The Royalty Contest [1 YEAR PREMIUM] CONTEST OVER!EDIT: Winners can choose to take points rather than premium, if you like, and you are welcome to have the prize given to a friend, if you would prefer.~~The Royalty Contest~~Hey guys!It's fast-approaching Christmas, which is a time that a lot of people enjoy. In the spirit of things, we wanted to run a Christmas contest, but, by scanning over DeviantArt and other groups, we saw that, naturally, a lot of other groups had the same idea. We don't much fancy running a contest that's almost identical to other contests on DA – a simple Christmas-themed pony contest is something that you can take part in elsewhere. We also realised that, if we did do yet another Christmas pony contest, we'd likely see a lot of people submitting a single contest entry to several similarly-themed contests. It would be the natural thing to do, and so we wouldn't necessarily blame anyone if t

Tactical Pants - Galls A popular choice for public safety professionals, the Galls Tactical Pants are...
The Model 110 has defined Buck's folding knife line for years. And with good reason.
Anyone who has seen the 24/7 can tell you, this gun really takes the requirements of law enforcement to heart.
Called "For Those Who Serve," the knives are all aesthetically pleasing, hard-use tools with price tags that aren't out of reach for soldiers, paramedics, and cops.
Research shows that properly calibrated ordnance gelatin is a highly reliable tissue simulant. The ordnance gelatin used by the FBI is mixed in 20-pound blocks using the following recipe.
Last June POLICE magazine published an editorial that asked readers to let us know if their agencies had policies that prohibited officers from carrying backup guns. We promised to contact these agencies and ask the reasons for the policies. Calls were made and the following is our agency-by-agency report.
One of the biggest problems with the concept of backup guns is that police administrators have a tendency to confuse backup guns with smaller, often less reliable "hideaway guns."
There are tens of thousands of personally owned AR rifles sitting in patrol cars, purchased in good faith by officers tired of being undergunned, but unless that initial purchase is followed up with regular training, the situation might be best described as an accident waiting for a time to happen.
And for a knife that can handle the worst-case scenarios on raids, search-and-rescue missions, you name it, I like the Camillus and Becker Knife and Tool Tactool/BK3.
It's not hard to make a strong case for backup guns. The basic contention of backup gun proponents is that old saw that goes: If you absolutely have to have one of something to ensure your survival, then you better have two.
One thing I, for one, never gave much thought to is the ammunition we are most likely issued by our respective departments. There are so many different brands, calibers, and performance characteristics to consider that it's mind boggling.

Concerned citizens want the notorious leader of North Korea tried at the ICC. Are they on the right track? Or, are they only dreaming?
The ICC can only prosecute someone who is a citizen of, or has committed a crime in, a member state. — which North Korea is not. A state can voluntarily accept the court's jurisdiction, but as long as the Kim dynasty rules, the chances are almost nonexistent.
An exception is if the U.N. Security Council unanimously orders an investigation, as with President Bashir of Sudan. But with North Korea's ally China holding a Security Council veto, the odds of that happening to Kim Jong Il are slim. And even Bashir will not be arrested unless he leaves the country or the Sudanese government gives him up.
"It's most likely a symbolic movement," Park Ki-gab, a law professor at Korea University, said. Given the issue of jurisdiction with North Korea, Park believes the Security Council is still the committee's best bet.
The U.N. General Assembly adopted in November a human rights resolution sponsored by the U.S. voicing concern about detention and torture among other human rights abuses in North Korea. But for an ICC investigation, the issue would need unanimous approval from the Security Council.
"With China there, do you think it's going to be at all possible?" Park said. The stalled nuclear talks with Pyongyang is also not a favorable condition for the activists. Addressing human rights issues could potentially cause the North to cut itself off from the international community instead of engaging in dialogue for denuclearization. "It's a different world when you're talking legal issues and politics," the professor said.
Do is more optimistic. In the recent meeting with officials from the ICC, he said, the group was told as long as there is concrete evidence of abuses that the court's prosecutors will review their case.
The activist said his committee has more than 100 witnesses ready to talk to prosecutors if necessary.
"If the court starts to at least look into the issue, Kim Jong Il will start realizing that he can face consequences," Do said. "There are also people within North Korea that are against the leadership. We're trying to send them a message."

