San Mateo, CA, United States, 2006/05/01 - Unlike traditional solutions, Elementals automation and adaptability to change enable large enterprises to deploy comprehensive host-level access controls throughout their networks.
Elemental Security, Inc., the award-winning pioneer of new technology in enterprise information security, today at Interop Las Vegas 2006 announced a new approach to network access control (NAC) for enterprises, one that integrates access controls with a broad policy and risk management framework. The Elemental Security Platform (ESP) is the only product today offering this functionality, due to its unified infrastructure tying in policy, configuration management, and inventory management with access controls. This unique solution is being publicly demonstrated this week in Elementals Booth No. 913 in the Security Zone on Interops show floor.
Managing access controls in large ever-changing networks continues to be a challenge. ESP provides a policy-based approach which is seamlessly integrated with access controls that are granular, adapt to observed change, and are continuously updated. Elementals policy and risk management product enables enterprises to continuously monitor machines configuration, inventory, activity, and policy compliance. With ESP, enterprises can now integrate the access controls necessary to protect key systems and information, satisfy their internal security objectives, and assure compliance with regulatory requirements. Additionally, ESP supports this unified policy infrastructure and access control capability across a wide array of operating systems, including Windows, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Mac OS X, and Linux. This assures that policy management and the implementation of access controls are pervasive throughout the network.
Elemental provides a complete network access solution, which ties in security policy management, configuration management, and inventory management into its network access control system, writes Robert Whiteley, senior analyst, in the June 2005 report Choosing The Right Network Quarantine Solution. As a standalone network access solution, it assesses managed and unmanaged devices, using its client-side agent to act as a policy firewall in controlling access. Elemental dynamically groups network resources, and role-based policies are automatically assigned as host group membership changes. If a noncompliant user is detected, then Elemental blocks that user at the client level.
ESP enables security administrators to restrict access of managed and unmanaged machines (such as guest workers), unauthorized personal devices, and machines outside of the network. Unlike labor-intensive and error-prone traditional solutions such as perimeter gateways; infrastructure-level ACLs, application and file permissions; and personal firewalls ESP provides automation and ease of administration through dynamic host groupings that allow role-based access controls to be extended throughout large organizations, decreasing the administration burden of controlling access and allowing companies to better manage risk.
Its a difficult problem to solve, but Elemental offers a new approach to role-based access controls, one that has been validated by customers, analysts and competitive reaction as differentiated and needed in todays ever-changing environments, said Elemental Chief Marketing Officer Roy Agostino. Elemental delivers a unified view into a users identity, applications running, hardware used and more, and this level of transparency increases an organizations knowledge about the changing state of their networks, leading to better decisions on how to address any issues. At Elemental we understand the dynamic nature of the network and we are unique in helping enterprises manage their security and risk with our automation, dynamic grouping, and policies that are tightly coupled with access controls.
Elemental provides the worlds only security policy system built from the ground up to make the state and activity of users and computers fully transparent, enabling customers to directly translate their business objectives into specific policies for all users and systems on their networks. Elemental unifies policy management, host configuration, inventory/discovery and role-based access control in one seamlessly integrated offering. Using Elemental, security administrators can easily assess the security posture of machines and networks, and make proactive decisions about managing risk. Security policy and compliance management continue to be top priorities due to increasing frequency and severity of security breaches, and regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Elemental also partners with large infrastructure companies and complements their network-level admission control solutions. ESP shares compliance results with infrastructure solutions at the time of admittance, and continuously monitors those same policies after machines are allowed on the network. This layered protection assures that machines are compliant before getting on the network, and that they remain compliant once connected. Computers that fail to meet the required compliance threshold can have their access to key systems restricted by ESP until any issues are corrected.
The Elemental Security Platform
The Elemental Security Platform is an enterprise security software solution that enables organizations to manage the policies and risk for any computer connecting to the network. ESP is a client-server security system that provides broad visibility into all hosts in the enterprise and the means to control them through auto-deployed security policies. The system consists of the ESP server and ESP agents running on desktops and server hosts throughout a network. Its architecture is unique in its ability to detect, monitor and control hosts with or without ESP agents running on them. The product has earned numerous industry awards, including InfoWorlds 2006 Technology of the Year Award, Information Securitys 2006 Product of the Year Award, and Network Worlds 2006 Category Breaker Award.

