WSIS Forum 2011 unites governments with grassroots to re-energize the development agenda
World leaders are gathering in Geneva this week to work on strategies to more effectively harness the power and reach of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to accelerate progress towards the Millennium Development Goals in crucial areas like health and education.
Co-organized by ITU, UNESCO, UNCTAD and UNDP, the World Summit on the Information Society (16-20 May) is the world's largest annual gathering of the world's 'ICT for development' community, including UN agencies, governments, civil society and ICT industry representatives.
Guest speakers at this morning's opening ceremony included Ministers and deputies from 17 countries, including Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Burundi, El Salvador, Finland, Gambia, Ghana, India, Mexico, Montenegro, Oman, Philippines, Poland, the Russian Federation, Serbia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Delegates also heard interventions from ITU Secretary-General, Dr Hamadoun Touré; Supachai Panitchpakdi, Secretary-General of UNCTAD; Juan Somavia, Director-General of the ILO; Janis Karklins, Deputy-Director of UNESCO; Mohamed Nasser Al Ghanim, Director-General, Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of the United Arab Emirates; John Davis, Vice-President, Intel Corporation and General Manager of Intel's World Ahead Program, and Cyril Ritchie, President of the Conference on NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the UN (CoNGO).
This year's WSIS Forum also welcomes more than 70 Members of Parliament and many other senior government figures. Over 1,000 representatives from around 140 countries are expected to attend the week-long event.
In his opening address, Dr Touré stressed the importance of broadband to national economic and social development. "I think we are all very much aware of how close we are to the 2015 deadline for meeting the WSIS targets and the Millennium Development Goals. We have made quite extraordinary progress in terms of connectivity, the creation of an enabling environment, and cybersecurity. The next major step must be to repeat the 'mobile miracle' for broadband Internet," he said.
The Forum will also serve as the venue for the UN Group on the Information Society's first meeting of the open consultation process on the overall review of the implementation of the WSIS outcomes. Stakeholders will jointly brainstorm on the action plan for the Review Process (WSIS+10), to be held 10 years after the conclusion of the Summit, as recommended in the Tunis Agenda.
In addition to reviewing progress towards the WSIS targets set for 2015, this year's WSIS Forum will foster interactive debate and information exchange on a wide range of key topics such as rural development, multilingualism, environmental sustainability, education, healthcare and innovation.
The opening ceremony was followed by a High Level session, Working Together Towards 2015. Ongoing High-level Dialogues throughout the course of the week include:
- Right to Communication
- Innovation for Digital Inclusion
- ICTs to Enable Least Developed Countries
- Building Confidence and Security in Cyberspace
The WSIS agenda is the result of a comprehensive open consultation process involving all stakeholders. Spanning three phases, this year's process welcomed 150 contributions from 50 countries.
Remote participation is an integral component of the WSIS Forum 2011. Each session can be viewed remotely at: http://groups.itu.int/wsis-forum2011/Home.aspx.
This year's WSIS Forum 2011 programme has been greatly enhanced thanks to the strategic partnership and contribution of the United Arab Emirates. The Forum has also benefited from contributions of Oman for the series of workshops, and Mexico for Spanish interpretation.

The Informa Telecoms & Media says that connecting rural areas and proving information communication technology (ICT) access is set to be the future of the industry.
Informa Telecoms & Media, Nick Jotischky, who is of the view that globally mobile subscribers will continue to fall, points out that, "In Africa the trend is going to be much the same in the sense that subscriber growth will falter but I think expansion into rural areas can and will boost growth and even cause acceleration."
Speaking at the Africa Com 2010 conference, a two-day gathering of the telecom industry focused on Africa, Jotischky stated that under-served rural areas present growth opportunity for operators.

Industry lobby group Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) has called on the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) to support mobile broadband services in South Africa by making key decisions on mobile spectrum allocation and taxation policy.
According to a report by analyst firm Analysys Mason, which was commissioned by the GSMA, spectrum allocation and the levying of additional taxes on mobile services are the major barriers to wider mobile broadband deployment and the launch of Long-Term Evolution, the next generation broadband technology in the country.
The report forecasts that mobile broadband and related industries will generate 1.8 percent of South Africa's gross domestic product and as many as 28 000 jobs by 2015. However, the report says this can only be possible if roadblocks to mobile broadband deployment are removed.

The economy might be down but there are still plenty of opportunities on the Internet and in cellular communication for entrepreneurs. This is according to Arthur Goldstuck, director of World Wide Worx.
Goldstuck says that the laying of several new undersea cables and the recent landing of Seacom's cable in Mtinzini in KwaZulu-Natal will see a dramatic increase in broadband capacity.
He says most African states are rolling out fibreoptic and microwave networks that will result in an improvement in the quality of connectivity between countries on the continent.
A study conducted last year by World Wide Worx showed that sub-Saharan Africa's available bandwidth would increase by 120 times after six new cables are completed in 2011.

Access to cheaper and affordable broadband will present NGOs and all other sectors of South African society with significant opportunities to improve the impact and competitiveness of their activities.
The South African National Broadband Forum is an initiative of four organisations (Association for Progressive Communications, SANGONeT, the Shuttleworth Foundation and South Africa Connect) which share the goal of cheaper and affordable Internet access for South Africa.
The Forum invites everyone who believes that affordable broadband access is a national priority to express their support for the development and implementation of a comprehensive National Broadband Strategy for South Africa. A draft framework has been developed with input from multiple stakeholders at a workshop held on 24 March 2009 in Johannesburg. We believe that this framework can serve as a basis for building consensus on a comprehensive national broadband strategy.
We will present the framework to the new government elected on 22 April 2009 and propose that it be used as a basis for building consensus between all stakeholders on a comprehensive national broadband strategy for South Africa.
To read and endorse the full framework, click here.
I would also like to request that you encourage other NGOs and civil society organisations in your networks to endorse the framework.

