The Spy Cables: How South African intelligence was diverted — and PERverted

Carl Pettit is a writer and editor with interests ranging from international relations and political humor to the arts and modern media.
Christmastime should be about family, generosity and good cheer, but sometimes there are a few baddies lurking about to spoil everyone's fun. We're talking about nasty Christmas villains here. Thankfully most of them are merely figments of some storyteller's imagination. But not all of them. There are always a few real life Yuletide rogues out there just waiting to make a mess of the winter holidays.
Most people are familiar with the massive, and very impressive, Christmas tree that graces New York City's Rockefeller Center every year. This tree has come to symbolize the holiday season for millions of people, and is something of national icon, appearing as a backdrop in countless movies and television specials.
This week, families will come together from all across the nation for Thanksgiving. They will stuff themselves full of turkey, side dishes and desserts. Some will laugh and joke with relatives, while others renew old feuds and bicker with their cousins and siblings. No matter how your particular Thanksgiving winds up, you can thank the American Pilgrims for starting this long-standing custom.
Bizarre presentation, unusual flavor and the "oddball factor" add new elements to this great tradition. If you're feeling playful and adventurous, you could add a few of these items to your menu.
The weather may be getting a bit colder, but that doesn't mean you have to hang up your hiking boots for the season. You still have plenty of fall left to head out into the countryside for some extended walks through America's most stunning parks and nature reserves.
These days, most of the turkeys people gobble down are fattened up on farms. They're only pale (under their feathers) imitations of the lean, mean turkeys roaming through the woods of North America...
The universe is a pretty amazing place, from the unimaginably large, right down to the incredibly small. There's an awful lot going on in this field we call "existence."
If you're a TV and cinema buff, as well as a barfly, you just might be able to combine your passions together. The characters inhabiting our film and television fantasy worlds need places to hang out, just like we do.
A seductive woman shrouded in mystery and danger is sometimes said to be a femme fatale. The term is French for "deadly woman." There have been many famous femme fatales in movie history, like Catherine Tramell (played by Sharon Stone) in "Basic Instinct," or the animated Jessica Rabbit in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit...
"Canyoning" to the rest of the world, known as "canyoneering" in the United States, is a sport that combines the adventure of rock climbing and bouldering with hiking and orienteering, as well as rappelling, cliff jumping and some very difficult swims.

When I started collecting comics hardcore in 1986 (meaning, monthly or bi-weekly visits to an actual comic shop), one of the first comics I snapped off the rack was Punisher issue 5 — that'd be the limited series that preceded the ongoing.
Man, what an f'in cover! It was my introduction to the massively talented Mike Zeck (whom we'll have future blogs about), but really, what made that cover leap off the rack was the striking airbrush painting by Phil Zimelman.
Does anybody know where this Zimelman guy is now? Google searches don't come up with much…if anything, I'd just want to thank him for producing many comic book cover (and poster) illustrations, which made me want to learn how to use an airbrush. (Which I did years later, but never reached the heights Zimelman did…I guess one day I'll try to digitally!)
Their collaborative process probably was Zeck tightly pencilling on illustration board, then handing it off to Zimelman to airbrush over. Or something like that.
Aside from the Punisher limited series covers, they did quite a few Punisher posters, at least two Captain America posters, and at least one Iron Man poster. The Iron Man poster I'm having a bitch of a time finding a shot of with a Google image search…I'll know it when I see it, because at one point, I owned it! It was Iron Man flying towards the camera, with a background of the armor's schematics, sorta blueprint looking. Would love to see it again…for Copper Age Comic nostalgia's sake!
Oh, and almost forgot; I have seen a Zeck / Zimelman original in-person, the cover painting for the Punisher: Return to Big Nothing hardcover, published through Marvel's Epic line. It was on display at one of the legendary Creation Conventions (probably over the Thanksgiving weekend in '89 or '90), that'd take over the Hotel Pennsylvania aka Penta Hotel in NYC, before the place started to really fall apart. More about that in a future blog!
More info / resources:
Here are the covers of the Punisher limited series from 1986, on Comics.org…
…there's a shot (but unfortunately, not a great one) of one of the Captain America posters here…
…and here's an interview with Chuck Costas, an original art collector, who owns the actual original paintings to the first two issues of the Punisher limited series!

Shoe Powered Generator
Shoes made for walking and producing power
When the shoe moves, it generates a charge which is converted to electricity for charging batteries or powering small electronics
City that flips seasonal temperatures
Uses summers hot air to heat buildings throughout winter
Located in Swiss Universities Science City Campus
It will harness the natural summer heat and pump it underground to be stores
When the temperature starts dropping the warm air will be pushed back up into buildings where it will act as a heating system
Allow the university to manage energy while minimizing carbon emissions
Will be completed in approximately 2020
1. Thin layer of sand
2. Printer sprays sand with a magnesium-based glue to bind the sand to rock
3. Rock becomes built up layer by layer, eventually taking the shape of whatever object its destined to become
small generator in its sole
Green Economy
According to the UNEP
''one that results in improved human being and social equity, while significantly reducing enviromental risks and ecological scarcities''
Although economic growth and enviromental stewardship can be complementary to eachother, the idea of full employment while decreasing the use of resources may conflict
Companies that reduce their energy consumption will have an obvious advantage in the market due to low operational costs
They'll be able to free up their budget for other projects and investments
Increased Business Opportunities
Consumer Pressure
Companies failing to be environmentally conscious will face public pressure to change their mindset
Failing to do so could impact them as consumers will avoid them and go for companies with more sustainable models
AD and Investment
Impact overall sustainability of the organization and bring long term benefits
Allows company to align itself with how the world is changing
Some government agencies and commercial businesses mandate that only businesses that meet specific green standards can bid on their contracts
Conserve Money
Why Should Companies Go Green
Better Sustainability
Economic Benefits Of Green Technology
Offers same functionality as many traditional technology
Decreases spillovers because there will be a decrease in environmental pollution
Able to inject new economic growth because of the creation of new businesses and job
investing funds in a green economy will in the short run create jobs, dampen upward oil prices
more than 12,000 clean energy jobs today
the green industry opens several doors for aspiring entrepreneurs and creates many job opportunities
possible areas of expansion include organic agriculture, green building constructions and green energy
expected to attract new customers who will see the many advantages of using green technologies in their homes
Increase Home Values
installing solar panels increases your home value by 3.5% on average (usually cost of installation)
price varies from $20,000 to $40,000 depending on size, but installers also offer financial plans and lowers monthly electricity bill
86% of Canadians say that in buying a home they would choose one home over the other based on its energy efficiency, not taking in as much of the price
Energy Star LED bulbs
each year they reduce emissions equivalent to
pounds of greenhouse gas emissions
33 million
in energy costs
(slightly more expense than incandescent light bulbs but lasts 10-20 times longer)
Drawbacks Of Green Industry
Cost of implementation (installation, training, updating, tech support) (High start up costs)
Because green technology tends to be on the pricier , they are known as normal/superior goods
green energy technology facilities are expensive to build
green technology may create jobs, but it depends on how much money will be spent upfront to create them
Economic Efficiency
Realizing the most effective use of productive resources; producing a given level of output with the fewest possible resources and generating as little waste as possible
ability of company employees to adapt to change
ease of use and effectiveness
eg. a lot of people want solar installed in their homes but they can't afford the initial investment. (8000 to 15000)
Results of the new industry will produce 147.7 billion in output, 64.3 in labor income and 6.9 billion in indirect business taxes
Shifts In Supply Curve
Better technology lowers production costs in which businesses make more profit
Supply curve shifts to the right
Because of the increasing demand for green business offerings (clean energy+water), their money making potential is high which translates to more business opportunities
Because this is a relatively new industry, there will be little barriers to entry since there are few competitors
Creates entire buildings from solid rock
4 times faster than constructing a conventional building
Costs 1/3 to 1/2 the price of cement and creates little waste
Creates cyclical unemployment because of the decrease in the demand for resources

