Go against a team of jump slicers & let me know if parry works..
I definitely have and works every time. If their teammates are close enough, they get parried by default. So instead of parrying just 1, I get 2 or sometimes 3 caught in it. Then I usually like to throw my magic and damage everyone.

Yes it is easy to parry, against people that do it constantly and new players.
Yup I don''t have a problemm with jump slicers. The more the merrier, if you ask me. I parry it all the time. Sorry Thanatos, I disagree with you here.

On a national day of "emergency rallies," a small group of women gathered on the corner of South Main Street and Southwest Second Avenue to protest the $700 billion government bailout for Wall Street.
TrueMajority, a grassroots group founded by Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen, encouraged the day of protest against government funds being used to save struggling financial corporations.
In Gainesville, the protest attracted five people.
The event's planner, Gabriela Waschewsky, and four other women showed up in front of the courthouse at the 5 p.m. starting time.
Waschewsky, a member of Gainesville's Green Party, said in an interview before the protest that this was the first time she has organized a political event. Waschewsky said she's trying to get herself and others involved in politics.
"If there are people who are actually going out and standing on a corner for hours, it shows that they're a little more interested in this issue," she said.
Though the turnout was lower than she intended, the women said their piece about the state of the economy.
Fe Ripka, another protester and a member of the women's political group CodePink, said the bailouts are merely giving money to big corporations, robbing taxpayers of their money.
Ripka, who waved a sign that said "Health care for all," said she lived in Bradford County but often came to Gainesville to protest.
JAnn Murray, a staffer of the Alachua County Labor Party, said it was important to show a stance on the bailout issue because it's affecting everyone.
"They're just using this scare tactic and time constraints to force us to go along with what they want us to do," Murray said. "You don't have to just swallow it."

This event is all ages
http://www.utphilly.com/event/475927/Wye Oak
Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack have been playing music together and apart in Baltimore for most of their lives. On stage, they perform with raw energy and sophistication, creating a surprising amount of noise for two people. Their music can be classified as 21st-century folk music, imbued with dense shoegaze guitars, nearly melodic rhythms, and impeccable splashes of electronic color.
Braids, the Canadian experimental pop group who released Native Speaker in 2011, have reinvented themselves in the making of their second full length. After 18 months of touring in support of their debut, along with the departure of a band member, the group secluded themselves in their Montreal studio for a year of writing and recording. While Native Speaker was written in an organic and live environment, the group sought to explore a more introspective and electronic approach to songwriting. Sonically, the songs from these sessions are delicate and tight, yet thoughtfully open up to the rich lushness reminiscent of their older material. Lyrically they are honest and vulnerable, demonstrating the group's emotional growth and maturity since their last record.

2012 irrigated corn, soybean yields defy drought
LINCOLN—Nebraska irrigated corn and soybean yields reached their second-highest averages in history in drought-plagued 2012, but yields for their dryland counterparts were at their lowest averages in about 30 years.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agriculture Statistics Service reported state average yields of corn and soybeans of 190 bushels per acre and 59 bushels per acre, respectively, under irrigation—second only to 2009 for corn and 2011 for soybean.
Under dryland conditions, average yields were 61 bushels per acre for corn and 25 bushels per acre for soybean, lowest since 1983 for the former and '84 for the latter.
"The low dryland yields were not surprising given that the rainfall during the crop growing season did not exceed 10 inches at most locations, which is about half of the rain amount in a typical year," said Patricio Grassini, research associate professor in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's agronomy and horticulture department.
The 2012 irrigated corn yield average was 10 bushels above the 2011 yield and five bushels above the 2005-11 average. Highest county level averages were reported in south central Nebraska, ranging from 205 to 220, according to NASS.
It was a very different story for dryland corn. That 59 bushel/acre average was 74 bushels below the 2011 average and 68 bushels below the 2005-11 average.
The highest county-level average dryland corn yields, in the range of 80 to 100 bushels/acre were reported in counties on the east central and east south edges of the state and in two counties in south central Nebraska.
Nebraska statewide irrigated soybean yield in 2012 of 60.7 bushels/acre was only 0.4 bushel below the 2011 irrigated soybean average and 2 bushels above the past seven-year average (2005-2011). The highest county-level average irrigated soybean yields, in the range of 66 to 70 bushels, were reported for counties in south central Nebraska.
For dryland soybean, the statewide average yield of 25 bushels/acre was 23 bushels below the 2011 average, and 20 bushels below the past seven-year average (2005-2011). The highest county-level average dryland soybean yields, in the range of 32 to 38 bu/ac, were reported for counties in the east central and east south edges of the state and for two counties in south central Nebraska.

Individual types of retinal neurons are distributed to minimize proximity to neighboring cells. Many of these same cell types extend dendrites to provide coverage of the retinal surface. These two cardinal features of retinal mosaics are disrupted, for certain cell types, in mice deficient for the Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule, Dscam, exhibiting an aberrant clustering of somata and fasciculation of dendrites. The Dscam mutant mouse retina also exhibits excess numbers of these same cell types. The present study compared these two features in Dscam mutant retinas with the Bax knockout retina, in which excess numbers of two of these cell types, the melanopsin-positive retinal ganglion cells (MRGCs) and the dopaminergic amacrine cells (DACs), are also present. Whole retinas were immunolabeled for both populations, and every labeled soma was plotted. For the MRGCs, we found a gene dosage effect for Dscam, with the Dscam+/− retinas showing smaller increases in cell number, clustering, and fasciculation. Curiously, Bax−/− retinas, showing numbers of MRGCs intermediate to those found in the Dscam−/− and Dscam+/− retinas, also had clustering and fasciculation phenotypes that were intermediate to retinas with those genotypes. DACs, by comparison, showed changes in both the Dscam−/− and the Bax−/− retinas that did not correlate with their increases in DAC number. The fasciculation phenotype in the Dscam−/− retina was particularly prominent despite only modest clustering. These results demonstrate that the somal clustering and fasciculation observed in the Dscam mutant retina are not unique to Dscam deficiency and are manifested distinctively by different retinal cell types.

