Laptops for Linux!
Once upon a time, the important issue with a computer was how well it worked. Nowadays, people have these funny ideas; they'd like to be comfortable while using their machines and not get headaches, neck cramps, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, radiation sickness, etc. Laptops win on most counts, the only problem being that tall people may be made to suffer.
The LCD flat screens on these laptops are pristine and clear: images are sharp and detailed, without glare, fuzziness, or flicker. There are exactly 1024x768 pixels on the screens (unlike CRT monitors, which often haven't got enough phosphors for the high resolutions they "support"). While laptop monitors are not as lovely as the extraordinarily expensive LCD flat panels, they have remarkable clarity and accurate color. And, they consume very little power while emitting hardly any electromagnetic radiation. Ever since these laptops arrived, I haven't touched my desktop computers, preferring instead to use ssh to log in from the laptops.
Both monitors are identical, 14.1-inch Active Matrix TFT (thin film transistor) panels. The ASL looked a tiny bit better in X, while the Attache looks significantly better in console mode. The reason for this is the Attache has been configured with a frame-buffer device, so the console shows up in 1024x768 instead of the usual 640x400. This means the screen can fit 48 rows and 128 columns of crystal-clear text (literally), as opposed to the usual 25 rows by 80 columns in 640x400 mode (which will appear ghosted on a laptop). LCD screens look proper only in their ideal resolution, so a monitor made for 1024x768 will be clear only in this mode and should stay there all the time to take advantage of the excellent image quality. If you are a console enthusiast, LinuxLaptops' frame-buffer-enabled kernels which run the console in 1024x768 are the only way to go.
The main disadvantage of LCD screens, other than expense, is they have particular viewing angles; if you look from the wrong angle, the colors and brightness will be off. Also, the screens are very delicate, so you can't get mad and punch your monitor. One shouldn't press on the screen at all, so it takes a concerted effort to clean. If you buy a laptop off the shelf and try to install Linux, configuring X will be a challenge. Finally, if you are slightly taller than average, you might develop neck and back pain from hunching over, since the keyboard is fixed so close to the monitor.
The ChemBook 7400 keyboard is a compact arrangement of full-size keys which are perky and shallow. You don't have to push down very far, so typing should conceivably be faster. One problem with these keyboards is they sit far back in the laptop, leaving a big surface in the way, and this usually results in the user resting his or her wrists on the laptop. After about thirty minutes of typing away while resting my wrists on the laptop, I feel a horrible throbbing pain which follows me around all day; I suspect this is what carpal tunnel syndrome feels like. So during the time I have been using only laptops for their nice monitors, I have also been using an external keyboard. Still, the key action on the laptop keyboard is fast, and LinuxLaptops even took the effort to remap CAPS LOCK to serve as the CTRL key.
Truthfully, I think track balls and little red joysticks are neat, but these days the typical pointer is a pad which one runs a finger across, inspiring the pointer to move accordingly. The pad is easy to get accustomed to, and the movement is logical and straightforward. The mouse buttons are two wide buttons situated below the pad. Clicking both at once will emulate the third button, but these days we should just have three buttons. Also, tapping on the pad often acts as a mouse click, and this leads to some funny accidents, especially on the Web.
The fundamental difference between the AS-LT300 and the Attache is that the AS-LT300 is a Red Hat system, whereas the Attache is a Debian system. Although distributions are usually fairly similar, especially when one gets past installation, these two are essentially polar opposites. Red Hat, as we know, is the market leader, the epitome of commercial Linux, while Debian GNU/Linux is a vanguard of the free-source philosophy, and typically the hacker's favorite setup. Herein lies the difference in the feel of these laptops: ASL went the commercial route, while LinuxLaptops took the expressly non-commercial route.
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.

Who will buy Hulu? Eyes turn to Apple.
(Read article summary)Hulu would make an interesting acquisition for Apple. But analysts disagree on whether Hulu has serious bids.
Apple is considering a bid for Hulu, the streaming video service launched in 2007, according to Bloomberg News. The acquisition – news of which Bloomberg attributes to a pair of inside sources – would help Apple challenge Netflix on the streaming video front, and possible bring an added layer of dynamism to Apple products such as the iPhone and the iPad.
"Part of the ecosystem of Apple's future is to include more video," Scott Sutherland, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, told Bloomberg. "It's something they are focused on." That makes sense: Witness the proliferation of iPad tablets and even the disc-drive free MacBook Air. Streaming video, clearly, is here to stay, and Apple is gearing its hardware toward it.

CBS News has agreed to supply its news content to bigchalk's online library and classroom products for five years. The content will come largely from "CBS Evening News" and include material from programs such as "Sunday Morning."
"[The agreement adds] about 2,000 hours of video footage to bigchalk's database and multimedia content," says Jack Lynch, bigchalk's CEO. "It is the most compelling news footage of the 20th and 21st centuries. It helps educators make learning more engaging for their students, which I think is particularly significant since this generation of kids has grown accustomed to the strong presence of digital media."
Scheduled to be available before summer, the content will offer thousands of stories ranging from news to profiles and features on music, pop culture and sports. It will be accessible through bigchalk's recently launched bigchalk Multimedia product, with portions of the content also available on bigchalk Library and bigchalk Integrated Classroom.
Updated daily, bigchalk Multimedia is the company's new reference database for middle and high school students that is devoted to multimedia content. It offers more than 435,000 audio and video clips, pictures, TV and radio transcripts, and maps that can be easily accessed and used in learning activities.
"In terms of what [content is] available, I look at it from two standpoints," says Lynch. "One is current information and current news, which we make available in our databases along with our other news content. The other is archival and historical footage, and in that particular case we're selecting out key moments in history that are tied to core curriculum standards."
Lynch adds that the new content is also a great way for teachers to engross their students in learning using text, audio and video. "The more senses that are involved in the learning experience the better the learning," he says. bigchalk.com inc., New York, NY, (800) 860-9228, www.bigchalk.com.

Quantum cascade laser gain enhancement by front facet illumination
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 26, pp. 24282-24287 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (189 KB)
Optical gain enhancement is demonstrated in a standard mid-infrared quantum cascade laser in pulse operation, using a near infrared illumination on the laser facet. An increase in the laser emission is observed, as well as greater dynamic range, threshold reduction, and a blue shift in the laser cavity modes. The optically induced gain increase allows for optical switching of the laser. All the changes have a nonlinear dependency on the illumination optical power and are attributed to the free carrier concentration increase and the electron transport change in the active region due to the near infrared illumination.

Western Digital breaks out, bullish pattern active, levels to watch
The shares are up less than a percent today, but the move above the $50 level has triggered a bullish pattern. That pattern is a bullish, inverted, head and shoulders. Upside potential for the pattern, if it remains active and completes, is to the $55 area. The pattern would no longer be active on a move below $50. Support is at $49.99.

