As far as menswear nostalgia goes, the Ivy-antihero Steve McQueen is on Mount Olympus.
From editors to designers, the man gets name-checked for inspiration as well as instruction more regularly than anyone else—but this takes it to a whole new level, because on Thursday you'll have the chance to don the actual tweed jacket Steve McQueen wore in Bullitt.
McQueen's brown herringbone tweed jacket, replete with giant leather elbow pads, hits the Bonhams auction block in two days, courtesy of his son Chad, along with a couple muscle cars from the family stable. And considering the jacket's estimated to go for $600K to $800K, you might as well spring for the 1968 Ford Mustang Bullitt to match the jacket and fully channel the King of Cool. (But in a pinch, a navy turtleneck will do.)

Here's a little history lesson for you: plain white T-shirts first appeared in the late 19th century, when some manufacturer decided to split the union suit into separates. And originally, they were meant to protect one's finer outer layers from the perils of, well, sweat.
Like boxers for your chest.
But the rules have changed in the past century. The undershirt has, on occasion, been called to take sartorial center stage. Like before bed. Or between takes on set. Or during takes, for that matter. And throughout it all, some brave, overtly stylish men have succeeded in proving that these baser layers can be worth way more than their thread count.
So we've assembled the finest moments in Style Icons Wearing Undershirts for you, after the jump.»

In the way of warm-weather footwear, you won't do much better than the classic canvas sneaker—known as the plimsoll to the real heads.
And this pair might be the finest example we've seen this season—a collaboration between the military-minded Nigel Cabourn and sneaker stalwarts Converse that's just landed at End. Here's what else you need to know.
The Story: Nigel Cabourn based the shoes on 1940s British military-issue sneakers, built them on a similar-era Chuck Taylor last and sourced the Ventile canvas upper from the material still used in pilot suits to this day. The shoe comes in track brown, gray and the summeriest of all: eggnog.
Who to Channel: Steve McQueen on his day off; a '40s-era tennis player at Wimbledon; a trad on summer leave in Nantucket.
When to Wear Them: Anytime between today and Labor Day, especially when it's feeling like a "chinos and oxford-cloth button-down" kind of day.
Degree of Difficulty: About as hard as it is to tie shoelaces. (Once you've done that, wear the hell out of them all summer.)
As the warm-weather gear continues to trickle into shops, we couldn't help but notice this two-tone shawl-collar cardigan from Drumohr sticking out like a sore, overly warm thumb as it recently arrived at Unionmade.
But upon further review, the Scots over at Drumohr had us fooled: it's a cotton-linen blend that's knit so loose, you could almost see through it. Which seems uniquely well suited for this time of year. Here's what else you need to know.
The Story: The legendary knitwear brand was founded in southern Scotland in the 1700s and has been a favorite among Europe's well-to-do ever since.
Who to Channel: Steve McQueen piloting a pontoon boat; a royal of Monaco on the kind of French Riviera day when socks aren't necessary but a little extra warmth might be nice.
When to Wear It: Right about now, and anytime a warm day cools off into the sunset as the summer approaches.
Degree of Difficulty: Medium. This is a pretty slouchy garment, so we'd keep this for the breezy-weekend-and-beach-bonfire circuit.

Desert boots have been thick on the ground in menswear circles for some time now, but you're most likely to find them in a dusty suede or waxed brown leather.
Which is why this navy pair with a brick-red crepe sole that's just landed across the pond at End is especially intriguing–and perhaps a better way to stand apart than going the lug-sole route. Here's what else you need to know.
The Story: Clarks have been making the poster-boot of desert footwear since WWII—and have since become a staple in most guys' wardrobes. This pair replaces the usual uppers with a navy nubuck and dyes the crepe a brick-red, like your favorite pair of bucks.
Who to Channel: Britain's Desert Rats battalion in their finest dress uniforms; Steve McQueen, had he kept the boots on with his tuxedo (shown below).
When to Wear It: Anytime you would wear your suede pair. You can leave those in a dark corner of the closet until everyone starts wearing upcycled versions of the desert boot—and it's time to go back to the originals.
Consider These: The best update to a classic you've seen in a good while.

The down vest has been experiencing a renaissance—in many forms—but we're most interested in the old-fashioned armless outwear version. And this new waxed-cotton down vest from Archival Clothing is exactly that. Here's what else you need to know about it.
The Story: The nostalgic outdoorsmen at Archival Clothing got together with Seattle's coziness experts at Crescent Down Works to insulate this waxed-cotton vest—even the pockets are stuffed with down to keep your hands extra warm—and Centralia Knitting Mills for the worsted-wool rib collar.
Who to Channel: Steve McQueen dirt-biking on a crisp fall morning; Sidney Poitier in Shoot To Kill; Marty McFly; not the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
When to Wear It: Chopping firewood, on morning commutes that might require reaching for a subway straphanger or on trips back to the future.
Degree of Difficulty: Medium. If you're feeling adventurous, layer it over a jean jacket—or, if you're at Pitti Uomo, over your suit jacket—otherwise, throw it over a thick flannel shirt or sweater.

Sean Connery with stunt double Big John McLaughlin, Never Say Never Again, 1983
When the city of Fort Lauderdale recognized Big John McLaughlin, Shogun of the Sea, with a star on the Walk of Fame earlier this year, he responded, "Does one have to be alive to collect it?" It likely was not the first time Mr. McLaughlin asked some form of this question, having pioneered diving, stunt rigging and motion picture safety techniques in the late 1950s that are still in use to this day. Jaws simply wouldn't have been a scary movie if it weren't for Big John.
"I guess the craziest thing they ever asked me to do was bite a live tiger shark," he reminisces. But his favorite was doubling 007 in eight Bond films, including Thunderball, in which he doubled 34 different people.

You've likely seen his name emblazoned on the back of a Mustang GT or obsessed over his automotive masterpiece, the Shelby Cobra, or maybe even picked up a packet of his expertly spiced chili powder blend.

