'I'm on a Mac' parody video makes noise

NFL sensation Tim Tebow, who took the country by storm with a 2011 six-game winning streak that brought the Denver Broncos within one win of this weekend's Super Bowl, says that although his much-mimicked on-field praying has sparked controversy, he is merely "putting the Lord first."
The term "Tebowing" – the act of stopping what one's doing to kneel down on one knee and pray — became one of 2011′s hottest and most-copied memes. Once Tebow's popularity truly caught fire after an October win over the Miami Dolphins, photos of people "Tebowing" across the globe – in front of Buckingham Palace, at Egypt's pyramids, and even underwater — sprung up across the Internet.
View a slideshow of people across the world "Tebowing"
"Part of taking a knee is humbling yourself, and it's a form of showing humility where you are putting someone else first," Tebow said in an interview with ESPN. "Putting the Lord first. And that's why I do it. More than anything, more than asking for wins or losses, I'm asking that I have a platform to honor him."
In 2011 Tebow became one of the world's most popular athletes, and gathered his own devout following. He completed 10 of 21 passes when the Broncos took on the Pittsburgh Steelers last month, setting a franchise record for a quarterback's rating in a playoff game, along with an NFL record for yards per completion in a playoff game.
The 24-year-old University of Florida graduate has had his share of critics since his career took off, however, primarily amongst those who are turned off by his flaunting of his religion on the football field. Recently comedian Bill Maher, an outspoken atheist, came under fire for mocking Tebow's loss and insinuating that God was punishing him.
Tebow says he draws strength from his detractors.
"When I get down on a knee and what's become 'Tebowing,' I'm asking the Lord for strength, whether I win or whether I lose. Whether I am the hero or the goat," he says. "I am still going to be the same person.
"I'm sure my faith is part of that, I know I have a lot of supporters because of it … which I'm very thankful for and I'm very thankful for all the support I've received and the people that are praying for me that are backing me. On the other side, you're always going to have critics, I've always had them and I'll always have them. For me, I'll always use that as motivation."
Another motivation is one day making passes on Super Bowl Sunday in the big game. Until then, Tebow is only left only to make predictions — and speaking as a man with experience, he's calling it.
"I think it will be a close game," Tebow told ESPN. "But it's hard to go against Brady, as I found out twice. If I had to choose — Patriots in a close game."

To set up the tale: As of January 1, VH1 and its sister network, MTV, were dropped from numerous cable systems controlled by Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI), the media mega-conglomerate based in Greenwood Village. The announced reasons for this decision varied. In Grand Junction, for example, local TCI officials claimed that MTV, which had been on cable there since its national debut in August 1981, wasn't family-friendly enough. In the case of VH1, however, TCI execs seemed to believe that viewers simply wouldn't notice the quiet disappearance of the channel, which specializes in middle-of-the-road videos (can you say "Hootie"?) and various music-oriented nostalgia programming (like frequent reruns of vintage American Bandstand episodes). So they replaced VH1 with services they hoped would be more profitable--shopping or pay-per-view channels in some locations, competitors such as the Cartoon Network in others.
Viacom, the corporation that owns VH1 and MTV, didn't take this ignominy quietly. It encouraged local protests, such as the one in Grand Junction that resulted in MTV returning to the system there at mid-month, and bought full-page ads in daily newspapers to criticize VH1's disappearance; the copy in these ads was built around the phrase "Missing in Action." But Viacom's biggest publicity coup was to be the press conference, at which VH1-style artists Don Henley, Jewell and John Mellencamp (joined by Tony Rich, included in all likelihood to imply that VH1's programming is more racially balanced than it actually is) would raise their voices against this tremendous injustice.
Cowed by such a show of pop-star force, TCI promptly backed down, pledging to reinstate MTV and VH1 to pre-January 1 status. But rather than cancel the now-purposeless event, Viacom went ahead with it anyway--and reporters from every television station and major publication in the area showed up to cover it. The area outside the theater was dominated by a promotional balloon inflated by representatives of KRFX-FM/103.5, The Fox, which sponsored the conference, while the lobby, where the famous folks were to speak, featured an elaborate dais, a camera platform, over a hundred folding chairs and several banquet tables laden with sandwiches, finger foods and beverages. Security was heavy throughout the Denver Center for the Performing Arts complex, but there was no trouble, thanks to underlings from VH1 and the Dish Network who gave out hats and other consolation collectibles to average Joes and Janes who weren't granted admission to the address.
Predictably, the famous people were more than half an hour late; then, upon their arrival, they were pigeonholed by Fox jocks Rick Lewis and Michael Floorwax, further delaying the proceedings. Henley seemed visibly annoyed by Floorwax's trademark Foster Brooks impression: "You must be a morning guy," he said derisively. For his part, Lewis did his best to quiz Rich even though he seemed to have not a clue who he was. (No wonder: The only way Rich will be heard on the Fox ever again is if he joins Blue Oyster Cult.) A moment later the quartet headed inside, with Henley acting as de facto moderator. He put TCI's change of heart in the most excessive terms possible, asserting that "clearly, the voice of the people matters" and calling TCI's move "a testament to the power of music and the power of democracy." Surprisingly, no one burst out laughing at these claims.
After Henley completed his opening statement, it was obvious that there was nothing left to say, but a few bad-sport journalists decided to dig for a little actual news anyway. After a bit of prodding, both Mellencamp and Henley acknowledged that the entire "controversy" was little more than a power struggle between two big companies. "But that's the way of America," Mellencamp said, apparently under the delusion that he was making a profound revelation. Henley added, "When it comes to music of all types, I think the power is in too few hands." The once and future Eagle was ready with a quip when yours truly asked if trying to save VH1 might seem a little silly by comparison with his campaign to save Walden Woods, a sliver of nature celebrated by author Henry David Thoreau: "It's all civil disobedience to me," he said. But neither he nor his fellow performers would reveal who asked them to attend the press conference, or if anyone paid them to do so. After Mellencamp, who'd been lobbying to end the entire charade since shortly after he'd taken his seat, joked that he'd come at the behest of TCI, a VH1 flack brought the conference to a screeching halt.
The whole thing took about ten minutes--which was about nine-and-a-half minutes more than it deserved. Nonetheless, Denver TV stations spread it all over their evening newscasts, and the Denver Post put a photo of Henley, Mellencamp and Jewell looking impossibly bored on its front page.

