RIP MSN Messenger, kthxbai. Microsoft finally flicks on KILL SWITCH in China
MSN isnt dead.... just the client
As all of my contacts used pidgin instead of Microsoft's crappy client before the end of live messenger, we just kept using it through reports of it closing down. thus far the network is definitely still alive to this day. I dont know if the skype client is using or not, but I suspect they wont turn off the backend network in a hurry. as all that data that goes through it has to be worth $ to them.
Just how far did storage and compute converge in 2013?
yes, and the omission of the hybrid cloud tech in redhat enterprise linux 7 (and centos). It will does this very well, and has the ability to use rented grunt or storage across the net for short term needs when you need to crunch through a big job then back to normal on your private system. I wouldnt be buying a propriety system ahead of this.
Department of Human Services removes Medicare from internet
Im sure the recent health services budget cuts after the election have not helped. Perhaps the desk thats meant to have someone sitting in it looking after this kind of stuff is now empty?
Crippling server 'leccy bill risks sinking OpenBSD Foundation
why openBSD?
I looked in to this quite closely. The reason openbsd need so many machines is so they can support many different architectures. most those architectures are obsolete, but they maintain and run servers because the different processors running with different speeds and features and other subtle differences often show up security bugs such as in openssh (but also other components/apps). Once the test suites find an issue in say openssh on vax or spac it is often proven that it exists on other architectures but doesnt show up easily. So the fixes end up befitting everyone who runs openssh, including most the linux distros.
the problem is that the openbsd guys are an old school stubborn lot and you cant convince them more small donations from outsiders would work. They want to charge more for open bsd cds (which i reckon many possible donators would not even want) or some large corporate to come forth (and they arnt). They dont want to put a donation meter on their site so you know people are donating and your money is well spent and they dont want to do anything differently. If you try to politely suggest that small donations would work and suggest some more modern concepts to attack the donations it is very likely you'll get turned away by an ill considered rude answer. Good luck openBSD... I respect your code but the way your going, your going to need it.....
NSA spies should clean up their act, says Prez Obama-picked panel
"The government need not stop its practice of collecting bulk metadata about Americans' phone calls, the group found. But it recommended that this data be held by a private party, rather than the government itself, and that the government should only be able to request specific information when it is needed for investigations."
ABC finally brings iView to Android
Cool. Works just fine for me. Looks like 1000+ downloads now.
And it doesnt have any location/gps access. Not sure why it needs to know my account details, or sdcard access though, unless its going to allow download and offline streaming. Which would be pretty cool. Pull down the video via wifi at home then watch on the bus.
Just when you were considering Red Hat Linux 6.5, here comes 7
Re: Not sure...
Yeah, start testing it if you want and submit bugs to the trackers. But dont plan on using it in production in 2014.
'Mixed tech' NBN needs a super-sized HFC net
So, I get 5mbit ADSL now and HFC passes my house and has been there for 10 years. So because of this I will get no upgrade at all, and even if I did the best that would happen is to get connected to 10 year old HFC. And that HFC is shared bandwidth so if the majority of subscribers move on to it, the usable bandwidth will not live up to expectations. So getting connected to 10 year old tech that the private sector built is part of a plan which will now cost the taxpayer $92 billion AUD. How the hell can you call that an NBN or value for money or building infrastructure for the future?
Junior telcos tie knot in NBN Co copper plan
Re: Can Aussie pollies do anything right?
I think you'll find the liberal party are running the country like a business. Trying to spend the least amount of money on the least amount of stuff they can get away with for short term profit.
The government however should be trying to do what is best for the people. They should be prepared to spend money to keep the economy moving.
Those who I know who work in Parliament are some of the hardest working people I know - you just wouldnt know it! The media is very selective on what it reports and heaps more goes on than most people know about. Huge documents are researched and picked apart and negotiated on very limited timeframes, and they need to balance all the different groups trying to influence them different directions.
Then they need to go in to damage control mode when the media runs an unfair one sided over simplification on every subject thinking they can summerise 800 pages of complexity in 1 headline. If that was possible Im sure the results we see would be a lot better! Its horrible work/life balance.
The oversimplification of politics in the media is really unfortunate as it has a huge effect on what people think.
Most of Dread Pirate Roberts' treasure still buried, say researchers
So the research paper is claiming that everyone who was interested in bitcoin in the early days are all really aliases for satoshi, who then decided to transfer some coin to DPR in 2013? Sounds like people throwing names around to try and get some useless study published to me.Could the link be any weaker at all? Is it even a link?
No, it's NOT Half-Life 3 – it's Valve's lean, mean STEAM MACHINE
Re: Destined to fail
I dont see that underpowered but consistant hardware specs is the benefit some say it is. I dusted off the old xbox 360 last night and fired up badlands. I noticed the game chunking quite a lot during the intro.
Conversely, PC games have been able to automatically benchmark the pc rig they're running on and configure to suit for years and years. Varied PC hardware is simply not the problem console gamers say it is. Its just an excuse to justify lame hardware and slow development cycles while the manufacturers milk more cash.
This will build on the success the steam platform already is.
Re: This will either save PC gaming or kill it.
They have said you will be able to dual boot it, so there are pleanty of ways you can also use it as a media player. Performance wise this leave the 'next gen' consoles for dead. I bet they sell a lot more controllers than systems though, as plenty of people will want to supply their own hardware (or use existing hardware).
Big Content says Pirates of the Caribbean do their worst in Australia
Its because the Australian police consider piracy a civil offence (and it is, too).
If the MPAA want to act, then they should identify the sellers then take them to court themselves. The court system would then make a ruling.
Telling the police to do all the work at the tax payers expense is not how things work here. Hurrah for the police doing things the right and legal way.
Cisco: We'll open-source our H.264 video code AND foot licensing bill
site license
So cisco is paying a site license for unlimited use on the h264 codec for the whole world? That would have to be one hell of a license fee. Something doesnt smell right. There will have to be limitations, or else the fee will have to be so large that mpeg la are happy to never accept a cent from anyone else.
I can see the license being restricted to use in FF and/or other browsers would work. But I bet I cant write my own unrelated video conferencing application and distribute it then say "cisco will pay up for that part".
New Oz government keeps Huawei ban after spook briefing
i wouldnt trust huawai
After seeing what the NSA have done in the USA (and the rest of the world), breaking / backdooring crypto standards and possibly hardware (intels random number generator) I would expect that everything is backdoored. Sure the intel guy who made intels RNG says no way it is backdoored, but whos to say that one person in the right place didnt slip one on the silicon before it was produced? The same thing is surely happening in China. The regime is different, but people are people. So the question becomes whos back door do you want on your infrastructure? Im guessing China is enough of a threat to take seriously.
DON'T BREW THAT CUPPA! Your kettle could be a SPAMBOT
Or maybe the competitors of the named brand shoved a few boards in the competitors products then sold them to retailers, only to buy them again and get the story in the news. I would say this would be more likely!
Not that you couldnt put a cheap small allwinner chipset based system with wifi in an appliance.....
Drone owners told: stay out of bushfire skies
My mate has one of these. Ive used it with him to get some great footage, but have kept it away from everyone because the risks are real. Its about 50cm from side to side, made of hard plastic (not styrofoam) and quite soild. It would make a mess of a chopper stabilising rotor if it hit it, thats for sure.
Great device, but you need to respect the law and use common sense if you are going to fly one.
DARPA slaps $2m on the bar for the ULTIMATE security bug SLAYER
thats not a bug, its a feature
Other than really stupid flaws which can be detected automatically with tools like lint, if anyone chooses to run them, you cant do this automatically. How can you tell if its a bug or expected operation. I can see these tools closing holes, and breaking as much functionality, and it taking just as long for a human to create the original intended result.
Telstra plans to keep hands on government BEEELIONS
Re: You lack sufficient cynicism young commentard
"The "public" can get FTTP under the coalitions plan if that is what they want. It has always been an available option that you can pay for if you require it."
Can you produce a link to current documentation for this? I want fibre to the premisis, and considering what it will cost me in stamp duty to move house, I am prepared to put down the thousands and pay for it if I have to.
I heard it was an option, then I read somewhere that it wasnt, and now I can not find current facts at all. If I can buy it, I will, and I dont know what happens next. Do they run fibre from the exchange to just my house? From the node? (I read that the FTTN architecture was not upgradeable and would need to be ripped up to swap to FTTP). Do they run a single house off a shared 30 connection GPON passive fibre card like the original FTTP plan (though it would have been blocks of 30 houses installed at one, withthe fibre pulled through the ducts in one hit), or do they install a dedicated link per household?
This is not just a pro FTTP rant... I really do want straight answers on if I can pay now and what happens. I want to take that option. Anyone?
Microsoft's Azure will bring tiers to your eyes
Gee, nice bit of microsoft spam. I hope they paid well for it.
For a competing system, see redhat hats offering.
You can have public, private or hybrid cloud where you can lease extra capacity on an as required basis adding nodes via the net to your own private cloud on an as required basis.
But really, is this even news?
Microsoft relents: 'Go ahead, install Windows 8.1 on clean PCs'
Why make everything so hard to move to a failing platform that needs some love right now? They must really hate their customers. The left hand giveth and the right hand takes some more away.
Turnbull floats e-vote, compulsory ID
Re: undemocratic swill
We now know the NSA have been working with American security companies to weaken security systems and insert back doors. I would say its VERY likely that diebold are part of this, and the system is more open to corruption than we thought. Either turnbul is in on it, or ignorant. Eitherway we need to make sure this does not happen. We should never allow electronic voting on closed systems, or systems imported from anywhere else.
Assange fails in bid for election to Australian Senate
wikileaks lost the game the moment their preferences were announced, and the nazi party ranked high, and above the quality greens senator scott ludlam who has been doing a very good job pushing the issues wikileaks supposedly stand for. They were trying to play the preferences game but preferences were put in which were not approved by the wikileaks national council, and in doing so they became part of the problem they are trying to solve (and lost most of their supporter base). It turns out you cant say one thing and then do another when running on a platform of transparency and proper process.

