Are you seriously telling me that someone who started out as a whiny, depressed little emo punk out of Nagrand is going to be the subject of multiple raid wipes at level 90? At the end of the day, he's just a big red mortal orc with a giant axe and a tiny head. No demonic energies, no undead armies, no Old God corruption. I'm not buying into it yet.

The Scourge is mostly under Bolvar's control. But the Hammer is a different, unique story. These were people who willingly made a decision to join Deathwing's followers, whether out of fear or of a desire to be on the 'winning team.' Will we let them crawl back to us, or will we treat them all as war criminals? Or is this a moot point and have we killed pretty much every single one?

Internet-wide scan reveals millions of devices are exploitable due to use of default passwords like "admin" or "root"
Posted By Enrique Manalang On March 22, 2013 @ 2:01 PM In General Tech,World Wide Web | 3 Comments
A researcher, who has chosen to remain anonymous, has performed an internet-wide scan to determine the security level of gadgets like printers, webcams, and set-top boxes all across the world.
The scan was done by using the researcher's custom-written code to send out more than 4 trillion messages. To put things in perspective, the internet's current address scheme can have approximately 4.2 billion addresses. So after the 4 trillion messages were sent, only 1.3 billion addresses responded. This revealed that half a million printers, over one million webcams, and numerous other devices still use the factory-default passwords for "security." These are the usual passwords you'll find when you set up a new device, such as "root" or "admin." I wouldn't be surprised if "1234" or "0000" are in there as well.
The problem with using default passwords, the researcher says, is that it theoretically allows almost anyone to take control of these devices. And unfortunately, this is already happening. The unnamed researcher says that hackers are exploiting these unprotected devices to run criminal networks, send out spam, perform phishing and DDoS attacks.
The lesson here? Change the password when you get a new device. It's a few steps that can go a long way in making the internet a safer place for all of us, one user at a time.

Barley and OSR harvest under way
ABOUT 10 per cent of the UK winter barley crop had been harvested by the beginning of this week. Most is in the south east and eastern regions, where up to 40 per cent of the area has been completed.
It is still too early to gain a clear picture of quality and yields as crops have been highly variable, with yields ranging from four to 10 tonnes per hectare (1.6-4t/acre) or more, depending on soil type, says ADAS.
Beating the weather
According to Saxon Agriculture's Mark Smith, malting barley quality looks good, with much of the crop maturing in sufficient time to avoid being overly affected by the dry weather.
"It seems to have escaped the worst of it, with yields that are understandably not as good as last year. but generally seem okay," he says. "There are one or two examples where yields are sharply down on very light land," he adds.
Nitrogen contents seem reasonable, coupled with a low level of screenings. However, with spring barley crops starting to be harvested this week, there is a question mark over potentially drought-affected yields for this crop, says Mr Smith.
Association of Independent Crop Consultants (AICC) chairman and Norfolk agronomist, Andrew Watson, says winter barley harvest is about half-way through in the county with better than expected yields so far.
"I expected below-average yields on account of the dry conditions this season, but at the moment they are looking like they could even be above average, particularly with the medium to strong land still to be harvested."
Crop quality is good, as are nitrogens, while bold grains are making for good specific weights.
"It's a strange season in terms of localised harvesting conditions. Visiting an Essex farm this week, winter bean harvest was going to begin prior to wheat, which is very unusual," adds Mr Watson.
Variable yields
Nottinghamshire-based Arable Alliance agronomist Andrew Wells says that with most winter barley grown on sands, yields are variable and there will be no records broken this year.
Oilseed rape harvest is under way, and growers are pleased with yields at 4.4t/ha (1.78t/acre).
However, there is a clear difference in yield between several varieties, and one grower has noted that DK Cabernet is behind others in yield terms, possibly following the difficulties the variety experienced at flowering time.
Andy Scott, technical manager at LW Vass in Bedfordshire, says winter barley quality is good, but the best yields are at 7.5t/ha (3t/acre) on stronger land, the dry season putting paid to anything bigger.
One grower has already starting combining some Cordiale winter wheat grown on 'very thin' land. Yields were very disappointing, he says.

Professor Seth G.N. Grant FRSE
Centre for Neuroregeneration
Chancellor's Building
49 Little France Crescent
Seth Grant graduated from Sydney University with a Bachelor of Science (Medicine) degree based on research in respiratory neurophysiology with Dr. D.J.C. Read in 1980.
He graduated with Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery with First Class Honours in 1994 and also conducted respiratory physiology research at the Royal Free Hospital London with Dr. S.W. Clarke in 1981 and 1983.
From 1985-1989 he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (New York) with Dr. D.Hanahan studying transgenic mouse models of cancer and diabetes.
As a research associate at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (1989-1994) and Centre for Neurobiology and Behavior at Columbia University (New York) he studied mouse genetic models of learning and memory with Dr. E.R. Kandel (Nobel Laureate in Medicine and Physiology, 2000).
He established his laboratory at the Centre for Genome Research at Edinburgh University in 1994 and in 2000 was appointed Professor of Molecular Neuroscience in the Division of Neuroscience. In 2003 he was appointed Principal Investigator at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge and remained there until 2011, when he returned to Edinburgh University.
He has held additional appointments including the John Cade Visiting Professor at Melbourne University (2005), Honorary Professorship at Cambridge University (2007 onward) and elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (2011).
The long-term aim is to understand the fundamental mechanisms of behaviour and how these mechanisms are involved in brain disease.
The research has focussed on the study of genes and proteins that control the synapses between nerve cells. Multiprotein machines comprising many different protein components are responsible for basic innate and learned behaviours and dysfunction in many brain diseases. Recent work shows that these mechanisms are conserved between mice and humans opening new avenues for diagnosis and therapeutic discoveries.
The Genes to Cognition research team (www.genes2cognition.org) has generated a large amount of data and tools that are freely available and an education and public understanding website (www.G2COnline.org).
The Grant lab is currently funded by The Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council and European Union (GENCODYS, EUROSPIN, SYNSYS, Human Brain Project)