text: So...about a week and a half ago I started calorie counting and exercising in the hopes of being 30ish pounds lighter next year sometime. Been doing really well, still am, except for that second weight watchers ice cream bar TWO nights in a row!!! ;) Anyhow, Mrs. Monthly is visiting again and she's not being very nice! She is causing me to gain weight and NOT want to work out. She brings me cramps and messes that I'd just rather NOT deal with. The worst part of it all is the weight gain though. I know it's temporary, but I have to go a week before I normalize again and that is just too long for a scale watcher. For fun, (insert more stress here) add in the fact that I am moving in three days and am NOT ready, have to figure out where I'm going to get the time or money for Christmas and have an upcoming trip home to So. Cal to visit family for a week IN a week! I'll be thankful when things settle down a bit. Until then, my motivation to be a hot-mama forges on! Even if I have to pretend it's true!:dizzy:

Stay/Play/Dine 2014
So, what are the chances of Disney offering the s/p/d deal for the same time next year?! My boyfriend and I had such an amazing time we want to go back same time next year (provided I find a job ..... hmmmm... not going well so far). Do they always do s/p/d in the early months of the year? This is was my first time so I'm not sure if it has been offered before, or what the chances of it coming around again are?!!? I want to go back so bad!
Do you refer to the dining plan? I'm so bad understanding , well we took advantage of the the Disney credit card offer, and was perfect!!!!!!!
You can find information on the discount codes and rates board at the top of this board.
You can also check out mousesavers.com for historical discounts. I actually think this was only the first or second year it was offered, but I could be wrong, because I never look for it. Also, expect discounts to start to be cut back; the word is free dining will only be offered to moderates and deluxes and it will only be the QS plan. |
Pretty sure it was the first time they ever did a deal called Stay Play and Dine where you got a discount if you booked a dining package. So no historical data to go on for that particular deal.
In past few years the deal was full on free dining so technically the latest deal was not as good as past years. I think that's the trend we'll continue to see. A deal that is not quite as good as they've been. I do think there will be some sort of deal available. |
oh i sure hope some kind of deal will be available!! now i'm anxious!
If you find someone who can tell you for sure that there will be any given discount at any particular time for next year, be sure to let us know. And while you're at it, would you please ask him for the lottery numbers on next week's draw?
I always like to say I book the package that I can afford and if a deal comes out that works with my plans, then it is icing on the cake. I wouldn't count on seeing nearly as many discounts as in previous years. |
If your family likes to have a sit down meal everyday, you should check into Free Dining. It really saves my family a ton. Thhose table service meals can get pretty pricey.
i know nobody knows for sure, i just see people all over this board saying "go at this time and you will get _____". |
what is stay play and dine?
Stay play and dine is the disney marketing "label" for the "discounted" dining package that has largely replaced free dining offers.

Tonight's LISTEN Community Dinner was prepared by the Etna Baptist cook team (except John and Becky-who were tending to some family business), using their regular "North End of Boston Spaghetti Sauce recipe" (which legend has it Pastor Ted brought from Andover-Newton Theological School). Garden Salads with assorted dressings, and Applesauce were the appetizers. The main course was superbly cooked spaghetti and meat sauce, Garlic Bread, and a vegetable mix of corn and carrots. Assorted cakes were served for dessert. Beverages included Cranberry Juice Cocktail, Milk from McNamara's Dairy, Coffee brewed with Love in it, and ice water. I made my usual standard inquiry with numerous fellow diners, as to whether "Everything was to their dining satisfaction". No adverse comments or concerns were noted, although the lack of valet parking was noted by a few folks-and I accept responsibility for that tonight, as I didn't arrive until a half-hour after the meal started being served.

What I most enjoyed about Truthout, being on a limited fixed income, was their "disclaimer" saying something to the effect that if you can't afford to donate, don't worry, but please tell your friends about us. Most of the articles I see in Truthout, are not affected by the publications' relationship to advertisers (as when Molly Ivins was writng for the Dallas paper, and she wrote an item critical of an automobile, and the Dallas Auto Dealers pulled all their advertising from that paper, and the Editor took out billboards "Molly Ivins can't say that, can she?").