Electric EG2 Goggle
These look great, and have a nice big lens that will allow you to wear glasses underneath, unfortunately your glasses will fog up under these, and then these will fog up shortly after. They were too big for my head and left a gap above my nose, fogged up far too quickly, and didn't really seem worth the money.
The quality seemed okay on the frames, but the lenses looked like they would scratch up just by looking at them, all but one eg2 in two different stores had a scratch on the lens, and the fogged up far too quickly for how much i paid, so I exchanged them for von zipper feenoms, which had a slightly better anti fog, and came with an extra lens, and still provided lots of peripheral vision for slightly less $$$

Smith I/O Interchangeable Optics Spherical Series Goggles
my impression
These are decent goggles, They are smaller than electric eg2 and vonzipper feenom, both of which could accommodate my glasses. The I/o can still be worn over my glasses but it is a tight fit.
The vents on the bottom are fairly small, but I think that may be a good thing since it will let less warm breath in.
The hard case and bag are decent quality, I just wish that the foam around the goggles were triple density, the quality didn't feel at par as the other two goggles I mentioned, but they are still decent.
These fog less than the other two as well.
As for the lenses that come with this goggle, I think the ignitor is great for cloudy/partly cloudy conditions, and when the sun is at your back - I can see clearly without it being too dark or too bright, however if you find yourself facing the sun for any period of time on a clear day then they aren't sufficient enough to block it out. The sensor lens is only good in the dark. Mine didn't have the clip on the back of the strap so I don't know if that's a new thing but I prefer it anyway since the clip looked cheap and flimsy.
Overall not a bad goggle, good accessories and good anti fog, improvements could have been made in the quality of the foam and maybe including a slightly darker lens than the ignitor, possibly the platinum lens.
I would recommend the feenoms if they are at the same price point, but I found the I/O for about $50 less so I'm going to stick with these

W.G. Grace Ate My Pedalo: A Curious Cricket CompendiumFreddie Flintoff and W.G. Grace: Together at last! W.G. Grace Ate My Pedalo is a spoof 1896 periodical from The Wisden Cricketer archives that looks at cricketing events of 2010 through a Victorian lens. Funny, irreverent and lavishly illustrated, the book draws inspiration from the exuberant sporting papers of the Victorian era to lampoon England cricketers new and old. From Queen Victoria's views on women's cricket to Freddie Flintoff's heroic defiance of the Temperance Movement, no figure - historical or contemporary - is safe. A comedy cricket book of wit, intelligence and cheek that will appeal to cricket fans of all ages, be they members of the MCC or the Barmy Army. |

