High Times Again in Singapore?
Singapore, once revered for its seemingly insurmountable edge in the ship repair and conversion business, has fallen on harder times in recent years. The forces which have slowed the area's break-neck pace of expansion and dominance are not at all unfamiliar to shipbuilders and repairers in the U.S. and Europe: rising land and labor costs, corporate consolidations and a seemingly endless stream of cut-rate competitors.

Problem with the folder content of Inetpub, some gigabyte !!!
Hello everyone
I install the last product of Symantec (Endpoint Protection) since for some months and i've got a problem. My folder "Content" of C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Protection manager\Inetpub occupes several gigabytes on my server. I know that i can delete manually the folders but i think it's not the real solution.
Thanks for you help.
Good Afternoon

Please upgrade to MR-2 if not already done. This issue has been fixed in MR-2.
Otherwise, you can refer to the following -
Abhishek Pradhan, PMP, MCT
Blog: http://blog.abhishekpradhan.net | SIG Lead - Pune IT Pro (Microsoft Pune User Group) | http://www.puneusergroup.org
Our server is already MR2, and we only found this problem after upgrading it to MR2
We've deleted all the "digit named folders", but now the clients stopped receiving the definitons updates. I've executed Rx4Defs on the SEPM server, but even it's client (SEP 11 MR2) stopped on November 07 definitions :smileyindifferent:
I've got a question w.r.t. to this issue - had anyone amongst you implemented the semi-fix we used to implement before MR-2 came out? In case you did not do that, you may try to implement the semi-fix to try and resolve this issue.
I'm giving it FYI here -
To adjust the number of content updates stored by Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager
Open the \Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\tomcat\etc\conf.properties file.
Add the following setting to the file, (the example uses a value of 5, adjust the value as necessary, the default value is 10 if no entry is present)
Close the conf.properties file and click Yes to save your changes.
Click Start > Run.
Type services.msc and click OK.
Right-click on Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager, and click Restart.
Close Services.
Within a short period of time the numbered content folders should adjusted to the value that you selected, the example below is based on a value of 5:
\Program Files\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\content\{C60DC234-65F9-4674-94AE-62158EFCA433}\
Add the line scm.lucontentcleanup.threshold=x (preferably between 1 to 5, since 10 is the default value) to the end of the conf.properties file.
Stop the SEPM service.
Navigate to the content folder, and then from each of the folders present under the CONTENT folder, go in and delete ALL the sub-folders with names in DIGITS.
Hope this helps. In case it doesn't, please post here so we can try to find a solution to this.
Then RESTART the Server which has the SEPM installed, and then start the SEPM service again

Thank you for the attention Abhishek... I do tried these steps, with a guy from Symantec tech support on the phone (who actually send them for me). It did fixed the Content folder growing issue, but it lead me to the other problem, which is the non-updating clients.
The Symantec support staff talked to me on the phone for about a week, and they couldn't fix this new problem. Now they want me, for the 3rd time, to rebuild the whole SEPM server :smileysad:
Hi Eduardo,
Why dont you PM em the case number that you have open, and we'll get something worked out.
Abhishek Pradhan, PMP, MCT
Blog: http://blog.abhishekpradhan.net | SIG Lead - Pune IT Pro (Microsoft Pune User Group) | http://www.puneusergroup.org
I did implement the scm.lucontentcleanup.threshold=1 fix before I applied MR2 and it seem to work but after installing MR2 it started doing it again so maybe I need to apply it again. But I am still having the problem were my client's wont update unless I do it manually. I am to the point where I am going to write a script just to launch LiveUpdate on each machine via the Scheduled task but I should not have to apply workarounds for things that the software should be doing in the first place.
Hi Raider,
In case you are unable to do the LiveUpdate automatically, chances are that the Folder Structure has been corrupted since wrong folders were deleted.
In this case, I'd recommend taking a backup of the DB, the keystore.jks and server.xml files as outlined below, and then uninstalling the SEPM and then doing a fresh install of the SEPM to resolve the issue.
Copy the "Server Private Key Backup folder" from:
\\ProgramFiles\Symantec\ Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Server Private Key Backup
Paste it to another storage area (as it will be deleted during Symantec Endpoint protection Manager uninstall)
Copy the "Data folder" from:
\\ProgramFiles\Symantec\ Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Data
Paste it to another storage area.
Copy the "sem5.db" database file from:
\\ProgramFiles\Symantec\ Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\db
Paste it to another storage area.
Make a note of the "Encryption Password" used during the install.
Ensure that the server has the same IP Address and Host Name the Operating System has been Installed.
Install the "Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager" with the "Embedded Database."
Enter the "Encryption Password" that was used on the old "Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager" installation.
Log in to the Console
Click Admin.
Select Tasks> Servers.
Under "View Servers", expand Local Site.
Click the <computer name> that identifies the local site.
Select Tasks.
Click Manage Server Certificate.
In the "Welcome panel", click Next.
In the "Manage Server Certificate panel", select Update the Server Certificate
Click Next.
Under "Select the type of certificate to import", select JKS keystore.
Click Next.
Note: If one of the other certificate types has been implemented, select that type.
In the "JKS Keystore panel", click Browse.
Locate and select the backed up "keystore_<timestamp>.jks" keystore file.
Click OK
Open the "server_<timestamp>.xml" file
Select and copy the "keystore password."
Activate the "JKS Keystore" dialog box.
Paste the "keystore password" into the "Keystore" and "Key boxes."
Note: The only supported paste mechanism is Ctrl + V.
Click Next
Note: If you get an error message that says you have an invalid keystore file, you probably entered invalid passwords. Retry the password copy and paste. (This error message is misleading.)
In the "Complete panel", click Finish.
Stop the services for the "Symantec Embedded database" and the "Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager"
Go to:
\Program Files\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\
on the new "Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager" and remove the "Data folder."
Move the "old Data folder" under:
\Program Files\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Data
from the old "Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager" install directory to the new "Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager" install directory.
Create a new folder named "db1" in:
\Program Files\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\
Move the "sem5.db" from the old "Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager" install directory.
Click Start>Run.
Type regedit
Navigate to:
Open the value name Parameters and the original database:
\Program Files\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\db\sem5.db
Change it to:
\Program Files\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\db1\sem5.db
Move the "sem5.db" database:
\Program Files\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\db
from the old "Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager" install directory to the new "Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager" install directory.
Go to Administrative Tools> Data Sources ODBC
Ensure the database connectivity after the changing the database file location to:
\Program Files\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\db1\sem5.db
Run the "Migration Server Configuration Wizard."
Click Yes to replace the database after entering the password
Login to the "Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager" using the old password.
Ensure that the Domain ID is same as it was on the old clients.
If it not, follow the direction in the below document to restore the Domain ID. This will enable client communication http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2007082112135948
All of the clients should begin reporting back within approximately 30 minutes.