Tanky solo top with sustain, AP mid, ranged AD carry with support bottom lane, and a jungler. If this combination sounds familiar to you, congratulations on reaching a high enough level/elo to use or fight against this team composition. If you haven't, then consider yourselves lucky. The metagame for summoner's rift is getting old and I (along with many other people, I'm sure) would love to see a shift in this meta (even if it's just a slight change). However, the only way to change a meta is to beat a meta. So all of you creative forum-goers, if you have ever had success against a meta comp with a non-meta comp or just have some tips to countering the meta, please post them here. In other words... Can you beat the meta?
Tidal Fart
High CC with hard DPS. For example Garen and Sion - Garen and Morgana. Morgana or Sion stun garen spins2win. Wins every lane
Rg Toad
Garen is not used because he is coubterable and his spin to win can be shut down hard plus in a solo lane he can be shut down hard by ranged heckling. Also beating the Meta really depends on your opponents alot of people blindly follow it, and don't know how truly punishing it is to a team that doesn't follow suit, and you do realize that as soon as you "beat" the Meta the new one will become just as repetitive, but I personally enjoy the current style.
Burnt Pineapple
Not really meta-changing, but something that I've played with success on occasion is a hyper-aggressive bot lane by pairing an AD range with any champion that has significant burst/cc. I admit that in my experience, this almost always ends up happening when somebody screws up the typical team comp by last picking a role that is already covered... The focus here is on completely destroying the typical enemy pair, which tends to rely on sustain and farm while depending on the jungler to gank for kills. Though they aren't typically a support, characters like Annie, Sion, GP, and Nunu can all help their lane partner and entire team by destroying the potential of the enemy ranged carry. They just have to adopt their roles later game in order to compensate for the fact that they won't be getting the farm of a solo lane or jungle like these characters typically enjoy. Annie focuses on landing her cc to let other people wipe out the enemies, Nunu and GP buff their teammates and have large AOE ults for team fights, and though a Sion without the first 10 minutes of lane farming isn't going to do as much to help his team late game, he is perhaps the scariest character to be facing as an enemy ranged carry and is most likely to help thoroughly dominate his lane. This lane comp without the typical support sustain is even more dependent on strong river warding to prevent the enemy jungler from ruining your efforts to dominate the lane.
Duo/Support Top and Hyper-Aggressive/Burst Bot seems to do well against the current meta. 2 v 1 top can completely zone top while being safe from the enemy jungle if one of the 2 is support. 2 burst champs can hold their own against a AD and a Support champ bottom. and Mid is mid. Also very few games in non-ranked play have a jungler on both sides. If Riot would run some sort of limited time bonus IP special to encourage players who are scared of ranked to start playing ranked you would see the meta change.
i know a guy who only plays tanks and he can lane bot with me as a ranged ad carry (usually trist), it mostly consists of him stunning the squishier of the opponents and me killing it
Junior Member
i have often beat those teams with a double ranged AD super-aggressive combo(ie caitlyn/sivir) especially for those who choose squishy supports like sona/soraka/janna..they get trampled all over very quickly and outlaned/pushed..the only time we die is when their jungler comes down and it becomes 3on2 without us having a ward-- ie first 5 minutes of the game..same with top lane when it is solo..if we go in there we take their 1st and 2nd turrets within 7-8 minutes of the game due to them being unable to stop us hope this helps -- double ranged super aggressive AD(long as you know what youre doing at least)
the problem with breaking the meta is that normals arent balanced on skill at all (its completely random who you get queued against and with), so team comps that have sucess in normal might be completely stomped in ranked by equally skilled meta players.
AD range and tank bot lane. for example, cait and cho...since tanks usually need gold to be anything more than a waste of space, cho would get gp5 items (i usually get two) and take 2 caster minions each wave. generally at lvl 6 if cho can land a Q W R combo with cait following up with whatever necessary (probably a trap during the knock-up, then Q R), there is little/no chance of survival for the other guy. in addition, both these champs are great for long range harass and there is little the other guy can do about it. i'm personally a big malphite fan, and i find he fills this role great considering if the other team has enough AD to make you choose malphite you will surely need the HoG for randuin anyway. ANYWAY...tanks may lack the sustain of a support, but they usually have some sort of disable and deal tons more dmg than a support at a greater range. however you don't need nearly as much sustain with a meat shield around, but just in case summoner heal is viable now for that clutch 2hp save from the jungler lol.
Emperor Hick
I really hate when the other team doesn't have a jungler and you pick someone like riven for solo top. It just can't be done. Totally shuts top lane down. Ungankable basically because it would still only be a 2v2 and the laner is probably lower health from harrass. It i pick someone like yorick or cho for solo top bring it on.

Like many people, the founders of Librum were faced with a predicament. They were hungry for knowledge and loved reading, but their busy schedules forced the, to put off their desire to learn. So they thought, how can this problem be solved? And so Librum began taking form. They started by getting highly qualified writers to summarize non-fiction books. Books such as "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking", "Zero to One: Notes on Startups" and "Disney War".
If you love reading but find that you often lack the time, then Librum is for you. The Vancouver-based startup is offering a valuable service to eager learners; free access to a library of non-fiction book summaries. Other websites offer a similar service, but none have come out and made it free. Driven by the desire to make learning material available to everyone, Librum presents users with detailed summaries of today's hottest non-fiction books. They are currently offering free summaries on their website and will be constantly growing their library. In the near future, they will be releasing an iOS and Android application that will allow you to read summaries on the go.
While our electronic gadgets are evolving by the day, a common bottleneck faced is the outdated battery technology. Luckily, quite a few technological researches looks promising for the future battery technology - be it the COTA Wireless charging, the superfast NanoDot Smartphone Charger (Recharges in 30 seconds) or the all new ultra-fast charging batteries that last 20 years from Scientists at Nanyang Technology University (NTU).
The new lithium ion batteries can reach a 70% charge in two minutes and last for over 20 years. The change that did the trick was using titanium dioxide nanotubes for the anode (the negative pole) instead of conventional graphite which speeds up the battery's chemical reactions while offering 10,000 charging cycles instead of the usual 500. Since the mini titanium tubes are both easy to make and relatively inexpensive, the technology should not be far away from consumer usage.
The voice-activated personal assistant on your phones are getting smarter by the day and the battle for most usable artificial intelligence is being fought between Apple Siri, Google Now and Cortana. Stone Temple, a consulting company decided to put these three against each other to determine the best technology amongst them by evaluating each with no less then 3,000 voice queries.
Want to know who won the fight? Just watch the video below and click the "Read More" link below to get the exact results.

