TenPoint Carbon Fusion CLS ACUdraw Crossbow Package
The TenPoint® Carbon Fusion CLS boasts the industry's first woven carbon fiber barrel—a lighter, quieter, stronger manufacturing technology that puts this crossbow at the front of the pack. This barrel, along with other structural refinements, eliminates a remarkable 20 oz. from the original CLS design. The carbon barrel is fitted with threaded aluminum rivet nuts which ''float'' the barrel inside the stock to reduce noise and vibration transmission between the barrel, stock, and shooter. It also features an extruded aluminum trigger mount fitted inside the rear of the barrel cavity. In addition, the barrel's flight deck has an extremely low coefficient of friction that promotes improved string life The Carbon Fusion CLS relies on the Compact Limb System (CLS) to create a 185-pound technology-driven power plant that shoots 345 fps and generates 111 foot-pounds of kinetic energy. The Carbon Fusion CLS, double-dip fluid imaged in Realtree APG®, is also fitted with the patented GripSafety to guard against dry fires. Axle-to-Axle: 20.5''. Stock length: 38.5''. Weight: 7.2 lbs.
Manufacturer model #: C13002-4112.
Package includes: TenPoint's RangeMaster Pro scope mounted on a machined aluminum 7/8'' fixed dovetail mount; patented ACUdraw cocking mechanism; instant detach 3-arrow quiver; ambidextrous side-mount quiver bracket; Pro Elite carbon fiber arrows with practice points; deluxe soft crossbow case; TenPoint's exclusive BowJax crossbow noise dampening kit; GripGuard safety shield; instructional DVD; and TenPoint vehicle window sticker.

UN: Special Rapporteurs urge states to stop using culture to justify violence
In recent years, there have been an increased and explicit recognition of some forms of violence against women in international and national courts as amounting to torture and ill-treatment, the best known examples being rape by private or public actors in conflict or in custodial settings. Other forms of violence against women, such as physical or sexual violence in an intimate relationship or female genital mutilation, if committed with the acquiescence of the State, may qualify as torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment as well.
The term "torture" carries a strong protection potential since it brings with it a considerable stigma and triggers well-established international legal obligations for the State, derived notably from the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. These include obligations to criminalize acts of torture, prosecute perpetrators and provide reparation to victims.
International standards to combat violence against women, including the UN Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women, contain an obligation to condemn and prevent all forms of violence against women, independently of whether acts are perpetrated by the State or a private person, and give specific guidance on how obstacles to gender based violence can be overcome.
These sets of instruments and standards should be used more systematically to inform and strengthen one another. If taken together they will considerably reinforce women's protection from violence and render it more effective, as well as contribute towards transforming unequal patriarchal values and structures that underlie acts of violence and discrimination against women.
In our capacities of Special Rapporteurs on Violence against Women and Torture, we appeal to the international community, to States, and civil society to make full use of all existing instruments and mechanisms in a comprehensive fashion, in order to ensure women the full protection from all forms of violence against them and their access to all available remedies."

Re: analysis of DN IP future strategy
One of the problems with this second chance Duke will probably get, and I hate to admit it, is Duke himself. A lot of his stuff doesn't work in 2011, although his character premise is still good, it's not executed well, and it certainly wasn't executed with that "You're ******" joke in DNF, now I like Duke, but that was just an assholish thing to say. Here's what you have to do to make him work in the present.
1) No more misogyny, Duke made jokes some jokes about women before, but they were never mean, they were never like they were in DNF. If anything, Duke seems like the guy that should beat the **** out of misogynistic assholes, they did this in the DLC though, so I think they recognize the issue.
2) No more stealing lines from movies, he can still have one liners, just make them original but at the same time, appropriately cliche and cheesy.
3) Make the Duke Nukem universe more crazy. Duke Nukem (at least in DNF) is an outlandish, cartoonish character in a rather bland and generic world.
4) Actual funny humor. I laughed a few times in DNF, but really, the bad jokes outweighed the good. Dick jokes can be done right, but in DNF they really weren't done that well. Oh yeah, and no more repeating lines from movies and passing that off as humor, that doesn't work, it hardly even worked back then. Make pop culture references, but make them clever, like "Shadows Of The Damned" did. However, again, I can see they're going in the right direction with this with "The Doctor Who Cloned Me" DLC.
5) Is it too much to ask that Duke actually tries to save the people he comes across under attack from the aliens...people other than women that is?
6) Be self aware. Take a few nods in the script to how stupid it all is. Crack a few jokes about Duke himself, or better yet, have Duke crack a few jokes about himself. Break the fourth wall a few times. Say something about how out of date the idea of one liners are. If you don't do a Duke game while being self aware, Duke just comes off as some crazy guy talking to himself.
Do all this, and I'm pretty sure the general public will like Duke Nukem again in all his glory. He can still have his sarcastic, slightly vulgar, take **** from no one attitude, he'll just be less of an asshole while doing it. I'm not entirely sure if the misogyny was part of DNF only, I don't remember him really being that mean to women in his previous games, but we need to get Duke back on track, and the gaming community will accept him back.
Oh yeah, and make it OLD SCHOOL!