Canada deals with post-Olympic refugee claims
Canada is dealing with some fallout from the Vancouver Olympics, with seven foreign visitors applying for refugee status including two from Japan.
Canada's immigration minister Jason Kenney says it is ridiculous that anyone from Japan could claim to be a refugee.
Mr Kenney says Japan is a liberal democratic country with full human rights protections, but he would not say what the two Japanese were fleeing from.
Four of the claimants are from Hungary, which has become a problem for Canada's immigration system.
Mr Kenney says Ottawa is getting several hundred refugee claims from Hungary every month but says about 97 per cent subsequently withdraw their claims.
He suggests the high numbers could be because refugee claimants are allowed to work and collect welfare and other social benefits in Canada, even after they abandon their refugee claims.
The seventh refugee is from Russia.
Mr Kenney says changes to Canada's immigation system are on the way.
Topics: immigration, refugees, japan, canada, hungary

text: I live on Long Island. We have every season (in extremes.) Gardening has always been something for me to do with my young daughters. We buy plants, stick them in the ground, and wait to see what happens. Other than that, not much gardening experience. We bought a blueberry plant (the girls got VERY excited over it) and I have no clue what to do with it. Should I even attempt planting it into the ground or should I plant it in a pot and bring it indoors during the winter?? It came with a tag with directions on it (for planting into the ground) but I'm intimidated and the plant is so beautiful (LOTS of blueberries on it already) that I hope to not destroy it. Anyone with advice?

Has withstood ocean elements for 20 years.
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) October 29, 2013
On a warm summer day at the pool or the beach, there can be massive amounts of people in the swimming area for a lifeguard to watch. For this reason alone, it is important that a lifeguard stays comfortable and alert during their shift. The popular lifeguard supply company, Lifeguard Master, offers a variety of high quality lifeguard chairs and towers.
Lifeguard chairs and towers sold at Lifeguard Master come with many features that make a lifeguard's job easier and more effective. The chairs were designed with comfort in mind, which helps a lifeguard stay more alert during their shift. These chairs also withstand hard ocean elements making the chairs perfect for beach watching.
Most of the chairs and towers come with an umbrella holder to protect lifeguards from the sun as well as a hook for ring buoys or accessories making grabbing these items in an emergency easier. Chair stands have no slip steps assuring safety for lifeguards. The best part is that these chairs and towers are maintenance free meaning it never peels or chips, never needs painting and never rusts. For more information on this, please go to: http://www.lifeguardmaster.com/lifeguard-chairs-stands-and-towers.
These lifeguard chairs are the highest quality chairs on the market and are the most cost effective lifeguard chairs available. The chairs offered on Lifeguard Master are made of a poly material and stainless hardware that is exceptionally strong and withstands mega amounts of wear and tear. All of the major parts are pre-assembled before shipment and the chair comes almost fully assembled for easy setup.
When Lifeguard Master first started making these chairs, they put them in the ocean water and after 20 years in the ocean water, they are still standing strong due to the high quality products and assembly Lifeguard Master does.
Not all lifeguard chairs are the same and the ones sold and manufactured by Lifeguard Master definitely stand out in quality. When shopping for a lifeguard chair, one has to look at how comfortable the lifeguard is going to be. An uncomfortable lifeguard will be focused on other things and not on his duty of the people in the swimming area. A lifeguard also needs a chair that will last and can withstand the surrounding elements. For more information on this, please go to: http://www.lifeguardequipmentandapparel.com/cat/lifeguardchairs
For less crowded swimming areas, a smaller chair is acceptable and a busy swimming area should have a slightly taller chair to watch over everyone. Tall chairs and towers are beneficial in busier places so a lifeguard can view deeper into the water by being higher up. This way a lifeguard can view anyone under the water that may need assistance. This can become a life-saving option for busier swimming areas. A Lifeguard Master employee said in relation to tall chairs "I was a lifeguard for seven years and one time I saw someone at the bottom of the pool that needed help. I then rushed in and saved that person."
Another benefit of a tall lifeguard tower is if anyone needs to find a lifeguard in an emergency, all someone has to do is look up and see the chair and the person sitting in it. People will easily be able to find the lifeguard and know who to go to in an emergency which is incredibly beneficial in a crowded area. Tall lifeguard chairs can also serve the purpose of knowing who has authority of the pool and enforces the concept of the lifeguard being in charge of the swimming area including the deck. For more information on this, please visit: http://lifeguardshirt.com/lifeguardchairs/.
Lifeguard Master offers incredible customer service in any category that someone orders from. One customer said, "You are great! I am so impressed with the quality, pricing and mostly the speed with which I received my order. Thank you so much! I would recommend you to anyone. I am very happy!" To view a video on this, please click on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRBl1CB_wAg.
Lifeguard Master has been in the emergency and lifeguard industry for many years. Sammy, the owner and founder of Lifeguard Master has been a lifeguard himself for 7 years. He knows what it takes to be an effective lifeguard and through the years has built a quality lifeguard store to accommodate for the anticipating needs of lifeguards around the country and around the world. Lifeguard Master's determination to excellence and water & rescue safety has quickly made it a leader in its industry.

And the liquid cooled version is pretty insane.
A handful of online retailers have started listing preorders for the upcoming Radeon Vega Frontier video card, and while this gives us solid details on the card, it also reveals a rather steep asking price. The air-cooled version of AMD's latest costs $US1199, while the fancier liquid-cooled version will set the upgrade-addicted back a steep $US1799.
But then, this isn't exactly a consumer product.
Guru3D picked up the news, and also has the copy from the pre-orders themselves. This is a big-iron card aimed at scientists, game developers, graphic designers, and other creatives. But it'll also play a mean round of Doom.
Here's the important stats:
- ~25 TFLOPS Peak FP16 Compute Performance.
- ~13 TFLOPS Peak FP32 Compute Performance.
- 16GB High Bandwidth Cache.
- 64 Next-Gen Compute Units.
- 4096 Stream Processors.

