It's a beautiful thing
To Love someone so much.
Loving someone for everything they do,
For every dream that they touch.
Sharing your world,
Sharing your dreams;
Moving your life forward
Hearts bursting at the seams.

New Years Eve, our Senior Year we went to this party together, as friends naturally. At the stroke of midnight, we stood there staring at each other. I mean, this was the kind of thing that could make or break our friendship. I don't remember who kissed who first, but I know that it happened. I think it shocked us more than anything….
Hi Veronica,
Ok, so I just wanted to say, as privately as I could, that you are beautiful. I can't leave you a wall post, or an Instant message because she sees them and gets all jealous of you because she saw part of our AIM conversation, and she got suspicious of what, I don't know. So I just wanted a way to tell you how I'm feeling.
I'm sorry I made you wait to long, I'm sorry if I didn't get the hint, I'm sorry if you mean the world as a person to me and I never told you, I'm sorry if I caught myself falling in love with you and never had the nerve to tell you, I'm sorry for anything I've ever done wrong…I'm sorry I just never told you…
I hope that you can forgive me, and when I come home on March 8th, everything will be ok. I can't wait to see you again, really I can't wait.
With much love…
I want to remove Politics, and any Financial or Ethnic factor from this post. So when you read this, just take it for what it's worth. That's all I ask.
I'm not a religious person. I don't go to Church, and I don't pray nightly. I don't know how many Saints there are, and I couldn't recite one passage, even if you begged me. But that doesn't mean I don't believe in a higher power. That being said, I want to share with the world what's burning through me tonight.
But… more so, and maybe even a little deeper… I feel I need to pray for humanity.
I hope that the world knows of better days. I hope that Americans… and well, no human for that matter, ever has to wake up to the sounds of SWAT teams, military men and women, or bombs exploding. No one should ever have to live in that much fear.
I pray for the young, innocent children of today. I was speaking to a girl today at work, and she said something that really shocked me. She said, "This day and age, it's a bad time to have children. They just can't be safe anymore." She's right and that's incredibly heartbreaking. So with that, I pray that children can be safety sent off to school, without parents worrying that their babies have been shot by some crazy, madman. That children can safety play ball outside their house without being kidnapped or shot. It's just sickening.
I pray that our future brightens. The world has changed so much in the short time that I've been blessed to be alive. Doors have to be locked, dead bolted, and alarms set. Children can't even walk to the mailbox without getting snatched off the street. Dogs are violently beaten and used for sport. People are more weary of helping strangers, because in this day and age, you never know who someone might turn out to be. A hitch hiker, might turn out to be a mass murder. A principal, a drug dealer. A doctor, a rapist. Yes, that's the kind of world we live in today. And it's disgusting.
I'm also going to take a second and be a little selfish and pray for myself. I pray that I have the wisdom to learn from my mistakes. I pray that I have the strength to overcome what ever life throws in my face. I pray that I have the heart to love unconditionally; to forgive without holding a grudge. That I have the courage to smile, when all I want to do is fall apart. That I have the knowledge to change what I can. That I can be fearless, when others need me to be. That I can laugh and brighten up other's days… even if it's just for a moment.
I'm not a Saint. I know that I have a lot of things in my life, that maybe I'm not proud of. I am who I am though. I'm just a woman, who has seen enough hurt, loss, and heartache to last her a lifetime. Doesn't anyone else ever think… enough is enough?
I wonder what it will take to make the world a better place. With every act of gun violence, people are up in arms about gun control laws… and then a bomb explodes and people are screaming for justice. It doesn't have to be about politics. For once, it could be just about what's right, and what's wrong. It's dead wrong for bombs to explode in the middle of our streets. It's dead wrong for a whole city to have to shut down, because one asshole decides he's going to attempt to hide from the US Government. Ha. We saw how that turned out… But at the same token, it's dead wrong for the media to exploit victims, just so they have a story. It's wrong for people to use pictures of victims, just so they can get a few "likes" on Facebook. In fact, I worry there's more wrong in the world, than there is right. And THAT'S what bothers me most.
I can't change the world. I thought I could, but I'm learning the hard way that I can't. So rather than be a naive little girl, I'm going to do the adult thing. I'm going to accept the fact that we live in an imperfect world. I'm accepting the fact that I only have control over me and my actions. If I can be the best person that I can be, then I've already made a difference to the world. I've added more love, understanding, hope, dreams, courage, and wisdom to this world.
I can't change the past, but the future is still up for grabs. I may only be one person, but sometimes, all it takes is one person to make a difference.
My dad. He's been the most influential man in my life. He's always a guiding force behind me, even when I mistake him guiding me with being pushy. He's raised me since I was 9 months old, and even to this day, I know he still sees me as "his little girl." :)
Happiest, was my birthday this year. Saddest, is a tie; the day I put my sweet baby Harley to sleep and had to bury her, and the day that I moved out of my ex's apartment.
Again, my dad. He's taught me so many lessons. From how to change the oil in my car, to how to properly clean a grill. How to power wash a house, mow the lawn, practically make anything I can think of with wood, put in a sprinkler system… how to learn to let stuff roll off my shoulders, be a stronger person. Love my dad.
Probably my best friend, Grace. She just gets me. She stands beside me and just supports me. When everyone is on my case, she's the only one who just lets me cry and stands right beside me.
I learned that you never really know how to rebuild, unless you've been broken. You never truly love until you've had your heart ripped out. I've learned that love hurts, even when you think it's meant to be. First impressions are not always true. Never judge a book by its cover. Nothing lasts forever. People will hurt you, even when they don't intend on it. You will hurt people, even if you don't mean to. Only the good die young. Losing a dog is like losing your best friend.
I remember being so small. I was probably two or three, and I remember my dad filming me. Doing everything. Brushing my teeth, opening gifts, walking, talking, eating, sleeping… he documented my life. I remember my dad always following me around with a camera, telling me, "Wave for the camera babe!"
Probably the fact that I have huge hips, and one day during a game of baseball, when my sister was running towards first base (I was the First Baseman), I threw my hip in my sister's direction, and she ended up slamming into my hip, and landing on the ground, with the wind knocked out of her. While everyone was checking up on her, I was dying on the ground laughing. Yeah, I'm a little competitive. Haha.
I like remember snuggling under the covers with my baby Harley. She snored in her sleep. It was the cutest thing ever. She just loved climbing under the covers with me and sleeping… it got to the point where I couldn't sleep without her for a very long time. Haha.
Getting my first "big girl job."
