A lecture by Allyn Miner, Visiting Professor from the University of Pennsylvania*
Friday, May 11, 20073:00 PM - 4:30 PMGamelan Room1659 Schoenberg Music BuildingUCLALos Angeles, CA 90095
The Mrgavati is an epic written in the colloquial language of the Jaunpur area in central north India in 1503. Its richly imagined depiction of a court music performance is the starting point for this paper, which follows a web of references in Sanskrit, Hindi, and Persian sources relating to emerging developments in performance practice at the time and place. This initial exploration of courtly, Sufi, and Hindu devotional milieus traces developments in raga and genre formation that would help shape later north Indian music culture. In a broader sense it is an exercise in reading music history in a moment of the distant past through the framework of contemporaneous sources.
Dr. Miner received a Ph.D. from Banaras Hindu University for her work on the early history of the sitar and sarod. She began a performance career at that time, appearing in a number of cities and on All India Radio before her return to the U.S. In 1985 she began performance training under Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. She joined the Department of South Asia Studies at the University of Pennsylvania as a Lecturer in 1988 while pursuing a Ph.D. in Sanskrit. She received her degree in 1994 from the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies for her dissertation on a 14th-century musicological text from Gujarat.
Miner has pursued an active teaching, research, and performance career. She teaches a roster of popular courses on South Asian classical and regional music and dance at Penn and has been visiting faculty at a number of other institutions including the University of Washington, New York University, and Temple University.
* Dr. Miner's appointment at UCLA is made possible through funding provided by the Mohindar Brar Sambhi Chair in Indian Music.

Hello vs. Aló
I've made a lot of compromises to live in harmony – it's a necessity for any household, especially a bi-cultural one. Most of the compromises cease to even feel like compromises because I've embraced them to the point that they've become second nature, but there is one thing that still makes me a little crazy.
The phone rings, I answer it.
"Hello?" I say.
"Hello?" I say again.
Nervous shuffling. Someone is there but they aren't answering me.
I sigh, knowing what I must do.
"Aló?" I say – as if English is not my native language.
Suddenly the caller comes to life speaking rapid-fire Spanish, now confident that they haven't accidentally called a gringa's house.
The next time the phone rings, I sigh.
"Aló?" I say, cutting to the chase.
On the other end, I hear my Anglo mother giggle.
Posted on February 24, 2011, in Anglo vs. Latino, humor, Language. Bookmark the permalink. 25 Comments.
What's funny is there is a very small difference between 'hello' and 'alo'. But I can kinda get it because I know if I have to make a call and someone answers with, "Buenos!!" I'm gonna freak out and my Spanish will suck from being nervous. But if they just say, "Hello?" then I'll feel better.
Jajajajajaj!!!! I love it! I can totally relate! My wife (who's anglo) tells me i say alo/elo instead of hello when I pick up the phone knowing it's a relative. I never thought about it till she mentioned it. You should combine the 2 greetings of Bueno and Hello and throw anyone for a loop by saying "Vuelo", that should get a que/what response from the caller.
That is too funny! I guess that's the plus of only having a cell phone. I know when it's my family or friends and I know when to say "hello" or "alo". It makes such a difference I know!
Since I'm such a clown when my sister calls me I answer the phone with a simple "Talk to Me!"
First of all….I love your blog. I have experienced the same thing numerous times, and it's funny to see someone else put it in print. :) My husband looks at the caller ID and answers BUENO if he knows who it is, and ALO if he doesn't. Then he typically tosses me the phone if it isn't for him. Lucky me.
Believe it or not, we as english speaking people have the same problem. I admire people who can speak two or more languages. Love the blog and keep them coming.
LOL- its funny because my mom does that too- and it drives me crazy. . . its a third world thing? The Alo?
I can so relate! Funny how a slight change in intonation is all my husband's relatives need to launch into conversation. (We became used to hearing "Alo" when we visited Guatemala and it somehow stuck). And on the reverse side, when I lived in Mexico (where I did not have Caller ID), and my mom (Anglo) would call and I would say, "Bueno", she would go, "Bueeeeeeeennnnnnnooooo" in amused response. My stepmother in Mexico would always answer the phone "Bueno? Hello?" really fast and while it seemed cumbersome at the time but I guess it was in hopes of the speaker feeling comfortable.
haha. We all answer "hello" at my house but every now and then my dad surprises us with a "bueno" The first time that happened I paused for a good ten seconds. Was that my (gringo) dad and did he just say a word in Spanish?!
My abuelita is very respectful and answers each call with "Buenos Dias" "Buenas Tardes" or "Buenas Noches"
Lol! I've experienced this as well. You describe it so perfectly. You may find it amusing to know that my gringo parents sometimes call me and leave me voicemails in Spanglish. They don't really speak Spanish but they know enough to be funny. ;)
Qué interesante la historia del "Hello". Yo ya me acostumbré a contestar Hello! Pero cuando sé quien me habla (sp) contesto "Qué Pasiones Champiñones" "Jelou" "Eeeloo" or "Aloooo"!
Ha ha ha. That's funny. I answer the phone "bueno" when I don't know who it is in case it's a telemarketer. More often than not, that will throw them for a loop.
This was too funny…..
You crack me up!! I can almost hear my mother, abuela and tía.
You crack me up!! I can almost hear my mother, abuela and tía "¡Aló! ¡Aló!"