text: Swami Vivekananda in Punjab Compiled by Sanjeev Nayyar April 2005 Through one of the Sikh yahoo groups I got to know that Swamiji had said great things about Guru Govind Singhji. I went to the Ramakrishna Mission close to home but they did not have book references handy. During that period I got to know a Swami in Brazil who told me about an article published in the Prabuddha Bharata in the 1990"s. Again I went to the Mission and searched their library but we could not find the relevant issue. I had nearly given up hope by then. However, a friend Rajib Sarkar asked me to speak with brother Tilak, a great admirer of the Guru. Tilak mailed me some links thereafter. Those links took me to Ramakrishna Math Chennai who promptly gave me the references in Swamiji"s Complete Works. Armed with this info went to the main Mission Library at Khar in Mumbai. The Swami there told me that only members could access the library. Having come this far there was no way I was going back empty handed. I sat opposite the Swami with this very helpless yet determined look. I guess the Swami was testing me because after half an hour he allowed me to access the library. I started with the Prabuddha Bharata issue of January 1990 and eventually found Jasbir"s article in the June 97 issue. I wanted to make a copy but Mission rules prohibit non-members from taking books out of the library. The Swami agreed to photocopy the article and asked me to send my man the next day to collect it. Thanks to Ajay for typing the article. I present Swamiji"s views in two parts. Part one is the article by Jasbir, part 2 are excerpts from The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Swami Vivekanda in Punjab Chapter 1 Courtesy Prabuddha Bharata By Jasbir Kaur Ahuja Swami Vivekananda"s reverence for the great Guru Nanak and the other Sikh gurus who followed him, especially for Guru Gobind Singh, is generally known. Possibly this is what prompted him accept an invitation to visit the (then undivided) Punjab during his travels in North India after his first return to India from the West. The following article draws our attention to that visit, to some of the inspiring ideas that came from him during his lectures there, and to Swamiji"s influence on Swami Ramatirtha. The author, a senior Lecturer in English at the Government Junior Service Training Centre, Patiala, Punjab, is an occasional contributor to the PB for the past several years. Recently she has written a short biography of Swamiji in the Punjab language. Thirteen August 1897 was a red-letter day in the history of the Punjab. It was on this day that Swami Vivekananda, after broadcasting his spiritual message in the West and a whirlwind tour extending from Colombo to Almora, came to Ambala, then a part of the Punjab. He was an unknown monk when he left India for Chicago on 31 May 1893; but when he came back, the whole country rose as one man to welcome him. It was America, which discovered the cyclonic monk and gifted him to India. On his return there were multiple invitations for him from every nook and corner of India to deliver lectures. Heeding the request, the Swami started a series of lectures, which are today known as "Lectures from Colombo to Almora". His first public lecture in the East was delivered on 16 Januray 1897, at Colombo where he had landed the previous day, after his memorable work in the West. In response to the invitations from the Punjab and Kashmir, the Swami traveled through those ports. He visited Ambala, Amritsar, Dharamsala, Rawalpindi, Murree, Srinagar, Jammu, Sialkot and Lahore, and delivered lectures at most of these places. He stayed in Kashmir and Jammu for over a month, and his work there was very much appreciated by the Maharaja and his brothers. He delivered three lectures at Lahore (of the undivided Punjab) in November 1897, the topic being, "Problems Before Us", "Bhakti, and "Vedanta". S. Puran Singh, a great Punjabi poet and writer, was an eyewitness to these lectures. He writes in The Story of Swami Rama - "One of the causes, which led him (Swami Rama) to seek the role of a monk, in my opinion, was his meeting with Swami Vivekananda at Lahore. Swami Vivekananda at Lahore was quite an inspiration to the people of the Punjab; his divine eloquence, his burning renunciation, his strength, his power of personality, his gigantic intellect, all made a deep impression on the people. Perhaps his lecture on "Vedanta" at Lahore was one of the most brilliant pieces of oratory. It was in those days that Swami Vivekananda was made the admiring witness of the Amrita ceremony of Guru Gobind Singh. In his address, Swami Vivekananda spoke of the "Punjab of the lion- hearted Guru Gobind Singh". The Swami was a great admirer of Guru Gobind Singh". Puran Singh further writes: "The Swami was put up at Dhyan Singh"s Haveli, and I distinctly remember to this moment the huge number of turbaned masses of Lahore that had assembled in the large hall to listen to the Swami. I was then a little boy reading in the college for the intermediate examination of the Punjab University. The scene has been impressed indelibly on my memory. The hall was filled and there was an overflow of people in the courtyard. People eager to see the Swami pressed each other shoulder to shoulder, to pass into the hall. The Swami seeing these earnest unmanageable crowds announced that he would lecture in the open air. The enclosure, the courtyard of the Haveli, is a large one, and there is a temple-like structure with a raised platform in the center. The Swami ascended the platform and there he stood-superb, a giant in his superb physique, robed in orange like a Rishi of old, with his large fiery eyes magnetizing the very air. He had a dopatta swung round him and he had a large orange turban in the fashion of a Punjabi. This lion of Vedanta roared and thundered for hours, keeping the Punjabis spellbound and lifting them up to the delectable heights of his mental eminence. Lahore was struck by one who owed his inspiration to no less a personage than Paramahansa Ramakrishna. One could see the flame of inspiration burning before him in this great person. I did not know Swami Rama then, but it was he who arranged all those lectures, and he was of the opinion that Swami Vivekananda was at his best while speaking on Vedanta, for that was his subject. This visit of Swami Vivekananda, no doubt, strengthened the silent ambitions of the young Swami Rama for leading the life of a monk and to go round the world, preaching Vedanta like Vivekananda. Swami Vivekananda had already defined Vedanta from a practical point of view, and just as modern educated India, by the contact of the West, has discovered the greatness of Bhagavad-Gita in its gospel of duty, so did Swami Vivekananda interpret Shankaracharya"s Advaita Vedanta philosophy in terms of Bhakti, Karma, and even patriotism and humanity. Swami Vivekananda was the first to apply Vedanta even to politics. And it was after meeting with Swami Vivekananda that Swami Rama made up his mind definitely. He had found an exemplar and an interpreter of the comprehensive kind of Advaita Vedanta that he was already evolving within himself. It was the example of Swami Vivekananda that gave tongue to his dumb self-realization, and then he went roaming in the Himalayas and he came down preaching the same practical Vedanta, which Swami Vivekananda preached. Speaking on the "Problems Before Us" the first of his three lectures there, Swami Vivekananda, greeting the brave people of the Punjab, admiring the beauty of the spiritual land of five rivers, and paying tribute to the greatness of Guru Nanak, said: This is the land, which is held to be the holiest even in holy Aryavarta; this is the Brahmavarta of which our great Manu speaks. This is the land from whence arose that mighty aspiration after the Spirit, may, which in times to come, as history shows, is to deluge the world. This is the land where, like its mighty rivers, spiritual aspirations have arisen and joined their strength, till they traveled over the length and breadth of the world and declared themselves with a voice of thunder. This is the land, which had first to bear the brunt of all inroads and invasions into India; this heroic land had first to bare its bosom to every onslaught of the outer barbarians into Aryavarta. This is the land which, after all its suffering has not yet entirely lost its glory and its strength. Here it was that in later times the gentle Nanak preached his marvelous love for the world. Here it was that his broad heart was opened and his arms outstretched to embrace the whole world, not only of Hindus, but of Mohammedans too. Swami Vivekananda was greatly impacted by the personality and teaching Guru Gobind Singh. He recognized Gobind Singh as one