'Freak' security flaw left Apple and Android users exposed.
Apple and Google say they have developed fixes to mitigate the newly uncovered "Freak" security flaw affecting mobile devices and Mac computers.
Initially thought to be immune, Microsoft released an advisory which warned hundreds of millions of Windows PC users are also vulnerable to the security vulnerability.
Apple spokesman Ryan James said the computer company had developed a software update to remediate the vulnerability, which would be pushed out next week.

Recently Samsung announced that serial production of its new 14nm SoC has already commenced. The new part is going to end up in Samsung Galaxy S6 and a few other devices. This happens less than two quarters after Intel started production of Broadwell-Y 14nm CPUs, its first 14nm volume manufactured part.
Samsung has the capability of Intel and the purse of Apple IMO. I think they are destined to the leader one of these days.

'Bigger Than Heartbleed': Bash Bug Could Leave IT Systems In Shellshock
By: ctal
September 25th, 2014
8:31 am
Just months after Heartbleed made waves across the Internet, a new security flaw known as the Bash bug is threatening to compromise everything from major servers to connected cameras....
The vulnerability could affect Unix and Linux devices, as well as hardware running Mac OS X....
Scan your network for things like Telnet, FTP, and old versions of Apache (masscan is extremely useful for this). Anything that responds is probably an old device needing a Bash patch. And, since most of them can't be patched, you are likely screwed.
HP, Compaq Recall Millions of Power Cords
By: zapionics<alt>
August 27th, 2014
5:54 am
On August 26, 2014 HP announced a worldwide voluntary recall and replacement program in cooperation with various government regulatory agencies, for affected AC power cords distributed worldwide with HP and Compaq notebook and mini notebook computers, as well as with AC adapters provided with accessories such as docking stations, sold from September 2010 through June 2012.
HP customers affected by this program will be eligible to receive a replacement AC power cord for each verified, recalled AC power cord at no cost.
HP believes that certain power cords shipped with notebook PC products and AC adapter accessories may pose a risk of a fire and burn hazard to customers. We are taking this action as part of our commitment to provide the highest quality of service to our notebook customers.
Note: Not all HP and Compaq notebook and mini notebook PCs were sold with an affected power cord. Please validate the power cord shipped with your notebook PC or purchased with an accessory, or as a spare.
The recall affects many countries and regions with 5.6 million cords already recalled in the US, with another 447,000 in Canada. (The campaign has now extended here to Australia).
The recall was implemented after HP received 29 reports of power cords overheating and melting or charring, resulting in two claims of minor burns and 13 claims of minor property damage.
The LS-15 AC power cords were distributed with HP and Compaq notebook and mini notebook computers, and with AC adaptor-powered accessories including docking stations.
The power cords are black and have an �LS-15� moulded on the AC adaptor end of the cord. They were manufactured in China.
Consumers are advised to immediately stop using and unplug the recalled power cords and contact Hewlett-Packard to order a free replacement.

eBay Hacked, all ur data Belong to Us!

Hackers have broken into eBay's database and gained access to customer names, passwords and other personal data.
eBay says the attack occurred in late February and early March and was only detected two weeks ago.
PayPal, eBay, I wonder if the banks truly understand the risk they're carrying when they guarantee customers funds?
All it would take is a huge breach and loss of funds and they could be brought to their knees.
I get annoyed when bank tellers tell me that internet banking is "safe". These are junior accountants or graduates who are fed that line of BS while all around them the big internet financial and eCommerce sites are being hacked, its so asinine.
Anyway, time to change passwords yet again.

Heartbleed is a Catastrophic bug
By: zapionics<alt>
April 9th, 2014
5:04 pm
The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software. This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop communications, steal data directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users.
"There is no limit on the number of attacks that can be performed," Cyber-defence specialists at Fox-IT said in a blog post.
This is the big one we've been dreading with the current version of OpenSSL completely compromised. The only defence seems to be complete renewal of all private/public key pair and re-issue of all certificates. Not only that but all account passwords need to be replaced on the basis that they may have been compromised by multiple agencies.
Of course replacing your passwords should only be done after your service providers have updated all their web servers with the patch, new keys and certificates. That may take some time.
Personally, I would have to assume that the big institutions have been compromised and go from there.
Repeating; this is a complete failure of the current version of OpenSSL. All keys and certificates are compromised. All sites need to be patched and updated and all users need to update their passwords on all devices. I think OpenSSL is in widespread use by most of our institutions, government agencies, service providers and small to medium size businesses.