The night I moved back into my dad's house. Not only did I have to move back home on such a terrible circumstance, but my dad worked nights… so I had to spend the night alone.
When I was younger, I imagined I would grow up and become a teacher. I would be driving a fancy car, wearing dressy work suits, and married by the time I was 25. But as I sit here, typing this out, at the ripe age of 25… I realize, I'm not married. Not even dating. I'm not a teacher. In fact, I went to college for nursing. I'm not driving a fancy car, but rather something practical that gets me to and from work. I'm so much different now, than the younger version of myself imagined.
I want to be remembered, as I lived. With an open heart and open mind. A sweet girl, with a huge heart with a ton of love for everyone I knew.
Yes and no. I regret hurting people. I regret putting myself in situations where I was hurt. I don't regret feeling things, or doing things based on how I felt at the time. I am who I am, because of what I did in my past.
I really can't say. A job, a family…
Sure. Don't be stupid. Read often, make lots of friends, laugh as much as you can. Stay active in your community, give back as often as you can. When your heart breaks, let it repair itself. Don't make promises, you can't ever keep. Wear Suntan lotion! Make mistakes — make lots of them. Don't be afraid to screw up. Try, and when you fail, try again. Kiss with everything you have, love like you'll never love again, and dream like there's no tomorrow. Sing, dance in the pouring rain, rescue a dog or cat or both. Never turn a blind eye. Remember blood is thicker than water. And no matter where you go in life, never forget where you come from.
I grew up in South Jersey, spending practically every summer day on the beaches.
It was rough, but that's the trend now-a-days. I grew up with brothers and sisters and a stepmom and dad…
My grandmother and my grandfather. My cousins. Specifically my guy cousins.
Tons! Most of them involve my dad when he was younger, or my grandmother being ridiculous.
That's probably my favorite love story ever. My grandmother was walking up the street with her friends, and my grandfather was walking up the other side of the street with his friends. My grandfather took one look at my grandmother and said to his friends, "See that girl? That's the girl I'm going to marry one day." And two weeks later… they did. 67 years later, and they're still together. Still so in love with each other. Still so happy. <3
My mom was a cute blonde. She's rebellious, reckless, and stubborn. My dad is a brunette. Over the top, crazy, and yet… grounded.
My mother's mother, is much like my mother. My dad's mother, is — almost like my best friend. Strong minded, very literal, and tough, but she has a great heart. My dad's dad is very much like my grandmother.
That they'll never have to want for anything. That they'll never feel pain or have to experience a hardship. That they'll know more love and understanding than I can ever imagine. That they'll experience more of the world and accomplish every dream they ever have.
I was born in 1989. Yes, I'm an 80s baby. Born in South Jersey, naturally.
My dad and I butt heads a lot, but I love him. My mom and I, don't ever speak. I actually haven't talked to her since I was 18.
I have gotten into trouble but stupid things. Like not doing homework, or being late to school but nothing worse than that though.
I have 8. 4 sisters and 4 brothers. It's funny. When I was growing up, I was incredibly close with my sisters and now that we're grown, I'm closer with my brothers.
Oh my gosh I was such a nerd in high school. I had wavy strawberry blonde hair, braces, and a book glued to my hand. In college, I dropped the braces, figured out the importance of a straightener, and joined every athletic club I could.
I was your typical average child I guess. In general, I was okay.
I have a lot of good ones that involve my dad. Usually it was our weekend getaways, camping. I have a few bad ones too, mostly ones that involve my mom.
I had a few. Roni, which stuck, is basically just my name — shortened. I was also called Ron, Ver, Ica, Ronica, VM, Short Stuff, Elf…
In high school it was Georgianna and Kimberly. Such sweet girls. In college it was Justina and Tiffany. Great girls, who played Volleyball with me. In undergrad, it was Tanya and Ryan. Both of which I communicate with on a weekly basis. Actually, come to think about it… I talk to all of my friends from school.
A day out camping in the middle of the woods, riding quads, and having a bon fire with my dad and his friends.
Grade school – no. High school — yes. College — definitely. Except finals. They sucked.
High school and college I was a straight A Student. Yup, nerd status.
I was athletic in high school and college. I played volleyball, softball, tennis, and rowed crew. I also acted in school plays, and managed both the boy's soccer team and the boy's wrestling team.
The quiet, sweet girl. That's probably about it. Even though I played sports, I still kept to myself.
Lots! I still hang out with my high school friends all the time.
Graduation was the saddest. I remember breaking down the whole day. My happiest was probably the start of my senior year.
Oh tons! I'm actually friends with so many of my teachers outside of school. I still stop by every once in a while to see them.
I absolutely do.
The first time was last summer.
I was 16, it was summertime. I met a guy when I was on vacation with my family. It was 4th of July weekend. I was at the pool and this guy came up to me and we talked and hung out and he asked me to this dance. I went with him, and that's when it happened.
I had one in high school.
No. I believe in lust at first sight. However, I do believe that you can fall much harder for someone than anticipated before you actually intend on it.
I have thought about my ex.
Don't rush into things. Love is a powerful tool. It can either build you up, or tear you down. Trust your instincts. If something feels too good to be true… then it is. Never give up on yourself. Just because someone doesn't love you, it doesn't mean that no one loves you.
I'm lucky I have such a supportive father.
He loves me unconditionally. My dad would support me if I wanted to work in the medical field or collect change under the boardwalk (although he would definitely advise me against it.) He's always been that guiding light in so many ways. He's stood by me when I changed colleges — no matter how many credits I lost making the switch. He understood when I changed majors in college. He watched my dog when I went to work — even bonded with her on numerous occasions. He's taken me anywhere I wanted to go — within reason.
My dad taught me how to fire my first gun, drive a car, parallel park, stain a deck, change the oil in my car, build so many wood work projects… He raised me the best way he knew how, and truth is sometimes I didn't give him the credit he deserves. My dad did what so many fathers in this world don't do. He stood by me when no one else would. Through accidents, tickets, lawsuits, college, break-ups, relationships, the tragic loss of my beloved dog — yes, he stood by me through it all.
But the greatest life lessons my dad has taught me? How to have thick skin. How to be quick to react, yet slow to judge. How to give, unconditionally, no questions asked, to everyone. How to be the absolute most caring person imaginable. How to smile and shrug off the smallest qualms in every day life. How to live, and let die. How to always remain a child at heart, though the body and mind age uncontrollably. How to enjoy the little things in life… like watching poorly made B flick movies. More importantly, how to make the best of every situation.
My dad has helped me become the person I am today, and I couldn't be more blessed to have him.
Isn't it strange how we sometimes don't appreciate something until it's too late?
I'll love you forever Dad.