Yeah, I knew that my server is lost, and that I have to rebuild it.
But it was not our fault, we DID follow Symantec documented steps.
For the love of God, it's the third time I lost my server. Two times because of the embedded database corruption, and now because of the growing Content folder and a solution that only make things worse. All the times I spent a lot of time on the phone talking to the very Symantec support staff, and they couldn't help me.
When will this torture end?
Why could Symantec Client Security be left alone and work perfectly, while SEP always behave like a baby, whom I have to monitor all the time to see if something did poop again?
Message Edited by Eduardo Nazato on 05-09-2008 09:51 AM
It has been 24 hours sence the reinstall, new def have been downloaded to the management server, but the clients have still not updated. The only client that updates automaticlly is the client on the server. I have tried a reinstall on a client but it too is still not getting the updates from the management server. Anymore sugestions?
Someone suggested that my database is corrupt and I need to do a fresh install without restoring the database. So I am going to backup my db, server key, and data folder. Then rebuild my entire SEPM, I will post if this fixes the problem. Funny thing is as many hours I spent working on this the company I work for could have just bought new anti-virus solution for less.
P.S. We wont be renewing our Symantec license
Message Edited by Raider1 on 05-14-2008 08:08 AM
I just got done rebuilding my SEPM from the ground up. The clients are now getting the updates and are connecting back to the SEPM. Unfortuinly I am only back to square one and my content folder is going to grow once again...
@ doctortt
No you dont have to drop the sylink.XML on every client. You just create a domain in the SEPM and change its ID to the ID your clients are trying to connect to. As explained in the "Best Practices for Disaster Recovery with Symantec Endpoint Protection"
This is what i did
Backup my DB (just in case but didnt use)
Saved Data folder (just in case but didnt use)
Saved the Key Store File
Looked up the domain ID and saved it to a txt file
Exported all my policies
Uninstalled SEPM, SEP (on server only), and Live update also deleted the Symantec folder (just in case)
Installed SEPM
Imported policies
Restored Key Store File
Created a group with the same name the clients were in (not needed just saved time moving clients)
Created a new Domain
changed the domain ID
Clients reconnected and grabbed latest updates...
Now i look forward to the content folder growing like a wild flower :)
My problem is finally over!
After a lot of talk directly with Symantec managers, it was decided that an Engineer would come here to help us building a new SEPM MR2 server. Probably the old server (which was originally installed using SEPM 11.0.780 and then migrated to MR1 and MR2) is corrupted, and then a lot of problems raised.
It's been a week since the migration, and almost all clients are already communicating with the new server. Even the problem where clients communicate with wrong groups (here) seems to be resolved now.
I hope this new server will finally work well :smileyhappy:
Thanks for any help, or at least for any try to help.

we had an unusual minus 9 degree night this winter (zone 7/5200 ft.) & the lavender & rosemary look like they died back. Can I prune back the lavender & rosemary (upright & prostrate varieties)?
Some 50 yr. old roses survived just fine but some younger (+7 yr.)ones have a lot of dead wood. Would like to cut them back to maybe a foot off the ground (above the graft)? Also the dusty miller plant is as big as a bushel basket with long branches... can/should it be pruned back? It survived the minus 9 just fine but it is SO big & wonder if it would do even better (bushier, more flowers)if pruned a bit. We lost a lot of things to the freeze but hope some may come up again from the roots. |