One of the great lost albums of classic European progressive rock gets the reissue it deserves.
In the wake of England's progressive rock renaissance at the cusp of the' 70s, the success of bands like Genesis, Jethro Tull, King Crimson and Yes inspired groups all across Europe to invest in Moog synthesizers and copies of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. One of the finest outfits of the heavy prog persuasion to emerge from this movement of odd-metered boogie was Belgium's Waterloo. Originally released in 1970, the album First Battle is where the wispy psych-folk of Incredible String Band meets the organ-heavy bombast of early Uriah Heep, and it was long considered to be one of the greatest European prog-rock albums. Original copies of its first pressing on the Vogue label are said to go for incredible sums of money on eBay. This single-disc, expanded edition of that LP, from the Spanish label Guerssen Records, adds six bonus tracks of previously unreleased session outtakes and newly penned liner notes, and is definitely worth checking out if you have a hankering for obscure Euro prog.

I recently had a girl night where we wanted finger foods for a tea party. I'm so glad I remembered these wraps; I hadn't made them for years! They were perfect. I love that they are so simple to make, and taste SO GOOD! You could have them for a meal, or as a snack.
You need tortillas, cream cheese, turkey slices, and some chopped green onions.
I first put a layer of cream cheese on the tortilla, add a few turkey slices, sprinkle the green onions, and then roll them up.
It doesn't get much simpler than that!

Financial Institution Consulting Corporation, FICC, of Memphis, Tennessee, works exclusively with financial institutions and is the preeminent employee benefit and executive compensation planning firm in this field.
Since its inception in 1988, FICC has established hundreds of plans that help institutions meet the long-term goals of directors and employees, while improving the financial performance of the institutions and satisfying all applicable regulatory regulations.
FICC is a privately owned C-corporation. Majority shareholder and principal owner, Larry Chinn founded the company, driven by a belief that an organization's financial performance can be effectively improved through employee motivation.
Like the financial institutions we serve, we know that the foundation and strength of our company hinges upon the quality of our employees. FICC's personnel are leaders in the industry and include CPAs, attorneys, and financial analysts with extensive expertise in regulatory, tax and accounting considerations for executive compensation plans.
In 1988, Mr. Chinn created FICC and established it as a preeminent leader of non-qualified deferred compensations plans. As the President and CEO, Mr. Chinn oversees legal, accounting, compliance, and underwriting issues of the benefit plans. It is Mr. Chinn's firm belief that the success of a non-qualified plan rests on communication with the plan participants; therefore, Mr. Chinn makes himself widely available to plan participants to answer their questions.
Prior to founding FICC, Mr. Chinn served as CEO of another bank consulting firm, where he provided a full range of consulting services with emphasis on employee benefits and executive compensation planning, as well as the formulation of bank holding companies. In private law practice, he focused on financial institution regulatory law, executive compensation planning, and securities and tax litigation. He has been a frequent lecturer at seminars for financial institutions, and has authored several published articles on ESOP planning for financial institutions. He earned salutatorian honors with both his undergraduate degree and law degree at the University of Memphis.

Yemen: After being driven out of occupied territories Al Qaeda vows to return to mountains and caves
An article by a Yemen-based journalist relays reports from an Al Qaeda leader in Abyan province who claims Al Qaeda has decided that it is too costly in terms of money spent on providing services to occupy cities and large swathes of territory. However, this expenditure no doubt helped them win over the populace in cities they controlled. Providing services was something the central government did not do well.
The leader said that the group used to spend in the city of Jaar 300,000 U.S. each month and in the whole of Abyan province 2 million U.S. dollars per month. One wonders where they were able to get the money. In any event it seems clear that the militants were simply unable to defend themselves against the Yemen armed forces combined with U.S. drones and supervision. They were bound to eventually lose the territory they had occupied.
The militants say that all their funds now can be directed to guerrilla war and terrorist attacks. Several cities were held by the militants for a year and a half..One wonders if the militants will not also mingle in with the general population in cities and plan terrorist attacks against Yemeni security forces and any American Special Forces they discover. For more see the full article.

On March 31, Maile Alau and Kaipo Granito, from Hawai'i Maoli, held a workshop in Hilo to assist clubs with their Ho'olako grant proposals. Blossom DeSilva and Bev Byouk attended, then submitted a proposal to purchase a digital projector and laptop computer to aid in club activities.
On April 14, a number of club members marched in the Merrie Monarch Parade in Hilo, proudly carrying our club banner, while some of our kupuna rode in a traditional sampan.
In May, we purchased an Epson digital projector, which is being used at our weekly 'Olelo classes, as well as our monthly meetings.
In May and July, club members attended and sold tickets for the Hawai'i Council fundraising project, Cabaret Shows at the Palace Theater in Hilo and Sheraton Keauhou in Kona.
June 9 – Members participated in a Genealogy Workshop at the LDS Church in Na'alehu. We received permission from Kalani Meinecke to use his song, 'A'ali'i Ku Makani, as our club chant.
On June 16, members marched or rode in the Kamehameha Day Parade in Kailua-Kona.

Psycho: The Truth About Mother
It's difficult to pluck a single disturbing scene from a film filled with as many twists and turns as Hitchcock's Psycho, though pop culture parodies have made the choice a little easier. Psycho's climax – where Norman's dual personality is revealed - still remains horrible, simply because it's so overtly grotesque and violent in a film that hid much of its grotesqueness and violence behind shadows and symbolic imagery. It turns Psycho's most famous thrill, the shower scene, upside down; the famous slasher silhouette now in three obscene dimensions, accompanied by a reprise of composer Bernard Herrmann's famous strings. The scene is a little more lurid than what had gone before, but it's nonetheless chilling to the bone.
Funny Games: One, Two, Three
Michael Haneke's '97 horror (remade ten years later for American audiences) was a self-reflexive examination of cinematic sadism intended to test the theory that modern audiences have become completely desensitized to horrific imagery and extreme violence. To pluck an ultimately disturbing scene from such a smorgasbord of cruelty isn't easy, but we've settled on 'one, two, three,' where our two home-invading psychos play a counting game in order to determine who they'll kill next. One leaves to fix something to eat; we hear a gunshot, followed by a woman sobbing and the sound of a scuffle. It's not hard to guess which of the family members – mum, dad or their little boy - now lies dead.
The Descent: Original Theatrical Ending
Neil Marshall's 2005 chiller The Descent was released in two versions: an original and an amended North American cut. The American version had a minute shaved off its end, a response to the negativity surrounding the hopeless finale of the original, which had long since departed British cinemas. Whether you prefer the change or not comes down to a matter of taste, but there's no denying the chills of that original ending. In the American cut, our heroine escapes from the cave populated by sub-human goblins in a momentous last-ditch effort. In the original, our heroine escapes in the same cathartic manner, only for it to be revealed that she has, in reality, descended into a new kind of madness.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers: Sutherland Screams
The film that briefly validated remakes, the '78 Invasion of the Body Snatchers has one of the most chilling twist endings of all time, a brilliant betrayal of our trust in the film's narrator and/or a bleak reminder that humanity is doomed. It all comes down to a perfectly-restrained performance by Donald Sutherland as Matthew, who we believe to be the only remaining survivor in our motley crew of non-pod-people, until he spots fellow human Nancy. And then – as the pod people do when they sense a human in their midst – Matthew screams. Cue credits and the barely audible snap of your psyche.
Se7en: Sloth Wakes Up
John Doe's third victim, introduced as Victor but commonly remembered as Sloth, arguably provides David Fincher's high-concept thriller/horror Se7en with its most disturbing scene. Each victim in his seven deadly sins murder project has a certain nauseating je ne sais quoi, but none quite touches the confronting explicitness of the emaciated drug dealer and pedophile tied to his bed for a year in the name of Doe's sick poetic justice. What really disturbs isn't the rotting sight of him, however, it's the moment when a cop leans over, right up close, and whispers "you got what you deserved...."
...and then Sloth wakes up.