Clive Palmer: from debutant to 'devil'
PUBLISHED: 11 Apr 2014 19:07:00 | UPDATED: 14 Apr 2014 10:33:40PUBLISHED: 12 Apr 2014 PRINT EDITION: 12 Apr 2014Clive Palmer now has the power to veto almost any policy put up by Tony Abbott. Photo: Glenn Hunt
Mark Ludlow
Queensland mining magnate and professional troublemaker Clive Palmer is in an effusive mood.
Thanks to the repeat West Australian Senate election last weekend, the resources baron-turned-politician is now the man with the power to veto almost any policy Prime Minister Tony Abbott wants to push through for this country.
It is further vindication of Palmer's switch to politics. That election result, which gave the Palmer United Party a third Senate seat, confirms what has been on the cards since last September: PUP will hold the balance of power in the upper house from July 1.
Palmer, casually dressed in R. M. Williams pants with check shirt, blends in with locals at Paradise Point, on the northern tip on the Gold Coast, as he greets AFR Weekend at one of his favourite local Japanese restaurants. Across the Broadwater lie the exclusive mansions of Sovereign Islands where Palmer and his family own a string of multimillion-dollar properties.
But at the restaurant on The Esplanade – squeezed between a pharmacy and barbecue chicken joint – the Japanese staff do not recognise Palmer, treating him like any other grey-haired local wanting some lunch.
When I asked if he lived nearby, a defensive Palmer says he lives on the Sunshine Coast in his electorate, a sore point given recent media reports criticising him for not spending enough time in the seat of Fairfax. Then he adds he has properties all over the world and proceeds to name some of them. ("Gold Coast, Tokyo, Beijing, New York.")
Defying his critics
Part of the reason for Palmer's good mood is that he continues to defy his critics, both in the political world and the media. "It's unprecedented the negative campaign I've had against me. In the Liberal Party campaign in Western Australia I was pretty much the devil," Palmer says as he attempts to grab the attention of the waitress to order.
"Suimasen?" Palmer calls out before quickly ordering. As in politics and business, Palmer knows what he wants – salmon starter and then a teriyaki salmon bento box. He passes on a glass of wine and orders sparkling mineral water and green tea.
The Melbourne-born and Gold Coast- raised Palmer (educated at Aquinas College and Southport State High School) made his first millions selling real estate on the Gold Coast in the 1980s, before a timely diversion into resources, snapping up iron ore tenements in WA and coal assets in Queensland.
He also owns a nickel refinery in Townsville and the Palmer Coolum resort, and is a regular fixture on BRW's Rich List. He was valued at $2.2 billion last year, though critics question if he is really a billionaire.
Regardless, he is a wealthy man and having just turned 60, could have slowed down and enjoyed his later years. But politics is in his blood; he has been a member of the National Party since he was 20 and worked as a media spokesman during the Joh Bjelke-Petersen era.
Palmer doesn't strike you as a person who likes being idle. "I'd like to be part of the discussion," he says.
"In the final analysis, I'm an Australian, I live in Australia and I want to contribute to a country I'm a part of," he says.
Circus act
Palmer's surprise entry into federal Parliament last year was dismissed by many as a circus sideshow, but the Palmer United Party's impending control of the balance of power in the Senate is now a serious problem for the Abbott government.
Palmer says the Coalition is still in shock over the WA election in which he spent $3 million on advertising. The result confirmed the Coalition must negotiate with the PUP bloc of three senators – former rugby league player Glenn Lazarus from Queensland, former soldier Jacqui Lambie in Tasmania and former businessman Dio Wang in WA – as well as the Australian Motorist Party's Ricky Muir who has formed an informal alliance, to get major legislation passed.
Palmer may still be lampooned in the media, but he says Prime Minister Abbott and his senior ministers now have no option but to take him seriously.
"The Liberals can't deal with it. They are a little bit shell-shocked; they don't know what to do," he says. "They have to deal with reality; that's what it boils down to. Any legislation proposed by the government and opposed by Labor, we'll have to consider."
He revels in the fact senior Liberals who used to bag him, are now offering to take him out to lunch. So does he expect an invite from the Prime Minister to catch up?
Bottom feeder
"He wouldn't contact me. He sees me as a lonely bottom-feeder," says Palmer matter-of-factly.
Would he accept an invitation for dinner at The Lodge?
"Yes, provided there was a good menu on the table," he says.
Palmer says the PUP has no intention of holding the Senate to ransom, along the lines of former Tasmanian senator Brian Harradine who mastered the art of pork-barrelling for his home state during negotiations with the Howard government.
"We don't want to use leverage in a bad way. We want to see the Senate function in a positive way," he says.
As with any high-stakes poker game, Palmer is not revealing his hand just yet. But he does have his wish-list of pet projects. He bristles at the suggestion his party is a policy-free zone, pointing to the party's website.
He cites Abbott's decision just after last September's election to ban lobbyists from holding elected party positions as PUP's first policy victory.
Blurred line
The blurred line between lobbyists and party officials was part of the reason Palmer resigned from the Liberal National Party last year to set up his own party. (Although a massive falling-out with Queensland Premier Campbell Newman and Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney – partly over his mining projects, partly over ego – was the main catalyst for becoming a new political force.)
The Independent Commission Against Corruption last week entangled the Queensland Premier with allegations a $5000 donation was required to meet him when he was Brisbane Lord Mayor. (Newman says he didn't know about the payment.)
"I think there are worse things going on here [in Queensland]," Palmer casually drops into conversation. This is a classic Palmer tactic, tantalisingly suggesting there is a grand conspiracy lurking behind most issues. This time, he claims there is high-level corruption in the Newman government which he suggests he will reveal in a drawn-out political striptease before next year's state election.
In between mouthfuls of salmon, Palmer says voters were attracted to the "middle of the road" PUP because they were sick of the major parties, and he speaks his mind.
"Ninety-five per cent of MPs have become cardboard cutouts," he says, laughing at his own analogy. "The reality is, in the political system in Australia, members of Parliament are not allowed to voice their opinions within the confines of the two-party system.
"In my case, I don't have those restrictions so I can answer questions honestly."
Evil influence
Palmer is an amiable lunch guest and will wax lyrical about any topic you throw at him, even if you often wonder about the validity of some of his answers. He obsesses about the perceived evil influence of News Corporation and Rupert Murdoch in their campaign to bring him down, simply because he dared to no longer back the Coalition. The only time he loses his patience is when I again raise a common criticism about there being "no meat on the bones" of PUP's policies.
"Who gave Tony the meat on the bone? Who gave Tony the mining tax [repeal]? They all came from me," he spurts.
He says he will back the scrapping of the carbon and mining taxes but only if the Abbott government reverses its plans to shelve welfare payment for orphans of war veterans. (The $250,000 policy was to be funded from the proceeds of the mining tax.)
Palmer's manifesto includes moving the date for paying provisional tax to later in the financial year to keep more money in the economy and making the first $10,000 interest on a home loan tax deductible.
Like another fellow Queensland media tart before him, long-serving former Labor premier Peter Beattie, Palmer knows how to stay in the spotlight, exploiting the cult of Clive to gain media attention and win votes.
And like "Teflon Pete", Palmer shrugs off the constant attacks over his credibility – from disgruntled PUP candidates and unpaid bills from the last election campaign, his voting record in Parliament, to the profitability of his Townsville nickel refinery or court battles with Chinese company CITIC Pacific over his iron ore tenements in WA – as mere distractions.
So could PUP become a genuine third force in Australian politics or, as his critics argue, will he become a one-term wonder and his Senate team splinter once sworn in?
Real force
"I think we can become a real force to be reckoned with," he says. "It's not about me – they [the senators-elect] realise that collectively they've some influence; alone they've got nothing."
The PUP Senate team, he says, will be around for the next six years, even if he gets voted out at the next election in 2016. (He won his seat by 53 votes). Palmer predicts the party will pick up 24 seats at the Queensland state election and five to six lower house seats at the next federal election.
Passing on dessert, Palmer says he's becoming accustomed to life as a politician, although his wife and young family would have preferred he didn't do it. "They said there's no future in it," he confesses.
He shrugs when I ask him how he's coping with fatherhood again. His youngest daughter, Lucy, is now three months old. He and his second wife, Anna, have another daughter, Mary, five. There are two adult children from his first marriage.
"Rupert [Murdoch] did it at 78. I think children are a blessing from God," he says.
He refuses to accept his $195,000 backbencher salary and mostly flies to Canberra on his private jet rather than taking tax-payer funded commercial aircraft.
"I'm there for free at the moment. I'm not paid. I don't see anyone else doing that," he says. He laughs at the fact his office receives a monthly call from the Australian Electoral Commission asking when he's going to cash the $2.4 million cheque for the votes it has received at the last election. He says it's sitting in a drawer in his office.
Is he planning to cash it? Palmer pauses. "I don't know," he says.
And with that, he squeezes himself into his dark blue Mercedes sports coupe and drives off.

