Smash MouthSmash Mouth, an American rock band formed in 1994, has a retro style that has kept them relevant to many generations. They have been a house-hold name since their hit song "Walking on the Sun" and their cover of The Monkees' "I'm a Believer." Along with other chart-topping singles like "All Star," Smash Mouth has continued to leave their footprint in the ever-changing genre of alternative rock. Sugar RaySugar Ray first gained national notoriety with their hit single "Fly" in 1997 and have been a major name in the pop/funk-metal scene ever since. The California based band is composed of 4 members and is led by lead singer Mark McGrath. The band has released 6 studio albums in total, "Music for Cougars" being the most recent in 2009.

Drift Away with Uncle Kracker (Matthew Shafer), an American alternative-rock musician who is best known for his hit singles "Follow Me," "Smile," and "Drift Away." Moving away from his early days of rap-rock, Kracker has transitioned into a more country-based sound which truly exhibits his unique vocals.

Does this guy hate the modern era? Not agreeing with his rankings in the slightest
If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.
I think one thing to remember about these top lists as they are supposed to gauge career body of work, not just talent. Which is why Kobe should be ahead of Lebron at this point. Not saying it will end that way when their careers are up. Also I thought Shaq was too low on that list. Oscar as usual is way too high, he is not a top 10 player.

There are a lot of lists that I disagree with but can at least understand. This list is just a joke.
Allow me to be the 5th or so person to say... no.
Yup. Malone was grossly overrated here. Which is ironic because he's usually underrated. When he retired he was the GOAT PF and now people routinely rank him around 4th or 5th.
I was hoping this was going to be the last post of the thread but as usual no matter whose terrible list is posted, everybody starts recycling the same debates. I'm not complaining... I'm just saying.

Treat for delegates
Taiwan has expanded its Meet Taiwan Card campaign and plans to issue 6,000 to 7,000 cards to delegates at international conferences until November 15.
The card will provide services and discounts near the conference halls for shopping, dining, lodging, transport, entertainment and free Wi-fi for 24 hours. Taiwan's MICE Project Office expects the cards to generate NT$1 billion (HK$266.1 million) in income.
MICE Project Office statistics suggest the average daily spending of foreign MICE visitors is NT$6,920, with the average duration of conventions and exhibitions being 3.3 days. Accommodation accounts for 42 per cent of the expenditure of visitors, followed by shopping (34), restaurants (11), transport (7) and recreation (3).

1. Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Version Information
Related bugreports: #308043
Insecure permission handling in maildrop might allow local attackers to elevate their privileges.
2. Impact Information
maildrop is the mail filter/mail delivery agent that is used by the Courier Mail Server.
Christoph Anton Mitterer reported that maildrop does not properly drop its privileges when run as root.
A local attacker could create a specially crafted .mailfilter file, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary commands with the "root" group privileges. NOTE: Successful exploitation requires that maildrop is run as root with the -d option.
3. Resolution Information
There is no known workaround at this time.
All maildrop users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.1: Resolution
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-filter/maildrop-2.4.2"

Arquette wins Oscar for supporting actress | ||||||||||||||||||||||
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Patricia Arquette advocated for wage equality after accepting the Oscar for best supporting actress in "Boyhood" during an emotional outburst at the end of her carefully scripted speech Sunday. The 46-year-old actress played the mother of Ellar Coltrane's Mason in Richard Linklater's sweeping look at a boy's life, filmed over 12 years. Presenter Jared Leto wiped red lipstick, bestowed in a kiss from fellow nominee Emma Stone, from Arquette's face before she unfolded a piece of paper. Despite donning glasses, she held the paper at arm's length and thanked a litany of family, co-stars and nominees, and plugged an online organization she supports. Arquette wrapped up by saying, "To every woman who gave birth, to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation. We have fought for everybody else's equal rights. It's our time to have wage equality once for all. And equal rights for women in the United States of America." Fellow nominee Meryl Streep rose to her feet and pointed at Arquette, shouting, "Yes! Yes!" from the audience. Backstage, Arquette again spoke passionately about women deserving equal pay. "People think we have equal rights," she said. "We won't until we pass an equal rights amendment. "It is time for women. Equal means equal. The truth is the older women get the less money they make." Valerie Jarrett, adviser to President Barack Obama, cheered Arquette on Twitter. "Thx for using your speech to advocate for (hash)EqualPay and for understanding that when women succeed, America succeeds," Jarrett wrote. Filmmaker Michael Moore tweeted Arquette is "a brilliant citizen." Others cheering Arquette on Twitter included former Oscar winner Marlee Matlin, Maria Shriver and actresses Audra McDonald and Rita Wilson. Arquette said she shunned having a manicure earlier in the day for "that dreaded mani-cam," so she could instead focus on doing work for her online organization. Arquette said she's helped thousands of people and she vowed, "I will help millions of people." Arquette became the first member of her acting family to win an Academy Award. She had already claimed trophies from the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild, Independent Spirit Awards and BAFTA for her role. Her father Lewis Arquette was an actor, her grandfather Cliff Arquette was a comedian, and her siblings, including sister Rosanna, have worked in show business. Arquette's next project is a return to the small screen. She stars in the new series "CSI: Cyber," debuting in March on CBS. Also nominated were Laura Dern in "Wild"; Keira Knightley in "The Imitation Game"; Stone in "Birdman"; and Streep for "Into the Woods." --- AP National Writer Jocelyn Noveck contributed to this report. © 2015 The Associated Press.