D23 Unlocks The Magic Of Disney With A Year Of Spectacular Events Across The Country
In 2013, D23: The Official Disney Fan Club will reach out to fans across the country through an exciting roster of uniquely magical Disney experiences.
Starting in March, D23 takes the party on the road once again with our second D23'S DISNEY FANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION . The event, which played to crowds of enthusiastic fans across the U.S. earlier this year, will commemorate dozens of magical milestones, each celebrating an anniversary in 2013. Said The Hollywood Reporter of the 2012 event, "It's a must for Disney fanatics and a fascinating look at Disney history." Hosted by Disney Archivists and D23 Team Members, D23's Disney Fanniversary Celebration events will be held in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Newark, Orlando, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., and will revisit some of the most beloved theme park attractions, animated and live-action films, TV series, and nearly 90 years of Disney history. Fanniversary events will be open to the public, with special admission and surprises created especially for D23 Members in attendance.
D23 will once again partner with The Walt Disney Studios, offering members access to advance screenings of the latest Disney animated and live-action feature films. In 2012, D23 Members were among the first to see Wreck-It Ralph, Frankenweenie, and Brave.
MICKEY'S OF GLENDALE, the Walt Disney Imagineering employee store in Glendale, Calif., will open its doors exclusively to D23 on Saturday, April 13 and Saturday, June 8. Members will have an opportunity to purchase limited-edition merchandise and view the park-like grounds at Walt Disney Parks & Resorts' creative "think tank." Additionally, in 2013, D23 will partner with Disney Store in key locations to host exclusive and one-of-a-kind events for our D23 Members.
Throughout the year, D23 will continue its popular series of movie screenings at The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. D23's 50 AND FABULOUS returns, honoring Disney favorites celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2013, including screenings of Son of Flubber (April 13), Summer Magic (June 8), and The Sword in the Stone (September 15). FROM THE VAULTS also returns, bringing favorite live-action films back to the big screen, including the digitally restored 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea on November 16. The year also includes D23 DAY AT THE WALT DISNEY STUDIOS AND ARCHIVES, our popular member-only tours of the historic Studio Lot and Walt Disney Archives in Burbank. Tours will take place May 4, June 1, September 14, and November 2. In the fall, during Epcot's International Food and Wine Festival, D23's SIP & STROLL event will return (September 2013). And during the holiday season, D23 will bring back the popular offering DISNEY AND DICKENS (in Burbank in December), and introduce the all-new festive D23'S HOLIDAY SPLENDOR at Walt Disney World Resort in December. The grandest fan event of them all will take place August 9–11 at the Anaheim Convention Center when the D23 EXPO 2013: THE ULTIMATE DISNEY FAN EVENT brings all the wonderful worlds of Disney together under one enormous roof for three days. From The Walt Disney Studios and Walt Disney Parks & Resorts to Disney Consumer Products and our numerous media networks, guests will revel in new discoveries, special panels and presentations, movie screenings, celebrity appearances and autograph signings, and gain fresh insights into movies, television, theme parks, animation, Disney history, and more. Special "early bird" discounted tickets are available through December 31, 2012, and D23 Members receive an additional discount on tickets as well as special perks at the Expo. Look for dates, ticketing information, and more D23 events to be announced throughout the year.

X Window System Administration
Most files for the X Window System including executables, libraries, manual pages, include files and miscellaneous other files are kept in the /usr/X11R6 directory tree. There is usually a symbolic link called /usr/X11 to that directory.
The systemwide configuration files for X are in the directory /etc/X11. If you get a listing of that directory, the output will look something like this:
X fs mwm xdm XF86Config fvwm twm xinit XF86Config.0 fvwm2 wmconfig xsm
In the above listing, X is a symbolic link to the X server executable, which is in the directory /usr/X11R6/bin. Note that there is also a symbolic link called X in /usr/X11R6/bin, which points to /etc/X11/X, rather than the X server in the same directory. (Yes, there is a reason for doing it that way. Can you figure out why?) XF86Config is the file read by the XFree86 X server while starting up, and contains information about the mouse, graphics card, monitor and a few other things the server needs in order to run. Most of the other objects in /etc/X11 are directories containing sample startup files for programs that have the same name as the directory. The /xdm directory contains startup files for xdm, the X display manager. I will discuss the files in that directory later.
The XF86Config file is usually created during the installation of Linux. If you do not yet have X installed (or working properly), you can use the xf86config command to create it. Make sure you have collected detailed information about your mouse, graphics card and monitor first. Once you have a working XF86Config, you can modify it to change X's behavior. There are two warnings I want to give before saying anything else.
First, make a backup of the file before modifying it in any way. In fact, this is a good idea even if you do not plan to make any changes. Notice on the previous page that I have the file named XF86Config.0 in /etc/X11. That is simply a copy of the original XF86Config made immediately after Linux was installed. If anything untoward ever happens to my XF86Config file, I can quickly restore it from that backup file. Before making any changes to the "real" file, I make a backup using a numbered extension, such as XF86Config.1, XF86Config.2, XF86Config.3 and so on. That way, I create a history of my modifications, and can restore the configuration to its original state or to any previous state. This is a fairly common practice among system administrators that I suggest you adopt immediately, if you haven't already. It is also a good idea to make a backup of this type for the version of the file you are currently using, in case it is unintentionally overwritten by XF86Config or a reinstallation of the X software.
The second warning about XF86Config is that the part beginning with Section "Monitor" and ending with "EndSection" contains very sensitive information. If you mess it up, you could cause physical damage to your monitor! So don't change any of it, at least not until after you have read the man page for XF86Config and the XFree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO.
Now let's have some fun. A couple of simple (and safe) things can be modified in your XF86Config file relating to how your X session appears and functions. Both of these appear near the bottom of the file, in the parts beginning with Section "Screen" and ending with "EndSection". Take a look at your XF86Config file. Note that there are a few Screen sections. Each corresponds to a specific X server, labelled by the "Driver" tag. You will need to identify the one that goes with the server you are running. If your graphics card is reasonably new, you are probably running one of the accelerated servers, which correspond to the section that looks like the one shown in Listing 1. Most newer systems use the accelerated server, but if yours does not, don't worry—the sections for the other servers (svga, vga16 and vga2) are similar, just much simpler.
The strings that go with the Device and Monitor tags are descriptive in nature and not critical. Notice the DefaultColorDepth tag, which did not appear in my XF86Config immediately after installation. I added it to set X's default to something more interesting than the usual of 8-bits/pixel, which may run the fastest, but allows for only 256 colors. 16-bits/pixel allows many more (65536) colors, and 24-bits/pixel allows for "true color" of 8 (or more) bits for each of the red, green and blue color components.
Next come the Display subsections. Each has a different Depth tag, one for each mode (bits/pixel) the server can handle.
The Modes tag defines the physical screen resolutions the monitor supports. These must correspond to the Modeline entries in the Monitor section of XF86Config or they will be ignored. The first valid entry is the default resolution for X server initialization. I am often working with development projects where I target the least common denominator of 640x480, so I use that as my default; however, you might want to start out at 800x600 or higher. If you want to switch resolutions after the server starts up, hold down both alt and ctrl on the keyboard and press either the + or - key on the numeric keypad to cycle forward or backward through the list.
The ViewPort tag sets the upper left corner of the virtual display and controls which part of it will appear centered on the screen when X first starts up. This works only if your virtual area is larger than your physical resolution. I prefer to leave this at 0 0, but try using a few different non-negative values and see what happens. You'll notice the screen is shifted by that many pixels (horizontal and vertical) from normal.
Last, there is the Virtual tag, which is used to set the size of the virtual screen area. In 16-bit mode, I may use a physical resolution of 640x480, but I still have the ability to pan around (using the mouse) within a larger virtual area of 1024x768. The virtual screen area is limited by the amount of video memory on the video card. For example, at 1024x768 pixels and 16 bits/pixel (or 2 bytes per pixel), a total of 1.5MB of video RAM is being used. Some cards have only one megabyte of video memory and would not be able to support that configuration. Also, note that the X server may use a small amount of video memory for other purposes, so you may not be able to use all of it for your bit-planes.
Many more things can be done with the XF86Config file than I can describe here. For additional details, check out the XF86Config manual page.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