There are quite a few bannings going on over there these days... I don't agree with many of them, but, what are ya gonna do? All I can think is... losing for three straight seasons takes it's toll. Raider fans are a bitter lot these days, and our bitterness seems to breed a lot of short fuses and malcontent... even amoung ourselve's.
Hopefully, we will start to turn things around next year. Stop in and try it again... there are quite a few very knowledgeable and intelligent people to talk with... just be a little respectful, and you will be more than welcome at RF.net.
Aplogies for not getting back to you on this Silver.
My I.P is banned from RF.net so I wont be making any more appearances there - which is probably good for my blood pressure!
They've been great for a while now, three Super Bowls' worth of great. But only this season have the New England Patriots become The Show, the must-see team of stars, pretty boys and reformed bad boys. Suddenly, the Patriots are not simply great; they're compelling, fascinating, appearing to be almighty and a touch lawless.
The Patriots didn't bother with swagger to start this NFL season; they went straight to defiant. Either you're one of them or you're about to get crushed.

Hopefully the sun will still be shining wherever you are this winter, either from the glare of pretty powder or white-beach sand. Either way, here are six options, clockwise from top: Ksubi Eye's dramatic pink-framed shades are also polarized, while Valentino's faux-horn frames will look smoking-hot on safari (though the animals may take offense). The stitch effect of Face à Face's Sabba frames brings a bit of Parisian tailoring to any outfit, and you can always count on Marc Jacobs for a fashionable dose of 100-percent-UV-protection aviators. Giorgio Armani takes rose-colored glasses into retro territory with butterfly frames.

A Temporary Solution (Courtesy of Michael Giltz)
I'm walking around in a haze of sleep deprivation. so for the moment, I'll pass you along to friend and fellow Ira voter Michael Giltz, who did a superb job as vote keeper (Jeb Bush, watch out!); Michael has a comprehensive report on the Iras on his excellent blog POPSURFING.COM. As soon as I get my bearings again I'll add my own ballot, my ten-best list and a few final thoughts on 2007. In the meantime, to all a good(yawn)night.

About MeThanks for stopping in:-)
For health and family reasons i am currently only doing a very limited number of shoots each month. I try hard to create a wide variety of images and prefer crazy creative concepts to traditional fashion / glamour. I'm always looking to expanding my portfolio by working with fun and interesting people. Fun being the key element of any shoot. I believe strongly that a photo shoot is a joint effort. If you have an idea for a shoot let me know and we'll work it out together:-) Photography is my passion, not my profession. I have a full time non photography related career. Photography is a hobby. That does not mean that I am GWC, do not take photography seriously or produce anything less than a professional quality image. I do not pay models! Currently i am trying to focusing on concept work, outdoors, on location or in the studio; in particular shoots with interesting props or multiple models. Look forward to working with you. Lists