Project: libnetMD - free USB->MiniDisc software for Linux and Mac
Sonys interface to put music on MD-players is proprietary, cryptographically secured and the file-format ATRAC3 also digital restrictions management inside. http://libnetmd.sourceforge.net/ already reverse engineered all non-encrypted commands, but the most interesting one (copy music digitally via USB on the player) is not yet implemented. The free and open source alternative has stopped active development http://www.unmaintained-free-software.org/wiki/libnetmd due to technical problems. Cracking the DRM seems possible, but certainly not trivial.
Your task, should you decide to accept it, is to revive the project, add full support to libnetMD for putting music from the PC to the MiniDisc-player and adapt the GUI http://www.pdr.cx/projects/gnetmd/main/ to the new functionality so users can try it and verify your achievement easily.

- HiMD-Support
If that efforts included HiMD-support I'd pay up to 100 Euro for funding this project. I could provide alot of information regarding HiMD-recorders what I have learned about them so far.
A good approach for HiMD might be debugging the Transfer-Software for MacOS-X, which is called "HiMD Music Transfer 2.0". This one is not so bloated like the Windows-Software "SonicStage" and also it supports fewer models. The Mac-Software does not talk to the HiMD-Walkman through a special protocol but communicates over mass-storage protocol. In order to support HiMD in Linux one would only need to understand the file-format and the encryption of the music on a HiMD. Again, I would fund HiMD with much higher dues.

- Status
What's the status on the efforts? Will there be NetMD support on Linux any time soon?
by Matthias M. on 7 Jul 2010 14:01
- NetMD and HiMD fully reverse-engineered
YES. I'm very pleased to be able to announce that we have fully reverse-engineered the encryption within SonicStage/OpenMG. This means, that it is now possible to fully support NetMD and HiMD on Linux and other operating systems (even Windows 7/x64 or MacOS).
It is now possible to transfer tracks to NetMD with the Python scripts that we provide. It even supports SP downloads which are not supported by SonicStage! However, the code is still very buggy and experimental, but it works nevertheless. We have one guy in Bergen/Norway working on porting the Python code to C/C++ so that we will have a comfortable GUI soon.
For HiMD, we have currently upload support for all recordings. This means, that you can record tracks on _any_ HiMD Walkman in _any_ format supported by the Walkman and transfer the tracks to your PC with our software. Downloads to HiMD are known to work, however we haven't implemented them yet. We just need more man power and maybe some donations ;). You can donate on our Wiki homepage (https://wiki.physik.fu-berlin.de/linux-minidisc) if you like.
There is one limitation with the whole software at the moment, however.
Both NetMD and HiMD require secret decryption keys which are intellectual property of Sony Corp. or other companies. We have these keys but have not officially disclosed them yet as we might run into legal problems with the aforementioned companies. You can contact us via the provided email address in the wiki and ask for instructions/patches to use the full functionality of our software and receive the secret keys. We're in negotiations with Sony America at the moment who have promised me to discuss the issue with some lawyers and get back to me ASAP. Maybe we can fully disclose everything legally soon.
Please do NOT post questions regarding the keys and the unofficial versions on our mailing lists. Use my GMail address for any questions regarding that. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask them, too.