of the most glory heroes of our race. Towards the end same lecture, referring to the conception of religion as realization, whose fruit is universal love and compassion and eulogizing grandeur of the tenth Guru for his universal love and broad vision, said: Mark me, then and then alone you are a Hindu when the very name sends through you a galvanic shock of strength. Then and then alone you are a Hindu when every man who bears name from any country, speaking your language or any other language, becomes at once the nearest and the dearest to you. Then and then alone you are a Hindu when the distress of anyone bearing that name comes to your heart and makes you fell as if your own son were in distress. Then and then alone you a Hindu when you will be ready to give up everything for them, like the great example… of Guru Govind Singh… You might see thousands of defects in your countrymen, but mark their Hindu blood. They are the first Gods you will have to worship even if they do everything to hurt you, even if everyone of them send out a curse to you, you send out to them words of love. In the second lecture on "Bhakti" delivered on 9 November 1897, Swamiji likened Bhakti to a triangle of which the first angle was that love knew no want and the second that love knew no fear. Love for reward & for return service of any kind was the beggar"s religion, the shopkeeper"s religion with very little religion in it. People should not behave like beggars because in the first place beggary is a sign of atheism. Foolish indeed is the man who living on the banks of the Ganga digs a little well to drink water. So is the man who begs material objects from God. In his third lecture on "Vedanta", delivered on 12 November 1897, Swamiji made an impassioned appeal for making Vedanta practical, for bringing it out of caves and forests where it so long existed as rahasya (secret) and making it applicable to the everyday life of the people. According to Tirtham Goswami, "..this lasted for full two and a half hours. The listeners were so deeply engrossed and it created such an atmosphere that all ideas of home and space were lost. At times one reached the stage of realization of absolute abheda (non-difference) between oneself and the cosmic Atman. It struck at the roots of ego and pride itself. In short, it was such a good success as you come by once in a way". No account of Swamiji"s visit to the Punjab will be complete without reference to a seemingly insignificant incident connected with Swami Rama. Before Swami Vivekananda left Lahore, Swami Rama presented him with a gold watch. Swamiji took it very kindly, but put it back in Swami Rama"s pocket, saying, "Very well friend I shall wear it here in this pocket". Swami Vivekananda inspired our countrymen to follow the example of Guru Gobind Singh, who sacrificed his all for the sake of religion. It is because of the example set by and inspiration from such saints the India is alive today. Iqbal sang: Yunan-o-Misr-o-Roam, sub mit gaye jahan se Ab tak magar hai bagi nam-o-nishan hamara Kuch baat hai ki hasti mitti nahin hamari Sadion raha hai dushman daur-e-zaman hamara. We are still vibrant even though Greek, Egyptian and Roman culture have ceased to exist. It is not without reason that we have not been obliterated even though for centuries we had enemies around. Excerpts from Works Chapter 2 1. Volume 3, Page 379 of Complete Works chapter The Common Basis of Hinduism. "Mark me, then and then alone you are a Hindu when the very name sends through you a galvanic shock of strength. Then and then alone you are a Hindu when every man who bears the name, from any country, speaking our language or any other language, becomes at once the nearest and the dearest to you. Then and then alone you are a Hindu when the distress of anyone bearing that name comes to your heart and makes you fell as if your own son were in distress. Then and then alone you are a Hindu when you will be ready to bear everything for them, like the great example I have quoted at the beginning of this lecture, of your great Guru Govind Singh. Driven out from this country, fighting against its oppressors, after having shed his own blood for the defence of the Hindu religion, after having seen his children killed on the battlefield- ay, this example of the great Guru, left even by those for whose sake he was shedding his blood and the blood of his own nearest and dearest-he, the wounded lion, retired from the field calmly to die in the South, but not a word of curse escaped his lips against those who had ungratefully forsaken him! Mark me; every one of you will have to be a Govind Singh, if you want to do good to your country. You may see thousands of defects in your countrymen, but mark their Hindu blood. They are the first Gods you will have to worship even if they do everything to hurt you, even if everyone of them send out a curse to you, you send out to them words of love. If they drive you out, retire to die in silence like that mighty lion, Govind Singh. Such a man is worthy of the name of Hindu; such an ideal ought to be before us always. All our hatches let us bury; send out this grand current of love all around". 2. Volume 6 Page 166 of Complete Works chapter Historical Evolution of India One great prophet, however, arose in the north, Govind Singh, the last Guru of the Sikhs, with creative genius; and the result of his spiritual work was followed by the well-known political organization of the Sikhs. We have seen throughout the history of India, a spiritual upheaval is almost always succeeded by a political unity extending over more or less area of the continent, which in its turn helps to strengthen the spiritual aspiration that brings it to being. But the spiritual aspiration that preceded the rise of the Mahratta or the Sikh empire was entirely reactionary. We seek in vain to find in the court of Poona or Lahore even a ray of reflection of that intellectual glory which surrounded the courts of the Muguls, much less the brilliance of Malava or Vidyanagara. It was intellectually the darkest period of Indian history; and both these meteoric empires, representing the upheaval of mass-fanaticism and hating culture with all their hearts lost all their motive power as soon as they had succeeded in destroying the rule of the hated Mohammedans. 3. Volume 6 Page 513 of Complete Works chapter Conversations & Dialogues. [Place: Balaram Babu"s residence, Calcutta. Year: 1898.] Swamiji had been staying during the last two days at Balaram Babu"s residence at Baghbazar. He was taking a short stroll on the roof of the house, and the disciple with four or five others was in attendance. While walking to and fro, Swamiji took up the story of Guru Govind Singh and with his great eloquence touched upon the various points in his life - how the revival of the Sikh sect was brought about by his great renunciation, austerities, fortitude, and life-consecrating labors-how by his initiation he re-Hinduised Mohammedan converts and took them back into the Sikh community- and how on the banks of the Narmada he brought his wonderful life to a close. Speaking of the great power that used to be infused in those days into the initiates of Guru Govind, Swamiji recited a popular Doha (couplet) of the Sikhs: The meaning is: "When Guru Govind gives the Name, i.e. the initiation, a single man becomes strong enough to triumph over a lakh and quarter of his foes." Each disciple, deriving from his inspiration a real spiritual devotion had his soul filled with such wonderful heroism! While holding forth thus on the glories of religion, Swamiji"s eyes dilating with enthusiasm seemed to be emitting fire, and his hearers, dumb-stricken and looking at his face, kept watching the wonderful sight. After a while the disciple said: "Sir, it was very remarkable that Guru Govind could unite both Hindus and Mussulamans within the fold of his religion and lead them both towards the same end. In Indian history, no other example of this can be found." Swamiji: Men can never be united unless there is a bond of common interest. You can never unite people merely by getting up meetings, societies, and lectures if their interests be not one and the same. Guru Govind made it understood everywhere that the men of his age, be they Hindus or Mussulmans, were living under a regime of profound injustice and oppression. He did not create any common interest; he only pointed it out to the masses. And so both Hindus and Mussulmans followed him. He was a great worshipper of Shakti. Yet, in Indian history, such an example is indeed very rare. Friends, every time I see the picture of Swami Vivekananda in orange robes with those big eyes something within me stirs as if saying get up and work hard for India"s success, annihilate her enemies.