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant is one of the most durable players in the league today. He's managed to thrive under pain and injury and will do so again Friday night. After going down with a sprained left ankle which was labelled "severe", many believed Bryant would miss game time, at least a couple of games. The Black Mamba and the Lakers have other plans.RT @lakersreporter: Kobe Bryant is officially in the starting line up.— Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) March 15, 2013STARTERS: @stevenash, @kobebryant, @mettaworldpeace, Earl Clark & @dwighthoward vs. Hill, Stephenson, George, West & Hibbert. #GoLakers— Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) March 15, 2013 The Los Angeles Lakers look to secure a playoff berth as the season winds down. They currently sit at the eighth seed with the slightest of marginal advantage over the Utah Jazz. Kobe has been playing well and he is essentially driving this team towards victory as he's done in the past.Usually, when a player suffers a reported "severe" sprained ankle, they take time to heal, say a couple of weeks before they come back. Even with Kobe Bryant and his noted resiliency, some believed that he would miss even a couple of games. But the Black Mamba does not seem to rest, and he's back on the court Friday night to help get the Lakers another win.Follow @hoopsinjurynews!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="http://www.nbainjurynews.com//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Let's toast to life and new possibilities, like the possibility your beloved toaster will eventually break and you'll find yourself buying yet another replacement. Maybe that replacement will be the Cuisinart Exact Heat Convection Toaster Oven. How many readers have purchased more than five toaster ovens in your adult lifetime? Based on my experience, I'm guessing many of you are toaster-oven-buying veterans. Feel free to comment with your personal best ~ I've probably purchased at least six or seven by now and I'm only 43... but who's counting?As you can see, I'm somewhat jaded when it comes to buying toaster ovens, because eventually they have all broken ~ from my Krups FBC2 Toaster Oven to Black & Decker, Delonghi to GE. So why should I get excited about a purchase that drained my wallet of $150? Well, I've been toasting, baking and broiling foods in my Cuisinart Convection Toaster Oven Broiler TOB-195 for several months, which is long enough for me to recommend it as a solid performer in the small appliance world. Looks and Size ~ a nice packageCuisinart model TOB-195 looks as good in person as it does in the box. Its stainless exterior is shiny enough, and I like that the sleek control panel is silver colored (mine is more grey than silver, but it still matches). The toaster looks modern and matches my other stainless appliances nicely. The inside is covered with black, non-stick coating, with a removable, metallic crumb tray at the bottom and a fairly sturdy rack. The dishwasher-safe crumb tray is decent, but I wish you did not have to turn the toaster around to remove it. There are two slots to position the wire rack, which can be inserted either upside down (concave) or right side up (convex) to raise or lower your food from the burners. There are two slender heating rods on both the top and bottom of the oven. These rods are smaller than the rods in my former Krups, but they appear sturdy enough. Finally, the oven comes with a heavy-duty metallic broiler pan and broiler rack, which is square instead of rectangular. The dimensions of the pan are about 12" by 12", which reveals that this oven's width is equal to its depth. This ample footprint confirms Cuisinart's promise that you can:"Broil a salmon fillet, bake a 12" pizza or an apple pie. The extra-large .6 cubic-foot capacity even has room to toast 6 bagel halves!"Overall, this Cuisinart fits nicely on my countertop, being large enough for the things I want to toast or broil, and small enough to leave plenty of room for maneuvering.Functionality ~ a solid performer.Toasting~ I've been very pleased with this Cuisinart's efficiency and ability to heat up quickly and toast my food accurately. The toaster is very simple to operate ~ you don't need a college degree, or even to read the manual, to use this toaster! We've been toasting bagels, bread and English Muffins practically every morning, and I've yet to burn a single piece of toast in my Cuisinart. There are seven levels of browning to choose from, with the default being 4. And, the toaster remembers what level you chose previously, so you can keep your preferred setting. The five beeps that signal completion are neither loud nor obnoxious. For bagels, just touch "bagel" ~ this setting is every bagel lover's dream. Also, there's a button which increases the time for 4-6 slices, ensuring they are not underdone. According to Cuisinart, they have upped the technology on this model to "electronically monitor and adjust the oven's internal temperature to provide consistent toasting results from one use to the next." I agree, I've been very pleased with perfectly browned toast every single morning. The only minor nuisance is that toast doesn't slide off the oven rack easily (when inverted), being impeded by the rim. I get around this inconvenience by using tongs, though.Baking ~ Regular or Convection: The regular bake option is the setting to use for baking pizzas and other savory items (they include recipes for roast chicken, pork chops and cornish hens). You can adjust the temperature in 25 degree increments. I have used the bake function to heat up french bread, croissants and apple turnovers. I often prefer the convection setting because it circulates hot air around the oven chamber for quicker cooking, although it's definitely a bit noisy. I find convection useful for baking potatoes and reheating frozen pizza, which have both turned out perfectly in this model. The user guide comes with over a dozen tasty-sounding recipes that I may actually try, like Lemon Blueberry Loaf Cake and Simply Roasted Salmon and Fennel. Broiling: Automatically sets the oven to broil at 500 degrees Fahrenheit. I've used this setting for browning the top of my macaroni and cheese casserole, and the result was an evenly browned and crispy crust. I also used the broil setting to brown a tuna-noodle casserole, but my family nearly disowned me for making that, and I promised to never make or mention said dish again. Longevity ~ That is the question.This is a tricky question to answer. By the time this oven croaks, and they all seem to die eventually, the model will probably no longer be available. The oven has several features that imply durability ~ it's pretty heavy and stays put on the countertop. It didn't come with any moving parts or plastic to break. The touch controls are easy to press and don't have any gaps where food residue could collect. It also comes with a Limited Three-Year Warranty, which means that:"If your Cuisinart Exact Heat Convection Toaster Oven Broiler should prove to be defective within the warranty period, we will repair it, or if we think necessary, replace it." However, you must send the toaster to them with proof of purchase and an additional $10 payment for this warranty service. If you're lucky enough to live in California, you can bring the toaster oven back to the store where you purchased it for warranty service.Upon reflection, this warranty seems as good or better than most I've seen on the market. I generally purchase small appliances at my neighborhood Bed & Beyond store, because I can return the product for a full refund within one year, should it fail to work properly in any way. Believe me, I have returned many a failed or poorly functioning product (including several toasters), and if this toaster should fail within the year, it's going back from whence it came.
Amount Paid (US$): 144