Microsoft buys Nokia's mobile business
Re: One wonders how stupid Nokia shareholders must be
well, option (1) building a better phone had been in development for more than 5 years. Nokia engineering had developed shedloads of drivers and IP against texus instruments OMAP chipsets, they owned QT, they had a theme that scaled desktop apps down to a small screen size very well. It was linux kernel based and it did already exist. All they had to do was stop elop from only allowing them to sell it to the wrong markets, then calling it a failure and tossing all that R&D in the bin. The N900 before it was well received http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N900 though possibly a little late but they were on the right track could have sold android along side it as another option, and had a certain amount of compatibility and shared development investment between both OS as they used a linux kernel.
So much quality work wasted to either devalue the company for microsoft and to sell win phone OS when nobody else would. This whole thing would have been like watching a train crash for the nokia engineers who understood what it could have been.
Larry Ellison: Google is ABSOLUTELY EVIL, but NSA is ESSENTIAL
So google shouldnt be able to use the java api which is not protected, but its ok for oracle to take redhat linux under its open source licenses, then f**k it up craptasticly and collect support $ while giving nothing back to red hat?
At least redhat fund a lot open source development and give back heaps to the community.
True oracle do invest in some linux development (btrfs comes to mind) but I dont think they can talk, here.
Snowden's secure email provider Lavabit shuts down under gag order
For cloud hosting, host your own. Then you know what it is and where. Hire some skilled staff who can keep it running and keep the data backed up offsite. If your worried about web or email use SSL on your mail server and https in your browser.
IMHO No business should keep any private data out in the cloud. Its not a question of country.
IBM opens up Power chips, ARM-style, to take on Chipzilla
Re: But why?
But why? Where I work I see large corporates buying IP and making custom chips for custom applications (think engine computers, motorola cpus, and other bits of hardware baked in to make a purpose build low cost application platform.).
This is something that people will keep wanting to do, and with IBM having been a large long time supporter of linux they will not worry about not being able to get vendor support.
In these applications it doesnt matter what chip it is. It'll come down to what options you can put in the silicon, and price point, and the existence of software tools. This will make ppc hardware or ppc + linux os a viable option in this field. Sure the chips were falling behind vs x86, but were not talking ppc from 3 years ago. Were talking the next gen, and if they have done the engineering right with regards to heat and power they may remain relevant in some markets.
Just dont expect one on your desktop pc or your phone. If thats what your thinking, you have not seen the deeper picture.
Give up your privacy so Big Data can FIX GOVERNMENT
Government agencies sharing relevant data to other government agencies where relevant and under a privacy policy is a very different thing to sniffing collecting and analysing citizens communications and internet traffic. The first I think does make sense with the right protections and oversight in place to prevent abuse of the system. The latter however has no oversight as it is all secret and has no place.
iiNet to buy Adam Internet
This is a good thing. Adam has been my ISP for nearly 10 years, and in that time ive been very happy with the local support from knowledgeable and helpful people, and with usually no wait to speak to them on the phone.
When telstra where looking to buy Adam, I figured that if they closed down the local office then I would move to iinet as a backup plan. Apparently the Adam owners were looking to cash in, so if they had to go somewhere Im happy that it is iinet. From all reports they look after their customers too, and I have a lot of respect for them taking the battle against AFACT to the high court, and winning at every level[1].
[1] but also thanks to the other ISPs that backed iinets efforts too.
Nah, thats not true. Adam have signed an agreement for wholesale NBN access and already offer it.
Microsoft cuts Surface Pro price by $100
Re: How, Now?
I dunno, there is a lot of x86 windows software out there. Intel have demonstrated x86 processors sucking less juice than arm. But windows 8 and surface dont have a reputation to justify the cost. They need to have a loss leader, sell them under priced and get them in to the market as quickly as possible. Once people have them they'll demand software suited to the platform (desktop apps will be there, but surface pro apps designed for touch with the right gui will help, and start to sell). Microsoft are not making anyone want these products. I dont know what adds the rest of the world are seeing, but the only one ive seen is a bunch of corporates sitting around a table where everyone has a surface pro, and then they all dance around. It looks stupid! a) nobody in business has a pro and there is no reason to get one. b) nobody in business dances in synchronisation at meetings c) its not different and cool, its apple 3 years ago and while apple have lost a lot of cool lately they still have a lot more than microsoft!
Arrr! Comcast working on new tech to nudge PIRATES to go straight
There are problems here with net neutrality. It is not the ISPs place to send their customers to specific stores. They say it'll be industry wide and send you to alternate sources "when" it is not available from the main ones - but this comment should set off alarm bells.
I do see this hurting the smaller and more new world content distributors who offer a fairer deal and have less money to hand to comcast. This is the beginning of comcast funnelling customers to clients who pay big and that is a very dangerous thing. Whats more its also one of those slipery slopes, there are sales and therefore money in it and once this begins nobody will be able to pull it back. It'll only get larger and more wide spread.
This should definitely be rejected by consumers. Unfortunately, few understand the larger picture.
Internode's Simon Hackett offers re-engineered NBN plan
Simon Hackett knows what hes talking about. Hes built internode (now owned by iinet) and the agile wholesale network and speaks from what hes learnt. Is there any chance we can get him in to a top job at the NBN co. I dont doubt that hes right on all accounts and his advise would be beneficial if followed.
Apple's new data center to be solar powered, 100% green
Good on em! It'll save them money in the medium/long term, and provide yet another reference site to prove it is possible and does work. Since we cant wait for the whole world to be powered by one single epic 24x7 renewable power installation, every bit built and emissions saved is good - and a 1 megawatt hour plant is nothing to be sneezed at. Keep it up apple, and anyone whos in a position to do the same go for it. And im not even an apple fanboi, I have zero apple products and avoid itunes like the plague.