The MagazineWho'll Get Thrown Off the Island?The greater East Asian co-hostility sphere.Oct 22, 2012, Vol. 18, No. 06
• By ETHAN EPSTEIN
Not much is known about Xi's personal policy preferences, but at a September speech at an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) meeting, he used what the South China Morning Post called a "tougher tone on . . . disputes," saying, "We are firm in safeguarding China's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity." With the Chinese economy indisputably slowing, the new president and his party may find it strategic to inflame anti-Japanese nationalism further in order to deflect internal criticism from China's ever more restive populace. Dean Cheng, a research fellow at the Heritage Foundation's Asian Studies Center, says it is likely that China's current foreign policy assertiveness Dan Blumenthal, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, predicts, "There will be a short period of caution as the new Chinese leadership finds its footing. But then they will need to do something in the East and South China Sea to show that they are not breaking from Hu Jintao's guidance and to consolidate support from the [Chinese military]." Still, there are some who remain stubbornly optimistic that China's new president will forge a fresh, less combative course. Douglas H. Paal of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, for example, said that with the leadership changes, he hopes "there will be some adjustments and improvements, because there have been some rough patches in recent years." Henry Kissinger went further in a panel discussion last week at the Woodrow Wilson Center, saying, "I do not believe that great foreign adventures . . . can be on their agenda." Then again, I happened to be in Beijing during the last leadership transition, when Hu Jintao became president. All the talk at that time had Hu going to lead a great liberalization of Chinese politics, loosening restrictions on the press and possibly even paving the way for democracy. We know how well that worked out. Ethan Epstein is an editorial assistant at The Weekly Standard.

Randomness: Grandmaster, Paddington, Catwomen and Babies
Can you develope ADHD suddenly as an adult? I'm hating it but as with last weekend, I can't concentrate at all, starting multiple blog posts and never actually finishing any of them. Hours go by and I'm staring at the screen still and WHERE DID THE DAY GO. Nothing. I got nothing. Like, I'm watching The Grandmaster last night and as Tony Leung and Zhangi Ziyi stare at each other for minutes on end, immobile in some badass mixed martial arts yoga pose, all I could think was "such powers of concentration!"
I did NOT expect that movie to be all about Zhang Ziyi's vow to avenge her father and refuse Tony Leung's heretofore unrefusable sexual advances. i thought it was going to be a biopic of Ip Man (Leung) but he's kind of an afterthought once Zhang starts tearing up and reflecting from her opium haze. Once the movie goes back to Ip Man, it seems to give up suddenly. Like, "yeah, we know this isn't half as interesting, kthx bye. Closing credits - bam!" Zhang Ziyi won Best Actress at the Golden Horse Awards (as previously discussed) and though I wouldn't go that far, she sure can hold a movie camera.
So herewith some random thoughts on everything from overheard drug store movie chatter to that awful silhouetted lone-man back-turned movie-poster plague we can't stop hating on. If you follow me on twitter, and you should, some of this will be familiar.

GAO noted that: (1) five principles for effective reengineering emerged from the GAO-sponsored symposium; (2) while these principles are not intended to be an all-inclusive list on how to effectively implement reengineering, they form the basis of a framework for bringing about the radical change required to reengineer business processes in a large organization; (3) the principles reflect the panel members' views, which are not necessarily those of GAO; and (4) the five principles are: (a) top management must be supportive of and engaged in reengineering efforts to remove barriers and drive success; (b) an organization's culture must be receptive to reengineering goals and principles; (c) major improvements and savings are realized by focusing on the business from a process rather than a functional perspective; (d) processes should be selected for reengineering based on a clear notion of customer needs, anticipated benefits, and potential for success; and (e) process owners should manage reengineering projects with teams that are cross-functional, maintain a proper scope, focus on customer metrics, and enforce implementation timelines.

Hey GW folks.
We're restoring the old bar area, doing the whole room as themed, and we want something more antiqued/old-fashioned. I thought metal counters would look great. I googled and got a ton of responses. I went to a few pages but they all seemed the same and I think it burned me out. If we go this route, we'll need something quality with a dependable, faster turn around time here. Thoughts? Advice? Recommendations? Thanks. MB |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's true that a metal countertop can take some time for turn around time but, you're installing quite possibly the last counter that you will ever need to install. My recommendation is to take your time and make sure you're choosing the right countertop for both your budget and your taste. An interesting blog with some helpful information you can copy and paste is: www.metalcountertops.blogspot.com |