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - JANUARY 28: Venus Williams of the United States of America looks on in her semifinals doubles match with Serena Williams of the United States of America against Lisa Raymond of the USA and Rennae Stubbs of Australia during day eleven of the 2010 Australian Open at Melbourne Park on January 28, 2010 in Melbourne, Australia. (Photo by Lucas Dawson/Getty Images)
(November 27, 2012) DANIEL ISLAND, S.C. – Venus Williams, former World No. 1 and 2004 Cup Champion, has officially entered the 2013 Family Circle Cup. Williams joins World No. 9, Samantha Stosur, in the player field assembling on Daniel Island. The 41st Family Circle Cup will be contested March 30th – April 7th, 2013 at the Family Circle Tennis Center.
"Venus is a tennis superstar with adoring fans and passion for the game, which makes it so exciting to watch her compete," said Eleanor Adams, Family Circle Cup Tournament Manager. "I know our fans at the Cup are eager to have her return again in 2013."
Williams is currently ranked No. 24.
"I'm thrilled to return again to the Family Circle Cup," said Williams. "2013 will mark my sixth time competing in Charleston. It's a tournament that feels like home to me, and one that I always look forward to playing in."
In her five previous appearances in Charleston, Williams has accumulated an impressive 14-4 record. In 2012, she made it to the quarter-finals with a win over Anastasia Rodionova, but lost to Samantha Stosur. Williams is one of five women to win the Cup in a debut appearance.

Seedbox vs VPN vs newsservers vs other? (self.filesharing)
submitted 2 years ago by thisisnotmelegit
Hey all.
I was wondering what is the most secure way of keeping my online filesharing private.
Seedbox: Buy a box in another contry, and let that box download/upload, and then trough a secure and encrypted ftp download the files to my home server.
VPN Buy a service that wil mask my ip as another, and then just contiune what i'am doing from my home server.
Newsserver To be frank, i dont know anything about the news servers. just been told that it should be a good way to share without being monitored. but i have a hard time understanding how it can be safe.
Other Is there a alternative to any of the above?
In advanced thanks for your help :) - i know reddit wont let me down.
//This is not me... legit.
[–]ayetoopie 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Other: I2P. In short: I2P is a free, open-source, decentralized, anonymous darknet.
VPNs, seedboxes, private Bittorrent sites and the like have one thing in common: they security they provide is mostly based on trust and obscurity. There are anonymization networks that do not rely on trust but rather on their technical architecture to provide anonymity to their users. Tor is one such network, but as has been mentioned already, you should not use Tor for filesharing. However, there is another anonymization network that does allow for filesharing. This is I2P. Your data is sent through multiple other computers running I2P (called I2P routers) before it reaches its final destination. Because the information is encrypted from end to end, no one will be able to see what you are sending, nor will they be able to tell what the source of the data or the destination is (a technical explanation of this is beyond to scope of a quick introduction. visit i2p2.de for more information).
I2P already has a small but active torrent scene. At the moment, you will not find the same amount of content as on the clearnet, but that of course will increase when the I2P torrent scene grows.
It should be noted that I2P is considerably slower than clearnet torrents. If you're all about speed, I2P probably isn't for you. But if you agree that trading off some amount of speed for a highly secure and anonymous way of filesharing is worth doing, then you should definitely give I2P a try!
/r/i2p is a good resource to begin exploring I2P. Feel free to post any questions or thoughts you might have about I2P there.
Note: You cannot use I2P to download torrents from the clearnet, yet.
[–]bittorrent_over_i2p 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
This route is simply the best. It's cross-platform(java), free, encourages fast speeds, and designed so that more users = a stronger network.
[–]mrw0rm 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
I can't comment much on newsservers since I haven't used them much, but when comparing vpn and seedbox, take into consideration these things serve two different purposes:
With all that in mind, especially if keeping ur own machine running and bandwidth is not a problem, I'd go for a vpn, since that would give you more possibilities to use it for privacy and should be cheaper than a seedbox.
[–]thisisnotmelegit[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I only have a 20/2 mbit line, - so I think the seedbox would be the best solution, but still not completly sure on how safe it is :)
Any suggestions to where to get vpn´s/seedboxes?

First of all, no one says "newsserver." Call it usenet. And it's completely different from your other options. A VPN will allow you to do anything online with an obscured IP, a seedbox will let you download files (usually torrents only) from a remote IP and then download them to your computer (not a very efficient process, IMO), but a usenet is a completely separate network.

Jill McLaughlin wrote a new diary post: Manning and Snowden Acting on Their Conscience: We Must Act On Ours
By Jill McLaughlin, World Can't Wait Steering Committee Protestors in Hong Kong supported Edward Snowden.