PlayStation 4 is FreeBSD inside

Reg to Australia: Here's your chance to find NBN answers
Also what we need should be better defined. We dont need the internet at all, but it sure has benefits to the economy and quality of life. Perhaps what can we use, or what we need to compete with europe/asia and the usa in the cloud based services market.
Im happy to put up $100au (and have). Will make sure I put forward some good logic to those that do the study. If this kind of thing can gain traction im sure there will be good benefit for the NBN debate, and something those of us who want it can reference in our discussions. No doubt for the register will also benifit for organising it, and that is fair.
That Microsoft-Nokia merger you've been predicting? It's no go
Re: why would MS buy now?
Because they have the cash to float the company. If nokia dies and their windows phones leave the market, then there are very few windows phone options left. Microsoft want to keep pushing windows 8 and windows phone with the same UI, thinking that some day people will start wanting it.... I guess what they are doing (destroying nokias value, and then trying to buy them for cheap) might have insulted too many and pushed too many too far so that talks fell apart though.
CSIRO scales up solar cell printing
It looks like they are heading in the right direction decent chances of success. Lets hope they can keep improving the tech, to the point we can buy a roll of cheap solar panel to lay with worthwhile output.
Streaming music works for us, say US and UK indie labels
The question is not "is streaming worth it?" its "whats in the contracts?". Like anything you can have good and bad business contracts, and if you are an artist, then hearing "streaming" and saying "yes" or "no" based on that alone is a huge mistake, as big as you can make anywhere contracts are involved. If anyones wants to stream your music for free, read the fine print even more closely.

Google tells Microsoft to yank its new WinPhone YouTube app
Any other company and i'd agree and say give them the access they need....

