Traveling from Copenhagen to China, and from Australia to the US, this…
Post-Carbon Futures
Could the bluish-green liquid sloshing around in a laboratory beaker save the world from climate change? The liquid is an algae-based bio-fuel, and scientist Steve Mayfield believes it is a sign that a post-carbon future is drawing closer.
If we're going to avoid catastrophic climate change, we will need to move away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible. But which alternatives are the most promising?
POST-CARBON FUTURES, a companion documentary to MR. CO2, examines the options — from massive wind and solar projects, to re-engineering the planet itself, to more modest local efforts.
From his office in sunny California, John Woolard of BrightSource Energy sees the future in solar power. The company runs the largest solar plant in the US. Located in Nevada, it produces enough energy to power 15,000 homes. Woolard says we don't have an energy problem, we have a collection and distribution problem. But with 2,000 new cars hitting the road in Beijing every day, and China set to open a new coal-fired plant a week for the next decade, the truth is we will require far more energy than solar and wind energy can produce — unless we want to cover the surface of the earth with collector panels and windfarms.
Some believe the solution lies in enormous, continent-altering projects — such as a plan to blanket the Sahara in solar panels to produce electricity for Europe. Meanwhile, the developers of the proposed green city of Cao Fei Dian, 150 miles from Beijing, see the future in a city built from scratch on in-filled coastal land.
POST-CARBON FUTURES makes the case that we need a completely different approach to economic growth and prosperity — that geo-engineering and building huge projects simply in order to maintain a consumer society makes no sense.
British environmentalist Tim Jackson, from the University of Surrey, and French writer Paul Aries both argue that our current economic system has trapped us into needing to constantly increase our emissions. Aries, a leading advocate of the 'de-growth' movement passionately argues for a re-imagining of our economic system — not just cutting back on emissions but redefining prosperity itself.
The film travels to the UK, where we visit the British 'transition town' of Totnes, which is converting itself into an environmentally sustainable community, and meet permaculture activists in San Francisco who dream of turning the city's 1,800 acres of lawns into sources of food, fuel and fibre.
The Copenhagen and Cancun climate summits resulted in stalemates. But perhaps the focus on international treaties is misplaced. Maybe our best hope for bold changes lies right in our backyards.

Sports guys eyes opened to Iowa sports
I'm From Dallas City, Il, so I knew where Fort Madison was and could actually navigate the city with relative ease. What I could not do however, was tell you how good the football team was, how the baseball team was looking or who was all going out for the basketball squad this season.
Some of those questions I still can't answer due to those seasons being so far away (I'm still working on meeting with the coaches), but what I can tell you is what I have seen from Fort Madison High School and the surrounding community has made me feel more excited than ever before for what the future holds.
Coming from rural Illinois, we had a football field surrounded by corn fields and basketball gyms that can only seat a quarter or so of what a 3A Iowa school can. So imagine my shock walking into Fort Madison High School and getting greeted by the bronze Bloodhound. Or walking into the cafeteria and seeing professionally hand drawn photos of each athlete that has made it to the state tournament for Fort Madison. Or when I walked into Baxter Sport Complex to realize the Hounds had some of the nicest facilities in the state to play on. (I know not all sports get played at Baxter, but still.)
The list of reasons why I was left in awe goes on and on, but still, going from Class 2A in rural Illinois to Class 3A in Iowa, I've seen a significant difference in talent level and the size of the schools' facilities. Just yesterday I had the privilege of working from the friendly confines of Bracewell Stadium in Burlington, a place that initially had me feeling like I was attending a professional game.
When I was first asked about the prospect of covering Fort Madison sports, I didn't know what to think. I had covered Hancock County sports (Illini West, West Hancock, Southeastern) for nearly four years and didn't really know how I would adjust to a "bigger city". I put bigger city in quotations because I realize many reading this will scoff at the notion that Fort Madison resembles anything that of a big city. But let me tell you, for a rural (somewhat) country boy, Fort Madison is the big time.
After a month into working for the Pen City Current, my mood about making the leap across the river has changed drastically. I now know the significance of the Big Blue Oval at Drake. I now know to bring gnat spray with me to Bracewell Stadium. And most importantly, I now know that I may be out of my comfort zone in a bigger market, but the opportunities and places you get to see and cover while in the bigger market really helps to broaden horizons. That goes for both those covering the athletics and the athletes themselves.
Whether or not the Fort Madison community or its athletes feel their town is "big time," just know that this small-town boy is proud to cover the Bloodhounds and looks forward to the many programs' continued success.
I've heard there hasn't been a lot of success from Bloodhound athletics in the past few years, but from what I've witnessed in my short time in the area, Fort Madison High School athletics is on the rise. And whether they realize it or not, these "big city" athletes have a much greater chance of broadening their horizons on these bigger stages. Hopefully many of those involved in athletics get the chance to broaden their horizons even more past high school whether that be going on to a bigger college, moving to another country or provide local news coverage to an area they are completely unfamiliar with. #BrickByBrick

Saw a preview this evening.
I would like to recommend it to my friends here at the forum. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Unlike many films of this genre, every character is fully developed.
James Newton Howard's score was amazing. Unlike, Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson's previous achievement, scored by Howard Shore, there is no distinctive musical theme. But James Newton Howard's music, intensely propels Jacksons incredible imagery. I found it more complex than Howard Shores excellent Rings score.
But back to the script.
Its a story we all know. We all know how it ends. So how can it be told in a way that is still engaging, captivating, and thoroughly entertaining? I think these are the questions Jackson and his team where asking themselves in developing this film. You can tell they thought long and hard about it They came up with some interesting answers.

