Earlier today, a couple of rather exciting photos found on Picasa began hitting news sites showing what could be a leaked device called the Sony Nexus X. Of course, during Nexus season, any rumor or glance at a possible new device is always exciting, but sometimes it's worth while to take a step back and consider whether what we're looking at is actually what it appears to be. Our penchant for putting leaked images under the microscope led us to do a bit of investigating.
I had a brief hands-on with HTC's newest Android devices here at MobileCON in San Diego; specifically, the One X+ and One VX, both of which are tied down to AT&T here in the US. And the one you're probably interested in, the One X+, comes in any color you like - as long as it's black.
Now, my hands-on was indeed brief, but as a One X owner, I largely knew where to go and what to look at, and I have to say - this thing runs smooth.
Even as the proud owner of an HTC One X, sometimes I find it difficult to defend the company whose handsets I really do love. The One X is a truly gorgeous piece of hardware - a unique and interesting design among a sea of relatively similar (or extremely boring) shiny plastic rectangles. It's the first Android phone design I've looked at and thought to myself, "Wow, that's really inspired." Call me a fanboy if you must, but I really do love the look of this phone.
Tucked away in HTC's press release about the HTC One X+ and Sense 4+ was one tidbit that should make quite a few people happy:
The Android Jelly Bean with HTC™ Sense 4+ update is scheduled to begin rolling out for the HTC One™ S and HTC One™ X from October.
As most of you probably already know, Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) is the most polished version of Android yet. Coupled with some of the "enhancements" in Sense 4+ - namely, the improved camera software and the Get Started functionality - it should be quite a nice update.
In its One X+ announcement, HTC also announced some changes to Sense. While none were groundbreaking (so don't expect a visual overhaul) and not a lot of details were revealed, the company did mention a few things were being upgraded.
Protip: the image on the left is gigantic when full-sized. Apparently HTC's target date was September 24.
The camera software seems to have received the bulk of the changes, starting with the front-facer, which now includes Self Portrait mode (previewed below, left).
Manufacturers, you're awful at naming things. Sorry. It's true. In many cases, you've either muddied the brand of your flagship devices, or made it incredibly difficult for customers to know what they should be asking for when they walk into a store. This is probably not a good thing since you want customers to buy your stuff. More than that, though, you want them to love your stuff, so they'll buy more of it.
Look, I'll admit it up front: 9 times out of 10, when I buy accessories, I buy cheap and generic. A $5 phone pouch is just as good as a $30 one, right? I always thought I was getting the same product without paying for a fancy name stamped on it, a nicer package, and some more marketing. But between my cheap, universal car mount (which, while adjustable, never quite seems to hold any device quite as snugly as I'd like) or my universal arm band (which has required some cutting and doctoring with every new phone I get), one would think I'd know by now that you get what you pay for when it comes to accessories.
Just a few weeks ago, we asked you what phone you would buy if you had to choose one today - the HTC One X, or the Samsung Galaxy S III. Surprisingly, people were pretty closely split, with the tally as of writing 56% SGSIII, 44% HOX.
I'm not much of a case person. I was never very clumsy with my gadgets and didn't think the added bulk was a worthy trade-off for the added protection, especially in the day and age of ultra-durable plastics and Gorilla Glass screens. But on both fronts, that's changing; it's a lot harder to guarantee the safety of my gadgets when I've got kids (we're both likely to drop things) and there are some very sleek cases on the market.
The HTC One X landed in Europe in early April and was released today on AT&T, and as such, earned the distinction of first of the next-gen hardware. But being first isn't always the best - on Thursday, Samsung revealed their new flagship, the Galaxy S III.