Jill McLaughlin wrote a new diary post: There As In Here: Demanding An End To The U.S. War & Occupation in Afghanistan While We Occupy Together
As an activist and organizer against the U.S. War/ Occupations and torture I see the potential for truly changing the world as it now is as we approach the 10 year old U.S. war and occupation of Afghanistan. This feeling of excitement and the sense there is something beautiful and big blowing in the air [...]

Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff for the DS won't come packed with any official NFL teams or players, so it seems odd that the San Francisco 49er Gold Rush girls were called in to help kick off the unveiling of the game. But we're not complaining and neither should you.
Scroll onward for shots of the Girl Rush girls doing their thing. There's lots of gratuitous gyrating and ample cleavage to help remind you how much you loved tossing long bombs with Joe Montana in the original 8-bit classic.

Update: From the comments: Patrick Mueller suggests reviewing potential retailers here: http://www.eyeglassretailerreviews.com/index.htm. He also notes that he picked up some prescription shades at EyeBuyDirect.com. For those of you in the U.K., David A. recommends Glasses Direct.
About three months ago, my then one-year old snapped my $300 glasses in two. One month later he broke the stem off my previous pair of glasses that I still had lying around. I've been wearing an even older pair since then. (Fortunately I don't throw away old glasses and my prescription hasn't changed in years.)
Let me tell you about those $300 glasses. I got them at the optometrist in town. It took two weeks for them to have them ready, though they promised me one week. When I picked them up, the lenses didn't fit the frames - there were gaps big enough to put a kitchen-match through. A week later they had a new pair for me, but within days the screws near the stem came loose. A day later I had a pair of glasses I could wear. Even so, I paid for scratch-resistant lenses, but the glasses were showing scratches in no time. What on earth was I paying for?
After number-two son broke the second pair of glasses, I recalled a site I stumbled upon months earlier, Glassy Eyes, created by some guy who went through something similar to the above, bought some eyeglasses online, and was immensely happy. So I went downtown and got my prescription, clicked over to eyeglassdirect.com, and bought four pair of eyeglasses for — get this — $160! It could have been cheaper, but I opted for the polycarbonate lenses instead of plain plastic.
They arrived yesterday. They look as good as any other pair of glasses I've ever owned, the lenses fit the frames, I can see out of all of them, and, for all intents and purposes, they're disposable.
Was everything perfect? No. One pair of glasses doesn't fit very well. It's not the fault of eyeglassdirect.com, but rather it's the frames I chose. Had I been in a store, this wouldn't have happened. But then, of course, I still would have ended up spending $300 on a single pair of glasses. Also, eyeglassdirect is experiencing some growing pains; it took three weeks for my glasses to arrive. Of course, that's the same amount of time it took the local optometrist, and those glasses lasted six months.
So, if you wear glasses and you're tired of being fleeced, go online for your next pair, and avoid the 1,000% mark up.