We make soft-bound, print-on-demand books out of personal archives of images, words and memories from the current wars.
About this project
Jan 31, with 15 hours to go, we reached our goal of $7,000. We're completely overwhelmed by the amount of support people have shown for the project and incredibly thankful. And there is still time to go. If you feel moved to contribute, please do. We can and will use every penny because the project has grown faster than our funds. Any additional money will help us sustain the current momentum in 2011.
With your help we can: run workshops where new interest has emerged; support old workshop sites where newly recruited bookmakers are waiting; and expand the library, which is critical to transforming our understanding of these wars.
The Veterans Book Project is a library of books authored collaboratively by artist Monica Haller and dozens of people who have been affected by, and have archives of, the current American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In their printed format, the books provide a place or "container" that slows down and materializes the great quantity of ephemeral image files that live on veterans' hard drives and in their heads. Each book re-deploys volatile images with the aim of rearticulating and refashioning memories.
The Veterans Book Project facilitates bookmaking workshops around the country. In these workshops, combat and non-combat veterans, their families, and others are invited to edit and design their archives and stories into softbound, print-on-demand books. Using software specifically designed for this project, three to six participants compile their digital and handwritten archives into book format over the course of a week. These materials can include digital images, emails, and journal entries from combat, as well as writings generated at the workshop.
The completed digital manuscripts are published through lulu.com. Available as a free download or as a published, softbound book, each is a contained and tactile "object for deployment," meant to be "deployed" to new audiences: family, friends, the art community, and the general public.
The Veterans Book Project is growing faster than our funds. Any additional money we raise beyond our $7k goal is crucial in sustaining our current momentum. Donations fund the Spring 2011 workshops: travel and lodging for project staff, food for participants, printing costs for published books, compensation for project staff, and computers for bookmaking. Any additional donations help us to reach more people and tell more stories.
To learn more, please visit our website: http://veteransbookproject.com, or find us on Facebook: "Veterans Book Workshop." You can view all completed books at our Lulu.com page: http://stores.lulu.com/store.php...

Nation's banking troubles are many times more severe than the authorities are admitting. Six of America's Largest Banks at Risk of Failure
Wachovia, National City tumble on bailout, WaMu
Wachovia Corp and National City shares tumbled as talks on the $700 billion bailout stalled and regulators seized Washington Mutual
Investors fear a collapse of bailout talks could prolong the freeze in parts of the credit markets and worsen losses on bank balance sheets from troubled mortgages and other loans.
"You're talking about the largest failure in banking history, so there is going to be a negative reaction, right?" said William Smith, president of Smith Asset Management in New York. "What you're going to see is the strong stronger and the weak are going to die off."
Wachovia shares closed down $3.70, or 27 percent, at $10.

Jose Canseco Recruiting Former Juicers For Minor League Team
Canseco tweeted this picture of himself Wednesday with the message "Hi lady gaga guess who." Really. |
But on Thursday evening, right after he requested to trade an autographed bat for "2 or 3" chandeliers, he also used it to tell the world he was trying to recruit Manny Ramirez, Sammy Sosa and Pedro Martinez for the Yuma Scorpions.
He tweeted that he was "going after manny, sammy, pedro," and, though Canseco -- a former steroid user himself -- didn't use last names, Ramirez, Sosa and Martinez are the only major-leaguers he is likely to be referring to, and he's not the type to tell a joke on purpose.
Pedro has never tested positive for anything, but Manny, who has 555 career home runs and was the 2004 World Series MVP, retired in April nstead of serving a 100-game suspension for the latest of several positive drug tests.
Sammy testified with Canseco in the 2005 Congressional steroid hearings and has 609 homers of his own, including the 66 he obliterated in 1998 when he and fellow cheater Mark McGuire kicked Roger Maris in the nuts by smashing his home run record with the help of a bunch of chemicals. Sosa tested positive for banned substances in 2003, according to sources speaking to the New York Times, and he hasn't played ball since 2007.
Martinez, who last pitched in the 2009 World Series, might be Canseco's best shot at improving the Scorpions, who have given up 199 hits in their first 18 games and struggled with sub-par pitching, according to the Yuma Sun.
Times have gotten so desperate for the mighty Scorps that even Canseco has had to take the mound: A tweet on Monday said "I pitched the 9th but was wild and had to pull myself." Heh.
Canseco also tweeted that at some point during that game, his dog Bruce escaped the team clubhouse and ran onto the field. He at one point described the dog -- in tweets, of course -- as weighing 200 pounds and being "a half weimaraner and half great dane that takes 5 pound dumps that are twelve inches high and can open doors."
Either "can open doors" is a dangling participle or those are the most talented turds of all time. The "speaking of talented turds..." joke is up to you, but I'm never unfollowing this guy on Twitter.