Hanging Parasite Office Makes the Most of Unused Urban Space in Moscow
Posted By Lori Zimmer On June 16, 2014 @ 3:00 pm In Architecture,carousel showcase,gallery,Urban design | 3 Comments
Za Bor Architects [4]' Parasite Office caters to Moscow's new emphasis on modern design, while providing a plan for new offices that do not disrupt the cityscape. The Parasite Office is is attached one story up between two adjacent brick buildings, leaving the roadway below unharmed. Traffic and pedestrians [6] can continue to travel from the front of the buildings to the courtyards at the rear.
The three-story office is accessible by an outer staircase, and it also has guarded roof access [7]. The interior is thoroughly modern and features windows and walls made from polygonal shapes. The floor plan inside is as quirky as the dimensional outside, making it the perfect creative space for a design office. At night, the building glows from within [8], as the walls are semi-translucent on the street side and have a flat, glazed back on the courtyard side.

The purpose of our club is to bring about the association of individuals of Irish descent or relationship, in whole or in part, for the purpose of conducting educational and benevolent activities of all kinds, including the conducting of meetings, conducting forums and research into Irish culture, providing funds for the study of Irish music, dance, and humanities, presentation of Irish culture to community at large and the pursuit of cultural advancement of the Irish through cooperative means with local communities and institutional organizations.
Tenants are in the rental house! The transformation to the interior is amazing, with polished hardwood floors, new windows, walls repaired and painted throughout, new kitchen floor and ceiling, appliances replaced, carpeting upstairs, and more! Countless hours, days, and weeks were donated by IHSM volunteers to make this happen.
Now that the house is completed and occupied, the focus will be on finishing the clubhouse. The next phase will involve the professional contractors who are volunteering their time and expertise, but when they're done, the call will go out again for member volunteers for painting and other tasks. So keep your old clothes handy!
Last Tuesday of the month, at Costa Azzurra, 72 Broadway. Social hour at 6:30, Business meeting at 7:30.
POSTPONEMENT OF January meeting on 1/27/2015 due to blizzard warnings!
Meeting will be held Thursday, January 29th, instead, same time, same place.
Reservations and payments for the IHSM Annual Corned Beef Dinner can be made at the Activities table during the Social Hour. The date of the event is Saturday, March 7th, and full details on the News and Happenings page, along with other upcoming events and activities!
Membership meetings are held on the last Tuesday of each month, preceded by a social hour; monthly Happy Hours and luncheons are well attended. Annual events have included a Ladies' Brunch, Irish Man and Woman of the Year, Tara Theatre production, Family Picnic, Irish Festival, Christmas Party, various children's activities, and Irish cultural programs.
It is only fitting that the Irish Heritage Society of Milford had its beginning in the month of March! In 2006, Martin Hardiman and Christopher McEnerney, who had worked together on the Milford St. Patrick's Day Parade, frequently discussed the possibility of forming an Irish Club in Milford. They placed a small article in the local newspaper announced that a meeting would be held, inviting anyone interested, and over 80 people attended in response!
From this first meeting, volunteers came forward and formed committees. The By-Laws committee held meetings and presented the by-laws to members at the May 2006 meeting. The Irish Heritage Society of Milford (IHSM) was now an official non-profit club located in Milford, with co-founders Marty and Chris serving as the first co-Presidents, along with an elected Executive Board.
The IHSM wasted no time in becoming active in Milford and the surrounding area. In August 2006, the group had a booth at the Milford Oyster Festival, and in September 2006, at the young age of 6 months, members had organized their 1st Annual Irish Festival. Within the following year, the tradition of the Lyle James Memorial Golf Tournament was begun, providing funding for three scholarships, awarded each year, as well as other local charities.
Proudly displaying its impressive array of all of Ireland's county flags, the IHSM has marched in parades from New Haven to Mystic to Yonkers, NY, and at Irish nights for both the NY Mets and the Bridgeport Bluefish.
The membership of the IHSM, numbering around 200 by the end of 2006, has doubled in size, and along with its elected leaders, is working together toward the ultimate goal of a permanent home, a clubhouse of their own.

How do I get there?
You will be flying into Quito, Ecuador arriving Saturday. Cheryl will meet you at the airport. In our experience, flights from U.S. and Canada vary from $800 to $1,200 based on where you originate. On-line travel sites give great prices if you have the patience to check several times over a week or two. You can trust the South American Airlines such as Copa and Taca. They are safe, efficient and still include FULL meals on each flight with a glass of wine included! Once you have your flight arrangements, please email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
What time should I arrive?
The Chautauqua includes all meals beginning with dinner/snack on Saturday the 7th ending with lunch on the 14th. Most flights arrive late evening and depart late evening or after midnight. We realize many want to use frequent flyer miles for their flight and may arrive at odd hours. We will do our best to accommodate you for transportation within a reasonable time of the beginning of the Retreat. For the day of departure, we will provide transport for all flights that day up to midnight, leaving from the Hacienda. You are free to leave your luggage at the Hacienda on Saturday and sight see. We can also assist you in booking a Quito tour if you wish to do that for an additional cost on Saturday.
What type of people attend?
We have had people from all walks of life attend and all have had one Big thing in common: They are seeking to lead a different life. Many have said they found their tribe at the Chautauqua and have made life long friends. People have come from as far away as South Africa, Scotland, Australia and the United Kingdom with the majority arriving from the U.S. and Canada. We have woman and men who have traveled alone along with couples and friends. Now we are just waiting for YOU!
Do I need a Visa to enter Ecuador?
American Citizens do not need a Visa prior to arriving in Ecuador. Your passport will be stamped with a 90 day Tourism Visa on arrival at the airport. Citizens arriving from other countries should check on-line for your Visa requirements.
Do I need any vaccines before coming?
You will not be in a malaria region, but check with your physician or on-line if you have any doubts. You may want to pack anti-diarrhea medicine just in case, because intestinal issues can always be a problem when traveling to a new country. Bottled water will always be on hand.
What are the room arrangements?
Couples and Individuals will have their own room with private bath.
What is NOT included in the price?
Your retreat fee covers everything from 6 p.m. Saturday the day of arrival until noon on the day of departure. Alcoholic beverages, gifts, or other personal expenses are not included in the price. You are also encouraged to purchase your own trip insurance at www.insuremytrip.com.
What clothing should I bring?
The weather will vary. Quito and Otavalo have temps that are cooler at night and can get down into the low 50's because of the higher altitude ((8,500 to 9,200 feet). No one believes it, but it can get chilly!! Please pack a jacket! During the day it is in the 70's. Dress in layers. Dress casual. Bring a rain jacket and hiking shoes or boots.
What else should I bring?
SUNSCREEN! You will be on the equator and the sun is very intense. A hat and a light long sleeve shirt would also be good protection. A camera!! Ecuador has amazing views around every corner that you won't want to miss. Extra money for gifts and other personal needs. Bring cash. Small bills are preferable because for some odd reason, Ecuadorians never have change. Make sure the that bills are in good condition because bills that are torn, stained or written on may not be accepted. Credit cards are frequently not accepted, especially in smaller establishments. Travelers checks are not accepted at most places.
While we are doing everything in our power to make this a very special and wonderful experience for all attendees, these are a few things you might want to consider before you sign up.
- As wonderful as we think Ecuador is, it is important to remember that this is a 3rd world country. This means things don't always go smoothly or as planned. If you find the unexpected upsetting or unacceptable this is not the Event for you. If, on the other hand, you see such things as part of the adventure, you'll fit right in.
- This is a Spanish speaking country. If your reaction to this is "Well, duh!" you'll fit right in. But we've heard enough North Americans complain about this to include it. BTW, you don't have to speak any Spanish. The Chautauqua will be conducted in English and when we roam around, we'll have bilingual folks to smooth the way. If you do speak a bit a Spanish that's great. You'll find a warm response from the local people when you try.
- Refunds. You will be asked to pay for your trip in three installments, beginning with $500 non-refundable deposit due with your registration. We are a small company and the success of this Chautauqua depends on people being seriously committed when they sign up. That said, should events beyond your control force you to cancel, we will refund half your registration if cancelled one month prior to the event. If we are able to fill your space, we will refund the entire balance of the registration.