In Luke 24 we have the amazing story of two disciples who had followed Jesus for three years. They loved Jesus. And were close to Him.
One day they were walking on the road back to Emmaus when Jesus joined them. Yet, they were so discouraged over His death they didn't even recognize Him. Because of what I call "mistaken contemplation," they had lost all hope.
What do I mean by "mistaken contemplation"? Simply this: We take our eyes off the risen Christ and instead focus on our problems. And what happens when we do that? We quickly lose hope.
Throughout my life, when I find myself facing a major crisis or dilemma, I tend to be the kind of person whose vision becomes blurred, and I can't see clearly. In these moments I find my perceptions are shot.
Why? Because my contemplations are all one-sided. And I often shut out the very people who can deliver me from my mistaken contemplation.
Now, I have a feeling you probably struggle in the same way...just like these two disciples from Emmaus. Notice that their vision was blurred about the very person who was walking and talking to them. Their contemplations were entirely wrong.
The One whose death they were mourning was alive and talking with them, but they did not realize it because their focus was on the wrong thing. The very One whose death they were feeling so deeply was in fact alive and with them, yet their vision was blurred. Their contemplation was one-sided.
But notice what happened when they suddenly recognized who Jesus was...they became changed people!
33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon." 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when He broke the bread.
They walked back immediately that night on that dangerous road to Jerusalem to give witness. Their safety did not mean a great deal to them, because they had seen the risen Christ!
They moved from fear to courage. They went from pain to joy. They were transformed from hopelessness into hope.
My friend, that is the story of Easter. No matter how hopeless your situation might seem, the Lord is there. He knows and understands. And when you take your eyes off your problems and place them on the risen Christ you will find genuine hope. Just like these two disciples from Emmaus.
You can live a life filled with hope, but only as you make Jesus...our risen Lord...the focus of your contemplation. When you do, you will find that any other focus is indeed a mistaken contemplation!
No matter what leadership arena a person serves in--whether leading a family, a church, a civic organization, a company--adopting the leadership example of Jesus will make that person more effective and productive. Leadership is influence, and no leader has had greater influence on the world than Jesus Christ. The lessons of His leadership style are practical, learnable skills that anyone can apply today.
Michael Youssef, who has executive experience in worldwide ministries, has examined the leadership Jesus modeled and suggests Christlike qualities every leader needs. But he doesn't stop there. With Jesus as the standard, Dr. Youssef considers how to deal with the temptations and pressures leaders face, including ego, anger, loneliness, criticism, the use of power, and passing the torch to others.
Men and women in search of excellence in developing their leadership abilities will find much to aid their quest in this close-up look at Jesus--the greatest leader who ever lived.

Marq2009bad energy and not being uplifted
i want people in my life that uplift me and there's no bad energy. 6 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

i want people in my life that uplift me and there's no bad energy. 6 years ago
I hired a very toxic person to work in my store. She recently quit. She has a huge network of friends who are not speaking to me as well. I am very afraid that all this bad energy will hurt my business. I will try the protection spell. Any other suggestions? 7 years ago
Avoiding people who do this is a good start. Also, here is a "spell" that helped me. Whether it's "real magic", or just a good psychological gimmick, doesn't matter.
1. Find a quiet time you can be by yourself. If you normally practice a tradition of magic, open your spell space however you normally do (i.e. make a circle if you're Wiccan, etc.)
2. Focus on concepts like safety, protection. Believe you are protected.
3. Take a bath or a shower. I took a cold bath, since someone told me to do it that way, but I don't think it was necessary. While you are bathing, imagine the water is washing away all impurities, all residual negative energies.
4. After drying off, etc., sit on the floor in a comfortable position.
5. Imagine yourself surrounded by white light—a bubble of safety.
6. "Attach" that presence of safety to yourself, by repeatedly drawing the rune of protection on your forehead. It's called Algiz, and looks like this:
You can chant or rock your body during this part if you want, or not. Sometimes repetitive chanting or motions help you focus better. You could make up a rhyme about how safe you are, if that helps, and chant with that.
The point is to focus all your attention on that rune you are drawing. This will seal the ward to yourself.
7. Once you feel you've done a good enough job, end the ritual according to your tradition. If you don't normally do spells, then be thankful, and say something like, "An' it harm none, so mote it be".
I like this spell because I can renew it any time I want. If I'm feeling afraid for ANY reason, all I do is take 20 seconds, focus my mind, and re-draw the rune on my forehead three times (with my finger of course). As I do this, I imagine myself being surrounded by white light. By the time I get the third rune drawn, I'm usually feeling quite safe again.
Warning: This spell does not protect against bullets or high-speed cars. 7 years ago
I learned to do this years ago out of necessity. It is true that others can't harm us unless we let them take our power away. And sometimes, we need to be more proactive in holding onto our power. I've used various techniques, depending on the circumstances, but in a pinch, surrounding yourself with white light is always a good way to start. :) 8 years ago