5 Unexpected Downsides of High Intelligence
We're sure that at some point, someone has told you that you can't get anywhere without an education, and for the most part, they're right. And you're much more likely to pursue that education if you're starting out with a high IQ. According to renowned intelligenceologists who painstakingly measured every goddamn thing that you can associate with IQ, test scores were "the best single predictor of an individual's years of education."
Though some measurements were admittedly questionable.
Why? Well, their theory goes that smarter students do better in school (Cracked breaks new ground yet again!), which leads to more encouragement from teachers and parents, which in turn leads to more motivation to stay in school, then yadda yadda yadda, bingo-bango, master's degree in economics!
So What's the Problem?
It turns out that all this book learnin' is teaching you more than just the Pythagorean theorem -- it's also making it easier for you to believe some laughably wrong and even seriously weird stuff.
Via Mastermarf.com
One problem is that education leads to one overall inaccurate belief: You think you're smarter than you are. Three studies have found that people who fall for investment scams are better-educated than the average person but don't seek advice because they think they're immune to making mistakes. In one study, researchers found that 94 percent of college professors think their work is superior to their peers'. These fellows fail to realize that intelligence doesn't always translate to real-world ability, and thus they tend to overestimate the quality of their work.
Via Smartiq.com
Whoa! Sure is getting crowded at the smart end of the bell curve. Right, guys?
It seems to go back to the old saying about how the wisest man is the one who realizes he knows nothing. Or, as Michael Shermer, the author of Why People Believe Weird Things, puts it: "Smart people believe weird things because they are skilled at defending beliefs they arrived at for non-smart reasons."
That's why the more education you get, the more likely you are to believe in, say, ghosts and the supernatural. One study found that 23 percent of college freshman believed in the paranormal, compared with 31 percent of seniors and 34 percent of graduate students. Which leads us to wonder ... what the fuck are schools teaching these days?
On one hand, it seems like the smarter you are, the greater your ability to know the dangers of, say, shooting heroin. So self-destructive habits are traits of the low-class and stupid, right? Eh, not really...
The thing is, the great minds have something in common with proverbial death-prone kitties: curiosity. Researchers have finally begun to understand the link between curiosity and intelligence on the molecular level, thanks to scientists from the University of Toronto and Mount Sinai Hospital who discovered a protein in an under-explored part of the brain that controls both traits.
Via Wiredtowinthemovie.com
It's always in the last place you look.
Makes sense. Weird shit like monkey-powered time machines can be invented only by people with enough brain smarts to make them work and enough curiosity to want to see such awesomeness in the first place.
So What's the Problem?
Extra-curious people are also extra-likely to be substance abusers.
British scientists published the results of a long-term study showing that smart people were more likely to be drunks. People who fell into the "very bright" category (IQs of 125 or greater) were not only more likely to experiment with alcohol but also were more likely to drink excessively and binge drink than their dimwitted counterparts.
These men are living, breathing supercomputers.
And yeah, they pretty much found the same link between high intelligence and psychoactive drug use. It also turns out that intelligent people are much more likely to indulge in illicit substances such as marijuana, Ecstasy, cocaine and heroin. The smarter you are, the more likely you are to be tripping balls at any given moment.
"Duuuuude. We should totally rent The Wall tonight!"
As for why, remember when we said earlier that smart people's brains seek out novelty and thus are the first to experiment with any new habit? Well, one theory explaining the link between substance abuse and intelligence is that both alcohol and drugs are novel substances, in evolutionary terms. Humans have been consuming alcohol for only about 10,000 years, and the earliest recorded drug was only 5,000 years ago. So when something is novel, the curiouser and most intelligent among us are more likely to want to try it out.
You know. For science.
You don't need to be smart. Just buy our book and we'll get your back.

Though few people associate NYC with America's federal government, old Wall Street is in fact where it all began. Federal Hall served as the first US Capitol Building, the site of George Washington's first inauguration and the place where the Bill of Rights was officially passed. Though the original building has since been demolished, the current structure—built as the US Customs House in 1842—today serves as a national memorial operated by the National Park Service.

Long-Term Results: A Major Update And Some Changes
Some three years and 50,000 miles ago, we installed some performance improvements from BD Power on our '01 Chevrolet Duramax test truck (June '03). Nearly all the mileage this truck gets is towing. Going down the highway means 20,600 pounds-yep, a real load.
Just to refresh your memory, we had added the BD air-intake system and a complete exhaust system, which we later found on a dyno to make about 20 more rear-wheel horsepower. We also opted for the BD exhaust brake, in which an air cylinder controls a butterfly valve, which, when activated, virtually shuts off the exhaust from escaping, thus building backpressure. It works so well when towing that only on the steepest grades do we ever touch the truck's brake pedal, and that's very seldom.
To keep track of engine performance, we mounted up BD's excellent X Monitor gauge package to the window's A-pillar to give us exhaust gas temperature (EGT), turbo boost pressure, and exhaust backpressure readouts.
Diesels thrive on fuel delivery. The more fuel delivered at the proper time, the more power developed. The installation of the Amp Box from BD allowed us to program four different power levels by altering the injection delivery timing and opening duration. Keep in mind that diesels operate without a butterfly-type throttle, so engine speed and power are regulated by the amount of fuel delivered to the injectors, and with a turbocharger, airflow is augmented by how hard the turbo spins due to exhaust flow. So it all comes down to more fuel, more air, more power.
The biggest drawback is that the program was designed for those trucks with the more common Allison automatic transmission, not the six-speed manual that we have. We leave our Amp Box set at the third power level and closely monitor our EGT. To change the power level, we have to locate an Allison transmission-equipped truck, plug in our Amp Box, and follow the instructions. OK, it's only a 20-minute job, but it's still a pain to locate another truck.
Thanks to BD, where driving conditions allow, we can cruise at 75 mph. While we can now usually pull most grades in Sixth gear, we'll grab Fifth gear even if not needed, just to reduce the gear and clutch load.
The power gain is phenomenal! Forget about the slow lane on the hills. The only problem is that we have to monitor our exhaust temperature and usually have to back off on long grades to prevent turbo meltdown. But even at reduced throttle, we're towing faster than most people drive without trailers. If we had the Amp Box set on "1," as BD recommends when towing, then we most likely could keep our foot down, but naturally with less power.
As to the air filter and exhaust, there is a slight increase in engine intake and exhaust noise. BD claims the two let the turbo run cooler and enhance the power output provided by the Amp Box. While I can't directly prove it, I'd have to agree.The best fuel mileage has been 22 mpg without a load, and our pulling average is 12.3 mpg. Not bad considering the speed, weight, and wind resistance involved.

