If you start in the late winter you will get blooms the first Fall. 20 seeds Learn More$1.75

I'm shaving my head.
(trying desperately not to freak out too much at the thought)
I'm shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research.
My friend's son Sam died in December and his death has left me absolutely heartbroken and helpless. I've lost so very many family members to cancer including some who were young, but never a child. I first became friends with Sam's mom when our boys were pre-schoolers. Sammy and my son were the same age. Sam was exactly one month and one day older than my son. I thought cancer was hell before, but the idea of a world without Sam because cancer took him away is unthinkable.
I want to do something, but I'm too far away to help his family directly.
I've wavered about shaving my head for St. Baldricks ever since Sam died.
Just when I decided not to for petty reasons (I'm already incredibly insecure about my appearance right now and I didn't think I could handle how I'd look bald), Mary Kate tweeted about wanting lilac hair. When others tweeted back urging her to just go ahead and dye it, she explained that, given her career, she wasn't really able to do that unless it was for work-related reasons. That made me stop and think. I never thought about it that way. I have the freedom to shave my hair, so why not? A friend pointed out, "Hair grows back. Children don't."
Some time in the next month or so (the date's not set in stone), I'll (deep calming breath) shave my head to raise money for St. Baldricks.
I asked the kids how they felt about it. My daughters think it's great. My son wanted to get in on it too.
And so, when I shave my head, he'll do the same. He's raising money as well (actually, he's currently beating me because his big sisters both insisted on donating to him).
My husband offered to shave his head with us, but he already has to keep it short for work, so you won't even notice a difference. Still, the solidarity is appreciated.
If you would be so kind, please share this. I suspect our goals are too ambitious and I don't know that we'll make them, but I want to try.
Thanks in advanced.

Chickpea, yogurt and egg as one delicious breakfast
November 13, 2013
Time passes by, I keep forgetting about it, but it doesn't make it stop. In 2006 I married Mr T - it was a good year that has totally changed my life. In 2007 I left Poland. Since then we were living in 7 different countries and visited many more. For the past few weeks we're living in a small 6th floor apartment with no lift in Barcelona. This is also a place where Ryszard met his new life partner Lola (but not a love of his life as I'll always be the one). We enjoy a beautiful warm weather and the city. But during the weekend we rent a car and made a three day road trip. It helped me remember how much I love my life. Of course I miss my wooden table, kitchen, cups and blender in Berlin. I also miss my race bike and what I'd love to call "my city" - I am not sure if I am allowed to call it so after only 1,5 years in Berlin. But I also love changes, living in different countries, new experiences, people that we meet on our path and the way that all of this helped me to enjoy a good cup of coffee. I love to be on the road, to see sunset, to wake up early to welcome sun rise and to do it with Mr T.
We came back home and discovered that Lola doesn't like her food, as her two bowls were full and Ryszard's totally empty. The next day we got up, had a nice breakfast on our terrace, enjoyed a morning coffee and came back to our reality. And for now I love each bit of it.
You will need:
- 1/2 cup chickpea
- 1/2 cup thick yogurt (like greek one)
- zest of 1/2 lemon
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (or a big pinch)
- salt and pepper for taste
- few fresh basil leaves, chopped
- poached egg
This recipe is super easy. The only thing that will take time is preparing a poached egg. You can check over here how to make it easier.
Place chickpea in a bowl or a glass, cover with a mix of yogurt, lemon zest, cayenne pepper and basil, then put a poached egg on top and season with salt and pepper for taste. Remember to go dip with a spoon, so you will get each ingredient on a spoon :)
Enjoy, Marta

I'm unwittingly brilliant, on occasion.
I've successfully worked it out with my mom so that if I can raise the money to go to the Night of Writing Dangerously, she'll let me miss school to go. So I just need a little help, even a dollar or two will mean a lot to me.
I'll draw something for you, write something for you, ANYTHING you want if you donate anything. It's for a really great cause, for a non-profit organization, and it'll be the best night of my life. I'd really, really appreciate it.

*cough* okay, I just realized how horrible that sounded. Let me rephrase.
I just read a comment on Part 22 of my NaNoWriMo novel (linky link http://larkspur-kiwipickle.deviantart.com/art/Higher-Education-part-22-255752214 ) that I actually made someone cry with the death of a character.
That just makes me feel amazing as an author.
Internet, I love you.
Yes, I'm doing it. Why? Because honestly, there have been many times this year that I've just been sitting there longing for November to come again. It was amazing last time, and I hope it will be just as amazing in July.
And yes, this means I'll be postponing any work on the story I've been posting here at least until the end of the month. I'm sorry. ><;
Anyway. If you want to read the novel I wrote last November called Higher Education, a link is here:
Description (that always ends up being way too long ><): By many people's definition, the Apocalypse happened. Countries were destroyed or cut themselves off from the rest of the world. Out of the ashes of the United States of America, however, rises a new country, unnamed, powerful, and extremely wary of the outside world.
Annie is sick of this protected, knowledgeable, and oppressive world, however, and is determined to find an escape. Outside the world is different than anyone has believed it to be in centuries, and it's wonderful…but if she knows how to get out and into the country, its security is threatened, and any threat to security must be exterminated…
My NaNoWriMo account is here: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/663428 in case you guys want to add me as a writing buddy~
If anyone's interested, the novel I'll start on Friday will be called Heat Seekers. It's about a woman named Helena who's an anti-vampire activist, but when her life is saved by a vampire and his wife, she starts to change her opinions. As a thank you, she agrees to bear the couple's child, because vampires have to use human surrogates if they want to have one. This causes trouble not only with the group Helena practically lead against the vampire race, but with the powerful gang whom she was saved from.
I'll probably post it on dA after I finish posting Higher Education, or here after I finish Jack and Win's story. Whichever happens first.
Wish me luck~
…I'm just saying that NaNoWriMo updates are back on track. :3 I finally got to a place I could reach the full document and emailed it to myself, and have updated part 8.
…it's going to take forever to finish uploading this OTL
Little spoilers for my NaNoWriMo novel guys, yeah the poses suck and stuff but whatever.

