Show Takes On Loss, Desire, And Bernie Madoff
OPB | Feb. 1, 2014 9:05 a.m. | Updated: May 10, 2014 11:49 a.m. | Portland
Alicia Jo Rabins was living in New York in 2008, working on her poems and songs right in the heart of the city's financial district. She says she was especially taken by the story of financier Bernard Madoff, who defrauded investors of tens of billions of dollars.
Her new chamber rock opera is A Kaddish for Bernie Madoff. It was developed in conjunction with Boom Arts. The show had its West Coast premier in Feburary, and is in production this weekend at Portland State University.
Using music and spoken word, Rabins explores many of the voices involved in Madoff's world - people who invested with him, investigated him, and picked up the pieces after his multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme was revealed.
We spoke with Alicia Jo Rabins over the winter. She says she wanted to steer clear of addressing why Madoff schemed people. Instead, she thought about what led so many people to believe his lies. And what financial and cultural systems allowed Madoff to do what he did.
"One of the amazing things was that his returns were mathematically impossible," Rabins says. "And yet there was a desire to believe - not only among individual investors, the regulator agencies and the systems of Wall Street that should have seen through what he was doing. And many individuals did."
Rabins drew from interviews she conducted with Madoff investors, and sacred texts from Jewish and Buddhist traditions. While the show has many meditative moments, it also involves upbeat music, sometimes juxtaposed with heartbreaking stories of loss. Musically, Rabins says, she didn't want to cast the show entirely in sombre themes.
"One of the things I was trying to walk the line with was giving voice to the tragedy without getting too sappy about it," Rabins says. "I wanted to respect the spirit of survival I saw among many of Madoff's victims."

But when the NRA dropped by again two weeks ago, propping up president Charlton Heston to tout its "Vote Freedom First" campaign, Owens made sure that his soon-to-be second in command, lieutenant-governor nominee Jane Norton, laid out the welcome mat. And she laid it on thick for hundreds of NRA supporters at the rally.
As director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment -- a position for which she'd been recommended by Trish Nagel, the nursing-home mogul who'd dropped big bucks into Owens's squeaker of a 1998 campaign (she repeated the favor in 2002) and had subsequently served on Owens's transition committee -- Norton had gone gunning for Planned Parenthood of Colorado. And she shot down state funding of rural women's health-care clinics not once, but twice, most recently arguing that the low rent that Planned Parenthood charged those clinics violated a 1984 amendment to the state constitution prohibiting the use of public funds for abortions. (Last April, the state auditor's office took issue with that assessment, noting that the health department had "relied on its own interpretation of the constitution and case law" in prohibiting rural health-care funds from going to clinics that Planned Parenthood had spun off specifically to comply with the law; in the process, Norton had left the state open to "legal challenge." As a nonprofit organization, Planned Parenthood was "capped" in what it could charge as rent, the auditor determined, adding that, arguably, the clinics were "paying the fair-market rental rate.")
Now elevated to Owens's official sidekick, Norton took careful aim at NRA members (and Heston fans) who filled the hotel meeting room, ticking off the ways that Owens's first-term administration had made the state more firearm-friendly.
Thanks to a bill Owens had signed into law, it was now possible to transport guns through the city of Denver. And it was on the governor's agenda "to enact a uniform legal standard for issuance of a right-to-carry permit," she said.
That vow generated applause almost -- almost -- as loud as the cracks about Rosie O'Donnell and Hillary Clinton in the speeches that followed.
But Norton wasn't done. She ended her welcome with this promise: "We're going to work to identify state-owned land that might be suitable for private gun ranges."
Apparently, Colorado's ban on fires on public lands -- announced by Owens this past summer, just after he got burned by his comment that the entire state was burning -- doesn't extend to a ban on firearms. And in fact, Colorado already has one such gun range, which dates to the days of Governor Roy Romer, an ardent (gasp!) Democrat.
A private outfit, one of five concessionaires at Cherry Creek State Park, runs a shooting range in that suburban oasis. "It's been there ten years, and it's pretty successful," says Owens spokesman Dan Hopkins. In fiscal year 2001, the private gun range paid $18,452 to the state. "They also sell parks passes and collected $31,882 from those," Hopkins adds.
Hopkins is unaware of any other entrepreneurs eager to turn state property into shooting galleries. For now. But as more private gun ranges are gobbled up by urban sprawl, he suggests that more people will be looking for alternatives.
And with Colorado under the gun to take another bite out of its $13.8 billion budget, Owens and company will be looking at any possible revenue sources. Next week, the Joint Budget Committee is slated to get the full, grim details from Owens, who'd carefully waited until after the election to share them with lawmakers. The budget was already cut by $220 million this spring; with little discretionary funding remaining, the next round could be lethal.
The possibility of furloughs for state workers has already been raised. And, hey, if any Colorado employee is going to take a holiday, why not the lieutenant governor? Permanently, if possible. After all, the office is largely ceremonial, and cost-conscious politicos have taken aim at abolishing the lieutenant-governor slot many times before -- usually with good reason. George Brown, Dick Lamm's first lieutenant governor, is primarily remembered for his fictitious claims to having been branded by the KKK. A decade later, while serving under Roy Romer, Mike Callihan displayed his political finesse by suggesting that Native Americans (one of the areas in which the lieutenant governor is actually supposed to have some oversight) enjoy Thanksgiving dinner in a Mayflower van parked in front of the State Capitol; he proved his business acumen by leaving public life to invest in Kenny Rogers Roasters.