+ - Yet Another Tor Router on Kickstarter
This project was briefly mentioned pre-launch by Andy Greenberg on Wired. Question is, now that it has launched, if it stands up to the scrutiny of the general public."
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Well, the major difference between Julian Assange and Snowden is that the latter did not seem to have any hidden agenda whatsoever, he just felt morally obliged to inform the world of illegal government actions. Julian Assange however could have left that embassy any time for the past 2 years. Just walk out, go to Heathrow, fly to Sweden and face a jury of his peers like everybody else in the civilized world who is accused of a crime.
Personally I think TP-Link's routers are unbeatable comparing features/price. They have a range of dirt cheap routers with gigabit switches and USB ports all running OpenWrt perfectly. The good old WR1043ND has gotten a facelift (+ more memory and flash) and the N600/N700 (WDR3600/WDR4300) are quite powerful. A stripped down OpenWrt takes around 4 MB flash and all these models have 8 MB, so plenty of space for added functionality.
Mine is bigger than yours.
I installed whatsapp 2-3 years back because one of my friends was using it (and I guess that's why most people install it). I seem to remember vaguely that at the time they mentioned that I would be asked to pay after a year, but I most certainly never did pay anything and I think it is still working (still only use it for that one friend). Would I pay? Absolutely positively not. Whatsapp doesn't add anything at all to what I've had for free since forever using icq, msn, yahoo chat, jabber etc. There are other - also free - services that add much more functionality - Skype, Viber and even Hangouts (that was great until Google butchered it). So, I'll probably leave Whatsapp on my phone as long as they don't annoy me, but the moment they do or the moment they ask me to pay anything it will go and I will venture a guess that 90 % of their 450 million user base is like that.
It is entirely possible to run an Android phone without any use of Google whatsoever.
I was facing the same problem as you are, and I would have gotten myself an N9 if Nokia hadn't announced that they would ditch Meego completely. That day I decided I was done with Nokia for good and I was forced to find a viable alternative.
To me it was Android on a Galaxy S2, but - and this is important - one built entirely from source. Granted - there are still things I miss from my N900 (the keyboard mostly), but a rooted Android device comes close these days.
Personally I would look for any Android device that is well supported by Cyanogenmod (Nexus for example), ditch the stock firmware immediately and go straight for a Cyanogenmod 11. There are things you will be missing from the N900, but there are also a lot of stuff that was never possible on the N900 which will now work fine.
That with enough Vodka you won't mind the snow?
I am not sure it's wise to admit that in public these days. Someone might assume you've had a hidden agenda for obtaining launch codes.
I just loved this part of the original article:
"But Jen says she was not always so defiant. After receiving the threat she says she was terrified. She contacted Ripoffreport.com to ask that the post be removed but Ripoffreport.com won't let her without paying $2000 she says."
Someone hurry up and write a ripoff report at rippoffreport.com!
I'd be happy to plug my netbook / phone / multimedia device into this unknown thumb drive. Why not? I've got Linux.
Back in 2005 some car thieves in Malaysia tried to steal a Merc S Class with some kind of biometric immobilizer. When they realized they couldn't get the darn thing running without a finger print, they merely chopped the owner's finger off with a machete (I swear it's true: BBC Article).
I wonder who will be the first to lose an iPhone along with a finger.
Android (Jellybean) is at least partly running on the N9. Last time I checked, they hadn't managed to get calls going - but 3G data was working.
And this is a surprise or news worthy why? This application:
Has been in Google's Play store forever. That strongly indicates that the key's are not stored encrypted (or with a very simple encryption) and that Android "secure" them by not giving normal applications access (the app require root to function).
Well, perhaps the problem is that the Windows security model is too advanced? I have yet to meet a Windows administrator that really understood those models, while I am fairly certain that any UNIX/Linux admin understand the OS security models in-depth.

POSTED: Friday, July 25, 2014 - 4:59pm
UPDATED: Monday, July 28, 2014 - 11:30am
Mt. Pleasant, Texas (KETK) — A tripped burglary alarm at a Mt. Pleasant home led police to the arrests of a wanted sex offender and another man.
On Friday at 3:19 a.m., officers responded to a residential burglary alarm in the 500 block of Redfearn Ct. As patrol officers approached the scene, they noticed a suspicious vehicle driving in the area. A traffic stop was made off Greenhill Rd on County Road 1612, however, when the vehicle stopped, the driver ran.
Officers took two passengers into custody from the vehicle while a ground search was launched. During the investigation, police found items in the vehicle, which authorities determined have been reported stolen in Bay City and Longview.
Officers also found several forms of identification, including driver licenses, social security cards, and other government issued documents not belonging to any passengers.
Some of the stolen goods were found in the possession of the suspects. They were traced to a vehicle burglary at a house on County Road 1612 in Titus County. Detectives also learned the driver of the vehicle may either be in possession of or had thrown out a handgun from the moving vehicle before he ran. The handgun was later linked to a vehicle burglary in the 500 block of Greenhill Park.
Although the suspect who ran was not located during the search, officers were able to identify him as Quwanah Simmons, 21, of Lone Star. The passengers were Bobby Joe Haynes, 21, of Lone Star, and a 16-year-old male juvenile from Lone Star. They were all arrested at the scene.
Simmons was found late in the afternoon at a house on Alamo Street in Lone Star. The suspect was arrested with the assistance of Lone Star PD and booked into the Morris County Jail for a Bowie County arrest warrant for failure to register as a sex offender.
Officers later located the stolen gun after a lengthy search of the suspect vehicle's path. The gun and stolen goods were returned to the owner on County Road 1612. Additional charges related to Mount Pleasant and Titus County offenses are pending warrants being issued.
Haynes was booked into the Titus County Jail for: theft of property, fraudulent possession of identifying information, unlawful use of criminal instruments, burglary of a vehicle, and theft of a firearm. The 16-year-old Juvenile was also charged with the same offenses as Haynes and taken to the Gregg County Juvenile Detention Center in Longview.