Riot's hugely popular game League of Legends is still installing malware, some five months after saying they don't use it, players can delete it, and they planned to remove it.
The malware in question is Pando Media Booster. A few years ago this software was arguably useful, it allowed games like LoL to distribute patches via a peer-to-peer network. But Pando was discontinued in August 2013. Then in February 2014 someone used Pando to install malware on any suckers who still had the software. The software Riot is still distributing. And all of Riot's customers who clicked "yes" on the update dialog had their browsers hijacked.
Riot has millions of users all over the world. I'm sympathetic to how hard it is to make software changes; they're famously behind on a whole lot of development projects. But continuing to distribute malware to customers is unacceptable.
Update: a Riot employee said on Reddit that the problem was "the amount of work it takes to hand update new installers for every language" and offered the idea that the previous Pando owners might help them prevent the malware. That was five months ago.
My tweet last night "Node.js is the MongoDB of programming languages" got enough response I feel I need to explain it a bit. It's an awfully snarky thing to say, but it has some truth.
MongoDB used to be the cool kids' database. It's appealing when you start using it: good docs, easy to get going, a plausible story on performance. NoSQL is exciting and MongoDB is an easy NoSQL system to try. But then people started looking closer and finding all the ways it broke and now MongoDB is out of favor, at least for serious production servers.
Node.js is now the cool kids programming language. It's appealing; good docs, clean slate of libraries and tools, fast VM, and a plausible attempt at server performance. Non-blocking systems are exciting and Javascript closures make continuation programming easy. But now people are looking closer and finding all the ways Node.js is awkward or brittle and one starts to wonder.
I'm not saying Node.js is bad. There's a lot of good in it, I particularly like that it's made non-blocking programming more accessible than Python or Java or Nginx has. Mostly I'm just mocking the fashion of the month. It is a shame that people are rushing to this Brand New Thing without knowing the history and potential pitfalls. Just like we learned with MongoDB that ACID is hard, Node users are now discovering that reasoning about continuations is hard and memory management with closures is tricky, not to mention unwinding the stack on errors. The Node community is hard at work on improving things, hopefully that development process will lead somewhere productive.
For a more hilarious view on MongoDB and Node.js see Mongo DB Is Web Scale and Node.js is Bad Ass Rock Star Tech.
I had no idea Microsoft's Bing Ads included an option to import from Google AdWords. Complete with simple OAuth-like authentication and seamless data import. It's been able to do that for at least a couple of years, I only learned about it today when setting up a Bing campaign.
Warms my heart to think my AdWords API project helped enable some data portability for Google customers. That's essential to having a competitive market. Google AdWords is nearly a monopoly, so much so I'm surprised there's not more anti-trust interest in Google's ad business. Allowing customers to bring their data to competitors is a valuable step in staying honest and legal.
The drawback is Bing's ads have to mirror Google's crazily complex data model. (Quick, what's an AdGroup, and how is it different from a Campaign or a Creative?) I also recently set up my first AdWords campaign in years and the frontend product is really complicated and confusing. It's been nearly ten years since I worked on the AdWords advertiser UI, I was sad to see that it hadn't gotten any simpler or clearer for advertisers.
There's a new history of Perl making the rounds now that's worth reading, if nothing else then for the dissonance of reading a whole thing written about Perl in the past tense. It reminded me of a bet my friend Marc and I made back in 1999 or so.
Marc and Nelson will agree that Python has more mindshare than Perl on May 1, 2004. If so, Nelson gets the contents of this envelope. If not, Marc does.
In 2004 I conceded he won the bet, based on this evidence of Google search result counts:
Perl: 28M. Python: 14M
I don't think anyone would argue that Perl is still more popular than Python in 2014. I looked at those measures again today, but given how goofy Google's results count can be I don't put too much stock in this:
Perl: 28M. Python: 45M
I wish I'd taken up his 2004 follow-on bet: Groovy vs Python. Oops. Meanwhile we both missed the language right under our noses, Javascript. Mostly I'm just grateful Java is on the way out. If it weren't for all the work put into JVM efficiency I think it'd be entirely dead now.
Interesting report of stolen Bitcoins, a phishing scam involving a Google ad. I just confirmed that the phishing ad is still running on Google on a search for blockchain.
The ad says the URL goes to blockchain.info. The URL displayed on mouseover on the link is to a Google redirector, goo.gl/vL2zmr. But when you click the link you go through a few redirectors and end up at blockchain-info.consulpisos.com, which is allegedly a phishing site. It sure looks suspicious; that page goes straight to a "type in your password" page, which the real site hides behind several clicks.
I don't much care about the Bitcoin part of this, but Google should really not be selling ads with fake URLs on display.
There are two terrible web properties out there that everyone hates, Scribd and Quora. Please don't use them. Instead of Scribd just host a PDF anywhere, or upload text to pastebin or make a nice blog on WordPress or Medium or something. And instead of Quora use Ask MetaFilter or StackExchange.
Quora's business model is to trick people into sharing information for free, then put it behind a login. It's like Experts Exchange 2.0! For instance, on Quora you can read Who owns the copyright on content contributed to Quora? Only you can't just read the text. Depending on your history with the site and the way you got there you may see a giant popup demanding you log in obscuring the page, or the first answer clear and then the rest blurred, or if you're lucky just the page. It appears nondeterministic.
Both businesses are deliberately trying to lock up text content to make it harder to access, to force users to pay or share advertising data or some such bullshit. The part that kills me is some engineer actually wrote code to deliberately break document sharing on the web. It's terrible.
Update: the Quora CEO responded on Hacker News to correct me that Quora neither runs ads nor charges users. At the moment, they apparently have no revenue.
Screenflick is good software. It captures full video with sound from your Mac desktop, full screen or a portion. I'm using it to record games I play. Could have all sorts of applications.
There's a variety of screen capture options on the Mac from the free recorder included in Quicktime to the market leader ScreenFlow for $99. Screenflick's only $29 and is very good at capture, including keystrokes, mouse events, and audio via Soundflower. I also appreciate its ability to downsample the raw video when recording. It also has an impressive variety of export options.
The big drawback is that Screenflick has no editor, not even a simple interface for cropping out sections of video. My theory is that's what iMovie is for. But folks I know who produce a lot of screencasts appreciate that ScreenFlow is an integrated solution.
I continue to maintain my linkblog; here's how it works these days. It's all managed via a Pinboard account. Every time I see something I want to linkblog, I add it as an URL to Pinboard with a browser extension. My Pinboard page is the web view of my linkblog. Pinboard also publishes an RSS feed for my followers. I also use dlvr.it to automatically tweet my links to a Twitter account.
The Twitter account has been very successful for me, it's a natural form of engagement for the short form. (The follower number is hugely inflated because it was a featured account for a couple of hours a long time back.) The Pinboard extension is great because it makes it very easy to linkblog any URL I'm looking at. I also like that Pinboard archives the full text of pages I link ($25/year); I often find myself searching my own linkblog. The one drawback to my setup is the web view is ugly. That's kind of purpose, I expect people to mostly follow via RSS or Twitter. But I may yet use IFTTT or the like to set up a Tumblr for a nicer web view.
Adapted from A MetaFilter comment
Seven years ago I wrote about XML security problems, the XXE vulnerability. This flaw is the gift that keeps on giving: someone exploited Google with it this month.
XML is a ridiculously complicated data format. And XML parsers implement all the features, including the obviously dangerous and useless ones. And engineers keep forgetting to turn those features off. It's just terrible.
Unison is good software. It's a command line program to synchronize filesystems, to keep a directory tree identical on multiple computers. I use it to sync about 40G of files across two Macs, to keep my home directory and source code and various applications in sync. The neat trick is I sync those two Macs through a portable hard drive so I don't have to wait for hours for files to go over the Internet. Unison can also work online so changes are propagated automatically.
Unison is a lot like rsync. But Unison is designed to be bidirectional. Rsync always syncs one way: copy A to B. Unison will look at the differences between A and B and merge them, including a limited UI for conflict resolution. This protects me from the case where I modify something on both machines without syncing beforehand.
The main drawback with Unison is it's slow, it takes many minutes to decide what files to sync. I also hate the interactive UI; it doesn't work well when you have lots of files that changed in both places. I'm also a bit concerned that it's no longer under active development but Unison is the rare software that's a complete product, it's not clear it needs many changes.
There are other tools solving similar file sync problems, none perfect. Dropbox is phenomenal but doesn't have offline syncing of large files. Camlistore is promising but not quite ready for civilian use. git can be used to keep stuff in sync but is better suited for text files whose history you want to keepl. And CrashPlan is great for online backup but doesn't really provide a second live copy.