Ten Assholes You Meet At Every Car Show
If you have the misfortune of encountering one of these assclowns at your local Cars & Coffee, Concours D'Elegance or wherever, do not engage. I repeat, do not engage.
Ten Car Shows That Need To Happen
We don't need any more contrived reality shows about building and selling classic cars. We need these.
What Car TV Show Needs To Happen?
Car shows today are horrifically formulaic. You have the ones where people drive cars and tell you what they're like (hint: they have a hint of understeer at the limit) and you have ones where people tell you how to fix old hunks of junk (hint: buy their licensed car care products). We need some new blood.
Watch A Corvette-Driving Moron Nearly Crash In Stoplight Drag Race Fail
It seems to be a tradition around Thanksgiving that a Corvette driver does something dumb and then we have a new video to watch over and over. Well, have no fear, because it's 2014 and Corvette drivers are still doing dumb things. Here's Exhibit A.
European Classics At A New Jersey Car Show
Years ago, the Ridgewood Car Show would've been packed with muscle cars. Now you can find some absolutely stunning European classics there.
The Ten Biggest Car Shows In The World
With the Woodward Dream Cruise and Pebble Beach this past weekend, we here at Jalopnik have been thinking about car shows. These are ten of the biggest in the world.
The Nissan GT-R Is Definitely The Rarest Vehicle At Any Car Show
Seeing a Nissan GT-R in person is a treat. Seeing at a local car show is, well, not. Not that there's anything wrong with bringing one, it just seems like at this point it's the thing you bring when you can't think of anything else. As noted Lamborghini enthusiast Rob Dahm points out.
This Is What Happens When You Bring A Red Epic To A Car Show
This is what Caffeine and Octane, Atlanta's Cars and Coffee replica looks like when it's shot on a Red EPIC — a camera that starts at $17,500 before you even buy glass for it.
These Are The Glorious Vehicles Car Designers Invite To Their Car Show
As we've mentioned before, ArtCenter in Pasadena is one of the premier schools for teaching auto design in the known universe. So when they decide to have a nice weekend car show, you know it'll be something good. And, boy, was it.
Take A Tour Of The Best Vintage Japanese Cars In The United States
One of the great things about living on the West Coast is how established the Japanese classic car community is. In many parts of the US, there's still people who laugh at the idea of a Japanese classic car show, but out in Long Beach this past weekend it was clear that Japanese 'nostalgic' cars are serious business…
Super Rare Swiss Sedan Crashes Into McLaren 12C
I can't tell you how much a Monteverdi High Speed 375/4 costs, because they're so rare I've never heard of one going to auction. And here's one that just crashed into a McLaren 12C Spider.
What's The Biggest Car Show Fail On Video?
If there's one surefire way to get kicked out of a car show, it's with a burnout. Unsurprisingly, this usually ends poorly for everyone.
Miss Unsafe Brakes 1939 Looks A Little Anorexic There
Come on, Miss Unsafe Brakes, have a sandwich or something! You're in 1939 Chicago, for weeping audibly, have a nice big deep-dish hot dog cheesesteak hoagie or whatever it is they eat there. I swear I can see your sternum behind that sash.
If You Hit A Person In An LA Car Show, Your Car Is Getting Trashed
Here we see a Toyota Camry hit a lady crossing the street in the middle of the Crenshaw Takeover sideshow last Saturday night. It's not long before a crowd of people smash in the Camry's windshield, and things go downhill from there.

The Pros and Cons of Pacifiers
By GalTime .com
By Chaunie Brusie for GalTime.com
When I was a new mom, I nervously avoided introducing a pacifier to my daughter. I was focused and determined on successful breastfeeding and I worried that the introduction of a pacifier would interfere with her ability to nurse.
Her grandmother clucked her tongue at me when I shooed away the pacifier she tried to shove in her mouth.
"Well," she huffed. "My babies always took a pacifier—it's really too bad for you that you won't let her have one."
As it turns out, there is evidence that she may be right and that my worrying was really not necessary.
RELATED Best Skincare Products For Babies
It has long been believed by many that pacifier use may interfere with breastfeeding for newborns, that an artificial 'teat' may turn the baby toward a bottle—and formula. However, A study released by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) found that delaying or prohibiting pacifier use in the hospital for newborns in the first few days of life actually correlated with higher incidences of formula use. What, what?
Lead researcher Laura Kair, MD of the Oregon Health & Science University said, "Our goal with publicizing this data is to stimulate conversation and scientific inquiry about whether there is sufficient evidence to support the universal recommendation of not offering pacifiers to breastfeeding infants in the first few days to weeks of life."
I can tell you that from my own experience as a labor and delivery nurse, for the most part, pacifier use is fine. Some babies simply need that little extra sucking action to calm them down. I have yet to see a baby that couldn't breastfeed simply because of a pacifier. In fact, most of the babies who are really good at breastfeeding also seem to like having a pacifier— something I wish I would have known before I became my children's human pacifier. Sigh. The fact is, the very act of sucking releases the same calming hormones, oxytocin, in the brain that makes baby calm and happy.
As you can tell by now, pacifiers are a ping pong type of topic—even for nurses. And now, we are going to going to serve it back the other way. Although everyone loves a calm and happy baby, the fact that pacifier-using babies are able to self-soothe more easily and can be kept happy by popping in that pluggy, some researchers are concerned that parents inadvertently are interfering with babies' feeding times by literally plugging them up.
Instead of crying and getting fed when they need it, babies may be soothed enough to skip a feeding with the pacifier or want that instant gratification and skimp on nursing.
The biggest argument in support of pacifier use is that they have been proven to reduce the risk of SIDS in infants. The official study on the subject says it is a "consistently reduced risk." As for WHY, research theorizes that the sucking motion and reflex activates the brain enough so the breathing receptors aren't turned off.