We spend a good deal of time here at Kempt headquarters discussing the gentleman's style: his clothes, his facial hair, his accoutrements, etc. In addition, though, over the past year, we've attempted to broaden the definition of style to include his behavior as well: his adherence to a certain chivalric code, his etiquette, the words he uses, his manner of pursuing artistic and athletic endeavors, his morality, his aspirations and, inevitably, the periodic missteps that can and squander those aspirations.
While we hesitate to dip our toe into the murky, stale bathwater of year-end reviews (and while we have even greater hesitation to hurl ourselves, willy-nilly, into the business of doling out meaningless, award-less "awards"), we're doing so anyway.
Maybe we're slightly more nostalgic for 2011 than we've been in the past.
Or, more likely, maybe we're finding the exercise of attaching superlatives to people and things and moments to be kind of fun.
Whatever the reason, we present for your perusal—in three parts over as many days—the 2011 Kempt Awards.

Culture is now officially over.
At least, that's the premise of a new think piece by Kurt Andersen in next month's Vanity Fair, which claims our culture stopped producing new ideas sometime around 1991.
He's got a point, especially on the men's style front. Swap photos of low-key men on the street circa 2011 and 1991, and it might be hard to tell which was which. You could hardly say the same for 1971, or 1951. Even the cutting-edge style pics, like the above one from Wale Oyejide, are hardly distinctive. Give or take the banker's collar and he could be walking out of a law firm on any day in the last 30 years.

I'm so glad to be finally posting my arrival story. Boy, what a journey it was to get here. Here is my story...
Last week I was literally shaking in my boots waiting to get my amnio over with. The procedure itself was extremely creepy but really not that painful- just a quick sting. The harder part was waiting 6 hrs for the results. I got the call at 4PM that his lungs were mature and that we were "on" for the scheduled c section the next morning at 0800. You couldn't wipe the smile off my face. I felt like the battle was half over. Naturally I didn't sleep well at all that night. It was a good thing we had to check in at 0530. I couldn't lay in bed any longer. So we get to L&D and the nurses immediately take blood and get me prepped. The IV really hurt. It took 2 tries...I cried partly because of the pain but mostly because the tears have been ready to pop out for a couple of days. My family was there with us and I couldn't hold back the emotions. I just kept thinking "could I really handle coming home without a baby, God for bid it happens again?" 20 minutes before show time I got the dreaded news that we'd have to wait another 1.5 hours because of an emergency c section that just came in. That was brutal having to wait but I kept reminding myself that the poor person who bumped me was probably so scared about her situation (just like me last year). Once it was time to go into the OR the shaking kicked in full blast. The room was freezing and I was terrified. Getting an epidural when you don't have contractions is tough. I clung to the nurse for dear life. Finally when my DH was able to join me I relaxed. The moment became surreal...the pushing & tugging on my mid section and doctors chit chatting about who won the election made me want to go to sleep. Finally we heard the beautiful cry. And lucky for us he cried and cried. WOW, I wish that moment on every one of you pregnant ladies! Once I got to the recovery room my family was there and had already gotten a peak at our baby. This is when I saw my doctor and learned that my uterus had ruptured. The bag of water was the only thing separating me and our baby from disaster. Had we waited another week the outcome could have been fetal. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. When I was contracting at 29 weeks my incision from my prior c section became painful. I asked if this pain was normal. But at the time I wasn't bleeding so there was no way of knowing if I had ruptured. Now I know. How lucky were we that things ended so well? My angel must have been looking out for us. I spent 4 nights in the hospital. I didn't mind the stay at all. I savored the moments when it was just me and my precious baby alone in the room. I could stare at him forever. You spend so much time praying for that moment and here it was. I also love breastfeeding him. The bonding is out of this world. I'm without a doubt in baby heaven.
The day I was discharged was the first time I was hit with grief for my angel son. I was being wheeled past the gift shop on the way out. There was a display of angels in the window. It reminded me of one year ago being wheeled out of the same hospital with my suitcase and a box containing my sons tiny hat, gown, plaster molding of his feet and other things meant to make me feel better. I sat there with red eyes holding that sad box waiting for my DH to pull the car around. Now here I was holding my precious baby and it all became too much. The poor nurse pushing the wheelchair had no idea why I was sobbing. I tried to talk but it was hopeless. I needed to get that out. I hope I always remember my angel...it's because of him that I'm forever changed for the better.
I'm so glad to have found this message board. I felt so alone before and talking about my loss here has been the best healing I could ask for. Thank you for listening and sharing. I wish all of you the best and can't wait to read more arrival stories.

he is so precious! Thanks for sharing your story. I am sorry to hear that your uterus rupted - that is soooo scary! But it ended all well, phew ... Will be the recovery harder now, because of that?
Anyway, enjoy your little blessing and big (((hugs))) and big YAY! :-)

What a beautiful story! I'm sorry to hear about the ruptured Uterus, but I'm glad you had a good experience otherwise. I completely could have written your story when it came to my daughter. I had her last year (in a different Hospital in a different county) but I also had a c-section and your right.. the anticipation, the room, the CRY! Its so overwhelming. I also cried for my Noah, while in the hospital..thinking about him while my daughter ended up in the nicu. Though she is fine now she had some heart complications and until they could figure it out she was in the nicu for a week. I stayed for a week rooming in, and that whole time it was the same as you "can this happen again" and "can I handle this"? Different circumstances but same emotions, same feelings.
I am beyond thrilled for you, Joseph is handsome as ever! I will be naming my son Liam Joseph (my dh name is Joe)
What a precious little man you have, and he will teach you so much and help you to heal so much when it comes to your angel. I know my daughter has. Its amazing the way it fills part of that hole, though your child is never a replacement.. the mending of your heart begins with a child that breathes and cries and lives after a loss. I still cry for my Noah, but I also am very grateful to my son, because without his loss, I would never have aubrey. They will forever be connected. Its a very special bond you and your angel and Joseph will have forever!

