: Texas Youngsters Jump A Man In McDonalds While Trying To Order A Meal! (Mayor Says Kids Should Be In Church)
"CARTHAGE, TX (KLTV) - The YouTube video of a group of East Texas youngsters fighting at a McDonald's in Carthage has everyone in the small town talking. "Wow! It's unbelievable that our youth are doing that now and we have a lot of it," said Carthage Mayor Carson Joines. It is not the type interaction you would expect to see at McDonald's. "You know, that's not good for the business," said Joines. "McDonald's doesn't want that." The video shows one guy getting jumped and beaten by several people. "You know, they don't care how they hurt a person, and they'll all just jump on one usually," said Joines. "I don't know why they think that it makes themselves feel tough."" - KLTV

Murder-suicide in New Hampshire Raises Questions Regarding Policy and Practice
August 12, 2013
Statement by Mary R. Lauby, Executive Director, Jane Doe Inc.
The tragic murder and suicide at a visitation center in New Hampshire is a stark reminder of the dangerousness when the risk factors of domestic violence homicide are not well understood by those involved in making decisions regarding child custody and visitation, and are not front and center in terms of policy and practice.
While we do not have all the information of the circumstances leading up to this murder-suicide, the reports that this man made threats to kill his wife and his child ring loud and clear. Whenever someone has made specific threats to kill, nothing like supervised visitation or any other contact should be allowed much less endorsed by the courts. The research on risks associated with intimate partner related homicide/suicide, as well as the collective experience of domestic violence advocates on this point is indisputable. In what other situation would we tolerate or think it makes sense to put people in the presence of someone who have threatened to kill them?
Every day victims of domestic violence and their children are forced to remain in or return to untenable and unsafe situations with those who abuse and control them. Supervised visitation services, when used appropriately, can provide domestic violence victims with a safe way to comply with custody and visitation arrangements with an abusive co-parent. For these services to be conducted safely, everyone involved must be trained to identify risk factors associated with the perpetrator's behavior that could indicate an increased risk of lethality. Coordinating support services for survivors and accountability measures for offenders must be an integral part of any and all domestic violence services, including supervised visitation.

Author, artist and friend, many WILLIAMS ended up in Québec because their ancestors came to Nova Scotia via the Underground Railroad in order to escape slavery in the U.S. From the Maritimes, the WILLIAMS headed west, some remaining in Québec. Other descendants eventually returned to the U.S. B.J. did not do any genealogical research on his WILLIAMS family, so, at this point, we don't know how they ended up in Wappingers Falls, NY. On the other hand, BJ left NY to live for a few years in New Orleans, follwed by a year in Australia. and is now in California where he continues writing. Click on BJ's name above to check out the books he has written and many of his paintings. In the NEWS section of his homepage, you will find his monthly report as to his productivity.

Social media continues to grow in scope and power. There are so many platforms out there, and our students are all over them. To this generation, it's almost as if things don't actually happen unless they are filming, photographing, tweeting or status updating it.
Gen Y overshares and hyperconsumes content in the online space. They feel like things aren't actually happening unless it's happening on social media.
"They take technology for granted. They live through social media. They want the world their way, and they want it now." – Forbs on Gen Y
As career services professionals, we need to navigate our communication strategies to both speak their language, and teach them to become fluent in the language of the professional world. Through social media, we can engage students in the space they are comfortable with, and then lure them into our office to connect to the tangible resources they need to be successful after college – a bait and switch of sorts.
These days, most understand that social media is here to stay. However, whether or not there is value in it remains questionable by many. Therefore, measuring ROI is crucial. Knowing the difference between vanity and actionable metrics is extremely important!
Vanity Metrics: It's always nice to have a large following and fans to make us feel super important and liked. These vanity metrics are often how supervisors judge whether we are doing a good job. Yes, these are important. However, who are these individuals following or liking us? Are they strangers, or actually connections who are engaging and utilizing our resources?
Actionable Metrics: What really matters is whether our campaign translated into "performance" outcomes. Who retweeted us, who became more aware of our resources and came to the office to utilize them? These are the questions we should all ask when engaging with students in the social media space.
Metrics and ROI are becoming increasingly important in higher education. I recommend looking at platforms like Hootsuite, Twitonomy, Klout, and Facebook admin pages to help you gather a valuable measurement of your engagement in the online space. Correlating the timing of your social media messaging with spikes in attendance or counseling requests also serves as a more abstract way of showing the impact of your social media practices, and proving you are social media all-stars!