Rick Barnes might have been fighting for his job at the beginning of the season. Yesterday, he was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year after leading Texas to a 22-9 record with 11 conference wins.
According to Mike DeCourcy of Sporting News, the media thought Barnes was doomed in November before the team even played a game. The coach never worried, though.
You might recall that in the autumn, having missed just one NCAA Tournament in his 15 seasons as Texas head coach, Barnes was having to cope with questions about his job security in public interactions with members of the media.
Asked in one such November forum whether he was worried about keeping his job, he responded, "I don't want to disappoint you, but I'm not."
The Longhorns finished the 2012-13 campaign with 14-18 record and 7 conference wins. During the offseason, five players left the school. Sheldon McClellan, Julien Lewis and Jalen Boyd all transferred. Myck Kabongo entered the NBA Draft and Ioannis Papapretrou signed with professional team in Greece. Due to the defections, the team was picked to finish eighth in the Big 12 preseason poll.
Instead of being one of the conference's worst teams, Barnes' group battled to be one of the conference's best. With junior Jonathan Holmes as the team's only upperclassman, the young Horns stunned the country with their surprising turnaround.
Holmes (13.0 ppg, 7.3) played terrific all season and made the All-Big 12 Second Team. Freshman Isaiah Taylor landed on the All-Big 12 Newcomer Team after averaging 12.6 points per game. Along with Taylor, sophomores Cameron Ridley (11.5 ppg, 2.2 bpg) and Javan Felix (12.0 ppg) were selected to the Honorable Mention list. Not even Barnes could have predicted this much recognition for these players' performances.
Texas earned the third seed in the upcoming Big 12 Tournament and will play West Virginia on Thursday night at 8:30 Pm CST in Kansas City. Regardless of what happens the rest of the season, Barnes will certainly be back in Austin next year. His ability to guide this inexperienced squad might be his best coaching job yet.
Most experts probably won't pick the Longhorns to go far in this year's tournament. Then again, most experts probably didn't pick them to finish third in the Big 12 either right?

PEAK LANDFILL: Why tablet gloom is good news for Windows users
Re: Environmentalism
I´ve never had the pleasure of doing anything with Windows 8, but I do think that three hours sounds a bit of a pain. Re-installing (or upgrading) my OS of choice takes maybe 20-30 minutes max.
Thank you Linus et al, :-)

Chromebooks to break out of US schools: Netbook 2.0 comeback not just for children
Re: There do seem to be a lot of Chromebook haters on here...
I agree that my chromebook _does_ do most of what I want, but when I want more I just 'Shift'+'Ctrl'+'Alt'+-> to Crouton (Ubuntu 14.04) and now I have LibreOffice,Gimp,Thunderbird....
And when I want Youtube (etc) I just 'Shift'+'Ctrl'+'Alt'+<- and back to Chrome.
Simps. :-)
Chrome Remote Desktop adds Linux to supported OS list
Re: Am I missing the point here?
[To A/C] > Your choice: stay safer, with privacy, or join the brave new world and....
Yes, consider these things and rightly so, but as I am using VNC with my Raspberry Pi (pw default 'raspberry') to photograph Swallows nesting in my garage I won't be too paranoid about Google/GCHQ et al seeing what I'm up to. They are hardly weird selfies after all ;-)
Am I missing the point here?
I have been driving my remote Debian based machines (RasberryPi-headless, Xubuntu, etc) using TiightVNC server and VNC viewer (from Chrome app store) for a while now.
Using an old single-core Athlon based PC (c.10yrs old) the desktop runs beautifully on my HP Chrome book, LibreOffice/ Gimp etc - and the GUI often runs faster over VNC than it does on the host machine due to better graphics on the Chromebook, I guess.
Anyway, I'm pleased to see even more options and flexibility for the Linux desktop - and to paraphrase Mark Twain - "The reports of [the Linux desktop's] death are greatly exaggerated."