Re: analysis of DN IP future strategy
I agree with alot of the above conceptually, and some of how it might could be done. (by the Shredder of Neos )
In my mind it comes down to knowing the difference between Arrogance and confidence.
These things are black and white to me... and Duke 3D was always confident, but not totally lacking humility, as he is usually talking to himself or stating something "AFTER" the fact... like "Rest in Pieces." after that gibb... but never ranting or "talking smack". He just did it, then comment.
Duke Nukem 3D never came across as "silly" or "arrogant" within the context of the Duke Nukem 3D world... Duke Nukem Forever, Duke, was not this way, in my opinion.
Example of the exact same concept in another game... GTA III, never stepped over a certain boundary with sexual innuendo, and its suggestive nature. Liberty City Stories was amazingly vulgar and I can't even play it with children about... they got WAY out of line on that one, and it really hurts the game for me.

Re: analysis of DN IP future strategy
Yeah, but his one liners are still a problem. The reason being, that everybody in the DNF universe is like "HOLY ******' ****, DUKE NUKEM AHHHH!". They have to pretty much what I said with the original, not stolen one liners, but they also need to either A) Make Duke Nukem's universe crazier B) Make it extremely self aware of how stupid it is, or best C) Do both.
The problem is that Duke Nukem is an outlandish character in a bland world. They need to make it apparent that this world is not our world, and some guy spouting extremely cheesy one liners is still considered cool by the general public in this game world. In DNF, they don't do this. Other than the character of Dylan and the aliens, this world feels way too normal. The only reason it worked in the older Duke games, was that we never really got to see any of the world at all. The character of Duke can't work in a "normal" world, because let's be honest, in a "normal" world, Duke Nukem would be considered ******* insane. Now, just look at, say," Borderlands". Every character in that game is ******* insane, from Cl4ptr4p, to TK, to Dr. Zed, to Mad Moxxi. Another example would "Shadows Of The Damned", it starts off with the Demon King making a lot of dick jokes, then Garcia making a bunch of dick jokes, then his flaming, floating, British skull sidekick transforming into a motorbike and driving him into hell. Duke Nukem Forever begins with Duke Nukem being complimented by everyone in the world, preparing for a talkshow, then he fights aliens. All the people he's complimented by look and act completely normal. All the other characters in the game besides Dylan and Duke look and act completely are normal.
This is why I disagree with you at that point, Duke Nukem can't NOT come across as silly, the very character of Duke himself is outlandish, I mean, just look at him. I agree that he shouldn't be arrogant, he should be confident once more, not arrogant, but it's impossible for the character of Duke to come off as even a little bit normal, so what I'm saying is, make everything around him abnormal, so it would make sense that Duke fits as a celebrity within that world. The aliens certainly look absurd enough, what with the Pigcops and the Cycloid Emperor, but they don't do anything outlandish. At least in Duke Nukem 3D one of the aliens swore at you, in DNF, they do nothing.
"Shadow's Of The Damned" was also very self aware. It took nods in the script to say stuff like "Yeah, we know this is stupid, it's supposed to be that way" or "Yeah, we know, he makes really bad jokes". In DNF, they don't do this. The fourth wall breaking only takes place near the end of the game, and that's too late to start being self aware. Hell, even the Duke Nukem comic book was more self aware than this, with the scientist touching on how Duke hides behind "false bravado". The comic book even had a crazier premise than DNF, where Duke travels back in time and has to fight aliens and ninja nazis all while stopping the people that live in the Earth's core from building a giant war machine to take over the world! The comic book did Duke more justice than DNF actually did. The script needs to take a few nods and say "Yeah, we know this is stupid" or "Yeah, we know Duke's one liners are incredibly cheesy". Or just break the fourth wall a few times throughout the game, just don't wait so long to do it. Once again though, they actually took a few nods in the DLC, so I'm guessing they recognized this problem as well.

Re: analysis of DN IP future strategy
I also feel the game was scary to play. & this feeling was like tempting you to play anyway. To go underwater & crap your pants when an octobrain was coming (with their screams!)
So I agree with you in that.
But about Gearbox's budget & sales, I don't think that this is actually a turning point. I think they are capable of developing professional games & they got the licence of a very important game. I don't know who was responsible of the game's flaws (3DR, Gearbox, whoever). It doesn't matter to me either. But 1st of all many main things that brought success to DN3D (& to DNF 2000 trailer among the fans) were not present in DNF.
I don't say DNF should have been a modern copy of DN3D, I just think that if you were successfull when creating a wheel & that changed the world; if you remove it you are regressing...
Wanted to make something different? ADD things. Improve things. But don't remove successfull things... Don't go backwards with level design, weapons, items, freedom... In DN3D you break walls & hydrants (& water goes off them). In DNF you can't.
Mario Bross is less linear than DNF!!! I hit the nail with this one, didn't I?!!!

Re: analysis of DN IP future strategy
Also apparently its gonna be ported to the consoles?
But imo that just wont work
Not because of the level structure(which imo has never been good in the ss series) but because the gameplay is just ******* demanding
I remember trying out the PS2 SS game and FFS i couldnt get past the first stage
]IMO the gameplay on a console just doesnt work due to the fast paced nature of it
The FPS genre wasnt built on killstreaks and tactical nukes.
It was built with bullets, blood and heaving tits.

Re: analysis of DN IP future strategy
Yes, it is a very sad thing.
SS3:BFE has one of the best SP Campaigns I have played in a looong time...
I mean Seriously, the Last Level has more enemies in it than all the CoD's put together. It has perfect pacing, the weapons are powerful, the enemies are varied and powerful, the gameplay is hectic, it stays true to its roots, it is funny, the levels are HUGE, the sprinting is fast, MP is fun and surprisingly the plot is quite good too !
It is the perfect Old School game, and yet, it wasn't a blockbuster hit. (Though it sold quite well !)
Yes, it was recently ported to Mac, and is being ported to XBox 360/PS3 soon !
So, yes making an "Old School" game will not be what GBX would want to do with DN5. They want to earn bucketloads of money, not please a handful of fans !