Is it Amethyst?
Follow-Up Postings:
Nice then you got the good one that has fruit mine looks just like that but wont fruit it a lavender lady .graz on your seeds hope they as preety as the mother plant. |
Here's one of the fruit for proof.... *Grin* |

Are Lavender Lady and Amethyst the same plant? I have a few Lavender Lady's that look just like that but they've never produced any fruit. They are probably one of my best bloomers though and are always covered in flowers, even inside over the winter. Karyn |
No they different in one way one has fruit one wont ever,I have the one without fruit :(.Just my luck hehe |

I have Amethyst. It is in the garden and pops back up all over the place every year. It's more delicate than some of the other passifloras that I have, and it's fruit looks just like yours! |
Amethyst is a very old hybrid that will produce occasional fruit. Lavender Lady is a newer hybrid that is similar in appearance although supposedly derived from different parents and may be (IIRC) a somewhat more vigorous vine (not that Amethyst is any slouch in that department). Lavender Lady is completely sterile and won't produce any fruit at all. That does indeed look like an Amethyst. Very nice. They're also very easy to root cuttings from, in my experience. |
- Posted by karyn1 MD 7 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jan 22, 07 at 13:36
The LL's are so easy to root in plain water, even dirty cold water! I trimmed back a LL that was threatening to overtake my patio and stuck the cuttings in a bucket. When I remembered them a couple weeks later they had all rooted. Karyn |
Well the seeds have been soaking for a few Days... I've sown them this Morn... Just hope they come up.... Would VERY much like to have this one again.... |
Ninecrow, p. Amethyst is a hybrid, so it won't come true from seed--it needs an independent pollinator, so the seeds you have would be an F2 hybrid (second generation). There's no telling what the resulting plants/flowers will look like, but if you can tell what the pollen donor was, then you can guess. For example, if there are p. caerulea in the area, then you might come out with something similar to Myles Irvine's "Star of Bristol" (below link) or "Star of Bristol." In any event, the resulting flowers from your seed ought to be very cool indeed. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Star of Bristol
Yes there are.... But they are the Blue one and Not 'Constance Eliott' So who know's what I'll get.... Fun this is.... LOL |
- Posted by cookiesandcream (My Page) on Sun, Sep 2, 07 at 11:14
Hey all! P.Amethyst will set fruit by the dozens if it has a suitable pollinator (Caerulea, "constance eliott" etc) mine set a ton of fruit this year and almost all were full of seeds! keeping them in the fridge until spring ready for sowing ^^ CAC |

Deus Ex for Xbox 360 sat on my shelf for months.
Finally, I gave it a shot. Loved the game, hated the performance on 360 (had been playing my recently upgraded PC a bit lately)
Gave in and bought it on Steam for $25 (all in USD). This was honestly 2 days ago.
Now it's the weekend deal at 75% off for just $6.24. What a dirty, smelly, phallus of a situation.

CHANDIGARH: In a major exercise to remove encroachments from Harike wildlife sanctuary, about 40 acres of land was freed from land grabbers, permanent structures demolished and an illegal barbed wire fencing removed on Wednesday. The encroachments were located in the sensitive confluence area of the sanctuary where Beas and Satluj rivers meet and play host to thousands of Greylag geese, Eurasian spoonbills, pied avocets and other migratory birds every winter.
Nearly 1,000 acres of the 86 sq km Harike sanctuary, falling in the revenue districts of Ferozepur, Tarn Taran and Kapurthala, have been encroached upon and precious habitat of endangered migratory and resident bird species threatened, sources said. Since only two police personnel were available with the sanctuary's wildlife staff to carry out anti-enroachment drive on Wednesday, 15 more cops were requisitioned from nearby Makhu police station and deployed at the sanctuary's entry point to prevent mobs from opposing the demolition squads, they added.
DFO (wildlife) at Harike, Sanjiv Tiwari, told TOI that encroachers whose structures have been demolished were identified as Baljinder Singh Sandhu and Jaspal Singh of Talwandi Nepala village in Ferozepur district and Surinder Singh of Ferozepur. The total area vacated was 40 acres.
Tiwari said that revenue authorities of the three districts had not made entries in respect of the sanctuary's territory in girdwari and khasra records. Only Ferozepur district has started the process of entering details of the sanctuary's territory into records and even that is not fully complete. I have written many reminders to the revenue authorities. Tarn Taran and Kapurthala districts are yet to start the process of revenue record rectifications,'' Tiwari told TOI.

Honey (Recipe: mango lassi) {vegetarian, gluten-free}
First published in February 2008, this updated pantry ingredient post features new photos and links. Often served for dessert, lassi, an Indian smoothie, makes a perfect breakfast or lunch, and best of all, you can use frozen fruit from the grocery store at any time of year.
Sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
When I saw this squirt jar of Canadian honey in our village grocery store, I knew I had to write a little valentine to my resident Canadian honey bunch.
Then I started to wonder, "Are there really honey bees in Canada? Isn't it too cold?"
Ha! Not only are there bees, but, according to the Canadian Honey Council, the government actually has invested in the long-term sustainability of the honey bee population. Which, of course, makes me wonder why the US government is investing in war, while Canada is investing in bees.
War and bees...
(I know. I can hear the groans.)