Vieja, Cut all DEAD branches out of anything you grow now. As for maintaining bushes, (lavender is a bush), use the one third rule. Cut down one third of the plant after it blooms. Don't cut the plant now, unless it already bloomed. Roses, use the one third rule for them too in very early spring. |
Yes, I agree with butterfly. Definitely prune lavender to keep them looking nice. And the 1/3 rule is a great rule to follow. It helps keep your lavenders looking great if you use your first 1/3 cut to create a "donut". Ie, make your first cut of 1/3 in the center of the plant, make the "donut hole". That will let light into the inside of the plant, and you will get a shapelier plant and stroner growth that won't flop over sideways. When the plant has good regrowth in the center, then cut another third off the sides. This method of pruning will keep your lavenders strong and beautiful. Would also work with Dusty Miller, artemesias-- any plant that gets woody and flops. |
Gee, thanks so much Butterfly, Mehitabel!! I never would have thought of making the 'donut hole' to let the sun into the middle of the lavender.. In the Roswell, NM area & here in Albuquerque area there are a big lavender farms & even here in Albuquerque some commercial growers. I sew sachet bags & put the lavender,perilla, catnip, rosemary,western desert sage & sweet annie cuttings x my yard in them & 'stash' them descretly around the house & the aroma lasts a long time. The local nurseries can't believe my huge dusty miller survived this winter here outdoors! I will have to prune back the long branches though the whole huge plant is nice & full. The figs & pomegranates probably died back so will be a couple years of new growth x the bottom before we get any fruit again from them. Yes, Mehitabel, my two different (one smells like camphor!) artemesias are sprouting out fine. Sadly, I believe my old 6 ft. rosemary 'tree' was frozen all the way to the ground... no hope! |

For our first post, we're thrilled to highlight Major League Baseball's grand slam effort in support of United We Serve at tonight's All-Star Game. From a benefit concert to community service projects to a new Presidential video recognizing outstanding volunteers, Major League Baseball has made service the centerpiece of this year's All-Star Game events.
As Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig, puts it:
"The central theme of the 2009 All-Star Game is community service, celebrating the extraordinary work being done by ordinary people. We are thrilled that we can come together with President Obama, who has encouraged a renewed spirit of national service, and illustrate a call to action in our communities."
Before the game, President Obama appeared in a video with all five living former presidents celebrating "All-Stars Among Us," exceptional men and women who are dedicated to service in their communities:

Afterwards, the President threw out the ceremonial first pitch to get the game started.

ITMN has upside surprise
All the bad news has been out. FDA disapproval on request for more info, while review panel recommended the drug to be approved. It's an indication that FDA returning it to the applicant just because application is incomplete. That happens a lot when a company rush to get a study approved, without providing all the write-ups. Knowing that, i am waiting for ITMN to drop a little more so I can buy. As long sellers are done, I want to get in as a buyer.Tags: ITMN

Last year I purchased Iobelle and it is now exhibiting this unsettling yellowing of the leaves. This looks suspiciously like the descriptions of rose mosaic virus. :( I have just ventured into rose growing in zone 5 (lured into it by all the gorgeous pictures here!) aside from one knockout rose I have had since moving here almost 5 years ago. Is this a common problem among roses? Should I dig out the whole plant or just prune off branches? I may be paranoid, but the lower leaves look slightly yellow to me as well. This rose pretty much died down to the soil line this last cold winter. I purchased three other roses from the same supplier but they exhibit no signs of this yellowing. Are they likely to also be infected? Thank you for and info/advice . |
Follow-Up Postings:
The big leaflet in the lower right corner definitely shows symptoms of virus. 'Iobelle' is one of the roses bred by Dr. Griffith Buck in the 1950s-70s. These are generally good for zone 5, but most varieties were infected with virus by discount rose producers. Today, probably clean specimens can be bought from Pickering Nurseries in Canada. Also, Roses Unlimited has a lot of Buck roses that were previously virused, but RU has been gradually cleaning up their stock. I would ask Pat Henry which Buck roses age thinks are clean. But many US producers are still selling virused roses. Other Iobelles from the same producer are very likely to be virused. Opinions differ on whether it is OK to keep a rose known to be virused. Most rose people think it is OK. Henry Kuska here on GWeb thinks it is not OK. These roses will usually survive and bloom with the visible symptoms coming and going. Virus may contribute to winter kill. |