There is nothing more important than being safe. Right now sex offenders are everywhere and we can never predict what will happen to us . I found a safety application on android phone that helps me track sex offenders on my phone, and just a click on a panic button and it could automatically create a conference call to a 24/7 call center, a safety network and could escalate a call to a nearest 911 if it's a real emergency, check this site out for more information http://safekidzone.com/#!/page_h

Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. Announces Results Of Second Quarter 2012
This version corrects a typographical error from the previous earnings announcement.
The corrected release reads:
Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: IMH) formerly (NYSE Amex: IMH), a Maryland corporation, along with its subsidiaries and affiliates, or "IMH" or the "Company," continued to expand its mortgage lending business, through its indirect subsidiary, Excel Mortgage Servicing, Inc. (Excel). In the second quarter of 2012, Excel increased its residential mortgage originations volumes 46% to $531.9 million as compared to $365.0 million in the first quarter of 2012 and by 135% as compared to $226.3 million for the second quarter of 2011. Sales of mortgage loans increased 33% to $474.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to $355.7 million in the first quarter of 2012 and increased by 128% over the sales of $208.4 million in the second quarter of 2011.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company's consolidated net earnings were $4.2 million, or $0.51 per diluted common share, as compared to consolidated net earnings of $361 thousand or $0.04 per diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to the increase in profitability of the mortgage lending business which improved by $7.3 million with net earnings of $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to a net loss of $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2011. The Company's consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 improved slightly to a consolidated net loss of $(578) thousand, or $(0.07) per diluted common share, as compared to a consolidated net loss of $(626) thousand or $(0.08) per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2011. During the second quarter, the mortgage servicing portfolio of Excel Mortgage Servicing, Inc. and its subsidiary increased $196.2 million to $1.1 billion in unpaid principal balance at June 30, 2012 as compared to $891.7 million in unpaid principal balance at March 31, 2012 and increased $482.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $605.4 million at December 31, 2011. The increase in the service retained mortgage servicing portfolio resulted in the $3.0 million increase in mortgage servicing rights to $7.1 million at June 30, 2012 as compared to $4.1 million at December 31, 2011. Excel expects to continue building its mortgage servicing portfolio as management believes a servicing portfolio of agency loans during a period of low interest rates and high credit quality focus is a good investment for the Company. Therefore, Excel is expected to continue to increase its servicing portfolio, but it will also selectively sell servicing on a flow and bulk basis, as we recently sold $143 million in unpaid principal balance in a bulk sale in July 2012, to keep the amount of capital invested in servicing at acceptable levels to preserve capital needed for further growth. As Excel continues to expand the mortgage lending platform, production volumes, and servicing portfolio, at some point its growth may be limited by available capital.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

White Papers
"Collaborate-Breakthrough-Profit:" A Myth, Minefield or Treasure Chest?
The objective of this paper is to provide an outlook on emerging Collaborative Production Management (CPM) tools. It will discuss these CPM tools in relation to material transfers (ingredient addition) in Batch manufacturing. Illustrating what collaborative initiatives these tools are likely to support, why they are required and how they may be deployed. The concept of collaborating is an old concept, but Collaborative Production Management, and the notion of CPM tools is a relatively new manufacturing trend. One that has been revitalized by the internet and the advent of more open manufacturing systems. Today global measurement and control suppliers find they are being pushed hard by manufacturers to increase their development momentum in this emerging area of collaborative production management tools.
06/23/20081 Gigabit Industrial Ethernet Field Network Delivers Determinism and Accommodates 10/100/1000 Mb TCP/IP Field Devices
The continuing drive to improve productivity will encourage more automation networking. The driving factors behind this expected growth include lean working, increased traceability legislation, product lifecycle management production (PLM), and improvements in manufacturing cycle times. This requires connecting the factory floor to the corporate offices where enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems make information available backwards into the supply chain, as well as forward to customers. Simply put, everyone wants to see what's happening. As a result, networks and the information they handle are becoming as important as the industrial control functions they manage.
This white paper describes the open CC-Link IE Field network, an Industrial Ethernet technology, which operates at 1 Gigabit/sec. This data rate is 10 times faster than other Industrial Ethernet technologies in order to provide highly responsive control system communications, while at the same time allowing connection to field devices (RFID readers, vision systems, etc.) that have TCP/IP Ethernet ports communicating at slower 10Mb or 100Mb data rates.

21CFR11 took effect in August 1997 with little observed regulatory activity. However, that has changed and increasing numbers of FDA warning letters are being generated for software used for GMP, GCP, or GLP (GxP) purposes. This presentation addresses the impact of 21CFR11 on automated manufacturing systems and processes. Included is an overview of 21CFR11, a discussion of the processes needed to reach compliance including 21CFR11 interpretation, assessment and remediation activities, and some issues for legacy automated manufacturing systems. It will speak to the compliance issues for hybrid systems where there is a multiplicity of options between totally paper based and totally electronic systems.