In No One Left to Lie To, Christopher Hitchens portrays President Bill Clinton as one of the most ideologically skewed and morally negligent politicians of recent times. In a blistering polemic which shows that Clinton was at once philanderer and philistine, crooked and corrupt, Hitchens challenges perceptions - of liberals and conservatives alike - of this highly divisive figure.
With blistering wit and meticulous documentation, Hitchens masterfully deconstructs… (more)

BINDERY AUTOMATION--Operator Friendly
March 2001Equally impressive advances have been made in cutting operations, the execs report.
"All of the equipment we are operating with today has some form of computerized or electronic controls," Rickard says. "Even our old cutters from the 1950s now have black boxes on them. These retrofitted computers control the backgauge. We just program in the cuts, and setup takes minutes instead of half an hour or up to a couple hours for some complicated jobs. Our cutting accuracy and consistency has improved, too."
There are material-handling benefits to be gained in the cutting area, as well, notes Gary Markovits, president of E&M Bindery in Clifton, NJ. The company's primary services include mechanical binding, perfect binding, folding and tabbing.
Speeding to the Finish
"We installed a Polar cutter with the Transomat system from Heidelberg USA," Markovits explains. "The system automatically palletizes items being cut. It keeps products rotated correctly and automatically rejects bad pieces. Adding this equipment has sped up our cutting operations by 30 to 40 percent."
While Olympic Bindery has yet to make the leap, Walecha is particularly intrigued with the automatic counting features of material handling systems for cutters. The traditional, manual counting method of stabbing tabs into piles is not very accurate, he says, especially with thinner papers. Counts can be off by as much as 5 to 10 percent.
"The paper handling systems have scales and accurately calculate counts based on weight," Walecha points out. "However, since we have nine paper cutters, upgrading would require a big investment." He says he doesn't want to get into a situation where only a couple of the shop's machines have been upgraded and the rest of the operators are left to struggle along the old-fashioned way.
Since job setup information can be stored and recalled for future use, electronics are also having an impact on the level of operator skill that's required. This could help to ease the industry's chronic labor woes in the bindery segment.
"Finding workers is something we struggle with every day," says Japs-Olson's Murphy. "We are trying to automate as much of our operation as we can so the level of skill required doesn't have to be as sophisticated as it used to be. We have some new MBO folders with the Navigator system on order, specifically because they require less skill to set up. The folders are more computerized, so operators just punch in the numbers," Murphy explains.
There's also a potential financial benefit in this lowering of required skill levels, Walecha says. Before computerization, all of the workers in his shop had to be highly skilled in equipment operation and, as a result, commanded top pay. With the addition of automatic setup capabilities, Olympic Bindery is now able to have "a couple top-notched guys on a team with operators who used to be called apprentices," he explains.
"We can have two or three guys just handling the simpler stuff and keep them at a different pay tier. They make about 70 percent of the top operators' pay scale," Walecha says.
Walecha does sound one cautionary note when it comes to automated operations. "With all these built-in safe guards and automatic bad-product rejection, there can be a temptation to fall asleep a little at the switch and not watch the machine as closely. We have to stay on top of our operators about this, especially with the higher speeds we are running at now. It doesn't take long for your spoilage to jump way up."
Murphy reports that Japs-Olson is going full speed ahead with its plans to take automation to the next level. The company is getting very close to company-wide implementation of the Job Definition Format (JDF) standard developed by the CIP4 (International Cooperation for the Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress) initiative, he says. For some time, management has insisted that all equipment purchased be CIP4 ready.
"Jobs should roll from prepress to press and through the bindery based on the original data entry," Murphy explains. "We have always subscribed to the philosophy that job specs should be written down just once. We don't want to have multiple data entry points; it increases the opportunities for errors."
According to its president, Rickard Bindery ascribes to a similar do-it-once philosophy. "We always have been, and probably always will be, limited by the ability of a human being to handle the product. That's why we pursue a different type of automation—it's the concept that you pick up and put down a piece only once.
Remember Ergonomics
"All of the equipment in our plant can plug into any other piece of equipment. Materials are fed in one end, pass through a number of steps and come out the other end as a finished product. To me, automation is the ergonomic design of our workflow and workstations," Rickard says.
From his perspective as a trade binder, Rickard is skeptical about the potential application of CIP4/JDF in his industry segment. The shop does store job information on its server, but he doesn't believe it would be realistic to download that information to set up equipment.
"There are too many questions left to be resolved with every job," Rickard says. "In order to make the product look the way it should, we have to make panels bigger or smaller, and do a little cheating on where the customer intended for us to make the cuts and folds. It would be pretty much impossible for us to say the cut or fold is supposed to be 1˝ from the side guide and 3⁄4˝ from the gripper, so we'll just program that information."
Being able to control all phases of production—prepress, press and bindery—in-house would seem to give companies such as Japs-Olson an advantage in implementing CIP4/JDF-based, automated workflows. However, printers with in-house bindery capabilities can be at a disadvantage in other areas, the trade binder executives say.
Independent binderies generally are in a better position to invest in specialty capabilities, Walecha asserts, because they can pull work from a number of sources to reach the volume levels required to justify it. He notes his company's investment in map handling peripherals as a case in point.
You Have to Pay to Play
E&M Bindery's Markovits says the same dynamic can hold true for capabilities with broader application, if they come at a higher sticker price. As an example, he cites his company's investment in a Muller Martini StarPlus perfect binder with computerized automation.
"A printer may have a certain volume of perfect-bound books to produce, but they can't justify going out and buying a $1 million-plus binder. As a result, they can't produce the same quality or achieve the speed of production we can," Markovits explains.
Such automation capabilities do have a potential downside, though, he admits. "The electronics have become critical because of the intense turnaround times and the speeds at which the work must be produced. However, if the computer goes down, a servomotor burns out or a relay circuit blows, you can't make any manual adjustments. At a time like that, you wish you could grab a wrench and make the adjustment by hand so you can get on with the job."
To help keep downtime to a minimum, Markovits makes it a company policy to stay current with any electronic upgrades offered for the shop's equipment.
While automation may not be the answer to every problem, it clearly has found a home in finishing operations. Who knows, maybe some day operators will even be moving a computer mouse and not bundles.
Facing Diversity
Labor issues, in one form or another, have always seemed to plague bindery operations. In this era of record low unemployment rates and changing population demographics, industry companies are having to cast ever wider nets into the labor pool to fill vacancies. So, here's a quick look at some of the practices these industry executives have implemented to manage their increasingly diverse work forces.
E&M Bindery found a very different labor pool three years ago when it relocated from Long Island City to Clifton, NJ, says Gary Markovits, president. "We encountered a language barrier, especially when it came to the general help positions."
Simply asking equipment manufacturers to provide Spanish-language versions of their product manuals made a world of difference, he recalls. "Any control that is computerized can operate in different languages, so we just translate instructions into our operators' native languages."
E&M also provides some formalized training on its procedures. This is backed up with a quality check list program. Operators have to sign off on a written list of about 12 items for each operation.
Rickard Bindery tries to head off potential problems right at the hiring stage. In addition to doing background checks, the company requires all new hires to have a physical, including drug testing.
Still, President Jack Rickard says, "The quality of people here would surprise most people who have preconceived ideas about binderies. Our people are extremely intelligent, and very capable when it comes to handling computers."
Japs-Olson also does background checks, but hasn't gotten into drug testing—so far. "We have considered it a number of times," says Robert Murphy, chairman and CEO.
According to Murphy, the company's biggest labor issue is the vast number of "temporary" people it is forced to employ. "That expression is one of the funniest in the world," he says. "We've got temporary people who have been here for years. Since we use so many people, we have deals with the temporary agencies that we can hire anyone we want almost at any time. We stopped doing that, though, because often after a month or two they want to quit.
"These people prefer to work with a temp agency, even if they are given the opportunity for a full-time job with all the benefits. I'm told it is basically because they feel that, with a temp agency, they have the option of not coming in if they don't want to. Yet, our experience with temporary employees has been that they show up every bit as regularly as full-time employees," Murphy adds.