We do it a couple times a week, sometimes more or less depending on our schedules. Last week it was every day, lol. It's pretty pathetic now though. I have to be half sitting up in order to not have heartburn the whole time. We have to use lube or it's incredibly painful for me. It's definitely not as enjoyable as it used to be, but I do feel sorry for dh if I don't give in at least every now and again. He'd like it every day twice a day if it were up to him. No thanks!

Alternative Title: hamuli
Learn about this topic in these articles:
...basal section of the rachis is called the calamus, part of which lies beneath the skin. The barbs, in turn, have branches, the barbules. The barbules on the distal side of each barb have hooks (hamuli) that engage the barbules of the next barb. The barbs at the base of the vane are often plumaceous—i.e., lacking in hamuli and remaining free of each other. In many birds each contour...

Actor Ryan Phillippe discussed shooting technique as well as policy issues as he plugged his new action show "Shooter" in an interview with The New York Times.
For the show, Phillippe practiced long range shooting in preparation for the character Bob Lee Swagger, a Marine sniper framed for murder, in Camp Pendleton with some of the Corps' finest marksmen.
"On my second shot, on a 12-inch target, at almost 900 yards, I hit it. And they were dumbfounded," he said. "This story can be verified."
Phillippe described the Zen-like approach he learned to tackle the practical challenge. "The breathing is absolutely essential," he said. "You have to gently pull the trigger at the very bottom of your exhale because even your heartbeat can throw off the accuracy of the shot at that distance."
As for gun control, Phillippe said he agreed with gun laws like background checks and regulations for automatic weapons. But he said it isn't so cut and dry. In big cities, he said it's easy for people to say not everyone should have guns.
"But there are a lot of people in rural communities that might be 20 minutes away from a police station or an ambulance. So how are you going to tell somebody like that that they can't?" he said. "There are many different realities and you can't apply your worldview to all of them. It's just not fair."
The television show is an adaptation of a book and movie of the same name. "Shooter" was set to debut in July, but was postponed twice in the wake of mass shootings in Dallas and Baton Rouge. It debuted on Tuesday.

Wednesday night's episode of American Horror Story: Roanoke was not like the show has ever done before."Chapter 6″ at last gave us an on-camera take a gander at Cheyenne Jackson and a full prologue to the My Roanoke Nightmare performing artists and "genuine living" motivations — and we discovered that the show, while generally effective, essentially destroyed their lives. Following quite a while of not having the whole cast on a solitary scene, the group at last got back together — which additionally included Jessica Lange. Sort of.
At the point when performing artist Agnes Mary Winstead (Kathy Bates) takes a seat for a meeting with My Roanoke Nightmare indicate runner Sidney (Jackson), she specifies the two biggest parts an on-screen character can play: one of which is Mary Tyrone from Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night. Lange simply wrapped up that character in Broadway's restoration of the great play.
Lange told Entertainment Weekly in 2013 that Freak Show would be her keep going season on the spooky arrangement, referring to the show's six-month duty as an explanation behind a break. "I want to have more time to myself I guess. Once it's over and I have a full year ahead of me with nothing to do, who knows?" she said. Her keep running on Long Day's Journey into Night endured from April to June 2016.
Fans dependably trusted Lange would return, yet as of this written work, she has not. In any case, that doesn't prevent AHS from hurling for the sake of entertainment gestures like the one above to respect the alum.


text: My computer has a Nvidia GeForce 6800, two gigs of RAM, and a good 4 Ghz processor. From what i could tell, my computer should've been able to run Oblivion on high settings. When i switch to high however, the game lags extremely bad. I have to run the game at low settings just to get rid of the lag. Is there a problem here, or is my computer just sucky at the moment?

Jason Reitman's "Labor Day" is a soggy soap opera revolving around baked goods and improbabilities. Based on Joyce Maynard's novel, it tells of Frank (Josh Brolin), an escaped convict, who while on the lam encounters the recently divorced Adele (Kate Winslet) and her 13-year-old son, Henry (Gattlin Griffith), in a sleepy rural New Hampshire store over Labor Day weekend in 1987.
Forcing her to take him home, he proceeds to bind her up and then cook — his real passion — along the way seducing Adele, who is depressed over her failed marriage and a miscarriage. Her emotions seem to come pouring out with each bite. First it's with chili and later, pie, all this with Henry curiously observing. A grown-up Henry (Tobey Maguire) is the narrator of the story, and, not surprisingly, going into the baking business. (No wonder, if you think the best way to get a woman is to tie her up and make tarts.)
You have to wonder what Reitman, the director of much better films such as "Young Adult," "Juno" and "Up in the Air," was thinking, falling for this romantic hash. Winslet and Brolin give solid enough performances, but that can't save this rather staid affair, where much of the sexual action is behind closed doors.
Charming 'Gloria'
Chilean writer-director Sebastian Lelio's "Gloria" is a lively but unsentimental portrait of a woman in her 50s trying to find herself.
Played winningly by Paulina Garcia, Gloria, a divorcee, has questionable taste in men. Neither her ex-husband nor the man she is trying to attract, Rodolfo (Sergio Hernandez), seems like a great catch.
With a dull office job, she meddles too much in her grown children's lives more out of need than concern, and drinks and smokes a bit too much. Still, she has a spirit about her that overcomes those things that make most people sad, and that is what is so charming about the film.