Fearing rapidly plummeting sales of traditional laptops and desktop computers -- which collapsed by as much as 10 percent in 2013 -- manufacturers are planning a revolution against Microsoft and the standard Windows operating system, analysts say.
At the mammoth Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in early January, multiple computer makers will unveil systems that simultaneously run two different operating systems, both Windows and the Android OS that powers many of the world's tablets and smartphones, two different analysts said recently. The new devices will be called "PC Plus" machines, explained Tim Bajarin of Creative Strategies.

N.S.A. Cracks Most Encryption Methods
By: zapionics<alt>
September 7th, 2013
5:18 pm
The National SecurityAgency is winning its long-running secret war on encryption, using supercomputers, technical trickery, court orders and behind-the-scenes persuasion to undermine the major tools protecting the privacy of everyday communications in the Internet age, according to newly disclosed documents...
Story here
I'm not sure whether i should be concerned or not about this.
On one hand we have to weigh up the imperative to monitor known criminal and terrorist communications and on the other the privacy of the individual.
Personally i see a great deal of risk for fraud and identity theft and i have to ask who watches the watchers? The whole purpose of encryption is to minimise those risks and to provide secure communications. Many large companies have security policies in place using well known private encryption formats. If an elite few can bypass the controls and correlate such information then there would be a big temptation to mis-use the information.
One solution is to forego proprietary encryption tools for open source products. At least the community continuously monitors the code for any back doors.
It just seems to me that with this news the standard vendor tools that we all use to encrypt our data and messages are now all compromised and broken.

With all the recent advances in molecular and evolutionary biology, one could almost wonder why we need the fossil record. Molecular sequence data can resolve taxonomic relationships, experiments with fruit flies demonstrate evolution and development in real time, and field studies of Galapagos finches have provided the strongest evidence for natural selection ever measured in the wild. What, then, can fossils teach us that living organisms cannot?
Evolutionary Patterns demonstrates the rich variety of clues to evolution that can be gleaned from the fossil record. Chief among these are the major trends and anomalies in species development revealed only by "deep time," such as periodic mass extinctions and species that remain unchanged in form for millions of years. Contributors explore modes of development, the tempo of speciation and extinction, and macroevolutionary patterns and trends. The result is an important contribution to paleobiology and evolutionary biology, and a spirited defense of the fossil record as a crucial tool for understanding evolution and development.
The contributors are Ann F. Budd, Efstathia Bura, Leo W. Buss, Mike Foote, Jörn Geister, Stephen Jay Gould, Eckart Hâkansson, Jean-Georges Harmelin, Lee-Ann C. Hayek, Jeremy B. C. Jackson, Kenneth G.

Severe pre-eclampsia is associated with abnormal trace elements concentrations in maternal and fetal blood.
ABSTRACT The study was aimed to compare trace elements concentrations in women with and without severe pre-eclampsia (PE).
A prospective case-control study was conducted comparing 43 parturients with severe PE (who received magnesium sulfate [MgSO4]) and 80 healthy parturients and their newborns, matched for gestational age and mode of delivery. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) was used for the determination of zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), selenium (Se) and magnesium (Mg) levels in maternal as well as arterial and venous umbilical cord serum.
Zn levels (µg/L) were significantly higher in fetal arterial and venous blood of the PE group (947.3 ± 42.5 vs. 543.1 ± 226, 911.1 ± 220.2 vs. 422.4 ± 145, p < 0.001; respectively). Se levels (µg/L) were significantly lower in maternal and fetal arterial and venous cord blood of the PE group (98.6 ± 24.2, 110.7 ± 19.4, 82 ± 17.8 vs. 111.6 ± 17.6, 82.1 ± 17.4 vs. 107.1 ± 25.7, p < 0.001; respectively). Cu levels (µg/L) were significantly lower in fetal arterial and venous cord blood (581.6 ± 367.4 vs. 949 ± 788.8, p = 0.022, 608.3 ± 418.1 vs. 866.9 ± 812.6, p = 0.001 respectively) but higher in maternal blood (2264.6 ± 751.7 vs. 1048 ± 851.1, p < 0.001). These differences remained significant while controlling for the mode of delivery. Mg levels were significantly higher in the PE group as compared with the control group.
Severe PE is associated with abnormal concentrations of Zn, Cu and Se. Therefore, trace elements may have a crucial role in the pathogenesis of severe PE.