As regular readers know, we preview every series of the year, offering updates on the Cubs' opponent, lineups, expected pitchers, etc. We also include a feature euphemistically known as the Series She-View, in which – for totally not gratuitous reasons – we imagine each team represented by a beautiful woman. The opponents' reps change, but the Cubs' rep stays the same throughout the year.
For the 2009 and 2010 seasons, the representative was none other than supermodel Marisa Miller. She is hot, fun, and (probably) likes the Cubs. And so, she could remain the Cubs' representative for the 2011 season – but I'm going to let you decide that.
The purpose of this post is to toss out other possible representatives whom we might consider as the female embodiment of the Chicago Cubs in 2011. Once we've got a good group from whom to choose, I'll probably throw it out there for a vote – after all, you've all got to be looking at her just as much as I this year, so why not give you a say?
Throw out your suggestions in the comments. Some guidelines:
(1) Don't be a pervert, and don't say anything skeevy. The concept alone is skeevy enough.
(2) She has to be sufficiently famous that I'll easily be able to find enough photos to fill a season's worth of Series Previews.
(3) It would be nice if she has some remote, plausible connection to the Chicago Cubs – it can be extremely tenuous.

Book Review on Six Easy Pieces; by Richard P. Feynman
By: Dustin J. Buchenroth
Richard Feynman presents the book Six Easy Pieces to an audience with elementary knowledge of physics and its laws. He illustrates concepts for the average individual by relating the concept to every day events in life. This book explains physics in six sections which include: atoms in motion; basic physics; the relation of physics to other sciences; conservation of energy; the theory of gravitation; and quantum behavior.
In the first section Feynman describes the basic atomic theory. He then proceeds to show pictorially what happens when water boils, water evaporates, and when air bubbles get trapped in air. Finally he discusses the known complexity of molecules especially those of organic matter.
Next we have the section entitled, basic physics. One of the main illustrations in this section is a picture looking at a beach with clouds in the background and the sun setting, and there is a person jogging. Feynman tries to discuss all of the physical things going on here. He relates physics as if it were a game of chess being played by the gods: If we don't know how to play, but we watch long enough we may learn some of the rules, however, we may never know why a certain move is made. If we look at a bishop on a red square and say this bishop will always be on a red square, and then sometime later in time we find that it is on a white square, we say, "how can that happen?" Well what actually happened was that bishop was captured and then a pawn was queened on a white square and turned into a bishop. This is somewhat how physics behaves because we may have a law that works very well for a long time and then we find that it doesn't and we have to analyze that situation and find out "if it was a pawn that was queened or not."
Also, in the basic physics section, Feynman discusses what physics was like before 1920. He goes on to give a small introduction to quantum physics and nuclei and particles. He discusses briefly the chart that is being produced with all of the elementary particles that we know of at the present time. This chart is being put together in the same sort of way as the periodic table was but together by Mendeleyev.
In the third section, the relation of physics to other sciences, it is just that. Physics is related to every type of science as we know it – everything from psychology to chemistry. This was a very interesting section to me because it made me realize that physics is connected to virtually everything.
Next is the topic of the conservation of energy. In this section Dr. Feynman shows very intuitively the law, and why it works. He uses the analogy of a kid with his 28 building blocks and that these building blocks are indestructible. Hence, the kid must always have 28 building blocks at any given time. If we lock him in a room with his blocks, then at the end of each day we could come in and count his blocks and we would get 28. Well, what if we came in one day and he had 27? What happened was the kid threw one of his blocks out the window. So, we give the block back and locked the window. The next day we come in and he has 30 blocks. Now, what happened was that his friend, who came over and visited, left two of his blocks behind. So, we give them back to his friend. Another day we come in and he is down to 25, but this time we noticed that the dirty bath water is at a slightly higher level than the day before (we can't see the blocks in the water we just deduce that there must be some in there, namely 3 of them). Thus we measure the water level when he has all 28 blocks and then again when he is missing some, and we see that 1 block in the water raises it so many centimeters and so forth. The point is that energy can take on different forms but as long as we know the equations of these different forms then they must always add up to a constant, namely 28 in our case.
The fifth section is on the theory of gravitation. Here, Feynman presents, first, the gravity force equation. Next he discusses Kepler's laws and illustrates orbit extremely well by means of thinking about a gun shooting a bullet. He also explains (and shows) that horizontal motion is entirely independent of vertical motion. Finally, Einstein's theory of gravity is introduced and briefly discusses why light is bent when it is close to big objects in the universe (i.e. the sun).
The final section is about quantum behavior. This section is wild. It discusses how things (i.e. particles) act and move on a microscopic level. Now, this subject can be relatively hard to understand because we do not have any experience with microscopic things. We see the macroscopic world and everything makes sense, but things do not act the same on the microscopic level. Feynman does and interesting experiment with bullets, waves, and then finally, electrons. This does a nice job of showing how these particles behave. The Heisenberg Uncertainty principle is related to this electron experiment and is discussed as to how it relates to everything in the universe.
All together, this book was really great. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys physics. I developed a very good understanding of basic physics concepts and have drawn questions of curiosity for more complicated concepts. Richard P. Feynman teaches this book on a relatively lower level to which most people can understand.