War Old and New

It would be too charming to suggest that the Jewish state has now emerged as the protector of Sunni Islam, but there is no denying that the events in Lebanon have furnished a strategic illumination. Many people have observed with delight the varying degrees of solidarity with Israel's war against Hezbollah that have been expressed by Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and even the Arab League, which has now broken its perfect record of being on the wrong side of every crisis in the region. There is nothing pro-Zionist about this solidarity; not at all.

In September, the world watched the ringleader of the July 7 London terrorist attack, his voice inflected with a West Yorkshire accent, preach jihad in English. Al Jazeera aired the communiqu? of 30-year-old Mohammad Sidique Khan, which Khan recorded to explain why he helped murder over 50 of his fellow Britons on a bus and in the Underground. "Until you stop the bombing, gassing, imprisonment, and torture of my people, we will not stop this fight," Khan declared. "We are at war. I am a soldier.
The Politics of Churlishness

If George W. Bush were to discover a cure for cancer, his critics would denounce him for having done it unilaterally, without adequate consultation, with a crude disregard for the sensibilities of others. He pursued his goal obstinately, they would say, without filtering his thoughts through the medical research establishment. And he didn't share his research with competing labs and thus caused resentment among other scientists who didn't have the resources or the bold—perhaps even somewhat reckless-—instincts to pursue the task as he did.

President Bush's inaugural speech was delivered on the day Muslims around the world celebrated Eid Ul Azha, the festival marking the end of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, the Hajj. But, as soon as it was over, the state- run news media of authoritarian U.S. allies in the Middle East were quick to criticize it. Egypt's Al Ahram lamented that Bush made no reference to either Iraq or Palestine, the two most important issues in the region Bush hopes most to democratize.