Temat postu: The Hamilton Bulldogs second line had it going F
MONTREAL -- The Hamilton Bulldogs second line had it going Friday night. Michael Blunden scored twice and Gabriel Dumont added another as the Bulldogs defeated the Syracuse Crunch 4-1 in American Hockey League action in front of 8,002 fans at the Bell Centre in Montreal. "Weve been working well since weve been put together," said Blunden of Dumont and Justin Courtnall, his third linemate. "I really enjoy our line. We just have to keep going. "Were playing good hockey right now. Were scoring goals. Things are good right now. Justin and Gabe (Dumont) just work their butts off." Blundens line was responsible for three of four goals, and five total points. "Its been good since the beginning of the year," said Dumont, who scored his first goal of the year mid-way through the second period. "Tonight, the puck went in for our line. We always play well, especially recently. Were playing solidly." Blunden scored late in the first period after a couple of beautiful manoeuvres from Dumont and the 26-year-old forward returned the favour in the third, feeding Dumont to make the score 3-0 at that point. Bulldogs (8-7-3) head coach Sylvain Lefebvre played his second line against Syracuses top line, which includes NHL-calibre players Nikita Kucherov and Vladislav Namestnikov, and was pleased with the result. "Theyre doing the job," said Lefebvre. "Dumont scored, Blunden got two goals. Their line is playing good, solid, physical hockey - really good hockey. All in all, it was a great night. "(Dumont) has had a lot of scoring chances since the start of the season. Scoring his first of the season was a weight lifted off his shoulders Im sure." Goaltender Dustin Tokarski made 25 saves on 26 shots for Hamilton. Syracuses (9-5-2) Jean-Philippe Cote ruined Tokarskis shutout bid late in the third period. Tokarski now has a 2.07 goals-against-average and a .927 save percentage. The Bulldogs opened the scoring when Blunden put his fourth of the year over Crunch goaltender Cedrick Desjardins shoulder at 15:55 of the first. Dumont was instrumental on the play, dodging a hit along the boards and skillfully avoiding a sprawling Luke Witkowksi in front of the net before feeding the puck to Blunden. "We practice 2-on-1s pretty often," said Dumont of the play. "I knew he was going to post up there. I just saw him out there. I knew if I had (Witkowski) beat, when he dove, that if I just left it there for him, he was going to score." Morgan Ellis doubled Hamiltons lead when his slap shot from the blue line beat Desjardins at 11:00 of the second period. It was also his first of the year. The Bulldogs kept pressing and scored again two minutes later on another 2-on-1 when Blunden unselfishly dished the puck to a wide-open Dumont. Syracuse defenceman Cote, who played five seasons with Hamilton and eight career NHL games with the Canadiens in 2005, scored a consolation goal for the Crunch at 15:13 of the third period. Blunden added an empty-netter. With the win, the Bulldogs extended their win streak to three games and jumped to 8th in the Western Conference with 19 points. Syracuse and Hamilton face off again Saturday night at the War Memorial Arena in New York. Notes: Hamilton leading-scorer Sven Andrighetto is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and did not face the Crunch. a Syracuse beat Hamilton 4-1 at the Bell Centre last season in front of 18,582 fans.

. 3 seed Phillip Kohlschreiber from Germany. Defending champion Marin Cilic also reached the semifinals -- his fourth in Zagreb -- defeating fellow Croat Ivan Dodig. German qualifier Bjorn Phau beat Dudi Sela of Israel to reach his first semifinals in nearly five years. SAN FRANCISCO -- As hard-hitting safety Donte Whitner headed out of the Bay Area for his hometown of Cleveland, the San Francisco 49ers wasted little time finding someone to fill his position. Safety Antoine Bethea agreed to a $23 million, four-year contract with the Niners on Tuesday as the NFLs free agency period began, and then the 49ers acquired offensive tackle Jonathan Martin from the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday night to reunite him with former Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh. Bethea announced on Twitter he had joined the 49ers, saying: "Glad to be a Niner!! Going to the Bay!!!" A person with knowledge of Betheas contract provided details of the financial terms, speaking on condition of anonymity because they werent announced and the 49ers had yet to acknowledge the signing. Also Tuesday, veteran place kicker Phil Dawson received a new two-year contract after a sensational first season in San Francisco. Dawson announced on his Twitter page that he had re-signed, then the team made it formal. The sides had discussions over the past two weeks. "My experience being on the inside did nothing but confirm what I already knew to be true, that San Francisco is a super attractive place to play and my experience last season only furthered that notion in my mind," Dawson said. "Coming into free agency, my No. 1 goal was to remain a 49er. Fortunately that was able to work out." Whitner, meanwhile, announced on Twitter he would join the Browns: "To all my former teammates and coaches. I love you all! I will always cherish you guys!" he wrote. And linebacker Patrick Willis wrote on Twitter, "Man (at)DonteWhitner u will be missed G." For the second straight March, San Francisco watched a top safety leave for a big contract elsewhere. Last year, Dashon Goldson departed for Tampa Bay and 2013 top draft pick Eric Reid replaced him. The 29-year-old Bethea had 110 tackles, two interceptions and a sack last season, his sixth straight year starting every game for the Indianapolis Colts. "The thing I love about the 49ers is when they lose someone they pick someone up, which we certainly did that with Antoine," Dawson said. "Im excited to get to know him and certainly Ive followed him through the years. Were going to try to keep on plugging forward and keep on getting better." The 49ers secondary also lost cornerback Carlos Rogers after three seasons Tuesday, an expected cost-cutting move by the team. Cornerback Eric Wright posted a photo on his Instagram account via Twitter of a new 49ers contract, but the team didnt confirm he had received a new deal.dddddddddddd San Francisco also acquired quarterback Blaine Gabbert from Jacksonville for a sixth-round draft pick this year and a conditional pick next season, apparently finding a capable backup for Colin Kaepernick. The deal was pending a physical. Gabbert started the first three games for Jacksonville last season before being benched in favour of Chad Henne, re-signed Friday to a two-year contract worth $8 million. The 24-year-old Gabbert was the 10th overall draft pick in 2011 out of Missouri. He has thrown for 22 touchdowns in three NFL seasons, completing 414 of 777 passes for 4,357 yards in 28 games and 27 starts. "We thought highly of Blaine as an early entry into the 2011 NFL draft," 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said. "He is a high-character individual that will be given every opportunity to develop within our system and we are looking forward to working with him." Bringing back Dawson has been a top priority for both sides for months -- with Harbaugh saying, "pay the man" -- and it got done quickly. The 39-year-old Dawson was a big reason the 49ers returned to the NFC championship game. In his first year with the 49ers following 14 seasons in Cleveland, Dawson converted 32 of 36 field goals and set a franchise record with 27 successful field goals in a row. "Phil has been a consummate pro and clutch performer his entire career and we are pleased that he has chosen to continue on with the 49ers," Baalke said. "It was important to this organization to have a veteran kicker like Phil as we enter our first season in a new stadium." The 49ers move into the new $1.2 billion Levis Stadium at team headquarters this year. Soon, Dawson will return from his family home in Austin, Texas, to start practicing at the new stadium, where the NFLs first automatic collapsible goal posts were installed last week. Dawson plans to keep playing as long as he can maintain his high level. "I want to be a difference-maker for my team," he said. "Signing this contract I fully expect to live up to those standards and then some." With Rogers departure, San Francisco cleared $5.1 million in salary-cap room. The 32-year-old Rogers, who missed time late in the season with a strained right hamstring, had 47 tackles and two interceptions last season. Rogers received a $31.3 million, four-year contract in March 2012 and was due to earn $6.6 million in 2014. The 49ers announced they tendered one-year contracts to restricted free-agent tight end and defensive tackle Demarcus Dobbs and exclusive rights free-agent linebacker Michael Wilhoite. ' ' '