FardaSaz EXE to SWF User Reviews
"fast and easy to use"
Version: FardaSaz EXE to SWF 1
fast and easy to use
old version
"Works perfectly and quickly, though interface is odd."
Version: FardaSaz EXE to SWF 1
* Works as advertised.
* Works quickly.
* Small program which does not even require an installer.Cons
* The "drag the file to the floating blue box" interface is unusual.
* Only accepts one file at a time (e.g. you can't drag several files to the blue box at the same time).Summary
I needed to remove some training videos from some Windows .exe files so our Mac users could watch them. I tried a couple of other programs and they did not work. This worked perfectly. It created the files in the same directory, then when I opened those same files in Firefox I got a Flash movie in my web browser, just as I wanted. Perfect.
"Works Perfectly -Old Macromedia .exe Files, Too!"
Version: FardaSaz EXE to SWF 1
So far has converted every exe I have dropped on it, including old Macromedia players.
None so far.

The golden girls came out in full force for the grand show, and they oozed glamour in these luxe looks on the red carpet! Who do YOU think rocked the metallic trend best?
From Taylor Swift to Rita Ora, so many stars who stepped out at the Staples Center in LA for the Grammys on Jan. 26 really sparkled. From dazzling embellishments to metallic hues, it was all about gleaming in gold — and we loved it!
Grammys 2014 — Gold Dresses Are The Major Trend Of The Night:
These leading ladies looked like they were trying to match the Grammy Award as they rocked the red carpet in their frocks. My personal favorite had to be Taylor, who looked both sophisticated and chic in her gold lamè Gucci Première gown. The short-sleeved ensemble fit her tall, svelte frame perfectly — and she totally owned this look! A ponytail tied the get-up together and kept the focus on the gorgeous detailing of her gold dress.
While Taylor looked amazing, she wasn't the only star who stood out in gold. Rita also looked lovely in a long-sleeved Lanvin frock while model Chrissy Teigen definitely stood out the most in the trend. In fact, Chrissy looked like she was literally dripping in gold as she sizzled on the red carpet in her embellished Johanna Johnson gown. With a sexy neckline, a form-fitting silhouette, a front-slit, and a dramatic train, everything about this luxe look oozed glamour.
Gold is a great color because it looks great on a variety of complexions — and there's so many different ways to wear it! See who else tried the trend and VOTE and let us know who you think rocked metallics the best.

What can really be said, what needs to be said really. As with all storms in a teacup the overreactions to this have been rather amusing and interesting to read, thankfully it has all blown over and the risk of our dinner set being disrupted has been quelled.

I don't agree that this is a storm in a teacup. I really don't. I've seriously asked myself whether I'd continue to play or not.
But I'm glad it's over and we can start talk about other stuff.
So... how about some more posting here?

:P It is more amusing to read the storm than to stand in it and become wet. Well, depending on the company.
It really is a storm in teacup, Blizzard would not actually have put this through without serious issues within their company. A real name is required to sign up and access the service (otherwise a hacked account is irrecoverable) unlike facebook or similar where you can post under any identity you wish to. Blizzard would eventually have reached the lightbulb moment and attached a universal identifier to your real id allowing you to contact people.
Their setup at the moment is a very primitive social network, it will get better as they move from games to social setup.
I understand why people see it as more than a storm in a teacup, however at current all this did was restrict forum access, which is a secondary medium. Once it moved to more than that it would have become an issue but by then they would have realised the lawsuits waiting to happen were a bad idea.
As you say though, it is over for now, but really we should be campaigning for a real like a gravatar giving you a globally recognised ID for anything you want to tie into it with access controls / subnames so you can aggregate multiple identities (professional, personal etc) keeping them together but separate. - 5:03 PM

CTIA: Former presidential candidates added to the keynote roster
John Edwards and Fred Thompson have been added at the last minute to CTIA Wireless' list of keynote speakers. The two former presidential candidates, both of whom flamed out in their separate nominating contests, will impart their wisdom on the wireless industry on Day 3. Perhaps that's some incentive not to book the early flight out of Vegas next Thursday.
What, I wonder, are these two going to talk about? How they would have shaped wireless communications and spectrum policy if they had become President? What industry legislation would they have passed if they hadn't given up their respective seats in the U.S. Senate? Maybe they'll discuss how wireless technologies aided their campaigns on the trial. If that's the case, then wireless didn't prove to be all that successful as an electioneering aid. Maybe they'll talk about how they would have won if they had only used more wireless technology.
Also of interest on the keynotes. We may have our first cancellation. Simon Beresford-Wylie, the CEO of Nokia Siemens, seems to have disappeared from�Wednesday's infrastructure panel.�Not to fear, there are still three other vendors to spread the LTE�love with Verizon Wireless CEO Lowell McAdam. It's a long way from Finland, so Beresford-Wylie has a much better excuse than former Motorola CEO Ed Zander when he skipped out on his keynote last year–right before a major Moto profit warning.