Hans-Ulrich Klose, a thin, graying, 67-year-old Social Democrat, is deputy chair of the Committee on Foreign Affairs in the Bundestag, Germany's parliament. Known for his pro-American views, he was critical of Chancellor Gerhard Schrder for aligning Germany too closely with France against the United States before the Iraq war. But, seated around a table in the Bundestag on a cold, gray Berlin morning, Klose gives a cryptic answer when asked about the advisability of seeking regime change in Islamic countries.
Enemy's Enemy

KAMPALA, UGANDA--On a steamy Sunday morning, several hundred students are dancing in the aisles of a dilapidated college lecture hall. Dressed in shabby, secondhand sport coats, the men pivot their hips, flinging their elbows back and forth to a lively gospel tune. The women's cornrows bounce up and down. With a showman's sense of timing, Pastor Martin Ssempa sidles slowly onto the stage, grooving to the beat. "Thank you, God!" shouts the bespectacled, 36-year-old evangelist. He has unbuttoned the top button of his natty, cream-colored shirt, and his blue tie hangs loose. "Can you feel it?
Like It's 1999
June 28, 2004
Foreign policy is not theology. The only way to make sensible choices in this realm is to weigh costs and benefits. A policy that might have been wise crumbles if the costs become prohibitive. For example, protecting South Vietnam from a communist invasion from the north was a worthwhile goal. The horrendous costs of doing so, however, made it a bad policy. For those of us who supported the war in Iraq, the question is simple--have the costs risen so high that they outweigh any benefit?
Hard Truth
June 28, 2004
LAST AUGUST, during my first trip to Iraq, I was struck not by hostility toward the United States for toppling Saddam Hussein—I encountered none—but by a burning ambition among Iraqis to build their country anew. Nothing I saw then and nothing I have learned since has changed my conviction that the war was just. We were right to liberate Iraq and end Saddam's threat to the world. Still, we have learned some bitter lessons in the process. Our intelligence failed--we greatly overestimated Iraq's weapons of mass destruction while underestimating Saddam's destruction of Iraq's human capital.

This first appeared as a Comment in the 11 February issue of Flight International
Aviators and regulators have worried for years that increasingly sophisticated cockpit automation systems are degrading pilots' cognitive and manual flying skills. But there has been no action – additional training, for example – for fear of the cost.
This cost factor is the reason why – even if they believed it to be necessary – individual national aviation authorities (NAAs) in a global industry could not afford to impose higher training standards unilaterally on their home airlines, for fear of making them commercially uncompetitive.
After all, the argument runs, despite the fact that pilot failures cause the majority of fatal airline accidents, the accident rate is lower than ever – so maybe doing nothing is good enough.
The only way of confronting this clear need for a changed approach to pilot training is to use hard data to establish that pilot skills are truly – not just anecdotally – being downgraded, and that automation is the proven cause of the phenomenon. The next need was to establish, again using data, precisely which skills were affected and how this lack of competency showed itself in the cockpit. Finally, it was necessary to demonstrate that training would be an effective solution, and precisely what changes in existing training regimes would achieve this.
Fortunately, all that has now been done. Starting five years ago the US Federal Aviation Administration, working with expert committees drawn from industry and academia, has collected and analysed the data and produced its findings and recommendations. Ironically, the FAA is prevented from mandating a new training regime because US airline safety is so good that the cost-benefit analysis does not make the case for change.
But the industry can act voluntarily – and this report spotlights the need for action. Of course, regulators and airlines outside the USA could decide to carry on as if nothing has happened, but the FAA is a role model for authorities worldwide – as is the European Aviation Safety Agency. EASA is watching carefully, and the transatlantic relationship between the two is formal, but fairly close and mutually respectful. The International Civil Aviation Organisation will, in due course, take account of resulting changes in training best practice in its standards and recommended practices.
Cleverly, the FAA has thrown the ball to industry – regulators, airlines and manufacturers have no choice but to run with it.

This Villa offers you your own personal property manager that is on-call to you 24/7 and an emergency contact at Cayman Villas. Cayman Villas can also assist with any concierge information or questions about the island.
Little Cayman is the smallest of the three islands – just one mile by ten and the highest point is only 40 feet in elevation. The undeveloped coastline is full of lagoons, mangrove forests, secluded beaches and salt ponds. With so few visitors until recent times and this lack of human impact has allowed the wildlife, reefs and marine life to flourish. With a resident population of less than 170 people, most of Little Cayman still remains uninhabited. Conversely, Little Cayman's indigenous Rock Iguana population is estimated at 2,000. The iguana has the right of way and signs painted by local artists were erected in 1995 cautioning motorists to watch out for them along the main coastal road.
Little Cayman is one of the region's most important birding areas and the 260-acre Booby Pond Reserve is a RAMSAR site (a wetland of international importance).The The Booby Pond Nature Reserve protects the largest colony of Red-footed Booby birds in the Caribbean – 5000 pairs. Best viewing times are the early morning, as the boobies leave the colony to fish far out at sea, and just before dusk as they are pursued by the waiting frigate birds. Spectacular chases result, as one or two frigate birds harass a booby until it releases part of its fish catch in order to escape.
Little Cayman is the smallest of the three islands that make up the Cayman Islands. This quiet island has fantastic diving sites which are protected Marine parks. You can pop over to the little island called Owen Island with a packed lunch. Cycle around the island or walk the beautiful beaches. This is a perfect romantic place for honeymooners or to just get escape your busy day to day life. Leave your watch at home, you're on island time.