Special Education Listserv
Subject: Deadline for Capital Outlay Requests with ARRA Funds
Source: Special Education Finance
Intended Audience: Superintendents, Special Education Directors, Finance Administrators, ECSE Coordinators
Date: August 17, 2011
As you know, all ARRA funds must be expended by September 30, 2011, and approval from DESE must be obtained before those funds can be expended on Capital Outlay (buses, vehicles, real estate, new construction, or renovation projects). Therefore, the Division is asking LEAs that would like to use remaining ECSE ARRA or Part B ARRA funds for buses, vehicles, real estate, construction, or renovations to submit Capital Outlay Purchase Approval Requests to the Division for prior approval no later than August 31, 2011.
For both the Capital Outlay Purchase Approval Request form for Part B ARRA funds AND the Capital Outlay Purchase Approval Request form for ECSE ARRA funds, go to http://dese.mo.gov/divspeced/Finance/RecoveryReinvestmentActARRA.htm.
We will not approve requests submitted after August 31, 2011, as there is not sufficient time for the Division to process the request, the capital outlay project to be completed, and for the LEA to expend the funds.
If you have any questions, please contact the Special Education Finance Section at (573) 751-0622.

Writings by Peter Martino
Who are the Victims and Who Are the Victimizers?
by Douglas Murray
One year after the bombs went off at the Boston marathon, Brandeis authorities were so intent on avoiding the issues those bombs had raised, that they would rather point the finger at a critic of the radical ideology than do anything to criticize the ideology.
Is not the Palestinian leadership a viable negotiating partner with whom peace is just about to be achieved? How do you protest if the protesters are Muslims? Who are the victims and who are the victimizers? After all, "victims" cannot victimize, can they?
When we see a global bigotry and hatred such as this, we should identify it as such and demand, in the name of all that is decent, that it stop.
Libya: Jihadi Terror Leaders' Safest Haven
by Anna Mahjar-Barducci
Libya is the new jihadist front on the Mediterranean -- and just a few hours away from the centers of Europe.
Several security sources have confirmed that Belmokhtar is still alive and has moved, along with his troops, from Mali to a new base in the Libyan desert.
The Moroccans That Infuriate the Dutch
by Timon Dias
"If Lady Justice is truly blind, she will prosecute all of us or none of us. I hope none of us." — Geert Wilders, MP and Leader of the Party for Freedom, the Netherlands.
A more recent development is the pending Dutch Moroccan takeover of the drugs and human trafficking businesses.
Iran: Rayhaneh Jabbari's Stay of Execution
by Shabnam Assadollahi
It is now being said that Morteza Sarbandi, instead of assaulting Reyhaneh Jabbari, was stabbed while performing Muslim prayers.
Palestinians: Our Blood Is More Precious Than Jewish Blood
by Khaled Abu Toameh
"We reject all forms of violence... Palestinian blood is like Israeli blood. It is human blood and precious and no one wants anyone killed." — Mahmoud al-Habbash, Palestinian Minister of Religious Affairs
"If your blood is like the blood of Zionists, our blood is not." — Zakariya Zubeidi, former leader of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade.
"We call for lifting his [al-Habbash's] diplomatic immunity and for prosecuting him immediately for his administrative, financial, and political corruption. We also call on President Abbas to fire him immediately from the Palestinian cabinet." — Mansour al-Sa'di, Fatah leader.
The angry reactions show that there are many Palestinians who see no problem with a terrorist attack against a Jewish family. Palestinian leaders can blame only themselves.

Hey there! Been interested in buying some Tippmann paintball markers for a while now, only am completely unable to find Tippmanns prices. Certainly doesn't seem to be on their website, at least, no-where clear and obvious. I assume this is because the prices are high, and they dont want people to see? I e-mailed both the EU address as well as the USA address, and months later still haven't recieved any responce. Also used the tippmann websites "contact us" method, filled in their little box of info etc, and again, got absolutely no responce, and at least a couple of months have passed.
Funny thing is, i keep coming across adverts for Tippmann markers on various websites (The internet KNOWS what you are looking for these days), and those links lead me to pricelists. http://shop.tippmann.com/home/index/36220.127.116.11 , though i'm not completely convinced that this is the same website.
Needless to day, im pretty unimpressed. Can anyone else tell me where i'm going wrong? Or recommend another seller of decent paintball markers.
Many thanks in advance.

Errrm where exactly? If it were that simple, i'd have found it already. Just checked that website again, clicked on the X7 Phenom, takes me to the page where i can build my own marker, see its description, specs and accessories etc. But..... no "buy now" button to be seen. Clicked through all the other marker types, and variations, still no obvious buy now button. No information on prices anywhere whatsoever!