HEAT - is a mechanical increasing (contact action) in vibration
(oscillations) of the "hedgehogs" needles' neutrons' pentads under the thermal carriers action with the simultaneous increasing in the
neutrons' twisting in the "hedgehogs" needles' pentads, in twisting of the needles themselves, in twisting of the "skipping ropes"
(compounded pairs of the "hedgehogs" needles), in twisting of the "hedgehogs"-gases themselves under the increased magnetic lines of
force in the shape of the small needles, threads, ropes from the neutrinos' pentads with the neutrinos' accelerating mechanism
action, and under the increased gravitational flow, which is the unstructured component of the magnetic fields directed to the needles
The thermal carriers are free carriers of a lot of thousands kinds as single, so the
temporary jointed in the small groups, and also fragments of the structured energy
carriers, for example, of Light, the magnetic lines of force with their accelerating
The main thermal carriers in the 1-st parallel world are neutrons and fragments of
the needles, threads, and ropes of Light.
In the Universe, Light possesses the strongest mechanical force. In the item
("Neutrons' (nuclear) forces"), it is shown how acting in the pentads' axis nuclear force
generates, which is combined, turning a Light rope into a power rocket with a nuclear
engine. The rope thickness can be larger than any cell size of the lattices. Such a rope – a
Light rocket can pierce the way through any lattice up to thousands kilometers of
thickness, provided that conditions for its generation are established.
In bursting shells, just the Light ropes are mechanical force throwing away
fragments at long distances.
For example, let's consider an elementary bomb – ball with a fuse. The metal body
of the ball is a solid crystalline shell inside which, there is an explosive (a substance in
which, the chain reaction can actively develop) and the burning fuse serves as a starter of
the chain reaction. In the burning fuse, only Hydrogen takes part in the chain reaction
irrespective of the material in the flame surface layer. When the weak chain reaction on
Hydrogen reaches the explosive, at the first moment the chain reaction on Hydrogen will
begin there, but for the body presence, the neutrons have no place where to be scattered
and inside of the bomb their flux forms from the fuse to the opposite side. The dense
neutrons' flux forms the needles, threads, and ropes of Light with the nuclear accelerating
mechanism; it is power rockets with the nuclear engines commensurable with the sizes of
the substance and body lattices. Having broken open the explosive lattice and developed
the chain reaction, the number, thickness and power of the ropes-Light rockets sharply
increase in and they, like a free-running laser, breach weak places of the body breaking it
off. Then the bumped into sides of fragments ropes-Light rockets carry away the fragments at rather long distances, depending on their power and the fragments' masses.
Light in the common life, pressure of which even could not be defined for a long
time regards to the scattered one, i.e. its density is low and the ropes' thickness is minimal. The
shorter Light rope, the less pentads' quantity in it, and respectively, the less total nuclear
force acting in one direction. Light velocity depends on the ropes' lengths. Let's remember
TV programs in which nuclear and hydrogen bombs' bursts are shown, for instance, in
water. From the top shooting, it is seen, as the shock wave comes the first (the small
thickness' surface, in which the chain reaction occurs, i.e. breaking down the "hedgehogs"
of the gases and liquids with sharp increasing in density of the neutrons and other thermal
carriers) with supersonic speed, i.e. without disturbance of the environment in front of it.
Before the shock wave, the water has a usual colour typical to the given lighting. Inside of
the shock wave circle, the water is lighted. Where did Light appear from and why is it not
coming from the expanding shock wave circle? The shock wave velocity is not higher,
than 4 km/s, but the Light one is many hundred thousand kilometers per second. The
neutrons' high density is in the shock wave, but vacuum is in the narrow layer after it in
the water. The flux is always directed from the high-density zone to the low one, and more
often than not it is connected with vacuum. The Light Ropes have directions to the circle
center, therefore and light bias, and confirmation of the theory, but practically, there is not
Light outside the circle. And the same effect is observed on the salt lake, when the jet car
is breaking through the sound barrier and everything is lightened in the opposite side to the
shock wave motion direction. In shooting from top, it is a very beautiful sight, as if a solid
golden field behind the shock wave were lit, and in front of it – a night in broad daylight.
Such a difference is in Light force.
Let's consider heat supply to one "hedgehog" needle in the lattice under the
standard conditions (20оС, 760 mm Hg). The heat supply under those conditions is
essentially a directed neutron flux. Let's have a look at the "hedgehog" needle. A
"thermal" neutron (a heating one), with its active magnetic field and kinetic energy,
collides or simply pushes first and foremost to the "hedgehog" needle magnetic field,
through which impulse of force is transferred to the neutrons. Neutrons' oscillation
increases in. More neutrinos of the gravitational flow of the Earth's needle and
correspondingly of the star – the Sun began to come into the increased periodical gaps
between the neutrons. Having the higher twisting, than the neutrons' neutrinos in the
contact places through the impulse of force, the gravitational neutrinos increase in twisting
of the neutrons' neutrinos and partially loses their, and "crumpled" ones are carried out by
the gravitational flow of the Earth-star to the common star gravitational flow, which
returns to the Luminary. So, by mere mechanically, the star transfers its energy to every
particle of all parallel worlds and their activities are hold by that. If the star were removed,
the every of its structures would have broken down to the components, as of substances, so
of the particles, i.e. their activity would have ceased, what defines the death in the natural
sense, though the deaths of some are always a start of lives of others in the proper and the
philosophical senses.
Now about the main differences between heat and Light:
1. In breaking down, Light multiplies quantity of the main thermal carriers of
the 1-st parallel world – neutrons, forms electromagnetic fields, which generate gravitational flows of the neutrinos with the trapped part of thermal
neutrons; the pentads from the neutrons form chemical elements, and the neutrinos form the small magnets for the "hedgehogs" needles of those
elements, i.e. the accustomed for us mass in the form of substances and plants.
2. An inverse process of coupling generates Light – an energy carrier with the
neutron (nuclear) driving mechanism.
3. Temperature is density of the above enumerated thermal carriers with the
small fragments of energy carriers, and it can't reach a quantity more, than ~
The thermal carriers come out from the bodies and substances, obeying the density
distribution law, i.e. tend to the position, when the density will become uniform and that a
crucial factor.
After forming, Light with the neutron (nuclear) driving mechanism doesn't depend
on both the movement direction, and any circumstances, because it is the most powerful
mechanical force in the Universe. The weak Light and laser beams can be deflected.
For instance, Light has gone from the lantern, but the filament cools off for a
plenty long time obeying the density distribution law, because there is no any structure for
the strictly directed actions in the thermal carriers.