There's a utility that can clear hidden sectors in a HDD and reset the entire drive to factory default, but as far as I know, it's not possible to reallocate hidden sectors to a mounted HDD in the first place, which eliminates any known malware as the cause, however if the problem is what I think it is, not even throwing away the "infected" HDD and replacing it with a new one will solve the problem

Thanks madtownidiot, I'd heard the same about Dell and their BIOS fixations -- I suppose the reason I'd never even taken the time to learn how, though for the most part I'm very comfortable working with a PC's hardware and software infrastructures. And thanks also for taking the time to look up the current Dell version, yes mine is current.
Nothing appears suspicious in BIOS Security, though there may be some customary settings not even shown which I wouldn't know to be missing. Admin Password -- Not set System Password -- Not set Password changes -- Unlocked Execute disable -- On All factory defaults. But an option to actually disable the security -- no, not if I'm understanding you correctly. I do know that these settings are as they've been since the machine was new, and not the least trouble for years. Process rcpnet.exe is not listed on Task Manager nor any of Sysinternals apps, and I'm not (yet at least) finding it in any computer searches, all files set to shown. I must say, I feel at last vindicated by your saying that, at least going by your best suspicions, replacing the HDD would likely not fix the problem. Not that I know terribly much about it, but all of my efforts at fixing the thing had pretty much led me to the same conclusion -- despite having been told by the security experts on those forums that "of course it would, otherwise you're just chasing ghosts". It seems that it's only scans and logs which concern them ... though to be fair they're only looking for malware, when evidently this may turn out to be at least partly hardware-related. One comment though I have on your last post (may be relevant or not), there are more than enough persistent symptoms of malicious activity to pretty well convince me that it's not solely in the hardware, after a few days anyway as the problems inevitably become more pronounced. Not meaning to imply that I've accepted that as a fact, just wanted to run it by you. Anyway, at last I'm getting some good info, from all of you. Thank you. So the old 410 is all reset with a clean Windows 7 install and ready for running the gauntlet of all of your suggestions in the morning. Too early to tell of course whether or not it will begin clearly showing signs of being up to its old tricks, though I can say already that it's not running like a clean install on a zeroed-out HDD. This will be very interesting. |

What would be missing is a computrace setting.. if it's no longer visible, that means the computrace chip has been permanently activated and can't be disabled. It's not malicious, and can be isolated with a good firewall. however, if reflashing the BIOS doesn't clear it and deactivate the module, there is no known way to get rid of it. In dealing with primarily laptops, I've only seen this one other time and it turned out the laptop was stolen... not saying that's the case with your computer by any means, because accidentally activating the security chip while playing with bios settings is a non-reversable mistake...

karlsnooks, thank you for the link, I did give it a shot, but just as madtownidiot has been saying it didn't bring back the missing setting.
Lemur, thanks, that's a great freeware utility! Unfortunately, just as with all of the other HDD utils which I've used except for Killdisk 81h did not show up. Though this appears to be a lost cause, out of curiosity I'd be very interested in a link to where you found such info as "All sorts of information on 81h, and all conflicting." Or if it was through googling, what did you enter as your search query? Merely 81h didn't bring up anything which I'd call illuminating. And thanks Jaxryley, I have used GParted previously to search the disk, no indication of 81h there either. madtownidiot, thank you so much for all of your help. Just to be certain that I've followed you correctly ... > I have the current BIOS, so it cannot be flashed (at least until a new one comes out, if one does -- as I'm sure you know this one is quite old). > No malware is capable of infecting the 81h hidden sector. Could you describe for me the symptoms of having this problem with the machine? Also, as it's not malicious, what the advantage would be of dealing with it via my firewall, and if you think that doing so would help could you point me to a link with instructions for doing this? I'm currently using Webroot as my primary realtime and on-demand scanner, in my experience it detects far more malware than anything else which I've tried and so far none of them have appeared to be false positives. (When every other scan had shown the system as clean, TEMS did repeatedly report finding evidence of high-risk malicious activity in the memory heap which was quite possibly that of my culprit(s), but of course that's not much help in actually finding the malware -- though I am aware that TEMS can in some cases be prone to false positives.) But as Webroot's firewall was less than impressive that's been disabled and I'm using ZA for my firewall instead, which I very much like. It has so far proven to be the most effective of those I've tried, together with my Belkin wired router, at keeping things out. My problem, malware-wise, primarily seems to have been difficulty keeping things in, not calling home and perhaps holding ports open for their cracker parents. This though would be malware which has yet to be detected by any scan (except possibly TEMS), so I'd pretty much assumed it to be a very good rootkit (as Lemur initially suspected) -- one somehow capable even of surviving zeroed HDDs and clean installs. My assumption of its being the same malware always returning is due, first of all, to the fact that malicious activity inevitably shows up again after each clean install during the period which, as I've mentioned, my machine has been quarantined from outside influence, and secondly, the symptoms of malicious activity strongly appear to be identical each time. And madtownidiot, love your signature -- I whole-heartedly agree, with great annoyance. |

Still not absolutely positive you have the problem I think you do, but if you have an activated security chip in your computer.. it will do pretty much as you described.. create a hidden partition in your system for the purpose of downloading and reinstalling Lojack.. even if it has never been installed ..
In addition: In task manager there will usually be a process called rpcnet.exe and in services will be a "persistence module" which can't be stopped or disabled, which serves to reinstall the antitheft software in the case of hdd formatting, or replacement. On further reading, Reflashing the bios would not have even worked. Your computer model# wasn't listed in the computrace website but that really doesn't mean much because Dell sometimes installs whatever parts will fit, including motherboards when the specified component isn't available.. and the xps 410 has an identical motherboard to several other models that were listed There's really no way to get rid of it. What I would recommend Replace Zonealarm with comodo, If you don't have the rpcnet process, look for a persistence module in the services tab. Right click on it, select go to process(es) and locate any files that are highlighted except for servicehost. then set the firewall to block all connections from those processes, and mark them as untrusted. That will at least keep it isolated. There isn't anything more you can do. |