No shrinking violet
Picture an image-compression tool that does much more.
PicShrink is a handy little image compression utility that does more than just resize digital pictures. It also has basic image-editing features, such as cropping, borders, and the ability to adjust contrast, brightness, and intensity. You can resample images and convert file formats, too. It even makes it easy to add digital watermarks to protect your images from unauthorized use.
Opening the fully functional trial version is a little balky because it cleverly appears as if your only options are to order or register the full version, but clicking anywhere on the startup screen opens the interface. The interface itself is cleanly and logically laid out, and the controls are well labeled and easy to use. The large central preview pane features two tabs, one labeled Container that displays all selected files as thumbnails, and another labeled 2 Windows Up that previews altered images before the chosen operations are performed. A second, resizable preview pane displays the original image. A Profile feature saves your settings so you can apply them to new images.
There are a lot of image editors out there, and many new PCs come bundled with some pretty hefty packages. The great advantage of a compact utility like PicShrink is its simplicity: it can take longer to figure out how to use some big-time image editors than it does to actually do the job with PicShrink. They may do more, but chances are good that PicShrink has everything you need most right where you need it. You have 30 days to try this well-behaved download. We recommend it for all user levels.

NuTeak will outlast any teak decking and it will look like freshly installed teak year after year. Today's boats utilize many advanced modern materials. Carbon fiber and fiberglass provide structural strength, Kevlar in our ropes and sails give us higher breaking strains and greater product life while stainless steel has made rust a thing of the past. Now it's time for decking to be treated to a modern, high tech upgrade.
NuTeak synthetic decking is a superb alternative to teak decking that can be applied to almost any surface including fiberglass, steel and wood. Both materials composite structure make it impressively non-slip even when wet.
Decking materials come in Flexible or Rigid with White or Black caulking.
Color fast pigmenting and "graining" give NuTeak an authentic look. Combine this with the fact that each strip actually includes its own caulking edge and tongue and groove ends, the end result will look like something laid by a traditional craftsman.
Since NuTeak is non-porous, water, oil, and dirt does not penetrate the material. It requires no oiling, varnishing, sanding or scraping. Cleaning is simple, just use soap and water. Unlike real teak, it also can be pressure washed.
Since the material is UV stabilized and is colored throughout its thickness, it will retain its classic appearance for many years.

Ask President Kibaki To Call For Elections Now
The NARC coalition has managed to marginalise the Kenyan tribes and some tribes have been locked out of the government with new threats of a purge in the civil service. Kenyans voted for NARC as a coalition and that has since disintegrated. Since over one million Kenyans have lost representation in the current government, it\'s only fair that elections are called to bring these communities back into government. All sides of the bickering feel that they have the upper hand yet the mwananchi should. Call For Elections To Give Power Back To The People

Summer field day set for June 14
Kuipers Family Farm located near Maple Park will host the 2012 Summer Horticulture Field Day on Thursday, June 14. Wade and Kim Kuipers along with their three children, Tess, 19, Joe, 16, and Will, 14, will welcome growers to the 230-acre entertainment farm.
The Kuipers began operations in 1998 when they opened a 71-acre pumpkin patch. Shortly thereafter, they purchased the Pine-Apple Orchard just across the road, formerly owned by Tom and Dorothy Milnamow. The Kuipers have added several buildings since starting operations in 1998 to house the many entertainment and hands-on activities.
There will be plenty of things for visitors to do. Activities include a corn maze, hayrides, a farm animal petting zoo, pony rides, a haunted forest, a tractor-tire mountain, a pedal-tractor derby, a nature walk, and jumping pillows.
An orchard shop and bakery offer many foods and the chance to smell the aroma of fresh apple-cider doughnuts, home-baked pies, fudge, pasteurized apple cider, and hand-spun caramel apples. The Barn Store offers gift items, including unique fall decorations.
The field day will wrap up with a visit to the Aquaviva winery/vineyard/restaurant located a short distance from Kuipers. Aquaviva, a favorite of Chicagoans, is an award-winning winemaking production center and Neapolitan-style pizza bistro with beautiful artwork. Owners Vito and Joseph will lead a tour of the state-of-the-art winery.
The season runs from September through December; visitors can pick their own apples and pumpkins. Kuipers' is also the place to go for special events such as a cancer fundraiser and many fall festivities. The season concludes with Christmas tree cutting complete with visits by Santa Claus. The rest of the year is spent planning and preparing for the next season.