Digitized Lives
Culture, Power, and Social Change in the Internet Era
Prices & shipping based on shipping country
Book Description
In a remarkably short period of time the Internet and associated digital communication technologies have deeply changed the way millions of people around the globe live their lives. But what is the nature of that impact? In chapters examining a broad range of issues—including sexuality, politics, education, race, gender relations, the environment, and social protest movements—Digitized Lives seeks answers to these central questions: What is truly new about so-called "new media," and what is just hype? How have our lives been made better or worse by digital communication technologies? In what ways can these devices and practices contribute to a richer cultural landscape and a more sustainable society?
Cutting through the vast—and often contradictory—literature on these topics, Reed avoids both techno-hype and techno-pessimism, offering instead succinct, witty and insightful discussions of how digital communication is impacting our lives and reshaping the major social issues of our era. The book argues that making sense of digitized culture means looking past the glossy surface of techno gear to ask deeper questions about how we can utilize technology to create a more socially, politically, and economically just world.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, in a meeting on Saturday with a group of professors, scientific elites and researchers from universities, science and technology parks, as well as scientific and research centers, sketched out the Islamic Republic's 20-year objectives for turning into a "powerful, dignified, independent, religious, rich, and justice-oriented" Iran "endowed with a popular, clean, industrious, compassionate and pious government." Noting that universities set the foundation for the achievement of such lofty goals, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution said: "'Accelerating the pace of the scientific growth at universities and scientific centers', 'creating and strengthening the sense of [being part of] the dignified Iranian-Islamic identity among the youth', 'maintaining revolutionary spirit of universities and students' and '[paving the way for] soft war commanders and officers' to play their genuine role' are among requirements for the Islamic establishment to become a prominent scientific power and a model of democracy endowed with [the values of] Islam and spirituality in the world."

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in a meeting with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Monday, referred to the brilliant cultural and civilizational history of Iran and Greece, saying: "This visit can be a good start for increasing exchanges and long-term cooperation between the two countries."
Referring to the Greek prime minister's remarks about the existence of conflicting viewpoints and interests in Europe, Ayatollah Khamenei said: "This criticism against Europe is sustained that unlike the past, it lacks an independent will in the face of America, which Europeans must do away with this weakness."
With respect to the Greek prime minister's remarks on the issue of Syria, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution said: "Terrorism is a contagious and very dangerous disease, which could be controlled provided that everybody dealt with it seriously, but unfortunately, certain [governments] are directly or indirectly aiding terrorist currents."
Highlighting commonalities and convergence between policies pursued by Iran and Greece, Ayatollah Khamenei said: "Your Excellency and your government follow an independent policy and line, which we hope you would be able to overcome economic problems [in your country] and this trip would be a step toward further strengthening of the two countries' interests."
During this meeting, which was also attended by Iran's First Vice President Es'haq Jahangiri, Mr. Alexis Tsipras, prime minister of Greece, addressed the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, saying: "You are the Leader of great and honorable people, who have played a determining role in history and also in defending their ideals and independence."
Mr. Tsipras described his Iran visit as a sign of the existence of a joint political will in the two countries for boosting cooperation at all levels, adding: "This trip is a turning point in bilateral relations and will be in the best interests of both countries."
Pointing to conflicting viewpoints and interests as well as complications and problems in Europe, the Greek prime minister said: "The European countries have interdependent economies and any change in them is very difficult. To fix this situation, the composition of forces in the European Union must change."
On the issue of Syria, Mr. Tsipras said: "We hope to witness positive developments in the case of Syria, because this crisis has humanitarian dimensions, which have forced hundreds of thousands of people to leave their homes due to terrorists' attacks and migrate to other countries including Greece."

Ibtihaj Muhammad is the first American athlete to partake in the Olympics with hijab.
The 30-year-old Muslim is a fencer who wears hijab in contests and will go to the 2016 Summer Olympics wearing one, Huffington Post reported Tuesday.
She won the bronze medal in the Women's Sabre World Cup on Saturday to be qualified to represent the US fencing team in Rio, Brazil.
"When most people picture an Olympic fencer, they probably do not imagine a person like me. Fortunately, I am not most people," she explains in her USA Fencing bio. "I have always believed that with hard work, dedication, and perseverance, I could one day walk with my U.S. teammates into Olympic history."
"I want to compete in the Olympics for the United States to prove that nothing should hinder anyone from reaching their goals -- not race, religion or gender. I
want to set an example that anything is possible with perseverance."
The New Jersey native has been fencing since the age of 13.
The 2016 games, or Jogos Olímpicos de Verão de 2016 in Portuguese, will be held from August 5 to August 21.

Fresh from a trip to Japan, chef Nobuo Fukuda is geared up for another special "Japanese street food" event at Welcome Diner this Saturday night, from sundown until midnight.
This is the third street food dinner that the James Beard Award-winner has hosted for his hungry masses of fans since shuttering Sea Saw in May. While Fukuda is known for cutting-edge contemporary Japanese creations -- which he continued to serve over the summer at a series of tasting dinners at NOCA -- at the Welcome Diner events, he's testing more casual, budget-friendly eats that you might eventually see on the menu at his new restaurant (which is still in the works, but will likely be in Central Phoenix).
What's on the menu for this weekend?
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City

As before, Fukuda will be cooking his fabulous pork buns and shortrib buns, as well as okonomiyaki (a sort of seafood pancake slathered in sauce and Kewpie mayo, dried seaweed and dried shaved bonito). He'll also have a few dishes utilizing farm-fresh produce from McClendon's Select, including a salad, squash blossoms stuffed with a mixture of goat cheese, dried shiitake, dried shrimp, and green onion, as well as fried okra.
Dessert will likely be chilled mitsumame, a summery dessert that combines fruit, gelatin cubes, and sweet red beans; to drink, there will be three flavors of ramune soda, plus green tea. Welcome Diner is BYOB, although you must be inside the building to drink your booze.
In addition to Saturday's dinner, Welcome Diner will be serving its regular diner menu for First Friday (sunset to midnight), and will host a variety of other events later this month, including a special Butter Burger Night courtesy of Matt Pool from Matt's Big Breakfast (Oct. 23). Stay tuned for further details.