This was a first.
Last week a group of us went out to dinner to a restaurant in Boston. It was a celebration, and I was treating. It is not a nightclub. It is not a bar.
Shortly after we arrived, a four piece jazz band set up, and they began to play while we were finishing up our main dishes. We had not known this was going to happen, but that was okay. They were good, but quite loud, and we were seated next to them, so it did impact our conversation. When I got the bill, I saw that they charged us an extra $18 ($3 a person) for the half hour of music that we heard.
I have never had this happen before here in Boston at any other restaurant. I did not want to make a fuss then, due to the people I was with, our prime location next to the band, and the fact that we had enjoyed our meal very much.
We go out a lot here on Boston. This was a first for me. A cover charge for a bar or night club with live music is not unusual, and is often expected. But this was a surprise.
Yes, I could have made a little fuss, but that is not what I want to discuss. I am more curious if this happens elsewhere, if it is a new trend, and what to do in order to prevent this from happening again. Their web site does not indicate that they will charge you for their music, and as I said, we did not even know there would be any, not to mention that we'd be charged for it.
I have written to the management but have not heard back.

I did what they mention on their page, downloaded the latest firmware and put it on the sd and for what I read and see on videos... that's it...basically you are ready to go. (in their page they mention it supports 1.45) but yeah, when I open the card in the dsi only 3 icons appear, with no text and nothing at all ( I attached a file so you see what I mean) that's it guys, any of you have any idea what is going on or what to do?

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Fiora with this build
|Gangplank is definitely the easiest matchup you could get as Fiora. Yourripiste can block his Parrrley, his main damage source. Without it, you will almost always out damage him. Take Ignite and start Long Sword 3.
Introduction to Fiora Top [And Rework Info :( ]
Welcome to my guide regarding everything about Fiora! My name is Arwing135, a Gold III player on the NA server. Since season 4 Fiora has been my go to champ whenever I am able to get top lane ( except when I play her mid/supp/jg/adc in normals). Fiora is an especially high risk-high reward champion that needs to be played aggressively. With so much damage it must be utilized to get early kills and not fall off.But nevertheless, Fiora is a solo-queue stomper that when played correctly, can decimate entire teams on her own.
So the time has come for Fiora's full update. Riot has left no ability untouched meaning it will be necessary to relearn everything about Fiora. This guide will be in the process of adapting to the new build paths, mastery setups, runes, and matchup with the new abilities. One thing is for sure though, the new Fiora will definitely be much more mechanically demanding and will rrequire a lot of time to fully understand and utilizes to its full potential. The general Hydra build path will also likely be abandoned for a new buildpath featuring Botrk, Tri Force, and Infinity Edge. Considering the new kits basis on vitals, Fiora will definitely be much more high risk but also a much higher rewardwith efficient skirmishing.For now I will leave it at that until I am able to get a feel for this new concept and establish the best ideas to try and help you all on your journeys up the ladder :).
As Fiora there are three general rune setups that can utilized effectively. You can take full AD runes and Quints with Flat MR and Armor Glyphs and Seals. In hard lane matchups run two life steal Quints along with the same other runes ( you can sometimes swap MR glyphs for armor if in a really hard lane). Finally you can run either armor pen marks or Quints when in extremely tanky matchups.
Summoner Spells
Flash is a Blink mobility spell, that enables Fiora to move 475 units in any direction immediately. An excellent spell to use to hop over terrain or to secure a kill that hid under tower as well as a great way to put some distance between you and the enemy CC. I absolutely recommend this spell over Ghost in most situations.
Ghost provides Fiora with an additional MS boost, which is excellent for chasing down champions with high movement speeds ( Master Yi using Highlander). It is excellent in combination with Burst of Speed and Furor making it an excellent escape mechanism. It's draw back is that it is susceptible to CC particularly strong slows like Wither or hard CC like Charm. If your a newbie and don't yet have/like Flash I recommend Ghost.
Ignite lights up an enemy opponent dealing damage over time and halving their healing factor. This spell can give you some extra damage during a lane fight or gank to kill an opponent. Use this spell when they flee under their tower to get the kill.
Teleport is a handy spell to have if you are one of these situations:
Saving a Tower - Tower is about to be over-run by a split-pusher or minions and you use Teleport to save it.
Countering the Counter-Gank - Jungler has ganked bottom only to be counter ganked by the enemy jungler. You use Teleport on a minion or ward to give back-up and make it 3v4. Opportunity to push tower usually occurs if gank successful.
Farming Advantage - You've just killed the enemy laner. You go to shop and stock up on items and now use Teleport to instantly return to lane and get ahead in CS, zoning your opponent a little more.
As stated above in the masteries notes, you will almost always take 21/9/0 masteries with interchangeable points in
Spell Weaving
, and
Blade Weaving
. In some occasions you may take 17-13 masteries with extra points in
while taking out points from
Devastating Strikes
You may even opt to take a 9/21/0 mastery page when in team comps that require you to be bulkier.
Team Work
A Leash is whereby you assist the Jungler by diverting the aggression of the Monster temporarily and deal damage to it to weakening it to the stage where all it requires is a few auto attacks and the use of Smite. There are two types of leashes:
Soft Leash:
A soft leash is the most common form and simply requires you to do draw aggression from the jungle Monster and deal damage to it. No more than 3 auto attacks will be needed.
Hard Leash:
A Hard leash requires you to draw the aggression and deal significant damage to the Monster in order to spare your Jungler from sustaining too much damage. During a hard leash you need to damage the Monster at least past 50% health.
An invasion is a high risk, high reward tactic of leashing. If pulled off it puts the enemy Jungler behind in both experience and gold and also deprives them of the buff. An added option is to lie in wait for the enemy Jungler and catch them off guard at the second buff at 2:55 (roughly). It is important to note that if you are not participating in a leash or an invasion then you are guarding the other buff, placing a Warding Totem at 1:50 to give vision of the buff in case of an ambush or steal.
Throughout the laning phase pay attention to your opponents' positions and listen to your teammates' pings. Since Fiora has no escapes it may be beneficial for your jungler to ward the top side river whenever he/she gets the chance. Keep buffs warded at almost all times and try to be near them when fights break out(map awareness).
The New Fiora relies heavily on her team come mid or late game. Her current teamfight is rather weak so it is almost always a good idea to let your team initiate and then use your grand challenge on a dying target. Pick champs work especially well with the new fiora as well so be prepared to initiate on a sole target.
Unique Skills
Fiora's skills are primarily set upon striking vitals to win trades. From level 1-3 it is very easy to get a a first blood cheese through spamming lunge consistently. Riposte can block everything excluding turret shots so save it for disables that could turn the tide of a fight. Bladework is a fairly binary ability as it is a 2 attack buff so use it during trades. As for Grand Challenge use it when you want yto all in your opponent. It is extremely difficult to pull off all 4 vitals against champs with mobility or squishies in team fights so it may be beneficial to use on a dying target for the AoE team heal. Fiora will be receiving buffs to her base stats and CDs and some mobility buffs so this info is tentative for now.
Similar to old Fiora, New Fiora has no wave clear. Thus it may be beneficial to purchase(almost always) a Ravenous Hydra as it also procs on Lunge. Phage is a near must have on Fiora as it grants Movement speed upon attacking which will significantly help you when trying to proc vitals in lane or from Grand Challenge.This Phage can be interchangeably built unto either a Trinity Force or The Black Cleaver. Build Tri Force vs squishy comps and BC against tanks comps.