Seems like prices on them gone up very high again and all what i going too cary of them can be count on my fingers, because they will be just to expensive for me to buy !
Prices for a good quality Nakayama Kiita in Kyoto now from 500 000 yen and up and seems to be rising
So bit info why they are so popular and so valued.
(that is my opinion why)
First they are very very popular amount carpenters in japan for finishing
Why simply because Nakayama Kiita (yellow) is the finest of all kiitas out there, you can see swarf very easy and its super fine for its hardness, it means that it feels very very smooth !
It is one of the stones that you can try and say YES that is Nakayama ! Other Kiitas just feel very different and never so fine.
Even at some very low hardness like Lv 3 Nakayma Kiita can get fines as same stone in Lv 5
Here i made a little video on Nakayma Kiita tasting on white steel nr1 Kiridashi, very hard steel !!!
From Softest to Hardest

A Memorial is planned for a later date.
Sam was born in Bardwell, Kentucky, on June 5, 1925, and passed away peacefully in his sleep on September 23, 2012, in Bakersfield, CA.
Sam's family moved out to California when he was young. He graduated from Kern County Union High School in 1943.
Upon graduation, Sam joined the U.S. Navy, and served his country in the Philippines during WWII, where he received a purple heart and watched General Douglas McArthur wade ashore. It was in the Seabees that Sam learned how to operate a crane.
After leaving the Navy, Sam worked several years for Standard Oil Company. Eventually, he started his own crane service, operating Underwood Crane Service until his retirement.
Sam enjoyed life. He loved jazz music, working with wood, reading, and traveling. His greatest joy, however, came from his service to his community as a Shriner. He enjoyed marching with the Shriner Drum and Bugle Corp, and loved helping children in his community get medical treatment at the Shriners' Hospital. Sam was twice Master of the Taft Masonic Lodge #516. He received the Hiram Award, and his 50 year membership pin there.
Sam is survived by his wife, Jerry Underwood. Together they shared many adventures for over 40 years, showing their children how to love and laugh together through life.
Sam is also survived by his children, and their spouses: Terie Hankins, Mary Perry, Gary Underwood, Sam Jr., Michelle Mayfield, Steve Drewry, Linda Holt, and Keith Drewry, along with numerous grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
Sam's remains will be interred at the Bakersfield National Cemetery, and a Memorial is planned for a later date.

Are You #LookBatterNaked Enough?Saturday, August 30, 2014
Today's ALC (AikA's Love Closet) is a bit of different than usual, brining you more of the "healthy & athletic" side of fashion!
If you have followed me on my Insta (If you haven't, please follow me!), you probably know that I've been teaming up with David Barton Gym for the #LookBetterNaked challenge!
Back in June, I was super thrilled for the start of summer. I had been working very hard as a flag performer for Seafair, the biggest and most exiting summer festivals in Seattle. I always wanted to work out to get into better shape because I wasn't very satisfied with how I looked at the time, especially around my belly and arms. Nonetheless, because there were so many crazy things going on in my life, I never made going to a gym or even workout at home a priority. For the parade at Seafair I had to march nearly 2 miles continuously, so I seriously needed to build some muscles to be ready for that!
So I was very excited for this great offer/opportunity/challenge that David Barton Gym gave me! It was such a P E R F E C T time!
With my surprise (Like a BIG surprise!), they are not a gym AT ALL! Firstly, they are located in the center of high-end fashion brand shops, which makes me feel very luxurious every time I go to "workout!" Where in the world does a gym make you feel that way? Then, right after you step into the gym, the breathtaking futuristically architectural entrance welcomes you with upbeat DJ music, and their atmosphere really reminds me of a fancy club! (Yes, I used to love going out every Friday and Saturday!) Every single place you go, including the shower rooms and changing room, you might forget that you are actually at the gym for workout!!
On my first day, outward of the gym and me in it :)