I look forward to your bashing of my next post
I look forward to your bashing of my next post
The Steelers do seem to have depth at WR, but I wouldn't trade Washington. I would have said the same thing before Friday, too. Having options between Moncrief, Washington and Johnson isn't a bad thing. You could use a big set with Moncrief, Washington and JuJu, or a smaller group with Johnson or Switzer/Eli mixed in as the third WR.
If the Steelers trade a WR, I'd trade Eli. He is a very good route runner, and if he could bring back a 6th from a team in need at the position, I'd make the move.

Absolute claptrap and utter rubbish. In the first instance lets get some facts straight, Halal meat is killed in a very similar way to Kosher meat. But I don't think he mentioned the Jewish community.
Maybe he had missed the following report in the Independent, 21 June 2010 by Martin Hickman, Consumer Affairs Correspondent
"New EU rules require compulsory labelling of halal meat.
Millions of cows, goats and chickens are slaughtered without stunning each year in the UK under Muslim and Jewish practices, which enjoy an exemption from animal welfare laws.
The RSPCA, other welfare organisations and the Government's veterinary experts say the practice is cruel and should be ended, but another concern is that the meat re-enters the general food chain where it is unwittingly consumed by the general population.
In a series of votes on food labelling this week, which also backed compulsory country-of-origin labelling on all meat, MEPs voted by 559 to 54 for compulsory labelling of the religious slaughter of meat without stunning. While kosher and halal meat is well labelled in specialist butchers and food outlets, the regulation would alert general consumers to supplies entering the mainstream food system.
EU member states will have to approve the legislation and it is likely to return to the European Parliament for a second reading. Once adopted, food business will have three years to adapt to the rules. Smaller operators, with fewer than 100 employees and an annual turnover under €5m (£4.2m), will have five years to comply.
Animal welfare groups welcomed the move. Dr Marc Cooper, a farm animal welfare scientist at the RSPCA, said: "Clear labelling is something we have been calling for, so that the welfare-conscious consumer can be informed about the method of slaughter. From a welfare point of view, it's an unnecessary practice. It causes pain and distress."
The British Veterinary Association (BVA) said: "The BVA believes that all animals should be effectively stunned before slaughter to improve the welfare of these animals at slaughter. However, as long as slaughter without stunning is permitted, the BVA has argued for any meat from this source to be clearly labelled to enable all consumers to fully understand the choice they are making."
Religious slaughter is banned in Switzerland, Sweden, Norway and Iceland. The UK has stopped keeping statistics, but Meat Hygiene Service figures from 2004 suggest that 114 million halal animals and 2.1 million kosher animals are killed annually.
One Muslim organisation, the Halal Food Authority, insists that slaughterhouses stun the animals to render them insensible to pain, but in other halal and almost all kosher slaughterhouses, animals bleed to death without stunning.
Religious groups say that doing so would be against their interpretation of religious texts, and they are exempted from the terms of the Welfare of Animals (Slaughter or Killing) Regulations 1995.
In a report last year, the Farm Animal Welfare Council said chicken and turkeys were likely to be conscious for up to 20 seconds after a transverse incision is made across their neck."Such a large cut will inevitably trigger sensory input to pain centres in the brain," the council said. "Such an injury would result in significant pain and distress before insensibility supervenes."
Professor Bill Reilly, president of the BVA, said: "This is a huge step forward in improving the welfare of animals at slaughter. The more consumers understand these issues, the more consumer power can make a difference."
Halal and kosher
*Each year more than £2bn is spent on Halal meat by British Muslims. The Arabic word means "lawful" or "permitted". The opposite of halal is haram. Meat can only be called Halal if the animal is blessed before it is slaughtered.
*Kosher slaughter is predicated on the principle of "tsa'ar ba'alei chayim" (not causing unnecessary suffering to animals). Historically, the kosher killing technique was one of the more humane methods available.
*Traditional halal meat is killed by hand and must be blessed by the slaughterman. More than 70 per cent of animals whose meat is sold as halal are electrically stunned before they are killed.
*Islam has strict laws on the proper method of slaughtering an animal. One, called dhabihah consists of a swift, deep incision with a sharp knife on the neck that cuts the jugular vein.
*Madonna and Jerry Hall are among celebrities who are reportedly fans of a strict orthodox Jewish diet, while a number of US clinics offer kosher diet therapy.
*KFC is among a growing number of fast-food retailers that have trialled Halal meat in communities where demand is strong. It has 85 stores with an all-halal menu.
*Up to three-quarters of poultry sold as halal in the UK is falsely labelled, a representative from the English Beef and Lamb Executive's halal steering group said. Most is slaughtered by a machine, not an individual."
In Rev Geraint Morse own words in welsh:
"Fel Cristion, dydw i ddim am fwyta cig sydd wedi ei baratoi o dan reolau Islamaidd, gyda gweddi Arabaidd, boed yn gig wedi ei brynu o'r archfarchnad neu ei fwyta allan mewn pryd bwyd.
Labeli clir
Gofyn am labeli clir ydw i er mwyn sicrhau bod pawb ohonom yn deall beth yr ydym yn ei fwyta. Os ydy'r label yn dweud "Halal", gall Mwslemiaid ei fwyta'n dawel eu cydwybod. Ond os nad yw'n dweud "Halal" gall eraill ohonom fwyta'n dawel ein cydwybod hefyd.
Does dim angen i chi dagu ar eich cig moch bore 'ma, oherwydd does dim y fath beth i gael a chig moch "Halal". Dydi Mwslemiaid ddim yn bwyta porc.
Ond beth am y frechdan cyw iâr ichi wedi paratoi ar gyfer amser cinio, neu'r cig oen ar gyfer swper heno?
Efallai'r peth gorau i'w wneud yw prynu cyw-iâr a chig oen Cymreig. Bydd hyn yn ateb y broblem - efallai!"
or in part translated
"As a Christian, I do not want to eat meat that has been prepared under Islamic rules, with an Arabic prayer, whether meat has been bought from the supermarket or eaten out in a meal. "