The following was stated: "Opinions differ on whether it is OK to keep a rose known to be virused. Most rose people think it is OK." H.Kuska comment. Michaelg gives the above information without knowing which virus and which virility strain your plant has. Plants have an immune system against common viruses. At least some of the viruses that attack roses have a temperature dependent immune system. At higher temperature the immune system is relatively effective in controlling those infections. Since you are in zone 5, I would expect that experiences of southern rose growers (which appear to be the "most rose growers" that Michaelg is referring to) would not be applicable. There also is a northern rose grower here who inherited virused roses from parents. These are doing fine - but there are different strengths of virility even within a single type of virus and different roses have different strengths of immune systems, so that does not tell you how many roses the parents lost to viruses before the present plants were left. I suggest that you check with the older rose growers in your local rose society for their long term experience. If you are interested in what appears in the most recent reviewed scientific publication on the possibility of spread of two of the more common rose viruses, PNRSV and ApMV, this is a quote: "PNRSV is known to be transmitted mechanically, by root grafting and by seed (Abdel-Salam et al. 2008; Golino et al. 2011). The virus may be transmitted by pollen in rose although this hasn't been fully ascertained (Kuska 2003). The high incidence of PNRSV in New Zealand is unsurprising as it is also vectored by the Western flower thrip (Frankliniella occidentalis) which is reportedly spread throughout New Zealand (Greber and Teakle 1992; Teulon and Nielsen 2005) and is known to infest many glasshouse crops (E. Milleza, unpublished data). " Please note that for a statement to appear in a reviewed scientific publication, it has to be the thinking of the authors, plus it has to be approved by normally at least 3 of their scientific peers (the reviewers) and by the editor of the journal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------- High Temperature Effect on PNRSV Can North American rose hybridizers safely use pollen from PNRSV infected roses? Should northern rose growers be concerned about possible above ground spread of PNRSV? Blackberry chlorotic ringspot virus (BCRV) Information about Rose Rosette Disease |
Here is a link that might be useful: link to 2013 rose virus scientific paper
If you really like the rose keep it and enjoy it for many years to come. The symptoms will only appear from time to time when the rose is otherwise stressed. If it bothers you that much get rid of it. However, you probably won't find another one that isn't virused easily. Iobelle was bred during the time when almost all roses were grafted, mostly to virused Dr. Huey, so there may not be any cleaned stock out there. Mine did succumb to this polar winter but then so did about 60 others. It wintered very well for the first 6 years I had it. |
Add to all of the above that the majority of the Buck roses were introduced by Roses of Yesterday and Today, a nursery well known for using a contract grower who infamously used infected Dr. Huey root stock to produce everything. Years before the original nursery ceased operations (the current version is owned and operated by descendants of the last original owner/operator, and has little to do with the original other than in name), I visited them and toured their growing grounds. There were hundreds of three gallon, paper pulp potted roses and symptoms in every row of plants. I have personal experience with an Earth Song which was given to the gentleman from whom I obtained it by Dr. Buck himself, at Iowa State. It is virused. The man from whom I obtained it never budded it. He received it infected. So, if you hope to find any of the Buck roses (except, perhaps the later ones introduced in the nineties and later, but no guaranty) uninfected, it's pretty much going to have to be one which has been put through the treatment program somewhere to eliminate RMV. Like the majority of the AARS roses, which came out through Armstrong Roses (and were infected by them), the Bucks came to market infected. I haven't grown one yet which didn't show symptoms in my climate. Kim |

Thank you all for the replies and info. I originally learned of Buck roses on these forums and they seemed well suited for my area as I am in Iowa. At this point, I will keep my eye on it and see whether or not it has reduced vigor and decide what to do from there. I also asked local growers about experiences growing an infected Buck roses here. |

"I sort of recreated this product to become an announcement to share with my family that I am starting the journey of adoption. It turned out beautifully!"
"The photos we had taken of our new baby had a lilac and grey background which perfectly complimented the colours on this card (I chose the grey print). I selected rounded corners and pearl shimmer finish and it was absolutely perfect. I also selected to print 3 pictures on the back side along with a quote- love how it turned out! A beautiful card!!"
"When I first received these announcements I was very upset because the font in green was barely legible - it was way too light and it doesn't look this light on their site. So I contacted customer service and they got back to me immediately and they sent me new announcements with darker green font color without any hassle. They look great and I am so pleased with them! I have used tiny prints numerous times and this was the first complaint I had and their customer service was wonderful! I will continue to use them in the future."
"My favorite part of this product is that it could be completely personalized! I have been trying to find something where I could add special characters to the text of a photo card…I am so happy to have finally found a product and place that will do that. Thank you for creating such a great product."
"This card turned out beautifully! I love the layout and the quality was excellent. The bright colors looked gorgeous against my photo."

Big performance wins by optimizing fonts
| "Another contribution to the Identity team's node blog series.
This time, talking about font subsetting and connect-fonts, a sweet
little middleware that serves up i18n'd subsets for you, plus
manages CORS headers and generated CSS @font-face declarations." |

simple horiz-bar graffage

in the hopes that someone else can do something with it." |
Caching dynamic content with etagify
| "First blog post for a significant audience. Part of an
ongoing node.js series by my team at Mozilla, the Identity
team. The concrete example was an intro to connect-etagify,
the broader themes were:
* to build simple libraries, focus on the problem at hand
* measure your optimizations & use stats to test your measurements" |
All about ETags
| "Support material for the etagify article. Originally, I'd
planned to include material on statistics and on HTTP caching,
but this 1000 words came out to streamline the main exposition.
I cover some pretty far-out applications at the end, like
optimistic concurrency via conditional PUT." |
Backup your tumblr with wget
| "After the instagram TOS drama, I decided to download
my old tumblr photoblog. Rather than just google for
somebody else's one-liner, I read the wget man page,
like a Real Neckbeard. It was surprisingly fun; I took
notes along the way and and threw them in a Gist for
the sake of future searchers."
"Classified under nerdcore because it's not really geeky
enough to compare with the spooky PLT stuff below ;-)" |
fontbomb: somebody else's code, annotated
| "Fontbomb is a clever little project with a surprisingly
well-written codebase. I had nothing to do with it and
don't know the author, but I really enjoyed looking
through the code--surprisingly well-written, for what
looks like a fun little one-off project. I'm publishing
my notes here as an experiment in public obscurity." |
JavaScript dependency management: an epic interview question
| "Building a dependency manager in JS touches on a lot of
interesting areas you might want to cover in a programming
interview, and it's a practical enough problem that people
without a comp sci background could still have fun and
make headway. I've never been asked this question, and
since I'm publishing my discussion about it, I'll never
ask it, but I think it's a cool problem, which is why
I'm sharing it. The only thing missing is that my formu-
lation of the problem doesn't test for DOM knowledge, but
it's easily a big enough task to fill an hour with good discussion." |
Front-end architecture tradeoffs
| "There's a lot of talk about lightweight vs heavyweight
approaches to writing front-end code, but evangelists
don't talk nearly as much about which problems are best
solved by their favorite tool or framework. This is a
first pass at listing the factors to consider before
choosing the tools to use in building a given project." |
Re-entrant Exceptions in JS
| "If you explicitly control the call stack, then you can
fire a missing method exception, create the method, then
resume execution. I learned about this through Smalltalk