How to sound like Jerry Cantrell
With Alice In Chains in town recently for the Soundwave festival and their own side shows, now seems like as good a time as any to look at the guitar tones of Jerry Cantrell. The band's defining moment was the 1993 album Dirt, which stripped away the slightly 80s-rock elements of their debut and ratcheted up the dark, foreboding, Sabbath-y elements instead. Cantrell's tone was huge and warm, and a lot more 'boutique' than most of his grunge-era contemporaries.
The Dirt album was recorded with legendary producer Dave Jerden (as was its predecessor Facelift and the acoustic EP Sap), and legend has it that on Dirt, Jerden had Cantrell use a multi-amp rig to fatten up the guitar sound, with each amp chosen for the particular frequencies it emphasised. If you want to copy this approach at home, you don't need a whole warehouse of amps and a huge studio to record them in (although it helps). You can get somewhere close using multiple amp simulator plugins. I've had good Cantrell-like results in Pro Tools by combining Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier and Marshall JCM800 models from IK Multimedia's Amplitube 2 for the bass and midrange, respectively, and the Bogner Ecstasy model from Native Instruments' Guitar Rig 3 for the high end. Place each plugin on a separate track, dial out the frequencies you don't need from each amp (for example, you already have a lot of bass from the Mesa, so turn it down on the other two models), and select the same track input for each track. Each part on Dirt was double-tracked, so you might want to do the same in a recording context, or use a stereo doubling effect live if you're one of the growing number of guitarists who uses a laptop live instead of an amp.
Cantrell uses effects pretty minimally, but along with Kirk Hammett he was one of the main proponents of the wah wah pedal in the 90s. In this era he favoured the Jim Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Crybaby model, which has a bassier and much darker response than other Crybaby wah pedals – especially those available in the early 90s, when Jim Dunlop were still a while away from adding the myriad tone-shaping features available in some of their more high-tech pedals today. One way of getting close to this sound is to simply try to keep away from the upper register of the pedal's travel, but that might get in the way of your performance. Through a lot of trial and error I've found (and verified by comparing this directly with the Jimi Hendrix wah) that you can get quite reasonably close to that sound with a regular Crybaby by simply turning down your guitar's tone control. This is especially effective on the title track for Dirt, which features a snaky, wah-drenched melody like that would be a little too brittle if a more trebly wah sound was used.
6 Responses to How to sound like Jerry Cantrell
Great tips… :-)
This is an awesome post!
Thanks! I'll be using some of these tricks myself on some recordings soon, but I'll be layering different bass, midrange and treble tones using the same Marshall amp via reamping.
Great article. Jerry Cantrell is my favourite guitarist. His tone and playing on the new Black Gives Way to Blue album is sensational.
Cool youtube video of his live rig at youtube.com/watch?v=tlqyz021251
"Dirt" is by far my favorite Alice album to date (probably my favorite CD of the 90's as well)! One thing I really dig about Cantrell's playing style, besides his huge, warm tone – layed parts, and incredible sense of knowing what the song calls for, is the definition & clarity of his tone! Even though his tone is heavy as hell, you can hear all the notes ring out. Which is very important seeing how often he uses full chords.
One trick I've learned is to back off on the distortion when recording. Esp if you're layering quite a few guitar parts. Too much distortion really kills your tone – it's way too harsh sounding, esp in the digital world! I don't know about you, but I don't know anyone who can afford a nice tape machine, and the price of 2" tape is crazy expensive! haha
You want to sound like Cantrell, work on your vibrato. He's a master at it. A lot of his style is in his attack and fingering, the gear is secondary. Turn your gain up, roll the treble off a bit, kick the mids, use a solid pick and dig in. He plays every note like he means it.

Asian art…can you dig it?
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009Hey kids, do you like museums? Did you know that the Asian Art Museum has a blog? Not like, just any ol' blog, but a pretty dang good one, with lots of fresh updates written by all kinds of passionate people that work there.
You might think I'm just shilling for this pseudo-new bundle of joy of ours, but in all sincerity, it's all quality AND quantity, and you do learn a lot of cool stuff. Do you know what it takes to actually assemble and display a real samurai armor? Or that there's a umbrella with a sword handle? That our Bhutanese monks went to a baseball game (and Disneyland)? That our own director dressed up as a samurai for a staff meeting? Or how about the fact that before even the former main library was built (it's the building the museum is in now), they burned tons of opium pipes on the site? Sometimes the posts are enlightening, and sometimes they're just silly.
Take this video, for example. We worked hard to bring you the best in hammy, silly entertainment, all in the name of good humor and samurai exhibition promotional buzz. Please watch it, and go here to watch the other two companion video clips. They're super short! If you watch the other two, leave a comment so I know you were there!
Anyway, check it out and if you see anything you like/dislike, holla with a comment. If you really want to support us, please help us get our link out there in cyberland. Thanks!

Some of the hardest coupons to find are produce coupons. This is because a lot of stores will just lower the prices of items in the produce department instead of issuing produce coupons. They have to do this more often because the time it takes to plan, print, and distribute the coupons is usually too long for perishable inventory like produce. So they just mark it down in the store. With that said, you can find produce coupons if you are willing to hunt around for them. This may mean that you have to check out multiple grocery stores even.
Another reason produce coupons might be hard to find is because many stores rely on local growers rather than brand name growers for their produce. Local growers provide stores with the freshest possible produce, but because they are local they probably don't sell enough to make coupons a viable option. So, if you don't want to support your local growers, you might wan to try going to national chains of supermarkets, they are more likely to use national chain growers.
You may be able to find printable produce coupons online. If your goal is to find printable produce coupons then you should look to our Free Manufacturer Coupon Database for national brands. We keep that database as current as possible, so you will be able to find coupons that haven't expired, unlike of many of the other coupon databases out there.
Searching for coupons online is very different than searching through your Sunday paper for coupons. In the paper you'll find ads for specific stores and those ads will be organized into departments of the store. This makes it easy to think generically. You can think, "I want fruit. I wonder what fruit is for sale?" But online, you need to be much more specific than that. You may want to focus your search for printable produce coupons on specific brands and products of produce such as Dole or Del Monte, rather than searching for something more vague like "produce coupons."
This leads us to our final thoughts about produce coupons. You need to avoid extremes. We have explained that produce coupons are hard to find, so it might be easy to get caught searching for them for hours on end. Don't do that! Your time is more important than saving 12 cents on bananas. Another extreme that is easy to fall for is driving all around town and even to other towns for deals on produce. You could end up spending more on gas than you actually save. Be careful with this! Lastly, avoid extreme prices. If the produce is not the price you can afford, and you can't find produce coupons, then don't buy it. Just wait for a sale or a coupon.
With these tools and ideas you will be ready to take on the task of finding those exiguous produce coupons. Start out with our database and go from there.