It's only been a few days since the Real Food Challenge kicked off, but we've all got some stories to tell about our experiences this week. Mr Chiots and I are pretty much eating real food all the time, so I was going to focus on our pets by using the 8 week plan in The Whole Pet Diet: Eight Weeks to Great Health for Dogs and Cats. I started the challenge on Sunday and mixed up the special oil blend that you're supposed to use during the first week. I didn't use soy oil or flaxseed oil, instead I used oils I have in the house, coconut oil, red palm oil, olive oil and fermented cod liver oil. You're supposed to mix garlic and rosemary in with the oil, which I did. The dog of course LOVES it as she will eat just about anything. The cats however, are going to be a real challenge, they did not like this oil on their food one bit. I did purchase a 5 gallon bucket of pastured beef tallow to use in place of this oil mix. I'll be adding it to the the homemade food, which I start making this week.
I do have a funny story regarding Real Food. Mr Chiots and I took his grandparents out for their 60th wedding anniversary. We let them choose the restaurant, and they chose the Golden Corral. There were so many different things to eat, but sadly not many of them would actually feed much less nourish your body. It was really sad. I ended up eating some fried clams, peas, and a baked sweet potato. Not bad choices, but none of them were organic, and I'm guessing the clams were fried in GMO vegetable oil and the peas were swimming in hydrogenated butter flavored weirdness. The baked sweet potato wasn't bad, but there was no butter in sight to put on it and it wasn't cooked quite right. At least his grandparents loved it, which was the whole point. We made sure to drink some dandelion detox tea that night to help our bodies process all that fake food.
Down here in Tennessee, I (Jennifer) have had my hands full with a very special visitor. My mother, otherwise known as Nana, has been visiting from NW Indiana. We're fortunate that Nana is a burgeoning Real Food consumer and isn't afraid to try new and healthful foods.
Because of our guest, we've been dining out and snacking more than usual. Our snacks have been simple, like homemade pita chips and humus, or a local cheese with some fruit. We've settled for a few minimally processed items like salad dressing, crackers, and cereal for convenience sake, but for now the sanity is worth it. Dining out hasn't been quite so healthful as homemade, but it hasn't been McDonald's nor Golden Corral ( haha, Susy! Glad Mr. Chiots' grandparents enjoyed themselves!). We've even been sampling some fabulous desserts that have been on my list for the last few months.
Most importantly, we've intentionally been using our slow-cooker or planning meals ahead of time to minimize preparation time after we're done playing and doing touristy things. Every little bit counts, and if you can make a double batch of dinner one evening for a busy day then making your own meals isn't that bad.
I (Xan) got the kids all lined up to start thinking about Real Food, and then Real Life got in the way and we had to reschedule for Monday. My son has to work, but my daughter's excited about learning to make a family favorite, pastitio, a Greek noodle casserole, which I learned to make from my mother and grandmother. The cookbook I inherited from them falls open to this page, which is stained with decades of this dish.
Cooking day is Monday, so you'll have to wait until next week to find out how we did.
How has your first week of the Real Food Challenge come along?

Yet one often stands out. For a couple of years, I was a ward mission leader just outside Washington, D.C. We lived in Prince Georges County in the wonderful College Park Ward. For those familiar with Washington, Prince Georges is, relatively speaking, the more diverse and also less wealthy of the counties in suburban Washington.
So, the variety of people I met was amazing. Several had emigrated from war-torn regions in Africa and came to America as refugees with horrible stories that really changed my life as I tried to listen and understand them.

Amazing things happen when you are helping those who are in need. Like, be close to a person when one needs moral support, or helping homeless with coins and money. It will definitely pay off, trust me. Never get afraid of encountering such issues. The cosmos sees that one person helps to support another life, living form, the alike creatures of cosmos. Then, it helps that person to succeed in whatever that person is accomplishing, eventually. The cosmos will support you back. You do not even got to have any doubts about it! One way or the other, the Cosmos will thank you. Good deed always finds its appreciation.
Helping people is a noble characteristics. People will never forget it. By practicing so you are making this world a better place. Since you are not in politics, you behave yourself in the matter of a reach. You are not in politics or any important positions so you can do your best out from your very position. Small things affect the big ones. By the little steps you are moving upwards. Not only you are moving upwards, you are making your dream come true. What else do you need?
Helping individuals resonates with your nature. You become more powerful, more significant in the others' sights. People start noticing you. They want integrate with you. That is a huge advantage that always pays off.