The mission of the MSC Visual Arts Committee (VAC) is to provide the students of Texas A&M University opportunities to connect the visual arts with their personal, professional and academic lives through art exhibitions (including student art work), gallery programs, artist residencies and travel.
#selfie will be a student art exhibition and social commentary on how students see themselves in a beauty-obsessed, media driven world. Each student will submit one piece of artwork, along with a selfie photograph. The piece of artwork is the primary piece of the exhibit, and the selfie is an enhancement to create unity throughout all pieces of artwork in the gallery.
Students must provide title, medium, and artist statement (200 words maximum) with the artwork only (not with the selfie), along with having their artwork ready to be hung. The selfie photograph must meet the following requirements: plain white background, 5"x7", and matted.
Students will turn in artwork and matted selfie on either October 27th or 28th, 2014 to a Visual Arts Committee member in the Student Programs Office within the MSC, anytime from 10am to 4pm. Submission does not guarantee exhibition. VAC reserved the right to deny any piece of artwork, and food may not be used as a medium.
Please contact email@example.com for any questions!

Counterpoint: The Third-Party Ad Server Has A Big Future
"Data-Driven Thinking" is written by members of the media community and contains fresh ideas on the digital revolution in media.
Today's column is by Megan Pagliuca, VP and GM for digital media at Merkle Inc. It was penned in response to Rob Griffin's recent piece, "The Death of the Third-Party Ad Server."
Rob Griffin's column on the future death of the ad server does not acknowledge that a targeting and measurement methodology dependent on a third-party cookie is fundamentally flawed.
With a better targeting and measurement methodology, the dynamics of the ecosystem will change, and the ad server will take on an even broader role. The ad servers, including Facebook's Atlas and Google's Doubleclick Campaign Manager (DCM), are driving the shift to tracking in a cross-device world using Facebook and Google logged in identity as the backbone.
To date, neither has been strong in either mobile or cross-device capabilities but, as they integrate identity, they have the potential to provide long-awaited salvation from inaccurate measurement that has prevented budgets from moving to mobile and digital overall.
Time spent in mobile has surpassed time spent in desktop, but since the third-party cookie is barely useful in tablet and mobile environments, reporting in attribution platforms, DMPs, DSPs and ad servers alike all massively undervalue the performance of those placements. The result of the defunct methodology is marketers are missing an enormous opportunity to reach consumers. To Rob's point, cross-device players like Tapad are innovating but there are three problems preventing cross-device ad tech startups from enabling budgets to move to mobile at scale.
First, cross-platform vendors are not integrated into marketers' system of record for measurement, budget allocation and billing, also known as the ad server. Second, there has been no industry standardization for counting, or industry certification for cross-device players. Third, some of these firms happen to be ad networks trying to drive larger budgets. They really could be generating their cross-device reporting out of thin air and marketers and agencies wouldn't know the difference. We have seen Medialets fill a critical measurement and attribution gap as the only MRC-accredited mobile ad server, providing an independent and objective source of truth for mobile, while we not so patiently wait for a solve for cross-device.
The same concern applies to the leading ad servers, Atlas and DCM, as they are owned by the leading media platforms, Google and Facebook. Ideally we would want an independent player, providing the source of truth for measurement, budget allocation and billing. The challenge is that only the large media players have the scale of logged-in identity that is required to solve the measurement problem deterministically.
To create competitive advantage and influence consumer behavior, marketers must be able to target and measure at an individual level across devices. The large media platforms with logged-in identity data are in the best position to enable individual level cross-device measurement as well as get the industry past its dependency on the third-party cookie. They may not be independent and objective, but they are well-positioned to solve the problem.
Now let's play this out. It's a year from now and Google and Facebook are operating their ad servers off of IDs that are derived from logged-in identity, rather than off of third-party cookies. I would be surprised if Twitter didn't offer a competitive solution, too. There will be a new level of transparency in measurement, and reports on discrepancies between people vs. cookies will open the eyes of marketers on how flawed the third-party cookie approach has been.
An ad server, powered by the identity data, remains the single source of truth for cross-device measurement, enabling major budget shifts from TV and direct mail to mobile, tablet and desktop, accurately reflecting consumers' time spent.