Attackers Can Use IPv6 to Launch Man-in-the-Middle Attacks
Attackers Can Use IPv6 to Launch Man-in-the-Middle Attacks
Fahmida Y. Rashid
Posted 2011-04-26
Attackers are already using IPv6 networks to attack users on IPv4 networks. One security researcher outlines one possible attack scenario.
Organizations face several information security challenges as they transition from IPv4 to IPv6, according to security experts. The difficulties are compounded by the fact that some attackers are using the IPv6 address space to sneak attacks onto IPv4 networks. Even though the
transition to IPv6
has been notoriously slow amongst organizations, many cyber-criminals have already made the switch, James Lyne, director of technology strategy at Sophos, told eWEEK. Many scammers are pushing out spam over the IPv6 infrastructure and taking advantage of misconfigured firewalls.
Many modern firewalls are configured by default to just let IPv6 traffic pass through, Lyne said. Organizations not interested in IPv6 traffic should be setting up rules to explicitly block IPv6 packets, according to Lyne. IT managers need "to know how to talk IPv6" so they can write appropriate rules to handle the protocol correctly, he said.
"From an industry standpoint, we are selling IPv6 wrong," Lyne said, noting there has been little discussion about how the protocol's built-in features help increase privacy. Instead, the general perception of IPv6 as being hard to implement or confusing has made organizations vulnerable to potential attacks. As a general rule, IPv4 and IPv6 networks operate in parallel. Computers with the legacy IPv4 addresses can't access servers and Websites operating on the
newer IPv6 address space
. With the
near-exhaustion of IPv4 addresses
, organizations are being encouraged to switch over to IPv6 or be unable to get newer IP addresses. The Asia Pacific Network Information Center, the registration Internet registry responsible for assigning IP addresses to the Asia-Pacific region, recently announced that all new requests will be assigned IPv6 addresses. A security researcher has recently identified a scenario in which attackers could launch man-in-the-middle attacks over an IPv6 network. Attackers would overlay a "parasitic" IPv6 network on top of the targeted IPv4 network to intercept Internet traffic, Alec Waters, a security researcher for
InfoSec Institute
, wrote on the institute's blog on April 4. His proof-of-concept attack considered only Windows 7 systems, but would also work on Windows Vista, Windows 2008 Server and any operating system with IPv6 enabled by default, Waters said.
For the attack to succeed, the attacker would need to gain physical access to the targeted network long enough to connect an IPv6 router, according to Waters. In the case of a corporate network, the attacker would need to connect the IPv6 router to the existing IP4 hub, but for a public WiFi hotspot, it may be as simple as dropping an IPv6 router to piggyback on the wireless signal. The rogue IPv6 router would automatically create new IPv6 addresses using fake router advertisements for all the IPv6-enabled machines on the network. Router advertisements act like DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) for IPv6 addresses, as it provides a pool of addresses that a host can pick up, according to Johannes Ullrich, chief research officer at
SANS Institute
. Machines can become IPv6-ready without the user or IT manager knowing. Even though the system already has an IPv4 address assigned by the enterprise, it gets shuffled onto the IPv6 network because of the way the operating system handles IPv6. Modern operating systems default to IPv6 as the preferred connection by design if the machine has both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses assigned, according to Lyne. Since the IPv6 systems can't communicate with the enterprise's actual IPv4 router, the systems have to go through the malicious router, Waters said. Attackers can then use a tunnel to translate IPv6 addresses to IPv4, such as NAT-PT, he said. NAT-PT is an experimental IPv4-to-IPv6-transition mechanism, but it's not a widely supported mechanism because of its many issues. "Just because it's an obsolete mess doesn't mean it can't be useful," Waters said. With NAT-PT, machines with IPv6 addresses access the IPv4 Internet through the malicious router, giving attackers full visibility in their Internet activity, he said. The severity of the attack is under dispute, according to Jack Koziol, a senior instructor and security program manager at InfoSec Institute. According to the vulnerability listing on the
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
list (maintained by MITRE), "it can be argued that preferring IPv6 complies with RFC 3484 [the IPv6 protocol], and that attempting to determine the legitimacy of an RA is currently outside the scope of recommended behavior of host operating systems." Organizations that don't need IPv6 or haven't made the transition yet should turn off IPv6 on all systems, according to Ullrich. Otherwise, the organization should "monitor and defend it like IPv4," Ullrich said.