I haven't - it's rock solid on my PCs (two or three). The 14.04 daily I'm running on an MSI Windbox is also rock solid already - but then maybe I just use them for mainstream WP / web / streaming media etc - nothing too extreme. Anyway, I'm happy :-)
Elderly Bletchley Park volunteer sacked for showing Colossus exhibit to visitors
So Sad
I have visited Bletchly twice in the past and found the visits very interesting and evocative of a time that I heard my parents talking about. I was recently asked by a neighbour whether I recommended Bletchley. as a day out? (it is a 400 mile round trip for us.) I was minded to yes, and "can I come too" - but given the bad blood and the seemingly poor value judgements regarding removing valid existing displays (Churchill out, McAfee in), my answer to my neighbour will be, No - and I'm not bothered to come too if you do go.
HP Chromebook 11 quietly slips back on Google Play shelves... but where's the FIRE?
I agree wholeheartedly about putting Ubuntu on it! I used the 'How to' below on my HP11 and it worked straight out of the box - brilliant!
One thing, I did initially install Ubuntu 13.10 (as per my day-to-day desktop, which I like), but I found the screen sluggish - much slower that the native ChromeOS, so I re-installed with Lubuntu 13.10 and its light weight desktop and it flys. I love it, 6-7hrs battery life, 100% stable and with LibreOffice, Gimp, Thunderbird, UbuntuOne etc it's all good.

Re: I got mine last Christmas @Colonel
I don't disagree with what you are saying, printing is important, and your view "Unless the.... is only a couple of clicks away and doesn't require any technical skills, printing is a big problem because the majority of people do have a problem setting up such complex systems." is certainly valid for many people. My only worry is that you may deter those with some limited technical skills to try the solution I went for. I am not clever enough to write the code and do geeky stuff myself, but I did give the "How to..." a go and followed the very clear step-by-step guide here:
and it worked straight out of the box :-) [the small script just downloads and installs everything automatically - takes ages but I cooked the supper while it was doing it].
There is a choice of 'flavours' of Linux (Ubuntu) and most of the software I mentioned is installed automatically. Installing additional packages from the on-line 'App store' is easier than most Windows installs I have done in the past, so give it a go! And a big 'thank you' to How-to Geek and those that made it possible!
Re: I got mine last Christmas
I too might be in or around the 'senior' end of the spectrum, and I'm sure we all have different printing needs, but for me printing is no problem. Running Crouton/Ubuntu 13.10 and installing UbuntuOne cloud storage (along with Libre Office, Gimp, Firefox, Thunderbird etc) I just drop a copy of what I need to print into my UbuntuOne folder and then use my aging Desktop to print.....
I don't need to print much and I don't usually carry around design documents for nuclear submarines, so it all just works fine for me.

A big "Thankyou" to the developer(s) of the Crouton script that I used to install my usual full-fat office apps, but most people I see wandering about dazed and confused in our local 'PC' supermart don't want to (or can't) get to grips with scarey 'developer mode' trickery so their only options are Win8 horribleness, or Mac priceness if they want to run 'real' applications. Surely there is an marketing opportunity here?

20 years ago Nas released his legendary Illmatic album and DJ Moneyshot has put together an outstanding tribute mix 'Nas - Half-Man Half-Amazing'. As with the previous tribute mixes for the Beastie Boys, De La Soul and Public Enemy, it's more an audio documentary threading together sample sources, interview footage and remixes alongside the original Illmatic tracks.
Hear the vocabulary, the flow and the rhythm expertly delivered by Nas, backed up by the sublime production of Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Large Professor and Q-Tip, plus original samples from Lee Erwin, The Heath Brothers, Ahmad Jamal and Reuben Wilson. All this deconstructed and rebuilt by Moneyshot for another classic Solid Steel edition.
In Hour 2 we welcome Trus'me to Solid Steel with a perfect selection to follow the sample laden first hour. The Prime Numbers label owner delves deep as part of a series of mixes. Here in his own words;
"So as I travel around the world I always take advantage of playing any beach bar I possibly can. The 'Different Oceans' mix series gives me the excuse to search and find the records I truly desire. This particular recording was taken from my time in Byron Bay on the East Coast of Australia earlier this year. I hope this selection Inspires you to visit there someday.
This is a selection of recordings from various beaches I've had the privilege to play at and fallen in love with. All available to download so you can enjoy the same music I did under that Vitamin D we call Sun." You can catch more in this series.

Global Climate Change
The Science, Economics and Politics
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreGlobal climate change cannot be understood without knowing the fundamental principles of science, economics and politics that condition our policy choices. To that end, the contributors to this volume, experts in their respective fields, take a comprehensive look at the major issues involved. This volume is written for policymakers and informed citizenry who want to understand at a general level the complexities of global climate change without becoming enmeshed in technical minutia. The introduction emphasizes the core fact that climate change issues cut across disciplines. William Schlesinger and Gerald North explain the carbon cycle and how increased greenhouse gases impact temperature. The economics papers deal with the applicability of benefit/cost analysis and then proceed to examine the benefits of avoiding temperature change versus the costs of the various CO2 abatement options. Finally, David Victor, a Stanford political scientist, asks which policies are feasible in a world where the incentives differ dramatically among countries. The book closes with open letters to the President of the United States. less

I was happier than a pig in mud, when I found out Matt Wieters and Nick Markakis both won Gold Gloves. Both of the players are winning the first gold glove of their careers.
Markakis winning a gold glove was long overdue. We can finally say 2110 Eutaw street is paved with gold. Think about all the great catches he has made in right field and we all know he has the best arm when it comes to outfield assists or keeping runners from advancing.
Take a look at what Matt Wieters did this year, three words ring true… DON"T. RUN. EVER. It's awesome to watch him work behind the plate. He was phenomenal throwing out runners and I loved watching him call a game with a sub par pitching staff. So intelligent for being this young.