"stick with your current distribution or use something else as the speed improvements are small and for most people not worth the hassle"
However I am not most people, I say this on the basis that I like to tweak my system for performance.
Unfortunately the problem I have been facing with every binary distribution I have used is the bloat and noticeable sluggish performance.
My solution which doesn't improve things much is to try and tweak various settings / services until I am satisfied. But here is the real problem, I often find myself spending far too much time trying to make it work how I want.
This is why Gentoo makes sense. It is logical, I spend the time installing it with the added benefit that after installation it works how things should work. Fast, efficient and no bloat.
With other distributions such as OpenSUSE, Ubuntu and Fedora after dedicating time to install it, I then have to spend additional time trying to make it work how I want it to work. This isn't right, it is illogical.
Why buy a boat with the intention of using it as a car, you would be better off making a car from scratch.
Out of the recent distributions I have tried, Gentoo has to be the most innovating I have used to date. It has provided me with the ability to create the perfect setup with positive results and in a satisfying manner.
I have lost count the amount of times I have felt disappointed after installing a recently released distribution. Disappointed with its speed, system responsiveness and general assumptions made as to which applications or services should be running by default.
This disappointment is only further enhanced when I take the plunge in an attempt to try and tweak the system to make it work how I want it to work.
Linux distributions are too generic and performance is compromised as a result. My Gentoo experience has enlightened me even further on this aspect.
Being too generic is a bad thing, some may say it is advantageous because it is more adaptable but desktop users do not require this. If Linux overall is to succeed in taking over the desktop it must become more streamlined to desktop users.
I find it ironic when a Linux kernel that is part of a distribution is labeled as a desktop kernel, for example in OpenSUSE 11.2 you may notice the -desktop at the end of your kernel but when you view the kernel configuration it has support for 64 processor cores, extended non-PC platforms and extensive debugging options enabled.
These are simply bumping up the kernel size, adding more subroutines and slowing it down.
Looking at the distribution itself, security features such as AppArmor and SELinux have no real benefit to your average desktop user and further add a performance penalty.
So this is why I have decided to give Gentoo a whopping 500GB of disk space on its own dedicated Samsung F3 hard disk drive.
It works so well, it is fast, has nippy performance and is tailored for my needs. This is exactly the same reason why I always build my own PC's.
Gentoo, a waste of time and effort?
If you have the time and are willing to put in the effort then why not?

text: I actually hunted wiith 2 guys this weekend, 1 had the sport stand and 1 the avery. The avery looked well built and very sturdy. The sportstand was lighter and easier to carry with decoy bag on the back. They guy with the avery stand actually lost a set of legs in the water at one point since they aren't permanently attached like the sport stand. The guy who used the sportstand sits on the the corner of the stand with his dog, but welded a tab on the inside so the combo weight didn't bend the ears on the stand.

The Jason Winters Story
A terminal cancer patient given just three months to live, Jason Winters refused major surgery and traveled the world in search of an herbal remedy. He achieved remission and shares his experiences for the benefit of cancer patients and others seeking to avoid this dreaded illness.
Born in England to a working-class family, Jason Winters was 17 before riding in a car for the first time, or eating in a restaurant. But he had dreams and immigrated to Canada in 1947 where he worked on a farm in Saskatchewan. He then worked in Northern British Columbia as a lumberjack and for The Salmon Fisheries Commission.
Seeking adventure, Jason crossed the Canadian Rockies by hot air balloon. For Canada's Centennial Celebration, he retraced Sir Alexander McKenzie's footsteps down the McKenzie River by canoe, a trip of more than 2,000 miles! Still not satisfied in his zest for adventure, Jason crossed the Sahara Desert by camel before working for the New Zealand government testing seat belts by crashing cars into brick walls.
Jason attempted to be the first man to cross the Atlantic Ocean by hot air balloon, but crashed half way. Unlike most balloonists, Jason removed the typical basket from beneath the balloon and replaced it with a small boat, a fact that may have saved his life as it took days for him to be rescued after crashing into the Atlantic.
The lure of Hollywood brought fame as an extra and stand-in for the role of Geronimo in the movie "Apache Agent." As a stunt man, Jason performed in all of Audie Murphy's films. His adventures spanned 20 years, but then came the biggest of all tests... facing death from terminal cancer. In 1977 a large, cancerous growth appeared on the side of Jason's neck. Normal cancer treatments had little effect on the growth and Jason was told to prepare to die.
But Jason never gave up on life. He turned to the alternative health field and natural remedies. He found special herbs on three different continents that had been used for centuries to combat cancer.
The individual herbs had little effect on Jason, but when he mixed the three herbs together in a tea (known as his Classic Blend Tea) his tumor began to shrink and Sir Jason experienced remission!
Since his discovery of the special herbs and the tea that contains them, Jason has written numerous books and has been invited to speak to hundreds of thousands of people all around the world.
Presidents, prime ministers and congressmen have come to him to talk about physical problems in their families. Through television and radio, Jason has reached millions more with his thoughts about alternative health care. Jason has won awards from six foreign governments and The United States. He was knighted in Malta in 1985 for his work in the health field. He received the Medal of Honour in Madrid and made the Laureate of Belgium, The Netherlands and South Africa.
He was also given a prestigious award of merit by Congressmen James H. Bilbray & Richard A. Gephardt of the United States Congress!
Today, Sir Jason Winters Products continue to help people throughout the world. Jason has been written about, talked about, admired and loved by people in every country where his book, "Killing Cancer," and herbal formulas are used. His products are available in over 70 countries and used by people worldwide. His sincerity, knowledge and compassion have been the comfort of many a lost or sick soul.