As the social networking websites expands and increases in popularity, a growing number of people are willing to share their photo creation at the sites. So the big question – how can you determine your photos you share out not being embezzled? Then watermark is the most efficient method to embed a strong protection to your photos. A time-limited giveaway of Watermark Software is distributed by watermark-software.com, associating with MegaLeecher.
Overview: When you share your photos on the web, you'll never find out what would happen in the following second. Maybe someone will copy and republish your photos for bad using, however, you are able to do nothing. If you intend to sell your photos without watermark via internet, you may receive nothing after transaction.
Watermarking can effectively protect photo copyright. Whenever you share photos with watermark on the web, your photos won't be taken unauthorized. If you sell photos, you can firstly give photos with watermark and send original once you receive your remuneration. Furthermore, you can easily add logo or customized info as watermark.
If you are fed up with wasting a whole day to add watermark to batches of photos, you may need Photo Watermark Software's batch process to help you.
As if Apple #bendgate was not enough, users are now reporting their new iPhone 6 is plucking out hairs from beards and heads. One such users tweeted - "The seam on my iPhone 6 where the aluminum meets the glass is definitely catching my hair and pulling it out,". The problem is now being confirmed by many (also, demonstrated on video as shared below) and it seems the fine gap between the aluminum casing and the glass front of the device is catching and pulling out people's hair. The same is now being called #hairgate/#seamgate/#beargate and as earlier the jokes are once again on Apple.
Microsoft IllumiRoom got a whole lot better and is now being called Microsoft RoomAlive, as the name suggests the technology is a proof-of-concept showing how games of the future will be played out turning users surrounding into a video game level.
Apple has now officially confirmed the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus release dates and prices for India, as expected the newest iPhone's will be available for sale in India officially from Oct, 17 with pre-booking starting as early as tomorrow via distribution partners, namely Ingram Micro, Redington, Rashi Peripherals and Reliance. Apple's sales partners have also announced the pricing details for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus as :
As now listed on Apple India's website, the phones will be also made available by Airtel and Aircel, no pricing information regarding the carrier version of the phone is listed at the moment.
As expected Microsoft announced the next major upgrade to their flagship operating system at a press conference in San Francisco, however the new version is called Windows 10, and not Windows 9 as everyone anticipated. With this new incarnation of the Windows OS platform, Microsoft will be unifying the application Eco-system for all devices: desktops, laptops, consoles, tablets, and phones - Microsoft's executive VP of operating systems, Terry Myerson said "There will be one way to write a universal application, one store, one way for apps to be discovered purchased and updated across all of these devices". The new hybrid Start Menu is one such addition which acts as an bridge for unifying Metro-style apps which can now operate inside their own windows in Desktop/Laptop mode. There's a new, multiple-desktop feature and also a feature that lets users easily grab objects from one desktop and transfer it to another. The Microsoft Windows 10 Technical Preview builds for desktops and laptops are now officially available for download with integrated activation keys from the links shared ahead, the final Windows 10 version is scheduled to be launched in late 2015.

I was going to just edit my other thread on this but we can't do that anymore after a couple of hours goes by so sorry for the redundancy.
I just wanted to brag on Mark at Crossbreed. As I posted I was having some newbie issues with the kydex clips on the Crossbreed I bought yesterday and I posted here on the board for suggestions.
I messed with it last night just a little but was tired and went to bed.
Well at 4:00am my son's dog decided it was a good time to puke in his kennel and wake up the whole house! So after cleaning up and all that fun I couldn't go back to sleep and I decided to play some more with my new holster. I sent an e-mail to Crossbreed at about 7:00am figuring I would get a response after the holiday weekend. WRONG!
By 7:45am I had an answer back from Mark! Easy solution, use a hair dryer to heat and bend clips (new high water mark on my personal scale for not thinking of this myself, but heh, I never had any Kydex before).
Anyway big THANK YOU to Mark at Crossbreed for quick response!

Matt Barkley
Position | QB | School | USC |
Height | 6' 2 1/2" | Weight | 227 lbs |
Class | Senior | Number | 7 |
All-Star | --- | 40 Time | --- |
Initial Thoughts
Eric Stoner: Great balance and feet. Arm strength is a bit lacking, although rumor is that Barkley has gotten bigger/stronger and has increased the velocity on his throws over the offseason. While he is not necessarily mobile or athletic, he is more adept in the intermediate passing game when he gets some movement on bootlegs and waggles. He is advanced in concepts as is given plenty of autonomy at the line of scrimmage. Counts box defenders and is largely responsible for making decisions in the run game, which features heavily in Smoke and Bubble screen constraints. The system itself is a bit of a paradox – as stated, he has autonomy to get himself into the best plays and situations based on what the defense is giving him. On the other hand, the offense gives him a lot of easy, unchallenging throws that pad his stats and keep the offense on schedule and in manageable situations (over 50% of his throws occur no further than 5 yards downfield, with almost a quarter being passes thrown behind the line of scrimmage).

Great Dishwasher

I highly recommend this KitchenAid product. I love the satin glide lining that opens and closes the racks. The wash comes out great, and the dishwasher sound is so quiet and undistracting!

About Me Avid Cook
Comments about KitchenAid Architect Series II Panel Ready Built-In Dishwasher:
This replaces my 32 year old Kitchen Aid. It cleans much better than the old one. Follow the manufacturers directions. I'm still trying to figure out how best to load it. There are diagrams, but my dishes must be larger. The woman who suggested bringing your dishes to the showroom had a point. It is very quiet. One note, the dishwasher does not come with the stainless handle shown in the picture. Your panel supplier will have to supply hardware to match your cabinets. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.

Poor 3rd rack design and spacing issues.
By Avid Cook
from Chicago, IL
Top 3rd rack tray is too small and has very limited use. Second shelf can stay in high position for plates to fit bottom shelf, but then tall glasses do not fit 2nd shelf. Poor design for actual fit of multiple dish and glass sizes.
Cleans Well & Extremely Quiet
By Blankster
from Morton Grove IL
We have used the dishwasher several times now since ABT did an excellent install and it cleans great and is extremely quiet. We remodeled our family room and opened it up to the kitchen and the old unit (also Kitchenaid) was just too noisy. Now when watching TV in our family room we can't even tell if the new unit is running. I like the auto setting that figures out what type cycle to run based on the load and level of dirt. Amazing how refined kitchen appliances are becoming.

By James Slater: Back in the 1990s, when British boxing was able to boast a number of fine middleweights and super-middleweights, Yorks Henry Wharton was smack bang in the middle of the action; trading leather with big names like Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank and Robin Reid. Unluckily, Wharton lost all three of his world title fights, but nobody, not even the lethal-punching Benn was able to beat him by anything other than a points decision. A genuine tough guy with a granite jaw and limitless courage, Henry always wanted to fight the best. Successful in challenging for European, British and Commonwealth honours, Wharton retired in 1998, with a fine 27-3-1(20) pro record. Ever since calling it a day, Wharton has kept a pretty low profile. Never one to seek the limelight, Henry has not been seen on any boxing-related T.V shows, he has done no ringside commentary and he has given no interviews (even though a number of prestigious publications/ writers would very much like to get to speak with the former three-time world title challenger). But some exciting news broke yesterday; news that tells us Henry is about to launch a new boxing venture. Wharton is currently converting a former cinema in his hometown of York (also my home town!) into what will reportedly be the biggest boxing gym the walled city has ever had. Giving back to the sport that made him famous, Wharton is excited about the venture. I can see two rings in here, loads of punch bags and work bags, exercise areas, changing rooms, an area for other fitness activities - its all here, Wharton said enthusiastically when speaking to The Press about the gym he is currently working on. All the stuff I have learned from my days in the sport as an amateur and then a pro is stored here in my head. I have that knowledge and want to pass it on. I want to pay that back to the youngsters of York. People have been amazing and we just want to thank them all because this is a project that will help the community of York. We want this centre to be open to all, to be a home, a proper home to its boxers. The new gym, to be named The Eastside Boxing Club and Fitness Centre, will surely prove to be an exciting place to visit once it is opened. There is no word yet as to whether or not Henry will become an actual trainer, yet as he says, he sure has a lot of knowledge which he can pass on. A true warrior who is somewhat unappreciated in many ways, Wharton is a local hero and his giving back is sure to be a most welcome gesture. How exciting will it be for York (again, my home town!) if the new gym goes on to produce a future champion?!