Click the Blue EMEA button in the upper right hand corner of the screen and choose the USA option. It does not appear that the "Buy button" or prices are listed in the other versions of the website. In the USA version of the website, it has a Buy Now button that when clicked it will list prices. I believe prices are listed in US dollars. You may have to use a currency converter to see the cost as reflected in the currency you normally use
Hope that helps.

Most prices you find online are going to be pretty simliar since they are most likely required to sell at MSRP unless it is some sort of blow out special.

Hi there Supreme,
I have read your post and wanted to help you out a bit further...
Where are you located within the EU?
So, I can point you towards the nearest Tippmann dealer.
Unfortunately none of us have received any of the mails or inquiries you mentioned, maybe something went wrong there?!
In Europe we do not have the option to buy direct from the Tippmann website. That is also the reason why we do not list any prices on our EMEA website. In Europe we work with distributors and you as a customer need to go through a shop/webshop to acquire your Tippmann goods.
Tippmann dealers (shops and webshops) should be easy to find on the internet and are quite abundant within EU.
Let me know if this helps you any further or if you need some help in finding a Tippmann dealer near you.
With kindest regards,
Irving van den Bergh

Kiel Talks Taxes in East Grand ForksMinnesota state representative Deb Kiel talked tax issues Friday in East Grand Forks.
Minnesota state representative Deb Kiel talked tax issues Friday in East Grand Forks.
Kiel says the main concerns she hears deal with the proposed sales tax on certain goods and services. Michael Hlady, MN Resident, "The sales tax can discourage people from living in the Minnesota side for one. there's some issues there. but more importantly it ends up taxing middle class people." "Revenue is not the problem. We have plenty of revenue. It's how it's being used and how it's being spent."
Kiel agrees and says adding the tax would hurt Minnesota businesses, especially those along state borders. Proponents say it would help wipe out the budget deficit and would be more fair for both consumers and businesses.

People to this day buy Robin Weber bar drinks.
"It's been good for beer," he joked in a recent phone interview.
On New Year's Eve, 1973, a year after the scoop-for-score that made Franco Harris famous, Notre Dame executed its own "Immaculate Reception" to defeat Alabama for college football's national championship.
The same programs will play for another title Monday night in South Florida.
The out-of-nowhere reception made by Weber four decades ago in New Orleans secured a 24-23 Sugar Bowl win and encased the game in football's all-time time capsule.
There was no controversy, just jaw-dropping surprise.
Protecting a one-point lead late in the game, Notre Dame was backed against its own goal line facing third and long. Everyone expected Notre Dame to run the ball and punt. In 1966, Irish Coach Ara Parseghian had played conservatively in a 10-10 tie against Michigan State that cinched for Notre Dame the national title Alabama fans still think they deserved.
This time, though, in the rain at rickety old Tulane Stadium, Parseghian threw caution and pigskin to the wind.
The play was designed for star tight end Dave Casper but Weber, the second end in the set, had slipped wide open near the left sideline. Quarterback Tom Clements floated a perfect strike to Weber, who caught the ball in stride over his left shoulder for a 36-yard gain with 2:12 left.
Weber remembers running right past Alabama Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. "He could have reached out and slapped the ball," Weber said.
Weber fell out of bounds on the Alabama sideline, and found himself looking square into Bryant's anguished, disgusted, defeated face.
"There are all these red helmets looking down on me," Weber recalled. "And here comes Bryant, he's mad. He's very, very unhappy … but I knew it was checkmate."
Weber's catch allowed Notre Dame to run out the clock in one of college football's epics.
The catch was Weber's second of the season. The sophomore would be injured the next year and fade harmoniously into Notre Dame's scrapbook. He runs a real estate business in Dallas that has a website with a link to "The Catch."
The play almost never happened. Weber said he couldn't believe Notre Dame would call a play that might remotely involve him.
"Holy crap," Weber said he was thinking. "They want me to run a 40-yard flag route? I've run that in sandlot football, but other than that…"
Weber said he almost called time out, certain the Irish had the wrong personnel in the game.
"The unusual thing is, I had never caught a pass from Tom Clements," Weber said.
Not even in practice?
"Ever," he said.

Students will wrote the essay during their regular English classes on March 20. There will be a special schedule for the Math and English tests on April 7 and 8, 2014. The Math and English tests are the CSTs (California Standards Test) that have typically been given during STAR testing. The EAP scores are sent to the California State University system. Students who score college ready do not have to take placement tests if they attend a California State University
Sophomores will take the Life Science CST (California Standards Test). The Life Science scores are required by the Federal Government for the No Child Left Behind program. This test will be given to all sophomores on Monday, April 7, 2014.
Freshmen and Seniors are not participating in state testing this year. It is important for students and parents pay attention to special schedules on testing days.

With some help from C1RCA TM Andrew, Tave and the rest of the crew finally made it out of San Clemente to grab some food and skate the Long Beach park before heading up to L.A.
Its obvious Tony is living the dream, and one thing that he has been really focusing on lately is giving back to the kids and people who might not have it so good. Element, C1RCA and Active all were down to help out with Taves mission for the day to put a smile on some kids faces.
We stopped by the new Long Beach skate plaza to meet up with Tave's dad and circa teammates Julian Davidson, Sierra Fellers and David Reyes. The dudes killed the plaza and decided that all their hard work for the day deserved a little reward, and what better way to end the day then with a party hosted by Rob Dyrdek at his Fantasy Factory.