I just watched "Rome" season 1 for the first time. The best thing I've ever seen on TV, as enjoyable a film experience as I've ever had. The people who produced "Rome" deserve all the credit in the world. Fantastic. Has anyone else seen it?
Every episode. Rome and Deadwood debuted at the same time and both were excellent (Deadwood was actually better IMO) but, unfortunately Deadwood just ended without an ending at least Rome is a fairly complete story and does have an ending. I've been watching Journeyman on NBC. Originally because it stars Kevin McKidd (who is an excellent actor as you no doubt already know) from Rome but, it's a decent show and I'll probably continue to watch it.
I believe that HBO and David Milch are working on 2 movies to wrap up the Deadwood series. At least I hope. It was the best show on TV during its tenure.
Yeah I've been hearing the "4 hour" ending rumor since before the last show aired. But, I doubt it will ever happen. All the actors have moved on.

A hot (no pun intended) topic among my midlife friends is insomnia, which goes hand-in-hand with hot flashes, headaches, irritability, weight gain, and so many other symptoms that come and go as we sometimes blindly find our way through the haze of perimenopause and menopause.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The handshakes and backslaps exchanged in the Miami Dolphins' locker room late Sunday afternoon were gestures of consolation, not celebration, before players quietly slipped out the back door at the end of another disappointing season.
Miami was eliminated from the scramble for the AFC's final wild-card berth by the New York Jets, who thrived in the role of spoilers against their archrivals and won 20-7. The Dolphins blew an early lead to complete a December collapse that will keep them out of the playoffs for a fifth straight year.
More Jets-Dolphins coverage
The Jets made the right move by retaining Rex Ryan after he squeezed eight wins out of a roster that didn't have a single Pro Bowl player, writes Rich Cimini. Story
The Dolphins' disappointing finish to the season raised many questions about where the team goes from here and what changes need to be made in the offseason, writes James Walker. Story
"It's definitely going to take a little while to get over this one," quarterback Ryan Tannehill said.
New York's Geno Smith led three long scoring drives, ran for a touchdown and threw for 190 yards, while two interceptions by rookie Dee Milliner and one by 35-year-old Ed Reed prevented a Miami comeback.
The Dolphins (8-8) squandered a shot at their first postseason berth since 2008 by losing the final two games to non-playoff teams, including a shutout defeat at last-place Buffalo. It was a dismal end to a roller-coaster season that included a four-game losing streak, a bullying scandal that drew national scrutiny, and a December surge that briefly left the Dolphins in control of their playoff destiny -- but turned out to be a tease.
"Our record is 8-8, and that's the definition of average," cornerback Brent Grimes said. "We felt like we could be a much better than average team, so we're disappointed. We messed up in the last two games. We've just got to live with that."
The Dolphins were outscored 39-7 in those final two games. Now owner Stephen Ross must decide whether to shake up a regime led by second-year coach Joe Philbin and sixth-year general manager Jeff Ireland.
The Jets (8-8) celebrated as though they're playoff-bound but will sit out the postseason for the third year in a row. After the game, owner Woody Johnson announced that coach Rex Ryan would return for a sixth season in 2014.
SportsNation: Rex Ryan returning
The Jets say coach Rex Ryan will be back in 2014. Is this a good move? What are their playoff chances? Vote! »
Ryan, whose future had been in question, said Johnson gave him the news before the game. When players were told afterward, they cheered in the locker room.
"I'll say this -- I love being the head coach of the New York Jets, plain and simple," Ryan said. "You put everything you've got into it. I never wanted to go out this way. We've missed the playoffs three straight years, and that bothers me, no question."
The Jets made sure they were joined on the postseason sideline by Miami. The only points of the season's final two weeks for the Dolphins put them ahead 7-0 in the second quarter, but the Jets rallied by mounting touchdown drives of 71 and 80 yards on their final possessions of the first half.
When Smith scored on a 7-yard, third-down keeper up the middle with 3 seconds left for a 14-7 lead at halftime, an excited Ryan ran on the field to celebrate with his players.
Fans were booing in the first half and streaming for the exits in the final minutes. Smith drove the Jets 63 yards to set up a field goal that gave them a 17-7 cushion with 4:18 left, and on the next play Reed grabbed a deflected pass for his 64th career interception to all but seal the victory.
Milliner stopped a Miami threat in the third quarter with a diving interception of Tannehill one play after Mike Wallace dropped a potential touchdown pass that would have tied the game.