ABSTRACT: Gestational hypertension and preeclampsia are common disorders during pregnancy, with the majority of cases developing at or near term. The development of mild hypertension or preeclampsia at or near term is associated with minimal maternal and neonatal morbidities. In contrast, the onset of severe gestational hypertension and/or severe preeclampsia before 35 weeks' gestation is associated with significant maternal and perinatal complications. Women with diagnosed gestational hypertension-preeclampsia require close evaluation of maternal and fetal conditions for the duration of pregnancy, and those with severe disease should be managed in-hospital. The decision between delivery and expectant management depends on fetal gestational age, fetal status, and severity of maternal condition at time of evaluation. Expectant management is possible in a select group of women with severe preeclampsia before 32 weeks' gestation. Steroids are effective in reducing neonatal mortality and morbidity when administered to those with severe disease between 24 and 34 weeks' gestation. Magnesium sulfate should be used during labor and for at least 24 hours postpartum to prevent seizures in all women with severe disease. There is an urgent need to conduct randomized trials to determine the efficacy and safety of antihypertensive drugs in women with mild hypertension-preeclampsia. There is also a need to conduct a randomized trial to determine the benefits and risks of magnesium sulfate during labor and postpartum in women with mild preeclampsia.Obstetrics and Gynecology 08/2003; 102(1):181-92.

ABSTRACT: Trace elements occur in the body in very small or 'trace' amounts. Deficiencies of essential trace elements produce multiple and diverse clinical signs and symptoms. These may arise from inadequate dietary intake, decreased bioavailability, iatrogenic factors, certain disease states in which decreased absorption, excessive excretion and/or utilization occurs, and physiological states in which trace element requirements are increased and/or body stores are reduced. This review discusses both the static and functional laboratory tests used for the assessment of chromium, copper, selenium, and zinc status in humans, with emphasis on those tests suitable for community use. Static tests measure the total quantity of the trace elements in various accessible tissues and body fluids such as hair, nails, blood or some of its components, and urine; functional tests measure the activity of trace-element-dependent enzymes, or a physiological or behavioural function dependent on a specific trace element. The advantages and limitations of each test are discussed, together with the effects of non-nutritional factors that may confound the interpretation of the results. Interpretive criteria are also given, where possible.Progress in food & nutrition science 02/1989; 13(2):67-111.
Article: Zinc: an overview.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Zn deficiency in humans is widespread throughout the world. It is more prevalent in areas where the population subsists on cereal proteins. Conditioned Zn deficiency is seen in many disease states. Its deficiency during growth periods results in growth failure and lack of gonadal development in males. Other effects of Zn deficiency include skin changes, poor appetite, mental lethargy, delayed wound healing, neurosensory disorders, and cell-mediated immune disorders. Severe Zn deficiency, as seen in acrodermatitis enteropathica (a genetic disorder), is fatal if Zn is not administered to these patients. A clinical diagnosis of marginal Zn deficiency in humans remains problematic. Assays of Zn in granulocytes and lymphocytes provide better diagnostic criteria for marginal Zn deficiency than plasma Zn. Approximately 300 enzymes are known to require Zn for their activities. Zn is required for DNA synthesis, cell division, and protein synthesis. Recently, we learned that Zn-finger proteins are involved in genetic expression of various growth factors and steroid receptors. We suspect that several hundred Zn-containing nucleoproteins are probably involved in gene expression of various proteins. Zn deficiency adversely affects lymphocyte proliferation. This may be related to the enzymatic role of Zn in DNA synthesis and cell division. Thymulin, a thymic hormone involved in T-lymphocyte maturation, is known to be Zn dependent and is adversely affected by Zn deficiency. Thus, an adverse effect of Zn deficiency may also be in lymphocyte differentiation and maturity. Zn deficiency is known to decrease interleukin 2 production by helper T lymphocytes, and abnormalities in T-lymphocyte subpopulations have been observed in Zn-deficient humans.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)Nutrition 11(1 Suppl):93-9. · 3.05 Impact Factor