The NBN questions Malcolm Turnbull won't answer
this is surely going to be controversial, but this county needs fibre to the premises for the future. if the libs get from protest vote against labor they will do a lot of bad things.. waste $billions on a rubbish nbn that will set the country and companies technology investment back a long long way. Then they will damage or sell medicare, they wont invest in schools even though the education system needs some help. If you dont want to vote labor DO vote for one of the smaller parties instead. There are enough around to pick from, personally im thinking pirate party australia - worth searching them out if you think you might be interested.
Outback geothermal plant goes live
Well, im happy to see some of my tax money go on it. Someones gotta do it first, and most tech improves as its developed and tested. Im also happy to see australia developing such tech. Lets hope its proven successful and keep an eye out for the next generation. Solar is good and getting better but as said above large scale geothermal runs at night. I also wouldnt worry about cooling the rock down. Our planet has a core of molten rock, theres a lot of heat down there.
Picture this: Kodak could get out of bankruptcy as early as July
I did wonder how kodak failed after inventing the first digital camera. But this article spells it out - too slow to improve it, and once behind not rich enough to catch up. Sad to see, but you cant undo poor choices by management.
As for solar, it is making quite a difference where I live. Details here:
Have a look with google maps around the suburbs near the citys in australia (eg: adelaide south australia ) to see just how much there is here. You wont have to look far to see it. My house has generated 3.5megawatt hours off a little 1.5kw system in the last 3 years. About half my energy needs. I just forget about it and it keeps ticking over. The tech keeps improving and becoming cheaper too.
Smug Red Hat buoyed by UK gov's open-source three-line-whip
This is very good. Not forcing people to use open source out of principal, but to evaluate it and choose it if its the best. Redhat's enterprise linux provides great API stability for the long term, and if paying to use it meets the requirements, does the job without lock in and still wins on the cost front, then its the great win I wish more IT contracts were made of.

How to override Monitor detection?
Hi guys,
I have a big problem. i have connected my monitors via displayport to my computer.
displayport is very nice, but it has one feature that is - in combination with windows vista/7 - very bad. displayport specification says that if a device (Monitor) will be turned off (standby) it will not be visible to the computer anymore. that is very annoying because windows has a routine which permanently checks if all monitors are still connected. if one monitor will be physicly disconnected, then windows will reorganize the desktop (all content that was on the disconnected screen will be moved to the others). if the monitor will be turned on again windows will move the windows back to the place where it has been before, but often it does not work correctly.
does somebody know how to disable that? maybe a registryentry?
|My System Specs
|18 Jan 2012
win 7 x64 (linux suse 12 for internet)
have same issue with display port
I have a 4 port KVM displayport switch. I have the same or similar issue. once the PC and monitor lose connection all of the open windows move to the upper left and overlap.
Issue happens without the KVM connected if the displayport cable is removed from the video card and then replaced. So not the switch.
also with the same equipment dvi and hdmi connections do not have the problem. I use display port because it is the only way my dell u2711 will allow 2650x1440 resolution.
Have you found a hack to turn off detect displays? that is almost sure the root cause. I have loaded a pre SP1 copy of vista and it will not automatically detect a 2nd monitor and with display port no issue. Vista has too many other issues to actually use it. I just wanted to confirm issue.
I also have tried windows 8 build 7879 problem not fixed.
any suggestions?

Tim Cook: The classic iPod HAD TO DIE, and this is WHY
I was going to buy a 160 Gb Classic but decided to leave it until after my holibobs. When I returned to Blighty the gits had stopped making it and chancers were asking $SILLY_MONEY. My old and faithful 60 Gb is down to 2 Gb free.
I have a refurbished 160 Gb model now, hopefully this will last until the Mega-Global Fruit Corporation realises that 64 Gb is too frikkin' small.

If it's any consolation...
...a couple of months ago BA's automagical check-in system decided, in mid-process, to decline to acknowledge my existence. I therefore went to the organic version, who duly issued me with a boarding pass. Gate B67 at LHR T5. When I got there, I found a big shiny Boeing 747 loading passengers bound for Los Angeles, which was a more than minor inconvenience for someone who wanted to fly to Denver. Fortunately a nice and, crucially, competent BA employee was able to direct me to the correct aeroplane.
I was the last to board. "We've been waiting for you" said a member of the cabin crew, disapprovingly. I showed him my fatally flawed boarding pass. He was apologetic. I was apoplectic, though not to the extent that I'd consider using a US airline for next year's holibobs.
Huge PDP-11 in a lorry: How I drove computers into schools
PDP - Aaargh!
In my first job as a Babbage-Engine driver we had a PDP which was used for word processing, and also by the accounts/payroll bods. Being a curious type who wished to be a 1337 h@xx0r, I discovered that the WP files could be accessed from the command line and were easily legible on a VT100 once you'd stripped away the initial gibberish. After only a couple of months in IT I knew the entire company's salary structure, which was galling as the only person paid less than me was the Wee Work Experience Lackey.

Reg man the most-flamed recruiter in the UK?

Yes, please DO ask yourself how long said device has been available in the UK. Then ask yourself how clueless a Slave Trader would have to be not to pick up on this.
When my last job went to India I got a copy of "my" CV from the HR Droids. It bore absolutely no resemblance to the document I'd sent to the Slave Traders some seven years previously and, while it didn't say I was fluent in spoken and written Xhosa, the rest of it was so full of outright Lie that I am mildly surprised that I'm not doing porridge for fraud. And this was not the first time that a Slave Trader has re-written my CV to make me appear to have l33t 5k1llz in an area of which I know little. Witness the embarrassing time when some chump sent me to an interview with $BIGCO. I had understood it was for a VMS BOFH position, so all of us were a bit put out when it turned out that they were actually looking for a RSTS system manager.