Welcome to the Electric Cloud Blog! My name is Eric Melski, and I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Electric Cloud (employee #1, by a whisker). I've worked on every component of ElectricAccelerator, and I'm now Technical Lead for the product. I'm also the guy behind ElectricInsight. In this and future posts, I will take you on deep technical dives into Accelerator and Insight, with a focus on performance, scalability and analysis.
Understanding the performance of parallel, distributed systems can be difficult. Fortunately, Accelerator provides a wealth of data to facilitate performance analysis. In this first continuation of my presentation at the 2008 Customer Summit, I'll show you how to collect agent performance metrics, and how you can use them to get a quick overview of the performance characteristics of your build.
Collecting Agent Metrics
Every agent in the cluster automatically tracks performance metrics for every build that it participates in, so you don't have to do anything special to enable them. All you need to do is download them from the agents after your build has finished. Note that by default, the agent keeps performance data for the previous 100 builds that it participated in, so you don't have to grab the metrics immediately after your build completes.
The easiest way to get the metrics from the cluster is via
cmtool --cm=... runAgentCmd "session performance buildId " > buildId. agentraw
This will write a dump of performance metrics from each agent that participated in the specified build to the file named buildId.agentraw. Next, you'll want to use the (unsupported)
agentsummary utility to produce an aggregate summary of the metrics across all agents:
tclsh agentsummary buildId.agentraw > buildId.agentsum
Now we have something that we can dig into.
Overall time usage
The first thing to look at in the agent performance metrics is the "Overall time usage" section. This divides the time used by the agents into several coarse-grained buckets:
Overall time usage:
Startup: 4.65s ( 0.0) 20 intvls, avg 232.5ms
Cmd setup: 253.15s ( 0.4) 42281 intvls, avg 6.0ms
Command: 36479.41s (61.7) 82823 intvls, avg 440.5ms
Emake request: 7732.26s (13.1) 763879 intvls, avg 10.1ms
A2A request: 1968.67s ( 3.3) 52112 intvls, avg 37.8ms
Command end: 448.59s ( 0.8) 82823 intvls, avg 5.4ms
Return: 4874.27s ( 8.2) 42281 intvls, avg 115.3ms
Idle: 6726.62s (11.4) 42261 intvls, avg 159.2ms
End: 671.13s ( 1.1)
These timers correspond to the following activities:
|Waiting for the first commands from emake after the connection is established.
|Cmd setup
|Preparing the execution context (environment, working directory, etc.) for a build command
|Ver updates
|Processing file version updates from emake
|Running build commands (compiles, links, etc)
|Emake request
|Waiting for emake to service a request for file data or metadata
|A2A request
|Waiting for file data transferred from other agents via P2P
|Command end
|Waiting for the instructions from emake after finishing execution of a build command.
|Reporting file usage to emake, including the contents of any files created
|Waiting for emake to provide more commands to run
|A special case of Idle time, this is the amount of time between the last build command and the end of the agent's participation in the build
For each timer, the metrics show:
- The total time spent in the timer across all agents;
- The portion of time spent in the timer as a percentage of the total time across all agents;
- The number of times the timer was active;
- The average amount of time the timer was active each time it was in use.
Note that not all timers are available in all versions of Accelerator.
Of these timers, Command is perhaps the most interesting, because it represents the actual work performed during your build. The other timers all correspond to inefficiency of some sort, whether due to the overhead introduced by running a distributed build across the network, or due to serializations in the architecture of the build itself.
One interesting factoid about the Command timer is that you can use its percentage to estimate the X factor, or speedup relative to a serial build. Simply multiply the Command percentage by the number of agents that participated in your build. For example, if the Command timer represents 65 of the total time, and your build used 8 agents, then the X factor is about 5.2x:
0.65 * 8 == 5.2x better than serial
Two caveats about this value: first, it's only an estimate. In my experience it seems to be reasonably accurate in the back-of-the-envelope sense, but it's by no means perfect. Second, it only really works if the agents are running on hardware comparable to the system you would have used for a serial build. If the agents are slower or faster than the baseline host, that will skew the number correspondingly.
Are my values "good"?
Of course the whole point of looking at these timers is to determine if your build is performing well, or if there is room for improvement. Therefore, we need to establish some guidelines for evaluating the values in these timers. To that end, here are some very rough guides:
|> 60
|50 – 60
|< 50
|Emake request
|< 10
|10 – 15
|> 15
|< 10
|10 – 20
|> 20
|< 10
|10 – 20
|> 20
Remember, Command time represents all the time spent doing the actual work in your build. Ideally, we'd like to see that at 100, but of course that target is unattainable — if nothing else, there is always overhead introduced simply because we have to move data across the network. Still, it's not uncommon to see builds with Command time representing 80 or more of the total time. Anything over 60 is pretty good, really. Less than 50 means there's probably room for improvement. That's not a guarantee that you can do better, of course. It may simply be the nature of the beast, or you may find that the cost of improving the performance outweighs the benefit. If you do see a low percentage for Command time, the thing to do is look at the other timers to determine where the time is going instead. That will in turn provide some guidance to the root cause of the problem.
For example, if the Emake request timer is high (greater than 15), that indicates a problem with the communication between emake and the agents. The things to check next in this case are:
- Network bandwidth between emake and the agents.
- System load on the emake host.
- Disk performance on the emake host.
- Number of agents participating in the build (too many agents can cause emake to thrash).
Another possibility is that the Idle and End timers are high (more than 20 combined). This usually indicates that your build has significant serializations, or that it had a large number of conflicts. Use ElectricInsight to investigate further.
Finally, if the Return timer is high (greater than 20), you'll want to check:
- Network bandwidth between emake and the agents.
- Disk performance on the emake host.
- Disk performance on the agent host.
It's important to note that in general, any one metric will not exactly pinpoint a specific problem; rather, each metric should be thought of as a diagnostic tracer. The more tracers you combine, the more precise your diagnosis will be.
Next time
There is lots of other interesting data in the agent performance metrics which you can use to further analyze build performance. In my next post, we'll look at the Usage records section.

The next time you consider possible spokespeople for a new
campaign, think about this cautionary tale from Colombia:
Ad execs wanting to hype a new Renault sedan created a rich US bachelor
named Bob Harris to delight hordes of Colombian women (and a few
Seems 'Bob,' a blond, tanned executive who raced cars, was seeking a
Colombian bride to share his lonely Virginia mansion. He got 6,000
e-mails and Web page hits, and 30,000 calls to his toll-free number.
But 'Bob,' a Pisces who claimed to be 'solvent, faithful, sincere and
romantic,' a lover of merengue and salsa dancing and friends with his
brother, Alex, a Mormon missionary, is sadly unavailable. The Lowe &
Partners ad agency in Bogota admitted the dreamy American is actually a
British oil worker trying out an acting career.
The consolation prize to one of the thousands of heartbroken women who
wanted to marry the motor pitchman will be a new Renault. Hey, better
than the consolation for most failed relationships - some bad CDs, a
bottle of cheap chardonnay and a pint of Ben & Jerry's.

Eternal life is such a dream. The concept of living to see each advancement of human society has splintered into the literature and folklore in a lot of different methods. Vampire is probably the most beloved and the most appealing. Vampires exist in the folklore of every society. For those who are loving vampires, here is the list of vampire movies on Netflix for you.
The first recommended vampire movie on Netflix is Fright Night. It is a 1985 movie. this one is known as the gleeful connector between the cinema of voyeurism and the teen comedy which consistently pitted the less well-known boys and girls against their accomplished counterparts. The features of Fright Night have delightfully hammy performance from an actor who kills vampires on TV called Robby McDowall. It is also sought by the teens such as William Ragsdale, Amanda Bearse and Stephen Geoffreys to vanquish the suave vampire (played by Chris Sarandon) who lives the next door. He is taunting them by having the new female or victim over every night.
The second one is entitled Night Watch. Do you know Sergei Laukyanenko? You might not know him and never heard about him but this Kazakhstan man is one of the major authors in the realms of Russian science fiction and fantasy literature. His best one is the 1998 novel called Night Watch. This one inspired five sequels and this movie. directed by Timur Bekmambetov in the year of 2004, Night Watch is about the secret world existing in the shadows of the own. It is where the centuries old battle between the good and the evil has settled into the stalemate of sorts. This time, the opposite powers from Night Watch and Day Watch take care of both the bright and the twilight hours. They need to make sure that there is no side which more powerful than another one. however, that status quo is threatened by the young boy whom prophecy suggests could shift the balance of the power in the favor of the darkness or the light.
The third vampire movie on Netflix that you have to watch is Let the Right One In. It is about the one named Oskar who is a quiet lad living the early 80's Stockholm. He is living with his mother. In the movie, Oskar collects the newspaper clippings. Those newspaper clippings are about the horrible murders. He also keeps the knife under his bed that makes him looked weird. In the class, this kid is bullied by the other kids, drawn by the irresistible scents of someone who does not fit in. One day, Oskar meets Eli, the new girl next door. Finally, he discovers the kindred spirit, another outsider who does not seem to vibrate at the same frequency as the rest people in the whole world. eventually, he discovers that Eli has both the terrible secret and the very particular set pf dietary requirements, and the series of nearby murders soon threaten to throw the secrets of hers into the searing light of day.