Tunnelr Review
Our summary
Tunnelr is a fairly new company with only three years of operation. Despite this, though not perfect, they have developed well and with a major upgrade just last month they have substantially stepped up their game.
Tunnelr is a US based VPN provider. Though it is fairly young in the game it has a few inventive features which makes it absolutely fantastic. Their VPN service is pretty decent but their SSH system is absolutely superb. Being run by the same people who run cloudsy.com and devio.us gives them plenty of experience in running these kind of systems (their VPN service has an OpenBSD back-end). They are also eager to keep developing and have improved support, software and even more protocols in their development plans.
Pricing & Plans
Surprisingly unlike most providers Tunnelr doesn't display it's prices on anywhere (or at least we couldn't find it). Once you have signed up you are able to select your billing option. Like most providers they provide a one plan fits all, with increased discount if you sign up for a longer period.
Their pricing is nicely placed in the medium range making it neither too expensive or cheap. Also if you are having problems with something or are unhappy for some (legible) reason then they will work their best to change it or provide you with a refund.
Tunnelr currently has 15 servers in 8 countries which isn't spectacular but they are nicely laid out across Europe and the US. What is spectacular though is that they provide up to 5 simultaneous connections by default – probably the cheapest company to offer this. Though they do not have any of their own software they provide great speeds and fantastic security with clear policies and a nice website.
Security & Privacy
Obviously a clear advantage of using a VPN service is that it keeps your data safe and secure but this doesn't help if your VPN provider carries out a lot of logging. Thankfully Tunnelr has a clear logging policy where they clearly state that though they do some bare essential logging for troubleshooting they do not keep an PII (personally identifiable information) on any of their infrastructure – they only keep these logs for 24 hours as well! Such clear and dedicated logging policy is great to see from a US company.
Like most providers they provide PPTP, L2TP and OpenVPN support. For these they use some of the highest levels of encryption that we have seen.
However, what really sets apart Tunnelr from the other providers is that they also support OpenSSH and SOCKS by default. Though this will mean nothing to the average user those with a little bit more technical experience will know that these can allow a much larger range of configuration and can help improve speeds. Reading our VPN vs SSH post can give you a bit more insight on this.
The website
The Tunnelr website is nice and clearly laid out and very easy to navigate. It is easy to find all the main pieces of information from FAQs to Tutorials and everything is well detailed and presented. They also run a blog to show their latest updates and developments but slightly disappointingly it isn't possible to view older entries.
Being a very young company means that Tunnelr does not yet have the resources to provide a very large scale support and only operate a ticket system. However, we found this to be very efficient and fast and never had any problems with their replies. They are also looking into providing live chat support in the near future.
The Process
Signing Up
Like with most providers it is very easy to sign up – just enter a username, email and password and you're done. Once you have accessed your dashboard you will be given a few hours in order to trial their service. After that you will have to select a billing plan – Tunnelr doesn't automatically select recurring payments which is great. Just like the rest of the website the personal Dashboard is clearly arranged and easy to navigate.
The Windows VPN client
Unfortunately, as mentioned Tunnelr doesn't provide it's own software (Windows and Mac software in development but no ETA as of yet). However, it does provide clear and detailed set-up guides for all protocols on all platforms. For Windows it recommends the use of OpenVPN Client or Viscosity. We decided to give it a go with the OpenVPN client as this is free and has a larger user base.
Performance (Speed, DNS and IP Test)
We gave Tunnelr the normal performance tests. The DNS leak test and the IP tests all came back clear and positive. We were slightly disappointed with the speed tests as can be seen in the below table but they still remained adequate enough to torrent, stream or just browse.
|No VPN Speed
|Tunnelr VPN Speed
Other Platforms
Just like with Windows, Tunnelr doesn't provide you with any of their software for any other platforms. On the upside though they have clear and concise set up instructions for all major platforms – Android, Windows, Apple & Linux. We gave Android a go and found the speeds to match those that we achieved on our computer so we were happy with this. You can find out more about setting up OpenVPN on Android using our Top 5 list or using Tunnelrs own setup guide.
Since unlike many providers Tunnelr also provides SSH we also gave this a go. It is a bit harder to set up than a VPN connection and each piece of software you use needs configuring to be able to use it. We did our test using Firefox using their recommended set-up procedure. As we can see from the below table there was close to no speed loss and the IP and DNS leak test were all fine.
|No SSH Speed
|Tunnelr SSH Speed
We liked
- Plenty of protocols even including OpenSSH – which has absolutely superb speed
- Up to 5 simultaneous connections
- Great website
- Great security
We weren't so sure about
- Limited support capability
- VPN speeds
- Small number of servers – but well placed
We hated
- No dedicated software
Overall Tunnelr is a great service compared to it's age. If you know a little bit about your computers and software then it is definitely worth the money you are paying. If you are looking for a provider with a lot of servers and easy to use software then you should look elsewhere, but come back to them in a year or two to see how they have progressed.

DETROIT (WWJ) – General Motors earned a billion dollars in the first quarter, beating analysts expectations.
The earnings are substantially less than the company's $3.2 billion dollar first quarter last year. The 2011 profits were inflated by some one time gains, while this year's report was hurt by one time costs. GM says it's "Earnings Before Interest and Taxes" in the first quarter were $2.2 billion.

Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology
Because of its centimetre-level precision, SAR interferometry (InSAR) has been widely recognized as an effective tool for large-area deformation mapping. However, applications of InSAR technology are limited by temporal–geometric decorrelation and atmospheric disturbance. Large-field displacement could be underestimated as a result of these limitations. A point-like target offset tracking (PTOT) method that solely uses SAR pixel amplitude information through highly accurate image matching can measure 2D displacements in the azimuth and range directions. This method is minimally affected by decorrelation and weather, and it is more suitable for mapping large displacements. In this study, landslide-prone areas were identified using high-resolution TerraSAR-X InSAR data pairs with short normal baselines and temporal baselines covering Zigui County in the Three Gorges area, and the PTOT method was applied to study potential landslides using image pairs with long temporal baselines. An estimate of the cumulative deformation was given. Time series displacements measured at corner reflectors and point-like targets were analysed. The feasibilities of landslide detection using DInSAR and PTOT methods with high-resolution SAR images were then evaluated and summarized.