I could read this whole thing but I just don't give a flying fuck. Seriously if you can't bend at the waist and strap in you should probably just end your life now because you're so out of shape you're sucking up precious resources as it is.

I find it kind of funny someone would write up paragraphs on how to strap in. I would take longer if I had to remember a bunch of steps to take before strapping in.
The most important step is to make sure there is no snow/ice in the bindings, fuck snow in the bindings. I will pound the snowboard into the snow to loosen the binding ice by doing a few one footed ollies. Then I will brush the snow out with my glove. I also do the ollies so all the other snowboarders know I can ollie one footed. |

Your right about the thread. I have a tendency to make things too complicated, so I edited the original post. Now it just gets straight to the point and there are no steps or anything stupid.

I never put things on sale...This just isn't that kind of business. However, there come a time with every business that you just need to CLEAR THINGS OUT! Out with the old to make room for the new. Included in this clearance markdown are in-stock Crown cases (!!!) and some hair pieces. I may even decide to mark down some crown sets..we'll see how the mood strikes me... It's coming up on 1pm on 12/4/13 as I write this. I'll have case inventory/prices updated by tomorrow evening along with any other markdowns!

Up to this point, the 18" candles have always features narrower ribbon than the 20", 24", 31" and 36" candles. But I have noticed an increasing preference for fuller ribbons/bows...and it's silly not to have the same fully bow decor on the shorter candle. I'm working on updating all the pictures..it may take me some time. but I'll try and do one set a day. Today I'm updating the Lily Ivory. also, you'll be excited to hear that I'm also dropping the price a bit on all the candle sets. Between new suppliers, better efficiency in the new shop space, it's time to start letting the products reflect all the good changes.

The move into my work space went very smoothly, although it has taken me a while to get things set up while still making/shipping orders. But I'm almost done getting everything put away and am feeling really good about the move. In the coming weeks, my husband/webmaster is going to be adding some new functionality to the website..the menu is going to change around a bit, and I'll see about getting some pictures of the new work area posted. And now that I'm in my new space with TONS of workspace, be on the lookout for new crown and candle designs and new items (accessories) to start springing up left and right!

Wait a minute. Isn't this supposed to be Chicago, the U.S.
Murder Capital that outpaced New York and Los Angeles on homicides this year?
Don't major summer festivals in the park eventually break out in gang clashes
and gunfire as crowds disperse? Wasn't Grant Park the scene of the 1968
Democratic Convention riots?
This was no typical Grant Park gathering. More than 200,000
supporters of president-elect Barack Obama descended upon the park in orderly
fashion to watch CNN election returns on a JumboTron and ultimately, to hear
the 44th president-elect's historic acceptance speech. Though crowds were told
gates would not open until 8:30 p.m., the throng that enveloped me swept into
the park before 6 p.m. Reports said some were admitted as early as 3 p.m.
Tickets to a cordoned-off zone near the stage were free, but
hard to get. Illinois Obama supporters who reserved a ticket within minutes of
receiving an email invitation snagged the 65,000 spots. Many campaign donors
and dedicated volunteers who couldn't respond so fast were left out in the cold
outside the designated zone.
Online opportunists eager to part with their "plus one"
guest tickets had steep and innovative demands: One Craigslist poster demanded
a bidder renounce Christianity in exchange for a guest ticket; another
suggested $1,000 was a fair price for the guest ticket obtained for free; still
another offered a guest ticket to an Obama supporter willing to switch their
vote to Sen. John McCain -- and provide proof with a photo of their ballot. Many
more Craigslist postings sought a "hot chick" to accompany the ticketholder for
the historic evening.
When McCain's concession speech was broadcast on the screen,
the crowd quieted and his every word could be heard, start to finish. No whoops
or wisecracks could be heard from where I was standing. McCain paid respects to
Obama's grandmother, who helped raise him and passed away Nov. 2. That solemn
mood remained as Obama took the stage. Aside from repeating after Obama, "Yes
we can," at the scripted moments of his speech, the crowd listened raptly.
The egress at 11:30 p.m. was equally calm with a gentility
more fitting to the Civic Opera House a few blocks west, where Georges Bizet's
"Les Pêcheurs de Perles" had its closing night performance an hour earlier.
Even the Obamas' two little girls, Sasha and Malia were
rewarded for good behavior. "You have earned the new puppy that's coming with
us to the White House," their father told them from the stage backed up by Lake
About the only uncivilized component I could find the whole
evening: $40 for a medium Connie's pizza?
Pizza nothwithstanding, maybe change is ahead, as Obama
said, "This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for
us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things
I heard more cheers than I saw tears during the evening - at
least until the end. The tears streaming down the plump cheeks of the young
woman next to me triggered the "Lens cap off! Now!" impulse. But I resisted the
chance to capture the moment. She looked so peaceful and happy that I couldn't

Algore, feet firmly planted on foreign soil, reminded the public again why his party is not in control. One positive note is that he promised to never again waste our time with a campaign for the White House. But then he fell back into daydreaming of what coulda been if he had won the 2000 election.
So let's examine the meathead's diatribe.
"We would not have invaded a country that didn't attack us"
"We would not have taken money from the working families and given it to the most wealthy families."
Bush didn't either. But we're going to talk about "taking money from the working families", let's talk about the 1993 tax hike.
"We would not be trying to control and intimidate the news media."
After half a century of doing so, why would we think it would've changed?
"We would not be routinely torturing people"
Really? Because it was the during the Clinton administration that the practice known as "extraordinary rendition" (aka "torture by proxy"), whereby criminal suspects are sent to countries in which torture is routinely used in interrogation, was codified.
"We would be a different country"
Yeah, we'd probably be lacking 10 major cities, have higher taxes and be living with an Iraq that had developed, deployed and used weapons of mass destruction.