Sonic & Rainbow Dash Adventure
by Jumpmaster9000
Chapter 2: The Return of An old Enemy, Dr. Eggman is in Equestria Too?!
Fluttershy: Dr. Eggman?
Tails: He the guy that traps the little animals & turns them into robots for world domination
Dr. Eggman: How kind of you, Fox Boy for introducing me to your new friends.
Fluttershy: How cruel! How can you live with yourself! ENSLAVING THESE POOR INNOCENT ANIMALS FOR NO REASON! YOU SICK F*CK!
Rainbow Dash: Fluttershy
Dr. Eggman: My My, It seems someone has a temper Tantrum. You need a hug?
Fluttershy: I won't forgive you for what you're doing, Dr. Eggman!
Dr. Eggman: hmph, Forgive me or not, sweetie. I'll keep enslaving these little Creatures along with these other one's I've picked up in Mobius before heading to this Dimension. Nothing & I mean nothing's gonna stop me from making New Eggmanland!
Sonic: Hey Eggy, I think you don't know who dealing with here.
Rainbow Dash: yeah Old Man, no matter how many crappy robots you throw, there no match for us! The Fastest Dynamic Duo in the World! (Sonic & Rainbow Dash), the Brainy Eggheads (Tails & Twilight Sparkle)
Twilight Sparkle & Tails: Hey!
Rainbow Dash: The Shy but Tough Cuties (Fluttershy & Cream) & the Pipsqueak Assistants (Spike & Cheese)
Spike: Rainbow!
Chasse: Cha-Chao Chao Chao! (Who you calling a Pipsqueak, Bitch!)
Dr. Eggman: well Sonic, It seems I met a pony version of yourself, No matter how many friends you make in this world I'll crush you all! I love to stay & chat but I've got evil schemes to plan & soon as I take over this world along with Mobius, New Eggmanland will be complete! Nice visiting you again, Sonic! But, the next time we meet, it'll be your last! Hasta la Bye Bye, Suckers! HO HO HO!
(Music Fades as Eggman Files away in the Egg Fleet)
Rainbow Dash: I'M NOT A PONY! I'M A PEGASI, YOU FAT PIECE OF SH*T!
Tails: Eggman, Darn it! How did he get here? Was it because of that same flashing light that shines all over Mobius. No, that's impossible, The Last time sonic beat Eggman was in this Egg Armada in space. Could he have-
Spike: Hey Tails, You all right?
Tails: Hu-what?
Sonic: You zoned there pretty good after Eggman escaped
Tails: It's okay guys I'm all right I'm Just wondering, How did Eggman appeared in Equestria if he wasn't affected by the shining light that transported me, You, Cream & cheese here.
Twilight Sparkle: Maybe he built some kind of portal to get to Equestria, He made those Robots & Celestia Knows what he'll make next. So maybe he made that portal from your world to our World
Rainbow Dash: Maybe Since Eggy made that portal, Could you think that could be connect to why the chaos Emerald in Equestria & the Element of Loyalty in Mobius
Cream: Ms. Rainbow Dash's got a point, Guys. What if Dr. Eggman's Dimensional Portal has something to do with the Chaos Emerald being in this world & that element of Loyalty Necklace being in Station Square?
Sonic: Knowing That Baldy McNosehair, He always had a knack for Toying with things that aren't meant to be toyed with like balance in dimensions, awakening Legendary Creatures from their year-long sleep, Hacking Government Files, Taming a Monster that eats Time & Space or Stealing Aliens to energy to build an Interstellar amusement Park (which is really made to be a Mind Controlling Laser) for all we know (referring to Eggman's Schemes from Sonic Adventure Series, '06,Unleashed,Colors & Generations)
Fluttershy: Kidnaping innocent Aliens too? Man, What a creep!
Sonic: yeah & that's not all-
Rainbow Dash: Okay, Storytime's over. Look, I really wanna race you Sonic, so how about we start cleaning Ponyville up.
Sonic: Don't worry about thing, Dashie. Watch this.
Sonic cracks his knuckles as he does a few stretching exercises
Sonic: Okay, here goes Nothing, BLUE TORNADO!
As Sonic goes to his spin ball formation & spins a circle around the debris cause by the giant egg fighter & send it flying into another Location
Everyone's Jaw drop after what they saw
Spike: Wow, THAT
WAS...AWESOME. I mean you were like Whoosh & like Ernnnnnnn & like send the trash flying! What's that move you called out again?
Sonic: It's called Blue Tornado. It allows me to form a tornado when I'm in Spin Dash mode. Pretty Cool huh?
Rainbow Dash: That's Similar to the time, me, Fluttershy & the other Pegasus made a tornado on the lake to give more water to clouds on Cloudsdale (referring to A MLP FiM Episode: Hurricane Fluttershy)
Sonic: Wow, That's Pretty Cool for a Pegasi like yourself, Dashie.
Rainbow Dash: *Blushes* Wow, Thanks Sonic! Say How bout that race I promised you
Sonic: Like I never forget that. You're On Dashie! *Spits on His Glove*
Rainbow Dash: May the Best Speeder Win! *Spits on her Hoof*
The Both Shake each other's hand filled with spit as the Two headed to Sweet Apple Acers, The rest of their friends followed
Tails: Hey Guys, I've just thought of something
Twilight Sparkle: What's Up Tails?
Tails: Sonic's now happy that he found someone with the same interests as him. Someone with the love of speed, Helping others, Hating Bullies, & protecting the one that he cares the most. I've never seen him this happy since he went out with an old Friend of me & cream's.
Twilight Sparkle: I've the same thing for Rainbow Dash, too
Fluttershy: yeah, ever since She & Soarin broke up 4 months ago, Most of the time, Rainbow Dash is Sad & trains by herself alone. Now that she met Sonic. She can finally train with someone as fast as him.
Cream: Yeah, Sonic felt the Same Way After Him & Amy Rose Broke up 4 months ago, too
Cheese: Chao Chao (Pretty Weird, Huh)
Spike: I guess the next thing you know those two will be dating
Everyone turn around to Spike, Giving him the Poker Face
Spike: What, I'm Just Saying
Tails: uhh Spike, I think that's kinda impossible considering Sonic's a Hedgehog
Fluttershy: and Rainbow Dash's A Pegasi
Cream: So that's probably not gonna work out you know.
Cheese: Chao Cha-Chao Chao Chao Chao Chao (Besides that'll be weird to have a Pegasi & Hedgehog as a couple)
Spike: whatever, Just saying
Later on the Egg Fleet, Eggman Scans the world of Equestria via satellite camera with his assistants, Orbot & Cubot
(Music: E.G.G.M.A.N. [Doctor Robeatnik Remix]-Shadow the Hedgehog)
Dr. Eggman: Hmph, Well now it seems like I'm not the only one that got transported in this world too. Damn that Hedgehog & his Annoying band of Pricks. How did he even get to Equestria?
Cubot: Maybe that Fox Friend of his made some kind of Dimension Portal that took him there
Orbot: *Slaps Cubot on the head* you imbecilic, there's no way that fox has the right materials to make such a thing.
Dr. Eggman: No orbot, Cubot's right. Knowing Tails he has the Ability to make any machine with any materials & still mange to beat me with that meddling hedgehog.*Thinking* or maybe it something to do with that Flashing light the embedded all over Mobius.
Cubot: Doctor, I looked into the info of the creatures that where with Sonic a few minutes ago. I do say it an odd bunch.
Dr. Eggman: Hmph I've already know those two brats & her little chao friend what about the ponies & that little dragon of theirs.
Orbot: Ahh yes the ponies. Actually, one of them's a unicorn & the other two are Mini Pegasus known as Pegasi. The Unicorn's Name is Twilight Sparkle, She one of Princess Celestia's Students. She wields very powerful magic. Her Assistant Is a baby Dragon named Spike, from what I saw earlier, He possess very powerful Dragon Magic.
Dr. Eggman: Magic, Please that's stuff's just a piece of crap anyway. But then again still be useful. What about the Pegasi?
Orbot: Well according to this data I've collected, there's one Pegasi who acts just like Sonic. Her Name His Rainbow "Danger" Dash as she calls herself by that Middle name & the other one who doesn't stand out a lot her name is Fluttershy, She takes care of all the animals in a cottage near evergreen forest.
Dr. Eggman: Ugh that makes me wanna puke, taking care of all those disgusting creatures and what not & that Blue Pegasi, I mentioned earlier to Sonic that I've met a pony version of himself. I mean you can tell really. The attitude, the speed & even the color. They're both blue for god's sake! It's like looking at two kinds Sonic's with twice the annoyance I get!
Cubot: Hey Boss, I just found out that one of those Pegasi have a chaos Emerald!
Dr. Eggman gets pissed off & starts to kick Cubot, sending him to the trash bin
Dr. Eggman: & YOU COULND TELL ME THIS BEFORE, GEEZ SOME TIME I FEEL: LIKE I WORK WITH MORONS OR SOMETHING! EF-MD1991 WHERE ARE THEY HEADED?!
EF-MD1991: The Targets are headed for Place known as Sweet Apple Acres
Dr. Eggman: Send In The Egg Pawn Squad 1, Egg Fighter Troop 54, & E-Robo Squadron Force 4! I want that Emerald IN MY CUSTODY, Along with a little Magic & Sooner or later, NEW EGGMANLAND WILL BE COMPLETE! HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!
As Eggman continues his Maniacal laughter he sends his army of Robot to the location of heroes to take the Chaos Emerald Along with Twilight Sparkle & Spike. As our Heroes head to Sweet Apple Acres, danger. What will happen to Sonic, Rainbow Dash & the rest of their friends?
To be continued