|Official Title ICMJE
|A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Event-driven Trial of Weekly Low-dose Methotrexate (LDM) in the Prevention of Cardiovascular Events Among Stable Coronary Artery Disease Patients With Type 2 Diabetes or Metabolic Syndrome
|Brief Summary
|The Cardiovascular Inflammation Reduction Trial (CIRT) is a randomized clinical trial investigating whether taking low-dose methotrexate reduces heart attacks, strokes, or death in people with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome that have had a heart attack or multiple coronary blockages. This trial is funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)/National Institutes of Health (NIH).
|Detailed Description
|While inflammation contributes crucially to atherothrombosis, it is unknown whether inhibition of inflammation per se will lower vascular event rates. The primary aim of the Cardiovascular Inflammation Reduction Trial (CIRT) is to directly test the inflammatory hypothesis of atherothrombosis by evaluating whether or not low-dose methotrexate (LDM) will reduce rates of myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular death among stable coronary artery disease patients with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome, conditions associated with an enhanced pro-inflammatory response. CIRT is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, event-driven trial that will randomize 7,000 men and women from the United States and Canada. Following a five- to six-week open-label run-in (maximum 8 weeks), eligible participants who have either suffered documented myocardial infarction in the past or have angiographically demonstrated multivessel coronary artery disease in the past will be randomly allocated over a three to four year period to usual care plus placebo or usual care plus LDM. The target methotrexate dose among those allocated to active therapy is 15 to 20 mg po per week, a dose within the range of that commonly used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. All study participants will additionally receive 1.0 mg oral folate to be taken daily six days per week. LDM complications will be minimized through education programs for all investigators and coordinators, through enhanced communication with study participants, by limiting enrollment to those with no evidence of malignancy, hepatitis, renal dysfunction, chronic infection, pulmonary disease, or other risk factors for toxicity; by conducting an initial 5- to 6-week active-therapy run-in (maximum 8 weeks) designed to eliminate individuals who are either intolerant of or unable to adhere to treatment before randomization; and through regular monitoring of liver function and hematologic indices using a centralized methodology designed to ensure participant safety, allow for dose adjustments while maintaining the study blind, and provide an efficient method to address issues of compliance and follow-up on a cost-effective centralized basis. The primary trial endpoint is the rate of myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiovascular death. Secondary and tertiary endpoints include all-cause mortality, coronary revascularization, incident congestive heart failure, incident peripheral artery disease, incident venous thrombosis, clinically significant aortic stenosis, incident atrial fibrillation, incident diabetes among those with metabolic syndrome but not diabetes at study entry, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) control among those with diabetes at study entry. The trial is event driven such that in the absence of extreme effects, the trial will conclude after accrual of at least 530 primary endpoints, an effect estimated to provide 90 percent power to detect a 25 percent relative risk reduction. The potential clinical impact of CIRT is broad as it has sufficient power to directly address core issues in the inflammatory hypothesis of atherothrombosis, and thus, if successful, will open major new directions for cardiovascular treatment.