10/12/2007A Beginner's Guide to Optimizing Combustion of Fuels
This guide discusses how best to optimize combustion efficiency in any application using combustion plant.
Combustion optimization in some form or other has become an absolute necessity for all combustion processes. Optimization improves efficiency, reduces environmental impact, reduces maintenance requirements and increases the time between maintenance shutdowns. There are many types of application where combustion optimization will be a key requirement. These include:
- Process heaters - the driver here is to increase throughput of feedstock, not necessarily fuel efficiency
- Waste incinerators - waste throughput is the main driver but environmental impact also has to be considered
- Steam raising, for power generation or other processes, pulp and paper, food and beverage etc, where fuel efficiency is the main driverIn any of the above examples, poor control of the combustion process may ultimately lead to damage to the plant, with problems such as soot formation, hotspots and/or corrosion in the flue ducts, to name but a few. In each case, the incidence of such problems, especially if left unresolved, will result in increased maintenance expenditure and a reduction in the life cycle of the plant.
03/01/2011A Better Understanding of Power Over Ethernet for Industrial Ethernet Applications
In the whitepaper, Ethernet Direct describes how PoE technology enables the end devices like Wireless Access Point, IP Phone, IP Camera, IP Access Control terminal, RFID reader and other IP-based appliances to get power supply from a Cat-3, Cat-5/5e or Cat-6 LAN cable without extra power connection needed.
07/27/2009A Blueprint for the Real Time Enterprise
Manufacturing and production processes have had to be controlled and managed in real time from inception because they change in real time frames. This has been a natural premise of industrial systems from the very beginning.
A major shift in the business of manufacturing has occurred over the past decade which is driving the dynamics of the business of production and manufacturing into the real time domain. Business variables, such as energy prices, feedstock prices and even product prices have rapidly transitioned from highly transactional time frames into real time frames. For example, a decade ago it was not unusual for an industrial plant to establish a contract with its energy supplier that essentially set the price over an extended time period, of often 6 months or even a year. Today, in most parts of the world, long term fixed price energy contracts are not being offered and the price of energy can change multiple times in a day. The implications of this transition are clear. Industrial business functions must operate in real time to be effective and efficient. Industrial companies that do not move to real time business operations will be at a severe disadvantage in their marketplace.

09/22/2006A DuPont Batch Automation Project Experience
When presented with the problem of having to increase capacity 25% for a $100M/yr DuPont fluorochemical business, the solution was to fully automate the bottleneck of its supply chain, a batch process. Although the process already had a DCS, it was not nearly used to the potential it could be if additional instrumentation and automation software were installed. The journey taken to complete this solution taught us a lot about how to properly run a batch automation project. Upon completion of the project, we were presented another challenge. DuPonts largest competitor withdrew from the market dramatically increasing product demand. With no additional capital, we were able to further increase capacity another 40%.

Everything for everybody, paid for by everybody else!
Make someone else pay for my benefits!
Liberté, égalité, crédulité.
How would Napolean or Louis XIV would respond to this? You don't see the Britons rioting before the Queen, do you?
It's making more sense now why the Bastille was in place. I think a splash of Bourbon would settle everybody down.
"Because it's exciting."
exactly ! the casseurs find also exciting to punch the young bourgeoises... so, look like manifs are some kind of funny hooliganism for them
Now I wouldn't say that's the same thing for those that blocate oil tanks, these are really trotskysts, they still want to implement a communism regime
Bilbo, it is not, I think, that the younger protesters do not understand that the changes are in their own interest. It is that their own interest, at the moment, is to be doing something exciting. This may be stupid of them, but it is hardly unique. I recall all too clearly being near a university in the US in the late 1960s when a riot was happening a few blocks away. (I don't remember the proximate cause, but it doesn't matter.) And, when asked why he was heading in that direction, one student said to me "Because it's exciting."
Not that he cared about the cause that had led to the riot. Or even knew what it was. It was just a chance to go do something "exciting." For most of the French youths involved, I suspect it is exactly the same motivation. That the cause is directly against their long-term interests is simply not part of the picture.
thank you man
What is it with FirstAdvisor? Yesterday he was blaming everything on the Jews, today the French have sub-par IQs. FirstAdvisor, this is a discussion forum, and there are rules against racist hate speech. If enough people report your comments as hate speech (one of the options under 'Report abuse'), you will be kicked off the site. You seem to be trying for humor, and I can assure you, it's not funny.
The French seem to have a real siege mentality. Whats all this anglo saxon nonsense. Look around and see that everyone else from china to brazil are pursueing similar policies.In the long run they work! Do they really think so little of the rest of us for trying to get on in our way?
None of them students could be smart either, they should know by now that the only thing they're getting for this "Socialism" is the bill. Youth and enthusiasm is great, age and guile wins everytime.
Young vandals who don't understand that if their parents work longer then they won't have to pay for their retirement benefits through taxes.
It's actually in the young generation's interest to increase the retirement age.
See the analysis of an American writer resident in Paris:
I m a french student and I live in Ireland. (sorry in advance for my english)
I am fed up to read this kind of article about France.
This is so bad for us ! omg, shame on my country;
the problem in France is all journalists and teachers as well come from the left wing ! ( the left of the left )
so, students (lycens) are used to hear this communist bul***** !
so many young people like myself gave up, and now we cannot imagine coming back in our own country.
I think french have to see what's going on abroad !!
the more frustrating is that we have everything to succeed, but we always make the bad decisions !!
However, to First advisor,
our average IQ is totally normal !!
I doubt all the people in the French streets are really moved by the age of retirement. Moreover, I think that a country, where people do not say anything even though they perceive policies as wrong, should also be ashamed. I am not saying that French protesters are right because I do not think so, but I would like to ask all the fans of laissez faire if e.g. dodged taxes are less dangerous than early retirements for public finances.
I love the people; I love their country -- but, I have never seen a country more woefully ignorant of basic economic principles. There is an easy answer folks, not dissimilar to a parent who promises a child an allowance but must rescind that promise when he/she loses his job or takes a cut in pay. We understand that you love your benefits and yes, we know they were promised to you, but things have changed and they are no longer affordable. Nobody is taking them away; they are simply being reduced. Deal with it. Equally disingenuous: people in both countries who demand "less government" while what they really mean is that they want to curtail government that doesn't directly benefit them. If it personally benefits them, well, that's apparently OK. Such hypocrisy!
It's a tradition for French people to take to the streets because it's a tradition for their governments not to listen. Indeed, the new retirement law it being rushed through after less than a minimum of consultation. Thus the students who now take to the streets should not be seen as revolutionaries but as young people preparing for citizenship.
The anger comes from the fact that, to get a pension, both of the two following conditions will need to be met, in future:
1) A minimum age of 62
2) and at least 42 full years of pension contributions.
This means that some people will contribute for more than 42 years, typically those in occupations (like construction) that have lower life expectancies. (And this is the main grievance of the strikers.)
On the other hand, anyone who has not accumulated 42 years' of contributions at age 62 needs to work longer - meaning, in practice, anyone with a higher education, and also mothers who have taken time out to take care of children.
Entitlement to the full state pension (but still proportional to the money put in the "pot") will be raised to 67 years of age.
Two observations come to mind . One is that of Canute holding back the tide, where instead of the sea we now have the inexorable tide of demographics and compound interest . They are both merciless . The second is the wisdom of Lady Thatcher as to socialism's inherent contradiction : " Sooner or later , one runs out of other people's money to spend " . But it is a nice time of year to be in the streets , the whiff of tear gas in the air, a young man's fancy lightly turns to revolution just for the hell of it .
The unions are hopelessly unrealistic in fighting this battle. They seem to forget that the retirement age was 65 as recently as 1982. Not to mention that life expectancy has risen by a decade over the past 40 years. Read more: http://latrocinium.blogspot.com/2010/10/facing-new-realities-in-france.html
"Although 67% of respondents to one poll this week said they supported the routine strikes and demonstrations"
hmm they didn't queston the right persons, I rather heard that "ils commencent à nous faire chier" !
Prakhar Singh,
don't mix your cast system with our equalitarism
There is no excuse for the protesters in France to turn violent even if the economic situation seems unstable, and the future of students seems bleak. We have to understand, however, that everyone is under pressure because of the economic downturn.
A temporary solution is to call of the protests by a new law with the agreement of unions, followed by negotiations between the Government and the leaders of protesting organizations. Only when calm has returned, rational thinking can prevail.