Re: analysis of DN IP future strategy
Just no
Serious Sam does not have good pacing nor is it old school
Old school is not about the character or the destruction no matter what the marketing hype made you think
Old school is characterized by these things
Brilliant complex level design
Good pacing within these levels
And genius enemy placement
SS has never done any of this
SS3 starts out as a corridor shooter then at the halfway point it turns into an arena shooter
It does not posses good pacing AT ALL unless you mean a good sense of escalation which it does provide but it is not the same as good pacing within its levels
A GOOD new old school game would be Bioshock
SS is not old school rather its based on custom doom and DN3D maps and mods people would make
Dont get me wrong its still good(SS2 can go the **** away though)
The FPS genre wasnt built on killstreaks and tactical nukes.
It was built with bullets, blood and heaving tits.

3 Responses to 5 Critical Nonprofit PR Strategy Tips for Marketing to Millennials (DATA)
Kurt Koller
Did you know Gilmore and Pine expanded that article into a full book called The Experience Economy? They talked about a further economy beyond the experience economy called the transformation economy. Transformation economies incorporate the experience economies (the ones that give you the sense of "I feel good being here") and add a developmental/growth dimension ("I feel like a good being here"). The idea is that economic exchanges of this sort make us better, or at least open up potentials for such exchanges that encourage interior growth–exchanges of kindness, of mutual self-worth, of reflective action, etc. I think this is the sort of economy that can occur more readily in those places you are always frequenting, since they already are primed with a developmental/learning focus.
(Pine also wrote another book called Mass Customization, which sketches economies that customize/personalize on a larger scales. This one drags a little here and there, but might provide some insights for your work).
Anyway, curious to hear if that resonates with your recent experiences in those places
Hi Kurt,
I have indeed read about the transformation economy and Gilmore and Pine's larger work in that arena! I think that it is absolutely relevant for zoos, aquariums and museums right now – especially with regard to approaching how to engage the millennial generation in addition to the broader population (and larger business sphere) that are discussed in Pine and Gilmore's writings. Needless to say, I think they may be onto something…
I will have to look into Pine's Mass Customization. Thanks for the tip! I'm looking forward to tracking it down and digging in. The idea behind this, as you describe it, seems to fit in well with the concept "massclusivity" and the current need to make mass communication feel personal and "special" for audience members. I'll report back. Thanks again for the recommendation!
Darryl Schoeman
Dear Colleen,
Thanks for writing this post. And even more thanks for the great data attached to it; it makes your written work more authoritative. Well done.
As I sought to ask the question of who I wanted to reach and how I was going to reach them, I realised too that the millennials are in the near future but upon us already. And social media was/is key to reaching them. I have thus become very involved with advocating the use of social media within the Church.
So, whilst it digresses slightly from your nonprofit focus, your article has contributed much to my own focus.

Midterm season means high stress. Instead of coping with a bag of Cheetos or succumbing to a mental breakdown, try reading instead.
Studies show that reading is a powerful stress reducer. In fact, research suggests that a mere six minutes of reading can reduce stress levels by more than two thirds! That sounds like a stress-reducing tactic worth trying.
"But I don't have time to find a newspaper or go home to retrieve the book that's been sitting on my bedside table for a month," you might say. Not to worry. Last semester's issue of The Circle is now available online.
Take a break from your stressful studies, and instead of checking Facebook again, check out our Fall 2012 issue here.
Don't let stress get the best of you! Read!

DBX Radiation 56" Round Snow Tube 17 17
Great tube but... This tube is super fast and fun, but popped a giant hole in it very easily. It isn't durable at all. If it touches a twig or anything else it will spring a leak. Had I known this I wouldn't have bought it. Maybe this is true for all tubes and I'm just clueless, but it is now a $40 hunk of junk plastic. February 25, 2014
Is a Blast... Super Fast and Easy I was looking for a new tube to replace one of mine that reached the end of its life... This one was a perfect fit! Super fast and east to blow up and to deflate! The tube held up under rough conditions, from the smaller kids doubling up to the 6foot big man, we put this tube to the test and it held up, exceeding my expectations. It was also the quickest tube flying down the hills, with the best distance as well. Definitely worth the price for the fun we had. Can't wait for our next big snow!!! February 20, 2014
Does not hold up We bought this tube and it worked great for the first 5 trips down the hill, but the 6th trip we ended up with a 6 inch gash on the bottom that we can not repair. There was not any stones or anything sharp on the trail either. This was such a waste of money I would not recommend this tube to anyone!! February 16, 2014
This thing is RAD! My family (3) needed a new raft sled, found this one. Not only is it FAST down the hills it also can fit all 3 of us! It's awesome and the seams feel very sturdy. The blow-up mechanism is one of the better ones I've used before. I would highly recommend this February 6, 2014
Disappointed 30 minutes out into the snow and this tube let us down. The handle actually popped right off leaving us with nothing to sled with the rest of the day. I'm hoping I can take this back and get a full refund! very disappointing!! January 30, 2014
Not winter or kid resistant The tube is difficult to inflate. The first time out on a hill a stick cut the bottom. Not worth the money. January 28, 2014
So Bad! Cold resistant handles it has but the rest can't stand up. 15 degrees out and the first trip down the hill, two holes. I could understand one if we happened to hit something sharp but two? The plastic must not be made for temperatures below freezing even though it is sold as a snow sled. After deflating it was brittle. I bought it for my son's Birthday party with his friends and they were so disappointed when it only made it down the hill one time. I'm returning it tomorrow and don't want any hassles. January 5, 2014
do not buy Let my 45lb cousin ride 2 times down a hill and it exploded do not buy!waste of 40$ December 15, 2013
Broke on first run This tube developed a 1" gash the very first time we rode it. We got 2 runs down a hill and on the third, it broke. Looking at the other reviews, I guess our experience isn't a fluke. Dick's should not be selling a tube of this low quality. Very disappointed with Dicks and I am going to find another sporting goods store. November 29, 2013
Nice tube Durable snow tube. Last one they had in the store. 25% off as it is the end of the season. Hours of enjoyment for my daughter. March 6, 2013