Genocide is as emotive a word as there is in whatever language it is expressed. Yesterday, French parliamentarians in the National Assembly (lower house) voted to outlaw genocide denial in the case of the Armenians.
This is no bit of gesture politics. After yesterday's vote, in France, to publicly deny the Armenian genocide - if the bill completes the legislative process and becomes law - would carry a fine of 45,000 euros and up to one year in prison.
In 1915, Ottoman troops slaughtered an estimated 1.5 million Armenians living in eastern Turkey. Most historians accept that this action fits the definition of genocide. Turks and their government angrily differ. The numbers are exaggerated, the deaths took place in the context of a civil war in which ethnic Turks also lost their lives and were forced out of their homes, is the official and popular view in Turkey.
It is an emotional view as well. As soon as the vote was finished, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, reacted angrily and accused the French government of "fanning hatred of Muslims and Turks for electoral gains."
He added, "France massacred an estimated 15 per cent of the Algerian population starting from 1945. This is genocide."
Erdogan recalled his ambassador and has frozen all political/diplomatic contacts for the moment.
Turkish newspapers back the Erdogan actions. This comment by Bulent Kenes in Zaman is typical.
"With this outdated effort, French President Nicolas Sarkozy betrayed, first, France and, then, universal freedom of thought and expression. By introducing bans to one side of the debate about a controversial issue that must be settled by historians and just ahead of the presidential elections, he showed everyone what democracy à la Sarkozy is."
French newspapers aren't too excited by the event either. Caroline Fourest in Le Monde writes, "the Armenian Genocide raises a thousand passions and a thousand questions." Before questioning the value of "dictating history by law."
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has spent the day trying to smooth the situation, according to Liberation. "I respect the convictions of our Turkish friends. It is a great country, a great civilization. " But Sarkozy reminded Erdogan that the respect must be mutual. "France has its convictions: the rights of man, the respect for memory."
His Foreign Minister Alain Juppe was more blunt. He said of yesterday's vote, "It was not opportune."
Why did the French parliament bother with the vote? France has half a million citizens of Armenian descent and there is an election coming up in May. That could have something to do with it.

Christopher is counting clouds.
Hannah braids her hair.
Peter's playing peekaboo.
Greg growls like a bear.
Kevin kicks with all his might,
and though the ball stays put,
his sneaker sails across the field
to land near Roger's foot.
Billy Brown is looking down.
He sees a four-leaf clover.
Billy wants to pick the plant,
and that's why he bends over.
We see the ball bounce off his bum
and then sail toward the goal.
The goalie gets confused.
We watch him stop then drop and roll.
The other team lets out a cheer
and our team starts to scream
as Billy's bottom scores a goal
for the other team.

I have a set of gear I have purchsed from different karma venders to get the look I wanted. I bought some runes to add stats, like I have with any other gear, but it won't let me apply them to the karma gear.
Is there a way to do this?
Tried unequipping them and then applying the given runes?

also a silly question, but what is the level requirement for the runes? I've run into a similar issue trying to use a max jewel on a level 70-something accessory....that might be a similar type issue.....
This was the problem didn't even pay attention to that, arg.

Rueibin Chen, a Taiwanese pianist, who performed at the 2010 World Expo in China,
started his career as a child prodigy and concert pianist at age ten when he made his debut with the Taipei Symphony Orchestra. Following that, he was named the Principal Soloist of "Moldova" Iasi and Tirgu Mures Philharmonic Orchestra in Romania.
In 2014, he was invited to perform with Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, which is the biggest outdoor venue in the U.S.
A Chinese Austrian born in Taiwan, Chen won a total of eighteen medals, including five gold medals, which were won before he was 20, in various international piano competitions in Tel Aviv (Rubinstein), Warsaw (Chopin), Salt Lake City (Bachauer), Athens (Callas), Vienna, Manresa, and Italy (Rome, Rachmaninoff, Bellini, and Stresa) to name just a few. Here's what he told the Times:
Macau Daily Times (MDT) – What is your schedule looking like for this coming year?
Rueibin Chen (RC) – Currently, I am having events in Hong Kong. When I go to Hong Kong, it is not a must for me to go to Macau. In January, I will go to the United States to perform. I like Macau too much. I think Macau has a more mixed culture when compared to Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China. People in Macau, since ancient times, speak good Mandarin.
MDT – Which regions or countries leave you the most memorable experiences?
RC – I have performed in many eastern European countries, including Romania and Ukraine. Looking at them, their economy is not that good, but people's participation in culture is high. I was once performing in Israel, and I won a prize. What I am very impressed about is not that I won a prize, but the person who delivered the prize to me. It was Yitzhak Rabin. Back in that time, he had just won the Nobel Peace Prize. Several months after I received the prize from his hands, he was assassinated.
MDT – Besides your performances, what have you been interested in working for in terms of music?
RC – I not only play Western music, but I am very focused on the communication between Western and Eastern music. Two years ago, I organized a symphony, which mixed traditional Chinese instruments and piano. First, many of our generation, of the next generation and of the one after are getting Western musical education. Many [aspects] of Chinese culture are good and very beautiful, but Chinese [people and the artists] maybe they have forgotten and they don't know. When I was promoting our culture in the West, in the US, actually, people there like [our Eastern culture] very much. I will continue to promote the combination between the West and the East. These are my own cultures. I wish that, within my ability, I can promote them at a global scale.
MDT – As a Taiwanese pianist, how are you handling the relationships between people from Taiwan and China?
RC – I want to talk about this topic. If I am not wrong, I might be the musician, who was born in Taiwan, who showed up the most times in both sides for big celebrations. I played in the World Expo in Shanghai, Macau's handover anniversary ceremony, Beijing International Film Festival, and I also played in the office of the President in Taiwan. I think music is not just only about no borders, but it is without boundaries. If I can, I am willing to continue promoting musical communication between both sides.
MDT – Will you focus more on Chinese communities and on this part of the world in your future?
RC – If time allows me, I am very willing to spend more time here. In Macau, I have performed several times. My second language is German. As to the cultures from Europe, I am very willing to bring them back here [Asia].
MDT – Nowadays, how do you see Chinese students studying music, in particular their way of learning it?
RC – The parents should communicate more with children in terms of music, but not make it [instrument learning] a priority for students. It's not that the students must reach a certain level or must win certain prizes. I have seen many examples of children who gave up learning it. They can't handle the pressure. [Not only in mainland China], but in Chinese communities and Chinese culture. Talking from my own experience, […] I chose playing music as my career. I don't think I am a pianist, I am a music lover. That makes me have no concerns so that I can keep on doing my job and like my performance. The west European musicians are the same as me, their parents did not supervise them. In the end, it is the [musicians'] own choice. Therefore, when they are performing, you can see that they have many different ideas, maybe everyone plays differently. Probably Chinese musicians, are seriously depending on the teachers and the parents. In the end, you can see that their skills are very good, but they are like coming from a mold. On the good side, you have people supervising you. But as an artist, the society might hope to see something different.