Nasa Confirms Chile Earthquake Moved Earth's Axis And Shortened Days on Earth...Not Much Time For Sox To Win Another World Series
The movie 2012 is starting to look a lot more like a documentary than a summer action flick.
According to Yahoo.com,
The massive 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile may have changed the entire Earth's rotation and shortened the length of days on our planet, a NASA scientist said Monday. It [the earthquake in Chile] also moved Earth's figure axis by about 3 inches.
Um...why isn't this breaking news on CNN or Fox? Maybe they don't want to give a free plug for the movie 2012.
Anyway, so the end of the world will happen on either December 21st or 22nd 2012.
Do the Red Sox have enough time to win one more World Series?
Lord knows Mike Cameron, Adrian Beltre and Marco Scutaro wont lead the Sox to the promised land this year.
Fast forward to 2011. Lets assume Jed Lowrie is playing SS, Ryan Westmoreland is finally playing center field, Paplebon is gone and Bard is the closer.
Well, the Sox will be a step closer but I dont see them being legitimate World Series contenders in 2011.
Fast forward to 2012. Theo knows that the world is going to end in December of that year, but is still so attached to his prospects that he wont deal them for a big bat.
He tells Red Sox Nation that no team will give him real value for his prospects...and decides to take his chances with them. The Sox dont win the World Series in 2012 either.
The day after the 2012 season ends, Red Sox Nation demands that Theo get fired, even though there wont be a next season. They want a real GM to step in and start wheeling and dealing. They want someone who isnt trigger shy like Theo....even if there wont be a 2013 season.
Then the sun sets on December 21, 2012 and all those people who said "The Sox won in 2004, now I can die in peace" will actually die pissed off.
The end.

Marketing Strategies For Bands & Muscians
You might have a band that could be the biggest in the world but no one other than the neighbours know you exist and that's only because they keep wondering what the racket is. So how do you get yourself in the public eye?
You could, of course, consider the not very rock 'n roll concept of a marketing strategy for your band. Modern music is no longer about record company executives with large cars and unlimited budgets.
Do It Yourself
Employ a DIY marketing strategy to attract attention and promote the band's name and you might discover that elusive record deal is not as essential for success as it once was. The aim of marketing is to get noticed and the internet has given everyone a platform with which to do it. And it works, as both Lily Allen and Lady GaGa benefitted enormously from their initial internet exposure while they tried to make a name for themselves.
The first step is to set up a website for the band. On the site, include biographies of the band, a player or video insert with a couple of your songs on, a date sheet and a blog about the band and its activities. Try to make the site look and sound as professional as possible. You could even consider getting photographs done professionally, though a lot of live-music photographers are enthusiasts and often willing to let you use their shots for a name credit on your site.
Use your website's URL as a link on social-media sites when setting up band pages on Facebook, My Space, YouTube or Twitter so that any visitor to any social-media page can always find your main site. Set up an email list so you can send out dates and news to people who have expressed an interest, whether online or at gigs.
Promotions and Merchandise
Reference the site on all your hard-copy promotions, in interviews in papers and on adverts, posters, t-shirts, flyers and wristbands. Generally, especially if you're starting out, your main fan base won't yet be the countless millions on the web but the ones closer to home that come to your gigs, enjoy your music and buy your merchandise. Make sure all your merchandise is of good quality and value for money. No one likes feeling they've been ripped off at a merchandise stand. Most of all, though, play live a lot and play well and other people will do your marketing for you by word of mouth.

Jackson Memorial Apparently Only Hospital in the South That Cares About Gay People
Categories: Rainbow Connection
That's assuming you don't consider D.C, and Maryland part of the South, and you do consider Miami an actual part of it.
The results were tabulated from a voluntary survey, and more than 315 facilities in 29 states responded to the questionnaire. The hospital were asked whether or not they met the following criteria:
1a Patients' Bill of Rights and/or non-discrimination policy includes "sexual orientation"Jackson Health Systems got perfect marks, and was awarded a shiny, new "Leader in LGBT Healthcare Equality" accolade. It is one of only 27 facilities in America to pick up the award.
1b Patients' Bill of Rights and/or non-discrimination policy includes "gender identity or expression" or "gender identity"
2a Explicitly inclusive visitation policy grants same-sex couples equal visitation access as different-sex couples and next of kin
2b Explicitly inclusive visitation policy grants same-sex parents equal visitation access as different-sex parents for their minor children
3 Provide cultural competency training addressing healthcare issues relevant to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community
4a Equal employment opportunity policy includes "sexual orientation"
4b Equal employment opportunity policy includes "gender identity or expression" or "gender identity
The distinction is an important turn around for Jackson. Back in 2008 the system made headlines when a woman collapsed during a Miami vacation and the hospital barred her female partner and children from seeing her. The woman died alone.
Broward's Memorial Healthcare System also responded to the survey, but don't have protections for gender identity for either patients or employees and does not provide cultural competency training.

X Factor winner Joe McElderry has described his debut album as "a bit of a shocker" and said that it will surprise fans of his music.
Speaking to stv.tv during his time in Glasgow for the girlie weekend Glam in the City, Joe revealed that he's going for a completely new sound from his time on The X Factor.
"It's all top secret, but I think it's going to surprise people, I think there's a few things that people might not expect," Joe explained. "I'm very excited about it, so I just hope that everybody else is as well and hopefully they'll all enjoy it."
He added: "I don't want to give too much away, but I think there's going to be some different elements and it's definitely going to be a bit of a shocker."
Joe's had a busy few months since winning The X Factor in December last year, mentored in the singing contest by none other than stunning fellow Geordie, Cheryl Cole.
Along with performing at events including Glam in the City and Radio 1's Big Weekend, Joe has also been furiously working on material for his first solo album, which he plans to release in October.
He also has hopes for a big arena tour – and said that if it goes ahead, Glasgow will be one of the areas he will definitely be playing in."Hopefully after the album I'll get to tour and I'm just really excited about the next year ahead," Joe said.
"Glasgow was one of the best crowds on the tour, so loud, and yes it'll definitely be a port of call."
Keep checking back on stv.tv for more from our interview with Joe McElderry, during which he reveals all about his time on X Factor and what he really thinks of Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole.