Machado's defense has been high caliber
May, 1, 2013
By Mark Simon, ESPN Stats & Info | ESPN.com
Roy Absalon/USA TODAY SportsBaltimore third baseman Manny Machado has been a terrific defender all season.
But through the first half-season of Machado's career, the Orioles third baseman has done more than his share to make up for that mistake.
Defensive Runs Saved is a stat devised by Baseball Info Solutions (BIS) that measures a fielder's ability to turn batted balls into outs and do other defensive things specific to his position. (In the case of a third baseman, defend bunts and convert double plays.)
Since the start of last season, Machado ranks fourth among third basemen in Defensive Runs Saved -- and that's despite playing about half as many innings as everyday players like David Wright and Adrian Beltre. The other primary defensive metric (UZR) also has Machado ranked near the top of his position.
Keep in mind that the player Machado was replacing as the primary third baseman, Wilson Betemit, finished 2012 credited with costing the Orioles six runs with his defense (-6 Defensive Runs Saved). The player originally intended for the position in 2012, Mark Reynolds, cost the Orioles seven runs in 142 innings.
In what aspects of third-base defense does Machado excel? A major league scout said of him:
"He is outstanding in all directions, with pop ups, relays, backhands and agility plays. He has a great throwing arm from all angles on the field, great feet, instinct-reactions and body control."
Let's break down Machado's skills with some numbers.
How can we put a value on the idea that Machado is "outstanding in all directions"?
Simply put: Machado gets to a lot of the balls he should, and a lot of the ones he shouldn't.
Revised Zone Rating (RZR) is a defensive stat that looks how often a fielder turns batted balls into outs when the ball is hit into an an area (a zone) at a speed in which players at his position convert more than 50 percent of balls into outs.
Through Monday, Machado's RZR ranks eighth of the 35 players who have played at least 500 innings at third base since the start of 2012.
Machado has also made 30 "Out of Zone plays" –- meaning he got an out in an area that no more than half the third basemen turned those batted balls into outs.
Machado's rate of Innings per Out of Zone play ranks fourth-best among those 35 third basemen.
Let's also note this:
The Orioles left-side defense has performed considerably better overall since Machado's arrival. Remember, their starting shortstop, J.J. Hardy, won a Gold Glove last season and ranks among the best at that spot.
Since Machado's recall, the Orioles have converted 77.4 percent of ground balls that on video review were either over or to the left of the second base bag into outs in that span, compared to 72.3 percent prior to his joining the team.
Over a full season, that equates to taking away nearly 60 would-be baserunners, just on ground balls to that part of the field.
Throwing arm
BIS provided a list of the 10 plays that had the most defensive value in impacting his Defensive Runs Saved total.
Almost all of them were ones in which Machado showed off his ability to go to his left and unleashed a cannon-like throw from an awkward position to rob a potential base hit.
The arm that was great from all angles has allowed him to get even the speediest of batters (including Coco Crisp and B.J. Upton) out on those plays.
Instinct -Reactions
The play Machado is best known for happened in an extra-inning win against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sept. 12, 2012, when he fielded a slow roller, faked a throw to first, then turned around and trapped the potential go-ahead run in a rundown off third base.
BIS classifies plays into about 30 categories of Good Fielding Plays and 50 categories of Defensive Misplays & Errors and that was one of 28 plays that qualified as "Good Fielding Plays" by video review. Since Aug. 9, 2012 that's tied with Pablo Sandoval for the second-most of any third baseman in the majors, trailing only Ryan Zimmerman's 41.
Not bad for someone who played a total of two minor-league games at third base.
As the scout also said. "It's going to be tough to move him off that position."

List your top three short, mid, and long-term requests for the game

"No short terms srry"
Mid terms:
1: New modifable weapons. I.E. When crafting ability to increase the attack power based on science level.
Limit based on weapons level Mk1 2.5-20. also depending on weapon type.
2:More ship damage. I.E. Phaser burns. Holes from Torpeados. Kinda tired of just engine damage. Also allow it to be more permant. Hull intergrity/hull plating.
3: Hull intergrity sepreated from hull plating basicly armor. allow the intergrity to be hp but allow the plating to be damage over time. Increasing damage to the ship the low your plating. Which is repairable by docking.
Armor and intergrity are two different things the intergrity can be repair to allow a ship to stablize itself. The plating is alittle harder and would require outside ship repair which is not doable in combat or travel.
Long Term:
1:Ability VS. Skills. Abilities should be based on race. Skills is something everyone can do. Abilites should also be modifiable along with skill. 3 abilities that affect phyiscal traits and skills. And two abilities that can replace offensive and defensive abilities. Such as psy shields that replace personal and can be upgraded to handle more damage. Offensive like berserk to increase damage and allow more knock back chances. Like 3 knockbacks before enemy becomes immune.
2:Turning galaxy map into a usable map I.E. I could click on Deferis section of the galaxy map and bring it up like a normal sector map and warp to. And please I beg of you remove that do you wish to warp thing. It's so annoying now.
3:Allow the player to diable ships/Ground units in PvE/PvP/Solo missions so you do not have to constanly be consider a combat unit. PvP disable is a 1min respawn time allowing the other player to board ship. And ability to board enemy PvE ships to take wanted weapon/Items. Also allow disable ground units to be beamed to sick bay then Jail.
4:Allow a player to use different parts of other weapons/shield/ships to create a new item. Prob acceptable craft skill above 2k. You decided.
5:Ability to use replicatiors on ship and starbases. This goes with it/// Allow the player to actually sit or lay in more areas then a captians chair.
6:Allow a player to access computer basicly a small window. Library for the ship. And hacking for enemies. using tech that allows the ability to hack and let the player mess with it.
7:Tricoder codex reading. A window that maps the area out up to so many meters showing items/missions/enemies. Also allow Tricoder scan to study plants, enemy weapons, and viable metals. In a little window giving a small report not a detailed that would require a ships study system.
8:keep the finding in space of craft items. But allow planet mining for required items. Goes with tricoder and ability to beam down to planets freely.
9: More planet maps and the ability to choose beaming location from bridge or tatical view.
That it for now if I think of anything else I'll drag my crazy mind back. Thank you.
Edit mid term:
Shield coloring for the ships. Instead of just bluish white why not different color pixels for the shield?