I know there's a thread somewhere already started about guns and people's gun preferences. However, I can't seem to find it, but I have a few questions. There is a store that is selling a .475 Wildey for $1100 which seems like a pretty good price. I've read mixed reviews on the Wildey. Anyone own one of these or have fired one of these? I'm thinking about maybe buying it but I'm just not sure it's worth the money. I've also read that Wildey Guns has gone under even though their web site makes it look like they are a viable company. Any knowledge about this gun or the company is much appreciated.

As we had new arriving guests coming to stay with us for four nights it was again interesting to realise how awesome their first day must have been. Firstly during their transfer in our open vehicles from the airport into the reserve, they were lucky enough to be welcomed by a massive male leopard walking down the road. This of course made them very eager to get out there and maybe they somewhat expected the safari's to get even better.
Luckily our game viewing, as usual didn't disappoint, and soon after we left for our first safari we got news of another leopard sighting with a mother and her cub. Obviously our guests were overwhelmed with joy, as not even they expected to see three different leopards in their first couple of hours here.
After dark, as we were heading back to the lodge, we came across a Serval, which is also quite a well sought after sighting.
Truly a first day they will never forget…
Jeffrey Mmadi
Ranger – Kapama Lodge
On last nights safari we had quite a couple of unexpected sightings. Besides tracking a pride of lionesses and following them into the sunset, chuckling at their playfulness, we also came across a Serval walking down the road. These long legged cats are quite rare to see as they tend to hide away very quickly as soon as they detect humans or vehicles. They have distinctly large ears which are very useful in helping them detect and locating rats, mice and other vertebrates in long grass. Serval's are also considered to be some of the best "jumpers" in nature, and it's amazing to actually watch them "pluck" guinea fowl or other birds from the air in mid flight, sometimes as high as 3 metres above the ground.
Just before sunset we came across a Puff adder, one of the most dangerous snakes in Africa, soaking up the last rays from the sun and the radiant heat from the road. Into the evening we saw a flapnecked chameleon clinging for dear life onto a branch being whipped around in quite a strong breeze. A very amusing sight….
Sebastiaan Jansen Van Vuuren
Ranger – Kapama Main lodge
With our previous litter of lion cubs now being roughly 22 months old, their mother has now become pregnant again! The last sighting we had of her was about 2 weeks ago and we could see that she is lactating heavily. She headed into the area where she gave birth to her last litter and we haven't seen her since. We are all waiting in aticipation for the next time we see her, hopefully with new cubs running around her feet, and some photos to share!
Watch this space, we will keep you updated..
Tim Verryenne
Head Ranger – Kapama Lodge
As we departed from the lodge this morning we had only one intention and that was to find a male lion as there had not been a sighting for a few days now. I started driving off to the Southern part of the reserve looking for new tracks of the male lion. Luckily enough we sighted the tracks of both male and female lion.
As we were busy discussing the tracks we came across three African Civets that seemed to still be quite young. We were very amazed to see these kind of animals and especially that they were so relaxed with us being there. They are quite abundant throughout the reserve, but remain in the "not so often seen" catagory. Because of this we thought ourselves to be very lucky to find not one but three of them together, and that in broad daylight..!
Everyone was very excited at this point as the Civets vanished into the grass. We decided to carry on searching for lion tracks, and after about an hour and a half we spotted both the male and female lions together. A perfect ending to an already amazing drive.
Some of the most memorable sightings are often of the smaller game; this includes the spiders and insects and other creepy crawlies found all over the reserve. This morning we witnessed a spider hunting wasp landing in the web of a golden orb spider. Everyone expected the spider to catch the wasp, but it turns out that the wasp ended up the victor. The wasp managed to sting and paralyze the spider.
Both the spider and the wasp then ended up on the ground where the wasp proceeded to drag the spider off to a place where the now paralyzed but still alive spider could be buried. Wasps are known to lay their eggs and bury them along with spiders and caterpillars as food for their larvae, but this is not an occurrence that is often witnessed, and we were lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

It's A Super Battle of the Bands Weekend on Q105!
Getting ready for some football? Are you in for the Ravens, or the 49er's? Here at Q105, we're getting ready, too-with our Super Battle of the Bands Weekend. Every hour we'll match-up East and West Coast bands, and let you decide the winners. And we'll have a final score, before kick off in the Big Easy.
Here's a preview. Steely Dan vs. The Grassroots. And, I have to tell you-for me, this is a toughie. I loved the music of both bands, Steely Dan's first albums were a staple in the dorm rooms, and yet The Grassroots were one of the first bands whose record I played in college radio!
In the end, I go with The Grassroots. In the early 2000's, I became friends with Rob Grill and his wife Nancy, while doing broadcasts at Walt Disney World's Flower Power concerts. We shared a lot of laughs, he told some great stories; and it was a sad day when Rob passed away back in 2011. Love to Nancy-and thanks to Rob for great musical, and personal, memories.
Now it's your turn to decide. Check the videos of Steely Dan and The Grassroots-an actual song for song match-up you'll hear this weekend on Q105. Enjoy!