It might have got better after that, but by then I'd lost the will to live and had started drinking heavily.

|Congregations Grow when "Love Meets Needs"
By Elliott Wright*
Leawood, KS, August 2, 2007--Churches grow when "love meets needs," the pastor of The United Methodist Church's largest congregation said in opening an annual gathering of church developers.
The Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell of Windsor Village United Methodist Church, Houston, was the keynote speaker at the 2007 School of Congregational Development. Windsor Village has 16,886 members today; it had 25 people when Caldwell was appointed pastor in 1982.
He told more than 600 church developers from across the US that a congregation doing what it should be doing in responding to people's spiritual and material needs will have a "capacity problem"--not enough space.
Windsor Village, a predominantly African American congregation, is currently completing the first stage of a new facility suitable to its worship, educational, and community outreach needs. It engages in multiple community-based ministries, including housing, health, and economic development.
Caldwell said that church growth requires spiritual and economic capital combined in plans that have been "taken to the altar of God" for sanction. He chided the denomination for talking too little about finances and rarely mentioning "the T word" (tithe).
Once God gives a vision, the Houston pastor declared, God will also make provisions to achieve it. He used as his text Genesis 13, a passage in which the households and flocks of Abram and Lot part company. Lot takes his choice of the land; Abram (later Abraham), content to let God provide, received as far as he could see. "God gives us what we see," Caldwell said.
The United Methodist Church is embarking on a plan to start 650 new US congregations in the next five years. Membership in the US has dropped below eight million. Membership outside the US, primarily in Africa and the Philippines, is increasing and stands at 3.5 million.
The six-day School of Congregational Development, which focuses on the US, is sponsored by a joint committee from the United Methodist General Boards of Discipleship and Global Ministries. It was hosted this year by the Kansas East and Missouri Annual Conferences and held at the Church of the Resurrection, an 14,000 member congregation in Leawood, KS.
Another plenary speaker, the Rev. Steven Blair, told of what is happening in a new United Methodist faith community as love meets need. Blair, 29, is pastor of FirstLight, a developing congregation that worships in a school building in Gardner, Kansas.
His experience at FirstLight, he said, convinces him that the church should move from "marketing to messaging," that is, shift from trying to sell something to the "announcing of who we are" as Christians and Methodists.
FirstLight has an average of 230 persons in worship each Sunday. It celebrates Holy Communion every week around a table on which is inscribed, "You are Accepted." This affirmation, Blair said, is highly effective among newcomers who may not even know the Bible stories--yet.
The people at FirstLight, the pastor explained, are coping with such questions as, "What does it mean to be the people of God in this time and place?"
Blair brought along Kevin Norris, a participant at FirstLight, who saw an announcement of the fellowship in a grocery store. He said that he had been wary of organized religion because once as a teenager a church usher asked he and a group of friends "if they belonged" there. At FirstLight, he said, he had discovered that he was acceptable to God as he accepted God's love.
Both Caldwell and Blair spoke of the contemporary relevance of Methodism's founding theology in the ministry of John Wesley in 18th century England. Wesley emphasized both personal and social holiness, by which he meant a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ and the social expression of the Christian community in the church.
The School of Congregational Development this year featured 18 ministry tracks ranging from the starting of new congregations to the relocating of existing local churches. The tracks cover a variety of ethnic and racial ministries and such topics as worship and pastoral leadership.

Nvidia denies chipset farewell
Why the meeting?
The reason for the meeying seems awfully thin. It could very well be other concerns that the OEMs have. I wonder if this meeting has more to do with the current MCP GPU materials packaging failures that many laptop owners are seeing. If they used crap for the laptop chipsets it is unlikely they used anything better for the desktop chipsets.