VANCOUVER -- RCMP murder investigators have identified the victim of a fatal North Vancouver shooting as a senior well known in the North Shore's Iranian-Canadian community for his love of music and Persian culture.
Rostam Poulad-Noshiravan, 69, a large promoter of Persian and Zoroastrian concerts, was identified by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team Sunday night.
Poulad-Noshiravan was shot to death in the 4000 block of St. Georges Avenue around 1:20 p.m. Saturday.
Hamid Zargarzadeh, a West Vancouver photographer who often took photographs at concerts for which Noshiravan sold tickets, remembered a kind man who would often be responsible for bringing out half the crowd of any given show.
"I'm very shocked for this man," Zarfarzadeh said. "He's a very good salesman for tickets - lots of people have his number."
Poulad-Noshiravan wasn't known to police and investigators are trying to figure out why he was shot in the chest, IHIT spokesman Sgt. Bari Emam said in the release.
Witnesses reported seeing a grey or silver import car speed away from the shooting.
"The victim's family are shocked by this incident and also hoping that tips from the public and those who may know something can assist the investigators in getting some answers."
Poulad-Noshiravan's shooting, North Vancouver's first of the year, snarled traffic Saturday as RCMP temporarily closed both the Lions Gate Bridge and the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge.
IHIT is asking anyone who may have information about this homicide or the car that left the scene to call the North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311, the IHIT Tipline at 778-290-5290 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you wish to remain anonymous you can call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or leave a tip on their website at Solvecrime.ca.

LeBron James: NBA players don't want Donald Sterling's wife retaining ownership of Los Angeles Clippers
LeBron James said he and other NBA players are prepared for a long fight between the league and Donald Sterling over ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers. James answered questions about the Clippers on Saturday after the Heat's practice at Baruch College in Manhattan.
"At the end of the day, it's going to be a long litigation when it comes to that," James said. "A guy who owned the team since the '80s is not going to just give the team up in a day."
James also indicated that NBA players do not want Sterling's wife, Shelly, to own any shares of the team if the NBA forces Donald Sterling out. Shelly Sterling has said she might file for a divorce from her estranged husband to gain partial ownership of the franchise. The NBA has banned Donald Sterling for life from all NBA-related events after audio recordings of Sterling making racially offensive remarks were released to TMZ.com.
"We understand it's going to be long, but we want what's right," James said. "As players, we want what's right and we don't feel like no one in his family should be able to own the team."
Meanwhile, Donald Sterling broke his silence Sunday in an interview with CNN during which he apologized for making racist remarks.
"I'm a good member who made a mistake, and I'm apologizing and I'm asking for forgiveness," Sterling said during the interview, which was scheduled to air Monday night. "Am I entitled to one mistake — am I, after 35 years? I mean, I love my league, I love my partners. Am I entitled to one mistake? It's a terrible mistake, and I'll never do it again."