6 Responses to "Counterpoint: The Third-Party Ad Server Has A Big Future"
Picking up from our conversation on Twitter (start here: https://twitter.com/telerob/status/503880209884803072), many of the issues surrounding the cookie's end of life can be resolved by Apple, Google and Microsoft exposing their platforms' in-app ad IDs (IDFA et al) to both the browser and across a user's various devices. This way, for example, a user logged into their iPhone and iPad via their iTunes account could also be linked back to their desktop machine via that same iTunes account, and similarly across the Google & Microsoft stacks. The mechanisms for notice and control already exist for and are familiar to mobile app users, and the IDs themselves have limited durability that can easily be reset on demand.
Anyone inside of Apple, Google, and/or Microsoft want to pick up this torch?
Even if Google and FB try to solve the issue, only 18% of their users are logged in cross device at any given time. There will still be an attribution issue regardless. The Direct Response advertisers that you represent at Merkle will have to start looking at digital differently and adjusting their goals as consumption of media continues to shift towards cookie-less devices.
John K, certainly marketers that have historically utilized direct response channels are excited about addressability in digital media. But as digital addressability is reaching mass scale the largest brand advertisers are actively investing in capability development and operating model change to bring the knowledge of their customers (and prospects) up into the top of the funnel. This increases advertising efficiency, lower funnel conversions and return on spend. It's difficult to find a leading brand today that isn't focused on increasing the addressability of their interaction with customers across all media and channel. A good example of this was the introduction of RLSA last year from Google, an early step to bridge the transition to addressable advertising, but still reliant on the 3rd party cookie. We should all expect a google version of Facebook's people based targeting products soon in answer to Facebook capturing more of Google's market share. While there has been greater measurement capability and accuracy in direct response marketing, digital addressability is increasing measurability of digital brand spend. And we believe all marketers would prefer to have transparency in the effectiveness of their spend. The movement in the market is revealing this trend. Top US brands are regularly able to connect with greater than 50% of their customers through logged in identities. And that will be closer to 100% before most are ready. Times are changing... And this change will only accelerate from here. Will Bordelon, Merkle, Inc.
Megan, from my perspective your analysis hits on all salient points but one: what incentive do the logged-in environments have to share the data they collect in a way that enables transparency, reach and frequency measurement, sequential messaging, and all of the other benefits available in the third-party cookie world and also desired from cross-device? I mean, cross-device isn't desired for it's own sake, right? But rather to enable the marketer to know when they are communicating with the same individual across platforms. It would seem that cross-device, within a single publisher only, is not a huge deal. Interesting, yes; better than not having it, yes; but hardly a game changer for the cookie-less conundrum if the duplication removed with "cross-device-lite" is added back in - and then some - due to silos within Facebook, Twitter, Google, Foursquare, and the list goes on.
Great analysis, Megan. It would really be nice to have an independant 3rd party ad server that could levrage some type of universal ID for cross-channel targeting. But I agree with Brennan: there's not a ton of incentive for the big guys to share. Also, there's not a lot of incentive for independents to innovate solely on ad serving, since the service has become commoditized and extremely low-margin.
Great job.
That's the point: ad serving is now a commodity and the Big Ones can not significantly increase their revenue with this kind of solutions. For them it's just another way to access more high quality data to grow their media business.
On the other end we see that marketers have higher digital budget, spread among many channels and thus they have strong expectations in term of tracking and ROI measurement.
Then I don't agree that there's not incentive for independent ad tech players: we aren't all targeting billion of dollars of revenue. 3rd party ad serving isn't the cash cow is used to be but it remains a huge market. And still many challenges here.

Dispute on the Fastest Bike
Hello and firstly I want to say that there are two thing that I want to discuss with you 1.The car penumbra featuring in gta 5 has been classified as a sport car in the classification table found at the bottom which in fact is not a sport car unless upgraded and is listed as a coupe in game and even the description in the wikia says so. 2.Recently I saw a video of a youtuber who compares the characteristic of various vehicles within the class and I saw a video of him comparing the Dinka Thrust with the Shitzu Hakuchou as the Last Team Standing dlc had been out and while watching the video we can see that the thrust is actually faster than the hakuchou but the acceleration of the thrust is too less to notice and in another video when he compares both the bati 801 and hakuchou the hakuchou is comparatively faster thus making the thrus the fastes bike in the whole game albeit really hard to notice the link for the hakuchou vs thrust is given below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9JZ8nIA9mU and the link for hakuchou vs bati 801 is given below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcwltZntUPA And some might say the bati801 rr is faster but it is just a little upgraded version of the bati 801.
I have even sited this issue to one of the Bureaucrat Messi1983 about this issue so can you please check it out quickly. ````ShadowPolaris
Hi I am a new to wikia but me and another user Andre have seen that few of the bikes are given wrong stats or are stated wrong as they are the fastest. So yesterday Andre and I saw the stats given for many motor bikes were either wrong or misguiding for example it is stated in the wikia that the fastest bike in the HD universe is the Double T Drag when its top speed is 145 kmph and many bikes other than it cross the 200 kmph mark easily. And we are starting to doubt whether most of the stats are accurate or not. Therefore if you can check the problem as soon as possible it would be better and the problem might be rectified.