A Novel Distributed Detection Scheme Against DDoS Attack
Free registration required
Executive Summary
A novel detection scheme against DDoS attack is proposed from a distributed perspective. The distributed end-hosts in the Internet are organized into a P2P network by Chord protocol for detection. The detection algorithm based on CUSUM and space similarity is deployed at each node in the P2P detection network. The P2P-based detection network is adopted, which makes the scheme be able to scale to the situation with a large number of detection nodes. CUSUM-based detection at the end-host can detect the slight change at the host. Thus it implements the early detection against DDoS attack, and relieves the detection burden at the victim end.

Minding Your MV P's & Q's: Shopping cart etiquette and breaking rules.
Bemused readers ask novelist Nicole Galland for her take on navigating the precarious social landscape that comes with living on the Vineyard. Nicole, who grew up in West Tisbury, is known locally as the co-founder of Shakespeare For The Masses at the Vineyard Playhouse. Her combined knowledge of both this Island and the world's greatest melodramas compels her to help prevent unnecessary tragedy wherever possible. Trying to untangle a messy Island ethics or etiquette question? Send it to firstname.lastname@example.com
Dear Nicole,
I was at the Stop & Shop the other day and someone I've met a few times stopped me to chat. We don't know each other well and I felt like she was checking out the items in my grocery cart in order to size me up. I didn't say anything to her, but I wanted to ask her to keep her eyes out of my cart. Do you think it's okay to ask cart snoopers to mind their own business?
Confidentially yours,
Dear Edgartown:
It depends on the context, but there really aren't a lot of arguments in favor of saying anything. For example:
If you are a wash-ashore and she is an old-timer, she will ignore your request, and then tell all her friends about it at their next potluck, so why bother?
If you are the old-timer and she is the wash-ashore, take pity on her: she's trying to figure out insularly-correct shopping habits. Be flattered that she's using you as a model.
If you have children attending the same school, she is probably trying to reassure herself that you're not sending your kids to school with something objectionable that her own child might end up with, should they swap food at lunch. Expressing any anxiety (such as asking her to stop staring at your cart) will convince her that you have something to hide; welcoming her gaze suggests you are serenely confident that you are a better mother.
If you are of the same socioeconomic status or cultural background, as proven by other signifiers (i.e., you have won the same number of blue ribbons for baking at the Fair; wear the same brand of yoga pants; sport the same amount of mud on your vehicles), then yes, she is sizing you up. But telling her not to look is not the Island way. Instead, make sure you always have lots and lots of one type of produce (salad greens, kale, etc.) in your grocery cart, whether you are planning to buy any of it or not. This creates the impression that you are preparing a potluck dish. Seeing evidence of a potluck she has not been invited to, she will become so distracted trying to figure out who has excluded her that she will forget all about sizing you up.
That's my take.
Dear Nicole,
Are the rules just different here?
Confidentially yours,
West Tisbury
Dear West Tisbury:
Not the rules themselves. Just the ways we break them.
That's my take.
You know, here in Las Vegas, I talk a lot about "The Island." I even write stories about it. So, I am exceedingly glad, that as a wash-ashore, I now know how to shop for groceries when there. I will file this information away for the next trip, along with my Martha's Vineyard Tunnle pass!
Great stuff! Only laughing because you hit it on the nose! Soooo true!
Third possibility — she's bored and looking for something interesting to brighten up her day, and hoping to find it in your cart? It's up to you to make sure she does.
'nuff said.
My rule when checking out the cart of another shopper: make a positive comment about one or a group of items in their cart. Example: "Ooo, someone is making lasagna. Yummy."

And so the king and Haman went to the feast, which the queen had prepared for them.) | 5 "Bring Haman at once," the king said, "so that we may do what Esther asks." So the king and Haman went to the banquet Esther had prepared. |

HCS Introductory Meeting 9/17!
Submitted by jkroll on Wed, 09/17/2008 - 13:16Come join us for our introductory meeting on Wednesday 9/17 from 8-10PM in SOCH 307! We'll talk about what we're planning to do this year, showcase new upgrades to our office, and socialize over pizza and discussions about technology!
Join HCS!
Submitted by jkroll on Tue, 09/09/2008 - 21:07HCS is the best thing since RFC 1035. Really.
For starters, we have pizza at every meeting. But more seriously, we run a ton of cool projects and services that help the Harvard community. Joined a mailing list at Harvard? That was us. Now, we're deploying over $20,000 of brand-new hardware and we're just itching to do all sorts of new things with it.
Welcome to HCS!
Submitted by jkroll on Sat, 04/26/2008 - 15:23The Harvard Computer Society has been a "driving force" in the development and deployment of computers at Harvard since well before the fall of the Soviet Union (or the very least, we've met weekly to talk about computers and technology and eat pizza since at least 1983). We do whatever we're interested in (and, by proxy, whatever you're interested in, if you join us) but we have a number of ongoing and currently active projects that tend to consume our time.
A discussion with Scott Bradner
Submitted by jkroll on Fri, 04/25/2008 - 19:06HCS is proud to be hosting Scott Bradner, the University Technology Security Officer at Harvard. He'll be talking to us about security and privacy at Harvard and beyond, about his work with ARIN, IETF, and the Internet Society, and about the early days of building the Internet. Hopefully, he'll share some stories from the early days of HCS, too - he was one of our early advisors. If you want to know about how the internet is governed, how new technologies are being integrated at Harvard, or just want to hear about the state of security at Harvard, join us!
Harvard NOC Tour!
Submitted by jkroll on Fri, 04/04/2008 - 10:52We'll be visiting the Network Operations Center (NOC) at UIS's 60 Oxford St. facility, courtesy of Harvard's Network Manager Jay Tumas. Harvard's network is huge and serves a large number of people. Plus, Harvard is very closely involved with several big external projects, such as Internet2 and even the IETF. Plus, how can you turn down the opportunity to see a cold-war style operations center with screens on the wall, flashing maps, alarms when things go wrong. . .