Before you read this Mackeeper Review, I want to assure you that I've bought Mackeeper myself and used it for an extended period of time. This review is based on my experience with Mackeeper and in this review, I'll show you how Mackeeper can save you hundreds of dollars and actually make your Mac much more faster and cleaner. Mackeeper consists 16 different utilities and these utilities are worth more than $500 if you buy them individually. Just for an example, Mackeeper can recover deleted files from your Mac and If you buy a data recovery software separately, that would alone cost nearly $100 while a full license of Mackeeper costs only $40. This is not a false claim and anybody having two eyes can understand what I'm saying.

|Mackeeper 16 Powerful Utilities
|Operating System:
|Review Last Updated:
|January, 11, 2013
|Consumer Rating:
Mackeeper is a very powerful as well as useful utility for your Mac. Mackeeper can recover deleted files as well as protect your computer from harmful Viruses and Trojans. Mackeeper can protect your computer from malicious Mac viruses and It is rated as #1 antivirus software for Mac. You can use Mackeeper on your Intel or PowerPC Mac and It also works perfectly with Mac Lion. Mackeeper is completely safe and when It is running, you won't notice even a very slight impact on your Mac's performance. I'm breaking down this review in various sub-headings and also including latest screenshots so that you can see actually what's up with Zeobit's Mackeeper.
Installation of Mackeeper
Installing Mackeeper is very straightforward and you don't need to sweat at all to get the software up and running. When you download the software, you'll get a small installer file (approx. 370 KB) and once you run that file, actual installer file of Mackeeper will be downloaded directly from Zeobit's servers and installation wizard is fully automated. Here are the screenshots from the installation wizard :
After installing, Mackeeper will automatically add itself to applications as well as you can run it from your Mac's desktop. It shows up as a Bodybuilder's icon on desktop. Now I'll tell you more about each and every aspect of the software, what it does and you can see If its features are exactly what you are looking for. Mackeeper consists 16 different very useful utilities and I'm describing all of these utilities one by one. If you've any questions about anything, feel free to post a comment here and I'll personally respond to that. I've actually bought Mackeeper and here is the activation screen I got :
Please note that Internet Security and Anti-Theft features of Mackeeper are not installed by default. You need to install both these modules by clicking a button in Mackeeper and It doesn't cost anything additional. Installing Antivirus and Anti-Theft is not essential and you can use Mackeeper without installing both modules. However, both modules are very useful and we highly recommend installing them so that you can protect your Mac from viruses.
1. Internet Security
Internet Security is probably the most needed feature of Mac. Last year, a fake antivirus product had attacked lots of Mac computers and Mackeeper's antivirus engine can block those attacks easily. This module of Mackeeper blocks malicious websites automatically and protects hackers and spammers from taking control over your Mac. Mackkeeper uses several databases to keep track of known bad websites and when you are browsing the web using Safari (or any other web browser) and visit a malicious website coincidentally, Mackeeper blocks the malicious website from opening and thus saves your Mac from any harmful activities.
If you want to block certain websites on your Mac, you need to compile a list of websites you want to block and simply paste the list inside Mackeeper so that those websites are not accessible anymore.
2. Anti-Theft
Your actually never know when your Mac can get stolen especially If you leave your Mac inside your car or travel frequently in buses or trains. Mackeeper's Anti-Theft feature is very useful in this regard. You might be wondering about how it works and here it is :
A) First of all, when you install Mackeeper, you need to make sure that Anti-Theft is installed in Mackeeper and you've actually activated this feature.
B) Once your Mac gets stolen, you need to Log In into your Zeobit's Mackeeper account online, navigate to Anti-Theft and hit a button named "Mac Was Stolen".
C) As soon as the thief runs your Mac and goes online, Mackeeper will automatically take a Snapshot of the thief and his location as well as the Internet Connection he is using. You can use this report to locate the thief or hand over this information to police for further investigation. What else can be better than having a Snapshot of the thief?
3. Data Encryptor
If you share your Mac with someone or your want to protect some files on mac so that nobody can view them, Data Encryptor is a wonderful utility to protect your private files and folders so that nobody else can have access to them. For instance, If you've saved your banking passwords, credit card information and other vital information on your Mac, you surely want to protect it so that nobody else can view those. Data Encryptor makes your files invisible on your Mac and nobody can find them even by using Finder or Terminal.
To use Data Encryptor, first you need to create a password for Data Encrypter module in Mackeeper. After creating a password for the Data Encryptor, you need to drag and drop the files or folders you want to protect in Data Encryptor's work area. You can also use "Add" button to add files/folders you want to make invisible. You can also use AES-128 or AES-256 bit encryption to make this more secure. Create a password and click "Hide" button. The lock will close and the files will not be visible to anyone.
Next time, when you want to see those hidden files and folders again, you'll need to Log In into Mackeeper's Data Encryption module and unlock the folders you had locked. That's it!
4. File Recovery
The name says everything itself! If you've accidentally deleted files from your Mac and even emptied the trash, you can still recover those files on mac using File Recovery module of Mackeeper. Data Recovery products alone cost way more than Mackeeper's total price!
In Mackeeper, click on File Recovery option, select the partition where your files were located before deletion. Now click "Start Scan" button. Mackeeper file show you a list of files you can recover.
You can also recover deleted files from USB Hard Drivers, Pen Drivers, Memory cards and the list goes on. Please keep in mind that recovering deleted files on Mac also depends on how long ago those files were deleted from the Trash Bin. If the files were deleted a long time ago (say A Month) then It is somewhat likely that those files are now overwritten by another files and thus the recovery option won't be able to retrieve those files anymore. If you're looking to recover the files you've just deleted (or a few days before), you can be almost certain that File Recovery option will easily recover those deleted files for you.
5. Backup
You can use this module to create reserve copies of your important files and folders to a USB Flash Drive, a External hard disk or FTP. This utility is specially useful If you have some important documents you frequently edit and you want to make sure that you've backups of them in case something happens.
To use this module, all you need to do is, drag the files you want to backup in Mackeeper's Backup module and select If you want to backup the document manually or automatically. You can also select the default backup location and the three most recent back ups of the file will be reserved automatically on the scheduled time.
6. Shredder
Shredder is a very powerful utility to delete your files permanently so that even specialized recovery software can not recover those files again. For example, say you are selling your old Mac computer to someone and you want to delete the files beyond recovery, then this tool is the perfect one. You can also use it to delete files which you don't want anyone to recover anyhow from your Mac.