The Jets played like a team with nothing to lose, which they were, and eager to spoil Miami's season. They kept the Dolphins off balance with swarming defense and imaginative play-calling, including 294-pound defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson's 1-yard plunge for his second rushing touchdown this season. Running back Bilal Powell threw a 30-yard completion to set up the Jets' field goal.
Dolphins receiver Brian Hartline left the game in the first quarter with a left knee injury, while Wallace and Tannehill found it difficult to click all day. Tannehill overthrew an open Wallace deep, and Wallace slipped and fell on Milliner's first interception.
They did combine for a 5-yard touchdown to cap an 89-yard drive. But the Dolphins' running game sputtered, as usual, and Tannehill finished with a woeful passer rating of 42.1.
"It can't get worse than this," Wallace said. "We let them win. We let them dominate the game. We knew what we had on the line, and we didn't come up with the plays we needed."
Game notes
Hartline limped out of the game after a 25-yard reception that put him over the 1,000-yard mark for the second year in a row. ... Jets reserve CB Kyle Wilson left in the first half with a knee injury and didn't return. ... Before the game, former LB-DE Kim Bokamper, WR O.J. McDuffie, RB Mercury Morris and G Keith Sims were inducted into the Dolphins' Walk of Fame.

Leader of the Opposition V.S. Achuthanandan has demanded an investigation into the death of Industries Minister P.K. Kunhalikutty's former private secretary Abbas Sait.
At a news conference here on Wednesday, Mr. Achuthanandan alleged that the Industries Minister's former aide had died just when he was about to be arrested in connection with an arms deal case. The government should also ensure disclosure of the findings of the investigation into the arms deal and Sait's involvement in it, he said.
Mr. Achuthanandan said there must also be an investigation into the out-of-the-way instruction given to the passport offices in Malappuram and Kozhikode to return to their holders passports cancelled on account of tampering and manipulation. "I am asking the government with all sense of responsibility to investigate the death (of Abbas Sait), the outcome of the probe into the arms deal, and the out-of-the-way instruction given to the passport offices," the Opposition leader said.
Mr. Achuthanandan asked Union Minister of State for External Affairs E. Ahamed to clarify on what criteria special instructions were issued to the passports offices of Malappuram and Kozhikode. The passports were tampered with to traffic girls aged between 16 and 20 years to Gulf countries as housemaids. This was done after the appointment of Mr. Kunhalikutty's former gunman as the passport officer in Malappuram, which in itself was an unprecedented action.
The police had registered 137 cases for passport tampering within a short span of time. Mr. Ahamed and Mr. Kunhalikutty came on the scene at this point and instructed the investigators not to pursue these cases. Simultaneously, the Ministry of External Affairs also instructed the Kozhikode and Malappuram passport offices to return the cancelled passports as they were being renewed. This was against the country's interests. He would soon write to the Union Defence Minister and the Prime Minister on the issue, Mr. Achuthanandan said.

Warnock seeks Idrizaj exit
09 Jan 2008 - 12:14:41
Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock has hit out at Liverpool after being unable to contact the Premier League club about ending the loan stay of Besian Idrizaj.
The 20-year-old has not featured for the Eagles for more than two months, but Warnock still has the Austria Under-21 international among his squad.
He told the Croydon Guardian: "The deal is until the end of the season, but it is pointless him being here because he isn't going to play for us.
"I have asked them to take him back so he can go elsewhere. I am sure three or four clubs will have him, so it seems silly that he stays here.
"Nobody is returning our calls, it is ludicrous. We might send a pigeon up next."
Meanwhile, teenagers Lee Hills and Sean Scannell have both put pen to paper on their first professional contracts with the Eagles, signing deals running until the summer of 2010.

I wanted to create some earrings that would be real attention-getters. So I hand-forged these large copper domes, which are 1 ½" in diameter. I then textured them with a jeweler's hammer and added a patina. Finally, the domes became the home for these lovely deep-ruby coin freshwater pearl dangles.
The domes are hung on my hand-crafted copper ear wires. They are a total of 2 inches long below the ear wires. As a finishing touch, the earrings are coated in a protective spray which will keep them from tarnishing and will protect your skin from being discolored by the copper.
Your earrings will be carefully and safely packaged and shipped to you in a lovely gift box, complete with gold ribbon. Please note that you have several shipping options, just click on the link "More Services" on the right of this page to see your shipping choices and choose the one you wish.
Thank you for visiting my shop and for viewing these earrings. Please return soon. I am adding new items on a regular basis.

Media Stocks Need Catalyst, Look International
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- It's already been a record year for media stocks, and if shares of the country's largest entertainment companies are to go any higher, they'll need a big push.
That push may come from the eagerness of media companies to expand internationally, where broadband offerings are growing and middle classes have more money and time to spend viewing and sharing television and online entertainment. Deals that combine media properties with international networks are likely to get increasing attention, says BernsteinResearch's Todd Juenger.
Media stocks have well outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index
The bump that Scripps Networks
(SNI - Get Report) has enjoyed, since Variety reported on Dec. 11 that the owner of HGTV and the Food Network was considering a merger with Discovery Communications
(DISCA - Get Report) is proof of investor interests in deals that extend brands beyond the North American market, Juenger said. Scripps shares have gained more than 7%, and even Discovery, the would-be acquirer, has gained 1.7%.
To Juenger, the market's apparently sanguine view of the possible merger reflected investors' general approval for media companies looking to expand internationally as much as for a potential merger of Discovery and Scripps Networks. Investors are more apt to applaud a company for spending capital to acquire non-U.S. assets than staying at home to fish around for something that might appear easier to integrate.
Acquiring Scripps would give Discovery a wealth of popular programming likely to travel well abroad while the owner of the Food network would have access to markets throughout Europe. Discovery owns SBS Broadcasting Group, which operates in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, as well as Switchover Media Srl in Italy.
"The growth of non-U.S. markets is already visible, hiding in plain sight at DISCA and [21st Centruy Fox]
(FOXA)," Juenger said in an investor report. "M&A will force investors to think hard about multiples paid relative to growth potential -- and it will be very hard to justify paying premium prices for slower growing, U.S.-centric assets."