Video: How Neil deGrasse Tyson Found Superman's Home Planet
- Wednesday November 7, 2012
In Action Comics No. 14, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson helps Superman find his home planet — he located it in the real universe too. Here's how.
In Action Comics No. 14, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson helps Superman find his home planet — he located it in the real universe too. Here's how.
Don't make Superman angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry. Or when he kills. That comics aphorism usually describes Hulk, last seen stealing the spotlight in Joss Whedon's The Avengers blockbuster. But its the crucial takeaway from new animated feature Superman Vs. The Elite. See an exclusive clip from the movie.
Superman's origin story gets retold like never before in Action Comics No. 5, previewed exclusively on Wired.com. As the cover says: "It begins … again!" Written by Grant Morrison with art by Andy Kubert and Jesse Delperdang, the tale starts with the familiar cataclysm on Krypton and reveals "keys facts about Superman's past" for the […]
This year was filled with weird and wonderful movies, music, TV shows and books. Here are our favorites.
Wired.com's verdict on DC Comics' massive effort to upgrade its titles is in. From Action Comics to Catwoman, we round up the best and the worst of the retooled series.
Comics great Grant Morrison thinks the Man of Steel can teach American politicians a thing or two about successful governance and leadership.
Move over, monotheism as we knew it. Led by the indestructible Superman, superheroes have irrevocably metamorphosed into the spiritual paragons of our multimedia existence.
Superman renounces his U.S. citizenship in Action Comics' record-breaking 900th issue. But that's not all the benevolent alien refugee does in the sprawling special issue, which hits stores Wednesday. The Man of Steel throws down in outer space against a continually misguided Lex Luthor, who's finally rewarded for his boundless ambition by becoming a petulant […]

It had ...according to the owner some die back and had been to me pretty heavely pruned at the top... it is old work as the top shows dead stubs there is some and i use the term loosley some new branching growth. It is about 4 ft. Tall and the trunk is 3 to 4 in. Around ... is there anything i can do to promote LIMB growth and will it ever gain any height... any input would be greatly appreciated |

What Mad Men Can Teach You About Men
By David Wygant
Figure out his love language, of how he wants to be touched, held, honored as a man. Once you've got that, you'll have him happy forever and ever.
Men are a very simple creature—that's why we're always depicted as cave men.
That's why we watch simple things like sports.
And that's why the majority of men, when they communicate with each other, communicated like cave men.
It always involves a bunch of buffalo wings, some beers, and short conversations based on simplicity things.
We are wired very differently. Understand our wiring and you'll understand exactly how to keep us happy.

"KFC cole slaw right on the mark! DELICIOUS!!! I made this as a side dish to go to with crab legs and twice baked potatoes and this was the only dish with no leftovers. I added some celery seeds for flavor and a little lemon juice. This is best made the day before so all of the flavors blend together."
"This recipe is AWESOME. I make it every New Years day. I always make the cinnamon syrup the day before. If the Panettone is too fresh then it can get mushy and fall apart. Its a good idea to slice it the day before and let the slices dry a bit, then put them in a plastic container and use them the following morning. Its also good to slice the roun..."

nothing spectacular but still nice/large
By Beauty
from BC
Purchased this one in Blush and it is definitely "blush" a nice light powder pink. It is also LARGE which I like in a handbag ...most times. I most definately would not have paid the full price of $300 for this bag being that there isn't anything elaborate about it and it is quite plain and simple really. Glad I purchased it at a "sale" price (if there is such a thing...?) of $127 and even then, the company is not losing money on the handbag! Remember it is still made in China!

Love this Bag so Much; Sassy and Chic
By BRJ
from Ontario
I was able to purchase this bag in the Stone Multi (I believe it's the one that the previous reviewer purchased) - I Love Love Love This Bag!The Stone Colour is very well named; it's like a beigie-stone. It's a very neutral colour that would go with almost anything.Then the Chocolate colour that is at the top - goes very ell with the Stone colour - Love that Chocolate colour.Then, the White Leather that wraps around the top of the bag leads you inside the bag, which has White leather around the top of the inside of the bag.The beige/tan handles go well; I would have preferred the chocolate colour in the handle, but that's being picky - the Tan handles look great, and the tan is brought into the bottom corner of the bag as well.I think the colour combinations were very well thought out - great combination!The design of the bag is fabulous!Love the slip pocket on the back.Love the two zip pockets on the front - great design details!This bag is a winner - in style and function; it stands on its own, and holds a lot (more than it looks). This bag is well named - the size and function of this bag lends itself to a day of shopping (esp at an outdoor market).If I could, I'd purchase the White Multi as well.Yes, I Love this Bag - it's Sassy and it's Chic!
Not what I expected
By Munchkin
from Richmond BC
Received this today and was so excited but when I opened it--the color was entirely different than appeared online. Appears black trim but its a brown and the body was a beige which I didnt find attracted. First time ordering this brand and thought that it would be better quality leather but not so impressed as thought I would be. Too bad I have to send back as cant like the body color. Too bad.