Last week I had another shoot with the guys from CuT, for an up-coming Jack Daniel's campaign that I've been working on, so we decided to take a wrap photo before packing up. A great bunch of guys definitely worth checking out.
All posts in Behind The Scenes
Video Shoot Wrap
This evening I wrapped shooting a music video that I'd been working on for a few days for a new artist called Vagabond Flag. The shoot went really well and I love working with a great team that I can trust. I often forget to shoot a "wrap photo" but not today … this is that photo. Will post the video link up as soon as we're finished with the edit and grade.
Ziey photo shoot BTS
A few weeks ago I had a photo shoot with Ziey for new press images to support the latest stuff he's been working on. It was really good spending time together and exploring new parts of the city together to find locations.
Patrick from Hot Money took a shot of us working so I thought I would post up the shot along with one of the actual photos that I took at that moment.
Ziey has just released a new video so take a moment to give it a view / listen.
Our crazy "Machine"
Pretty much 8 months ago, I spent a weekend locked inside a dirty, dusty and cold warehouse making a music video for my friends in What Now. We worked the entire weekend without sleep because we had to build the set, shoot the video and clean up before the warehouse was being used again on Monday so that we could save money.
During the time we smashed up 4 pianos, 3 organs, 2 drum kits, 2 violins, 2 keyboards, 3 guitars, radios, patch-bays, microphones, fans, speakers and a bunch of other stuff only to put them back together to construct our own "machine". We had a lot of fun and only suffered a few injuries, including one drill to the head, but it was definitely one of the funnest shoots I've worked on (with Tyron Layley, Adam Jenkins, Ryan Morris, Brendan Monteiro and Ryan Prout).
I shot a few stills during the time but haven't looked at them until now only because I found it really hard to capture what we had created … these are my favourites.
Photo shoot with Colt 45
Today I photographed some new promo images with the guys from Colt 45 for their label Visible Noise. These will be released really soon and I am excited because it was a great shoot with the guys. I'm a big fan of their music and they're super nice guys so it was an absolute pleasure catching up and working together.
Thought I would post up these 2 behind-the-scene photos that they posted on Instagram today which show me working.
Look them up … they're going to be everywhere soon.
Photo shoot with Audiogold
Today I had a promotional photo shoot with the guys (and lady) of the band Audiogold. We shot in Highgate Wood and it was quite chilly out but I had a really good time and think that we got some great shots which I will be editing later this week.
These photos were posted by the band on their Instagram account so I thought I would share them because it's always hard for me to shoot my own behind-the-scenes photographs.
Shooting with Criminal Damage
Today I spent the day shooting a fashion editorial for Criminal Damage Clothing around East London. Always a good time working with them and this photo was taken by Anthony Niinemae … always funny seeing myself work.
Arizona BTS
A few weeks ago I worked with the super nice guys from Arizona who were out on tour from Belgium. I shot a bunch of new promo images for them and they posted a photo on Instagram of us working so I thought it would be good to get that up along with one of the images that resulted from that scene.
Good guys … look them up!
On the road in SA
Tour life is a good life but it is not a glamorous and we've been living in the van for a week now (driving on average of 10 hours a day) so the space is starting to feel smaller than it did at the start of the tour. We've seen some amazing scenery and I've been reminded how many beautiful parts of South Africa there are (forgetting about the really scrappy towns we've visited as well).
These 3 photographs are from my Instagram feed (@marcusmaschwitz) and are pretty much my view from the last week. How cramped is my work space?
Love being on the road again with such good people!
TBO – Take Away The Misery Video
My friends in The Blackout just released a video for their track "Take Away The Misery" and it's a collection of footage from time on the road, shows, rehearsals and general stupidity. They asked me to help them document some stuff for them including their main stage performance at Reading Festival and it was an absolute pleasure to work with them again as always.
Love these guys.