What a little cutie and look at all of that hair. I am so happy to hear that Joseph is here safe and sound. I definitely think you two were being watched closely from above.
Your story brought tears to my eyes, because I am remember all too well that same feeling when I brought Sophie home. It almost doesn't seem real or possible to be bringing a baby home instead of a box of memories. The grief for your angel can be overwhelming during the first month, but just remember you have a right to be a happy mommy and that is exactly what our angels want for us. I personally believe they picked out our new blessings especially for us.
Take care and a huge congrats.

This issue has to be so easy I know I will hate myself when someone pops up with the answer.
Our school system has one forest with 8 domains. One domain for the Admins and one each for the various schools... Dont ask why, we inherited it. :(
The issue is that if a user from any of the School domains logs onto any computer in the forest they get all their drive mappings; all well and good. But if a user from the Admin domain logs onto any computer other than an admin domain computer they will not get their drive mappings. If the user browses to the NETLOGON share and runs the script manually the drives are mapped.
Here is our setup:
Windows 2003 domain controllers.
Windows XP and Windows 7 Clients
Top level domain = forest.org
Admin domain = aaa.org
School domain = bbb.org
*Drive mappings for users of the aaa.org domain are called from batch files (C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol) entered directly into the logon script field of the profile tab of the users AD account. We also attempted to put the specific UNC path in the Profile path field of the AD account.
*Drive mappings for users of the bbb.org domain are called from batch files in a GPO logon script.
User from aaa.org logs onto bbb.org the script, net use f: \\server.aaa.forest.org\users\%username% does not map the drive. Running the script manually works fine.
User from bbb.org logs onto aaa.org the script, net use h: \\server.bbb.forest.org\users\teachers\%username% does successfully map the drive.

Brad Pitt has done it again! The actor's latest film, Tree of Life, took home the prestigious Palme d'Or award at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday.
However, the movie -- which also stars Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain -- surprisingly received mixed reviews from movie-goers at the festival.
It was also an incredible day for Kirsten Dunst, who won best actress for her role in Melancholia. Though those associated with the film had plenty of drama to deal with this past week, as director Lars von Trier was banned from Cannes for his pro-Hitler comments.
French actor Jean Dujardin won the prize for best actor for his role in the silent film The Artist, while Nicolas Winding Refn was honored as best director for his film Drive.
Prizes were awarded by the nine-member jury headed by Robert De Niro. The panel also included actors Uma Thurman and Jude Law.

It's Thursday and since I have missed quite a few weeks of Thinking Out Loud Thursday I am so excited to get to just spill out all that has been on my mind. To learn more about Thinking Out Loud head on over to Running With Spoons. Thanks Amanda for hosting!
I have a lot to say today but in all honesty one topic in particular is sticking out to me… That topic came from a song. I was just driving home from work one day listening to some country music like I always do and the song This by Darius Rucker came on. If you haven't heard it check it out below.
This song really spoke to me. Ever since I have graduated college I have felt a bit lost. With not only where my life is going, but who I am and what I want. We all think we have a plan and we have things figured out. From the career path we want to go down, where we want to live, where we want to work, who we are dating, or who we are married to. Some of us even have a life plan, from point A to point B. I think we think that we are supposed to come up with a plan. You know it is kind of what we are taught growing up. We are to go to Preschool, then we enter grade school, and continue through high school until we choose a college to go to. During college we choose a major that will then lead us to our future occupation. I mean it sounds simple, and easy right?
I think once I actually graduated I realized that life is not that simple. It is not about following a plan or doing "what we are supposed to do." I mean after writing this out, who in the world would want their life planned out for them, I mean it sounds kind of boring, never being spontaneous or always knowing what is coming next.
The song talks about how everything in life that has happened good and bad has led him to this time in his life. It really spoke to me I guess. I may not have everything figured out yet and I may not be where I want to be, but knowing that God has plan has been such a wonderful and inspiring thing. Recently I had interviewed for a job and well I didn't get it for a lack of experience, but when my mom said "You didn't want it anyways", that is when I realized that, hey you weren't meant to get that job and not getting that job is going to lead you to something that is going to make you even happier than getting it!
So today sit down and be happy about your disappointments. Whether you are going through a job search, job loss, break up, heck even an injury just remember that it is going to lead you somewhere you are meant to be, or with someone you are meant to be with. And just remember that all those bad times in life you have gone through have lead you to be who you are and have those wonderful people you love in your life right now, because it all led you here to this :)

One Ohio lawmaker is standing behind some people who want a proposed severance tax on oil and gas drilling to benefit their neighborhoods.
A Republican-backed house bill would tax production from fracking wells, at least 1 percent, for the first 5 years.
After 5 years, that rate would increase to 2 percent for high-producing wells.
The money would fund both Ohio's oil and gas regulatory framework and the department of natural resources.
But some people living near those wells say they want some of that cash too.
"I've been very impressed with the local leadership from throughout my district because they have descended on the capitol to make the case that if there is going to be an increase in this tax that a portion of that revenue, a fair share of that revenue, must come back to the counties that are producing the oil and gas," he says.
Senator Gentile says the bill is pending in Columbus, and that Governor Kasich and house leaders do intend to put a new severance tax in place.

An Ohio legislator discussed all three Friday with Marietta College students.
State Senator Lou Gentile addressed students in the college's organizational leadership classes.
He talked about his early years in politics, before he became a member of the Ohio House and then the Senate.
"I started in my early '20's working in politics and government," he says. "So I try to relate my experience in government, and encourage them that they can assume meaningful leadership roles in the future."
Senator Gentile says the students he spoke to are interested not only in leadership roles in politics, but in business as well.
His appearance was part of a day-long series of events at the college he took part in.