A friend said Min Pins will die after thier 5th or 6th litter. Is this true? How old is too old for them to have puppies?
Awesome! Thank you! I just got an older Min Pin who has been retired from breeding and she's now a wonderful companion for me. I was just curious if this odd "fact" my friend told me was true. It seemed strange but then again, who knows! Thank you to everyone!

A drive-by download is when a malicious web site you visit downloads and installs software without your knowledge. The objective of drive-by downloads is usually to install malware to record what you type and what sites you visit, to search your computer for stored passwords, or to open your computer to remote control. This is currently the most prevalent threat, and one that is hard to guard against.
Drive-by download's are often, though not always, found on sites that could be labeled more promiscuous (gambling, gossip, or other less savory topics). That said, even otherwise legitimate sites can be hijacked into hosting drive-by downloads with third-party ads; Expedia.com and Rhapsody.com both learned this the hard way in 2008. See Internet Safety is Our Shared Responsibility.
Google reported, in 2007, one in ten Internet sites hosted a drive-by download. In 2008, Sophos (a major antivirus vendor) estimated that 6,000 newly infected sites appear every day.
Modern browsers take several defensive steps against drive-by downloads. Most will prominently warn of executable programs and offer a safe course of action. Even with these aids, it's important to be wary of any site offering to download or run something you haven't consciously selected.
Some browsers will refuse to directly execute software received while browsing, instead forcing you to save it to your hard drive, to be examined by an antivirus program. When this is the case, if you attempt to run that program later, even after you've finished browsing, you may be prompted with stern warnings about untrustworthy content.
One common configuration makes drive-by downloads particularly effective at introducing hostile software: using the web when you are logged into your computer as an administrator. If you can install software applications, modify your computer's configuration, or perform administrative functions (create accounts, change passwords other than your own, monitor system and network activity, etc.), then you're logged in as an administrator. This means anything run during your web browsing session will have the same privileges on your computer as you do.
Using the web without administrative rights greatly reduces both the risk of a successful drive-by download, as well as the potential damage should one succeed. Learn how to manage administrative rights:
Look for https://
Any site asking you to transmit personal information, such as credit card numbers, should always have a URL starting with https:// (note the s), rather than http://. If it does not have the s, what you send over the network is not encrypted. Don't do business there. Of course, just because a site uses encryption does not guarantee it is secure. It's still possible that the entire site is a scam.

Subaqueous - "Gypsy Splash"
Ah, Seattle... the home of grunge, frequent drizzles, fine purveyors of coffee, and of course its ethnic middle eastern inspired electronic... gypsy rhythms?
...checks notes...
Yes, as it turns out, that is indeed the case with Gypsy Splash, the lead single off of Subaqueous' upcoming album Immerge, which does indeed seem to attempt to sink you into a hypnagogic poppy-milk trance state of mermaid-snakes and curved hedge mazes. Wait, how good exactly has Seattle's coffee gotten since my last visit...
Immerge drops May 22nd.

It had a middle eastern vibe to it, but I dig the cover art a lot. Not strictly speaking related, but The Offspring have this guitar riff that shows up on a lot of their albums that has a similar vibe to it.Delete

From the article:
We recently released the findings of our bipartisan report on the
terrorist attack in Benghazi, which has now been shared with the
First, our report finds the threat level was "flashing red" in Libya, and Benghazi particularly, as Undersecretary of State for Management Patrick F. Kennedy told us.
The thousands of pages of classified and unclassified documents we
reviewed and interviews we conducted depict a crescendo of evidence from
the intelligence community and State Department personnel on the ground saying, effectively, "This place is dangerous, and we're not adequately protected."
Second, the terrorists essentially walked into the compound unimpeded and set it ablaze because of the extremely poor security.
This stark reality shaped our investigation as we sought to understand
how each layer of security typical at diplomatic posts around the world
broke down so completely and quickly in Benghazi. We believe the
closed-circuit television video of the attack, which shows this failure
in real time, should be released to the public, because it will make
clear how unprepared the State Department was for this attack.
That's right. The State Department was totally unprepared for a attack in Benghazi Libya! A war torn region was UN-prepared! Now I ask you. Where was our President Obama??? Nobody seems to know. Furthermore nobody seems to be ready to take responsibility! Someday maybe Hillary Clinton will testify. That has yet to happen.
In the meantime the Lap-Dog-Media is doing what it does best.....nothing. During Operation Gunrunner they did nothing. During the Benghazi Attack the Lap-Dog-Media did nothing. When an ex-Marine was arrested in Mexico last August and held in prison until almost Christmas the Lap-Dog-Media again did nothing! That simply is an act of arrogance from the Lap-Dog-Media and the Obama Administration!
We are the People of the United States of America and We the People deserve better!! It is time to Rise Up! Call/email your Congressman and Senators! Call the White House! Demand action and let them know that they work for us! 4 Americans were killed in Benghazi and someone must be held responsible!
God Bless America!

NEW HAMPSHIRE (WHDH) - A group of men and women in New Hampshire say they're just trying to help people avoid parking tickets, but Robin Hood and his merry men are looking at a lawsuit and could end up paying the price.
"When you save someone from a ticket people are really appreciative of that," said Garrett Ean, "Robin Hood of Keene".
The Robin Hooders patrol the streets of Keene searching for the parking officers and try to beat them -- with coins -- to the meter.
But the City of Keene apparently doesn't agree. The group says they were served with a lawsuit by the city, claiming they're harassing the parking officers.