If you simply delete the files from your Mac and put them into trash and empty the trash, please be aware that those files are not actually gone. They can still be recovered by using a specialized data recovery software. To delete files beyond recovery, just drag and drop the files you want to delete permanently into Mackeeper's Shredder work area. Click "Shred" button and that's it.
Please keep in mind that this operation is irreversible so think several times before shredding a document as you won't be able to recover it later by any means.
7. Fast Cleanup
Fast Cleanup is a very useful tool to free up some hard disk space on your Mac. Although disk space is hardly a problem these days but in case you need to free up some additional hard disk space, you can use this utility. This feature includes 4 different drive cleanup utilities :
A) Binaries cutter
This removed unneeded parts of applications without harming their functionality.
B) Languages cutter
This removes unused language files from applications.
C) Logs cleaner
Removes log files which are not actually useful for a Mac user and not essential to run Mac.
D) Cache cleaner.
Removes cached files by the system.
You can enable or disable any cleaner module by dragging a slider. If disk space is not a problem for you, this feature is not very useful.
8. Duplicates Finder
This module of Mackeeper will search the entire hard drive to locate multiple instances of same files which are taking up the disk space. You can decide If you want to keep the duplicate items or simply remove them from your Mac. You need to click Duplicate Finder and then scan the Mac for identical files.
You can also find the duplicates in a particular folder. For example, you have a Photos folder and you want to find duplicate photos in that folders. You can simply select that folder and find duplicate files automatically. Duplicate finder can find the duplicate files even If you've renamed them. You can also add folders you want to ignore during scanning. Make sure that you review the duplicate items carefully before you remove them.
9. Files Finder
Files Finder is similar to searching files on your Mac using finder. File Finder utility of Mackeeper allows user to view only the select files types like videos, music or other. You can create your own preset custom filters to find the files that matches a certain criteria. You can also add more filter options to find the files quickly and easily.
10. Disk Usage
Disk usage tool scans all the folders and marks them with different colors depending on the file size. For example, If you don't know which files are taking so large space of your hard disk, you can use this utility to determine the disk usage.
Files less than 1 MB are marked green.
Files more than 1MB but less than 1 GB are Yellow.
Files between 1 and 10 gigabytes are Orange
All larger than 10 Gigabyes are Red.
You can adjust the colors and file sizes according to your desire in preferences. You can also delete the files If you want to or locate them in Finder and move them to any other volume on your hard disk. This tool is very useful to locate the larger files which might be deep inside your documents and you don't exactly remember their location. You can use this tool to locate those files and actually remove them If you don't need them anymore.
11. Smart Uninstaller
Smart Uninstaller is a very useful utility of Mackeeper to remove widgets, applications, preference panes and plugins. To start using this you need to click on Mackeeper's Preferences. Now click the "Advanced" tab and check "Show System Applications in Smart Uninstaller".
Now select Smart Un-installer and click on "Scan" button to see all the installed apps. The benefits of Smart Uninstaller is, It fully removes the applications and all the associated files completely. It doesn't leave anything behind and thus saves disk space.
There is also a section called "LeftOvers". This section shows remnants of applications which you un-installed previously. It means that If you un-installed an application even before installing Mackeeper and there are left overs, Mackeeper will detect them and show to you so that you can remove the unnecessary files from your Mac completely.
12. Update Tracker
Update Tracker is an absolutely amazing utility which tells you about the latest versions of all applications installed on your Mac. When Update Tracker scans your computer, It marks up-to-date applications with Green color and outdated applications with Red Color. For outdated applications, It also shows the version installed on your computer and the version which is available now.
You can update individual applications as well as all the applications at once. You can also add applications to the favorite list so they get updated frequently. Some applications will get downloaded automatically while for some other applications, you might need to download and update them manually.
13. Login items
Login Items shows all the applications which launch with start-up of your Mac. The more applications launching upon the System Login makes your Mac slower. You can remove the unwanted start-up applications using this utility and make your Mac run pretty much faster as the number of background process running will be lesser.
You can also add an application to Login Items If you want to. Adding an application to Mac Startup is very straightforward and you can easily do that.
14. Default Apps
Default Apps module shows the associations between your files and particular applications which open those files. In this module, you can see the default applications for each file type and change them If necessary.
Sometimes when you install a new application, It changes the file associations automatically. For example, you view your Pictures with "Preview" regularly and after installing another photo editing application, that particular application is now opening your pictures. You now want to change this and this is what Default Apps is meant for. You can change the way how a file opens by default and you can choose any application for a particular file type.
15. Geek on Demand
Geek on Demand is an enhanced support service that gives MacKeeper and non-MacKeeper related answers to any technical questions. The service is free for licensed users of the software and you can ask for technical assistance for many topics. You can also use Live Chat feature built within Mackeeper to chat with 24/7 live operators to resolve your queries within a few minutes.
Frankly, getting good support is probably the most important thing I personally consider before buying a product or service and Mackeeper handles it very well. All the questions are answered instantly and I'm not sure what else can be best. This is the most fantastic support I've seen from a software company.
16. Zeodisk
Zeodisk feature is currently in development and I asked support about when they are going to release it. They gave an estimate of about 4 weeks and probably It might take a bit more time. Sooner or later Zeobit is releasing this feature which will allow mac keeper users to store their files online like a Clound storage. More details on this feature will be revealed once this goes live.
Mackeeper is an extremely wonderful software and does lots of things for a very very small price. If you own a Mac, you must own Mackeeper, that's what I can say about this software. Contrary to what I thought, this software doesn't slow down Mac at all. It will run in background and you'll hardly notice it. You can close it down If you want and everything is very flexible. I highly recommend Mackeeper for every Mac user.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Love These
By Mean Jean
from Kissimmee, FL
About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Cooler Ice Pack:
Had a few of these, lost in hurricane Sandy. I use as a supplement (in addition to cubes in a bag) for traveling back and forth from NJ/FL twice a year to keep food cold in cooler. Will fit around different size food containers. Don't understand those who say it looks bigger; measurements are given, just measure out on a flat surface and you can see the size. Buying two more.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