June 17 (Bloomberg) -- European stocks gained as German Chancellor Angela Merkel retreated from demands that bondholders shoulder a "substantial" part of the cost of a Greek rescue.
National Bank of Greece SA soared 8.5 percent. Banca Popolare di Milano Scrl jumped 12 percent following a report that BNP Paribas SA made an offer for the bank. Carrefour SA lost 1.7 percent after saying results in France failed to meet the company's own expectations.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index rose 0.2 percent to 267.17 at the 4:30 p.m. close in London, trimming the gauge's drop this week to 0.4 percent. The benchmark gauge has declined for seven consecutive weeks, its longest losing streak since 2008, as concern mounted that Greece will default on its debt. Volatility was unusually high today as index options expired throughout the region.
"The fact that Germany is getting more involved is helping the market," said Arnaud Scarpaci, a fund manager at Agilis Gestion SA in Paris, which oversees about $110 million. "It's a relief. Takeover rumors also are helping stocks. With weak valuations, there are clearly buying opportunities."
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou fired his finance minister in a Cabinet overhaul aimed at fending off a rebellion from within the ruling Pasok party and ensuring the passage of austerity measures needed to qualify for a bailout. European stocks fell to a three-month low yesterday after Papandreou said he would reshuffle the Cabinet and seek a confidence vote.
Merkel, Sarkozy Meeting
European stocks rallied as Merkel signaled her willingness to compromise on German demands that bondholders shoulder a "substantial" share of a Greek rescue, saying she'll work with the European Central Bank to resolve the Mediterranean nation's sovereign-debt crisis.
"We would like to have a participation of private creditors on a voluntary basis," Merkel told reporters in Berlin today at a joint press conference with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. "This should be worked out jointly with the ECB. There shouldn't be any dispute with the ECB on this."
Sarkozy said a "breakthrough" had been made on the Greek debt crisis, following his meeting with Merkel.
Greece's ASE Index surged 3.8 percent, the largest gain of 17 West European markets trading today. National Bank of Greece, the country's largest lender, jumped 8.5 percent to 4.75 euros, while EFG Eurobank Ergasias soared 9.3 percent to 3.17 euros. Alpha Bank SA rallied 6.4 percent to 3.32 euros.
National benchmark indexes rose in all but one of the western European markets trading today. France's CAC 40 Index and Germany's DAX Index climbed 0.8 percent and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 Index increased 0.3 percent.
U.S. Leading Indicators
In the U.S., the Conference Board's gauge of leading indicators, which measures the outlook for the next three to six months, rose 0.8 percent. That beat the average economist forecast for an increase of 0.3 percent, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey.
Banca Popolare di Milano soared 12 percent to 1.76 euros. BNP Paribas SA was reported to have made an all-cash offer to buy the Italian lender by Finanza & Mercati. The newspaper didn't say where it got the information. Popolare di Milano said it wasn't aware of any offer from the French lender. A Rome- based spokesman for BNP Paribas didn't immediately return calls from Bloomberg.
Carrefour sank 1.7 percent to 27.29 euros after the world's second-largest retailer by sales said first-half results fell short of management's expectations.
Celesio, Yara Fall
Celesio AG plunged 15 percent to 12.74 euros after Europe's biggest drug wholesaler said profit may fall this year as "government measures" across the continent and increased competition in Germany hurt results.
Yara International ASA, the largest maker of nitrogen fertilizers, slid 2.6 percent to 305.20 kroner. The U.S. Senate voted to eliminate a tax credit and a tariff that subsidized ethanol production.
Zodiac Aerospace jumped 5.6 percent to 57.57 euros. The French maker of seats, galleys, toilets and baggage storage compartments for commercial aircraft reported nine-month sales of 2.02 billion euros ($2.9 billion), up from 1.55 billion euros a year earlier, the company said.

Back with Bikinipedia. Sorry for the long wait, but I promise you it will be well worth it. This list features women with the letter K as their first name. For me this list beats all the other Bikinipedia lists, I mean you've got Kate Beckinsale, Kate Upton, Katrina Bowden, Katy Perry, Keeley Hazell, and Kelly Brook. So you see how I could be torn to pick a favorite, but as of right now I had to give it to Kelly Brook, to me she rocks a bikini like none other, but in about five years it will be Kate Upton as number one.

How can I evaluate whether my applications should be mobilized?
Mobilized applications use a variety of synchronization or caching technologies that enable offline or disconnected use. Data and application updates are exchanged whenever the network is available -- whether the period of "disconnectivity" is days or seconds.

In evaluating whether your enterprise application should be mobilized, consider the number of users who do not reside on the corporate network. Or the number of users who work in the field and would benefit from having your application work offline.

text: McNicholas M et al. – The effect observed is likely secondary to trial participation; both groups had similar baseline features, and were treated in the same way. Likely mechanisms for the differences are protocol, care and Hawthorne effects. The findings support the incorporation of structured randomized controlled trial (RCT)–style practice into routine clinical management, in order to deliver a more patient–centred care in the treatment of multiple sclerosis relapses. This may have implications for other chronic neurological diseases.

"Brought this to the office recently...everyone loved it and how healthy it was. I used buttermilk instead of the yogurt, soaked the oats in it too before adding to the batter. I also used 3/4 cup flour and 3/4 cup whole wheat flour instead of 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat...worked beautifully!"