Liège Waffles: Starring Belgian Pearl Sugar
Posted in Bakery, Bakery Supplies, Belgium, Breads, Desserts, Recipes, tagged Belgian Pearl Sugar, Belgian waffles, breakfast, dough, Liège waffles, sugar, waffles, yeast on April 3, 2013 | 34 Comments »
Growing up, my favorite waffles were, of course, Eggos. Flavorless, with a fun catch-phrase, they were the perfect vehicle for syrup and butter. It's no wonder that I always preferred pancakes at renowned breakfast restaurants, like IHOP and Denny's. In college, our cafeteria was equipped with a flip-waffle iron and a bowl of batter. You could make waffles at any time of day. But, after eyeing the thin batter and tasting the outcome, it was clear that these were merely pancakes posing as waffles.
Then, I moved to Massachusetts, where I learned a lot about food (Aunt Jemima's isn't real maple syrup!?). I worked at a creperie as a barista who didn't drink coffee. The crepes were filled with strange, exotic ingredients I had never heard of, like arugula and Brie. I also learned that the owner actually specialized in a variety of waffle called "Liège waffles" (also sometimes known as Belgian waffles). I had no interest in trying one – I knew what waffles were all about. But an extremely enthusiastic coworker convinced me to give it a go. She took the deep-pocketed rectangle, toasted it, got out the whipped cream and strawberries and impatiently watched as I took my first bite. And then my taste-buds exploded (with flavor, not literally exploded). Sweet, dense, yeasted, chewy, filled with sweet crunchy pockets of sugar that also caramelized on the surface of the waffle – why ruin this with whipped cream and strawberries? Eggos were no competition – in fact, I wasn't even sure if they were really waffles at this point – these were the best waffles I had ever had!

Speaking at Motorola and Verizon Wireless's Droid event earlier this week, Google chairman Schmidt said that 1.3 million Android devices are 'activated' each day, but revealed this figure stands at just 70,000 for Android-powered tablets. Schmidt himself admitted that Google was "late" in coming to the tablet market.
We're not quite sure if an activation is a new purchase or when a new device hits a data network for the first time, but either way this would indicate that tablets account for around 5% of all Android activations.
Meanwhile, in the same week, Google also posted the latest figures on Android penetration via its Android Developer blog.
The post, which looked at the number of Android devices having accessed the Google Play store between August 23 and September 4, revealed that around 86% of Android devices are between 3 and 5-inches, with this share falling sharply to 6.5% for 4-7 inch models and to 4.7% for 7 to 10-inch tablets.
And as ever, figures indicated that Android continues to be dominated by older versions of the mobile OS like Gingerbread, which accounts for 57.5% of Android products, although Ice Cream Sandwich (20.8%) has risen to 20.8% of all devices.
The tablet-only Honeycomb (Android 3.0) is on 2.1% of Android models, while the new Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) has hit 1.2% of devices. This is however the latest iteration of Android, having launched in June, and is only on a small number of models including Google's Nexus 7 tablet and Amazon's Iconia Tab A210.

Enunciate 1.29 Released!
Enunciate 1.29 is a primarily a maintenance release, but also includes XML support for the PHP client-side classes.
Click here to download.
The Basics
Enunciate is an engine for dramatically enhancing your Java Web service API.
It's simple. You develop your Web service API using standard Java technologies and attach Enunciate to your build process. Suddenly, your Web service API is boasting some pretty impressive features:
- Full HTML documentation of your services, scraped from your JavaDocs.
- Client-side libraries (e.g. Java, .NET, iPhone, Ruby, Flex, AJAX, GWT, etc.) for developers who want to interface with your API.
- Interface Definition Documents (e.g. WSDL, WADL, XML-Schema, etc.)
- Etc.
Notice that the runtime of your application isn't affected. Enunciate is primarily a build-time tool; it's intent is to "get out of the way" so Jersey or Metro or CXF or JBoss-WS can do their job processing your Web service requests. Of course, if you'd like to take advantage of Enunciate's support for your runtime container, you may enjoy some other features.
Some Use Cases
Consider some of these successful applications of Enunciate:
- Development of a Web service API, where documentation is updated (including fully-up-to-date client libraries) as part of the build process.
- iPhone/iPad application development where the Web service API is invoked via Enunciate-generated Objective-C libraries.
- AJAX application development via GWT where the Web service API is invoked via Enunciate-generated GWT libraries which include GWT-RPC invocations or even Enunciate-generated JSON overlays via REST/JSON invocation.
- Flex application development where the Web service API is invoked via Enunciate-generated ActionScript libraries.
Getting Started
You may want to start with the getting started guide, which will walk you through the development of a basic Web service API. To integrate Enunciate into your existing project, take a look at the ways to attach Enunciate to your build process and take note of this document if you only want to leverage Enunciate's documentation and client-side library capabilities.
If you're a "show me" kind of a learner, Enunciate has some example applications that you can clone from Github that are run and validated as part of the Enunciate release process. You can also browse some tutorials for integrating Enunciate with your favorite framework.
Once you've got some momentum, you'll probably find the user guide and module documentation useful to refer to Enunciate's configuration options. And if you get stuck, check out the FAQ or post your question to the mailing lists. And if you need some extra help, consider asking about commercial support.
Enunciate is an open-source project, licenced under the Apache License, version 2.0. It was designed and built by Ryan Heaton, working for familysearch.org. Comments, enhancements or bug fixes to the project are welcome.