Snow White's Scary Adventures is a dark ride at Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. Located in Fantasyland, it is one of the few remaining attractions that was operational on Disneyland's opening day in 1955. It also existed at the Magic Kingdom, but closed on May 31, 2012.
Snow White's Scary Adventures opened on Disneyland's opening day as Snow White and her Adventures. Imagineers had designed the ride so that guests felt like they were the main character of the story; in this case, the guests were Snow White. Few people understood this concept and some wondered why Snow White herself was not featured in the ride. Some footage of the original version would be part of the 1962 film 40 Pounds of Trouble, which featured a lengthy sequence set inside Disneyland.
During 1983, all of the Fantasyland dark rides were expanded and redesigned as part of a large overhaul of Fantasyland. This attraction and the other dark rides were modified to include the main characters of the films they represented. Today, Snow White appears once in the attraction. The present outdoor façade was made to resemble The Evil Queen's castle from the movie.
When the Witch offered guests the poisoned apple in one scene, guests frequently tried (and sometimes managed) to steal the apple and bring it home as a souvenir. When Fantasyland was reopened in 1983, they solved the problem of the ever-missing poisoned apple by replacing it with an image of an apple projected by means of a parabolic mirror. Guests who reach out to steal the apple now find their hands passing through it.[1]
The Magic Kingdom's original version of this ride also put the guests in the role of the story's main character (Snow White). Around Christmas of 1994, a less-frightening version of the ride took its place and appearances by Snow White were also added. The redesigned ride took some cues from the Disneyland Paris version, including increasing the capacity of each ride vehicle from four to six passengers.
The Magic Kingdom version closed for good on May 31, 2012 to make way for Princess Fairytale Hall.
Attraction summary
Guests enter the ride building through the Evil Queen's castle. Overlooking the entrance is a high window whose curtains are parted every few minutes by the Queen. A metal gold-colored apple is within reach of guests standing in the queue. Touching the apple causes the disembodied voice of the Queen to cackle menacingly. Guests wind their way through a dungeon inside the castle, passing by a book of poisons. The book reads, "One taste of the poisoned apple and the victim's eyes will close forever in the Sleeping Death..." The background of the boarding area is a forest setting dominated by the Dwarfs' cottage.
The mine cart ride vehicles resemble the beds of the Seven Dwarfs, but are officially considered "minecarts," and feature the names of each dwarf on the front of them, much like their beds in the film. After guests board the vehicles, they enter the Dwarfs' cottage. Here, the music and yodeling from "The Silly Song" can be heard. Guests pass Snow White and some of her animal friends climbing the stairs to the cottage's second floor. The guests then move past the Dwarfs, who are performing "The Silly Song". Happy is on bass, Grumpy is on organ, Bashful is on accordion, Doc is on mandolin and Sleepy is on fiddle. Dopey is standing on Sneezy's shoulders.
When guests leave the cottage, they pass by the Queen and her pet raven, peering through one of the cottage windows as the Queen divulges her plans to get rid of Snow White. They then pass the Queen's castle then enter the Dwarfs' diamond mine, which is full of jewels of many colors.
Guests then pass under a branch with two vultures perched on it. A false path leads guests to believe they are entering a cave, but the vehicle turns toward a different path and enter the Queen's castle. There, they see the Queen as she stands before her Magic Mirror with her beautiful reflection saying, "Magic Mirror on the wall..." She then turns and faces the guests. They see that she has become an ugly, green-eyed, toothless hag with a wart on her nose. "With this disguise, I'll fool them all!" she adds. This effect is achieved by two models—one queen and one witch—rotating on different sides of the 'mirror', which is actually a sheet of transparent glass. Projections and LED lights create the effect of cobwebs and electricity running through the walls.
The guests continue on to the castle's dungeon, laden with skeletons, who warn guests to turn back. Nearby, the Witch is in her laboratory, where she is creating a poisoned apple for Snow White. She heads for the Dwarfs' cottage in a small boat, bumping into the guests on her way out.
The guests wind their way through a menacing forest. Here, trees have ugly faces and branches like talons or grasping hands. Bats fly everywhere and logs resemble snapping crocodiles. The echo of the Witch's cackle is heard throughout the forest scene, implying that she is chasing the guests. The guests then turn toward the Dwarfs' cottage. The door opens to reveal the Witch, who offers the guests the apple, bribing the guests by saying phrases such as "Just one bite!" and "Taste the apple!" (the apple was originally a physical object, but Grad Night guests made it tradition to swipe the apple, so it became an optical illusion in the 1983 rehab). Guests turn towards a mountainside where the Dwarfs pursue the Witch. Nearby, the Witch tries to roll a boulder down the mountain to crush the Dwarfs and guests below. However, a strike of lightning causes her to tumble to her death; her scream is heard as guests exit to the unload area.
Arriving at the unload area, guests pass a giant book featuring a silhouette of Snow White and her Prince with his horse as they walk away towards a castle. The words at the bottom of this picture read "And they lived happily ever after." The unload area also features a mural depicting Snow White, the Prince, the Dwarfs and the forest animals bidding the guests farewell. The guests then disembark from the ride vehicles and exit back out into Fantasyland.
Magic Kingdom
The original Walt Disney World version of the ride in 1971 was very different and inarguably much scarier. The witches were much more realistic than their animated counterparts. There were also seven witch figures in this version, while there were only six in the second version. The queue was similar to Tokyo's current queue. It featured the Dwarfs' mine and their house was visible in the distance. Guests began by entering the castle in a scene very much like the 1994 version; however, there was no Snow White cleaning. Upon entering, the guests saw a mirror, but not the magic one. The Queen transformed into the Witch and disappeared until a raven began to shriek. It was reacting to the witch, who was then seen at the cauldron around the corner. The riders "crashed" through the dungeon walls and escaped through the dark forest, bumping into the witch on her boat along the way. Soon, the guests arrived at the Dwarfs' cottage to see the animals peering in at them. They passed the Dwarfs (in their only appearance) walking up the stairs to the wall perpendicular to their room to investigate a scary shadow floating on the wall, which was initially intended to be assumed to be the witch; however, she was seen literally right around the corner, meaning that the shadow was a ghost, as the Dwarfs had guessed. On the way out, the Witch was waiting at a window with the apple, sliding into view on the top half of the door similar to in the movie. Riders would again escape into the forest, where the Witch would come out from behind a tree and offer you the apple for a fourth time. The final scene was the diamond mines, where the Witch appeared on top of the door to the mine, tipping over one of the wooden support beams; by this point she had given up on using the apple. A mine cart, pushed by the witch, would run out of control and nearly hit you. Her final appearance was on top of the door to the vault, prying an enormous jewel from the rocky outcrop and onto the riders. Riders would then enter a room full of flashing cartoon strobe lights, with the witch's cackling still in their ears, echoing like a skipping record. The guests would then crash through the wall to return to the boarding area. This version followed the film least accurately of all of the versions.
In 1994, the Disney World attraction was completely redesigned to be similar to the upgraded Disneyland version, but in a different order and with a few new scenes, as well as one scene being omitted. Guests board by a mural depicting the cast of Snow White and begin their ride in the Queen's courtyard where Snow White is seen working outside. The Queen is watching her (and the guests) from her window. Inside the castle, the scene is similar to the Disneyland version (with the Queen turning into the Witch and working at her cauldron), although the Magic Mirror has been added. The ride continues into the forest and we see the Huntsman telling Snow White to run away. She can be seen with a terrified expression after a flashing strobe light goes off. We then see the Witch on the boat and the forest similar to the original version and then into the Dwarfs' Cottage, where the Dwarfs sing to the Silly Song. In a new scene, the riders pass the Witch giving Snow White the apple, then emerge from the cottage to see her gloating that she is fairest in the land. From there, guests went through the forest, where flashing strobe lights revealed that the witch was in the forest with them. Guests ride through the mines where Bashful and Sneezy call to them to stop the Witch. We then see the Witch and Dwarves on the cliff. After her comeuppance there is a new happy ending with the Prince waking Snow White amidst the cheering Dwarfs. Dopey is seen above the bridge, on leaving, waving to all the passengers. Guests then travel through the open doors under the bridge and disembark. Ironically, this version followed the film most accurately out of all of the versions, but was the replacement for the least movie-accurate version.
On May 31, 2012, the attraction closed and was replaced by Princess Fairytale Hall as part of a major expansion of that park's Fantasyland.
When the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train opened in 2014, many of the Dwarf and animal figures from the Silly Song scene were recycled for use in the new ride, as were the two vultures. The Witch received a new design which looks the most accurate to the movie and less scary.
Disneyland Park, Paris
Disneyland Paris' ride is basically the same as the current Disneyland version. The only real difference is a happy ending similar to Disney World's. However, in this variation, instead of passing the Prince waking up Snow White and then Dopey on an arch, all the Dwarfs, the Prince and Snow White are on an arch, with Snow White sitting on the Prince's horse and waving the guests goodbye. On the left side of the guests, the Prince's castle is seen above the clouds. The cottage at the loading area is replaced with a mural of the characters. The ride is also called Blanche Neige et les Sept Nains, which is French for "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".
Tokyo Disneyland
Tokyo Disneyland represents a mix of all the other versions. It begins in the courtyard then into the castle where the Queen transforms into the Witch, moving on to the dungeon and passing her on her boat. After going through the forest, guests enter the cottage and see the Dwarfs singing, with Snow White watching from the stairs. Exiting the cottage, guests find the Witch outside waiting for them, they see the Queen's castle then enter the mines. They approach the cottage again to find the Witch is once again waiting. The ride ends like Disneyland's version, with the Dwarfs and Witch on the cliff. There is no happy ending