By dehydrating cauliflower when it's in season, it enables you to make delicious Cauliflower Soup and Cauliflower Mash (click on the links for their recipes!)
Add millet and quinoa to the Cauliflower Mash -- kids like this, as it compares favorably to 'mashed potatoes' ... the millet and quinoa really adds to the goodness of cauliflower!
Cauliflower is a good source of vitamins A and C, and Choline, followed by Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6, Niacin, Riboflavin, with trace amounts of vitamin E, and vitamin K.
In the mineral department, cauliflower is rich in Potassium, followed by Phosphorus, Calcium, and Magnesium.
There are trace amounts of Selenium, Iron, Zinc, Manganese, and Fluoride.
Cauliflower contains Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
In the photo at the top of the page, the dehydrated cauliflower looks rather brown, but don't worry about that as it turns back to white when it's rehydrated!
NOTE: You will have to slice the larger cauliflower pieces in half so that the cauliflower will fit between the food dehydrator trays.
Let the cauliflower thaw out (in its bag, unopened) in your kitchen sink in a bowl of tepid water if you're short on time, otherwise let the cauliflower bag thaw out for around an hour in your kitchen sink, unopened, then chop and put on the trays.
If thawing the frozen cauliflower by the water-in-the-bowl method, keep changing out the tepid water in the bowl until the cauliflower has thawed sufficiently for you to be able to cut (feel the pieces while they're still in the bag until they're soft enough). This will probably take about 10 minutes.
If using frozen cauliflower, ignore steps 1 and 2.