Union County Sheriff's Office investigators are looking into the possibility of self defense in the shooting death of 37-year-old Gabriel Island Wednesday night at the hands of his wife, Velisa Island.
Following a verbal altercation between the couple at approximately 10 p.m. Wednesday, UCSO deputies were dispatched to 706 Wildwood Drive where they discovered the body of Gabriel Island on the living room floor, the apparent victim of a gunshot wound to the head.
Gabriel Island was transported to the Medical Center of South Arkansas where he was pronounced dead in the emergency room by Union County Coroner Curtis Butterfield, according to UCSO Chief Investigator Clark Burton.
Velisa Island has since been charged with manslaughter but due to a history of domestic violence in the couple's home, the prosecuting attorney has approved for her release on a citation while the investigation continues, Burton said.

With lists of abstruse weights and arcane measures, classifications of clouds and classical columns, instructions on how to wrap a sari and tie a bow tie, taxonomies of cattle brands, and summaries of ''Curious Deaths of Some Burmese Kings,'' Schott's Original Miscellany (Bloomsbury, $14.95) is a charmingly addictive 158-page curiosity cabinet. ''It's not trivia,'' insists Ben Schott, its 29-year-old curator (below). ''The book has no biggest, tallest, longest, deepest, most-poisonous lists. If it doesn't amuse me, I don't put it in: That's the selection criterion.''
A few years ago, the London-based portrait photographer made a deluxe, 16-page Christmas card of delightfully random facts. ''People seemed to be massively enthusiastic,'' he says. ''More than I thought was rational.'' After added hours of labor in The British Library, Schott assembled a volume that became a No. 1 best-seller in the U.K. last spring. He spent another five months upping the Americana for the new U.S. edition. (Goodbye, supplier of bagpipes to the Queen; hello, singers of the national anthem at the Super Bowl!)
Schott plots follow-up collections on sports and food: ''I've got a discussion of space food, of what exactly humble pie is, of why the Romans developed a taste for dormouse, of what different foods taste like.'' Pardon? ''Armadillo tastes of rabbit, badger tastes like mutton, reindeer tastes like veal.'' Thankfully, there won't be recipes.

"Brantley is viewed as some odd, shriveled, bitter Dickensian clerk."
Plus, he's "the bi-est guy in town."
If you thought theater actors took themselves too seriously, let Bartlett's absurd, messed-up zingers BLOW YOUR MIND.
Well, he began by talking about the "seeming effortlessness" of her work. This could go either way!
The 'Times' theater critic has reviewing movie stars on Broadway down to a formula.
John Stamos's and Gina Gershon's singing tends "to slide distractingly off key ... enough to make you want to hit your ear," he says.
Brantley: 'Is it too late to send a thank you note to Jeremy Piven?'
Oh, to be a 'Times' theater critic!
A London musical of 'The Harder They Come' makes us hope for a New York transfer.
The Caryl Churchill play gets a rave in today's 'Times,' but audiences may have another thing to say.
Ben Brantley declares Ben Daniels the star of 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses,' much to our surprise.
It's not often that you go into opening night already knowing that both critics for the 'Times' are already on record as disliking your show.