The Hook Up: 3-16-2011
Femme: A feminine-appearing queer lady. Often found in line for the bathroom with four of her closest friends, drinking Miller Lite (so few calories!), wearing tapered pants, skirts, heeled footwear, or tight-fitting shirts. Femmes spend their time trying to seem as gay as possible so nearby butches will not mistake them for straight.
Friendcest: The not-altogether-queer-but-still-rampant phenomenon of sleeping with several people in your immediate circle of friends, their exes, their exes' best friends, and half the people at the gay Starbucks you frequent. This always works out well, obviously.
FTM: A female-to-male trans person.
Gayborhood: Enclaves usually in larger cities, where queers tend to live and/or congregate. Examples include: Andersonville in Chicago, Park Slope in Brooklyn, Capitol Hill in Seattle, Decatur, Georgia, Provincetown, Mass., The Castro in San Francisco, etc. You'll know them because of the inordinate amount of rainbow flags adorning windows, doorways, and patios. There will probably be a co-op of some kind, a feminist bookstore, a sex toy shop, and lots of Subarus adorned with "Coexist" bumper stickers.
Goddess: The preferred deity of Gen X lesbians. Often used in an attempt to smash the patriarchal, colloquial use of God-as-man imagery. As in, "Are these vegan muffins gluten-free? Thank Goddess!"
Gold Star: A lesbian who has never had sexual relations with a man.
Hasbian: A lesbian who goes straight after many years and many Michican Womyn's Music Festivals, often surprising a great deal of her friends, and ruining several book clubs.
Heteroflexible: A mostly straight bisexual, who sometimes dips her diamonds in the rough from time to time.
Intersex: According to the Intersex Society of North America, "A person born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male." Sometimes referenced at potlucks by people who want to brag about reading Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex.
Lesbro: A straight man who gets along really well with lesbians and often joins their entourages. The classier version, according to a friend, is Lesbeau.
LGBTQQI: The queer community's attempt to be as inclusive as possible. Will probably have several letters added to this by 2012. For the time, it stands for: Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer, Questioning (as in, you're not sure, but you might be gay), and Intersex.
Lipstick Lesbian: Or High Femme. A really femmey woman.
LUG (Lesbian Until Graduation): A woman who is queer as all get out in college, wears Bikini Kill shirts.

You had a feeling that this would happen and now it did. As noted earlier on the site, MVP, suffered a knee injury while doing a dour in Great Britain for Preston City Wrestling. He got injured when he was in a brawl outside the ring during a tag match and was limping badly after.
MVP was scheduled to wrestle at a PCW event in Lancashire, England, later Saturday, but the promotion, came out in the opening part of the show to announce he wouldn't be wrestling due to the injury and was on crutches.
MVP stated that x-rays didn't reveal the cause of the issue and he would be undergoing an MRI.
MVP did go onto to work for Dutch Pro Wrestling on Sunday. He appeared as their general manager as he was unable to wrestle. MVP was on crutches and appeared not to be able to put any weight on his knee.
MVP is set to challenge Eric Young in the main event of the 6/15 TNA Slammiversary PPV for the World Title.
Update: TNA executive John Gaburick announced via Twitter that MVP is out of Sunday's Slammiversary main event. He also noted that a replacement would be announced later today.
#Breaking @The305MVP suffered a torn meniscus during his last match. This morning, doctors deemed him unable to compete this Sunday!
— John Gaburick (@JohnGaburick) June 13, 2014
A fair replacement main event for #Slammiversary will be announced later today. More details ASAP at http://t.co/43MMygRZlB. — John Gaburick (@JohnGaburick) June 13, 2014
Update 2x: MVP tweeted out the following about the news:
My knee injury is legit. I'm very disappointed by the timing of this injury and the unfortunate repercussions that accompany it.
— MVP (@The305MVP) June 13, 2014
Now to "business". I'm still the Director of Wrestling Operations for TNA. AND…. "the board of directors" want a FAIR main event match!
— MVP (@The305MVP) June 13, 2014
This a huge blow to TNA, but I have a feeling that since Bobby Lashley beat EY on Impact then that could be a possible replacement for him. Time will tell if that is the way they go.

Manchester firefighters quickly contain Hanover Street blaze
MANCHESTER — Firefighters quickly contained a fire in a vacant home near the corner of Hanover and Maple streets late Monday.
Deputy Fire Chief Dan Goonan said there were heavy flames when the first trucks arrived shortly before 10 p.m. By 10:15, only a few traces of flames were visible as several trucks continued dousing the multi-family home with water.
"They hit the fire really aggressively and knocked it down quickly," Goonan said.
Smoke continued to drift from the building at 307 Hanover St. as firefighters cut through the roof to make certain that no flames remained.
Goonan said the cause wasn't immediately clear. He said the building was vacant, although he heard reports that police had chased out squatters earlier Monday.
There were no injuries.
Goonan said investigators were trying to determine who owned the century-old building, which was apparently undergoing renovations. Goonan said there was construction equipment on the second floor.
It was a two-alarm fire, but Goonan said the second alarm was based on the size of the home.