African-American leaders divided on whether to view Rand Paul as friend or foe
- Written by Perry Bacon Jr./theGrio
- Published in News
Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) aggressive outreach to the African-American community over the last several months is dividing African-American leaders, as some are excited that a prominent conservative Republican is embracing their causes, while others argue that working with the Kentucky senator and a likely 2016 presidential candidate is a mistake.
Paul, openly acknowledging the Republican Party's longtime struggles with African-American voters, is giving speeches at African-American colleges and meeting with key African-American pastors and leaders across the country. He is also taking stances, such as urging the restoration of voting rights for convicted felons and reducing the use of mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes, that are unusual for a Republican.
"It's extremely significant and I think quite encouraging for Senator Paul to not just raise these issues but also to be such a passionate advocate," said Jotaka Eaddy, a senior director at the NAACP. She added, "It's always positive when you have unexpected voices that are advocating around these principles."
But Gerald Neal, one of Kentucky's two African-American state senators, says that Paul is using this black outreach to cast himself as a different kind of Republican in preparation for his near-certain presidential run, while doing little to actually change policy. Paul is also a strong critic of President Obama, who remains deeply popular among blacks.
African-Americans who work with Paul "give an unnecessary and unwarranted pass to an individual whose actions are antithetical to the interests of the black community," Neal said in an interview. "He is using you to his benefit."
Since Mitt Romney lost the 2012 election, Paul, like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and other potential GOP presidential candidates, has been making every possible move to prepare for a campaign, meeting with key activists and making visits to early primary states.
But Paul, unlike the other 2016 Republican hopefuls, is constantly harping on how the GOP must make more inroads not just with Hispanic voters, who both parties hotly contest each election cycle, but also African-Americans, a bloc Romney effectively conceded in 2012. Obama won more than 90 percent of the black vote in both 2008 and 2012.
Paul aides say his recent moves are aimed at both helping the Republican Party politically and also representing his true policy views.
"What's he's doing is from the heart," said Brian Darling, Paul's communications director.
African Americans at first panned Paul's outreach, after the senator was sharply criticized by students at Howard University last spring when he visited the school and gave a speech the students felt was talking down to them.
But he has drawn praise since then. Kentucky is one of two states that permanently bar convicted felons from voting, a policy that disproportionately affects African Americans. Paul impressed civil rights advocates not only by urging the state to change that law but by testifying at a hearing in Kentucky's state legislature to draw attention to the issue, a highly unusual move for a sitting U.S. senator.
Attorney General Eric Holder, in a recent speech, described Paul as a "leader" on the issue of restoring voting rights for felons.
Officials at the Sentencing Project, a group that works on reducing racial disparities in prison terms, say Paul's staff has reached out to them for information to buttress his speeches on criminal justice reform.
And Kevin Cosby, pastor of a large African-American church in Louisville, told Politico that Paul is willing to take advice on how to communicate better his conservative ideas to African-American audiences. The pastor, for example, has urged Paul avoid the phrase "states rights," which carries connotations of segregation-era policies for many blacks.
In a coup for Paul, Lorraine Miller, the interim president of the NAACP, said earlier this year the group would consider having the Kentucky senator as one of the keynote speakers at its annual conference.
But that potential invitation has drawn controversy. Other African-American associate the senator with his father Ron, whose political operation produced a series of racially-charged newsletters, and Rand Paul's controversial comments in 2010, when he suggested that he disagreed with a plank of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
They are not eager to hear Paul speak at the convention of one of America's foremost civil rights organizations, worried the senator will highlight that appearance if he runs for president.
"I would not invite him, because he will use that in his campaign, he will get an applause line," said Joe Madison, a former NAACP board member and civil rights leader who now hosts a radio show on SiriusXM. He added of Paul, "He's one vote and he's not going to persuade the Tea Party or the Republicans. It will just be an appearance. It won't have any impact on the party."
Paul's advocacy, as Madison noted, has had limited impact on the Republican Party so far. The provision in the Kentucky state legislature to allow convicted felons to vote did not pass. Changes in drug sentencing policy so far have not been approved in Congress, leaving the Obama administration to use its executive authority to urge prosecutors to avoid triggering mandatory minimums for drug crimes.
"I am a little reluctant to categorize these efforts as a step forward," said Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), the leading African-Ameerican Democrat in the House. "The first time I saw Rand Paul on the national stage, he was saying things I found insulting."
The doubts about Paul from some African Americans were reinforced this week. He appeared to condemn laws that mandate presenting a photo ID to vote, telling the New York Times in an interview that was published last week that "it's wrong for Republicans to go too crazy on this issue because it's offending people."
But the senator has since said his comments, which were sharply criticized by some conservative activists, were misconstrued. He is not opposed to voter ID laws, but simply thinks the GOP is making a political mistake in highlighting them.
Wade Henderson, president and chief executive of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, says civil rights advocates should opt for a middle ground with Paul. Henderson's group invited the senator to speak at an event in February that the Leadership Conference sponsored on criminal justice reform. At the same time, Henderson is pushing Paul to break with his party on another issue, a provision now stalled in Congress that would reinstate some parts of the Voting Rights Act that were struck down last year by the Supreme Court.
"We welcome his comments," said Henderson. But he added, "there's a question of whether his statements have genuine impact."

Kris Humphries Injures Shoulder, Prognosis Troublingby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Here's some good news for Kris Humphries: the reality star/power forward won't be getting booed in Boston tomorrow night.
The bruising Nets starter sat out yesterday's game against the Nets due to a sore shoulder, and coach Avery Johnson says an MRI is scheduled for Kim Kardashian's ex, who won't even accompany the team to Beantown this week.
"Hopefully we'll get some good news," Johnson said. "It's not looking good right now because he barely can move his shoulder, so again we'll have to hope and pray it's nothing serious."
Following a season-opening victory, New Jersey has dropped five straight. Humphries is averaging 12.4 points an 10 rebounds per game in the early going, hearing boos everywhere he goes on the road.
Things aren't much better in Kris' personal life, as E! aired the Kourtney and Kim Take New York episode this week in which Humphries gets into trouble by questioning Jonathan Cheban's sexual orientation.
I like Kris H but he was like a dog with a bone. He just kept asking Jonathan and everyone in earshot about Jonathan's sexuality. He would not let it go! Kim was no angel either. Just because a guy (Jonathan) doesn't look at a girl (Kim) undressing, does not make him gay. To each his own.....
To CDelgado....ummmm these so called women Kim and Kourtney are disrespectful, crass bitches who deserve everything they get. Look at how they treat each other especially their own mother, if anything you should be mad at that. I would never speak to my mother the way these dumb asses do. Kris Humphries unfortunately got involved with this family and is lucky to have gotten out of it as quickly as he could or he would have ended up like Bruce and Scott browbeaten and pushed around! Again these so called women are not REAL WOMEN! Also, making the comment about someone "riding the short bus" makes you just as disrespectful and ignorant as those dumb ass Kardashians that you are siding with! FAIL for you!!!!
And with the kardashians, everything has been handed to them so its hard to sit and watch ppl bitch that nvr worked for shit in there lives so I'd prob hoe her family to.
@ C Yea I guess its ez to sit there n hate, idk how u can say someone rode the short bus when the dude went to college and he's in the nba makin more ina year then u will in ur lifetime.and the kardashians are nothin but abunch os idiots and gold diggers from the ma on down, they only thing that makes them $$$ is there last name and the fact there willing to hoe themselves to the media and they learned that from paris hilton so that they didn't even come up with idea themselves. So humphries graduated hs went to college and plays in the NBA maybe ppl should listen to him instead of hatin him cuz he's done a lot at an early age on his own! So maybe ur the one that rode the short bus
Lmao...this is a goofy looking dude..I bet he rode the short bus to school. And his mouth is wreckless! This things he was saying to Jonathan Cheban was ignorant. And the shit he says to Kim about her family is pure disrespect an she sits there just not saying anything to him...smh...like a idiot! His ass would've gotten the business from me for speaking on my family. I don't know if its ignorance or arrogance half the time with this toddler but u can most definitely see on Kim & Kourtney take New York why this went south

Outside CounselLewis Tesser and Timothy Nolen, New York Law Journal
Does UCC §2-306 Limitation Apply to Overestimates?
Lewis Tesser and Timothy Nolen write: Uniformly, courts have held that UCC §2-306 permits buyers in requirements contracts to order more goods than estimated unless the order is made in bad faith or is "unreasonably disproportionate" to a stated estimate. Courts, however, are split on whether the "unreasonably disproportionate" limitation applies to orders which are substantially lower than estimated.