Hi, thanks for the message. I'm interested in getting the removed songs from the 10th Anniversary (and now updated Steam version) edition of 'GTA San Andreas' notated on its radio page, but I have no idea how best to mark the changes. Source cited is here , that post is in regards to the updated Steam version, but they do mention that the same songs were removed on the mobile version. I saw on other forums that the 360 version was also missing the same songs. Any help would be welcome, thanks! Wackitacki (talk) 16:15, November 11, 2014 (UTC)

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

When I unearthed my family's old collection last August in Albany NY he helped me with some much needed supplies, told me which cards I should think about having graded and even showed me some of the best cards in his personal collection (some t206 tobacco cards). Ive since continued to do business with Jeff and he's given me some of the best deals to date. Jeff is a real class act and a true bright spot in a sometimes dim industry.

If The Lone Ranger and Zorro got in a fight, who would win?
If The Lone Ranger and Zorro got in a fight, who would win?
The viewers!
Hi-Yo Silver, away!
The Lone Ranger is usually straight forward while Zorro tends to be tricky and work things to his advantage. Also Zorro has no problem with killing when he has to. So, it would be close but I'd have to go with Zorro.
Always remember, Murphy was an optimist
Munchkin 1, 2, 4, 7 Super Munchkin 1&2, Munchkin Bites 1&2
I think the minute the Lone Ranger shoots the sword out of Zorro's hand the fight is over.
Hi-Yo Silver, away!
Why? Zorro is the spanish word for Fox. Foxes are sly & perform their work on the downlow. Zorro would handle the Lone Ranger as much as I love that character. It would certainly be a nice match to watch.
Jason- Man, Myth, LEGEND!
At best a draw. Ranger is as crafty as the Fox. Zorro does have the training of a professional soldier at least in ealier origin stories. The fact that he goes lethal sometimes is pointless and used too often to try and out bas@%$$ non lethal heroes. The fact that nearly all of the Rangers villains wanted him dead makes the point moot. Zorro could out trick Ranger because there are lines he won't cross. But consider this Zorro never faced a repeating firearm. A better throw down would be Zorro versus Tonto.
All I can think of is the classic scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark! We all know that TLR wouldn't kill, but how funny would it be to see this scene drawn!
I don't really want to take sides here, I love both characters but if your's saying the Ranger automatically wins just because only he has a gun, then you'd be wrong.
Zorro as per McCulley and Fairbanks who pretty much defined the character, both had him carry a gun as a matter of principal. Although he abhorred the "modern" weapons he'd use them to force a duel which he preferred.
The question or debate becomes who would be faster and more accurate on the draw, and who has the better gun. Zorro would probably get only one shot out of his old pistola to the Rangers 6-shooter. Yet it only takes one lethal shot to end it.
The other question is - if you have them time traveling to even meet each other, there's no reason Zorro wouldn't acquire the modern weapons of the time.
Or if more reasonably you play it out as a matter of descendants, Zorro's descendant and legacy would be using the most modern weapons as well as a sword.
Or in reverse - the Ranger's antecedent, let's say a man like Harry Love the Texas Ranger famous for hunting down spanish/american/mexican supposed "bandits" (aka freedom fighters depending on whose land you're on). As we see played out in The Mask of Zorro, was compelled to throw down his gun in favor of a more "respectable" or "honorable" duel with swords, as per the time.
Anyway, it's not so cut and dry. it's something a creative author could have fun with.
Here's a more whimsical and modern interpritation again not averse to using dual pistolas.
Another take on it would be Silver vs. Tornado.