BY MICHAEL RAMIREZ, Investor's Business Daily
Word came this week that the National Institutes of Health has suspended therapy-dog visits to sick children at its clinical center because of a 25% reduction in staff, even though volunteers run the program.
Seems the veterinarians who evaluate the dogs have been furloughed. So how about the frequently used dogs that have already been evaluated? No deal.
Last week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid refused to fund NIH clinical trials for children with cancer. When asked why, if it could mean saving a single child, Reid replied: "Why would we do that?"
These are just kids, after all. Who cares if they're in pain or die because of his intransigence and lack of compassion?
It's comforting to know, however, that the House and Senate gyms are still open, that the government had enough money to buy a mechanical bull and, while the feds barricaded the open-air National Mall and threatened to fine and arrest those who walk there, they'll let an immigration amnesty rally take place on those same grounds.
Growing Debt
After all, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez will be in attendance. Apparently, as with ObamaCare, they are exempt from the rules the rest of us must follow.
Then there are reports of the National Park Service kicking families out of campgrounds in the middle of the night and keeping drivers from stopping at turnouts that have views of Mount Rushmore, even though the turnouts are not part of the national park
The House has passed bills to fund the NIH, including its clinical trials and cancer treatments and programs that allow dogs to provide a moment of relief and temporary comfort to suffering children.
The House has also funded the national parks, so they can stay open, vacations won't be spoiled and Americans can visit monuments they fund with their tax dollars and park fees.
But Reid will have none of it. He wants the American people to suffer. It's not his sick child or his vacation or even his money.
We are where we are because the Senate has refused to do its job properly. We have added more than $6 trillion to our national debt in the last five years, not including the $80 trillion to $110 trillion in unfunded liabilities from entitlements before factoring in ObamaCare.
We continue to spend more money than we take in by almost $1 trillion a year even while revenues are reaching record levels.
As chairman and vice chairman of the bicameral Joint Economic Committee (JEC), we are tasked with evaluating the recommendations of the annual Economic Report of the President, which Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Jason Furman recently testified in defense of before the JEC. Despite the ...

Us Two
Wherever I am, there's always Pooh,
There's always Pooh and Me.
Whatever I do, he wants to do,
"Where are you going today?" says Pooh:
"Well, that's very odd 'cos I was too.
Let's go together," says Pooh, says he.
"Let's go together," says Pooh.
"What's twice eleven?" I said to Pooh.
("Twice what?" said Pooh to Me.)
"I think it ought to be twenty-two."
"Just what I think myself," said Pooh.
"It wasn't an easy sum to do,
But that's what it is," said Pooh, said he.
"That's what it is," said Pooh.
"Let's look for dragons," I said to Pooh.
"Yes, let's," said Pooh to Me.
We crossed the river and found a few-
"Yes, those are dragons all right," said Pooh.
"As soon as I saw their beaks I knew.
That's what they are," said Pooh, said he.
"That's what they are," said Pooh.
"Let's frighten the dragons," I said to Pooh.
"That's right," said Pooh to Me.
"I'm not afraid," I said to Pooh,
And I held his paw and I shouted "Shoo!
Silly old dragons!"- and off they flew.
"I wasn't afraid," said Pooh, said he,
"I'm never afraid with you."
So wherever I am, there's always Pooh,
There's always Pooh and Me.
"What would I do?" I said to Pooh,
"If it wasn't for you," and Pooh said: "True,
It isn't much fun for One, but Two,
Can stick together, says Pooh, says he. "That's how it is," says Pooh.

Picket fence
lucillleDecember 1, 2012
I'm building a mostly-ornamental 4 foot white picket fence. I was told by the city that no permit is required for a four foot fence. I went to Lowe's to get the posts. While I was there, a contractor struck up a conversation with me. He would not stop talking. I moved from the covered area where they were loading to the inside, he started following, then started talking to the Lowe's staff. I got an earful about fences. (And raising kids, immigration, etc.) Anyway one of the things he said was that I would need an 80 lb sack of quikcrete for each post.
This seems a little excessive for an ornamental 4 foot picket fence. For those who have built their fences, how much did you use per post?

Campaign to replace ageing Ulverston hospice vehicle fleet
Last updated at 14:32, Monday, 18 February 2013
THE Evening Mail's is hoping to raise £70,000 for St Mary's Hospice with the 'Reaching Out' campaign.
Money raised by the Reaching Out campaign will allow the hospice to replace seven vehicles it relies heavily upon to provide key services to its patients and carry out vital fundraising activities.
With the oldest vehicle in the fleet approaching 10 years old, the cost of repairs and maintenance is rapidly mounting for the charity.
Some of the cars are used by hospice nurses to provide support to people with life-limiting conditions who wish to receive care in their own homes.
Head of income generation Zoe Guest said the vehicles get well used and are starting to struggle to cope with the strain.
And Maddy Bass, head of nursing, said without the vehicles, the hospice would not be able to operate.
She added: "With an ageing population, you get a lot more people on their own. I think the future is about reaching out into the community because people are less able to get out and about – we take the hospice to them."
The four cars, two vans and the 4x4 are used to visit patients being cared for at home, to carry equipment to major fundraising events and to transport stock to and from the charity shops and furniture warehouse.
And Mrs Bass said it is just as important to ensure staff can get to the fundraising events as without the income they generate, it would not be possible to provide the high standards of care patients receive.
She said: "If you can't get there it may be the difference between people giving and not giving."
With the hospice already having to raise £2m every year to cover its costs, the Evening Mail has decided to help out by providing a new and more cost-effective fleet of vehicles.
Every day this week there will be an article highlighting different aspects of the important work the staff and volunteers do — and how important it is for them to get out into the community.