Asked if controversial White House official Van Jones continues to enjoy the confidence of President Obama given recent revelations about his involvement with those who suggest the Bush administration knew about the 9/11 attacks and allowed them to happen in order to justify a war for oil, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs Friday morning would only say "he continues to work in this administration."
Jones, the Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, last night issued a statement apologizing for past controversial remarks and said a petition which he signed suggesting that President Bush "may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen" perhaps to justify war in Afghanistan or Iraq, "does not reflect my views now or ever."
An administration source said Jones says he did not carefully review the language in the petition before agreeing to add his name.
It's worth pointing out that Ben Smith at Politico has spoken to two signatories of that petition, Rabbi Michael Lerner and historian Howard Zinn, who say they were misled about what they were signing.
And the conservative website Little Green Footballs points out that Rachel Ehrenfeld, author of "Funding Evil; How Terrorism is Financed and How to Stop It" has posted on her website, the American Center for Democracy: "PLEASE NOTE: Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld is not a signatory of the 911Truth.org. She has asked several times to have her named removed from the list, but the organization failed to comply."
This morning information surfaced that Jones was on the organizing committee of a newspaper called WAR TIMES — "A New, Biweekly, Tabloid Newspaper Opposing the "War on Terrorism."
The WAR TIMES document asserts that the "world's most powerful nation has mercilessly bombed Afghanistan and is installing a neo-colonial government of its own choosing, although that country has never attacked the U.S. Millions of Afghans have been displaced and face starvation this winter. The administration has also green-lighted massive Israeli assaults on Palestine, and it threatens to attack Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia, and other countries. The agenda seems clear: to remake the world in the rightwing image with little regard for human consequences."
The announcement was on the same page as an announcement of a march demanding information about whether the Bush administration knew about 9/11. A source close to Jones said that "Jones didn't participate in and wasn't part of this march at all. He spent a very brief time on the board of the magazine War Times."
The source says no other connections to the Truther movement other than the petition exist
Gibbs said that that the "9/11 Truther" sentiments are "not something that the president agrees with."

Will Second Half Single-Copy Sales Bounce Back?
A newsstand sales drop and flat subscriptions obscure signs of an upward trend.
There has hardly been a time in recent memory when magazine circulation has had to contend with such an unfriendly market. There have been increased production costs, economic pressures suffocating consumers and marketers alike—which, in turn, pinched circulation marketing budgets—and a near-total collapse of the newsstand supply chain. It's practically good news that, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations' FAS-FAX report for the first half of 2009, subscription levels remained flat. Yet the real drama is a significant decline in newsstand sales.
There are small, late first-half signs, however, that newsstand numbers might be trending back up.
Overall, though, subscriptions for the 521 reporting titles were up about half a percentage point (.56 percent) during the first half of 2009, while single-copy sales fell 12 percent versus the same period last year.
Verified Circulation Drops
Verified circ, which had grown as a source for many of the big publishers last year, was down almost 4 percent.
Looking at the newsweeklies, Newsweek reported an 8 percent drop in paid subscriptions. Interestingly, its use of verified circ shot up 187 percent compared to same period last year. Time decreased its verified circulation by 88 percent and recorded a 2.6 percent spike in paid subscriptions. The Week remained flat with a .2 percent drop in paid subs and no reported verified use.
Out of the top 10 paid and verified circ gainers with more than 100,000 circ, six were below 500,000 circulation; seven below one million. Global Traveler topped the gainers with a 48 percent jump in paid and verified circ.
New Launches Not Making Up Ground
As a category, the top-selling 25 consumer magazines audited by ABC were all down, save one—Real Simple squeaked out a 1.17 percent gain on the newsstand. Family Circle dropped the most, 22.55 percent compared to first-half 2008.
That's significant because those 25 titles account for almost 50 percent of the single-copy sales of all the magazines tracked on the newsstand by ABC. When best-sellers are down, the category itself is down.
Newsstand consultant Baird Davis also points out in his own analysis for Folio: sister publication Audience Development that the rash of magazine closings has also shocked the newsstand system: In the first half, a total of 62 audited publications, all of which reported newsstand sales in the first half of last year, were either closed or in some cases discontinued being audited by either of the two major audit bureaus. "In the aggregate these 62 discontinued titles accounted for over $65 million in retail sales in the year previous period," says Davis.
He also notes that, normally, shutdowns are displaced by new launches. This year, however, revenues from the 26 newly-audited titles only managed $13 million. "The effect of such a disproportionately high number of discontinued titles in comparison to newly audited titles produced a net loss of 36 titles and a sales shortfall of 14 million units and $53 million in revenue," Davis says.
This factor is not averaged into audit reports and Davis estimates that the effect is a further drop of 3 percent—bringing the total newsstand decline to 15 percent.
Among ABC's top-ten single-copy gainers that sold more than 100,000 units, only one—Mother Earth News —broke a double-digit percentage, shooting up 29 percent. The next highest gainer was Women's Health at almost 9 percent.
The six main celebrity titles—In Touch Weekly (-18 percent), Life & Style (-8 percent), OK! (-20 percent), People (-13 percent), Star (-14 percent) and Us (-3 percent)—were all notably down. However, the weeklies were particularly hard-hit when wholesaler Anderson News shut down in February, causing sales losses and delays for its 25 percent marketshare.
Fashion magazines didn't fare much better, with Condé Nast's W registering the biggest newsstand losses for the period, with single copy sales plunging 21 percent.
Large-Circulation Titles Make Rate Base
Despite the newsstand nosedive, the majority of big-circ. titles fulfilled their rate bases. Of the more than 30 magazines carrying rate bases of 2 million or higher—including AARP, Reader's Digest, Maxim and Newsweek—only Playboy fell short, delivering a total paid and verified circ. of 2,453,266, compared to its 2.6 million rate base. A number of additional titles reported paid and verified increases through the first half. Among them were Women's Health (29.7), Taste of Home Healthy Cooking (29.4), Body + Soul (12.1) and Everyday Food (10.4).
Newsstand Sales May Start Trending Up
A jump in unit sales and revenue late in the first half may be signaling a shift in momentum as we enter the second half of the year. According to MagNet, a data company that tracks store-level magazine sales, May and June were up 2.6 percent in units and 2.1 percent in revenue compared to the first four months of the year. In other words, the sales decline appears to be slowing down.
"These numbers indicate to me that May and June may have changed the momentum on the newsstand for magazine publishers," says Ken Godshall, MPA's executive vice president of consumer marketing. "That's a change in direction from what we've seen in the last couple ABC periods and may be a sign of hope for the future."
As the supply chain emerges from the rubble, it appears sales are on an upward trend. "The May-June period was down in 2008 versus the first four months, so last year we were losing traction and this year we're gaining traction," says Godshall.
Yet newsstand sales are only part of the story. The drop in sales received major play in the press to the consternation of the MPA, which responded by releasing a whitepaper in September called "The Full Story on Magazine Circulation Vitality." Looking at the "big picture," the report notes newsstand sales account for only 12 percent of total consumer magazine circulation and highlights other, more positive, takeaways: Subscriptions are up over same period last year, technology is helping to market subs more effectively, and magazine readership continues to grow—up about 5 percent from 2005.
BPA Worldwide Freezes Dues and Audit Rates
With b-to-b publishers facing significant ad revenue declines and a beat-up economy that continues to make forecasting difficult, BPA Worldwide's board of directors has unanimously agreed to freeze audit rates and dues at July 2008 levels.
Indeed, ABM announced ad pages fell 30 percent through the first half of 2009, a factor that has publishers scrambling to manage costs. Subsequently, BPA's phones began "ringing off the hook" early this year, says the audit firm's president and CEO Glenn Hansen. "As those calls started coming in we were very sensitive to that as we put our budget together in January," he says.
The freeze remains in effect until June 30, 2010, the end of BPA's current fiscal year.
While BPA's consumer counterpart, ABC, has effectively frozen dues and rates for its newspaper and magazine members since 2007, Hansen says this is the first time as president that he's had to institute a rate freeze. "I've always been an advocate of raising dues and rates—at low percentages—each year, but this is the first time we're not going to in the 10 years I've been president."
Hansen adds that historically, under previous leadership, dues and audit rate freezes are followed by "huge" increases the following fiscal year. While there's potential to hike rates in 2010, they won't have to be dramatic because, says Hansen, of the way BPA is managing its costs this year.
The rate-freeze can be interpreted as both an effort to help publishers save costs and keep BPA's membership active. There's been story after story of publishers making significant cuts, and it's not hard to imagine that audits are toward the top of the list.
Combine that with an increasingly complicated product platform mix that has some publishers arguing for greater flexibility in auditing metrics, and others implementing audits only when a competitive scenario dictates and you have unprecedented pressure placed on the audit market.
Questex Media, a large b-to-b publisher, left BPA in April for "nimbler" Verified Audit Circulation seeking a more flexible audit process. UBM's TechInsights group left late last year to create its own in-house reporting system. And PennWell is now working with BPA on a brand audit report prototype, called Brand Reach Audit Report, to go beyond even its current integrated media report services.
In the meantime, BPA is touting its free Web measurement audit as an added value. "We continue to add more of our members into the BPA-Nielsen measurement tool, which is no additional cost," says Hansen, who added that 22 percent of members are currently using the service.