This was an excellent story! I liked that you kept details from JKR's ending to the series (Ginny and Draco's respective partners, Harry getting Draco off his charges, etc) but then deviated into your own story in a believable fashion. I loved the use of uncommon secondary characters, like Theo and Cormac, instead of Hermione, Ron, etc., and of course I especially loved Ginny's career and the realistic way she and Draco are initially confused and appalled by their feelings for one another. Beautifully written!
Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much. *hugs* I'm always really happy when a reader enjoys my AU take of DG and my use of minor characters. I do love using ones you don't read much about in HP fanfiction. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this. ^_^
Very enjoyable.
Author's Response: Thanks so much. :)
I loved it. I did not know that Draco had Muggle (or Squib) relatives. That was very telling:D Just reading about Ginny and Draco rocked my world. I wish I had a Draco but I probably wouldn't know what to do with him:D I hope you turn out some more stories that are inspired by this one. I especially loved the last paragraph and the last sentence.
Author's Response: If only we could live what we write. How awesome would that be? Methinks there would be a lot of harems... and dragons. Hehe. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing every chapter. *hugs* Really appreciated that. Hopefully I'll have more DG stories related to this world to post soon. :D
Wow. Once again I was the young 20-something dancing in the pub. The difference between me and Ginny is that I probably would've grabbed Draco by the front of his shirt and dragged him into my apartment:D I'd like to think I'm a little sluttier than Ginny:D And I go right for what I want:D Draco is so jealous. I guess he has trouble admitting things to himself.
Author's Response: Haha! I agree with you. I think it might be harder for Ginny, seeing on how Draco's always been her enemy. Plus, she's so much more stubborn than us. ;P A Malfoy jealous? Never! *deny deny deny* ;D
While this could be the end I hope it isn't. I want it to go on longer. It was nice that Ginny and Draco finally got to meet their attacker. The best part was when the attacker got into Ginny's apartment by picking the lock. Sometimes Muggle ways work.
Author's Response: Sometimes the easiest solution is the best solution. ;P Alas, the story is coming up on the end; however, I do plan writing a series of inter-connected one-shots based on the Scandal world. More cases, more DG. ;)
Are we going to see a new case, or just an ending to this one?
Author's Response: Ending. This fic was written for a deadline challenge, so I had less than a month to write it. Couldn't turn it into a series. ;) But I might be writing a series of interconnected one-shots based on this world, which would include new cases.
I love it when that happens--the presumptuous personal assistant walks in on Draco with an unimportant redhead that just woke up in his flat. Yvonne is up to something. If Draco can't use magic in his flat how was Ginny able to use the Penseive? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I just like to know things. There's usually a reason for something to be the way it is. I know the Weasley boys can drink a lot so it is a surprise that Ginny can't :D
Author's Response: You bring up a good point about the Pensieve. I' obviously having a rough go at putting up chapters on here lately because I put up an older version of this chapter. Instead of her viewing the Pensieve in his kitchen, it was supposed to be at the pool, where there are no magic-free wards placed. D'oh. All fixed now. And you're right about Yvonne, and Ginny not being a proper Weasley. I decided to make her the iron stomach like, who can handle a lot of alcohol, but gets drunk very easily. She's so tiny, after all. ;P And thank you for picking up on the Pensieve thing! *hugs* My brain is not working when it comes to uploading chapter on here.
So, we await developments.
Author's Response: They're coming. :)
I'd hate to be in Ginny's business and be exhausted. I'm sure they're all busy and tired most of the time but it seems like too many things happened recently and no one's getting rest. I wish I could walk in and talk to my ex like Ginny talks to Harry:D Or maybe not. Yvee is acting a little strange--taking liberties in talking to Draco the way she did. It sounded like she was jealous of Ginny or am I paranoid? Loved the chapter.
Author's Response: IKR? Ginny has a great relationship with her ex. Just another thing about Ginny to be jealous about. ;P As for Yvee, I won't say that your suspicions are unfounded. ;) Thanks so much for the review. :D
After your chapter mix-up you didn't have a review for this chapter and I couldn't let that stand unaddressed. I read this chapter again just to see it in the right context after reading the missing chapter. You have to wonder if it's really a kidnapping. Urara seemed to be in cahoots with the man beating Draco up.
Author's Response: Heheh, that's great. Thank you. :D And you do have to really wonder if it's a kidnapping. But I'm not saying anything! ;P
I must say that this chapter adds to the story. I remember reading the next chapter before and kind of wondering where some of these things came from. Like Draco, I hate having people touch my stuff. At work I'm constantly warning people to "don't touch my stuff" and "who took my pen?" Now I'm dreaming about the older brother. I agree with you--Asian men are hot and Native men are too. I hope that's not a racist remark:D Wonder who turned Draco in.
Author's Response: You and I are in total agreement, m'dear - Asian and Native men are hot! <3 Hehe. And Draco is so OCD, it's kinda cute. You'll eventually find out who turned him in. The next chapter is already up. Yay! o/
This is mean but I chuckled when Draco was being kicked around by a seemingly small Asian guy. I don't know why. I guess it seemed funny that the skilled Draco lost his wand and got physically beaten up. He was tired though, wasn't he? I wonder how long before they have breakfast in bed:D
Author's Response: Hehe. I think it's a requirement for Draco to get beaten up in any fic he's in. It makes us love him more. :D As for breakfast in bed, well... they're might be food and bed involved later on in the story. ;P
OMG. This story just gets better and better. I think I realized that Millie was Millicent Bullstrode about the same time Ginny did. Then I was like, no it can't be. Heck, I want to know how she lost weight and became so beautiful. I need to lose weight and maybe she's got some secret I should know. Is there anything Draco can't do, except maybe Ginny at the moment?:D I guess I shouldn't be shocked at him speaking Japanese. He sounds gorgeous. But back to Millie--if that cow can make herself look good I should be able to also. You've inspired me!
Author's Response: Yay for inspiration! o/ Haha! Poor, Millie. I assumed her gorgeous look probably had a little help from magic (and stylists). Plus, she just reminded me of those bigger-boned girls in school who all of the sudden turned gorgeous in university. I've met a few, who are my inspiration for Millie. :D As for Draco, he is too perfect, isn't he? Aside from his arrogance and perpetual gitness. ;)
Amazing as always. I think Theo was telling it as it was. Draco and Ginny might not know this yet but Draco is after Ginny. I didn't like seeing Ginny kind of back down but if I know Ginny, she'll figure out a way to come back out on top and Draco won't know what hit him.
Author's Response: Thank you, thank you. You'll find that Theo is brilliantly perceptive... as is another character you'll be reading about soon. ;) And I dunno about Ginny backing down. I'd like to think of it as her choosing the right battles. She will come back out on top, though. She's Ginny Weasley! ;D
OMG! Draco's an investor!! Ginny's firm should really take off now. I hope she doesn't reject the offer. This is brilliant!! And I have more chapters to read. I hope this is a longer story rather than a shorter one.
Author's Response: Oh, you know Ginny... wait, I guess she should reject the offer, knowing Ginny. Hehe. But this is a more mature Ginny. She'll find a way to get Draco to do what she wants... well, we hope. As for the length, it's a good one, and I do plan on posting a companion piece to it, composed of one-shots centring on Draco and Ginny and the scandals they solve... or have with one another. ;P
I'm 2/3 the way through this story but wanted to leave a review since I probably won't be able to read again until later. First of all, and pardon my French, but WTF?? I didn't know you had this many chapters up. How did I miss them on the Recent list? I'm excited to read but I regret not knowing. You know, I don't care how old the wizard is. I'd go sailing in French Polynesia any day. Today would be great. We could do with some warmth down here in SD. And what a fantastic prize for Ginny. Once again I live vicariously. I'll be grinning like a fool all afternoon and everyone at work will wonder what secret I'm hiding. See you in a bit.
Author's Response: Hehe, the chapters sneaked up on you, huh? Well, it just means the more for you to read. ;P And I agree with you about the trip sailing the French Polynesia. I'd be more than happy to go. Ginny did receive the best prize, though. ;P
I was confused like Draco until I read your reply to a review. I look forward to reading the rest of the story.
Author's Response: Lol. Yeah, re-posting can be confusing. I'm posting chapters as quickly as they can be approved. ;)
That was great. For a moment I was attending the gala. I was beautiful, rich, and graceful. I had a handsome escort and I was sipping champagne with Narcissa Malfoy. But then I landed back in South Dakota in the cold and snow, thinking about getting ready for work tomorrow. That lovely moment was worth it though. I'll be dreamy all evening. Thank you for giving me that.
Author's Response: Hahaha! Aww, poor you. I should say poor me too, cause I'd love to live vicariously through Ginny. ;D Thanks so much for the review. <3
I can't believe how smoothly Ginny turned everything around. Of course, Draco cooperated and was a convincing actor. I appreciate how quick and witty Ginny is. It seems that she can take on any problem and solve it.
Author's Response: She's smart as a whip, this Ginny. She's channelling her inner Olivia Pope. ;)
I know I read and reviewed this once before but the review isn't there any more. Oh well, it gave me a chance to read this chapter again:D Ginny reminds me of 'the Wolf' in Pulp Fiction played by Harvey Keitel. The Wolf went around and 'solved problems' or cleaned up after other criminals. Love this story so far.
Author's Response: You did read and review, but I ended up taking the fic down so that I could cut down the chapter lengths and add some extra scenes. Basically instead of my 7-10K chapters, they're 3-5K now. Heh. But you're right. Ginny is sorta like The Wolf, although thankfully she's not telling her staff to dispose of dead bodies. ;P