Remembering two killed by a drunk driver
SUNBURY – The American Legion Riders are doing what they can to remember a father and son killed by a drunk driver in July of 2012 on the Veteran's Memorial Bridge. The 2nd annual Kirk and Mayson Mahaffey Memorial Ride is Saturday at 10 a.m. starting at the American Legion in Sunbury.
Rose Heller is Kirk's mother and said, "I am truly blessed by the outpouring support from my family, friends and the community. There are no words to express how honored I feel knowing there are so many people who are willing to support this event and help keep my boy's memory alive and make memories for these special children."
The memorial ride will support a non-profit organization called Magical Memories, which strives to help children who are suffering from terminal illnesses and disabilities.
Heller said, "My life has tremendously changed and my heart is forever broken. I hope everyone lives life to the fullest because you never know what tomorrow will bring. I am living my life as best as I can but will do everything to honor my boys whose lives were taken in the blink of an eye."
Heller says she remembers Kirk as a young determined man who loved life and had a heart of gold and would do whatever he could to make a person laugh. She said he did everything for his son Mayson and was an amazing father. She says Mayson was always full of energy, could make anyone smile."
Registration for the ride is at 10 a.m. and the ride begins at noon. Call 286-0431 for more information.

Along with Playboy and Hustler, Penthouse magazine was part of the unholy trinity of pornographic publications that broke through 50s and early-60s conservatism to help usher in (or take advantage of, depending on who you ask) the sexual revolution. Now, some 43 years after its debut, Penthouse is a multimedia beast with fingers in all kinds of pies. Penthouse's online base offers some exclusive and some reprinted content from throughout the mag's lauded history, and now even offers High Definition 3D hardcore movies that must be seen to be believed.
You probably had a favorite kind of candy and it's probably a taste you remember poorly but, in the right circumstances and with the right company, an experience you'll never forget. Candy Girl Video aims to make your now candy shunning health-conscious adult self drool as you lustily gaze at some incredible young ladies. Whether posing in skimpy outfits, spreading their pussies wide open, urinating, ejaculating, or just plain enjoying some "alone time," Candy Girl Video's Candy Girls are a treat worth braving a tooth ache for.
Only a total luddite naysayer would ignore the increasing popularity of 3D video and the pornographic possibilities it presents. And only a luddite naysayer wouldn't bother to check out 3DX Star for some fascinating, titillating hardcore porn that breaks free from the 2D standard to throw itself in your face. Unfortunately, 3DX Star is far from accomplished and needs some serious work - as well as a serious influx of content - in order to truly satisfy.
The recent wave of blockbuster 3D movies sent a clear message to porn producers the world over: build it and they will cum. Deep Throats 3D makes a bold attempt to be the only European hardcore site to provide both 2D and 3D deep-throating movies, but that doesn't necessarily mean it does a good job of it. It's a tough business, porn, and throwing hastily produced, uninspired 3D videos at a demanding audience isn't going to win Deep Throats 3D any prizes, just a few frustrated ex-members.
Diving into 3D pornography can be an intimidating experience. You might need some new computer gear, maybe a TV, and definitely some wacky glasses, but is all the effort and expense worth it? The folks at Deep Stars 3D sure seem to think so! Offering an exclusive collection of European hardcore rendered in both 2D and 3D videos, all of them at HD resolutions, Deep Stars 3D sure seems promising. Then again, so did another Batman movie.
In all reality, Mr. Pink can't just pack up and head off to visit Prague for the weekend without some serious moolah and a shitload of planning and, since I've heard Europe's most stunningly sensual women are Czech, I should be pretty miffed, right? Well, I'm gonna quit my bellyaching and throw on some 3D glasses, buddy, 'cause 3D Prague Girls takes us on a powerful erotic journey through the Czech capital with a handful of the most gorgeous naked women ever to step out of that tired old 2D format and enter the anaglyphic, Real 3D-enabled realm known as the third dimension.

Catwalk is a great class that shows you how to present yourself in a Runway show. Demonstrating not only what's expected of you while modelling on stage but also what goes on back stage.
The most important thing about doing Catwalk modelling is to look confident. We can advise you on techniques for this as well as all the different styles of walking.
Interpretation is really important because all shows are different and as a model it is extremely important to be able to interpret what the client is looking for, whether it be for a High Street store, Bridal ,or a High Fashion Couture show. All of which will require a different approach. At Runway Modelling we can teach you this.

@pastanaga - Well, you might get a "one size fits all" cast iron heat diffuser and solve all your heat diffusion needs in one go. You don't need a heat diffuser that is going to fit snugly on every pot, and if you get one in cast iron it will last forever.
That way you get to keep your options open when it comes to buying pots and pans in general. And you get to choose when you use them with the heat diffuser.
It can slow down the process of cooking quite a lot if you do actually want something at a rapid boil. So, buying a pan with a built in diffuser means that pan can only ever be used for a certain kind of cooking, which is a bit limiting.

According to the Wine Advocate: "The 2007 TINTO (just labeled 'Crasto' because some of the fruit comes from Crastos vineyards outside of the official Quinta do Crasto) is a blend of Tinta Roriz (35%), Tinta Barroca (25%), Touriga Franca (25%) and Touriga Nacional (15%). It is charming and pleasing, but rather light and compact, likely to be refreshing, but early maturing. This is fun, but it has a certain straightforward simplicity to it. Drink now-2014." (Dec 08)

Andrew at the Highlander MM
Maroc member, Andrew McMurtrie, and mountain marathon friend, Caroline Watt, finished a respectable 8th place (and 1st mixed team) in the B-class of the Highlander Mountain Marathon at the weekend, covering over 50km and over 3,000m of ascent. The event was centred in Kinlochewe, nestled under the mighty Slioch and the Torridon mountains, so the scenery whilst running was amazing with the routes taking competitors into areas most hillwalkers don't normally venture.
The Highlander is the most intimate of all the regular mountain marathons and usually has some form of interesting transport thrown in – this year it was a fast boat ride across Loch Maree at the end of the first day to the campsite. The friendliness of the event is epitomised on the Saturday evening with a ceilidh in a marque, and although beer and wine are served most competitors are too tired to drink much. The dancing is certainly a good warm down from the days exploits and it was the bumpiest, roughest dance floor ever experienced.
The BBC2 Scotland programme The Adventure Show were on location during the weekend and Andrew & Caroline were caught on camera more than once but we will need to wait until the next series of the programme to see if they made the cut.