Woodland Park Zoo joins Wildlife Conservation Society in an international effort to end the illegal ivory trade that is fueling the elephant conservation crisis.
Will you join the herd?
November 19, 2014
Woodland Park Zoo announced today that it will phase out its on-site elephant program and continue to move forward with its mission of saving animals and their habitats through conservation leadership.
"We remain committed to putting the welfare of our elephants first. After several months of working to implement the recommendations of the Elephant Task Force, we have found that adding to the herd of our two aging elephants is not realistic in the foreseeable future. It is in the best interest of Bamboo and Chai to live in a social, multi-animal herd in a healthy environment," said Woodland Park Zoo's President and CEO Dr. Deborah Jensen. "This can best be accomplished by relocating them to another accredited Association of Zoos & Aquariums facility that is held to exemplary standards of care. Having only one or two elephants at the zoo for the long term would work against the broader social welfare of Chai and Bamboo and we are committed to following the recommendations of elephant health and welfare experts."
The Elephant Task Force - a panel of local community representatives and internationally-distinguished scientists and animal care professionals - conducted a critical and thorough external review of the zoo's elephant program in 2013.
The zoo will begin finding a new home for its two elephants, 47-year-old Bamboo and 35-year-old Chai, both female Asian elephants.
"We will ensure Bamboo and Chai will be relocated together to an Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) facility that shares our commitment to animal health and welfare and conservation through education, and provides viewing access to the animals. We have not identified a new home at this time but we expect to move them in 2015. They will be a part of our family for the rest of their lives and we will continue to follow their welfare at their new home," added Jensen.
"It is a difficult decision to move these animals who have long played an important role as ambassadors for their species in the wild, but we could not have made it without the thoughtful and exhaustive work of the Elephant Task Force, the zoo's Board of Directors and our staff. We will continue working with our elephant conservation partners in Borneo and Tanzania and the 96 Elephants campaign to help end the ivory trade," said Jensen.
Approximately 139 Asian elephants currently live in AZA institutions. According to Woodland Park Zoo's Chief Operations Officer Bruce Bohmke, North American elephant population management experts predicted a population decline based on a decade's worth of research. Bohmke, who serves on the Steering Committee of the North American AZA Elephant Taxon Advisory Group and Species Survival Plan (TAG/SSP), said the decline is attributed to a number of factors including an aging population and limited reproduction. "In addition, because other zoos are expanding or building new exhibits, there are very few individual elephants to acquire. We recognize that the process of expanding existing herds is going to happen slowly, and that it may be a few decades before a sustainable population can be achieved," said Bohmke.
Each year, the zoo reviews its animal programs, which include physical and behavioral health and care, and makes decisions to continue, phase out or introduce new animals based on an extensive set of criteria, explained Bohmke. In 2012, the zoo phased out its African wild dog and Malayan sun bear exhibits.
In May 2015, Malayan tigers will be introduced to a new, dynamic exhibit for tigers and sloth bears. The state-of-the-art complex will empower and inspire visitors with up-close animal encounters, hands-on learning, and links to meaningful conservation actions visitors can take to build a better future for wildlife.

I found Hanae Mori for a steal on EBay, and its fragrance notes caught my attention. At first sniff, something instantly took me back to adolescence. It has gnawed at me every time I smell this fragrance! Then just now it hit me! I know some people will flip when they read this, but this so reminds me of Vanilla Fields! I used to wear it when I was in eighth grade! All I need to do now is find a bottle of the Coty fragrance to sniff so I can confirm this. Yes, definitely a strong resemblance there... at least to me. I wish I knew if I liked this or not. Every time I try to get rid of it, something keeps me from doing so. I'll put it on, and on the whole it's nice, but when I spray it, there's a synthetic something about it that I can't seem to get past. It does get better the longer I wear it, though. From the reviews here, people seem to prefer the EDT, so perhaps I should try that. Anyway, I'm glad I finally figured out what this reminds me of. Maybe I keep it around for sentamental reasons.

I love this scent. It is so beautiful. It's sweet and warm and unique. Unlike any other vanilla noted perfume I have smelled. It's like vanilla for grown-ups. It will stay in my fragrance collection.

This is the first time I smelled a fragrance that I had to have - I just never smell any that I absolutely love. I walked up the the SA and when she asked me what I wanted I said 'not floral' so she handed this over and I bought it within 2 minutes. Initial scent is vanilla mixed with raspberry and blackberry. The dry down is more caramel vanilla, less berry on me. I think this will be my go-to scent for a very long time.