If you're thinking about filing for bankruptcy, you're not alone. Millions of Americans struggle with debt from credit cards, medical bills and mortgage payments. Filing bankruptcy could allow you to get a fresh financial start.
Bankruptcy is a legal process designed to put a stop to collection calls and wipe out debt for good. What can bankruptcy do for you?
The two main types of consumer bankruptcy, Chapter 7 and 13, offer different paths to debt relief, but both are designed to erase debt and stop debt collectors.
Find out more by talking to a bankruptcy lawyer today.
We interview bankruptcy attorneys John Carlin and Robert Bruner about how bankruptcy may provide the debt relief and fresh start so many people need.
Talking to a local attorney can help you find answers to your questions about bankruptcy. Get the facts about bankruptcy, how you might qualify, and what happens after you file.
If you're struggling with debt and considering your options, get help to today. Learn your legal rights during a free consultation with a local bankruptcy attorney. Get started right now.
While bankruptcy laws are known to change periodically, there have been no new laws passed that affect bankruptcy filings. Filing bankruptcy in 2014 will likely be unchanged from recent years. The last major bankruptcy law reform was enacted in 2005.
Some smaller changes to the bankruptcy process, such as the median income to qualify for Chapter 7 are changed periodically based on census data.
If you've been considering bankruptcy as a debt-relief tool, filing in 2014 shouldn't provide any new challenges from previous years, but it may be in your best interest to discuss your case with a bankruptcy attorney before filing.
There are two main forms of bankruptcy protection for individuals. Each works to resolve debt in its own ways:
Each type of bankruptcy involves a different process and may produce different results, based on your unique financial situation.
Also called "straight" bankruptcy because of the quick relief it offers, this form of bankruptcy is frequently known as "Chapter 7" for the section of the bankruptcy code that outlines how it works.
If you want to eliminate unsecured debt like credit cards, payday loans, utility bills, medical debt and some personal loans, filing bankruptcy under a Chapter 7 may be an option.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is usually a viable option for people with lots of unsecured debt and little income, such as an unemployed person who's been using credit cards or payday loans to make ends meet.
If you want to file Chapter 7, you'll have to take the Chapter 7 means test to see if you qualify. But don't worry, most people who want to file Chapter 7 are able to. It's a myth that the "new" bankruptcy law made it so no one can file for bankruptcy.
The means test determines whether your income is low enough to get your debts discharged. There are two steps to the means test:
Step One: Compare your income to the median income in your state. Generally, if you "pass" the first step, you don't have to do the second step.
Step Two: Compares your disposable income and your unsecured debt.
See how your income stacks up. Find out your state median income, then talk to a lawyer about your legal right to file bankruptcy.
Keep in mind, if you don't "pass" the means test, you may still be able to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy and work to repay your debt (interest-free) over time.
If you're facing foreclosure or looking for an interest-free repayment plan, Chapter 13 bankruptcy might help you out.
Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the court places you on an interest-free payment plan that usually lasts three to five years. During that time, you make one lower monthly payment directly to the bankruptcy court (no more dealing with creditors). They, in turn, make payments to your creditors according to a priority set by the court.
At the end of your repayment period, you may even qualify to discharge your remaining unsecured debt (such as credit card bills, medical debt, utility back payments, etc.).
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is typically an option for people who have steady income but have fallen behind on their bills.
In many cases, Chapter 13 bankruptcy can stop foreclosures thanks to the protection of the automatic stay and the chance to repay mortgage debts at a reasonable rate.
Not sure which category seems like the right fit for you? Curious if filing bankruptcy is a good option for you? Want to learn more about Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy?
A bankruptcy lawyer may help you make a better-informed decision. Learn how to file for it and what to expect if you do.
You can receive a free, no-obligation case evaluation. Simply fill out the quick case review form below to get started now. It's free.
Many Americans never thought they would have to consider bankruptcy as a way to get out of debt. But the truth is that many of us can't get out of the hole we're in. On top of the original debt, creditors pile on late fees and high interest rates, making it seem impossible to get any traction.
Once people learn the truth about the legal process of bankruptcy, they realize it can be a tool that helps them dig out of that dark debt hole.
More and more Americans are filing for bankruptcy to not only get out of debt, but to also save their homes from foreclosure and their cars from repossession.
Some creditors want to trick people into thinking bankruptcy will have a devastating effect on their lives, but that's just not the case.
Bankruptcy isn't meant to ruin lives--it was created to help people resolve their debts in a legal manner.
It's true that a bankruptcy can stay on your credit report for up to 10 years; however, it's also true that most people improve their credit after they file for bankruptcy. It makes sense - once you've resolved your debt and don't have that hanging over your head any longer, you can start to rebuild their credit.
Talk to a lawyer to find out how bankruptcy could really help you and what would likely happen after you file for Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy.
The stigma of filing bankruptcy and fear that it will ruin your life are common, but are in fact unfounded.
Every day, people just like you decide to file for bankruptcy, and each year more than 1 million individuals, families and small business owners turn to bankruptcy to wipe the slate clean.
The thought of "going bankrupt" may have had a stigma to it decades ago, but the reality today is that most Americans are in debt - like credit cards, mortgages, students loans or medical bills - which can quickly become hard to manage due to medical issues, layoffs, lack of available work, and reductions in work hours/pay.
Unless you're a celebrity, filing for bankruptcy won't make headlines. In most cases, not even your employer has to know. Bankruptcy is designed to give you peace of mind and the opportunity to break free from the chains of debt.
Many people who end up filing bankruptcy have spent time considering other debt relief options, like debt settlement or consolidation. These programs are often seen as safer and less "scary" than bankruptcy.
However, these programs often don't provide the same total debt relief that bankruptcy can. Here are two major differences when your case is over:
Learn more about bankruptcy vs other debt relief options.
Even though bankruptcy can stay on your credit report for up to 10 years, the impact of bankruptcy on your credit may not be that different from your current situation.
If you're considering filing bankruptcy, you probably have several "negative" marks on your credit report, such as
These negative marks can make getting new lines of credit difficult - and anything you do qualify for will likely come with a high interest rate and other terms that aren't friendly to you.
Filing bankruptcy can wipe the slate clean. If your debts are all unsecured (credit cards, payday loans, etc.), you can be on your way to a fresh financial start in just a few months.
Bankruptcy doesn't magically fix bad credit, but it can lift the burden of debt and put you back on the right track.
The bankruptcy court doesn't have to be a scary place. Most filers are only required to appear in court one or two times throughout their case.
Connect with a local bankruptcy lawyer for free. Enter your ZIP code below for a free bankruptcy evaluation by a sponsoring bankruptcy attorney:
While a wide range of debts can be eliminated in bankruptcy, student loans currently hold a special exemption. Because most student loans are given or backed by the federal government, they can not be discharged in bankruptcy in most cases.
What options do you have if you're struggling with repaying your student loans? Aside from forbearance and consolidation, filing bankruptcy may offer some relief. Other common debts such as credit cards, medical bills and payday loans can usually be wiped out in bankruptcy, which may give you the financial relief necessary to repay your student loans.
And in some cases, the bankruptcy court will allow student loans to be included in a bankruptcy filing, particularly for disabled individuals who are unable to perform the type of work they went to school to learn.
If you're dealing with excessive student loan debt, talk to an attorney today to learn about your options, included Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
Total Bankruptcy is sponsored by a network of participating bankruptcy attorneys around the country. Since 2005, we have helped concerned people just like you learn about bankruptcy and connect with a local attorney to learn how bankruptcy could help.
Bankruptcy laws are different in each state, and many states have multiple districts that apply their own rules. That's why speaking with a local bankruptcy attorney is considered an important step in the process of understanding your options under the bankruptcy laws.
And while major metropolises tend to have many bankruptcy filers, dealing with debt isn't just a "big city" concern. People from all walks of life find themselves struggling with unemployment, medical bills and other financial burdens.
If you're ready to get help, simply fill out the free case review form on this page or call toll-free 877-349-1309 to find an attorney in your area.
When you meet with an attorney, you can discuss your financial situation and learn about your options to take control of your debt. Bankruptcy may not be right for everyone, but your attorney can help you determine if it's a solution for your financial needs.
Talking with a bankruptcy lawyer can help you determine if eliminating your debt through bankruptcy is the right path for you, or whether exploring other options, such as debt consolidation, debt settlement, or credit counseling, can provide debt relief in your situation.