Ct 48
I like my CT 48.
I have changed the original helm location from the stern to a bit further forward. The reason had to do with lonesomeness more than anything. There was only one decent place to sit so you were always alone...also with the offset (now centered) companion way so far forward, you were almost completely isolated when on the helm. Plus the backstay always hit me in the head. Its much better now. She is a heavy boat with a full keel and lots of freeboard. Since my new stomping ground is the Med. (stern too) I've added a bow thruster. I've also added davits and black and grey water tanks. I love the massive bilge...gives me loads of room for extra tanks and such. I had to remove the water tanks and have replaced them with glassed-in ones. I've re-powered with a J444 from Mermaid in England its a little bigger (85hp) and just barely fit...I had to make new stringers to mount it. Before bringing the boat from the states I replaced the original wooden rig with Aluminum and all standing rigging. Lots more to mention, but my hunt and peck typing style has a limit. I would love to talk to other ct owners and compare notes, and others doing refits. |
Wonderful job!
Thanks, it's definitely a labor of love.
am curious, is she comparable to the ct 47? also, have you had to do any structural repairs. the 47 is around 29 thousand with a balast of 12 thousand. i was wondering how she sails. thanks
She's no light wind boat...but with 20kts on the beam she goes like a freight train.
She is a heavy weather boat. I'm not that familiar with the CT47 but I believe they are very different boats, Mine is 39,000 lbs full keel and canoe stern. |

Bose Speakers
Can you help me find out the prices for the Bose speakers on a 2006 Cadillac STS v8 w/navi. i believe my dash speakers and tweeters in the seats are blown.
Joel DuBay

Re: Bose Speakers
here's the pricing info
dash center speaker
$44.42 - list price
$27.76 - your price
dash outer speakers
$44.26 - list price each
$27.66 - your price each
seat speakers
$68.70 - list price each
$42.94 - your price each
they are all available still from GM but it will take me about 4 (business) days to get them all here once we order them
then it will take another 3 days to ship to you via UPS ground so basically a week and a few days
shipping will cost about $20 (that is if you go for all 7 speakers)
let me know if you have any questions

I've made the same mistake when not paying attention. Eyebrows are the most important and most confusing part of a face. Without input, it's hard to tell the right shape, color etc. She also seems to be lacking mascara, blush, and that nude gloss makes her lips look like two dead fish.

This was only ONE of her worst looks. I swear that up until 2006, she still hadn't gotten her looks together. I still think she's nuts. She just keeps it on the down low these days.

I've always been astounded by her lips, but this closeup does her no favors. Her skin and eyebrows are weird here.

Very sad . . . the severe attempts at makeup is a mask, trying to hide a very troubled and exhausted Angie. It's common knowledge she's been having some very serious domestic troubles, there have even been rumors of a recent suicide attempt.
This is one of those moments where I am more than wiling to give Angie a bit of a break here.
She's a fine actress, and very devoted to her kids and charity projects, but life is caving in on her - you can see it on her face, no matter how much make-up tries to hide it.

The Henry County Wildcats used a patient attack and solid defense to win their first round matchup with Carroll County, 48-34, in the first round of the 31st District tournament Monday night.
The smaller Panthers played a zone defense that packed the paint and forced Henry County to move the ball patiently to find openings. The Cats got good 3-point shooting in the first period from Mason Heightchew and Jacob Watson to help loosen the Panthers' defense.
The Eminence Warriors traveled to Louisville Feb. 9 to take on the Brown High School Bears and came away with a 71-57 victory.
Three-pointers by Alex Perdue and Kemryn Jenkins put the Warriors up 6-5 early in the game. From there they outscored the Bears 9-4 the rest of the first period to lead 15-9.
Perdue nailed another long 3-pointer to open the scoring in the second period and give the Warriors a nine-point lead. Two free throws by Jake McKinley ended an 8-0 run to open the quarter and give Eminence a 23-9 lead.
The Eminence Warriors girls' basketball team took on the Brown Bears in Louisville on Feb. 9 and fell despite leading for most of the game.
The Warriors led after one period, 6-4. Kenya Vargas and Destany Crawford each scored three points in the period.
The Warriors' defense was even stingier in the second period and they outscored the Bears 6-2 to lead 12-6 at halftime. Crawford, Madison Dockter and Lyndsay Craigmyle scored the Warriors' baskets in the second period.
By Greg Woods
A strong defensive performance in the third quarter propelled the Henry County Wildcats to a 12-point victory over the Kentucky Country Day Bearcats in Louisville on Feb. 9.
The Wildcats held the Bearcats to just two points in the period to take command of what had been a close game through the first two periods.
The Wildcats led 13-11 after the opening period and increased the lead to seven points late in the second period.
The Henry County Lady Cats got off to slow start but used good defense and the inside scoring of Megan Payton to pull away from Eminence for a 49-14 win in the first round of the 31st District tournament Monday night.
The Lady Cats managed just seven points in the first period as the Warriors packed their zone defense around the 6'1" Payton to try and stop her potent inside game. But the Lady Cats' defense smothered the Warriors' offense as Eminence managed just three points from point guard Emilie Ethington.