I adore gourmand and soft floral scents; Hanae Mori Butterfly encompasses both of my loves. What prevents this from being a teenage girly fragrance is the fact that its not overly sweet and is complex. Unfortunately, this doesnt work well with my body chemistry. Instead of the wonderful sweet notes, this dries down into a stale, musky scent after a few hours. It smells fine if I spray it in my hair or on my clothes, as long as the perfume doesnt come in contact with my skin. One spray goes a long way, it usually lasts over 9 hours but even after 13 hours I could detect a slight lingering scent.

This is a very classy,yet sweet fragrance.This is probably my favorite.It has Notes of sandalwood, bilberries, ylang ylang, currant and jasmine.Smells like sweet vanilla,with almond,but not over the top.It is pricey,so if I did get it again,it would be on ebay.This is perfect for everyday use.Im not a big fan of floral scents,but you cant really detect that in this perfume.This ranks on my top 5 list.I cant wait to get the butterly one!

Strawberries and almonds and maybe some baked cookies as well. I think the EDP would be too over the top for me, so I'm happy with the EDT. This is a feminine and playful scent.

I love the EDP. The EDT smells off to me and the Parfum is too strong. I wear this every day and don't bother to test other fragrances at all. I love that this scent is a bit sweet and it just smells "warm" to me without being at all masculine. I get complimented on this frgrance all the time. Men and women walk up to me and tell me how great I smell. I just don't smell like "Me" without it. It is a strong scent, so I spray very lightly and walk into it.

Not too strong, not too vulgar...not too sweet, just right. That's how I describe this fragrance. It's out of the ordinary because it's not one of those over advertised fragrances so most women don't have this one. I have two sample vials of this stuff and Im just starting to use them, not sure if this would be one of my favorites but it's nice.

My all time favorite fragrance of all time hands down. Men love this. Women (at least the ones I know) never know what it is hahaha which is what I like. I always look for a fairly unique fragrance that is sexy and this is it. Not too many women have this one. It is quite pricey but worth repurchasing because it is top notch quality and makes me smell irresistable!

We want glossy white appliances -- a 30 inch convection oven and a 36 inch CD FD refrigerator. Surely there must be something less $$ than the Miele masterchef that is still a quality product! And does anyone have experience with the white e-lux fridge - what is the finish like?? Many thanks. |

Under a new state law passed by the Georgia State Legislature in 2007, parents of students who receive special education may choose to transfer their child to another public school or private school in Georgia. While you are not required to exercise the options outlined below, I did want you to be aware of the choices. I would like to stress that the Baldwin County School system will continue to do an excellent job in educating exceptional needs students and we will continue to serve the needs of students with disabilities at all schools in the system.
Public School Choice Options
A parent can request a transfer to another public school within their school system as long as there is available space at that school and the school has a program with the services agreed to in the student´s existing individualized education program. If the parent chooses this option, then the parent shall be responsible for transportation to the school.
The parent may request a transfer to a school in another school system if there is available space and the system and school has a program with the services agreed to in the student´s existing individualized education program. A school system must agree to accept the student however. If the parent chooses this option and the school system accepts the child, then the parent shall be responsible for transportation to a school in that system.
The parent may also request a transfer to one of the state schools for the deaf and/or blind operated by the State Board of Education. Acceptance into a state school will depend if that setting is appropriate for the student´s needs. If the parent chooses this option, then the parent shall be responsible for transportation to the state school. Please contact the Georgia Department of Education for more information about transferring to a State School.
Private School Choice Option
If you are interested in transferring your child to a private school in Georgia, you may be able to take advantage of a Georgia Special Needs Scholarship. These scholarships provide funding that can be used to offset tuition costs at participating private schools in the state of Georgia. For more information on the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship and the parent application process, please visit the Georgia Department of Education's website at http://public.doe.k12.ga.us/.

Everyone is different, different methods work for different people the following are only suggestions on improving upon your current studying techniques.
It is best to review the material right after class when it's still fresh in your memory.
Don't try to do all your studying the night before the test, instead space out your studying, review class materials at least several times a week, focusing on one topic at a time.
Have all of your study material in front of you: lecture notes, course textbooks, study guides and any other relevant material.
Find a comfortable and quiet place to study with good lighting and little distractions (try avoiding your own bed; it is very tempting to just lie down and take a nap).
Start out by studying the most important information.
Learn the general concepts first; don't worry about learning the details until you have learned the main ideas.
Take notes and write down a summary of the important ideas as you read through your study material.
Take short breaks frequently, you memory retains the information that you study at the beginning and the end better than what you study in the middle.
Space out your studying, you'll learn more by studying a little every day instead of waiting to cram at the last minute. By studying everyday, the material will stay in your long-term memory but if you try to study at the last moment, the material will only reside in your short-term memory that you'll easily forget.
Make sure that you understand the material well, don't just read through the material and try to memorize everything.
If you choose to study in a group, only study with others who are serious about the test.
Test yourself or have someone test you on the material to find out what your weak and strong areas are. You can use the review questions at the end of each chapter or practice tests the teacher may give out as well as other materials.
Listening to relaxing music such as classical or jazz on a low volume can relieve some of the boredom of studying.
Don't study later than the time you usually go to sleep, you may fall asleep or be tempted to go to sleep, instead try studying in the afternoon or early evening. If you are a morning person try studying in the morning.