elephantparty 5pts No Ford Flex? My wife and I just test drove an EcoBoost Limited yesterday - WOW...what a roomy, nice family hauler! I wish I had the money to buy one today! It would fit our three dogs, luggage, and future children perfectly! Power and safety to spare!
KMG1219 5pts The Subaru Outback and Honda Odyssey are not stylish, who the heck came up with this list?
redbloodedxy 5pts BMWs are a man's car. Hard seats, stiff ride and masculine color schemes assert that. Not sure how it made this list.
elytsrac_ 5pts I think Volvos plan to have nobody seriously injured or killed by 2020 is a joke. We had a 1998 Volvo S70 and that WAS the worst car on the road. Sure, you can protect someone from a crash, but Volvo has completely forgot that you also have to have a reliable car. The S70 we owned had so many problems that would qualify as recall situations so commonly, I am surprised we didn't burn in a car fire.
desertmodern 5pts Ford and Volvo have the hotties in this generally attractive group. The Subaru is a mess.
rederfordfan 5pts There's only 3 lookers on this list, the Volvo, Cx5, and Fusion! I don't care what anybody says the Odyssey and Lexus shouldn't even be on this list. I agree with big dog, the Charger, Impala, and Traverse should be on this list, take the Odyssey off for the Traverse, the Lexus off for the Charger, and the Kia off for the Impala.
BigDogDiesel 5pts Bad list, wheres the new Impala?Wheres the Charger?Wheres the new Traverse?All these vehicles are more stylish than any Subaru, Volkswagen or Honda on the market.
jessi 5pts Who cares about a stupid vacuum in a minivan? I would rather buy the Toyota Sienna Limited and get middle seats that recline like house recliners, where the legs come up. The middle seats also track forward and back to give more legroom to third row occupants. These are much better ideas than a stupid vacuum. The Odyssey is ugly with its lightning bolt design back window and rear sliding door track visible on the exterior.
Goober. 5pts You know whats a real Goob thing to do? Post an article about cars for Mother's Day, and include a picture of a woman vacuuming out a mini-van in the photos.Kudos my young Goobers.
Chapin Smith 5pts What's going to be the prompt for Father's Day? Top 10 sports cars?This is kind of sexist, MT.
ElGatoFuego 5pts In what deluded universe are the honda odyssey and BMW 3 series even REMOTELY good looking?
Gatt 5pts @BigDogDiesel The Enclave is 10X more "sexy" than the Traverse - which is the same vehicle mechanically. You should know better than that. Just because it's a Chevrolet doesn't mean it's automatically "sexy". The Odyssey and Outback are not exactly oozing of sex appeal but I guess in their respective categories you could do worse. Maybe the Grand Caravan RT is "sexier" than the Odyssey but arguably not as well rounded.These are for WOMEN. The Charger is a sexy car for moms? Uh. Sure it is.
Gatt 5pts @Chapin Smith Sexist? Really? It's Mothers Day. Go tell your mom you wrote on a CAR website that you think a woman writing an article about cars for women is SEXIST. She ought to slap you. Wah wah they didn't make one for men. Honestly if this is the worst thing that happens to you all day you live under a rock. Besides, in marriages most women dictate what vehicles are bought anyway. Is that sexist too?
bdean 5pts @ElGatoFuego Add the GS to that list.And while the Outback and Passat aren't offensive in anyway, not exactly "lookers" either.

Noel Arthur David pronunciation (help·info) (born 26 February 1971 in Hyderabad, India) is a former Indian cricketer. He played domestic cricket for Hyderabad and played four One Day Internationals for India in 1997.
David was a bowling all-rounder - a decent off-break bowler and a lower order batsman. He was an excellent fielder.
Sachin Tendulkar is believed to have asked "Noel who?" when he learned that Noel David was the replacement for the injured pace spearhead Javagal Srinath during India's 1997 tour of West Indies. Noel David in a later interview clarified Sachin never said that statement, and it was Ajit Wadekar who did.[1]
Sunil Gavaskar once said that he was the greatest ever fielder for Indian cricket team.

It's been a long, long time coming, but the official Android 4.2 update for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is here. The black sheep of the Nexus family has waited for four months to get updated to the latest release, and while Verizon is currently testing the software for a probable release later this week or month, you don't have to wait that long. Long-time Android tipster WinDroidGuy got his hot hands on the update ZIP package, and eager users can download it right now.
The 4.2.2 JDQ39 package is an update, not a standalone image, so in order to run it you'll need to be using the official Android 4.1.1 build JRO03O (you know, the one that was released to AOSP four updates ago).

Antoine Henri de Bérault-Bercastel
Antoine Henri de Bérault-Bercastel was a French priest and Catholic historian.
Biographical details[edit]
Born 22 November 1720, at Briey, Lorraine in France. Died about 1794 at Noyon. At an early age he entered the Society of Jesus, but left it after his ordination to the priesthood. He was made parish priest of Omerville and later a canon of Noyon.
Histoire de l'église[edit]
His most important work is entitled "Histoire de l'église" (in English: "History of the Church") and was issued at Paris, 1778–90, in twenty-four volumes. The history gives a circumstantial account of the Catholic Church from the time of its founding up to the year 1721. It is not so much intended for students and learned investigators as for educated Christians, and especially for those priests whose professional cares do not allow them time to carry on higher studies. On account of its general usefulness his work has had a large circulation; in spite of many defects, especially in the later volumes, it has often been republished, as at Maastricht (1780–91), at Toulouse (1811). It has also been translated into foreign languages; it was published in Italian at Venice (1793), and in German at Vienna (1784). Various scholars have continued the history or have issued it in a condensed form. Instances are the edition of Guillon (Besançon, and Paris, 1820–21), that of Pelier de la Croix (Ghent, 1829–33), and that of Robiano (Lyon and Paris, 1835 and 1842). The best edition, with a continuation up to 1844, was edited by Henrion (Paris, 1844). The best condensed edition was edited by Gams (Innsbruck, 1854–60).