Few roads are likely to
have been made before industry and settlement
expanded in the 17th century, though there was
presumably a way leading north from Watling
Street to Wombridge priory, perhaps on the line
of the later Hadley Road. Priorslee probably grew
up beside the road from Watling Street to Shifnal,
first mentioned in 1335. (fn. 70)
Watling Street and the road via Priorslee to
Shifnal were turnpiked in 1726. The latter,
bounding Snedshill coppice to the west, was
replaced in 1730 by a 'new road', the later Canongate, running across the coppice. (fn. 71) About 1820 it
in turn was replaced by a new road to the
south-west as part of the Holyhead road improvements. The first part of the new road, built c.
1817, left Watling Street at Pottersbank, Ketley,
and rejoined the existing Shifnal road at Snedshill
along the later Church Road; about 1824 the new
road was extended from Snedshill to Priorslee;
and c. 1826 the length to Shifnal was completed. (fn. 72)
Apparently associated with the Holyhead road
improvement was the construction of a road
running south-west from Watling Street at Pain's
Lane to join it at Snedshill, the limit of the
improvement of c. 1817. That road, the later
Stafford Street, was apparently turnpiked by
1831, allowing traffic along Watling Street to
bypass Oakengates to the south. (fn. 73)
At Teague's Bridge a sectional iron bridge was
erected where the road (later Teague's Bridge
Lane) crossed the Wombridge Canal, perhaps not
long after the canal's construction in 1788. (fn. 74)
In 1931-2 the St. George's bypass was built
under a government unemployment relief
scheme. (fn. 75) Several major new roads were built
following the designation of Telford new town in
1968. Queensway, partly built along the former
Coalport branch railway, opened northwards to
the Hollinswood interchange in 1971, to the
Greyhound interchange, Ketley Bank, in 1975-6,
and to the Wombridge interchange north of the
church in 1981. A ring road around the centre of
Oakengates was completed in 1975. The M 54
motorway, opened to the south of Oakengates,
terminated in the east at Priorslee in 1975. Work
to link it eastwards to the M 6 at Essington
(Staffs.) was completed in 1983. (fn. 76)
A network of canals and railways linked mines
and ironworks in the Oakengates area with each
other and with outside markets. They were built
over unsuitable terrain that necessitated the construction of frequent tunnels, bridges, and inclined planes. In 1788 William Reynolds completed the 2½-km. Ketley Canal linking Ketley
ironworks with mines near Oakengates, and c.
1788 he built the 3-km. Wombridge Canal connecting mines near Wombridge church with the
Donnington Wood furnaces and the Donnington
Wood Canal. About 1790 the Shropshire Canal
opened; it ran south from the junction of the
Donnington Wood and Wombridge canals and
linked up with the Ketley Canal before passing
through Oakengates to the Severn. The coalfield
was given access to the county town by the
Shrewsbury Canal, which opened fully in 1797;
a section from Trench Pool to Long Lane, linked
to the existing Wombridge Canal by the 223-yd.
long Trench inclined plane which allowed boats
to descend 75 ft., opened in 1794. (fn. 77)
The section of the Wombridge Canal not incorporated in the Shrewsbury Canal probably
became disused c. 1819. The Ketley Canal was
abandoned in the mid 19th century but the Ketley
inclined plan had closed by 1818, preventing
access past that point. (fn. 78) The Shropshire Canal
required considerable attention in the early 1850s;
leaks were common and the canal was said to have
broken through into the underlying Wellington-
Wolverhampton railway in 1855, draining the
summit level and flooding Oakengates. It was
replaced in 1860 by the Coalport branch railway. (fn. 79)
The Trench inclined plane closed in 1921, effectively marking the end of the Shrewsbury Canal;
latterly the only regular traffic carried by the canal
was flour to the mill at Wrockwardine Wood. (fn. 80)
A horse-drawn railway was built in 1747 on the
Charltons' Oakengates estate from the Horsepasture mines, north-east of the settlement, probably
to a wharf on Watling Street. (fn. 81) Among many
railways of the earlier 19th century was that
running eight miles from Hollinswood to Sutton
wharf on the Severn, (fn. 82) and those to the Shrewsbury Canal west of the Trench inclined plane, (fn. 83)
and from Priorslee to the Wrockwardine Wood
inclined plane. (fn. 84)
In 1849 the Shrewsbury & Birmingham (later
G.W.R.) line from Wellington to Wolverhampton
opened after completion of a tunnel 471 yd. long
south of Oakengates. (fn. 85) In 1857 the Coalport
Branch Railway Co. (later L.N.W.R.) obtained
permission to buy the decaying Shropshire Canal,
and replaced it with the Coalport branch line from
Hadley junction, which opened for freight in 1860
and for passengers in 1861. The G.W.R.'s goods
branch from Hollinswood to Stirchley, known at
first as the Old Park line, opened in 1908 and
closed in 1959. Both companies had stations in
Oakengates: Oakengates Market Street
(L.N.W.R.) closed for passengers in 1952 and for
goods in 1964, while Oakengates (G.W.R.),
known as Oakengates West between 1951 and
1956, closed for goods in 1965. Stops at Hollinswood on the lines of both former companies
closed in 1964, Wombridge halt on the old
L.N.W.R. line also shutting in that year. (fn. 86)
Railways were vital to the local extractive and
manufacturing industries. Between 1851 and 1855
the basis of the Lilleshall Co.'s extensive private
railway system was laid, linking Priorslee and
Snedshill with the company's other enterprises in
the area. (fn. 87) From 1856 Hollinswood, adjacent to
Priorslee furnaces, became an important marshalling yard, linked to the G.W.R. (fn. 88) Many smaller firms also had sidings from the main lines. (fn. 89)