Satcon Announces Restructuring Initiative As Part Of Long-Term Strategic Plan
Satcon Technology Corporation® (NASDAQ CM: SATC) today announced a set of cost reduction initiatives as part of the company's strategic plan to improve its financial performance and align its global workforce and operations infrastructure.
Under the plan, Satcon will focus product development and marketing efforts on delivering the industry's highest performing turnkey solutions for the large scale commercial and utility solar markets with concentration on North America, China, India and Thailand as well as other emerging markets in the Asia-Pacific region. Through a combination of focused research and development, enhanced operational alignment, and continued improvements in the supply chain, Satcon will concentrate its product development resources on cost reduction and delivering best-in-class performance across its entire product portfolio, including an increased emphasis on Prism Platform, Satcon's next generation turnkey multi-megawatt medium voltage building block.
Satcon will also close its Canadian manufacturing facility, and is currently working to partner with a contract manufacturer to maintain Ontario production capacity for Satcon solutions to continue to satisfy Ontario's feed-in tariff requirements. In addition, Satcon has restructured its office and warehouse infrastructure in Europe, China and the United States in order to better align with market conditions and further reduce costs.
As part of the organizational restructuring, the company will reduce its workforce by 140 employees worldwide, or approximately 35%. This reduction, combined with the closure of the Canadian facility, will result in charges of approximately $2.8 million to $3.0 million. The majority of the charges are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2011, with the remainder taking place in the first quarter of 2012. The company expects ongoing savings of approximately $15 million to $17 million annually once all actions are implemented by the second quarter of 2012.In addition to the restructuring charges, the company is currently analyzing its inventory and certain non-cancellable supplier-held inventory, and will write down the value or take a charge to reflect current market conditions. This will result in expected charges during the fourth quarter of 2011 of approximately $20 million to $26 million, with the majority of the charges comprised of non-cash items. These charges were not anticipated when the company provided its fourth quarter 2011 guidance.

Ubuntu 8.10 ProFTPD and ISPConfig 22.214.171.124 Problems!
I currently am running Ubuntu 8.10 x64 bit Server Edition.
I have installed ISPConfig 220.127.116.11 and ProFTPS.....from what I see I did everything correctly. (But then again it would be working if I did
Anyway the problem is when I go to my FTP it prompts me for the username and password, however no matter what I configure in ISPConfig for FTPUsers, nothing seems to let me login.
Bad username and password I'm assuming....I assume this because when I tried logging into my ubuntu username (richard)....It logs me directly into my home directory....and works perfectly.
So my question is, did I miss something stupid? Did I not google enought lol?
So basicaly my FTP works with all usernames in my linux box and sends them too there home directory, but a virtual user created by ISPConfig will never work for me?
Any suggestion? Thanks in advanced!

3 children hurt when gun goes off
CHINO, Calif. — Three children were injured by bullet fragments after a fellow elementary school student pulled the trigger of an assault rifle mounted on a police motorcycle during a school assembly.
The AR-15 was locked to the side of the motorcycle that was on display at Newman Elementary School on Wednesday during an anti-drug program when a student managed to fire it, Chino police spokeswoman Tamrin Olden said. "The bullet disintegrated when discharged by striking a metal plate where the barrel rests against the weapons mount," and fragments apparently struck some children, she said.

News Corp's HarperCollins May be Acquirer, Says Providence Equity's Napack
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The book industry, rattled by the surge in e-book sales through online retailers, is poised for consolidation, said Brian Napack, a former Macmillan president and senior advisor at Providence Equity Partners.
"We're in a major battle right now for the future of the industry," Napack said Wednesday at BookExpo America, the industry's annual convention held at the Javits Center in New York. "It will be very difficult for the existing major players to stand alone in the face of growing scale because they are competing for the same authors and competing for the same distribution channels. There are only so many big companies in this business."
News Corp. (NWSA)is expected to make clear its strategy for book publisher HarperCollins after Rupert Murdoch's company is split later this month, Napack said. And when it does, HarperCollins could be an acquirer, he said. HarperCollins will remain with the company's its legacy print and news businesses while its television and film units will be reorganized in a new company called 21st Century Fox.
Random House, which is owned by the German media company Bertelsmann, is expected to complete its merger with Penguin, owned by the U.K.'s Pearson, in the coming months. The merger will create the world's largest book publisher.Much of the fuel behind the consolidation of the book business, Napack said, is Amazon.com (AMZN), which has become the world's largest book retailer. Publishers are under pressure to lower costs in order to negotiate better prices with Amazon and extend their own relationships with consumers.
"It's easy and glib for us to say that Amazon doesn't care about the book business, the truth is they love the book business," said Napack, who joined Providence, the private equity firm, last year after working as Macmillan's president from 2006 to 2011. "Amazon, in its heart, is a customer relationship business while publishers, in their hearts, are author relationship companies and to a large extent
"It appears what we're seeing is a squeeze on the small and mid-sized publishers," Napack said. "There is an inexorable move and irresistible force to pursue scale. There will be a move for consolidation as companies have to look outside. We're going to see some of the big guys looking to acquire innovation, acquire consumers and manage them better." -- Written by Leon Lazaroff in New York