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- TJX Companies
(TJX - Get Report) shares finished trading up 4.9% to $56.60 on Wednesday, recovering from a massive sell-off in trading yesterday.
The T.J. Maxx owner fell as much as -6.6% in trading yesterday after missing analysts earnings and revenue guidance during its first quarter earnings period.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
TheStreet Ratings team rates TJX COMPANIES INC as a Buy with a ratings score of A. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate TJX COMPANIES INC (TJX) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, increase in stock price during the past year, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- TJX's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 4.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 1.1%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- TJX COMPANIES INC' earnings per share from the most recent quarter came in slightly below the year earlier quarter. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, TJX COMPANIES INC increased its bottom line by earning $2.95 versus $2.55 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.20 versus $2.95).
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, regardless of the company's weak earnings results. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.30, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Although the company had a strong debt-to-equity ratio, its quick ratio of 0.75 is somewhat weak and could be cause for future problems.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Specialty Retail industry and the overall market, TJX COMPANIES INC's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Congratulations and thank you to Team ICGS for their tireless commitment and contribution in drafting the Sustainable Development Goals document.
To date we have never paid a salary and continue to work via volunteers - this means every cent or every donation goes to helping children.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
get a PR agency to help SASEF with their human rights initiative for children - The V Sign.
More feedback
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
Will you tell others about this organization?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
our building better communities by providing education and opportunity for children and youth who otherwise might not have a chance to go to school, visit a library, have a free after school tutor to help with homework, or learn the valuable job skills allowing them to become self-sustaining human beings.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
help SASEF find a youth serving partner organization in the state of Kansas. An organization willing to help facilitate the implementation of our education for employment project.
More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
first hand experiencing the joy and excitment of a young person we are helping go to school, get a job or create a community service project. Watching a scholar become a new person because SASEF made the financial and mentoring commitment in their life.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
genuine, respectful, cheerful, kind, loving, patient, caring, considerate, knowledgeable and resourceful.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Open more International Reading Corners - Safe Spaces to Discover the World in public schools located in poor neighborhoods.Scholarship more children to school- emphasis on girls. Do more work in the arts for poor kids.
Ways to make it better...
my experience with SASEF couldn't be better.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
like most organizations; obtaining more funding to implement our programs and identifying a youth serving partner organization in the state of Kansas.
One thing I'd also say is that...
this educational foundation implements innovative programs that inspire and motivate young people to perform community service, get an education and transform their lives.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
One time
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Keith Pullman commented on the blog post Marriage Equality Opponents Have the Whole Polygamy Thing Backwards
The slippery slope is clearly a myth in this case, as pointed out. But, bigotry like this should be met with "What is wrong with letting an adult, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, or religion, marry any and all consenting adults?"
They try to play to Islamophobia. Women ARE treated poorly in many countries, and the problem is gender inequality and "polygyny only," not polyamorous marriage. There are ALREADY and always have been homes with three or more adults sharing their lives. It hasn't been a problem, as long as it is where women have the very same freedoms as men and equal standing before the law. I am against polygyny-only. I think women, like men, should be free to marry a woman, two women, two men, a man and a woman, etc. All of the paperwork issues can be resolved. There's no reason why we should go on with the current model, which says it is perfectly legal for example, for a woman to live with two men, have children by both of them, but NOT be legally married to both of them at the same time, even though all agree.

A "truly original" movie spin-off from a game is coming, according to publisher Strategy First. That would be a film version of the Jagged Alliance series--to be titled, originally, Jagged Alliance.
The project is a film version of the Jagged Alliance series, which will be produced by largely unknown Hollywood-based multimedia entertainment company Union Entertainment. The Jagged Alliance series tells the story of an elite group of mercenaries who undertake a variety of missions at the whim of the highest bidder. The film version will focus on such aspects as the cutthroat relationships between the characters, who must rely on but can never trust each other.
Union president Richard Leibowitz commented, "Jagged Alliance is high on character and action, but with a dark humor that fans relish. [It] has a solid premise, and its character-driven game story makes it much better suited to film adaptation than many other game properties. Those elements are key to successful game-to-film translations."
Strategy First has signed up Nick Nunziata, producer of upcoming New Line Cinema titles Meg and Grizzly Park, to work on the film.
The Jagged Alliance series started in 1994 as a turn-based strategy DOS game, and has so far spawned five sequels. There is currently a Jagged Alliance 3D game for the PC being developed by MiST Land South and was due for release in "early 2006." This project failed to materialise, but it is still "under development," according to the release. A Jagged Alliance 2 version for the DS has also been announced.

Hi. I tried some carnation seed and because of the dreadfully hot summer, they did not grow last year. I am trying to find some large carnations that will bloom much of the year, preferably the plants and not the seed. I have seen Dianthus that will bloom from spring to frost, but they do not look very big. I really would like the large ones you get from the florist for a cutting garden.
I live in Mi and carnations are very difficult to find around here. Last year HD had some but they were the very small ones. Thank you! |

I talked with one of my Florists (a customer). She mentioned that she had had the opportunity to visit some large West coast growers/wholesalers. The flowers are grown in massive greenhouses under exacting conditions, computer monitered, extensively sprayed, etc. |

Ah, I see. So I can not expect my Carnations to look as beautiful and large as the florists? Sigh. Well, guess I need to plant several to make a nice arrangement. Thank you! |