30 Sep 2010 | #19 |
I like Zonealarm but I like Comodo too, so I'll happily make the switch you recommend, on both computers.
Considering the absence of the computrace setting in the BIOS (even if not inherent on the XPS 410), plus other factors which you say seem to fit, yours is definitely the best diagnosis which anyone has yet suggested in all this time. I may also have found something similar to what you read ... On the Computrace site: "BIOS persistence is the most comprehensive option, defeating virtually every action that could remove the Application Agent from a device including if the BIOS is flashed, if the device is reimaged, or if the hard drive is replaced." You'd hardly believe how relevant this sounds. It's been nearly six months that I've been putting so much energy into attempting to clean this PC, time to call it quits! I really love the 410, it's served me extremely well. The new computer is not so good in fit and finish but hopefully that's just cosmetic. In any case, as long as the 410 is not my primary PC, I can live with its problems. I can't believe how difficult and long it's taken to finally get truly sound and very knowledgeable advice and information, so thank you all very much! papilio . |

I found this, which may be a more effective way of dealing with it. The more research I do on this, the more annoyed it makes me that Dell and other computer companies foist this on unsuspecting customers.. some computers models don't have the option to not include lojack in at least a trial form.

Attempting to install Design Suite Ultimate 2013 on a Windows XP Pro 32-bit system and right after entering the s/n and product key and clicking next causes an error 1402. (i'll attach a screen shot)
The key it lists as a problem does not exist. I used regedit to add my user within the permissions of the Autodesk key within Local_Machine and change the owner to Administrators on the Autodesk key and all of its children. What else can I do?
I also tried to install both from the network deployment and locally installing
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by mthomas. See the answer in context.
Thanks for the post... I got it installed with one or all of the following 4-things fixing it...
1) Ran Microsoft Fixit with the option to fix installing programs
2) Did not include SP1.1 with the installer, going to attempt to install it now
3) Installed from local admin account opposed to my admin account on the system
4) Added Everyone with full permissions to KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer
I hope I'm not violating any agreements by posting help I received from Autodesk through our subscription, but here are some quotes from a message I received concerning the dreaded 1402 error (note that some of this applies to Windows 7, not to XP):
... I will be working with you to resolve this case where you are getting the 1402 error with the incomplete registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\\RegistryVers
However, when applying the patch, the Windows Installer service is unable to correctly resolve this path as it should actually be the following:
Since we worked on the original case related to this same issue last summer, I discovered that the Windows Installer service sometimes will incorrectly resolve the path, making it incomplete as in the first path above, when the user permissions launching the install are reverting to the User level instead of the Administrator level of permissions.
To test this, please verify the accounts listed with permissions to the key, by right clicking on the Autodesk key and select Permissions:
Make sure that the Users\<account_name> as well as the Administrators\<account_name> have full permissions to this key. I was able to work with another user who experienced this error and setting the full permissions for the User account on this key as well as the Administrator, resolved the issue and the patch was able to apply successfully.
Also, verify that the User Account Control Settings are set to the minimum level during the install sequences. The following link provides additional information on the behavior of the different accounts when the UAC is in effect:
Unlike earlier versions of Windows, when an administrator logs on to a computer running Windows 7 or Windows Vista, the user's full administrator access token is split into two access tokens: a full administrator access token and a standard user access token. During the logon process, authorization and access control components that identify an administrator are removed, resulting in a standard user access token. The standard user access token is then used to start the desktop, the Explorer.exe process. Because all applications inherit their access control data from the initial launch of the desktop, they all run as a standard user.
After an administrator logs on, the full administrator access token is not invoked until the user attempts to perform an administrative task. When a standard user logs on, only a standard user access token is created. This standard user access token is then used to start the desktop.
I'm including a link to a Forums post from David Lau that also contains additional background on this issue:

Spurs miss out on Champions League
Gareth Bale scored a stunning goal as Tottenham beat Sunderland 1-0 at White Hart Lane, but they missed out on a place in the top four as Arsenal also won on the final day of the season.
Spurs needed to win to stand any chance of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League but it looked like they would be frustrated until Bale rounded off a wonderful individual campaign with another special strike in the 90th minute.
However, Arsenal's victory at Newcastle United ensured that Tottenham would have to settle for a fifth-place finish despite a record points haul in the Premier League.
The margin of Spurs' victory could have been more convincing had they been granted any of several penalty appeals, while Sunderland also defended doggedly and Simon Mignolet pulled off a series of fine saves.
The onus was on Tottenham to take the attack to a Sunderland side whose Premier League survival had been guaranteed by Wigan Athletic's loss to Arsenal, and the first half was dominated by the hosts at White Hart Lane without reward.
It looked like the breakthrough would come in the 21st minute when Gareth Bale was sent tumbling in the area by a push from Sebastian Larsson, but instead of giving a penalty referee Andre Marriner felt that the Welshman had dived and issued a yellow card which sparked a furious reaction from the player and the crowd.
Spurs had another appeal for a spot-kick waved away when Bale's shot from close range crashed into the arm of Jack Colback, while Mignolet made decent saves from Emmanuel Adebayor, Tom Huddlestone and a Bale free-kick.
Sunderland were disciplined in defence but only broke forward sporadically, with Hugo Lloris showing quick reflexes at his near post to repel a close-range flick from Connor Wickham.