Happy Birthday, Linus
Today is the birthday of Linus. Although that's essentially a private event for him, there's an interesting historical link to the creation of the Linux kernel, too.
As is well known, before he started writing Linux, Linus coded on a Sinclair QL, a brilliant if rather bizarre system that was based on a cut-down version of the Motorola 68000 chip used in the Amiga, Atari ST, Apple Lisa and Macintosh. Linus was prepared to put up with the limitations of that chip because it offered multi-tasking – and hence the possibility of some advanced programming.
It was for similarly rigorous reasons that he avoided buying a PC for some time: he disliked the underlying architecture of Intel's chips. But when the 80386 came out, Linus finally succumbed, and at the end of 1990, decided to buy a PC. The only problem was finding the funds to pay for it.
One source was a grant from the Finnish government. This was actually a student loan meant for general living costs during his time at university, rather than specifically for buying computers, but Linus not unreasonably felt that a PC was an indispensable item for a student studying computing science, and hence a permitted expense. He finally paid off that debt in November 1992.
To this student loan, Linus added what he termed "Christmas money". As anyone who has a birthday very near Christmas will tell you, such "Christmas money" almost invariably includes money for the birthday bundled in too, so it's likely that some funds for the PC arrived in the form of birthday presents. Significantly, Linus wasted no time in buying the new computer after Christmas – and hence his birthday. As he told me in 1996: " I remember the first non-holiday day of the New Year I went to buy a PC." The specification is rather sobering:
386, DX33, 4 Megs of RAM, no co-processor, 40 Megs hard disc
Having acquired the hardware, Linus then had to wait for the software he wanted – Tanenbaum's Minix operating system. This was one reason why he had finally opted for the PC: Tanenbaum's Unix-like system had been ported to the 80386, and ran quite quickly on it, as Linus discovered during his university studies, which whetted his appetite for this educational tool.
Minix may have been fast on the PC but it was painfully slow in arriving. In his first published interview, in Linux News, Linus recalled what exactly he got up to in the meantime:
As it turned out, Minix wasn't available in Finland (at least I wasn't able to find it easily), so while I got my machine on January 5th 1991 (easy date to remember due to the monthly payments :-), I was forced to run DOS on it for a couple of months while waiting for the Minix disks. So Jan-Feb was spent about 70-30 playing "Prince of Persia" and getting aquainted with the machine.
When Minix finally arrived, I had solved "PoP", and knew a smattering of 386 machine code (enough to be able to get the machine into protected mode and sit there looping). So I installed Minix (leaving some room for "PoP" on a DOS partition), and started hacking.
Getting Minix wasn't altogether a pleasant experience: the keyboard bindings were wrong, and it didn't exactly act like the suns I was used to (ugghh. I *hate* the bourne shell for interactive work). The keyboard was easy to correct (although I didn't like the Minix keyboard driver code), and applying Bruce Evans' 386-patches made the system a bit more "real".
So somewhere around March-91, I had a 386 system running Minix-386, and I was able to install awb's gcc-1.37.1 port. After that, I was able to port bash to the resulting mess, and things looked a bit better. I also spent my time generally fooling around (porting gcc-1.40 and various other programs), and kept on learning about the 386 while doing so (writing small boot-disks that would set up a protected mode environment and print out various inane messages).
In that interview, Linus modestly described the genesis of Linux thus:
"Linux" didn't really exist until about August-91 - before that what I had was essentially just a very basic protected mode system that had evolved from a glorified "Hello world" program into a even more glorified terminal emulator. Linux stopped for quite a while at the terminal emulator stage: I played around with Minix, and used my protected mode program to read news from the univerity machine. No down/upload, but it did a fair vt100 emulation, and did it by using two tasks which communicated from keybodard->modem and modem->screen.
By mid-summer -91, "Linux" was able to read the disk (joyful moment), and eventually had a small and stupid disk driver and a simple buffer cache. So I started out trying to make a filesystem, and used the Minix fs for simple practical reasons: that way I already had a file layout I could test things on. After some more programming (talk about glossing things over), I had a very simple UNIX that had some of the basic functionalities of the real thing: I could run small test-programs under it.
By that time I looked around for some standards texts - I decided early on that I didn't want to write the user-level programs, and that in order to easily port things I'd either have to make the new system compatible with Minix (ugghh) or follow some other kind of standard. What I wanted was a POSIX guide, not so much to be 100% posix, but in order not to do anything really stupid I'd regret later.
My quest for the posix standards failed, as the posix standard committee sells the standard to feed itself as I found out, but I did get a good pointer to the (then very alpha and unsupported) GNU libc.a, which had an early manual accompanying it. The manual was of some help, but the biggest help was actually the contact to the person who pointed it out to me: email@example.com. He was/is the organizer of the pub/OS subdirectory at nic.funet.fi, and was interested in giving Linux a home at nic.
Back then, I was only idly thinking about making my system available (and I had no real time-table), but arl happily created a pub/OS/Linux subdirectory at nic, and thus also gave the system it's name. I wasn't really ready for a release yet, so the directory contained just a README for about a month ("this directory is for the freely distributable Minix clone" or something like that). Arl probably thought the project wouldn't come to anything.
I think we can safely say that "arl" - Ari Lemmke, a member of the Helsinki University staff – was a little mistaken on that point. It's truly extraordinary to contemplate that Linus's "glorified "Hello world" program" is now running nearly 90% of the world's top supercomputers. And at the other end of the scale, it is making huge in-roads into the smartphone market, which means that one day there may be billions of people with the Linux kernel in their pocket.
Indeed, it is difficult to imagine what the world would be like today had Linus not bought that PC in 1991 with his Christmas and birthday money. There could hardly be a better time than today to thank him for Linux, his amazing gift to us, and to wish him many happy returns.
Linux as such
You see, boys'n'girls, Linux has 'stillborn' flaw, and more specifically, lapse fatale: you can invent as many programming languages of yer choice but you've got to start not with the mission definition (of course, you've all got one and the same mission, ever). If you try to define your own mission, it's too late - it's unimportant what yer mission is…
Ah, Linux… Yeah, Linux!
You've forgot to write proper manuals, guys!
Linux as such
Do you have any proof for Stillborn flaw? What ever your are blaming!!! Show me the proof.
Linux already proved and its used every where. Hence it is proved... Linux is ROCKING..
How small things made Linus to start writing own OS!
This is just great to know that how small things really made Linus to write own OS, starting from basic Hello World to basic terminal program and then actually adding all needed OS functions and he got the whole OS as monolithic kernel!
And without the FTP server, Linux would never be released to wide use. And without GNU, people would never be ported so many open source software to Linux OS (OS == monolithic kernel alone, without any GNU software on it and Linux is not a microkernel what is just a part of the OS!)
Happy Birthday Linus! (even for late).
Happy Birthday Linus
Thanks you open the door, so I can work on a field not controlled by evil M$ and previous evil Unix monsters!
Just found this...
Just found this vid on YouTube:
The guy setup an 40th birthday surprise page for Linus ;-)

Happy birthday to both god &
Happy birthday to both god & linus. I'm writting this on my htc magic mobile which comes with google's android linux. I bought it one month ago, and it costs me ¥2600 RMB. It's usable but not good enough. I need bash and 'build essential' on it most badly.
If there were no Linux
Then we'd all be running BSD. AT&T's many lawsuits against the University of California delayed the public release of BSD long enough to make Linux the winner, but without Linux BSD would be in equally widespread distribution. What would have happened had BSD and Linux come out at the same instant, I won't venture to say.
many happy birthdays, Linus. and a lot of such great ideas. thnx4linux!
Happy birthday Linus, you

Many many happy returns of the day, Linus.
Enjoy Linus!!
Thanks for your contribution to the mankind Linus, Happy Birthday !!
DX = already contains a coprocessor. SX processors did not.
Happy birthday Linux anyway.
That would be true for the 486 processor. In the 386 world the DX addressed memory via a 32 bit memory bus, while the SX addressed memory via a 16 bit memory bus.
Happy Birthday and Thank You
Hope you have many more to come, enjoy and Thank You for all your efforts.

Man, this guy had major balls even back then!
Happy Birthday, God !

Indeed a very happy birthday Linus you're a really strong inspiration for me and my work.
Thanks Linus
I work full-time as a Linux SA for a Fortune 500 company. I wouldn't be here doing Solaris or Windows. Too much headache and too much clicky-clicky. Linux allows me to play with expensive hardware while I work. THANKS LINUS!
From one software professional to another: If none of this had ever happened, if Linus had gone and bought a guitar, or a hooker, or whatever else kids in Finland did with their cash back then, I'd dare say the world would have much higher quality, and far more easily used software. Linux has so significantly furthered software that is exceptionally difficult to use and understand, that it is no longer the domain of just the super high priced modelling and graphics packages that are difficult to understand, but that nearly every free piece of software out there is only "good enough" for whoever wrote whatever function piecemealed into the software. Linux has set back software development decades.
what are you talking about?
what are you talking about? your mumbling is "difficult to understand".
Oh Sure, of course. You'd know this...crap
I dare say that while they say "don't feed a troll" I think sometimes it's best to shove food down them until they burst at the seams.
Today is the day.

Happy Birthday, Linus
To add to this story, in 1993 or 1994 (I forget exactly which year) one member on the Linux mailing list--the founder of the Linux Counter web page if I remember correctly--proposed that anyone interested in contributing to a fund to express their appreciation to Linus for his work could contribute through him and the proceeds would be sent to Linus. The results were that four, maybe five--no more than that--individuals contributed. Linux users really are cheapskates.
Happy Birthday, Linus.

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.