Cablevision Channels Its Own Netflix
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Cablevision's (CVC) new Apple (AAPL) iPad TV application is looking a lot like a Netflix (NFLX) killer.
On Saturday, two weeks after Time Warner Cable (TWC) introduced an iPad app, Cablevision offered its own version of iPad TV broadcasts called the Optimum app. The service is available in the homes of Cablevision customers and it offers all the channels and video-on-demand services that TV subscribers are signed up for.
The move by Cablevision and Time Warner Cable highlights the building rivalry with Netflix, the Internet firm that has been expanding its video streaming beyond movies to TV programming. Cable companies have seen mass defections as subscribers cut the so-called cord and seek cheaper TV and movie alternatives over the Internet.
The response by the cable industry is an initiative called TV anywhere, which promises to deliver the full TV package to any device. Cablevision says the Optimum application, which effectively makes the iPad a TV, is part of a broader plan to put subscribers' video on a range of mobile devices. This seems to imply apps for Google's (GOOG) Android phones and tablets.TV programmers like Scripps Networks (SNI) and Viacom (VIA) are not fully on board with the cable companies' tablet TV plan. Both Scripps and Viacom initially objected to Time Warner Cable's iPad app, saying the cable company hadn't gained approval to stream TV to iPads. Cablevision says it is using its own virtual set-top box technology to deliver the video to iPads, and says it is not using the Internet for TV distribution. And in an attempt to preempt any legal disputes, Cablevision said in its press release that it "has the right to distribute programming over its cable system to iPads configured in this way under its existing distribution agreements with programming providers." Cablevision declined to comment on whether there has been any reaction from any media companies. Cablevision did say that the Optimum App is the top download in the entertainment category in the Apple App Store and is the ninth most popular download overall. One apparent loser in Cablevision's shift away from cable box hardware is Cisco (CSCO), the No. 1 set-top box supplier to Cablevision. The setback is among many recently for Cisco, which has been losing ground in some of its core businesses over the past six months. Cisco shares are down 30% in the past five months and Netflix shares have surged 38% so far this year. --Written by Scott Moritz in New York.

Monday Mind Teasers: The Guardian
It's a little too short, a little too simple, a little tedious, and doesn't have enough music, but that's still not stopping me from declaring that The Guardian on Newgrounds is one of the best simple pixel art games I've ever played. Those who despise artsy games can go ahead and skip this week's mind teaser, but I still say you'd be missing out.
The graphics and gameplay are spot on, and this is a Shadow of the Colossus homage that's the perfect blend of simplicity, much like the PS2 game it's paying respect to. I actually do enjoy its odd pacing since big adventures can't be quick by their very nature, and Colossus definitely understood that and didn't shy from it even though they knew some would call it a flaw, yet part of me can't help wishing the creator of this flash game would go back and remake it into a longer story with more places and events to visit and interact with.
What do you think? Just the right balance and you wouldn't change a thing? Or a good game that could be legendary if it was expanded and revised?