We only use "3_1" in CVS tags because CVS can't handle '.' characters in tags. When we switch to subversion, that may no longer be an issue, and the tag/branch names might be able to use "real" version numbers.

CW12 Directory ResourceArticle Details
Explore New Opportunities And Get A Job Fast |
Category: Entertainment |
Let us take a look at the definition for entry level in the dictionary first!From the free dictionary,we are getting the following:
1. (Company / Business oriented Associations & Human resources Terms) (of the job or employee) at the most elementary levels in the job system2. (Company / Commerce) (of a product) characterized by being at essentially the most suitable level to be used by a beginner an entry-level camera
As elementary as both definitions may sound,they can be confused by many people!The first main step to do after you get hired for that particular job chosen is to learn the basic things,associated with the present work field you're in and taking this under consideration more often than not,you are demanded to get a pre-qualification certificate or get initial training from the 'old' employees in the company!
An entry level it job is definately a work,that will not require prior experience in the field or profession and is normally developed or selected for new graduates of one's given discipline. These may require some on-site training.A big number of the entry level jobs are part-time,but they also don't have the employee benefits,the usual staff member might have.Recent graduates from school or faculty usually take entry-level positions.
It is very likely,that you've worked for someone in the past during your teenage years - we can call this your first entry level job!The funny thing about this is the fact,even if you had used this type of job for an extra source to get some cash,many adult persons are doing the very same things right now,so this is the main reason why i admire just about every job,as there are no ''fake'' jobs to call it in the end...
So let's get to the bottom part of the topic!
Entry-level jobs targeted at university graduates often offer a greater salary in comparison with those focused at senior high school graduates.The positions for the college graduates require specific skills.So to say,entry level jobs could be offered both as a part or full-time positions and there can also be in many cases intensive and extensive courses available.Although entry level job positions generally do not require a particular unique experience,that's changing because of the high amount of college graduates today.
For the year 2012 and 2013,a number of entry level job positions could be online where you can find the average earnings,added benefits and prerequisites.
Before heading in to another important step,i'd like to talk about that there are numerous websites online for looking the right entry level it jobs as well as i will mention several below,but it is usually great to check other specifically made websites for this purpose as mine below!
But first,let's lay out the largest websites online:
Although,visiting the above talked about websites give a great opportunity for finding a new entry level it jobs,as mentioned earlier visiting other websites is definitely a plus!
Let's talk about the important skills you ought to posses!
1.To begin with,having a college degree is always a Huge benefit,but taking in mind your specific area of professional selection for a career,for more technical,i.e computer savvy jobs that the employers are generally looking at what you are capable of and obviously do not care about your marks in school or college!
2.And here are each of the basic qualifications a person must posses if he/she wants to attend an entry level it job:
-ability to understand new things fast
-be creative in what he does
-smart and ''never quit type'' of person
-hard working and so on ...
3.Points 1 and 2 are sufficient ensure you are on the direction to financial freedom and security,so work hard and never give up!That's the key to success!
For more information,please visit my website about entry level it jobs!

A police spokesman said: "Emergency services were alerted by a dog walker and on attendance the fire service found the ramp underneath the bin had been substantially damaged."
Anyone with an information is asked to call PC 187 Green at Halesworth on 101.

Let me ask this to everyone: If ranked comes out, it's no holds barred, right? It's funny that I ask, but I feel that the community is awesome and I'm a part of it even if I don't play the tourney or post a ton. I try to weave in and out of playing OP champs to try and learn them, but go through cycles out of respect to everyone and of course for fun.
In ranked there are bans, so in all due respect Jayce, Kass, and Lulu are probably never going to see the light of day. In the event that someone doesn't ban them, you are either in for a) a dodge, b) a quick win, or c) a grueling loss because you are at the level where people don't know what's OP.
I got a genius idea: Try him out! Maybe he's not quite so OP as you might think. Jayce is very strong in dominion and one of my favorite champs due to his versatility and fun kit. But its not like all the other champs suck. I would contend that Jax is also kind of good in dominion, as is Poppy, Yorick, KZ, Kassadin and quite a few others. I am pretty sure people aren't arbitrarily limiting their use of those champs in the sake of 'fairness'. Is anyone really saying that Jayce is SIGNIFICANTLY better than Jax, Kass, Yorick?
Honestly, I will take a competent Jayce on my team over all of those, even over Kassadin. Even a great Kassadin is still weakening your early/mid game by picking it. A great Jayce is devastating in practically every bot lane match up, and gives your team utility/poke/burst in one neat package while becoming a hyper carry late game. Last time I've seen a properly built one shut down was with a combination of Kha'Zix/Rammus trucking his face all game long (and that's with his team being weak enough to let us permanently commit 2 vs 1 with no consequence, because good lord he still did absurd damage while going down).
I much prefer playing the under-powered champs rather than the overpowered ones just because if you do good with an OP champ, nobody thinks your anything special cause a trained monkey can do well with Jayce, Darius, etc. And if you do poorly then you really feel embarrassed cause honestly, how bad do you gotta be to fail with Darius? But it's the opposite when you play an UP champ. You do well and the other players will be generally impressed while if you do poorly then they blame it as much on the champ as on the player.
I know what you mean. I read every patch notes hoping for Yorric nerfs so that I can play him without feeling guilty. One day...
He'll likely get smacked with the nerf bat, and you can safely play him without people *****ing at you like I do Zyra now