One thing I have to point out, though, is how much we spend on defense compared to the rest of the world. When doing international budget comparisons, the only real comparisons is by percentage of GDP.

DEFINITION of 'Employment Cost Index - ECI'
A quarterly report from the U.S. Department of Labor that measures the growth of employee compensation (wages and benefits). The index is based on a survey of employer payrolls in the final month of each quarter. The ECI tracks movement in the cost of labor, including wages, fringe benefits and bonuses for employees at all levels of a company.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Employment Cost Index - ECI'
The idea behind analyzing ECI is that as wage pressures increase, so does inflation because compensation tends to increase before companies increase prices for consumers. Thus, it is considered inflationary when the ECI has an increasing trend or exhibits a jump that is higher than expected for a given period. In addition, as inflation increases, yields and interest rates also rise, resulting in a decrease in bond prices.

Need Advice for edf location on the plane???please...
Hi To All,
I m in a big confusion after flew with my Jet Legend f-16 with vasa 120 (12s 30c 6200mah , cc 160hv)
other 2 guys flew same plane with jet joe turbines just before me, one of them has 4.8kg and other is 5.5kg thrust only ,,on the ground even with worst 12s batteries i have 5.6kg thrust with my vasa 120 edf...
at the take off i pushed full throttle and my plane took off after run around 150-200meters than i could climb up with 20degree angle only, from 1.5min minute of flight my plane even can not climb up because thrust was not enough.i did 3 min flight and than landed succesfully, while flying even i afraid to gear up, i was thinking can be something happen and will not have time to let them down before land.
i was use to fly with not enough powered sailplanes so i manage to flew and land succesfully today
my edf is just located on the tail of plane to get rid of duct(intake) and .exhaust...
but i made so many holes back , under the plane to let enter more air in..
please guys,give me some advices, now i have confusion,
if edf on the back side, intake air is very enough for fan but cable between battery to motor is 100cm long
if i remove my edf to middle of the plane than cable will get shorter but intake is not enough...jet legend intake is very small tough...
so which one is better? if back side cable long so thrust maybe not enough ?
if its middle it ll be not enough again because air entering not enough ?
so what to do ?

Hello firstly i would have mounted the edf in the normal location not in the tail? then you will have a thrust tube and perhaps a bit more thrust. Also are all your lipos up at the nose? .
i understand that Jet legend gives you the option of a turbine in the tail or under the main hatch so i can see why you have done it .Full intake ducting is not required and a simple intake lip will work <Full ducting will work better>but its more work to make and install,
stick the edf under the hatch make a nice straight clean mylar tube and then try again??
cheers Euan.

Do you have an intake lip on the fan? You will lose a ton of thrust without one. Without a exaust thrust tube you are making static thrust but the air is moving slowly. So in the air you have very little thrust. You should have just mounted the fan further forward with an exhaust thrust tube and an intake lip. I probably would have flown fine. The holes on the bottom most likely just ruined the look of your plane.

thanks egall232,,
i think this is what i will do , remove the edf to middle of the plane again which is standart location for turbine...but do you have any photo or exact material to make thrust tube ? or how thick myler suppose ok ?
some pilots said, even can use X-RAY film for it, but i dont think its enough strong for 120mm edf

drafting mylar works well if you can get it, i ended up using plastic PETG sheet from Hobbyking <the thicker of the two> as i struggled to get what i needed locally .X ray film will also work ,
cheers Euan.

Put your fan mid mount under the fan hatch and install a thrust tube and an intake lip. this is how i did it on my skymaster f-16.
Here is a video with a vasa fan in a skymaster f-16, i think with an intake lip also. The performance is quite decent.

I have had good results using a section from a paper conical drinking cup for a thrust cone, cut it so to get the desired exit area.