US Has Lost All Moral High Ground On Internet Censorship
from the we-censor-too dept
The U.S. government is grabbing domain names to prevent users from reaching content it views as illegal. Not content that has been adjudicated illegal, as far as we know -- content that is alleged to be illegal. To content owners, and probably to ICE, it looks only natural that we'd prevent people from reaching information they view as stolen, or counterfeit. But it's natural to China to censor human rights sites. Or Wikileaks, for that matter....This nicely summarizes the point that I've tried to make. When people claim that taking down entire websites (even ones that have plenty of legitimate content) through the US government seizing it isn't censorship because "it's copyright infringement," it sounds like the stories you hear from people in China who see absolutely nothing wrong with the Great Firewall there, noting that the government is just protecting them from "dangerous information." Both cases are about censorship, however. Same with France and Saudi Arabia. They're all situations where the government has decided that certain types of content should be blocked because it is -- in some way -- harmful. And those who agree that it is harmful say it's not censorship because it's "helpful." But that's simply not true. It's censorship, plain and simple.
Every country in the world believes that some material on the Net qualifies inherently for censorship. It's obvious! In this respect, we're no different from China. So, we should give up pretensions of American exceptionalism for information controls -- for us, it's IP; for Saudi Arabia, it's porn; for France, it's hate speech. Only the quality of the legal process differentiates censors. And with these seizures, I think there's much to worry us in the (lack of) process...

Billy Campbell Revisits Civil War in 'Copperhead'
"Copperhead" is unlike any Civil War movie to date: a timeless and deeply moving examination of the price of dissent, the place of the individual amidst the hysteria of wartime, and the terrible price of war. Actor Billy Campbell and director Ron Maxwell join Lunch Break.