Winona Ryder feels "incredibly lucky" in life.
The 40-year-old actress recently reminisced about her ascent to stardom.
She credits her family with helping her stay grounded while she pursued an acting career in her teenage years.
"I have been incredibly lucky and have had many, many great opportunities along the way," she told the Hollywood Reporter.
"My parents tried to help me avoid getting caught up in the world of movies."
Winona made her film debut at the young age of 15 in 1986's Lucas.
She shot to fame two years later when she starred in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice, but her parents shielded her from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.
"Even after I started getting a lot of work, the family never moved to Los Angeles," she revealed.
"When I was in school I could only act in the summers. I still did my laundry in a laundromat until I was in my late 20s in part because I didn't want to lose perspective on what was happening around me."
Winona was most recently spotted walking the red carpet at last night's Venice Film Festival.
She was there promoting her latest film, The Iceman.

can microdermabrasion be used on the neck along with the face?
Can Microdermabrasion Smooth the Neck?
Doctor Answers 1
Microdermabrasion and Obagi are a Great Combination for the Neck
In our office, we do our microdermabrasions using the new Vibraderm Skin Restoration System. Our Vibraderm machine uses a slightly abrasive paddle for non-surgical exfoliating treatments for dull or rough skin, age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne and acne scarring. It allows for the gradual resurfacing of skin without the risks, side effects and down-time of other, more aggressive alternatives. We frequently treat the neck along with the face. Many of our patients are simultaneously using the Obagi ELASTIderm® Décolletage System with tretinoin cream for neck and chest rejuvenation and these treatments help to enhance penetration of the Obagi products.

This is one of Peter Annaud's very first scenes and as you can imagine he is a little shy to begin with. Luckily his partner for the day is Adam Archuleta, who is so charming and relaxing that he can draw anyone out of their shell.
Despite his initial blushes, Peter has no trouble getting into the swing of things once Adam pulls off his pants.
Given that both guys are very well hung, it is a fitting scene to come before our next Offensively Large scene coming up on Saturday.

Report: Broncos OC Adam Gase withdraws as Browns head coach candidate
Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase has been linked as a leading candidate for the Browns' head coach job for weeks. When Gase declined to be interviewed during the Broncos' playoff preparation, the Browns were left to consider and interview other candidates, while waiting for the Broncos to lose. The Broncos have kept winning -- all the way to Super Bowl XLVIII -- but the Browns no longer have to wait on Gase.
On Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reported Gase thanked the Browns for their interest but informed them they should move on in their search.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported a Browns official said the team would not wait around to hire Gase.
Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot reported last week that Gase was unlikely to accept an offer for the Browns job.
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported Gase will stick with his plan to not consider a head coach job until 2015, so he can spend another season growing as a coordinator and working with Peyton Manning.
The Browns reportedly have already been turned down by Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles.
Cabot tweeted Tuesday that the Browns are believed to be planning second interviews with Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and Bills offensive coordinator Mike Pettine.

Florida Georgia Line's New Song "Stay" is a Cover of a Rock Song by Black Stone Cherry
"Stay", from Florida Georgia Line's "Here's to the Good Times" album, may sound like a FGL song but it's far from it. "Stay" is a passionate song of heartbreak. Nothing like their fun loving party songs "Get Your Shine On", "'Round Here" and "Cruise". I think Florida Georgia Line did an awesome job covering Black Stone Cherry's "Stay". Listen to "Stay" by Florida Georgia Line, then check out Black Stone Cherry's original version.