This was the first flight for the Piper airplane in the last 3 months, during which time, it was parked on a ramp outside in the winter. The pilot reported that he performed a preflight inspection but that he did not sump the fuel system. The airplane's main fuel tanks were full with fuel, and the fuel selector valves were set to the main fuel tanks. Shortly after takeoff at an altitude of about 300 to 400 feet above ground level, the engine began to "sputter" with a corresponding partial loss of power. The pilot cycled the throttle control with no change in engine power and then turned back toward the airport. The airplane did not have sufficient altitude to reach a runway, so the pilot performed a gear-up landing onto a taxiway. After landing, the airplane slid across the taxiway surface and struck a taxiing Cessna airplane; both airplanes sustained substantial damage. Postaccident examination of the engine did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation, and it started and ran smoothly during a subsequent test run. Given the pilot's failure to sump the fuel system and the fact that the engine did not experience a total loss of engine power, it is likely that the fuel system became contaminated with water while the airplane sat on the ramp for the preceding 3 months.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

A New Found Glory All Downhill From Here Lyrics
Last updated: 03/23/2013 03:57:53 PM
You're hiding something, cause it's burning through your eyes
I try to get it out, but all I hear from you are lies
And I can tell you're going through the motions
I figured you were acting out your part
Once again, we're playing off emotion
Which one of us will burn until the end?
Catalyst, you insist to pull me down
You contradict the fact that you still want me around
And it's all downhill from here
And it's all downhill from here
Your good intentions slowly turn to bitterness
Reoccurring episodes with each and every kiss
(Lets go!)
And I can't believe you pulled it off again
Or notice till it all sets in
You'll deny it 'til you're at your bitter end
And you keep pulling me down!
(pulling me down)
(pulling me down)
You contradict the fact that you still want me around
And it's all downhill from here
And it's all downhill from here
To Tom | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/22/13
Uhm... Do you have any idea what you're talking about? Nothing of what you said was true. Kanye's song had nothing to do with abuse, nor did it have anything to do with a breakup. Did you even listen to the song? or read the lyrics on a website at least?
The bands from New Found Glory are not active gang members, Jordan is married with a son.
Chad has been with Hayley Williams
And everyone else has their own families as well! Do you even know what punk music is? Or music in general?
Anyways this is a great song and the first song I ever listened to from New Found Glory, I've loved their music ever since.
The Thing Most NFG Fans Don't Know | Reviewer: Tom | 3/15/09
Every single member of New Found Glory is an active gang member and they've been that way since their late teens. Before they got a record deal they made two albums as a hardcore metal band, and after the record companies got through with them they turned into a punk band just by changing tunings and a few chords and drum beats. These lyrics are NOT about what people think they are, the music makes it seem nicer, and more mainstream, and they get more money from bubblegum rock fans and such. So look beyond the music, look at the lyrics about probably 89% of their songs (the newest or maybe two newest albums changed in lyric motive due to the fact that their used to silly easy going songs) are about something violent, disgusting, and cold. The perfect example of situations like this is Kayne West. Stronger was written with the intentions of about beating up his girlfriend during a breakup. It makes sense when you take the lyrics into perspective. Peace, and thank you for taking time to read this.

While Dragon Blade is not like God of War it does have some similarities, at least in the entertainment areas.
While the graphics are rather plain, the sound is quite good. I never got tired of the main adventure theme, and the thunderclap of your magical dragon appendages displacing the air with their glowing energy is the perfect effect.
This game isn't worth $45 or $50, but it does have a small degree of potential.
Modern action games are expected to be stylish, thrilling, customizable, and visually compelling, and Dragon Blade comes up wildly short in most regards. There's surely a market for titles that feature punishingly difficult, fast-paced battles and little else, but most gamers will likely tire of this drab experience long before the final battle.
It's good to see a developer at least trying to break the mold on the system, but Dragon Blade is far too archaic and bland to appeal to either side of the Wii equation.
Unfortunately even at 40 bucks, the price is about 30 too much and the game can't be relied upon to provide anything other than brief moments of cool sandwiched between hours and hours of frustrating mediocrity. Dragon Blade isn't budget—it's low rent.

AntonioG.Feb 8, 2008A great, well designed and fun game that grows on you the more you play. A great buy at $40 (which I paid for it), and an even better value now at $20 at Amazon.com… Collapse
RobH.Oct 5, 2007Better than the pros will ever rate it, because they value graphics over basic fun. Exclusive to Wii, this fun brawler deserves a place in the Wii library.… Expand
EricL.Oct 25, 2007Overall a fun experience for Wii users who value entertainment over graphics and gimmickry - it is challenging for those of us not a part of the gaming generation.… Expand
HeathR.Sep 30, 2007This is actually one of the most fun and challenging games I've ever played in recent years. The presentation isn't very good at all ... but the controls and difficulty really make up for it.… Expand
Jul 13, 2012This game isn't a mindless hack and slash it's a game where you have to actually think about the moves you make. If you just start attacking you'll get killed pretty fast. The controls do get frustrating especially when you are trying to kill a boss, but if you turn down the sensitivity in the options they work A LOT better. It is mission based and the missions are point A to point B, but there are armor pieces you can find when you look around.This game reminds me a lot of the summoner on the PS2 because the combat and the graphics are a bit similar. Its a pretty good game for the Wii.… Expand
SteveT.Oct 1, 2007Overall it is an OK game. The graphics are sub par, but at least they don't lock up. The controlls are so-so. They are fun, but not always accurate. I do find my self getting excited during the big battles. This game can be challenging at times. For most part though it looks like it suffers from a lack of devlopment or budget. It could have been much more with more of both. Who knows? I would say rent this one if you are curious or bored. You're not missing much.… Expand