Poll in key swing state shows that Iowans support clean energy despite politically motivated attacks on the industry
Washington, DC—A new poll from the American Council On Renewable Energy (ACORE) shows that candidates' positions on clean energy was important to Iowa voters in the 2012 election. The survey demonstrates that voters in Iowa understand renewable energy's contributions to their state and that opponents of clean energy who spread misrepresentative information about the industry for political gain were unsuccessful in swaying voters.
"Policymakers take note: swing state voters support clean, renewable energy," said Vice Admiral (ret.) Dennis McGinn, President and CEO of ACORE. "It is long past time to end the vilification of an industry that is creating jobs, attracting private investment, and contributing to our economic recovery. Clean energy is a business, not a political football, and it should be treated as a business."

Deviant Art
helium balloon lungsi. You write me notes scribbled on sandpaper
and I run them across my face,
scraping away layers of saccharine skin,
ii. Your eyes, made of cookie crumbs,
I'd like to dip them in milk
and watch them melt,
smoking like dry ice,
iii. You churn my childish heart
in circles and in circles
till I slip into cardiac arrest,
iv. I just remembered that time you
wrapped your arms around me like vines
and held me until you couldn't,
v. Oh what I'd give for a pair of
fortune cookie lungs,
inhaling intuition,
exhaling self-fulfilling prophecy,
vi. I've been fishing for horoscopes,
pasting them onto my bedroom walls
and on the backside of my skin,
hoping that they tell me that
today is the day you will be mine,
vii. But your soul is made up of sins
and I do believe in forgiveness,
but forgive me, for I cannot forget.
waketrembling lips,
can't breathe, at least not steadily,
paint me turquoise
or be the forest to my fire,
actually I'd rather you were nothing, at least nothing to me,
now I can feel nightfall coming upon the manifestation of a July moon,
so let's let those clouds burst and rip wide open
just as though the clouds were my organs and
the rain were my blood.
palpitationsMy veins,
blue born licorice whips,
weaving webs for blood spiders on my thighs,
thin cerulean shoelaces tying knots around my wrists,
hold fast, heartbeats pumping like gasoline,
I am living, but I am not alive.
I Need a Love that Frees MeChurning, burning, yearning,
empty love,
you twist me till I bleed,
why does my heart hurt so bad whenever I think of you,
you've got me if you want me
and I can't even fight it.
I'm Not Ready to Let GoYour fingertips carve melodies into my songbird skin,
carbonizing my charcoal bones
so I can write sonnets on the sidewalk
with the ends of my chalky joints.
Oh how your grazing hands
hold me,
your touch
Your propane eyes
burn me up,
your toothy smile
ties me down.
I hold my breath
because these moments are fragile
as they are finite,
and I close my eyes
because love shouldn't be this ugly
or this hard to find.
there are monsters in that world of yoursYou are a sun dried pelvis and a seedy scalp,
You are a shark bite in my neck and the stitches to sew it up,
You are the sand dollars in my pockets and the rip tides that tug at my feet,
You are the sweet sting of a jellyfish and the skeleton of the sea,
If the ocean was your body I would hold on to your surf,
I'd let your current crush my skull,
I'd sink into your salty skin and be consumed by the rush of your waves,
I'd drown in your inky reflections of the darkness and the moon,
I'd sit underneath your surface and stare at your stained glass ceilings,
I'd rot between your clay hands deep within your subconscious,
I'd think and hope you could sense that my cerulean soul was yours,
For I am pale bones seeking bleak waters,
I am the taste of mussels and the texture of coral reef,
I am Poseidon's soul mate and Neptune's lover,
I am an unanswered siren's call fated to starry nights,
I am a swim in the undertow while bleeding stingrays out your feet.
ChokeI'm scrubbing my neck raw with a dry towel
because I don't want your fingerprints
around my throat anymore.
(You were my autumn love,
now it's time for my winter heart ache.)
And I will Always be the MoonWe have gotten so attached to these days and these months,
but a deer doesn't know a Tuesday from a Thursday
and a caribou can't comprehend that it was born on a September afternoon,
but they can understand this instant, this moment, this breath,
only now, no longer the past, and only the future when they get there,
there's a healthy lack of awareness in that,
escaping the fear of death but thriving off the instinct to live,
everything so primal and based off gut reactions,
I guess you could say ignorance is bliss,
but ignorance only actually applies when it comes to humanity,
oh I would like a life like that,
one that is organic, tangible, and ripe with bloody berries,
one where carnal creatures run rampant,
one where we rise from the dirt with muddy thighs
because we were bred into these earthly bodies
to hold seconds in our palms like newborn children,
and to throw our heads back and howl against the awareness that we are dying,
for oh this skin is only our host,
we deriv
RattlingThe air is still too crisp for my morning skin,
honeydew lungs are ra-ra-rattling and I'm sipping on ice water,
water is made up of such beautiful things,
reflections, refractions, waves, and liquidated lifeforms,
are we dead or are we dying?
I love you, I love you, I love you
and I've only just forgotten to tell you,
so take your molten fingertips and melt me down
oh please just burn down my firewood ribs as death clings to yours,
I am never alone when I am being held by your lonely ghost,
held, hold, holding,
no, I am never alone.
Gentle CannibalWithout a breeze to soothe my body,
or salvage a mind
from the dripping tide of cicadas,
the midnight of summer begins to
lift its mantle from where you crouch,
and comes to honor me.
My gentle cannibal,
with eyes of hemorrhaging iris,
the jaundice of your nakedness,
translucent from the moon rings
ghosting overhead,
your lips pulled as if in pain.
The fever of your touch traces
every rung of dappled trellis
from the faux shadings of a lunar day.
Give me my sweet plunder of ripe figs
as you bend me like a bow that will snap,
or have you already bitten me to the bone.
Strange FleshCarry me so my feet won't
touch the floor,
taste me when we arrive,
breathe your life into me
while entering the
wound of your obsession,
it consumes where I bleed;
deny me your veil
and salvage your religion--
sin upon sin wades in spume
each time you emerge,
to offer me its strange flesh.
either wayshe dances like a raindrop,
collapses on the ground,
and all of her bones shatter,
made from thin, liquid glass,
her voice ripples on the surface
and it screams
the soft syllables pirouetting on your eardrums
her fingertips tapping
can you hear them?
they are cotton balls
being dropped on the asphalt
can you hear them?
(it's the wind carrying her feet across the air)
and she dances like a raindrop.
you can catch her
and she can shatter in your palms.
FringeConfused in the wind of a thousand days
that carries the muezzin's prayer
tremulous from atop a minaret standing
against the blue of nothingness,
ending with the tracer lights of ascending dusk
in the triple digits of heat
and the smell of blood and eucalyptus,
taking in the last of my breath with the
first of your kiss, you slide into me
and the white blossoms of birds rise with its scent
from off the slow current of the Euphrates-
the adrenaline rush finds a bullet puncture
meant for a nesting crane, and dissipates,
escaping into night that never goes completely
black from the brilliance of desert fringe,
while behind closed eyes comes the intense burst
of the color tangerine, and the drone of
dragonfly wings among the date palms, and an
otherworldly hush from the spillage of cascading sand.
Witch TrialI believe I was a ginger headed poet in a past life,
who wrote love through magik spells
burning candle wax, whispering incantations
under a full moon and painting pale,
naked flesh with dirt and ash.
Dancing with ghostly ravens through flames,
to the thumpthumpthump of my storm heart,
as it became one with the earth.
I roared my passions and my glory
to the heavens above, laughing
like a crazy eyed crone for the sake
of those who feared me.
My witches tongue, hissing, 'Come hither!'
as heat licked my shoulders like an old lover,
come home.