Sorry! Just reflecting my experience about what happens when people from the temperate zone of the United States (in the band that receives four separate and distinct seasons between the Arctic deep freeze in the North and the sweaty tropics of the Southeast and the sweaty arid desert of Southwest) receive inclement winter weather.
On January 28, 2015, I introduced the Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act (H.R. 589). This bill would assist our struggling middle class by eliminating an unnecessary and unjust double-tax on seniors.
The Henry County Lady Cats traveled to Louisville Feb. 10 to take on the Whitefield Academy Lady Wildcats and came away with a 53-43 victory that was keyed by stingy third quarter defense.
The Lady Cats opened well with senior center Megan Payton and junior forward Sarah Foree leading them to an 18-13 lead after the first quarter. Payton had seven points in the period and Foree had four.
The first period was decisive in the Lady Cats' semifinal matchup against Gallatin County. The Lady Wildcats from Warsaw jumped out to a 13-0 lead in the first three minutes of the game and never looked back in rolling to the 23-point win.
Gallatin went on to lead 24-7 at the end of the first period as standouts Hannah Dossett and Autumn Bowen combined for 14 points.

Inga Clendinnen Aztecs: An Interpretation New York : Cambridge University Press, 1991
Reviewed by Alison Jeppesen, University of Saskatchewan
Inga Clendinnens Aztecs: An Interpretation is a highly innovative monograph looking at the Aztecs; more specifically, she is exploring one group: the Mexica people of Tenochtitlan in the Valley of Mexico. The book is innovative in its focus, its use of sources, and its narrative style and structure. Written for the specialist and the non-specialist alike, it gives the reader a new look into the Mexica people by concentrating on their religious rituals, their pantheon of deities, and their beliefs about the sacred. It allows the reader a glimpse into the everyday lives of the Mexica in the late 15th and early 16th centuries prior to their conquest by the Spaniards.
Previous studies of the Mexica people have focused on the conquest by the Spaniards, the rise to power of Tenochtitlan, state formations, economic arrangements, the "official" religious performances and, more recently, social organization and land distribution.[1] Aztecs: An Interpretation focuses on none of these things; rather, it is Inga Clendinnens attempt to render the psyche of the Mexica people. She wishes to explain "that unnerving discrepancy between the high decorum and fastidious social and aesthetic sensibility of the Mexica world, and the massive carnality of the killings and dismemberings: between social grace and monstrous ritual."[2] She seeks to solve this discrepancy by discovering "how ordinary people understood human sacrifice: their inescapable intimacy with the victims bodies, living and dead; how that intimacy was rendered tolerable; what meanings were attached to it." [3]She seeks to understand Mexica beliefs, not on an abstract level but rather as "the emotional, moral and aesthetic nexus through which thought comes to be expressed in action, and so made public, visible, and accessible to our observation."[4]
Clendinnens use of sources is also innovative. Although she has access to numerous sources on the Mexica, she chooses to concentrate on one. In her "methodological exercise," Clendinnen is attempting "to discover what can be done through the close analysis of a single, if remarkably rich, text."[5] The text under discussion is the twelve volume General History of the Things of New Spain by the Franciscan monk Bernardo de Sahagún. Collected by Indian scribes, this work, commonly called the Florentine Codex, consists of material which discusses life in Tenochtitlan prior to contact. Clendinnen believes that, although this work is definitely a colonial production, it does allow scholars access to Mexica voices and actions. She also notes that, although the Florentine Codex has fallen out of favour with scholars, they still use it "extensively."[6] Some reviewers of Aztecs have found fault with Clendinnens insistence on using the Florentine Codex. Susan D. Gillespie believes that Clendinnens use of the book results in an inaccurately bleak picture of the Mexica world. She notes that "the Florentine Codex, source of this bleak representation, was written during the traumatic aftermath of the conquest, which devastated the Aztecs."[7] As a result of this bias, she deems it unreliable. Rosemary A. Joyce fears that Clendinnen is not critical enough of the Spanish influence on the Florentine Codex and asks "how much of the dark emotional texture of the interpretation derived from these documents reflects the reality of Tenochtitlan before the Spanish conquest, and to what extent did the retrospective composition of these documents in the situation influence the sensibility?"[8] In opposition to these views is Francis J. Brooks who believes Clendinnens methodological exercise is "probably the most sustained exegesis of the Florentine codex that we have."[9]
Clendinnen obviously does not agree that the Florentine Codex has little or no value due to its composition and biases. In addition to archaeological evidence, she supplements the Florentine Codex with the work of the Dominican friar Diego Duran, but she does this only rarely and cautiously as she is attempting to explore only one source and she believes Durans work to be much less reliable for "native ways of life."[10] She clearly prefers the views of the Mexica presented by Sahagúns informants. Also, she does not use this source as indiscriminately as has been suggested. When discussing the use of slaves in one of the ritual sacrifices found in the Mexica calendar, she disagrees with a commonly held belief that the slaves sacrificed were Mexica slaves, though she states as a caution, "All claims here must be tentative, the sources being what they are."[11] In her final chapter "A Question of Sources," Clendinnen again addresses the problem of reliability. On the Florentine Codex she writes:
The Florentine Codex has remained the main source for Mexica life in the decades before the conquest. With all its defectsproduced by survivors of the erstwhile ruling group; exclusively male; further distanced from the actuality we seek to glimpse by its idealizing tendency and its Spanish eliciting and editing; abducted into Englishit is nonetheless the best source we have for Mexica views, and for accounts of Mexica action as described by Mexica voices. If those voices were constrained on some occasions by inappropriate Spanish demands, on others they were allowed to run free, Sahagún being sufficiently sensitive to the risk of unwitting influence to give his informants a large degree of latitude on the issues which most interested him.[12]
Clearly, Clendinnen is well aware of the problems associated with the Florentine Codex and chooses to use it because she deems it the best source for her particular focus.
The main body of the monograph consists of a series of essays, or "tentative, discursive explorations" using "multiple, oblique, and angled approaches."[13] In Part I, she discusses the city of Tenochtitlan, its rise to power and the social relationships found in it. In Part II, she discusses the various roles of the people in Tenochtitlan: victims, warriors, priests, merchants, wives, mothers, and children. She discusses the different representations of the sacred in Part III, and the fall of the city to the Spanish in Part IV. According to Janine Gasco, this is not a conventional format which uses "themes and arguments" to lead the reader to an understanding of how the Mexica viewed their world; rather, in each essay Clendinnen seeks to discover how the group under discussion (wives, mothers, warriors, priests, merchants or victims) "participated in and perceived the ritual of human sacrifice."[14] This may not be a conventional format, but it has worked well in this case. This format of essays used by Clendinnen allows the reader to obtain an impression of each segment of Mexica society and how it viewed and participated in the rituals of human sacrifice. This format makes Clendinnens ideas much more accessible and easier to follow than they would be if she had treated the entire society as a whole. The complex society of the Mexica is much easier to understand when broken up into its component parts.
Aztecs: An Interpretation is an excellent example of a narrative approach which blurs the lines of history by crossing into other disciplines containing historical topics which have not been traditionally associated with history. This is one example of how "the gap has narrowed between anthropological and historical research on prehistoric and historic peoples of the Americas."[15] It also is an example of the narrowing gap between historical narrative and fictive narrative. Clendinnens narrative approach allows the reader to be fully convinced of her conception of the Mexica people and their views. The imagination of the reader is engaged in picturing the processions of the victims and the sweep of the obsidian blade. Rituals which last occurred five hundred years ago are brought startlingly to life, although one notes that certain rituals would have been easier to picture had a city plan of Tenochtitlan been provided. To bring these rituals closer to home and to make the reader see that they were not as unique or barbarous as some might think, Clendinnen draws comparisons to other American Indian tribes, such as the Blackfoot and the Huron. Again, her narrative style is brutally realistic. Her descriptions of the varying rituals are often pages in length. An example of her compelling narrative style and her use of comparisons to more identifiable tribes can be found in her discussion of the use of skins, both human and animal, in rituals.
Despite the importance of behaviour, for the Mexicaas for Amerindians more generallyit was the skin, that most external and enveloping appearance, which constituted a creatures essence, and so stored the most formidable symbolic power. When a vision-creature appeared to a Plains Indian as a messenger from the sacred powers, the dreamer secured the skin of the same animal as an essential part of his sacred medicine bundle (North-American medicine bundles, with their withered skins and claws and beaks, look like the detritus of a failed taxidermist). Catlin recorded the costume of a Blackfoot curer as a medley of animal and vegetable, but he noted especially the skin of the yellow bear . . . skins of snakes, and frogs, and bats. This power of the skin extended through the secondary skin of the sacred garment, to face and body paint, masks, and adornments.[16]
Aztecs often seems to be more of an anthropological investigation than an historical investigationan investigation much closer to that of Herodotus than Thucydides. Clendinnens exploration into the psyche of the Mexica is certainly innovative, and one is left with a seemingly realistic picture of the Mexica people. But one must wonder to what extent Clendinnens representation of the Mexica people is accurate. She herself stresses that this is an interpretation. Joyce firmly believes that the Mexica presented in this monograph are decidedly the "creation of the author."[17] This work cannot, in any way, be judged as a search for the historical truth. Clendinnen is not looking for the "true" Mexica people; rather she is offering a possible hypothesis. She is attempting to further the study of the Mexica beyond the previous scholarly preoccupation with economics and empire. In this, she has succeeded. Aztecs: An Interpretation is extremely thought provoking. She sums up her self-admitted "quixotic" quest in her one paragraph epiloguea term more suited to fiction than history.
Historians of remote places and peoples are the romantics of the human sciences, Ahabs pursuing our great white whale, dimly aware that the whole business is, if coolly considered, rather less than reasonable. We will never catch him and dont much want to: it is our own limitations of thought, of understandings, of imagination we test as we quarter those strange waters.[18]
If one substitutes the psyche of the Mexica for Ahabs great white whale, one has a perfect description of Aztecs: An Interpretation.