A simple and light barbecued dinner for a blazingly hot Sunday: Simon and Garfunkel grilled chicken (because it's seasoned with parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme…), caramelised baby leeks, caprese couscous salad. The chicken and leeks were cooked on the barbecue with applewood chips.
The herby dry-rubbed chicken was an experiment, the first time I'd tried this seasoning mix. It was very good and was a nice change from the more typical barbecue flavours like paprika, sugar, and cayenne. I think you could serve this as part of a meal with pulled pork or brisket or pork ribs and it would be able to hold its own, to still have a sense of identity.
Pics from the barbecue that Danielle and I put on yesterday. There's more on flickr.
We made:
This was a lot of work — we both pretty much cooked all day from 9am until our guests arrived at 7pm. The ribs took four hours on the barbecue at a steady 110 deg C, which is my first experience of running a charcoal grill for that long. I basically did as I was told and it worked very well indeed. My confidence is growing. My next step might be a pork shoulder (eight hour or so cook time…)
Not everything was perfect. There was a partial consensus around the table that the beef rub is too peppery, so I'll tone that down next time. I also hit a stall with the meat — I couldn't get the internal temperature up above 74 deg C, when ideally I would have been aiming for 82 deg C. So some of the collagen wasn't entirely rendered out. The beans were a little bit tough, despite a near-two-hour cooking time that should have been ample for tinned beans. And the barbecue didn't have enough heat left after we'd finished the main course to put good sear marks on the pineapple. The deviled eggs, however, genuinely were perfect (and oh-so-pretty).
Still, these are nitpicks compared to what could have gone wrong. Overall, I feel like yesterday was one of the most technically challenging meals we've attempted, and I'm overjoyed with how it came out.
Last month, after lots of pondering and discussion, I finally bought my first decent barbecue: a 57 cm Weber Kettle.
Now, it's not to say I haven't barbecued before. I've had a couple of semi-disposable (i.e. they last year if you're lucky) cheap ones from garden centres over the years. I'd fill them with briquettes, struggle to light them, cook some sausages and burgers until they were black on the outside and — when I was lucky — cooked in the inside, and wolf that down while patting myself on the back. There wasn't very little forethought or effort. I had no idea when food was cooked or when I should be closing the lid.
In recent years, though, my attitude towards cooking has changed a lot; I'm far more thoughtful, far more well-read, and far more methodical in what I do. And hopefully I'm also far more skilled. Every year, I attempt new foods, new cuisines, new techniques, and new equipment; this year, I've tackled cast-iron frying pans and barbecuing.
I've done a fair bit with it in the last few weeks (whenever the British weather has co-operated with me, anyway); the obvious burgers and chops, beer can chicken (which doesn't work, incidentally — wish I'd known that before I tried it), spiral cut hot dogs, corn on the cob, vegetable skewers, and so on. As such, I've also been working with a few techniques and pieces of equipment that are staples of American grilling but that I had never heard of before now.
So, after weeks of burgers and suchlike I decided it was time to get a bit more ambitious and cook a big lump of cow. I started with a 1.2 kg beef rib joint — Americans, that's a "standing rib roast" to you guys.
I coated the meat all over with a generous amount of a barbecue rub:
(On the day, I used 1.5 tsps of each chilli powder and 2 tsp of black pepper and it was a little too hot. I've reduced the amounts in the above mix. It may need further reduction, depending on your taste.)
I left the meat in the rub for a few hours, then took it out and let it warm up for an hour or so at room temperature.
I lit a chimney starter that was about half-full of coals. Once they were hot, I set the barbecue up for indirect cooking: the charcoal is stacked to either side of the grill, using the helpful little divider clip thingies Weber provide. There's an aluminium drip tray in the middle, between the two stacks of coals, to catch any run-off from the food. Then the beef goes over the tray, like so:
I closed the lid and used the top and bottom vents on the barbecue to attempt to maintain a steady 100 deg C (200 deg F) for approximately 1.5 hours. This part was a struggle! Controlling barbecue temperature is an improvisational process that depends on the charcoal, the weather, and whims of the Firepit Gods. Even with the vents almost closed, I was still burning too hot:
I had to lift the meat out, remove the grilling rack, and carefully extract about half of the charcoal with tongs. I left them to burn in an aluminium tray. Then, later, I found the barbecue was getting too cool, as the small amount of charcoal I left behind was burning out; so I re-added the surplus. It wasn't perfect but I muddled through. Next time I attempt this sort of longer cooking time I need to light less charcoal to start with, I need to lay the charcoal out in a Minion method pattern, and I need to use briquettes rather than lumpwood for a more predictable heat.
I went back and forth to the meat every twenty minutes or so during the cooking process, checking the temperature and occasionally adding smoking chips. After an hour I started checking the internal temperature of the meat. I was aiming for rare in the very core, which is achieved at 52 deg C; when the thermometer read 49.5 deg C I took the beef off the grill. This allowed for the core temperature to increase while the meat was resting.
Now, this next bit is another area where my technique could use a little work. Ideally, the meat would now be briefly seared to further colour the surface and generate some extra flavour from the Maillard reaction. However, the remaining charcoal wasn't anywhere near hot enough — even right over the top of it — to get a decent sear on the beef. I considered pan-frying the joint briefly but thought I'd lose too much of the rub. In the end, I flashed it in a hot (220 deg C) oven for ten minutes before removing it to rest. It looked pretty similar coming out of the oven to how it did going in, though, so I'm not sure I really achieved what I was aiming to do.
Finally, before serving I let the meat rest for fifteen minutes under aluminium foil with some teatowels piled on top of it. And then, the moment of truth: carving in, how well cooked would it be?
Success! Nicely rare inside, nicely seasoned and flavoured by the rub on the outside. Tasted fantastic, easily the best thing I've made on the barbecue so far.
I served it with some of my homemade BBQ sauce (recipe to follow) and mashed potatoes flavoured with plenty of cream, mature cheddar, and slow-fried caramelised onions. In hindsight, I wish I'd made potato skins or twice-baked potatoes as I think the texture would have been more interesting; I'll do those next time.