the kind of destruction only i deserve.i'm sitting on a throne of thread spools
with technicolor knots wound around my wrists,
and i thought it would be enough to hold me together.
i am weak - thread-lines etched into my skin
because i always tie myself too tight,
convinced that if i add an inch,
i'll melt between cotton molecules, liquefied.
and i figured that i'd finally gotten it right;
between the bulges of my skin and bindings,
i'd managed to shut myself up, and shut you out.
i even installed double-paned glass into every window
so that if the wind ever came to welcome me home,
i wouldn't have to chatter my teeth,
like I was pretending to converse.
it wasn't enough.
i smashed the windows and snapped all of the spools
and tore every single thread away with their shards
i created a whirlwind with my skin and my sin
and this time i don't deserve to be saved.
RunA broken girl
Cries alone
Somewhere in the dark
Heart in hand
She there alone
She cant go any further
She walks into the wilderness
And runs.
Wind whistles in her ears
The cold air burns her lungs
But she runs
Tears stream down her face
Warming where they fall
So warm it almost feels like they're burning her skin
She screams at the top of her lungs
But struggles as her lungs tighten
She trips and falls face first in the dirt
The cold ground feels good on her skin
The earth makes her feel at peace.
She lays looking up at the stars
Listening to the crunch of the leaves
Breathing in the smell of wet dirt
She feels safe in the silence
Her tears stop
As a smile creeps onto her face
"This is where im ment to be"
She whispers to herself
She screams
Clearing her body of and fear and any anger
Her soul is calm
Her heart at peace
Her mind is still
Her body relaxed
She is where she belongs...
Dear ...
Dear You
Dear Words,
Thank You so much. You are an extraordinary friend who does an outstanding job in healing the wounds of every broken-pieced, depression-suffering and heart-lost teenager.
Angry? I curse using you.
Happy? I get high using you.
Fatigue? I whine using you.
Sad? I cry screaming you.
You make the best of me. You describe me at my worst, at my best. You bring out the lively emotions from my dead-looking, stinking-cold heart. You are able to twist, turn and portray the most powerful messages ever. Through poems, spoken words, and literature; you scream when tears have gone dry, you rise from the dead and stand up when injustice is served and you send such strong messages that it shakes the feet of mankind off the filthy-filled ground.
You are caring, gentle, kind and loving. Thank You for always being there and helping me never give up.
DreamsTo dream is a dangerous thing.
It puts assumptions into our heads.
They encourage us to get hurt.
They break hearts.
I've realized that people don't break hearts.
Our dreams do.
We expect things,
And they don't come true.
Who do we blame?
We blame people,
When in reality we should blame ourselves,
For expecting things that will never happen.
It's not my fault,
Or your fault,
For these dreams.
But dreaming is better than reality.
And we just want our dreams to come true.
torn paperin the heat of reason
what the hell

to reduce you to 'sizzling whale oil
in the lightbulb of your bird-on-a-wire self-esteem'
and 'your want of justice is a diamond
in the rough corroded by mortality'
you who checks my breath for honesty
you my alcoholic breath my only response
i mean -
war orcas bite their steel reins to be drowned
in these silences.

The CandlemakerHeat,
the space between cold and ice,
sweat is raining down your telephone pole neck,
now it's even hotter, pushing 90,
the air is thick and begins to clog your lungs,
dragging September's fog through your trachea,
smoldering your larynx and taking control of your entire body,
burning down bones like candle wicks,
now you're a waxen pool on the bedroom floor,
but wait, tender hands start to take a hold of you,
molding you a new spine made of incense,
hips out of honey,
and a heart out of the horizon,
beating, burning slow,
you release a floral smoke,
drawn in, between the candlemaker's cigarette licked lips.