Looping over a list steps through elements contained in any of these entities:
Looping over a file does not open the entire file in memory.
<cfloop index = "index name
" array = "array
" characters = "number of characters
" delimiters = "item delimiter
" file = "absolute path and filename
"> list = "list items
" ... </cfloop>
cfabort, cfbreak, cfexecute, cfexit, cfif, cflocation, cfswitch, cfthrow, cftry; "cfloop and cfbreak" in the ColdFusion Developer's Guide
ColdFusion 8: Added the characters, file, and array attributes.
Attribute |
Req/Opt |
Default |
Description |
index |
Required |
In a list loop, the variable to receive the next list element. |
list |
Required unless you specify a filename in the file attribute |
A list, variable, or filename; contains a list. |
array |
Optional |
An array. |
characters |
Optional |
The number of characters to read during each iteration of the loop from the file specified in the file attribute. If the value of the characters attribute is more than the number of characters in the file, ColdFusion uses the number of characters in the file. |
delimiters |
Optional |
Characters that separate items in list. |
file |
Optional |
The absolute path and filename of the text file to read, one line at a time. This is helpful when reading large text files, because you can reuse the value of the index variable, which contains the current line of the file. When the loop completes, ColdFusion closes the file. |
This loop displays four names:
<cfloop index = "ListElement" list = "John,Paul,George,Ringo"> <cfoutput>#ListElement#</cfoutput>
 </cfloop>
You can put more than one character in the delimiters attribute, in any order. For example, this loop processes commas, colons, and slashes as list delimiters:
<cfloop index = "ListElement" list = "John/Paul,George::Ringo" delimiters = ",:/"> <cfoutput>#ListElement#</cfoutput>
 </cfloop>
ColdFusion skips the second and subsequent consecutive delimiters between list elements. Thus, in the example, the two colons between "George" and "Ringo" are processed as one delimiter.
To loop over each line of a file, use the tag as follows:
<cfloop file="c:\temp\simplefile.txt" index="line"> <cfoutput>#line#</cfoutput>
 </cfloop>
To read a specified number of characters from a text file during each iteration of the loop, use the tag as follows:
<cfloop file="c:\temp\simplefile.txt" index="chars" characters="12"> <cfoutput>#chars#</cfoutput>
 </cfloop>
When you read the following text file, ColdFusion reads 12 characters during each iteration of the loop; the result appears as follows:
Text file |
Result |
This is line 1. This is line 2. This is line 3. This is line 4. This is line 5. This is line 6. This is line 7. This is line 8. This is line 9. This is line 10. This is line 11. |
This is line 1. This is line 2. Th is is line 3 . This is l ine 4. This is line 5. This is lin e 6. This i s line 7. T his is line 8. This is line 9. Thi s is line 10 . This is l ine 11. |
To loop over an array, you can do the following:
<cfset x = ["mars","earth", "venus", "jupiter"]> <cfloop array=#x# index="name"> <cfoutput>#name#</cfoutput>
 </cfloop>

Our experience overall was great...but I don't feel it was anything over the top for the type of property that it is and rate that we paid per night. The location was good...and many of the staff members were very hospitable and kind.. James in in-house reservations was wonderful, as I called to reconfirm our reservation, note our preferences and that it was Anniversary and he blocked us accordingly. Evan and Amanda were truly welcoming at check-in. Colin our Bellman/Valet was very personable and always gave great recommendations. Shamaya in housekeeping was so very friendly and welcoming...always offering us chocolates which was a sweet touch!!
There are a few items that we didn't truly enjoy during our stay... I called in and noted it was our Anniversary during our stay and honestly expected some type of acknowledgement during our time there...and there was nothing. In past stays at luxury properties they have at the least mentioned it during check-in...and then at times upgraded us or even sent a little something with a card up to the room. I felt this was a missed opportunity to WOW!!! The mattresses are definitely an item that should be replaced...as they seemed older and were quite uncomfortable. We opted to reserve a room on the Club Floor to take advantage of inclusions...which we had higher expectations for the Club Lounge. As both food offerings for both "happy hour" and breakfast were very repetitive and seemed "cheap"/low-quality. With staying at a luxury property that boasts a talented culinary team we expected higher quality and more variety.
No refrigerator or microwave in room was inconvenient.
Linda was very accommodating to my schedule and needs. I will definitely be back.
Didn't die. Don't think there were bedbogs.
Mold on bathtub surround and broken glued panel. Bathroom vent blew smoke into my bathroom. Burn holes in bedspread. No maid service two of four nights. Left a night early due to terrible dirty conditions. Glad my wife wasn't with me. Wish there were a minus 5 rating available.
Location - it was where I needed to be. It was cheap.
Paint (?) was peeling off the bathtub. Wasn't sure of the cleanliness. Cigarette burn hole in bedspread. I'm glad my wife wasn't with me, she would have totally freaked out. There were people loitering around in the parking lot across the street very late at night. I have to come to Louisville at least once a year, won't stay here again.
Good breakfast included in your stay and great coffee
Clean nice and great value
No guest laundry
The hotel was oj u guess it could have been cleaner
I didnt like it because i have stage 4 cancer and it wasnt very clean and concedering i sick
The room was amazing. Especially for the price.
There was only a tiny bar of facial soap. We had to go out in the middle of the night and find somewhere 24/7 to buy soap to shower with.
Staff were courteous. The Lobby is really nice. The Room was clean and Bed was firm. TV was in good condition. Shower had a good pressure.
The Parking lot was full of snow. Had not been cleaned for days. The pillows were bad, need new and more firm pillows. The sheets were old, need replaced. They were clean though. Newer room heater units need to be put in. Thicker blankets need to be provided during winter months.
Clean and comfortable stay. Nice selection for breakfast. Close to food,shopping and entertainment.
Could have been a little cleaner but have definitely seen worse.
That the internet was not included. The room was not cleaned till 1:30 in the afternoon. The front carpet outside the hotel was dirty. The rooms were very small.
Closet door would not open
Wonderful suites and comfortable beds
Stay was very nice, price was great!
No protein items with included breakfast, no spa.
All gates to pool were locked and no posting as to why. The continental breakfast was the most minimum you could do (not a good value). Otherwise stay was good but definitely more on a utilitarian level.
The location
The day time staff was rude. I added a night to my stay and they made me check out and come back after check in the next day.
That it had a microwave, and a standard size fridgerator.
They lied about having a digital television. We had to pack and leave even though we booked it for 2 nights. There was no one in the office after a certain time; if there was, no one answered the front desk window. We had to ask for everything we needed!
Early breakfast and cleanliness.
They charged me again at the hotel for the room. I was assured at the desk that this was not done. When back home saw the charge on my card. Have been told it will be taken care of.
Great location, about 3-4 blocks to 4th street, very friendly staff, great continental breakfast
$12 a night parking

We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

In the past, consumers shopping for a portable computing solution were forced to choose between either a tablet with a touchscreen interface and a virtual keyboard or a more traditional clamshell notebook computer with a tactile keyboard. Recently however, Intel® has asked the question, why should the consumer have to choose?
The tablet market has gotten a lot more crowded lately. When Windows 8 was released last October, it became clear that Microsoft was looking to make an impact. Windows 8 features a completely redesigned Start screen with tiles that update in real time, as well as full integration of multi-touch gestures, all of which can be optimized when featured on a tablet.
The ASUS ET2300INTI 23" All-in-One Desktop Computer fully embraces the Windows 8 operating system by integrated multi-touch gestures with keyboard and mouse navigation with its 23" capacitive touch screen, capable of 10-point touch support. 10-point touch support means you can utilize the multi-touch gestures using all of your fingers.
Windows 8 is more than just an updated operating system from Microsoft. While previous versions of Windows usually got a visual bump with each update, it never strayed far from its trademark user interface of a Start button and a task bar.