Jesus christmas my Vietnamese family is hospitable. This weekend was was a mini-vacation for the Vietnamese people, a day-night double header of sorts consisting of the May Day and Reunification Day, which is the day the Americans got the heck up out of here. With some time off my family took us to the beach about 3 hours away for a little rest and relaxation. And did we ever rest and relax. We wined, killing bottles of Vietnamese wine, Hennesey, and some cans of halida beer. We dined, bottomless clams, octopus, SHARK FIN, shrimp, various fish, some crab legs, unknown shellfish, and the usual noodle soup and rice as well. And we slept on real beds. One of the best moments occured when our family took us to the last king of vietnam's house on a hilltop and we took the white-trashiest photos while wearing the kings robe and crown. I have never felt more gringo-ish and loved it in my life.
The only hiccup in the beautiful weekend occured when my roommate Max, who at 6 foot 2, is slightly taller and therefor heavier, than your average Vietnamese person informed me that while showering he felt the bottom of the shower crack a bit. Thinking nothing of it I stepped into the shower and proceeded to fall through the floor about 6 inches. Luckily I didn't get cut but there was the minor issue of explaining the incident to our family and the frontdesk. I felt like I was Chevy Chase in the new movie Vietnam Vacation (which would actually be hilarious by the way). An hour of negotiations concluded with our family not having to pay and us not threatening the hotel. Thankfully it all ended lovely and we enjoyed a guilt free car ride home by popping in my new treat of choice green bean cakes, what ever the hell they are.
Time is flying by here and coming home is on the horizon. I have no doubt that the homestretch final two weeks will be a blast and I will definetly add a few more stories to the ridiculous cannon I have already accumulated on this trip.5 years ago
So a personally crummy week with the flu was capped by two of the more memorable experiences yet on this trip. Last weekened we went to Ha Long Bay, one of the seven wonder's of the natural world, that was absolutely stunning but a bit overrun by tourism. A group of us still had a blast jumping of the third deck of the junk boat, swimming around the bay, and exploring a few caves. During the week I was incapacitated with a 103 degree fever but after some antibiotics and Chinese traditional medicine I am feeling much better. Last night was one of the stranger and most relaxing experiences of my life as two blind men walked into our house (I literally watched the "blind leading the blind") and gave me and my host mom the most intense massage/spine correcting hours ever. My homie Zwi twisted and turned my limbs for a whopping 2 bucks and I awoke today like a new man.
With only a few weeks remaining its starting to set in that we are closing in on the home stretch. I look forward to living up the remaining days and reporting back to yall ASAP. Oh and post if you want me to purchase anything for you in the ancient quarter where I will be buying a pair of shoes for 3 bucks….. Until next time5 years ago
Chao em everybody, I am going to go out there and say it… Hanoi may be the coolest place in the world! I know, I know, you might say "But Dave you have only been there a few days, but Dave you have never been to Europe, but Dave they eat dogs….." Well yes all of these things may be true, but I stand by my claims. Where else is crossing the street more energizing than a cup of Folgers, where else can you live in a 5 story home with a koi pond in it, where else can you get a pair of enormous PRESCRIPTION glasses MADE for under 15 bucks, where else can you drink booze out of a 4 foot jar with 6 dead iguana things in it, where else can you, with the help of armed military, help a 93 year old woman carry her keg into her shop when its time to close down, and lastly where else do foot massages come for less than a Happy meal??? Hanoi you are truly one of a kind. My homestay fam is once again amazing, they bought us booze, dried fruit, and gave us a laptop to use. Hospitality of another level. All in all, loving life and I cannot wait to learn more about this place. See yall in a month where I will be more knowledgable of the world and infintely more hairy (No Shave Nam).5 years ago
Well after more than 30 hours of travel with a pit stop in Malaysia, we arrived safe as Rickey Henderson in the beautiful land of Vietnam. I have never felt like more of a foreignor walking around and I absolutely love it. Crossing the street is like living a game of Frogger, where you are the green amphibian and the river is played by an endless stream of honking but careful motorbikes. Every street looks like a marketplace, selling items for less than you can buy them out of the back of a truck in Plainfield. I managed to spend a remarkable 1 ducket on lunch, 3 bucks for a haircut (really really fun to get done when you cannot speak the language), and found a bia hoi (draught beer) place that was literally a sweet old lady with a keg at the end of an alleyway. The streets were filled with drinkers sitting on "fisher price" sized stools enjoying beer at sub-10 cents a mug-full. A few beers in me and my buddies Avery and Mike (put a 6'6" man on those stools and try not to laugh) were joined by an older man who had pulled over his cyclo. A few toasts of the glasses in and he was telling us of how he had fought in the war and passing around his tin of tobacco for us to put in a 2 foot wooden pipe. A night and a dream fulfilled.
Woke for a lovely jog around the central little lake in the mist of the morning and am ready to take on the Old Quarter! Until next time…5 years ago
Well hidey hoe strangers, its your estranged son/brother/grandson/friend posting from his final hours in Cape Town. Okay so after my brief stint in the beautiful Malay quarter known as the Bo-Kaap we moved on to our second host family in Langa, a township designated for black communities during apartheid. What the years of economic hold back took away from the township in roadways, homes, plumbing, and conveniences it made up for in the kindness of its people. My homestay included a 19 year old who ran a church youth group, an overworked mother, and a grandmother Ivy who at 78 read four newspapers a day in three languages, could best me in a convo on movies, and could clearly stump the crap out the Schwab in soccer/rugby/cricket knowledge (which I now understand like the back of my 4.5 fingered hand). Considering she lacked a proper education she was one of the most astounding people I have ever met. Even with how tough they were living they treated me like a king and I am super grateful for it. She made me promise that one day I would fly her to "the states" so she could be the Juanita to my Billy Madison.
Oh and Xhosa is freaking awesome, it involves all the sweet clicks and is essentially creating a community of sick beatboxers.
Post that, I have been on spring break which included staging Real World South Africa on the Western Coast with 12 other peeps in a Penelope Cruz beautiful beach house. One epic wine tour through four vineyards, endless African dancing to Tsotsi beats (I will show everyone when I get home), one ridiculously colorful Zulu-inspired shirt, homemade grub that would make Emeril Lagasse drop a few "Bams," some apron-only dish washing, a few lovely books, and a 30 foot snooker table and a new definition of "Living the Dream" was created. Obscene polaroids will soon make the facebook rounds. So until I reach the land of motorbikes, a bid yall adou.5 years ago
Ok so it is pretty damn difficult to update my blog in Cape Town but that is mostly because I am out day and night having the funnest goddamn time. I ate some zebra and giant antelope yesterday while sipping on some delightful wine and a drink called Dave's nose (essentially a mojito with some apple sours in it) in a piazza under the stars. Wowzers. This city is starting to bowl me over with delight and is a place i could defffffinetly imagine living in. Between the beach, the nightlife, and the food, there is never a dull moment.
In terms of my host family here in C Town I am living with a muslim family in the Bo Kaap neighborhood (mostly Islamic Malaysians) and my house is bright teal….sick. They are absolutely amazing and have taught me new card games, taking me rock jumping, fed me unlimited curry, and explained cricket to me. They are really inviting and amazing. So far 3 for 3 on amazing host families.
Oh and I just bought a frequent user card for an internet cafe so I promise more updates coming soon, including pics. Talk to yall soon.5 years ago

After 15 years of honing his craft on the road, Ali Siddiq is returning to his old stomping grounds with a one-night stand at the Houston Improv on February 27. Before Siddiq shared the stage with some of the country's funniest touring comedians (Kevin Hart, D.L. Hughley, Katt Williams, Dave Chappelle and Cedric the Entertainer, to name a few), he got his start as a stand-up in federal prison. He spent six years as a guest of the state beginning when he was 19. Prison, he's said, prepared him for a career as a comedian. It seems prisoners make a tough audience. Since his release, Siddiq has yet to stop working on his craft. His television credits include four seasons of BET's Comic View, HBO's Def Comedy Jam and Showtime's Chocolate Sundaes, among countless others.