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
8 But ye went away from the way, and caused to stumble full many in the law; ye made void the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. (But then ye went away from the way, and have caused a great many to stumble in the Law; ye priests have made void my covenant with the Levites, saith the Lord of hosts.) | 8 But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi," says the LORD Almighty. |

Murphy McLachlan Has Two Last Names
Review by Elise Faulkner
Murphy McLachlan Has Two Last Names had one of the best openings of a show I've seen at the festival. The closer was equally as strong.
Murphy McLachlan Has Two Last Names is a mixed bag of different subjects, from being poor, to eating fast food, to kicking over bins.
McLachlan is a relaxed performer and while his show does have strong jokes and will make you laugh, his subtle delivery often makes the punchlines fly under the radar. At times he gets more animated and these points make for the biggest laughs of the show.
There are two nights left to give the show a go. Its understated delivery might be right up your alley.

Everybody is talking about the flu. Never have I seen so many people trying to open doorknobs with their elbows. "Epidemic spurs rush to hospitals," announced the New York Post under a "Flu York" front-page headline. A financial website offered a list of undervalued stocks in the funeral service industry. The mayor of Boston declared a public health emergency. Google Flu Trends painted a map of the country in deep red and inspired a raft of terrifying predictions. ("Outbreak could be the worst on record.")
It's hard to tell the extent of a flu outbreak because most of the victims just snivel away unhappily in the privacy of their own homes. The Google site solves this problem by tracking the number of times people search for flu-related terms online. Does this make sense to you, people? If we could determine what was going on in the world by the most popular searches, wouldn't the universe be run by mischievous kittens and Kate Middleton?
OK, that is not a sophisticated thought — Google has an algorithm. But I still wonder if the number of recent searches on the subject of flu isn't related to the number of recent news conferences about flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls Google Flu Trends "a useful tool" that may be "subject to the perturbations of media attention."
It's hard for the media, or the elected officials who are currently terrifying their constituents with dire flu warnings, to know where to draw the line between encouraging preparedness and scaring the public out of its wits. The flu is incredibly debilitating, especially this year because it's showing up at the same time as a stomach virus that features diarrhea and projectile vomiting. Truly, you only need to mention "projectile vomiting" once to get our attention. And flu can be dangerous for some people, like the frail elderly.
But we do go through this every winter.
"This is the worst flu season we've seen since 2009," said Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, the guy who declared the public health emergency.
Stop there. While 2009 was a very bad year for flu, worst-in-four-years doesn't sound quite as dire as worst-on-record.
"We have an epidemic of flu every year," said the New York City health commissioner, Thomas Farley. If there are alarming headlines, he added, it's because public officials are "trying to get out the message to get your vaccine." In a phone interview, Farley explained that the city declares an epidemic when more than 5 percent of the people going to emergency rooms are complaining of flu symptoms, which is unusual only in the sense that it doesn't happen in warm weather. He also managed to work "get your vaccine" into virtually every sentence.
Yes! Get a flu shot, like Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, who received one Thursday, along with a lollipop. This was to set a good example. Although honestly, that was sort of late in the game, don't you think? You'd like to believe the governor of one of the most populous states in the nation would have thought about flu protection in November.
The CDC, which measures epidemics in a different way, also agrees we're in one. But officials there don't seem all that worried, beyond the fact that when you're the Centers for Disease Control, you're always worried. "The bottom line: It's flu season," said the director, Thomas Frieden.
Maybe the national uber-angst is because the past two years were really light ones for flu, and we've forgotten what it feels like. Also, it's possible that we're talking about it more because there isn't all that much going on. In other Januaries, we might have been anticipating the actions of the new Congress. This year, we know in advance that there won't be any.
This brings me to my theory about how to calm the flu panic. We can pin everything on John Boehner, the speaker of the House.
Think about it. One of the worst side-effects of illness is the feeling of a lack of control. Your symptoms seem to descend out of nowhere. Picking somebody to hold responsible gives a little more sense of order to the universe.
"Nothing will make you feel better like finding somebody to blame," says a new Facebook app called "Help, My Friend Gave Me the Flu." That app, which is sponsored by a pharmaceutical company, lets you prowl through the social network looking for which of your acquaintances got symptoms before you did.
This sounds like a terrible idea — you don't want to ruin friendships over a transient ailment. Boehner, on the other hand, is somebody you have never met. And the average case of the flu, no matter how unpleasant, is not as bad as two or three more "fiscal cliffs."
Plus, so many people are angry at Boehner already that he would never notice a few million more.
Gail Collins is a columnist for The New York Times.

Chania (Greek: Χανιά) is the second largest city of the island of Crete and the capital of the Chania regional unit. The city of Chania can be divided in two parts: the old town and the modern city which is the larger one. The old town is situated next to the old harbour and is the matrix around which the whole urban area was developed.
Despite being heavily bombed during World War II, Chania's Old Town is considered the most beautiful urban district on Crete, especially the crumbling Venetian harbour. The whole area is generally very picturesque, with many narrow alleys and old charming buildings, some of which have been restored as hotels, restaurants, shops and bars, so this makes it a very lively and colourful place.