"Lost Boy" is a vignette, to serve as an introduction to "Alexander Masterson."
About this project
New Goal, New Rewards.
Our First Stretch Goal
Now that we've met our initial goal in just over a week, we have set a new one for ourselves to help cover our festival submissions and the press kits to go with it. Our new goal is $3,500.
Stretch Goal #1 Special Reward
Like we did as a reward for the 31 backers that got us to our initial goal, we will be printing a limited run mini poster especially for all of our backers of $10 or more for our new goal. If we reach $3,500, everyone will receive a mini poster, completely different from the first run, but totally limited to the backers who support us up until our next goal.
The Boss Special Reward
There's an extra special reward for our top overall backer. Whoever has the courage to contribute the single largest amount will get a one-of-a-kind mini poster. It will be labeled "1 of 1" and you will be the only person with any version of it. And don't expect us to cut any corners on the design! Signed by the director if you choose, or nice and clean for the design purists.
The Story
What is Lost Boy?
Beneath the dry humor of Lost Boy there is a relatable narrative about following your dream. It will be a short, stand-alone film, but will also serve as a prologue to the upcoming feature film Alexander Masterson. So the question really becomes 'who is Alexander Masterson?'
Alexander is an everyman. In the feature film (which will be shot this spring), we will see him resurrect his dream of having his book published, only to have his work contractually stolen by a man financially, mentally, and physically more powerful than him. Lost Boy takes place two years prior when Alexander, like too many people, is becoming disillusioned with the pursuit of his dream.
At what point do you abandon the dream? When is it time to cut your losses? The short will explore this area of the American psyche. Alexander personifies the struggle.
If all goes according to plan, Lost Boy should be a funny, charming and poignant look at what it is to chase the dream, and provide a frame for its full length counter-part soon to come.
For more information on both this short and its full-length sibling, check out the on-going blog, chronicling our progress at alexandermasterson.tumblr.com
Everyone on this project is working on donated time and gear. Most of the money raised will be used for lodging and travel expenses of the crew. Another big portion will be for art direction. We want the film you're backing to look like a film, not a home movie shot on a nice camera. And finally, a nice big slice of the pie is to make sure we can get you all the rewards we promised. We really do appreciate your contributions, so we don't want to turn around and short change you.

This feels more like an ultra-thin lotion rather than your typical serum, but despite a name likely to confuse those who use serums, it absorbs into skin weightlessly and imperceptibly and provides broad spectrum sun protection that includes stabilized avobenzone for reliable UVA screening.
Those struggling with dry skin won't find this moisturizing enough, but otherwise SPF 30+ City Sunscreen Serum's light hydration wears comfortably on normal, oily, or combination skin.
The fragrance-free formula helps improve skin's barrier function and protects against further damage with its mix of antioxidants, anti-irritants and skin-repairing ingredients. The minimal concentration of these ingredients doesn't exactly warrant the price, but some is better than none!
By the way, nothing particular in this product is better for defending skin against the effects of city living vs. living in a rural area. Exposure to UV light (even on cloudy) days is what ages skin the most, and you can't escape daylight no matter where you live (OK, we suppose you could live underground in a bunker or be in Alaska or somewhere else far north during the winter solstice, but that's about it).
A multitasking broad spectrum SPF 30+ daily repair serum for skin exposed to the sun and environmental stresses, both in the past and the present.