The Emotion theme is abused in these games to an annoying degree. I thought that Game Freak knew what they were doing when they only used it once in the prequels.
The Emotion theme is abused in these games to an annoying degree. I thought that Game Freak knew what they were doing when they only used it once in the prequels.
I take that you can't access them after you already beaten the game? Oh well.
@Flare Blitz;
What do you mean?
bel battles.
well, more about cheren's. For some uncertain reason, Cheren has the wrong monkey? Not the exact same team. If he has Jalorda, he has Baokkie (and presumably the rest are switched around as well). Either this is a glitch/coding mistake, or... iunno. Bel's is still the correct monkey according to her post-game BW teams, just Cheren's is not. It doesn't seem to clarify why in-game either.
Oh and while I cut it out of the quote, Iris mentions Sinnoh legends in the memory link if I'm not remembering wrong (I'm too lazy to dig up pictures I took), so I think it's hinted she's from Sinnoh? I'd have to go look at the scene again, but I'm really sure she mentioned Sinnoh folk tales and such.
So its true. I guess Game Freak got kind of confused since they inverted the Monkey elements for Hugh.
So what is the Skyla/Elesa memory link thing even about? They never even met in BW1.
Still the Unova Champion in my book.
You can battle cheren and bianca with their BW team if you use this feature. Thats what i heard.
Please call me LT, not XX or whatever. Thanks.
Besides, Iris implies she is actually from Unova, even if adopted:
"You've been on a journey and seen a lot of the world. I'm like that, too! I'm from way out in the country. I'm really happy that I've gotten to meet lots of different people and Pokémon!!"
Fuuro for help or whatever. The scene involves some painful puns from Kamitsure as well, which Fuuro kinda seems to, like, cringe at hahaha
Kays, My memory's a bit fuzzy on exact lines and I'm too lazy to look back at the scenes to reread through it in full a lot of the time :VShe only references the Sinnoh Folk Tales, it doesn't imply she comes from there.
Besides, Iris implies she is actually from Isshu, even if adopted
It would be interesting, but it seems to me that the anime writers moved the Dragon Village to Unova. Iris received Axew from the village elder, so she hasn't been on a journey for too long. Why, then, is she so familiar with Unova? Most likely because she's always lived there in the anime. In fact, Iris is definitely not a know-it-all considering how little she knows about Pokémon from the Japan-based regions; Ash could make fun of her for that.I think it'd be quite funny actually, Iris constantly chastising Ash for being "such a kid" for not knowing stuff then revealing later on, maybe from Drayden that when she came she made the same mistakes.
Indeed. We know from B2W2 that the Dragon Village is far from Unova, so it is definitely not in Unova itself even if it is part of the same country. "Way out in the country" also implies as much.Yes but in the Pokemon world region =/= country. She could be from outside Unova but still in the same country.

In response to:
It's not about whether drugs are harmful or not, it's about money and power the War on Drugs provides government. Government only cares about money and power, period. Too many conservatives, that imbibe frequently to the point of impairment, mind you, want a moral license to judge marijuana users so they can feel superior. Government wants their votes, hence, marijuana is the devil's work, although God created it. Satan has to be laughing at God that he deceived people that claim they love and follow the Lord into legislating one of his plants illegal. We'll never evolve spiritually as a nation as long as we approve locking-up people for using one of God's creations. Let the the hypocrites respond.

I guess I can't get enough. Yesterday's mail brought me:
Big Sacaton (Sporobolus wrightii)
Big Bluestem (Andropogon gerardii)
Little Bluestem (Andropogon scoparius or Schizachyrium scoparium, which is it?)
My understanding is that none of them require cold stratification, so I'm going to sow them now.
Any experience with these?

"With the popularity of our premium grade plastic lumber, we were inundated with requests for a product with similar durability; however, not requiring the U.V. stabilizing and esthetic features such as surface smoothing and color choices," said Tim Pletcher, sales, POLY-WOOD Lumber Division. "Available in black, this utility grade lumber line makes it possible for us to manufacture it with our highest level of recycled content." .
POLY-WOOD's Lumber Division currently is a leading provider of recycled plastic lumber for the outdoor furnishings and accessories industry. With POLY-WOOD's Utility Grade lumber, the company can respond to growing demand from a wider range of markets. The features of heavy duty durable grade High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and excellent dimensional consistency meet the requirements for numerous industries and applications.
Those targeted with the new POLY-WOOD Utility Grade line include commercial marine environments, landscaping applications, playgrounds, water parks, and car wash facilities as well as heavy transport and pallet applications to commercial truck body kick boards. The product also is finding uses closely related to its outdoor living beginnings as the utility grade lumber is being used in under structures for furniture including picnic tables.
"It has become a popular solution for end users looking for a durable, chemical resistant, moisture proof plastic lumber with unlimited uses as many industries are just realizing this product's potential," said Pletcher. "At POLY-WOOD, we are constantly adding new profiles and colors to our already extensive product offering while at the same time maintaining our philosophy of environmental consciousness. This product does just that."
POLY-WOOD, Inc. recently increased the capacity of its production facilities headquartered in Syracuse, Ind.

BMW Wants To Make The 3 Series Out Of Carbon Fiber, But Can't Just Yet