WOONSOCKET ŌĆö The father of slain Providence Patrolman Steven Shaw knows itŌĆÖs hard for some people to understand why, after 19 years, he still shows up for events like the Woonsocket Police DepartmentŌĆÖs COPS Walk.
ŌĆ£They donŌĆÖt understand,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£You never get over it. They say things like ŌĆśyour sonŌĆÖs in a better place.ŌĆÖ ThatŌĆÖs a lot of baloney. If itŌĆÖs so much better why donŌĆÖt you go there instead?ŌĆÖ
Shaw, and his daughter-in-law, Maria Shaw ŌĆö StevenŌĆÖs widow ŌĆö joined local police Wednesday for the first few steps of a 450-mile journey dedicated to officers killed in the line of duty. Part fundraiser, part memorial, the annual trek was christened COPS Walk after its only beneficiary, the national nonprofit Concerns of Police Survivors, which maintains a support network for thousands like Robert and Maria, whoŌĆÖve lost police relatives.
The Shaws were among nearly a hundred family members, friends and dignitaries who gathered at police headquarters for a farewell ceremony on behalf of 13 local police officers who are making the trip, which ends in Washington, D.C. TheyŌĆÖll arrive in time to take part in a candlelight vigil in honor of police killed in the line of duty, the opening rite of National Police Week events in the nationŌĆÖs capitol.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs something to give back to the families that support us,ŌĆØ says Detective Brad Scully, one of the participating officers. ŌĆ£This is what the officers would for my family, so I do it for their families.ŌĆØ
Sgt. Ed Cunanan, a chief organizer of COPS Walk, told spectators the event raised $15,000 for the Camdenton, Mo.-based COPS agency last year. That was not just a record for COPS Walk, he said, it was more than any other single law enforcement agency in the nation.
This year, which marks the 12th annual COPS Walk, the WPD crew has already broken the record, bringing in $18,000 before taking a single step.
COPS Walk has steadily grown over the years from its humble roots as a simple pledge drive, says Cunanan. The work began months ago and included a ŌĆ£comedy nightŌĆØ at a local club; a tag day; and a fundraising ŌĆ£spinŌĆØ class at The Gym LLC.
No one raised more cash than Detective Sgt. Phil Kamer, who posted a fundraising page on Facebook that generated ŌĆ£thousands,ŌĆØ said Cunanan.
ŌĆ£The work before we take our first step is almost as hard now,ŌĆØ says Cunanan. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre sitting on $18,000 ready to give. We normally get a lot of donations on the way, so that number can only go up.ŌĆØ
During the next several days, COPS Walk participants will walk about 60 miles each in rotating shifts, reaching their destination sometime Saturday. When theyŌĆÖre not on their feet, the officers will rest in a rented mobile home thatŌĆÖs always a few steps ahead of them. A marked police cruiser follows the caravan, for safety reasons.
A number of dignitaries attended the sendoff, including Mayor Leo Fontaine, Police Chief Tom Carey, Councilman Robert Moreau and Chris Fierro, an aide to Congressman David Cicilline (D-RI).
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve been doing this about 30 years,ŌĆØ said Carey. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve never seen anything like COPS Walk from any other agency.ŌĆØ
In addition to Cunanan and Scully, the officers participating in the walk are Sgt. Marc Cabral, Sgt. George McMann, Officers Sean Carpenter, Patrick McGourty, Matt Mendes, Mike Flood and James Dybala, Detective Peter Menard, Detective Kevin LŌĆÖHeureux, Lt. Norman Galipeau and Lt. Todd Boisvert.
Maria and Bob Shaw say they appreciate all the police departmentŌĆÖs efforts to raise money for the agency. TheyŌĆÖve both benefited immensely, they say, from family counseling, retreats and other programs offered by COPS.
ŌĆ£We love you,ŌĆØ they called out midway through the ceremony.
Bob Shaw, whoŌĆÖs taking the train to Washington this weekend, says heŌĆÖs never missed a National Police Week celebration since his son was killed while searching a house in the West End of Providence in 1994. He was just 27 years old and married about 18 months.
The names of all U.S. police officers killed in the line of duty during the past year are added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial during the event. This year the names of 166 officers killed in 2011 will be added, according to COPS. Increasingly, police say the trend is that law enforcement deaths are on the rise, and more likely to be the result of violent assaults and gunfire.
As mayor and public safety director, Fontaine says he listens to the police scanner at home regularly, sometimes with his children. ItŌĆÖs always a nailbiter when the dispatcher broadcasts reports of ŌĆ£shots fired,ŌĆØ he says.
ŌĆ£Even my kids, they stop and listen,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs dead silence. IŌĆÖm just waiting to hear everythingŌĆÖs okay.ŌĆØ
Like Shaw, Carey isnŌĆÖt walking, but he, too, will travel to Washington for National Police Week this weekend. HeŌĆÖs on his way there to honor fallen friends from the St. Petersburg, Fla., police department, where he spent 26 years before arriving in Woonsocket. Three officers from the force were killed in less than a monthŌĆÖs time in 2011, and Carey knew them all.
K-9 Officer Jeffrey Yaslowitz and Sgt. Tom Baitinger were both shot to death while attempting serve a search warrant in late January. The shock had barely subsided when Officer Dave Crawford was fatally shot after detaining a teenager suspected of tampering with an auto.
ItŌĆÖs been nearly 75 years since Woonsocket last experienced a line-of-duty police death, but the recent loss of Providence Patrolman Max Dorley, killed in a cruiser crash while en route to an emergency, is a reminder that the risk is never far away, says Carey.
ŌĆ£We know itŌĆÖs a dangerous job, and thatŌĆÖs why weŌĆÖre here today,ŌĆØ he says.

I was thrilled to read Coach Cronin's piece highlighting the dangers of texting while driving and urging all drivers that It Can Wait ("Coach calls foul on texting while driving," Jan. 21).
AT&T has partnered with high schools, the Boys and Girls Clubs, the Cincinnati Youth Collaborative, and Cincinnati Public Schools to sponsor events with texting simulators and other educational materials to showcase how deadly the practice can be.
We've worked to educate drivers, and in particular teens, on the texting ban that the Ohio legislature passed a few years ago.
For adults this law is a secondary offense, but, as we've found in our research and as Coach Cronin mentioned, nearly half of commuters (49 percent) admitted to texting while driving – a higher rate than reported by teens (44 percent).
In 2014 we aim to continue our work with teens and look to expand our outreach and work with employers as well.
Thank you to Coach Cronin for bringing awareness to this important issue.

by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Apr 21st, 2010 at 8:01PM
It would seem that Fiat head Sergio Marchionne is nothing if not ambitious.

DC++ autoreconnect
Hey there everyone. I am using DC++ at the moment for LAN sharing. The problem is my net disconnects after every 1.8 gigs of data shared on lan. This is the rule by the HUB admin I suppose.
DC++ hangs when it tries to reconnect or I manually reconnect after it disconnects. I have to close it and then restart the software again.
Can Apex DC++ solve the problem?
Also one major issue I am facing is that I am on a wireless router(Belkin N150) but my desktop is connected to it through ethernet cable from the router. I cannot search on DC++ or even download from DC++ when I am on wifi. I have to use the dialer to dial up due to which my wifi shuts. Only then I can use DC.
Is there any setting where I can use wifi and DC++ on my desktop at the same time?