The vulgarisation of signature and the birth of art branding.
In the field of art, signature artwork means, the works of art which are created by established artists that can be easily identified as theirs due to the distinct characteristics in subject matter, style, or medium. This way of identifying the artwork is specially used in the identification of the artists of the medieval age or before. These days most of the artists use their special signature to signify that the artwork is created by a specific artist. The general reason for this is given that it can stop the spread of forged art. But this ownership of art has also lead to branding of artwork and this brand creation is used by many mediocre artists to raise their value in the art market.
Medieval Art and Signature by Artists
Most of the artists in this era either didn't sign their artwork or signed only one or two special creations. That's why most of their art creations are associated to them by identifying their distinct style they used for creation of that art. Some of the good examples are:
· Giotto (1266/67 – 1337)
Giotto di Bondone, an Italian painter, associated with several painting of the medieval era. He was also an architect. He signed some of his famous masterwork. Besides those few pieces he never signed any of his artwork.
The Renaissance and Signature by Artists
· Robert Campin (1375 – 1444)
This painter, who belonged to the Flemish Primitives, is one of the true masters of Northern Renaissance. This painter was from Netherlands and was famous for the art of oil painting. But none of the great work of this artist was signed by him, thus making it difficult to attribute his art to him.
· Leonardo Da Vinci (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519)
Da Vinci was the first artist in the recorded history of art whose paintings used to sell by his names. There were collectors of his paintings who wanted to acquire his artwork. But he didn't sign his work, that's why many of his buyers started signing them on his behalf. This was probably the initial signs of branding of art.
· Michelangelo (March 6, 1475 – February 18, 1564)
Michelangelo created his masterpiece sculpture Pieta in 1498-99. He didn't sign it, like any other of his creations. But as the story goes after the installation of the sculpture, Michelangelo overheard a visitor talking that the sculpture was made by some other artist. After this Michelangelo signed the sculpture to say that he was the artist who created it, this was the only work he ever signed. But later it is said that he regretted the signing of the sculpture attributing the act as an "outburst of pride" and decided that he would never sign any of his creations ever again.
· Caravaggio (September 28, 1571 – July 18, 1610)
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was a painter who was born and worked in Italy. This famous Italian artist never signed any of his paintings except "The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist." This oil painting made by him is widely considered his masterpiece and is also believed to be one of the most important works of western painting. Interestingly enough the signature was found during the restoration process of the painting, as the signature is hidden in the blood of the Baptist's cut throat.
· Francisco Goya (30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828)
This Spanish painter is famous as both the first of modern era artists and also as the last of old Masters. But there is one more thing that he is famous for and that is the micro signatures that were found in his paintings, which can be used to identify their authenticity. These micro signatures were found by Professor Antonio Perales and they are minute signals of identity, which Goya cleverly placed in all his paintings as his signature.
· Pablo Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973)
Picasso is probably the most popular of the 20th century painters. This famous Spanish artist is also associated with the co-founding of the cubist movement. He never signed his paintings until the moment it was sold leaving behind all the unsold and personal work without signature. Initially he used to sign "Pablo Ruiz y Picasso," but by the year 1901 he started signing simply "Picasso."
The purpose of signing by most of these artists of this era was to associates themselves with something which they thought was their special creation. Several times the artists believed that god was the true creator and didn't want to own their creation by associating with it. Then there were artists like Picasso and Goya who used their signature as a tool which had a purpose.
Modern Era Artists and Branding of Art
· Marcel Duchamp (28 July 1887 – 2 October 1968)
This French-American artist was one who used the signature in the crudest way. He signed a bottle drying rack in 1914 and called it "Bottle Rack," but then in 1917 he signed a urinal, named "Fountain" and while signing this he used a pseudonym "R. Mutt." This ordinary and vulgar display of signature to increase the value of the product shocked the art world. But this also displays how signature can play an important role in making money. There were several artists before him who signed their creations regularly, but he made it point out of practice. He proved that contemporary art was what someone was capable of accepting it as such and not a true display of an artist's capabilities.
With the advent of artists like Marcel Duchamp, the use of artistic style for the recognition of the painter has completely diminished. This has also increased the use of signature as a tool to create a brand name, rather than a tool to associate an artist with a piece of art. This has only increased the mediocrity in the field of art and increased its relevance as more of an investment vehicle than a work of creativity and skill. Great artists of older times didn't use to sign their work, however, it is still recognised, not by the signature of their name but by the signature of their skill and creativity.