The Shetland Sheepdog was originally developed on the Shetland Islands off the coast of Scotland and were mainly used as herding dogs however nowadays he is an excellent family companion. The average height of a Shetland Sheepdog is 1 foot, 1 inch to 1 foot, 4 inches weighing about 20 to 40 pounds. They have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years.
The Shetland Sheepdog also called the "Sheltie" was originally developed on the Shetland Islands and was mainly used as a herding dog. He is very intelligent and makes a great family companion as well as a great working dog. The Shetland Sheepdog loves all the energy demanding activities like fly-ball, Frisbee, running, swimming and many other dog games. If he is left alone more than a few hours a day he can become bored and might become very loud and destructive. The Shetland Sheepdog is a great watchdog because he is very reserved with strangers and will always let you know when a stranger is approaching your property. He is known to behave well when children are around but very small children should always be well supervised when they encounter any type of dog breed because they might have the tendency to tease and no dog will accept that. Obedience training and early socialization are very important in this case and can make a big difference if you want to have an obedient and well behaved dog.
Shetland Sheepdog Training:
Shetland Sheepdog is a very intelligent dog breed. They can learn new commands very quickly which makes them quite easy to train. Usually they enjoy any type of activity so training will not be a problem for them. In fact it can be something that they will really enjoy.
Shetland Sheepdog Shedding:
To be honest, the Shetland Sheepdog is shedding a lot of hair. You cannot do anything to stop this but if you want to prevent having hair all over your home you should do proper brushing every day. Keep in mind that with a proper brushing you will rarely find hair on your couch, carpets and other places in your home.
Shetland Sheepdog Grooming:
The Shetland Sheepdog, like many other dog breeds, need daily exercise. Don't worry, those needs can be met quite easy with simple walks or playing some fun games. His coat needs to be shaped two or three months and proper brushing should be done every now and then.
Shetland Sheepdog History:
The Shetland Sheepdog was originally developed on the rugged Shetland Islands which lie between Norway and Scotland. He was mainly used to herd sheep, cattle and other livestock. In the early 1800s this bred was brought in England and Scotland where he was categorized as a miniature Collie.

Internet Week: Linux Makes Some Inroads on the DesktopJun 28, 2000, 22:25 (1 Talkback[s])
WEBINAR: On-Demand
No-Size-Fits-All! An Application-Down Approach for Your Cloud Transformation REGISTER >
"While many industry observers remain skeptical about Linux on the desktop, IT professionals like Phillipe Welsh are equally skeptical about conventional fat-client implementations. "We have to give our users all the desktop tools they need to do their jobs," he says. "But there's no reason to go broke in the process."
"Welsh, who works at Cassens Transport, a trucking company in Edwardsville, Ill., has deployed diskless PCs on his users' desktops. All desktop apps are accessed from workgroup Linux servers running VistaSource Inc.'s Applixware software suite, which includes word processing and spreadsheet tools. Welsh says the thin-client solution is extremely cost-effective and easy to manage. "We can support 17 simultaneous users with full GUI application functionality using a 233-MHz Pentium II server," he says. "That's a very low-end machine." Desktop hardware costs are also kept to a minimum, since users don't need hard drives or constant RAM/CPU upgrades."
"Like other IT managers who have taken an open source approach, Welsh says many companies are missing the boat because they've bought into a mindset that has failed to change with the times. He says many managers latched on to PC computing as a counter-reaction to IBM's heavily centralized architecture. But Welsh says all the administration associated with client/server computing simply replaced one set of burdens with another."

1. A guardianship is a relationship in which a person is appointed by the Probate Court to manage the personal care, the estate, or both of a minor child or "incompetent" adult.
2. An "incompetent" person includes a person who, by reason of mental or physical disability, is incapable of taking proper care of himself or herself or his or her property. (A guardian may be appointed for a physically disabled person only with that person's consent.)
3. A guardian is restricted by state law in the management of the incompetent person's estate.
1. A Durable Power of Attorney is a document in which the principal (the person giving the power) authorizes an agent (called an "attorney-in-fact") to perform certain acts relating to the principal's finances. The attorney-in-fact does not have to be an attorney.
2. Because the Power of Attorney is "durable," the authority of the agent continues even though the principal becomes incompetent.
3. The Power of Attorney can be broad, allowing the agent to perform any act that can be legally delegated, or it can be narrow, giving the agent only the authority to do one specific act.
4. Generally a broad Power of Attorney is executed to allow the agent to handle the principal's day-to-day financial affairs even in the event the principal becomes incompetent. The powers include:
a) managing bank accounts, investments and real estate;
b) investing assets;
c) selling personal property and real estate;
d) dealing with the Social Security Administration and the Internal Revenue Service;
e) settling claims and debts
f) making gifts of assets; and
g) filing tax returns and other documents.
5. A Power of Attorney may also include a provision in which the principal designates a guardian in the event the principal becomes incompetent.
6. The Power of Attorney can be effective immediately, or it can "spring" into effect only when the principal is declared incompetent.
a) A disadvantage of an immediate power is that the agent may exercise the power before the principal intends that it be exercised.
b) A disadvantage of a "springing" power is that the power cannot be used until the principal is determined through some mechanism to be incompetent. This could be either by a court declaration of incompetence or by providing for example that two doctors must sign an affidavit declaring the principal incompetent.
7. A Power of Attorney can be revoked at any time.
8. A properly signed Power of Attorney can help avoid some of the perils of joint property.
1. A Health Care Power of Attorney is a written document signed by the principal, which authorizes an attorney-in-fact to make all health care decisions for the principal when the attending physician determines that the principal is incapacitated so as to be unable to make health care decisions for himself or herself.
2. The attorney-in-fact can refuse or withdraw life-sustaining treatment when the principal's attending physician and one other physician determine that:
a) the principal is in a terminal condition:
(1) there can be no recovery and
(2) death is likely to occur within a relatively short time if life sustaining treatment is not administered
b) or, the principal is in a permanently unconscious state:
(1) the principal is irreversibly unaware of himself or herself and his or her environment and
(2) the principal has no capacity to experience pain or suffering.
3. An optional provision of the Health Care Power of Attorney allows the principal to authorize the attorney-in-fact to refuse or withdraw nutrition and hydration. However, the withdrawal of nutrition and hydration will be permitted only if the principal has specifically signed a special section in the Health Care Power of Attorney form which specifically authorizes this authority.
1. Living Wills, called "Declarations", are used by individuals, called "declarant", who desire to express their wishes regarding their health care if they should be in a terminal condition or a permanently unconscious state.
2. An optional provision in the Declaration allows the declarant to state whether he or she wishes the withdrawal of nutrition and hydration and institution of a "do not resuscitate" order if he or she is in a permanently unconscious state.
3. The declarant can designate which individuals he or she wishes to be notified in the event he or she is in a terminal condition or permanently unconscious state.
4. Once the designated individuals are notified (or the declarant's next of kin if no designation is made), all health care decisions authorized by the Declaration will be given effect.