The Bradley County Grand Jury declined this week to indict Cleveland City Councilman George Poe in connection with a May incident where he fired a handgun at a car containing burglary suspects.
Charges of aggravated assault and reckless endangerment were referred to the grand jury last year. Mr. Poe, 65, said he shot at Randall Brogdon's vehicle after the driver tried to run him over after stealing his son's lawnmower on May 22, 2009.
Later Mr. Poe spotted Mr. Brogdon and his wife in another area of Cleveland and alerted police.
Tenth Judicial District Attorney Steve Bebb recused himself from prosecuting the case, handing it over to Russell Johnson in the 9th District in Kingston.
"This effectively ends the case, as far as I am concerned," Mr. Johnson said Tuesday.
"Technically, you could bring the case back but our office won't do that," he said. "I have already sent the closure letter to the TBI."
Mr. Poe could not be immediately reached for comment.

Official Deplores Low Algeria-Libya Trade Level
The Chairman of the Algerian Chamber of Commerce and Investments (CCI), Ali Habour has deplored the "very low" level of economic relations between Libya and Algeria, describing the volume of trade between the two countries as "shameful," Panafrican News Agency reported.
Habour was quoted last week by the agency as saying that "the trade volume was less than two million US dollars, pointing out that "one should not even talk about volume when one knows that the exchanges between each of the two countries and the rest of the world, put together, exceed 15 billion dollars."
The Algerian economic delegation to Tripoli, comprising about 50 representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as Directors in the country's Trade Ministry and representatives of the private sector, is expected to examine ways of strengthening economic relations and co-operation between Algiers and Tripoli -- Albawaba.com

Boyce banking on Wigan experience
Emmerson Boyce believes that Wigan's experience of fighting relegation battles will help them to stay in the Premier League.
• Brown: Relegation takes centre stage as United clinch title
Saturday's 2-0 defeat at West Ham has left Roberto Martinez's side three points adrift of safety - a gap that will increase if Aston Villa take anything from Monday's trip to Manchester United.
April has been a mixed month for Martinez, who guided Wigan to the FA Cup final for the first time in their history, but has seen them collect only one point from a possible nine.
Boyce, though, is refusing to panic because the club have past experience of escaping trouble.
They have secured Premier League survival on the final day of the season twice with dramatic away wins at Sheffield United in 2007 and Stoke in 2011. And the Latics won seven of their final nine matches to stay up last season - beating Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal in the process - having been bottom of the table in mid-March.
Boyce told Wigan's website: "It's down to us now to make sure that this football club stays in the Premier League. We've been through it before and we know what we need to do. This is another challenge for the team and it is time to rise to that challenge and get the points to secure safety."
Four of Wigan's final five matches are against teams in the top half of the table, and two of those games are against sides chasing Champions League football.
Tottenham, who are fifth, come to the DW Stadium this Saturday, with a trip to third-placed Arsenal to come on May 14 after a visit to West Brom and a home game against Swansea.
"We know exactly what's at stake and we know that only winning will do now," Boyce said. "There are a lot of points still to be won and we need to make sure we start collecting them in the next game.
"It would have taken some pressure off if we had won against West Ham but it wasn't to be and it just means we need to try even harder and play better against Tottenham next weekend."

Specialty & AP pistol ammo
I'm new to this forum (posted a few times last year), and I've recently joined a bunch of forums in my effort to reach out to anyone who is interested in what I am interested in: special-purpose gadgety pistol ammo. The weird stuff with odd tips; exploders, multiball, darts, cutters, slicer, dicers, expanders, plastics & teflon. I have an extensive history in collecting & researching and a large collection. I'm with the International Ammunition Association (IAA), and I have written a book on the topic of pistol-caliber armor piercing ammo which is my main point of collecting. Below are pics of the stuff I collect; a reference sheet I made for pistol-caliber AP ammo, a box of mixed caliber specialty ammo, and a box of 9mm specialty ammo. Please ask questions or let me know if you are interested in collecting this stuff as well.
KTW Teflon, American Ballistics, National Cartridge, Alia armor piercing, Omnishock, Geco Metal piercing, Remingotn Hi-way master, Peters Highway patrol, SIB armor piercing, Arcane 9mm, VBR ammo, SCMITR, GEA Cyclone, 7.62x25 API, ALPHA 9mm, CBAP 9mm, ANSB, Libra Snail, M39/B, 6.5x25 CBJ, PPS MSC, 224 VOB, 223 timbs, Magsafe, Beehive, armscor strike 3, equalloy, hydrashok, village metalworks safe stop, multiball, kawser pingrabber, kawser pin grabber, velet exploder, velex exploder, FXlabs, D&D omega star, Thunderzap, BBM hardcap, cobra gun HSA, Hirtenberger EMB, DAG Action-3, simunition, Aguila IQ, Triton quick shok, Hi Vel Hypersonic, Mesko Hornet, Mesko Mosquito, Mesko Wasp, XM261, KTW 22 pokey, etc...
Interesting. I didn't realize all those types of ammo was still legal.
That is cool, wish I had that collection for show. Thanks for bringing this to the board.
I thought armor piercing ammo was not legal. AM I wrong?
Nice collection- I only have a few of those- and I think I recognize a subsonic subcaliber round for an AT-4 in there- hard to find those.
Legal? Feds regulate importing and manufacturing AP handgun ammo, and sales by importers and manufacturers- not possession. From 18 USC 921 (a)-
" It shall be illegal.........
(7) for any person to manufacture or import armor piercing
ammunition, unless -
(A) the manufacture of such ammunition is for the use of the
United States, any department or agency of the United States,
any State, or any department, agency, or political subdivision
of a State;
(B) the manufacture of such ammunition is for the purpose of
exportation; or
(C) the manufacture or importation of such ammunition is for
the purpose of testing or experimentation and has been
authorized by the Attorney General;
(8) for any manufacturer or importer to sell or deliver armor
piercing ammunition, unless such sale or delivery -
(A) is for the use of the United States, any department or
agency of the United States, any State, or any department,
agency, or political subdivision of a State;
(B) is for the purpose of exportation; or
(C) is for the purpose of testing or experimentation and has
been authorized by the Attorney General; (!1)
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the great post and cool pics.
I recently found an old box of my "oddball ammo". Geco BAT rds in 9x19, .25 MSC, some of the old Devel .45 with the primers in the cavity, a box of the .45ACP copper with the black plastic inserts (like the MSC), etc. Seeing yours makes me want to dig them out for display.
pistol AP ammo laws
For the full run down on pistol A ammo laws, the easiest thing I can do is direct you to my lengthy explanation that I gave to another guy here: Specialty & AP pistol cartridges - THR (post #14). There are a few specific state laws, bans in CA, TX, IL, and wash D.C. and near bans in KY, and NJ. FL & RI have bans on truncated pistol AP ammo only, while other states have bans on Teflon coated ammo only (just KTW ammo). A couple states have bans on exploder ammo, but otherwise all that oddball ammo is legal.
Man, you have some weird looking stuff in that box. :)