GDL2: the GNUstep Database Library
Then, we need to create our EOModel programmatically. The EOModel is a correspondence between data stored in the database and an enterprise object. It defines entities for the tables in the databases and their attributes and relationships that correspond to table columns. Listing 5 shows tool/model.m, the tool used to create our model used by our application. For sake of simplicity, the model of our small inventory application defines only one entity.
Listing 5. tool/model.m
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h> #import <EOAccess/EOAccess.h> int main(int arcg, char *argv[], char **envp) { NSAutoreleasePool *pool; EOAttribute *theAttribute; EOEntity *theEntity; EOModel *theModel; pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; theEntity = [[EOEntity alloc] init]; [theEntity setName: @"Item"]; [theEntity setExternalName: @"INVENTORY"]; [theEntity setClassName: @"EOGenericRecord"]; theAttribute = [[EOAttribute alloc] init]; [theAttribute setName: @"iid"]; [theAttribute setColumnName: @"IID"]; [theAttribute setValueClassName: @"NSNumber"]; [theAttribute setExternalType: @"int4"]; [theEntity addAttribute: theAttribute]; [theEntity setPrimaryKeyAttributes: [NSArray arrayWithObject: theAttribute]]; [theEntity setAttributesUsedForLocking: [NSArray arrayWithObject: theAttribute]]; theAttribute = [[EOAttribute alloc] init]; [theAttribute setName: @"name"]; [theAttribute setColumnName: @"NAME"]; [theAttribute setValueClassName: @"NSString"]; [theAttribute setExternalType: @"varchar"]; [theAttribute setWidth: 255]; [theEntity addAttribute: theAttribute]; theAttribute = [[EOAttribute alloc] init]; [theAttribute setName: @"quantity"]; [theAttribute setColumnName: @"QUANTITY"]; [theAttribute setValueClassName: @"NSNumber"]; [theAttribute setExternalType: @"int4"]; [theEntity addAttribute: theAttribute]; theAttribute = [[EOAttribute alloc] init]; [theAttribute setName: @"order_date"]; [theAttribute setColumnName: @"ORDER_DATE"]; [theAttribute setValueClassName: @"NSCalendarDate"]; [theAttribute setExternalType: @"timestamp"]; [theEntity addAttribute: theAttribute]; [theEntity setClassProperties: [theEntity attributes]]; theModel = [[EOModel alloc] init]; [theModel setName: @"Inventory"]; [theModel setAdaptorName: @"Postgres95"]; [theModel setConnectionDictionary: [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject: @"inventory" forKey: @"databaseName"]]; [theModel addEntity: theEntity]; [theModel writeToFile: [theModel name]]; [pool release]; return EXIT_SUCCESS; }
For our small inventory application, we use EOF's built-in EOGenericRecord class for our EOEntity object, which describes our inventory table. We easily could define our own Item class and use it instead of EOGenericRecord in order to provide, for example, automatic validation of values the object can accept through mutation methods. In Listing 5, we also specify the attribute mappings used for our EOEntity. For example, the iid attribute is mapped to our IID database column and corresponds to the entity's primary key. In addition, it is used for locking during updates. When a value is read from the database, which has an int4 type, EOF automatically creates a NSNumber instance holding the corresponding value. The same operations are done for the three other attributes to be fetched into the application: name, quantity and order_date. Before leaving the tool's main() function, we set the name of the adaptor to be used, Postgres95 in this example, and the database name. We then write the EOModel on disk.
To compile the tool, a small GNUmakefile must be created. Listing 6 is the GNUmakefile.
Listing 6. tool/GNUmakefile
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/Auxiliary/gdl2.make TOOL_NAME = model model_OBJC_FILES = model.m ADDITIONAL_OBJCFLAGS = -Wall -Wno-import include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/tool.make after-clean:: rm -rf Inventory.eomodeld after-distclean:: rm -rf inventory.eomodeld
Before running the test application, we first must run, only once, the tool that creates our EOModel. To do so, proceed with the following commands:
# cd tool # make # opentool shared_obj/model
This creates the Inventory.eomodeld directory, which holds all the information (the two plists) with regard to our EOModel. To compile and run our test application, proceed with the following commands:
# cd .. # make # openapp Inventory.app
Once the application has finished launching, -applicationDidFinishLaunching: is automatically invoked. In this method, we added the code to initialise EOF from our model. We also run the PostgreSQL's adaptor login panel (shown in Figure 3) in order to specify the user name/password and database name we want to use. In the future, GDL2 will offer the possibility to create databases directly from the login panel. For now, from this panel, enter inventory in the Username: and Database: fields, the password you assigned to the inventory user when creating it in the Password: field. Then, click on the Ok button.
From the Inventory application, clicking on the Update button invokes the -update: method. In this method, we fetch all items from our database. Each item, which corresponds to a database row, is an instance of the EOGenericRecord class. Once EOF is done fetching the items, we reload our table view. Doing so automatically invokes -numberOfRowsInTableView: and -tableView:objectValueForTableColumn:row:. The former returns the number of fetched enterprise objects while the latter first gets the EOGenericRecord instance corresponding to the displayed row and returns the appropriate value for the table column using Key-Value-Coding (KVC).
Clicking on the Insert button calls the -insert: method in which we create an EOGenericRecord instance, set initial values (using KVC) and then register it to be inserted in our EOObjectStore. EOF automatically generates a unique ID, using the database sequence, and creates a database row. Finally, clicking on the Delete button invokes the -delete: method. In this method, we remove our enterprise object from the EOOjectStore, which removes the database row.
Live editing on the table view also is supported in our test application. The implementation of the -tableView:setObjectValue:forTableColumn:row: method offers us support for this functionality. In this method, we first obtain the enterprise object corresponding to our edited row. We then set the modified value to the right key, which is mapped to the right table column, based on our EOModel object.

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.

I would have liked a Colt or Springfield 45 but I'm happy with this gun. I got some ammo at the last gun show but it is too good for plinking (JHP and +P+) so I'm waiting for the next gun show before going to the range.

Congratulations and welcome here. Can't you find some target/range ammunition? I don't have your patience, I'd be at the range right now.
You are gonna like how that P95 shoots, trust me. I really want to get a Ruger 40 or 45 caliber now because of how well the 9mm model is performing.
The first semiauto I shot was a Ruger P series in 9mm, I've wanted one ever since but the price in Argentina is just ridiculous, they are around $1500. But they are on my wish list.
It is a truly nice pistol. I have a P93 in 9mm (middle), a P94 in 40 S&W (bottom) and a P95 in 9mm (top). The P93 is my favorite of the three but I like them all. These days I carry a S&W M&P 45 but enjoy giving my Ruger P series a work out at the range. Enjoy
Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not." ~ Thomas Jefferson
Good job on the new gun. I'm also having to hold off on range time tilll I get more 45s
Thanks for all the kind and helpful replies! Online ammo seems too much of a hassle. I just want 300 rounds of FMJ for around $45-50. Walmart is always out of 9mm. The last gun show was great. Great selection, good prices, no hassles. I just wish I didn't buy a box of Winchester +P+ for $38. I'm not sure I should even fire it through the P95. What about that, Sgt? Can the P95 handle 115 gr +P+? Here is a link about Winchester 127 gr +P+...9mm Hi Power and Winchester 127
The best way to answer that question is to call Ruger themselves. Give them a call and ask a Ruger specialist if the P95 can take a +P+ loading. I have my own personal feeling, but in regards to weapon specs like this, it's better to call the factory.
I contacted customer support. They said...
I like my P85. The only time it seems to FTE is when my 13 yr old shoots it. And even then it's rare to happen. I think he's limp wristing it. (He only weighs about 90 lbs. LOL) Bleak23 - When is the next local gun show? I think I saw a billboard for one in Ft. Worth, but I don't remember the date. I wish I had gone to the one in Mesquite last week. It's 1 mile from my parents' house and it was the day after my payday.