Other: Purified Water, Cyclomethicone, Isostearyl Neopentanoate, Glycerin, Ceteareth-20, Polypropylene, Cetostearyl Alcohol, Xanthan Gum, D-panthenol, Octanohydroxamic Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Silica, Tricontanyl PVP, Cetyl Dimethicone, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, PEG-40 Stearate, Tocopherol, Disodium EDTA , Pentylene Glycol, Panthenyl Triacetate, Sodium Lactate, Lactic Acid, Serine, Urea, Sorbitol, Sodium Chloride, Allantoin, Oleyl Alcohol, Ethyl Linoleate
Strengths: All products offer broad spectrum sun protection as an added anti-aging benefit; majority of the products have non-greasy textures that easily absorb into skin; formulas are rated SPF 20 or greater.
Weaknesses: A preservative known to be sensitizing is present in a few of the products; several of the formulas contain potentially irritating fragrant plant extracts; Acai Fusion Lip Balm doesn't actually contain acai.
OK, we have to get the confusion out of the way up front. The name "Supergoop!" sounds like it could be a line of hairstyling products, right? Not even close: Supergoop! is a company selling sun care products!
According to their Website: "We wanted to create a sunscreen that people actually enjoyed using so we created Supergoop! as a fun way to deliver a serious message. Supergoop! has a playful name—just try and say it without smiling— but tries to instill the importance of using UV protection every single day. The name also appeals to children, which is important because we want people to begin healthy sun habits starting from a young age."
Alright, we can get behind that. The folks behind this brand are absolutely right that daily sunscreen use is a must for all ages. Protecting skin from damaging UV rays is the best way to prevent skin cancer as well as keeping skin looking young, smooth, even, and healthy for as long as possible.
Supergoop! also stresses that anything that emits heat (your hair dryer, nail-drying lamps, etc.) also emits infrared-a radiation (IRA) which can wreak havoc on skin by forming free radicals that deteriorate collagen. We can't confirm that your blow dryer or flat iron is causing you to age (in all likelihood that's not the case), but certainly pollution in the air is of more concern. Either way, to combat external causes of aging, it's important to supply skin with ingredients that can offset the damage, and Supergoop! does just that by including antioxidants in their formulas. Unfortunately, they don't always use a high concentration of them, but some is better than none. Still, this isn't an inexpensive line, so you're well within reason to expect more than just a dusting of antioxidants.
We appreciate that Supergoop! strives to produce sunscreens whose lightweight, non-greasy textures easily absorb into skin and don't feel like traditional sunscreens. Such pleasing textures mean people will be more likely to apply sunscreen on a daily basis (sun protection only works if you remember to use it). In that respect, Supergoop! succeeds brilliantly. The majority of their products feel weightless and have either a quick dry-down or pleasantly smooth absorption. Now that's a nice change of pace from your run-of-the-mill sunscreens!
The one claim they fail to live up to with multiple products is formulating with non-irritating ingredients. The line wants you to know their products do NOT contain parabens, oxybenzone, or synthetic fragrances, yet several Supergoop! products contain ingredients you should be concerned about due to their documented potential to irritate skin. Irritation is bad for skin whether the ingredients are natural or synthetic.
Specific to parabens, research has made it abundantly clear that parabens are safe as used but tells a different story about fragrant plant oils such as eucalyptus and lemon oils—both ingredients Supergoop! does use, seemingly without knowledge of how they could hurt skin.
To further clarify, oxybenzone and parabens are nothing to be afraid. Still, we realize that many consumers have been led to believe that those ingredients are bad so it's understandable that Supergoop! avoids the issue altogether by omitting them—but then why include such fragrant ingredients when fragrance-free is best for everyone's skin?
The bottom line: This sun-care-themed brand is one of the few to offer an entire lineup of products that offer broad spectrum sun protection. However, not all the formulas are worthwhile given their potential for irritation. See individual reviews for a play-by-play on which products earn our seal approval.

Super light, great for oily/combination skin or areas that you might not wash everyday. I shower every other day, and leaving this on my neck and chest overnight has never broken me out, like other sunscreens have. To me, it's perfect. You'll probably need to use an additional moisturizer though unless you have oily skin.

4.5 Best You will Find!!!! IrishLion | 19/12/2011 | See all IrishLion's reviews (2) Bough one of these last month for my brother and was great so when my original Xbox one broke I bought two because they were so cheap (even though the price had increased since my first purchase) I looked around and this seller is selling them at least 4 pound cheaper than everyone else and they do just as they say no crackling and an official Xbox product!

AbadeoAckaleo | 30/12/2009 | See all AbadeoAckaleo's reviews (14) The original Wired Headset was a lot better than this updated version.It's a lot easier to pull this one out by accident when moving your head and the mute button is harder to use when in a game.Other than that the sound and qaulity is perfect for Xbox Live and the I can't see why everyone keeps saying it breaks because I had my old one for 3 years and it didn't break once!Just take good care of it and don't move around to much when you play online.
4.5 The Mic's Fine... Chriswilliams04 | 04/11/2009 | See all Chriswilliams04's reviews (11) First of all, when you get randomly disconnected it's xbox live, not the mic. It happens all the time, even if you have a wireless mic, especially in xbox live parties.It's nothing to do with the mic, one thing I would like improved with the microphone is to be a little bit more voice sensitive, sometime I feel I have to shout / raise my voice for people to hear me properly. Everything else with the mic is fine, apart from the fact it's easy to break.But if you look after your things, should be fine.
4.5 Faulty Jewshie | 29/10/2009 | See all Jewshie's reviews (1) they last a month before they start crackling and stop working. I recently bought a new one and made sure i kept it well. But, after a month it just keeps randomly disconnecting me.Avoid

I recently wrote a post about activities and events for your pets and in it I also gave you two good websites for finding restaurants and hotels that were pet friendly. Well, we have hit the jackpot! Dog Jaunt is even better! This website was started by Mary-Alice Pomputius who lives in Seattle. She has compiled information and all sorts of helpful guidelines for traveling with your dog, no matter how long the trip. The one caveat is that some of her advice (e.g. airplane carriers) is geared towards smaller dogs. The website even has a list of places where you might expect pets to be allowed, but they are not.
Besides just hotels and restaurants, Ms. Pomputius gives great information on the following:
- Airplane travel (carriers, pet relief areas in airports around the country, international airline rules)
- Biking with your dog
- Dog travel links that are regularly added to the site
- Dog travel tips and tricks
- Regular and luxury hotels that are pet-friendly in the US and abroad
- Phone apps for pet resources and information
- Sailing with your dog
The list goes on! This site either has the information you need, or the link to find it. There are also several sites for dog gear that Ms. Pomputius likes. I think this website has all the information you would get if you paid for a guide book on traveling with dogs, and it's all free!
Below are some great travel products from sites that Dog Jaunt likes:

Jordan Cobb may have jumped from Torpoint Ferry for a £100 bet, say police
Posted: January 10, 2013
|By Sian Davies
MISSING teenager Jordan Cobb may have been "bet" to jump from a ferry on New Years Eve, according to Police.
At a multi-agency briefing, Detective Inspector Nick West said:
"There are numerous lines of enquiry. One strand that has been talked about is that this may have been a tragic prank.
"There is information from within the group that this is about a challenge if you like, someone in the group has bet Jordan some money that he can jump into the Tamar and swim ashore, obviously it's gone tragically wrong."
"I can't substantiate that through evidential statements at the moment, but somebody out there knows that that was the case and knows that was the discussion they had with Jordan and others on that night and we would appeal to those to come forward."
Jordan has been missing since he jumped from the Torpoint Ferry at around 9.10pm on 31st December 2012.
There are reports Jordan was bet just £100 to leap into the River Tamar just minutes from the Cornish side of the river.
He was travelling with friends to a New Year's Eve Street party in Torpoint.
Emergency services have been searching for Jordan since he went missing - with police, MoD police, coastguards, Dartmoor Search and Rescue, helicopters and divers scouring the river, the shoreline, Plymouth Sound and a number of bays and inlets around the Plymouth and Cornwall coast.
Jordan;s friends and family have also joined the search.
Police are still trying to contact a number of the people who were with Jordan at the time he jumped - scanning social media as one line of inquiry.
DI West said: "We do understand that the figure of about £100 has been discussed, but that hasn't been confirmed. That's one line of inquiry that we're keeping an open mind on.""
He added: "It is still a missing persons inquiry. Obviously, we will keep all hope that Jordan is out there alive and well.
"If this is a prank that's gone not wrong, he's jumped into the river and he's embarrassed to the fact he's caused all this commotion and all this activity, his friends' involvement and his family's distress – (if) he's just hiding low somewhere, then I would appeal for him to come forward.
"As time goes by, we have to be realistic. We will never forget that he is missing. If this is a tragic act that's gone wrong, then lessons need to be learned from it."
The search is continuing today, following a briefing this morning.
Chief Superintendent Chris Singer said: "The quiet determination that has been shown here to try and find Jordan and take him home to his loved ones is testament not only to the fact that this tragedy has touched a large number of people, but also to the professionalism displayed by the partner agencies involved.
"I'm sure, in due course, our efforts will be rewarded."

Evans` luck will change - Cresswell
Sheffield United striker Richard Cresswell has tipped Ched Evans to fill the void left by Darius Henderson's injury.Henderson could be absent for six months due to a torn hamstring, and although former Manchester City forward Evans endured a poor campaign last season with just four goals in 36 appearances, Cresswell has tipped the Welshman to take this season's Championship by storm."If Ched gets a couple early on then I honestly reckon he'll go on to get 20 throughout the season," Cresswell told the Sheffield Star."There's no doubt in my mind about it because that's the sort of talent he's got. Ched was massively unlucky last year. I've lost count of the number of times he hit the woodwork, so he's not had the best of luck."But that changes, and so long as he keeps being confident in himself then Ched is going to have absolutely no problems. He's a huge asset for this club."

Very accommodating, maitre'd was great Again, food was not bad, but not the caliber that we were expecting. |
Food was just ok - not bad, but not great either. Server/service was a little slow, ambience is so/so. For the multi course tastings, the expectation we has was much higher than what we received. This was our third time there - not sure we will go back (kept trying "one more time" to see if experience improved. |

Food was excellent, service was great. Loved they had local wines. |
Location is challenging - hard to find it within the various office complexes. |
Feb 25, 2014 Kim Michigan, United States | |||||||
My previous 2 visits were pleasant and food was very good. |
waited a long time between courses and when they arrived they were put down in a rushed manner. Did not seem like a special price break. Very small portions. |
Feb 10, 2014 Debra Michigan, United States | |||||||
I was very appreciative of the relaxed atmosphere during the meal. There was time between courses, allowing us sufficient time to enjoy each course and still be able to have sustained conversation with the other couple we were dining with. We enjoyed the courses selected for the tasting menu very much, not only by their taste, but also their texture and presentation. |
We were very appreciative of the sommelier's assistance, who, along with other employees seemed to really enjoy what they were doing. Allow yourself a chance to take advantage of the happy hour deals before dinner too. |

In practice, unless you have several hundred users hitting a machine at once, someone trying to guess a password manually is going to show up pretty well. Users don't actually mess up all _that_ often.

Disabling ARP is not going to be particularly useful in most environments. Generally if you're _that_ worried about it, you should be demanding use of encrypted protocols for all services because you're basically making the assumption that the local segment is compromised. Proper crypto isn't going to allow MITM attacks to happen, so if you actually do that, you no longer need to disable ARP in the first place (and reduce administrative _hassle_). -- The email address above is phony because my penis is already large enough, kthx.