About 2 weeks on the new program, definitely notice tiny breakouts on my forehead, and larger pimples popped up on the other side of my face. Crossing my fingers this is just normal, and that it'll go away. The skin between my nose and my cheeks, in that little flap, is super dry: trying not to put it there. Using "Gorgeous" moisturizer from Lush on the dry parts.

wikiHow to Remove Townies in the Sims
Are townies getting annoying now in the Sims? You always want to play them but you can't! Here's a guide on how to get rid of Townies in the Sims.
1Make sure you are friends with pretty much all the townies. This will really help.
2Make a new room in your house or find a room that you no longer want. For the purposes of this article, this room will be referred to as the "Death Room". You need to place a lot of ovens and carpets, or a fireplace and a lot of carpets.
3Get every townie you can over for a party. You can't keep all of your Sims, unless the Sim is good at getting out fast.
4Get all the townies in the Death Room, light the fire or put something in the oven, and get out. Delete the door.
5Sooner or late a fire will go all over the first carpet, then the next, and so on. The townies will hop around and scream for help before burning.
6Congratulations! You got rid of the townies! If you still have more to get rid of, repeat this.

Some 10,000 police officers from all over the country will be on duty in Amsterdam during Tuesday's investiture of king Willem-Alexander.
However, there are no signs that tomorrow will see a repeat performance of the riots which disturbed the investiture ceremony of Queen Beatrix in 1980, the Volkskrant reports.
At the time, smoke bombs were set off during the balcony scene following the ceremony and there were violent clashes between squatters and riot police in other parts of the city.
The riots, instigated by the squatter movement, were a reaction to the lack of affordable housing. The slogan of the day was 'Geen woning, geen kroning' (no home, no coronation).
Police commissioner Jan Pronker, who will be in charge of operations, was there as a young police officer and fired a tear gas grenade. This time around police action will be 'relaxed', he told the paper.
'The climate has changed, Amsterdam is a tolerant city. A placard saying 'Down with the queen' won't worry us. But when more people demonstrate we will intervene and refer them to the designated protest areas in a friendly manner.'
The paper reports that an anonymous poster on squatter website Indynews, has called for a demonstration at the Waterlooplein at 12.00 tomorrow but squatter organisations have said they know nothing of large-scale actions against the investiture.
The Waterlooplein is one of six designated demonstration sites. Anti-monarchy groups The Nieuw Republikeins genootschap (the New Republican Society), It's 2013, and Pro Republica are planning a peaceful 'Down with the Monarchy' get-together with concerts and poetry readings, according to media reports.

Recently I needed to install the WordPress Plugin WP-Polls onto a website to conduct a survey of the website's visitors. It's a great little plugin, and works very quickly and easily allowing website owners to create polls and have their visitors vote in the poll.
It's also very topical considering the current EU referendum!
Anyhow, after installing this plugin I noticed it wasn't actually working as expected. It outputted the question and the poll answers sure enough, but the 'Vote' button didn't work when clicked on, and neither did the 'show results' link. It was as if the button was deactivated.
A quick search on Google revealed that this was a common problem, with a couple of possible causes and fixes. As I'm often frustrated at the way WordPress.org closes down its support forum threads before someone has (more…)