How to Make a Spoon Rack
With a quick trip to the thrift store, you can create this adorable Spoon Rack, perfect for hanging aprons, scarves, and light coats. Learn How to Make a Spoon Rack with this easy to follow tutorial from Maureen Wilson.
- Old spoons
- Pot of boiling water
- Oven mitt
- Board
- Acrylic paints & paintbrush
- Sandpaper
- Electric drill with bit
- Ribbon
- Small screws
- Picture hanging hardware
First, you'll need to find spoons for this project. The ones I found are old and plated in silver, so they have an interesting patina. I paid $3 for 10 pieces.
Next we'll need to bend the spoons so they'll work as hooks. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Put the spoons in the pot and allow to boil for 15 minutes or so.
Put on an oven mitt, and remove a spoon with tongs. Bend the spoon right where the handle meets the bowl. Since the metal is hot, it should be pretty easy to bend.
Now we can work on the board. Pretty much any board will do! There's always a wide variety of decorative boards at my local thrift store, I picked up this one for a dollar. But you could also use whatever you have in your garage.
Paint your board with acrylic paint. I want mine to look old, so I'm going to paint the edges with red paint first. Then I'll cover it with a coat of black.
While my first coat dries, I'm going to make the holes in my spoons. It's best to use a new drill bit. Place a scrap of wood beneath the spoon so you don't hurt your table. Then, start drilling! You have to be a little patient, as it took me about three minutes per spoon. Stop every once in awhile to blow the metal shavings from the hole.
Now that my spoons are drilled, I can add my second coat of paint.
Once that's dry, measure and mark where your spoons will go. You want them to be evenly spaced.
I'm going to attach my spoons with sturdy screws, in case I ever decide to hang something heavier than aprons. But since the screws aren't very attractive, I'm going to cover them with ribbon bows. Cut about a half yard of ribbon for each spoon.
Place the ribbon beneath the spoon's hole. You may find it helpful to have someone hold the ends, as it tends to twist when you begin drilling the screw. Add the screw to the hole and secure.
Tie the ribbon in a bow to cover the screw's head.
Finally, I'm sanding the edges of my board a bit so that the first coat of red paint shows through.
- Add picture hanging hardware to the back.

UNC-Asheville Bulldogs (0-2)
@Tennessee Volunteers (2-0)
Tuesday, November 17
Thompson-Boling Arena
Attendance: 17,085
Knoxville, TN (Sports Network) - Sophomore guard Scotty Hopson had a career night with 25 points on 6-of-7 shooting from beyond the arc, as the 10th- ranked Tennessee Volunteers set a school record for most points scored in a game with a 124-49 rout of UNC-Asheville at Thompson-Boling Arena.
It was an historic night for the men's Tennessee basketball program, as head coach Bruce Pearl picked up his 100th win as the coach of the Vols in the process. The Volunteers tied a school record with 16 three-pointers.
"Tonight we set some records offensively, and I'm sure that's probably what's going to be discussed. One hundred-twenty four points is the most we've scored; thirty-four assists (breaks) the record for assists; sixteen threes ties that record, but really it was all about our defense," said Pearl. "Our first-half defensive effort was as good as I've seen in a while. We talked about the fact that I think there's an understanding about how we're supposed to guard and help one another."
Bobby Maze added 14 points and seven assists for the Vols (2-0), who won 83-54 in their season opener against Austin Peay last Friday. Cameron Tatum had 13 points and five rebounds for Tennessee, which shot 59.7 percent from the field and 55.2 percent from beyond the arc.
J.P. Primm ended with 13 points for the Bulldogs (0-2), who opened their season at Charlotte last Friday, and fell to the 49ers by a score of 86-70. Terrence Turner tallied seven points for UNC-Asheville, which shot just 23.9 percent from the field and turned the ball over 29 times.
"At the beginning of the game, we did not do a darn thing. I am embarrassed for UNC-Asheville for Tennessee folks, because we want to come in here and make them learn, make them be a better basketball team. All we did tonight was give them some exercise," said Bulldogs head coach Eddie Biedenbach.
The Volunteers put together a first half for the record books at the expense of UNC-Asheville's poor play.
Tennessee came out of the gates on fire, as the Vols scored the first 20 points of the contest. The Volunteers made four three-pointers during the burst that Melvin Goins capped with a jumper just 4 1/2 minutes in.
On the ensuing Bulldogs possession, Turner made 1-of-2 from the foul line to finally put UNC-Asheville on the board. But the foul line became the only place where the Bulldogs could score.
Later in the half, a Maze layup ended an 8-0 spurt to put the Vols ahead 57-8. UNC-Asheville then ended an 0-for-19 drought from the field when Turner made a layup with 3:08 showing on the clock.
Tennessee, which shot 64.9 percent from the field in the half, held a commanding 66-14 margin after 20 minutes. The Bulldogs went 2-of-26 (7.7 percent) from the field in the first period while turning the ball over 16 times.
The Vols cruised to victory in the second half, and Michael Hubert's trey with about 1 1/2 minutes to go gave Tennessee 124 points. The Volunteers scored 121 points against Long Beach State on March 16, 2007 and versus Mexico on January 24, 1966.
The Bulldogs scored the final eight points of the contest to account for the final margin.
"Obviously, UNC-Asheville did not play well tonight. I've seen them play before, and they just did not play well tonight. They're a better team than that. They're picked second in their league and they're going to have a good year. They've got to bounce back," said Pearl.