SPF Record Query
View Single Post

Join Date: Jun 2006
Posts: 82
Thanks: 0
Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts
Could this be an answer
through further research today i found that if i send mail through Squirrelmail and not UebiMiau! my email gets delivered properly to the Inbox (yahoo and Hotmail)
this is through a domain with A SPF record and a domain without one still under the same ISPConfig server
now my question is what is an alternative to UebiMiau or better yet how would i also go by adding that email frontend to a .pkg cause i know that i'll get it probably in a .tar.gz file and also because squirrelmail is too basic and requires alot of tweaking
if this is the case that should mean that my email is not being taken as SPAM or junk mail on other email clients like (yahoo and Hotmail) right?
Oh ran further tests and this was the outcome
the scenario
2 Email Accounts 1 from a domain with a SPF Record another from a Domain without An SPF Record
3 Testing grounds (Outlook, Squirrelmail and Ueibmaiu)
2 Mail Accounts Yahoo and Hotmail
sent from domain 1 (without SPF record) and domain 2 (with SPF Record)
delivered to Inbox Correctly
via outlook
Both Domains
Yahoo= Delivered Properly
Hotmail= Delivered Properly
via Squirrelmail
domain 1
(without SPF record)
yahoo= Delivered to Inbox
hotmail= delivered to junk mail folder
domain 2
with SPF record
yahoo= Delivered to Bulk mail
hotmail= Delivered to junk mail
What to do??

Here are a few comments from our great customers!
Thanks so much for your prompt and efficient service technicians. I appreciated the fast diagnosis and repair which immediately restored the heat and hot water.
Thanks again!

Dear Wanda & Rick-
Chuck and I are very pleased with the work Greg & Chris did this last week installing the A/C. We found them to be knowledgeable and pleasant. They made good use of their time and were more than helpful in explaining and making us understand our old and new equipment. Thank you and them for a job well done."
Best Regards,

Dear Rick,
Just wanted to let you know, and I'm sure you already do, that you have fine technicians. He not only got our heating system back to where it needed to be but did so neatly. I know it's his job but both of us appreciate the extra effort. Thanks again for the fine service and Happy Holidays to both of you and your staff.

Ageia PhysX Tested 179

from the useless-in-the-short-term dept.
MojoKid writes "When Mountain View California start-up Ageia announced a new co-processor architecture for Desktop 3D Graphics that off-loaded the heavy burden physics places on the CPU-GPU rendering pipeline, the industry applauded what looked like the enabling of a new era of PC Gaming realism. Of course, on paper and in PowerPoint, things always look impressive, so many waited with baited breath for hardware to ship. That day has come and HotHardware has fully tested a new card shipped from BFG Tech, built on Ageia's new PPU. But is this technology evolutionary or revolutionary? "

Exercising with Low Carb Diets ????
I am currently on CAD (Carbohydrate Addicts Diet) I previously have done Atkins. CAD is working well for me, however I was wondering if any of you low carb friends could give advice on recommended exercises you do.
I currently walk at work on my breaks and lunches.
I have an elliptical that I occasionally use when I manage to get up early.
I have a long journey ahead so I dont want to burn myself out, but I also wouldnt mind to see the scale move just a little faster :aprayer:
Any advice and personal experiences welcome!!!! :hugs:
You may be doing enough for now, since you just started this month.
Lots of folks here separate exercise and weight loss. Not that exercise isn't important, it just may not be the key to faster weight loss. You might want to maintain your current exercise regiment but really focus on diet, since you say CAD is working well for you. Care to say more about this WOE?
Not knowing your fitness level, it's hard to say. Stick with the walking, it's lower impact and is good cardio. I would suggest a water aerobics class at your local YMCA or gym. I know it can be a little bit scary to think of getting into a bathing suit depending on your weight, but I have seen a lot of large women march into those classes in a size 20+ suit and march out months later in a size 12. It's great cardio and very low impact. I would also suggest good old Richard Simmons DVD's. They are pretty easy to do regardless of fitness level.
I'm currently restricted from exercise, due to illness, but when I'm able, I do high intensity strength training.
It's low reps of high weights, done to failure, slowly and with precise form. It is aerobic, but more importantly, it helps build and maintain muscle mass, which in turn raises metabolism, burns fat, and makes you look leaner at a higher weight.
I really like the results.
Thanks for all the great feed back you guys!!!
I am definitely sticking to walking for now but i will have to branch out more later.
CAD is the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet, a book by Dr.Heller
it is basically restricting all of your carbs to a "reward meal" and
also restricitng the time within you consume the meal to avoid insulin spiked that they believe are linked to weight gain and retention. There are also CM meals that have very few carbs you can eat 1-2 times a day....it depends what plan you pick in the book.
Cardio is nice but strength training is mandatory if you don't want to lose muscle along with fat. It's time to start now.
There are many benefits to exercising or just keeping active but studies show losing weight is not one of them. Studies have found that when people do 'vigorous' exercise (the type needed to actually burn any significant amount of calories), they usually end up hungrier and then justify why it's ok to eat more...and usually end up eating more than they burn.
I went from 330 to 160 and did not exercise at all. I didn't even go for walks...and I did not lose muscle. I lost fat. Unless you're following a diet that is so unbalanced that it cannibalizes your own muscle...and low carb is not that if it is being followed correctly...you will not lose muscle just because you don't exercise.
I detest exercising of any form. However, once I hit 160, I actually wanted to get out and move. So my husband and I go for a walk a few nights a week if it's not too hot/humid or too cold. Five days a week I go to the local college fitness center because I have free access and work out about 1.5 hours each day. I alternate between walking at a 4 mph clip and resistance training with machines and free weights. Recently, I started a kickboxing class twice a week. It kicks my butt but it is a lot of fun!
Unless you actually enjoy exercising, I'd focus on the diet for awhile and continue with the walking and your elliptical. Maybe 1-2# weights to work on the upper body muscle toning. If you get dizzy or weak, consider cutting back a bit on the intensity.