According to the American Cancer Society, about 30,000 new cases of mouth cancer will be diagnosed this year, and more than 8,000 people will die from it. Mouth cancer ranks as the sixth most common form of cancer that can affect any part of the mouth or lips. When detected early, the chances for successful treatment are enhanced. If left untreated, it can spread, leading to chronic pain, facial and oral disfigurement, loss of function, and even death. As a result, early detection and diagnosis of mouth cancer is vital.
Smoking and chewing tobacco significantly increase your risk. The carcinogens in tobacco, alcohol, and certain foods are leading risk factors. In fact, if both tobacco and alcohol products are used, one is 15 times at greater risk for developing mouth cancer. Exposure to sun also is linked to mouth cancer. Age, gender, and genetics are factors, too. About 95% of all mouth cancers are diagnosed in people 45 years or older. Men are twice as likely to develop mouth cancer as women.
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact your dentist immediately for a thorough screening:
Following good oral hygiene practices, eliminating risk factors such as tobacco and alcohol, and scheduling regular dental exams are important to maintaining good oral health. Research also has demonstrated that eating plenty of fruits and vegetables every day is a positive practice.
Dentists screen for mouth cancer during regular routine check-ups. They feel for lumps, tissue changes in your neck, cheeks, head, and mouth and look closely for sores. Early detection of cancer and prompt treatment is critical. Ask your dentist for more information about preventing mouth cancer.

When women enter menopause, changing hormone levels bring about a variety of symptoms and raise new oral health issues. Women and their doctors must consider the entire range of physical and emotional health implications, including their oral health.
As natural levels of estrogen decline, women may find themselves at risk for loss of bone density. Jawbones are no different; these structures hold our teeth in place, and loss of jawbone density can lead to tooth loss.
When women lose teeth, there are other immediate considerations. One is the potential loss of nutrition, as people with fewer teeth or with problem teeth tend not to eat well. Second is the loss of confidence or self-esteem that results from any cosmetic changes to our bodies. And third, the financial cost of replacing one or more teeth can stretch even the best-planned budget.
Hormonal changes also can have an impact on the health of gums and teeth. Women may find that their gums become inflamed and bleed easily, and may discover that their teeth are more cavity-prone. Both gum disease and tooth decay can result in losing teeth, another good reason to consider your oral health during this significant time of your life.
Women may notice a burning sensation or dryness in their mouths. They also may discover that these changes cause food to taste different, leading to a loss of appetite. Be alert to an appetite loss that persists, particularly if you begin to lose weight.
If gums become inflamed or bleed easily, alert your dentist who will check for early signs of gum disease. A receding gum line may indicate bone loss in your jaw, so ask your dentist to examine your mouth and jaw carefully.
Both you and your doctor should discuss prevention techniques, including calcium and vitamin D supplements, and replacement therapy for hormones. These are personal decisions that vary from woman to woman, and your doctor is best equipped to advise you.
What you can do is pay attention to your nutritional needs. Make sure you eat a wide assortment of healthy foods. Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Exercise also is important to maintain your oral health and a healthy lifestyle.
Finally, keeping tabs on your emotional health as you enter menopause is important. A healthy outlook on life enables women to value themselves and seek the care required including: maintaining good oral health, seeing the doctor and dentist regularly, and focusing on healthy eating and exercise.

Google just announced plans to offer wireless service. What might this mean for AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile? How would you respond if one of your suppliers announced they are going "upstream" and will now offer the exact same product or service you offer?
I was amused when I read about this announcement, including the quotes provided by Google, and the reporter's assessment, so I thought this might be a good topic to explore in greater depth.

Future changes to ESET Endpoint programs
JAF1979 replied to Aryeh Goretsky's topic in ESET Endpoint ProductsDescription: The ability to customize notification messages to sites that have been blocked/filtered through ERA policy. Detail: Currently, when an employee is prevented from accessing a site that fits a certain category, for example "Gambling", they see a notice that the site was blocked because it fit the "Gambling" category. It would be great if we, the IT Admins, were able to customize the warning message that the end user sees. For instance, we could customize the message to "Notify the user that the site they are accessing violates XYZ policy, etc. And to contact the Help Desk should they require further assistance."

Future changes to ESET Endpoint programs
JAF1979 replied to Aryeh Goretsky's topic in ESET Endpoint ProductsI am a former Symantec Endpoint user. I switched the whole organization over to ESET Endpoint Security because it was a far better product. But as with all comparable software, there is always something that the other guy has that you wish you had. Description: Ability to quickly verify that ESET client is reporting back to ERA server. Detail: With Symantec, the system tray icon is a gold shield that would display a GREEN dot whenever it was reporting to the main server. The green dot would be missing if it was not reporting to the main server. Which was a great visual aid for our end-users to see if their system is checking-in to receive the latest policy updates and definitions. It would be a great feature add-on for ESET to have a similar display icon that visually indicates that the client is checking-in with the ERA server. Perhaps have the "eset-eye" turn a different color when it is connected to the ERA server. See examples below: Green = Normal, up to date, checked-in to ERA server Blue = Normal and up to date, not reporting to ERA server Red = Problem!! Needs attention!
JAF1979 started following ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
Description: Application Blocking - Ability to BLOCK certain applications from running or even being installed. Detail: It would be great if ESET could implement a way to block certain applications from running or even being installed. By using the ERA, an Administrator could create a policy that would BLACKLIST (or WHITELIST) certain applications from being installed, launching and/or running as a service. Symantec Endpoint Protection has this feature and it allows you to block an application from running either by it's application fingerprint or executable name. With the development of certain applications, such as Dropbox, Chrome, Spotify, etc., that have the ability of being installed under a Standard user's profile which circumvents the need to be an Administrator to install an application, it is becoming more and more difficult for IT administrators to block these type of "rogue" apps from being installed on a computer by standard users. Most of these apps use common ports for outbound and inbound communication so they are not easily blocked using firewall settings. Hope to see this feature implemented SOON!!