Customer Service
The first and most important step is to properly identify the cause. Barking is a perfectly normal behavior and dogs bark for many reasons. However, excessive or nuisance barking may be due to boredom or loneliness. For some dogs, it is a "learned" behavior, reinforced and rewarded with attention or treats that owners mistakenly think will pacify the dog. Determine the events that trigger nuisance barking and remedy the situation. If that is not feasible, a bark control device may be an option.

BusyBox: A Swiss Army Knife for Linux
BusyBox is most useful on a system without a set of regular Linux utility programs, but you'll probably be exploring it on a standard Linux system. Because of this, you should use the PREFIX variable when installing BusyBox. The installation process creates symbolic links for all the utilities that BusyBox supports. This allows you to enter ls instead of busybox ls. Suppose you had begun working with BusyBox in the /tmp directory (such that a directory called /tmp/busybox-0.45 was created by the tar command). Then, if you want to create symbolic links in the same area, use this command:
make PREFIX=/tmp/busybox-0.45 install
The /tmp/busybox-0.45 directory will then contain subdirectories named bin, sbin and usr, each with symbolic links to /bin/busybox. You'll also need to copy the busybox binary to /bin before using these symbolic links:
cp /tmp/busybox-0.45/busybox /binNow you're ready to explore the symbolic links in your BusyBox subdirectories. For example, change to the bin directory:
cd /tmp/busybox-0.45/binThen use the ls symbolic link with the --help option:
./ls --helpYou see the same help text as indicated previously. This shows you that BusyBox is being used instead of the standard ls command on your Linux system.
BusyBox uses the GNU C library, or glibc, which can add substantially to the space requirements of an embedded system or boot disk. You might consider looking at alternate C libraries to save space. Examples include minix libc and newlibc. Another example that looks promising but doesn't yet support the full functionality of BusyBox is the uC-libc project from Rt-Control (see http://www.uclinux.org/). The maintainer of BusyBox, Erik Andersen, is currently working to enhance this mini C library so that it can be used to reduce the total size requirements for BusyBox.
The description of BusyBox so far is straightforward, but doesn't capture all that the program offers. Returning to the source code you un-tarred when you compiled BusyBox, load the file busybox.def.h into a text editor:
cd /tmp/busybox-0.45 vi busybox.def.h
The first part of this file (about the first 100 lines) contains #define statements for each utility capability that will be included in BusyBox. If you don't want to include the capabilities of one of these utilities, simply comment out that line. For example, if you don't need sed in the system you are using BusyBox on, comment out the line for sed using two forward slashes, like this:
//#define BB_SEDCommenting out a few of the larger utilities greatly reduces the size of the final busybox binary. For example, removing five complex programs (init, tar, sfdisk, gzip and gunzip) reduces the size of the busybox binary from 260KB to 155KB.
The second part of the busybox.def.h file (after a few explanatory comments) contains #define statements that activate or disable various features of BusyBox. Some of these features are intended to save memory, such as eliminating the use of the /proc file system, reducing the amount of on-line help provided and eliminating the use of regular expressions. Other #defines are specific to features of a single command. For example, you can eliminate the ability to create new tar files with the tar features of BusyBox. Unless you really need to shave off a couple more KB in the size of BusyBox, you shouldn't need to alter the #define options in the second section of the busybox.def.h file.
Embedded versions of Linux such as Lineo's Embedix may be the most obvious use of BusyBox, but you might come up with many other uses. For example, if you need to create an initrd file to boot up a system with unusual hardware, you can use BusyBox functionality to add the basic system utilities with a single easy-to-manage binary. Or, you might use BusyBox as part of a boot diskette or single-disk version of Linux, as the Linux Router Project and the Debian boot floppies.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