Which coach deserves the greatest blame for the loss?
Fickell/Withers were awful, but that was sort of expected. Tom Herman coaching as shitty as he did was tough to swallow.
"Nothing that comes easy in this world is worth a damn." -Woody Hayes
I was very surprised at the vanilla play calling, but this loss still falls squarely on our defense and the 17-0 hole they put the offense in.
First series they had MSU stopped cold, but then two defensive penalties kept the drive going. MSU only got 3 points out of it, true, but then the unimaginative play calling played into the hands of the MSU D.
I wish I could vote a combination of Coombs, Herman, and Withers. All sucked in different ways.
The offseason begins when your season ends. Even then there are no days off.
Not sure who to fire ....the ultimate responsibility is Meyer's. I hope he gets stuff fixed by next season.
I would really like to understand the play calling. It was pathetic how we played into their stacked box all night? Do we not have any quick throws. Yes Miller had some great runs, but most of them were on busted plays so why in the 4th quarter are we running him into the line?
Ok so we dropped a bunch of passes that should have been caught...in perfect conditions. Maybe we were too tight. Now that I'm thinking about it we basically beat ourselves and gave the game away.
First ever undisputed National Champions! OH!
I would like to understand the thought process behind calling all those screen passes. They were playing an agressiive man all game and one time we got lucky and they missed a tackle. They weren't working yet Herman kept dialing them up thinking they would break off for a 50 yarder. Ridiculous.
The offseason begins when your season ends. Even then there are no days off.
Woof. People let Coombs off the hook too often because he is energetic and intense. The on field results have been pathetic.
We make every damn QB look like Joe Montana.
Urban Warfare
^^^ ding ding ding..... tell him what he's won johnny!
Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.
And we make every WR look like Jerry Rice
"Five players on the floor functioning as one single unit: team, team, team
- no one more important than the other." - Coach Norman Dale
It was Herman. The offensive play calling was the worst of the season. The D was about the same as usual.
I know Coach Coombs brings amazing excitement to this team, and it's fun for us fans to watch, but we need to step back and look at what is failing. And all season long, it has been our secondary that has been killing us. We have 5-star talent back there who are just being shredded. The last two (really three) seasons, we've made average quarterbacks look like world beaters. Gotta make a change there.
We had to score to win the game. I think the blame's 65% on the offensive play calling and 35% our DEF just not being good enough.
I don't know how anyone can blame Herman, He put up 24 points vs the best defense in the country, He did his job! Sure we wanted some more Dive runs but if you re-watch the game Michigan States D-Line def came to play and forced some 3rd and longs. The spartans pass D was beyond anything we've faced all year and broke up multiple TD plays so blaming Herman here is completely irrational.
I hate having to blame anyone. But if you make me choose I say Coombs. Our secondary has been a glaring weakness all season. Roby somehow regressed under him. I know losing Bryant has a huge blow, but let's be honest, the front 7 has looked outstanding at times, but all season the secondary has been average at its best. I don't think Fickell should be the scapegoat. I wish I could find the Traing Days clip of Coombs describing how to defend the out.... watch that and look at the players reaction. Then once your done, watch us play soft zone coverage and give up short passes all day against whomever we play. Offense is great, and it's sweet to be a scoring threat at all times, but defense wins championships. We simply do not have a championship caliber defense right now so we don't deserve to be champions.
Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.
Honestly they should've given me a mic and let me sit up in the booth, I couldve called better plays
But we knew our Defense wasn't good enough. They played better than I thought they would. The offense's inability to throw the ball was mind boggling. I thought for sure in the Dome Brax would throw it well. He has regressed for sure.
4th & 1 and they run a lateral play to the short sideline.
Worst possible play call ever.
Run Hyde up the middle.
"You win with people." - Woody Hayes
My favorite was the TE throwback pass.... because scUM didn't run that 15 times last week....
Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.
I want to change my vote. I quickly picked Tom Herman but, really, UFM is the head coach and, God bless him, he gets my secondary vote tonight. He needs to overrule from time to time. This won't sit well with him. We'll be back...
"When I look in the mirror, I want to take a swing at me."
Wayne Woodrow Hayes
I'll answer the question this way:
1. Mark Dantonio said they knew Miller was keeping the ball on the last real offensive play of the game.
2. Urban Meyer said he called that play.
Getting outcoached begins at the top.
The most "loud mouth, disrespect" poster on 11W.
2 plays to get 3 yards and they don't use Carlos Hyde. I hope Urban has to walk up to Hyde and personally apologize to him sometime between now and graduation. It's disgraceful to have a Heisman-candidate RB of Hyde's caliber and keep it out of his hands with 2 chances to get 3 yards.
Urban Meyer has complete control over this team. I give him all the credit for the 24 wins and I give him the blame for this loss. He could have fixed the defense, he could have over-ruled the bad offensive play-calls, he could have coached up the secondary. He's the head coach, he could fix whatever he wanted to fix. So it's his fault he let the bad play-calls happen and that he let coaches do a poor job with this defense.
All the credit for 24 wins, all the blame for the 1 loss. Now he needs to fix it.
I voted for coombs. And here's why...
We had the lead and the d was playing as well as they've played all year. Then the almost interception happened. And so did robys injury. We force the punt. Then they force a punt. Then reeves comes in. And they proceeded to pick that kid apart on their way to the go ahead touchdown.
Why, for the love of all things holy in this world, isn't our backup ready to go? Kid was ok in nickel and dime looks. But put outside...he looked absolutely lost. Thats on his position coach. Roby came to play tonight. He was all ovet the damn place. And reeves comes in and shits the bed. Once we got down, it was elementary for MSU. Grind clock, contain braxton and get the win. I know he's a sophomore. But he got exposed. And that's solely on the guy who's job is to prepare him to play.

Crawley Town striker Matt Tubbs is keeping calm about his future amid speculation he could be on the move before the close of the transfer window.
Tubbs' goal knocked Championship side Hull City out of the FA Cup at the weekend and sent Crawley into the fifth round for the second year in a row.
The 27-year-old has already been the subject of a bid from League One outfit Bournemouth this month and is continuing to attract interest.
However, he is trying to ignore the rumours and is focusing on scoring goals for League Two promotion chasers Crawley.
"I just go out there and do what I do in front of goal," said Tubbs.
"I've heard about the speculation and the rumours but there are only a few days left in the transfer window so if anything happens, it happens.
"I've been at Crawley for 18 months now and it's just my job so I'll get on with it whatever happens.
"If something does happen though, I'm sure it'll be good for me and good for the club, too."