Looked alot bigger in the picture.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
cooler ice pack good for more than food
By klewisAZ
from Scottsdale AZ
kept in the freezer - a few in ziplock bags, handy to use for low back strain and small injuries that would otherwise swell. ie ankles, elbows etc.... just pitch the zipbag and return to the freezer. They can be folded to accomodate the injury. They last a LONG time.
Love This Product
By Nancy
from St. Louis, Mo
We use it mainly in warm weather outdoors and indoors when we are serving buffet style. It keeps food chilled and lets them stay out for service longer.We have used this product for several years now and love it.
Smaller than it looks
By Hooligan
from Fargo, ND
It works but is smaller than the photo makes it look.
I would recomend this product.
By Lucy the frugal shopper
from Mansfield Pa
Works great, no dripping ice to bother with, use over & over again. Takes up less space than bulky ice cubes.
Easy to use and like that it is reusable
By Spritely
from Orlando
Used it in a small cooler for keeping sodas cool. It worked pretty good, but wish each pad was about twice as thick to hold more.
Easy to store and use
By Bargain Shopper
from Spokane Valley, Wa.
This ice pack is great for lumpy items you need to keep cold. It also makes a great ice pack for a sore back,shoulder or ankle because it can be molded to shape. It would be nice if it had velcro straps to hold it on though.

I am a paid Premium partner in the process of transferring a website into Business Catalyst for the first time.
I am running into an issue with the forms loading properly. Sometimes when I load the page, it seems that anything using the the <input> HTML tag has an increased width randomly. Other times, everything looks fine, without making any changes. It just depends on when I reload the page.
I'm not sure if its a bug with my CSS or if its a bug with the modules. Any help is appreciated! Below are the pics:
Note that each screenshot was taken within 5 seconds of eachother, and the only thing I changed was refreshing the page. No code was altered.
Any ideas?
Got a link to the site? Could be some javascript trying to do something, css error, html error of some sort.
Forms are not doing anything funny at the moment.
Yes you can check out the live site at http://virtuesite.worryfreewebs.net
Does anyone else have any ideas for a solution? I'm kind of stumped...
Is it doing in IE for you?
If you are I know what it will be.
Side note:
You got two character set meta in your head and your doing ../css etc when these should be /css in BC. You will run into issues not doing that.
So the templates have to be in the same folder as the stylesheets? Can you please clarify what you mean, I appreciate the help so far!
The issue is across all browsers, I'm on a macbook so I only test IE when I get on my desktop. My main concerns are webkit browsers and Firefox for right now, then I'll worry about IE.
CMS's need to understand locations. If you build a web app or have an ecommerce project that creates a tier URL structure or even if you have a page in the folder you have .com/something/page.
BC's implementation for relative path that ensures it to work 100% with the system is to just have the / at the start of the url.
So replace ../ etc with just the slash at the start of your src
The background appears because of this:
border: 1px solid #F2F2F2;
margin-bottom: 18px;
In: http://virtuesite.worryfreewebs.net/StyleSheets/ModuleStyleSheets.css
The reason this then disapears for some reason is because this file then 404's. The reason for this could be that you tried to delete it? You may want to contact support as this could be a caching issue.
I have started from scratch with the forms, and I'm starting to think it's a caching issue like you said.
When I update the ".blog-post .post-body { margin: 0 0 36px }" line to ".blog-post .post-body { 0px }" in ModuleStyleSheets.css and publish/save it to the server. The website still randomly shows the 36px bottom margin when I refresh the page sometimes.
I'll contact support. Thanks!