Castlevania: Dracula X
Review by DarkSaiyan20
"A review from a gamer who hasn't played the PC Engine Dracula X."
After a very successful release in Japan, Konami decided to bring us a port of Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo for the PC Engine. Unfortunately we never got a true port of the game. I am told that it is one of the best in the series but until they release it here I'm not bothering tracking it or the hardware to run it. So the only options myself and the rest of us loyal Castlevania freaks have is to play Dracula X on the Super NES. It may be nowhere near a direct port but it's good enough to satisfy us. If we can find it that is. Dracula X ends up being one of the more rare Super NES titles along with Mega Man X3. Why it has to be like this I'll never know. The primary question is whether or not this one is worth it considering it's not a direct port. Well it depends on what you're looking for. If you're after a direct port then avoid this one at all costs. If you're after challenging Castlevania gameplay then this one is all for you. I'd like the reader of this review to know that I'm rating this game by itself as opposed to rating it against it's inspiration. It was never released stateside and I've never played it so basing a review on it would be illogical. So read on if you've never played the PC Engine version.
Story - 7/10
It's the late 1700s and Dracula has again been resurrected. This time by the dark priest Shaft. Knowing the Belmonts have been a thorn in his side since the beginning Dracula decides to kidnap Richter Belmont's girlfriend and her sister. Richter grabs the infamous family whip and heads out to save the two girls and confront his destiny by slaying Dracula. Interesting little plot twist here as there are damsels in distress. Not a bad story for an old school Castlevania title. Of course it's just average for the time too. When and if your girlfriend and sister are rescued there is a vain attempt to move the storyline along. It doesn't come out real well though.
Graphics/Sound/Music - 9/10
For a Super NES title the graphics are impressive as you see Richter moving around alot. When at a standstill he bounces up and down as if he were in a fighting game. All enemy and boss sprites are easily distinguishable. The backgrounds are impressive as well. Especially that first stage. Between stages a map screen appears as it has in recent Castlevania titles but it looks alot better here. More drawn out then say Bloodlines or Castlevania IV. As for sound it's pretty good as well. The whip doesn't really make that slashing sound anymore. Of course a game like this doesn't need to have spectacular sound effects so don't expect to be wowed by them. Now that leaves us with music. Man I have to say I'm impressed. The music gets you more pumped up than it did in Super Castlevania IV. If only they had included Simon Belmont's theme. All the recurring themes have a more upbeat feel here. Excellent job in sound and graphics.
Gameplay - 8/10
Classic Castlevania gameplay so there's not really much to tell. The multi-directional whip is gone but the stairway jumping returns from Bloodlines. All the sub-weapons have returned with a couple new features. You can now drop sub-weapons upon picking a new one up. It gives you a chance to get your boomerang back in case you picked up the stopwatch or something to that effect. Also a new item crash system has been added. How this works is that with a certain number of hearts you can use your sub-weapon to perform a super desperation attack and usually wipe out most enemies on the screen. It's not really that useful though but it is funny to try it out when you have the key. Another feature is the multiple path system we last saw in Dracula's Curse. It's not as great here but it gives more control over which ending you see. As always the handy password feature returns to save your progress so always have a pen and paper ready. Overall most of the gameplay is average. I give more points for trying something new though.
Fun Factor - 6/10
An interesting addition to the series. It's not really great but not really bad either. It would've been nice to play in it's original form but I don't see that happening here in the US anytime soon. However this one suits me fine. It's not too difficult compared to some of the older games. At least until you fight Dracula anyway. Prepare for a major headache in that battle. I won't spoil it for you though so you'll just have to see for yourself. As for replay value I can't really see myself playing this one very often. I was satisfied when I finished it and haven't touched it since. However there are several endings but once you see one of them the final boss battle will keep you from wanting to see the others. Overall I'd say beat it once if you must then put it in your collection and just be happy you own it as it is really hard to find for a decent price.
To buy or not to buy?
I only recommend this one to the hardcore Castlevania fan or the Super NES collector. It's hard to find and can be really expensive. I paid $80 for mine on Ebay with the box and instructions a few months ago. That's right $80. I paid the same for Mega Man X3 but at least I had more fun with it than I did with this title. If you're someone out there just looking for a few fun and cheap Super NES games than avoid this one. Unless of course some sap is selling it dirt cheap then pick it up because it is valuable.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.0 - Great

According to a Hollywood Reporter story, "Twentieth Century Fox is taking aggressive steps to keep its movie and TV scripts off of the Internet." The complaint in question is a suit against Patricia McIlvaine, a Long Island woman who posted approximately 100 scripts online. You'd think living in Long Island would be punishment enough, but Fox wants $15 million. The only new script named in the suit was for Deadpool, the upcoming Ryan Reynolds movie. Hey, guys? Just say they're suing her over Deadpool. Who cares if scripts for old movies are online? Who reads a script for a movie they can just watch? What is this, reverse college?
Cliff's Notes me while I hit this beer bong, Yahoo:
On her personal website, McIlvaine describes herself as a "struggling screenwriter who sells flowers over the phone by day and writes scripts by night." [I smell Katherine Heigl vehicle! –Ed] She says she collected scripts that were already posted on the web and made a free online library of scripts in order to assist other screenwriters. She's already soliciting donations for a legal defense fund.
Fox's lawsuit mentions various scripts including "Aliens," "Edward Scissorhands," "Wall Street," and "Glee."
Ooh, Glee scripts. Yes, God forbid the Gleeks have access to spoilers like, "Gwyneth Paltrow ruins popular song." (Serious, this clip is worse than cancer). I guess what the paranoid old farts are worried about is someone reading a script, telling everyone it sucks, and people staying home (even though, in this case, reactions were pretty positive). But as we've learned, the cardinal rule of Hollywood is that No One Ever Reads Anything. Fox is shooting themselves in the foot by not letting the eager do their jobs for them. After all, what could've prevented a line like, "I know it sounds like Star Wars love, but you could do it, you could be Captain America," better than someone actually reading the script?

4 Eggs at Gulf Tower
Dori, the female peregrine at the Gulf Tower, laid an egg last night.
We couldn't see that she had four until both she and Louie were away from the nest.
In this photo you can see Louie on the left, nearly hidden by the pillar, about to come incubate the eggs.
The egg count is Pitt: 5, Gulf: 4.
March Madness, anyone? 😉

Well maybe the low pressure from the oncoming storms yesterday brought the eggs too. Wow, wonderful. Lot of work ahead for both nurseries next month.
# faith cornellon 24 Mar 2011 at 12:16 pm
PS: See there are now 4 out in Harrisburg also. Food must be plentiful for all the mothers.
# Donnaon 24 Mar 2011 at 2:04 pm
Way to go , Dori! But who's keeping score? 🙂
My friend was watching the cam during the storms Wednesday afternoon and said she saw Dori being pelted with hail! 🙁 I hope she is okay!

The gulf nest seems so much cleaner than the Cathedral nest!

Yes, Dori is fine. Peregrines are strong birds. She had a job to do (protect her eggs) and she did it well!