Newbie question... Bought a brown ale beer kit online back in late March, but due to a ton of "reasons"(including putting in a new kitchen) I wasn't able to brew until now (6/1). I refrigerated the yeast and hops as soon as I received the kit. Yesterday I made my first yeast starter, using the White Labs British Ale yeast WLP005 from the kit. The "best before" date on the yeast is June 8, 2012 (one week from now). I took it out of the fridge about 4-5 hours prior to pitching to bring it down to room (fermentation) temp. I used a yeast starter kit from Northern Brewer. Followed the directions, using 650ml of water and 1/2 cup DME. Boiled about 17 min, cooled wort down to about 76-77 degrees (slightly higher than the temp I will ferment at, hoping this 6-8 degree difference won't have any affect), then pitched the yeast, which seemed slightly "clumpy". And I unfortunately forgot to add yeast nutrient. Stirred the starter frequently last night, as well as this AM. When I first checked this AM, there was no krausen at all, and about a 1/4-3/8 inch layer of yeast on the bottom. I would assume that that is a significant amount of growth... correct? Is the fact that there is no krausen reason to be concerned? Thanks for any feedback!
Sounds like even with that starter size, you're going to be underpitching by quite a bit. Assuming a 1.045 OG and a 5 gallon batch, you'll need about 158 billion cells according to yeastcalc.com. Using a viability date of 2/8/12 for the yeast, viability is estimated to be 16%, or 16 billion viable cells from the original 100 billion. A .65L starter using intermittent shaking, will bring you up to roughly 57 billion, which is about 100 billion short of what you really need. You can go with it, knowing you'll likely have stressed yeast, and it'll probably turn out fine if you give it a good 4-week primary. The fact that you made the starter does help since the yeast you do have are awake and ready to go. Howerver, if you haven't started brewing yet, I'd suggest you do another step up with a 1.2-1.3L starter so you know you'll be pitching at the proper rate. I wouldn't worry about the lack of krausen. That's not at all uncommon.
Thanks for the reply, LLBeanJ... Would purchasing another tube of the same yeast from my LHBS, and pitching that along with the starter help? (That way I don't have to wait to do another step-up, and can still brew tomorrow.) I had no idea that, even though the yeast hasn't reached its "best before" date, that the viability decreases THAT much! If I'd known that I would have gotten new yeast! I even called the online HB shop I bought it from to ask what ingredients are still "good" and what should be replaced. As for the yeast, they never mentioned anything more than simply making a starter. I'm still planning on brewing tomorrow; I'll probably keep it in the primary for 4 weeks or so, like you said. Thanks again! (Any other suggestions/comments are appreciated!)
Got your PM, but I'll answer you here. Yes, if you can get another vial of yeast that is fresh, then go for it. That'll put you right in the zone as far as count goes if you pitch it along with your starter. Also, if your LHBS does not have WLP005, the Wyeast equivalent (i.e., the same strain) is 1187 Ringwood Ale. Good luck.

The Cardinals are not making any predictions about how long Yadier Molina will be out for, after he was scratched from the starting lineup with irritation in his right knee Saturday. The team expects to know more about the extent of his knee when they receive the results of a battery of tests Sunday, including an MRI.
"He could be good enough to go tomorrow," manager Mike Matheny told MLB.com after the team's win over the Marlins. "We just want to rule things out and get a good look at it."
Molina has been bothered by the injury since the last few innings of Friday's game, and he was ruled out for Saturday's game early.
Molina previously had surgery on this knee in 2007.

One of the sweet results of running in the StartupNation Leading Moms in Business Competition is that I'm hearing from both men and women who felt encouraged and dropped me an email.
I, in turn, am inspired by some of their stories. One jumped out to me today. A woman chose to leave an unhealthy work environment to work from home, although the pay is far less. She's nervous about it, but saw my story and felt perhaps she, too, could do well for herself by being her own boss. I emailed her back, rooting her on.
I know and work with mostly self-employed people. The parents in the bunch are often the most expertly skilled and creative; like the one mom, who held conferences in her closet so clients couldn't hear her small children. I find parents to be tightly focused on their work and they're willing to work odd hours, which makes them a good choice for companies outside their time zone. Rush jobs are fine because to them, this is like overtime pay.
Not working for management that has completely forgotten about the lower class, sub-humans working in their departments is akin to going the health spa every day. Now granted, I had two Directors in my corporate days who LOVED me and my work. They were always fair. However, even they couldn't convince the aliens from the Human Resources department to pay me an equal wage my male counterparts were receiving.
So what I tell folks is this. Hire self employed people who know their self-worth and will bill you for it. They will kick ass for you. They not only will kick ass, they were courageous and brilliant enough to leave companies that viewed them as slaves with health benefits. Being a self employed worker is the first step in being healthier. This is why health insurance companies charge us WAY more for self-employment health insurance in the USA.
Virtual Work
For those who hadn't noticed, this is the Digital Age. In layperson's terms, this means we're all connected by invisible cords, tubes, pipes, wires and molecules of funny stuff floating in the air. There's no need to leave your living room to earn money. All you need is a computer and the brain God gave you.
Virtual workers may be perfectionists. I know I can be. But only for myself. If I don't do the very possible BEST job to meet my own set of expectations, I deny myself tortuous things like Oreo's dipped in peanut butter. However, the benefit to companies who hire virtual workers like me are this:
1. We're not flirting with the sexy hunk guy in the cube next door. (This, incidentally, is one of the reasons I'm now married.)
2. We're not IM'ing at EVERY possible thing that's happening in the office. We could be Twittering however, but we're using that to market ourselves, or if you're really cool and nice to us, you and YOUR company.
3. We have less overhead so we can charge less than the slave peon you spent 1000 hours interviewing and now despise.
4. We buy our own staplers and will never hog up your bathroom.
5. We are virtual by choice. Think about it. We're so brilliantly skilled that we no longer need to work our buns off to make companies' investors happy. We work our buns off to make ourselves happy and if we like you, this means we CHOSE to make your company look good. Think about this, dear reader. If we WANT to make your company a success, isn't that worth hiring us for?
In any case, I'm rooting on those who, like me, are willing to risk it all to make a better life for ourselves and our families. We're determined, disciplined and daring enough to deliver exceptional work done to standards that exceed your expectations. I did it my way. I did it from home. I don't support Iraq with a daily commute. I wear jeans to work and in the summer, do research out by my pool. I'm a stressed out insomniac who is always behind on work and never has time for my friends.
But, I was a stressed out insomniac working outside the home too.
Only now, I laugh a lot more.