I love that he put out the can of Campbell's soup for the photograph. awesome.
Great place; I'd love to see more. Fun, but not "noisy" at all!
I wish there were more photos
Love it. Would love to see more!
83 sq m are about 893 sq ft...
Bright, clean, neat, and colorful...very cool!
The most beautiful flat I've seen! I want it!
Beautiful, I love every single detail.
LOVE it. style and fun throughout. want. :)
Rule #1 of covering European apartments: master the basics of metric conversion.
Huge fan of the glass block wall....everything is absolutely gorgeous! If I lived here I would have a constant smile on my face!
Very cute and playful. Love the bold bursts of color. Has a playhouse element, particularly in the bathroom.
This apartment is definitely larger than 272 sq ft. I'm guessing 83 sq m is right, which means this place is actually quite big. So more photos, please!

Lockers, Winch, and More!
What's Dat Winch?!
Q I am from Pennsylvania and spent two years working near Price, Utah (of course I had to stop and hang out in Moab for a few days after the job was completed!). While there, I purchased an '85 CJ-7 set up for rockcrawling.
This Jeep was in such good condition, it caught my eye the first time it was parked on the side of the road. A couple days later it had a For Sale sign! I stopped to ask about it. After taking it for a spin I ran to the bank and it was mine.
The winch on this Jeep isn't one I have ever seen before. I subscribe to many mags and have never even seen it in any of them. All of the decals, markings, etc., are long gone.
I plan on replacing it since I can't ID this thing and have no idea who to send it out to for an update or anything. I can't even put it on Craigslist since I don't know what it is. Hopefully one of you knowledgeable folks can tell me what I have.
Kristin K.
Grapeville, PA
A What you have is an old Superwinch Ox winch. These were offered in the '80s as a competitor to the Warn 8274 upright winch. If it works I'd keep it. Superwinch has made some great products, and there is no reason to get rid of this if it's still working. In fact, the Superwinch rep told me this is a great winch and many people are still looking for them. The company no longer makes this winch, however, so finding replacement parts may not be easy. Although surely there is someone out there who has some old stock parts, they're not going to be easy to find.
If you decide to replace it, I'd recommend going to the winch it was designed against, the Warn 8274. I have run this winch for years, and it is a big beast of a winch.
Sideways Lockers
Q I have heard that having both axles locked with low traction and being off-camber can cause the vehicle to slide down slope, whereas if you leave the axles unlocked you have a tire acting like a rudder to keep from sliding down the hill. I'm going to build a budget 4x4 soon and wondering if the extra cost of selectable lockers is worth it for situations like this (I won't be using it much on the street, so I don't care much about their benefit there).
Kenny R.
Via firstname.lastname@example.com
A You are correct that a vehicle with low traction and front and rear locking differentials has a tendency to slide sideways on loose terrain in off-camber situations. This scenario isn't uncommon off-road, but there is more to it than just full-time lockers. The vehicle only slides sideways when the tires lose traction. A sustained slow climb with proper gearing and tire air pressure can often assist in traction, whereas high tire pressure and abusive throttle application can break the tires loose and send the vehicle sideways.
Selectable lockers are a great tool and something I am fond of recommending, but a full-time locker or spool can be just as effective, just requiring different driving styles. I think the best of both worlds may be a selectable rear and a full-time front. This allows the vehicle to be completely unlocked when on the road in rear-wheel 2WD, and partly or fully locked in 4WD. But this again is up to debate, as some drivers like all selectable lockers, some all full-time, and some front selectable and rear full-time.
Box or Ram?
Q I'm a Jeep fanatic and my newest adventure is a '51 Willys truck. I'm having a hard time figuring out the steering. I believe that it's the original Ross steering box. The box is located toward the rear of the front axle with a large arm that pushes/pulls. The arm runs next to the tire and rubs at full turn. The most common upgrade that I have seen is to overbuild the front of the frame and use a Saginaw-style box. If you had the option of either putting the work into a Saginaw-style steering or using hydraulic steering, what would you prefer? If I understand hydraulic steering correctly it takes the torque away from the frame because it uses the rams on the axle. Is this correct?
Via firstname.lastname@example.com
A Your original steering gear is mounted to the inside of the driver's framerail behind the front axle. The sector shaft goes through the frame and forward to a bellcrank arm on the bottom of the driver-side steering knuckle. These systems get worn steering ends and can interfere (rub) on the tire at full left turn lock if you're running larger than stock tires.
There are a few different options for upgrading your steering: front-mounted manual steering box, front-mounted power steering box, front-mounted power steering box with ram assist, and finally you could go with full hydraulic steering.
If you are considering going to the front-mounted manual steering, all you are really gaining is clearance for the tire at full lock. Not a bad thing, but not worth the effort if you ask me.
I would recommend going to a power steering setup. This will make your Willys much more enjoyable to drive, and companies offer kits for mounting the new box on the front frame horns as well as plumbing and pump mounting on the engine.
If you are going to large enough tires that your front Dana 25 axle may begin to suffer carnage, but you still want to drive it on the street, then a steering box with ram assist is probably your best option. I'm talking about 37-inch or larger, and by this point you'll be looking for a stronger axle and frame and upgraded suspension.
I feel that full hydraulic steering is best suited for off-road use only, such as dedicated buggies and mud trucks. I know some 4x4 drivers have full hydro and run it on the street, but I and many of the steering aftermarket suppliers do not recommend full hydro for the street. Yes, it does remove much of the steering torque from the frame and the Willys had quite low-strength frames to start with compared to modern frames, but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle it brings in the form of odd on-road driving. It is easy to install, as you just need to mount a pump to the engine, an orbital valve on the frame at the end of your steering column, and the ram on the axle from housing to tie rod, plus all the appropriate plumbing and fluid reservoir and cooler. Ease of installation doesn't constitute the best option in my view.