2001 BMW 3 Series 325Ci Convertible
ProsThe attention, the ride, the quality, the experience. ConsMaintenance
Still Haven't Seen Anything That Makes Me Regret My Decision. — This car is hands down one of the best cars on the road today. It's not the fastest but it sure puts a smile on my face. What alot of people think is the faster the car the better. I wouldn't dare going against a g35 or mustang at a red light but as a overall package the e46 bmw out performs them both. The car is heavy, you dont't feel like you can flip it into a ditch at highspeeds around coners. The stock exaust is just loud enough to give the perfect balance between performance and luxury. Not annoying like a g35 (all the time) or raspy like a v6 mustang. However, I've never had a issue getting on and off the freeway or showing some nosiy honda who the real boss is. The build quality is outstanding.The doors are nice and heavy and it takes some muscle to open and close them. Its not a tin can that will blow away with the wind like a scion tc. I personally think this is one of the best looking cars on the road (non-bais). If you really concentrate on the design it's fairly simple. No dramatic lines or sharp angles, but it has a dominmance that alot of car makers still haven't been able to capture today (ex:) Audi A4, Saab 9-3, Acura TSX, and the pervious Mercedes C-class. The interior like the exterior is also simple. All the buttons are needed and well laid out. When you throw a bunch of buttons and gagets in a car (Acura) all it does is speed up the aging process and lower the vaule at resale time. Less is always more. After a 3 hour drive the standard seats become a pain, but the sport seats are not love handle friendly. The ride is something that will get you into trouble. I highly recommend putting a crack in your window or sunroof. It took me 3 tickets and a defensive driving course to learn. The factory rims and tires provide a smooth and firm ride. If you change them like me. You will become familiar with potholes, the engine and powertain will be your only source of smoothness. Now this is a BMW not a KIA, so trips to shop are not fun. Learn to do little things like change the break pads, change the oil, etc. But if you have a quailty mechanic in your local area it shouldn't bring on such a drought. I highly recomend staying away from the dealer as much as possible because it seems the $120.00 an hour labor rate comes every 15 mins. Out of the 10 years this car was awarded gas mileage was sadly never one of it's attruibutes. The sticker says city 18 but expect around 15 if your heavy footed. Highway you should get about 25 mpg. Bottom line. If you are a real car enthusitst (sp) and appericate a well designed automobile you will not be disappointed. If you want a cool sound and a low zero to 60 time get an infinity.

2001 BMW 3 Series 330i
ProsThe overall feel of quality and solidity ConsDealer maintenance and repair cost.
Buy One If You Can Work On It Yourself — Fantastic brakes, wonderful performance, quiet and smooth on the road at all speeds, good build quality and great looking car. Don't like drive-by-wire throttle. I bought this car with 80,000 miles and have performed some fairly standard preventative maintenance on it but have had no mechanical problems with the car whatsoever. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2001 BMW 3 Series 318i
ProsExcellent build quality, fuel economy (avg 28 MPG), features, smooth powertrain, handling, ergonomics, well-lit controls, God's own stick shift, almost everything is brilliant! ConsThe four-cylinder engine, while it is economical, does trail others in power. It is very smooth and willing, but needs a Dinan performance chip.
Excellent — This has been an excellent car for four years now; it has gotten me through college without trouble and has taken me on many long road trips without so much as a hiccup. Running costs are very low, I don't know how these cars got the reputation for being expensive to own. It is very secure on the road; the excellent suspension and brakes help to avoid accidents. People think you are rich when they see you in this car, which can be good or bad. |
2001 BMW 3 Series 325i
ProsHandling, performance, braking, accleration, gas mileage and maintenance ConsNONE
2001 BMW 3 Series 325xi
ProsCargo space. ConsNot much punch and a bit too much body roll without the sport package.
An Excellent Daily Driver And Weekend Warrior — Not as nice as my 525i wagon but an excellent daily driver. All wheel drive is a must in Vermont and this car does the trick. The ground clearance could be a bit higher but I'd rather have the handling. The 5 speeed is fun and you can hustle the car quite a bit. Not the same without the sport package but still a great car. Gas mileage between 22- 28. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this car to any small family. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2001 BMW 3 Series 330i
ProsFun to drive, good looking, luxurious and sporty at the same time ConsLots of plastic trim pieces that can break
My 330i Review — The worlds best sports sedan. Excellent acceleration, braking, and especially handling. Build quality is very good but obviously there are going to be some plastic and lower quality items to keep price down. Exterior is beautiful and sporty, while interior is relatively luxurious and quiet. Best part of the car is how much fun it is to drive on twisty mountain roads. |
2001 BMW 3 Series 330Ci
ProsFun to drive ConsCostly parts
Great Car — Very quick off the line, handles superb minimal over/under steer tendancies, stops on a dime, minor repairs, expensive however for parts, gorgeous paint and leather quality, avg. 25 mpg, highway up to 33 mpg. The best stick shift i've ever diven, so fun. |
2001 BMW 3 Series 318i
ProsGreat Looks, handling is nice, reliable (make sure you service it regularly) ConsNot powerful enough
2001 BMW 3 Series 330i
ProsHandling! This car is very well balanced and is pure driving enjoyment. Great engine torque throughout the RPM range. Styling. Simplicity of the interior. ConsLack of cup holders & storage space. Can be expensive to maintain at times.
Great Balance Of Driving Enjoyment And Practicality — The BMW 330i is a great car. It's styling still looks great and not too outdated. The 3.0 I6 power is respectable for the size of the car and builds torque quickly. The 5 speed is predictable and gives ample feedback. Overall this is a great car with few drawbacks. |
2001 BMW 3 Series 330i
ProsLuxury ConsExpensive Maintenance
2001 Bmw 3 Series 330xi — Super quiet, supremely comfy, surprising luxuries, and sexy to drive. Styling is essentially timeless; so simple and solid, but very thoughtful. The engine is perfectly matched to the car, silky and on a hair-trigger. Handling, obviously, is absolutely superb. Overall outstanding performance and reliability. |