…cause I certainly don't. Someone sent me this link for "nada bike". The entire site seems to consist of just some psuedo-individuality/anti-establishment slogans and some hyperlinks, half of which lead to desperate online resumes and the other half are dead links. Worst. Site. Ever.
"Now is the time for a whole movement that says no. No gas. No foreign oil. No cars. No bullshit. You want in?"
After the Hot Topic call to revolutionary glory, they urge you to join the cause by buying a fixed gear frame for $100 plus $49 shipping. I don't know what to make of this. Are they serious, or is this some joke by creative would-be professionals who, for lack of employment, have too much time on their hands?
WTF? Before you do that, you can join my club! Send me $100 and I'll send you something out of my closet. It'll be like eBay, only afterwards you'll be Mark V's BFF.

Best Kids Parties: Donuts
Name: Jake, 2
Location: San Diego, CA
Who doesn't love donuts? You don't have to spend a fortune to have a great party! Sometimes you just need a little imagination. When it comes to kids, they just want something that's fun. For Jake's 2nd birthday we had a fabulous donut party that was loved by both kids and adults.
While I've always loved creative things, I use to feel a little lost when it came to executing my artistic vision because I'm not a very good drawer or painter. Turns out I just needed my son Jake to inspire me. My ideas don't have to be perfect or fancy, they just need to make Jake smile or squeal with delight. When my son came out of his room the morning of his birthday he was so excited to see his birthday surprise. He then immediately proceeded to tear down his birthday banner and grab a handful of donut holes! Success!
Happy Birthday banner, plates, napkins, and paper straws are all from Target. Polka dot trays are from IKEA. And best of all, the donuts are from the best donut shop in San Diego - VG Bakery. I made the DIY sprinkle covered frame with a bit of adhesive spray and the sprinkle covered cups had rims that were dipped in frosting and then rolled in sprinkles.
DIY play donuts were very easy to make from dollar store socks and felt. No sewing required. Tutorial can be found on my blog. The balloon backdrop was created from clear balloons filled with paper confetti, then tied to the party favors.
Party Favors were tin cans from Target's $1 bin, filled with M&Ms, matchbox cars, Play-doh, bubbles, and my DIY play donuts. Chalkboard signs were purchased from IKEA. We also did a DIY donut finger print guest book. The idea was for everyone to leave a fingerprint on the donut so that it looked covered in sprinkles.
Lastly, we did a giant donut toss. Using an inflatable donut from Amazon, kids tossed the play food donuts into the giant donut for a prize.
Thanks, Sam!

mungai needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 244 designs submitted by 50 freelance designers.
Mungai Mirrors
We are a relatively small business selling acrylic mirrors. We do fun and creative designs aimed at children along with all the standard shapes. Check out the website to see exactly what we do (http://www.mungaimirrors.co.uk). Acrylic mirror is a safety product but also of high reflective quality and strength.
We aim a lot of our fun and novelty products at children for use in bedrooms, nurseries and classrooms although parents would always be purchasers. We are very reasonably priced and want to give the feeling of fun and affordable but not amateurish and cheap. We also do more stylish and funky/contemporary designs for around the home and garden as well as all the standard shaped mirrors. We also wholesale and sell to educational and health organistaions.
We require a logo to rebrand our company - Mungai Mirrors
Ideally it should incorporate a play on the 'M' that can be used alone and be recognisable without the Mungai Mirrors name, although the name does need to appear in the logo. But feel free to go with own ideas.
It needs to give the feeling of reflection and shine.
Lighter blues & greys with black and white. (or thereabouts)
Experiment with font but nothing extravagant. Clear but unique.
Overall something youthful and funky and stylish but not over the top.
Needs to be used for web primarily and some print.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

Students from five high schools in Ouachita Parish recently had the opportunity to learn about business careers in the region by participating in "Back Office Day" at the University of Louisiana at Monroe. Students heard from ULM faculty and area business leaders about careers in management, marketing, accounting, finance, risk management and insurance, computer information services and information technology. Following the presentations, students traveled to CenturyLink to hear from human resource directors about the various careers available at their headquarters. The goal of "Back Office Day" is for students to discover what interests them most in business, what it takes to get a degree in that field, and the types of jobs available in our community once they graduate from college.
"Back Office Day" is a collaboration of the ULM College of Business and Social Sciences, the Monroe Chamber of Commerce, the Monroe City School Board, the Ouachita Parish School Board and CenturyLink. In addition, a host of local business professionals assisted with the presentations. Students participating in the event had the opportunity to win one of nine scholarships to attend the ULM College of Business. By random drawing, 8 of the 9 scholarship recipients were Ouachita Parish students from Sterlington High, West Monroe High, and Ouachita Parish High.