Add bumpier transatlantic flights to the list of consequences from global warming. Clear air turbulence, the type of turbulence that comes when wind changes direction in the middle of a clear blue sky, can sneak up on a pilot.
"Turbulence is a problem not because it's uncomfortable, but it causes injuries," said researcher Paul Williams of the University of Reading in the UK. "The thing about clear air turbulence is that the pilot can't see it." So when a plane hits it, passengers and crew might not be strapped in or they may be walking about the cabin. That makes it pretty easy to suffer broken bones and even fractured skulls.
So you'd think that anything that might increase clear air turbulence would be the focus of a lot of research, right?
NEWS: Gravity Waves May Cause Clear-Sky Turbulence
"I was surprised. I looked through the academic databases and I found nothing," said Williams. The reason, he said, is that it's an area of research that crosses two very different fields -- those who study climate and others who study aviation weather forecasting. Williams is one of the very few people who has a foot in both of those fields.
So Williams ran a climate model that looked at the atmosphere over the Atlantic Ocean, which currently sees about 600 flights per day. He factored in the sort of doubled carbon dioxide, warmer climate conditions that are expected in coming decades. What he looked for, in particular, were changes in the stratosphere's jet stream that could lead to more areas of turbulence.
One of the biggest signs of more turbulence is more wind shear, which is where fast-moving air is roaring right alongside a layer of slower moving air. That sort of situation creates unstable air and turbulence.
PHOTOS: Animals Benefiting from Climate Change
"Climate change is increasing the destabilizing influence," said Williams, whose work is published in the April 8 issue of the journal Nature Climate Change.
Long-term climate models and even daily aviation weather models can't predict the turbulence itself, but they can predict the conditions that are known to be associated with clear air turbulence, explained John Knox, a clear air turbulence forecast researcher at the University of Georgia. It's the same thing that's done in forecasting tornadoes.
"Do we actually model tornadoes in forecast models? No," said Knox. But the larger scale conditions that lead to tornadoes can be forecast. This is the approach Williams took for the clear air turbulence.
"That's the right way to do it," Knox commented.
Airline passengers may be facing more frequent turbulence as the planet warms, finds research.
Trees and shrubs are taking hold on what was once tundra, like this young pine and surrounding shrubs in Norway's Arctic Finnmark.

Mariska Hargitay sure has a lot to be thankful for as she celebrates her 48th birthday Monday.
Not only is the star kicking butt as Det. Olivia Benson in her 13th season on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but the actress -- who married actor Peter Hermann in 2004 -- has three adoring little ones to come home to after grueling days on set.
"I think because I became a mom later in life, everything in life means more," Hargitay, who welcomed her first child, a son named August, in June 2006 at age 42, has said. "Every day is deeper and richer and more soulful. Life is more sacred. Therefore, work is so much more now because I understand and value everything a little bit more."
And her life has only become more enriched since adopting daughter Amaya and son Andrew, both within a six-month period in 2011.
"This is a dream finally realized," a source tells Us Weekly of the family's now expanded brood.

Carbon monoxide is a hazard any time and anywhere there is a fuel source (wood, gas, kerosene, coal, oil) that is incompletely burned. People have inhaled deadly fumes emitted by vehicles, generators or grills in garages attached to a home or apartment building when fumes seep inside. Hunters and fishermen can be poisoned by running propane heaters in trailers, cabins or fishing shanties. Boaters have been poisoned with fatal results from being pulled behind boats on body boards. Typically, the most common source of carbon monoxide is a faulty furnace or wood stove, or when heating with a gas oven or propane heater. But water heaters, clothes dryers and fireplaces are other common sources of the gas. Here are some tips on how to keep your family safe:
• Carbon monoxide in its pure form is odorless, colorless, and tasteless and about the same density as room air, so it is hard at times to tell when one is being exposed. Levels can build over time or with an acute exposure. People become ill with very non-specific symptoms including headache, nausea, dizziness and confusion, and they may think they have the flu. More severe exposures lead to vomiting, loss of consciousness and death. When an entire family feels ill at home but symptoms disappear when they are out of the home, a "red flag" should warn everyone that something is not right.
• If carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected, open windows or doors immediately for ventilation and leave the house/area immediately. Once in fresh air, call your poison center for advice, or if someone is seriously ill or unconscious, call 911. Pregnant women who are exposed to carbon monoxide are at special risk since their baby can be exposed to higher levels than the mother.
• There are often state and local regulations governing placement of CO alarms in a residential setting, so check with your local fire department or other agency to make sure you are in compliance. Carbon monoxide alarms are often required on each level of the home (not an attic or garage) if there are any fuel-burning appliances inside. They are usually placed near sleeping areas when possible.
• Read and keep the instructions with each alarm regarding placement, cleaning and battery life. Some carbon monoxide alarms are combined with smoke alarms, but since carbon monoxide alarms need to be replaced every five years and smoke alarms can be good for up to 10 years, they can be purchased separately.
For questions about poisons, call your local poison control center toll-free at 1-800-222-1222.