I am well aware of key loggers etc, but im not worried about this change because i know my account is secure and ill know if something happens to compromise my account because i wont be able to access it, with or without an authenticator (which i have) and the likely email ill get from blizz stating my account has been locked due to suspicious activity, then i know i need to take steps to ensure my pc is secure which likely means a reformat and problem solved pc is secure again and they still wont gain access to the account because of said authenticator. I know because i had a similar experience recently while i was reactivating my account |
Sigh. This makes me want to keep these threads going as I hate this feature and if they refuse to make it optional I want to see it ruined |
It doesn't have to ruin the feature. just have an option.
Advanced authenticator feature (ON/OFF) easy. this should have never gotten through QA without some kind of contingency for those of us who would be uncomfortable with the "perceived" lack of security. I think that most of us are pist because of the way it has been handled. imagine if your bank suddenly stopped needing you password when you logged in without asking you first. yes you can have your browser save it for you. but thats an option.
Edited by Elianna on 6/18/2011 1:28 AM PDT
I wish I could unsub from this game again! What a bunch of maroons! So if people don't agree with you, you call them morons and leave the game? Nice one. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if you don't agree with it, mate. Thgat's why this is called a "public" forum.
Edited by Luminol on 6/18/2011 1:30 AM PDT
Sigh. I totally agree with that. |
mine was a complex PW(probably as complex as Blizzard's system allows) not sure on the number of tries, I know one Battlenet site(fixed since then) was allowing unlimited tries I know my computer scanned clean numerous ways after I was hacked about the only way to make my acct more secure was add the authenticator, I did now I don't trust it again, because this is the opposite of security standards for improved security |
He was meaning that insult toward the developers. |
Exactly! Good analogy, Elianna, there shouldn't be "surprises" when it comes to security! |
actually I did not have a keylogger yet I still got hacked a keylogger would have just made it easier for them to hack me I could easily put one on my roommates laptop if I wanted, would take me less than 45minutes including bypassing his PW(not removing it) how many people trust their roommates/siblings/kids/parents 100%?
Edited by Anii on 6/18/2011 1:33 AM PDT
i trust my husband to log onto my account and transfer gold to his toons if he needs it for AH purposes, lol. well, he did it once and with my permission of course, but it actually kind of proves Anii's point. afterall, how many kids/ siblings/ parents will try to log onto another's account just to see if they could? isn't that how most hackers start thier "careers" anyway? just to see if they could, a phrase almost as common as "he/she did it!" lol
give us the option Blizz, and let us KNOW if you do (or don't for that matter) so we know what to expect and look for, please. |

not sure on the number of tries, I know one Battlenet site(fixed since then) was allowing unlimited tries That's interesting. Did you make a post on the tech support forums about how you were hacked when you got hacked ? Which software did you use to scan with ?. I know there's currently a really bad root kit that's currently at the 9th variant going around. AFAIK it's one which crashes you tho. I would test this brute force lock out thing myself but I'm at work over the next few days and I live in NZ so it would be very difficult for me to ring Billing to get my account unlocked if I do get it locked. ________________________________________________ Bringing you walls of text and cookies since 2005 :) Mac Tech Support MVP (moonlights in other forums) Here to Help :) |
One more heart attack when I thought the authentication was hacked.
One more person who thinks this should have been an optional feature (default being the way it was) One more vote that a message on the login and/or launcher screen would have been a better place to tell people about this change than Twitter. One more satirical joke. Now that Blizzard no longer needs to prove who I am by using a random string of eight digits that are single use, have a life span of 30 seconds, and are created by a device I carry on my person.... Why do I still need to type in a password, which can easily be less secure, guessed, stolen, and the same for years? Seems like if you're not using the authenticator in my pocket, you shouldn't need the password from my keyboard. When I click "Play" I should go straight to character select. |
The login page should have said something about this change. Very confusing and not communicated well. I did not see anything on it in the KB as well. I would like this to be an option, I don't mind entering the key.
Even though IP spoofing may work, if they have your password then there is already a keylogger on your PC and who knows what else. It could be as easy as them remoting into your PC or using it as a proxy to make my authenticator useless.
I want the option to opt-out. Thanks. |
Ok so I figured this out
Open RegEdit Navigate to this folder withing the left window pane: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\Authenticator In the right pane 2 keys will show up. Key 1: (Default) - REG_SZ Key 2: Cached-XXXXXXXXX - REG_BINARY all the X's will be different based on your system configuration. Only delete the second one that starts with "Cached-". Mine says Cached-D07F1C03F7B45A46 Now back on the left pane, right click on Authenticator and select Permissions. Select your Windows Profile and in the second window under where it says "Permissions for (username of account) Check the two boxes that say "Deny" next to "Full Control" and "Read". Then click OK. (EDIT:) Then click Yes on the next window that comes up. When I did this, each time I logged in it started asking for the authenticator code every time I logged in. I know this is a registry hack but it works, and I know noone should ever have to do this but this is the one solution that I've found works. You will only have to do this one time and even if they've implemented it on their other platforms they to will continue to prompt for your auth code. (EDIT 2:) Under any circumstances, DO NOT edit anything else in the registry unless you absolutely know what you are doing.
Edited by Argrenda on 6/18/2011 1:51 AM PDT
aside from the heart attack, i fit those descriptions, lol.
would it be so hard for Blizz to make it an option? i mean isn't it something they could easily do or is it something they have to re-engineer half the UI for it to work and would it work properly the first time around? i think that's something to consider. personally i'd rather see it returned to the way it was if it is going to take alot for it to become an option for peace of mind, but that is just my opinion. i'd rather see the option to turn it on/ off more than anything. |
Ya you all say dont share your password. thats what everyone said when hacking first became a problem. give me the option to keep my sense of security. thats why I bought an autenticator, to use it. Either let me use it or send me my money back!!!!!
thanks for sharing all of this on how to "hack" your registry into asking for the auth code every time, but i'm scared to death to even try anything like this. i've goofed up entering my hotmail details into my outlook software and that was with a MS rep walking me through it.
so unless the user is absolutely sure about thier ability to do something like this, waiting for Blizz to take care of (or at least acknowledge) this issue, i'd avoid it... but it was great of you to share it nonetheless, Argrenda : ) |