I hate backing up. I do it, but I hate it. If you're not running back ups, you're courting heartache. My cautionary tale: A few years back, my brother and I were editing our first indie feature. Our data got corrupted. Nothing was backed up. We lost 3 months of post-production -- the entire film. Starting from scratch nearly killed us. Don't let it happen to you.

Should You Ditch LastPass?
Steve Thomas, aka Sc00bz, has brought up some very interesting issues about the LastPass password monitor that are causing some confusion so I thought I'd give another perspective on the issue.
Summary of Steve's points:
- When you use the LastPass web site to login to your account, your web browser will first send a hash with a single iteration, no matter how many iterations you have set for your account. It isn't until this hash fails that the browser tells the user the correct number of iterations to use.
- LastPass has a default setting of 500 iterations (at least at that time, now it recommends 5000 iterations).
- The extension should warn you if it is going to send a hash with fewer iterations than what you have set.
- LastPass does not encrypt the URLs of sites stored in your password database
LastPass hashes your password rather than sending the plain text to the server when you login. The algorithm it uses is sha256(sha256(email + password) + password). This hash, while not necessarily insecure, can be cracked in a reasonable amount of time with ordinary hardware, unless the user has a relatively strong password. It isn't until after this single iteration hash is sent that the LastPass server responds and tells the browser exactly how many iterations it should use; hash is sent again using the correct number of iterations. More iterations means it will take much more time to crack your password. A good minimum number of iterations is 5,000. If you go too high with the number of iterations, some clients such as mobile phones may be very slow logging in.
This is an issue that certainly should be addressed, but it is not serious enough to warrant abandoning LastPass
The mitigating factors here are:
- You are logging in via SSL so the primary threats here are a MitM attack with spoofed SSL certificates, a government warrant, or a government spy agency.
- They still need to crack your hash so if you have a very strong password, even a single iteration hash could provide a reasonable amount of protection.
- A second factor of authentication, country restrictions, blocking tor logins, restricting mobile access, and other settings still protect your account from unauthorized logins, unless the attacker is able to obtain your stored hashes through hacking, warrant, or spying.
One thing I might also add is that the server is telling the client how many iterations it expects, so this does make an attack much easier if someone acquires your hash.
My opinion is that this is an issue that certainly should be addressed, but it is not serious enough to warrant abandoning LastPass altogether unless your inpidual threat model includes the NSA or other government agencies. The LastPass plugin should identify when someone is logging in to LastPass via the web login and provide the client-side script with the correct number of iterations. The server should never respond with this at all. However, if someone is logging in through a web browser that doesn't have LastPass with their account data installed, the server sending the number of iterations is the only option.
The only proper solution here is to have your primary login different than the decryption login, at least for accessing the web interface if not everywhere. That way, the number of iterations is never publicly revealed and sending a single iteration hash would be unnecessary. Other companies such as RoboForm use this method. I have always wanted this feature and I would highly recommend LastPass implement this if it is feasible.
As for the other points, the default iteration count mentioned in number 2 has been addressed and the warning mentioned in number 3 would be a good thing to add if it already hasn't but this would not be possible if using a web browser with your LastPass account installation.
As for encrypting URLs mentioned in number 4, LastPass's response was that this is necessary to grab favicons. Although unencrypted URLs may not be an issue, there certainly are scenarios where you would want these encrypted. LastPass should make this an option for the user.
LastPass does provide strong security controls, although there clearly is room for improvement. If you do not find LastPass to be secure enough, the only reasonable alternative I would recommend is KeePass, which puts you in complete control over your data while still being quite usable. I would not recommend ditching LastPass, but I would recommend that LastPass address these issues. I would also recommend that Steve Thomas keep up the great research he provides to the community.
I have not heard a recent response from LastPass on these issues but would love to hear from them. I will update this post if and when I do.
Disclosure: I am a LastPass user and I get a free month of premium service whenever someone clicks on banners located on this site. I have no affiliation with LastPass and receive no other compensation from the company.

Can someone please tell me what it means when one would rather stay at home reading old magazines than to go out on the town? Well, whatever the diagnosis, I'm finding myself engrossed at night with my new stash of 1930s House & Gardens. There is a lot of good material in them that I'll feature in future blog posts.
So far, I'm intrigued by these five rooms that were created specifically for the May 1934 issue of the magazine. Some of the rooms' color schemes seem a little muddy, but there is a certain charm to the decor. (I especially find the valances to be rather striking.) It's worth noting that Ruby Ross Wood assisted the House & Garden editors in creating these design schemes. That makes the rooms especially intriguing, don't you think?
Because the condition of the magazine was so delicate, I had to photograph the photos rather than scam them- hence the photos' wonkiness. I'm also including the manufacturers of each room's furnishings beneath the corresponding photos. You might be interested to see that some of them are still in business today.

A fascinating post, especially from a historical point. The use of color is the real story here, I think. Unfortunately the product placement got in the way of better design, but it is a great reflection of meant-to-be-achievable (as opposed to the fantasy Art Deco sets of the movies) residential interior design of the mid 30s.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, that the story is fascinating from the standpoint of color, unusual and subtle combinations
which were Ruby's trademark. But it's also nice to
see a pair of comfy chairs near the bay window of
the dining room, taking the edge off the usual grimness of a dining room when not set up for
Thanks Jennifer, for today's treat.

Jerry Brown sets no-nonsense tone for California in inauguration speech
Gov. Jerry Brown urged lawmakers of both political parties to get out of their comfort zones and rise above ideology for the good of the state in a 16-minute inauguration speech Monday.
Robert Durell/Reuters
Los Angeles
Although nearly giddy with obvious delight, Jerry Brown was all business in his 16-minute inaugural speech today. Experts say he wants to set the tone – especially in his crucial first 100 days – that he intends to be a no-nonsense, practical governor who won't squander political capital the way predecessor Arnold Schwarzenegger did, missing early opportunities to take action before goodwill wanes.
"The year ahead will demand courage and sacrifice," Governor Brown said after taking the oath from California Supreme Court Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye. Brown noted the strain the recession has put on California and referred to polls that show most voters believe the state is on the wrong track. He urged lawmakers of both political parties to get out of what he called their "comfort zones" and to "rise above ideology" for the good of the state.
His main themes were drawn from his campaign stump speeches: no new taxes without a vote of the people, restoring as much local control of government as possible, and speaking the truth about the budget – no smoke or mirrors. He spoke of the sacrifices of his own ancestors, crossing the continent in a covered wagon, invoked the name of his own father, former Governor Pat Brown several times, and introduced his 99-year-old aunt as evidence that he's not going anywhere.