Teaming with Wildlife is a national grass roots organization that includes wildlife managers, conservationists, hunters and anglers, and businesses. The national steering committee includes the American Fisheries Society, American Zoo and Aquarium Association, Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation, Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, Izaak Walton League of America, National Audubon Society, National Wild Turkey Federation, National Wildlife Federation, Nature Conservancy, Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, Wildlife Society, Wildlife Conservation Society, and Wildlife Management Institute. The group is calling for new and greater funding to support full implementation of recently completed State Wildlife Action Plans, which lay out clear needs and actions for wildlife conservation in every state. To help launch the campaign, more than 150 people from 43 states flew to D.C. to speak with their elected representatives. Plateau Land & Wildlife Management* CEO and former Nature Conservancy of Texas leader David Braun led the Texas mission to Congress, representing the recently reorganized Texas coalition for Teaming with Wildlife. Accompanying Braun were representatives from the Nature Conservancy and National Wildlife Federation Texas chapters and the Texas Committee on Natural Resources. The group met with Texas congressional delegation offices, including members of the Congressional Sportsman's Caucus. A letter supporting the effort was signed by Texas Representatives Lloyd Doggett, Solomon Ortiz and Gene Green. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Biologist Steve Bender was also there to provide information and answer questions about how TPWD has spent State Wildlife Grants funds. Bender recently led development of the Texas Wildlife Action Plan. Such plans are required of all states to continue to receive SWG federal funding. "In the same way that treating a cold before it becomes pneumonia prevents a costly trip to the emergency room, taking proactive measures to conserve wildlife before they become endangered is cost-effective and smart," said John Cooper, president of the International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. "The states need money to implement their new wildlife action plans, which will help avoid costly future problems and conserve wildlife and natural areas for our children and grandchildren." Since 2001, State Wildlife Grants have provided more than $366 million to states across the nation, including $18.3 million for Texas. For many decades, U.S. game and fish conservation has been funded partly through federal excise taxes on hunting and fishing equipment. In 1938, Congress created the Pittman-Robertson/Wildlife Restoration federal aid program. In 1950, federal lawmakers followed up with the similar Dingell-Johnson/Sport Fish Restoration program. Congress more recently created SWG, earmarking funds to conserve non-game animals. The idea is to "keep common species common" by proactively identifying problems and solutions before species become rare. The State Wildlife Action Plans are the result of a collaborative effort by scientists, sportsmen and conservationists. Every state and territory submitted a plan to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service by the Oct. 1, 2005 deadline for review and approval. These plans will guide wildlife conservation projects funded through State Wildlife Grants program. President Bush's fiscal year 2007 budget includes $74.7 million for the State Wildlife Grants Program, a $6.5 million increase over last year's enacted appropriation. Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and Senator John Warner (R-VA) are leading a 'Dear Colleague' letter in the Senate supporting $85 million for State Wildlife Grants in FY '07, as are Congressmen Ron Kind (D-WI), Saxton (R-NJ), Mike Thompson (D-CA), and Robin Hayes (R-NC) in the House.

And late spring through summer is alligator mating and nesting season, when gators are more likely to be visible. "Springtime is when alligators are most active," said Monique Slaughter, a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologist who helps run the state alligator program at the J.D. Murphree Wildlife Management Area in Port Arthur. "Courtship and mating begins in late spring and continues through early summer. April through July are peak months for nuisance gator calls." Department game wardens and biologists stress education rather than over-reaction as a first step in dealing with gators and suggest a "live and let live" approach whenever possible. In recent years, there's been a steady rise in alligator complaints logged by the communications center at the TPWD Law Enforcement Division office in La Porte, many of which are not true "nuisance" alligators. "We now have procedures in place where we can educate callers that alligators are not normally aggressive, and if you leave them alone they'll leave you alone," said Capt. Albert Lynch, who supervises game wardens that respond to alligator complaints in the Houston area. "When you have an aggressive alligator there's no doubt, but a lot of the calls are from people who just have no idea that there are alligators here and have never seen one before." In Texas, no fatalities have been documented due to alligators. In the past 15 years, there have been 17 injuries due to alligators reported to TPWD statewide, none life threatening. Slaughter said alligators dig dens known as gator holes in levees and banks along bayous, sloughs, or other secluded areas. During the winter, these dens offer protection and cover. In mid-summer, females build nests near these sites. When hatchlings hatch out, they stay close to the gators holes for safety. During drought periods, these holes may be the only water source for alligators and other wildlife. Slaughter also said that TPWD estimates there are about 286,000 alligators in Chambers, Jefferson, and Orange Counties, but no statewide population estimate exists. Alligators currently are found in 120 of the 254 counties in Texas. Hunting statistics for the past 15 years show the average adult Texas gator is seven feet long and weighs 60 pounds. In 1969, a state law that preceded the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 protected the alligator. A combined effort by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and state wildlife agencies in the south brought the alligator back, allowing it to rebound in many areas where it had been depleted by unregulated hunting and loss of habitat. The alligator was removed from the endangered list in the 1980s. Since 1984, sustainable hunting has been allowed in Texas and Louisiana. In October 2003, it became a Class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $25 to $500 for any person who intentionally feeds a free-ranging alligator. Use of bait for legal hunting by licensed hunters or nuisance alligator control hunters is not interpreted as feeding. Alligator experts say the most important rule for the public is to never feed an alligator or allow it to get food. Once an alligator loses its natural fear of people it must typically be killed, since if relocated it would only seek people to find food and become a problem somewhere else. People should keep a safe distance from gators of 30 feet or more. Besides never feeding wild alligators, these tips should reduce the risk of an alligator conflict involving you or your pets: keep your pets on a leash or in a penned enclosure, don't get too close to or swim in areas where alligators are commonly observed, don't harass or agitate an alligator, never approach an alligator nest or a pod of young alligators that a female alligator might be guarding, remember that alligators are most active at dawn and dusk in the warmer months of the year, and always treat them with the respect they deserve as wild animals. Information about alligators, including safety tips for Living with Alligators, research reports and basic natural history, is on the TPWD Web site. --- On the Net: http://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/alligator/safety/index.phtml -30-

Ronald Reagan has a folksy, homespun manner, but neither his policies nor his life-style quite conveys the image of a populist President.

Officials: No invasive species in Michigan lake
KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) - The Michigan Department of Natural Resources says no new invasive species have been found after a day of collecting fish and other aquatic species in Morrow Lake.
MLive.com reports scientists are asking the public to look out for unusual plants or animals that may have come to the area in the four years since the Enbridge oil spill.
State fisheries biologist Seth Herbst says the dredging and cleanup work that's happened since the oil spill has made the area particularly vulnerable to invasive species. The Calgary, Alberta-based pipeline company leaked crude oil into Talmadge Creek and the Kalamazoo River in 2010, spilling about 843,000 gallons of oil. The river runs through Morrow Lake.
Herbst says invasive seeds, eggs and small creatures can travel on equipment used to clean up spills.