Nurul Izzah, and her husband Raja Ahmad Shahrir Iskandar Raja Salim are believed to have been persuaded to reconcile.
PETALING JAYA: The drama over Nurul Izzah Anwar's divorce took a new twist with news that she may be withdrawing her divorce petition Friday.
Nurul Izzah and her husband Raja Ahmad Shahrir Iskandar Raja Salim are believed to have been persuaded to reconcile.
She is expected to file her withdrawal petition at the lower Syariah Court in Jalan Duta, according to sources close to the family.
It is understood that family members had persuaded the couple to work things out after news broke online that Nurul had filed for divorce in late December.
Earlier, the PKR vice-president had refused to talk about reports that she had filed a divorce petition.
"I'm leaving now. Thank you for respecting my privacy," Nurul Izzah told reporters before leaving Asli's 16th Malaysia Strategic Outlook Conference, here.
On Twitter, at around 2pm, Nurul Izzah was asked on Twitter by Mohd Saiful Ahmad (@msaiful82): "salam, betul ke akak tuntut fasakh....keluar news... (Did you ask for a divorce? It is out in the news)."
The Lembah Pantai MP replied: "wassalam. Nope."
It was reported that Nurul Izzah had filed a divorce petition against her husband, Raja Ahmad Shahrir Iskandar Raja Salim at the lower Syariah Court at Jalan Duta.
A check of court records by The Star Online showed that a divorce case exists between the PKR vice-president and her husband.
Nurul, 33, had sought the divorce under fasakh with Raja Ahamd Shahrir Iskandar, 35.
Her husband had asked for a two-week postponement of proceedings for him to enable him to prepare his case.
Court officials confirmed that their divorce case was in the system and Nurul and her husband were both parties in the suit.
They said that the case was set for mention before lower Syariah Court judge Ab Malek Awang.

Homeland Security grant going to fight terrorism
To increase the County's ability to prevent and respond to terrorism, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a $5.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's 2006 Los Angeles/Long Beach Urban Area Security Grant, announced Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.The grant will authorize the Department of Health Services' Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Agency, to continue to improve emergency preparedness, response, and planning capabilities as well as the purchase of the necessary equipment to respond to acts of terrorism, natural disasters, and public health emergencies. Included for purchase under this grant are a mobile hospital and personal radiation equipment. "Unlike the local agencies responsible for emergency operations following hurricane Katrina, Los Angeles County is actively prepared to save lives and protect property in the event of a catastrophe," said Antonovich. "Mutual Aid contracts and our on-going preparedness exercises test our preparedness and sharpen our ability to effectively react when disaster strikes, whether it be an earthquake, riot, biological or chemical attack."
Parents, teachers and employers are encouraged to create their own disaster plans at home, in their neighborhoods, and at work to be prepared for all disasters. For more information on disaster preparedness visit the county's website at espfocus.org.

> [3] http://meiert.com/en/blog/20080207/selector-variables/ Though I think I've phrased the original suggestion rather poorly, I still believe in the value of variables for selectors. Keeping this quite brief, are there any plans to extend the Variables Module in this regard? What would be needed to consider an addition? -- Jens O.

"We're presenting this bike to Tom Cruise. Where is the little bugger? Is he swimming in a tea cup again?"View Full Size
When formulating a Tom Cruise joke as I see it you basically have 3 options to choose from: height, closeted gayness & cult religion.
Height is the old school road to take. It's all good.
