I have a friend I have never met. He is a distant relative I met on Facebook, and we post on each others pages often. No need for names here, but he posted this question this morning, and I thought it wrapped up a life-long frustration pretty neatly:
You know that moment when you're arguing with someone from diametrically opposed positions on a subject, when you realize that no matter what you say, what fact or figure or life experience you present as evidence of your view on a subject, that you'd be better spending your time trimming your toenails with a weed eater than wasting one more minute on them?I thought that said it pretty well, even though I suspect my friend had me in mind when he wrote it. My friend and I rarely agree on anything, especially when it is about politics.
So I thought I'd pen a word or two on this ever-present phenomenon.
We all know that moment.
It starts when one is a teenager and is talking with mom, who until that moment always was the Goddess Of Perfect Information. And it goes on as we get more involved with people, with life and especially, with politics.
I once read an exhaustive and long-term study that hypothesized political positions were set genetically. In other words, some people are born to be progressives, others born to be conservatives. The report talked about certain natural differences in outlooks on the world seen in early childhood between kids raised in the same environment who would lean one way or the other as adults.
Other studies have pointed out that the number of conservative, middle of the roaders and progressive thinkers in any society tends to remain at a predictable percentage within a narrow range, regardless of the political system in vogue, the historical period being studied or the culture or the parentage of those studied.
Many people argue all sides of this issue, but it seems there are some good ideas for why folks whom I love that are of otherwise good sense seem so blind to my point of view.
I have friends I have known and loved for over forty years that have always had diametrically opposing views of society and the political scene from me. These are the very few I can count on the fingers of my two hands. The few to whom I lend money or borrow from without worrying about whether I need pay it back or will ever see it again or whether it will affect the friendship. People I flew with in good times and bad, travelled with, faced bad guys with, fixed cars with, ate, drank and played with.
The only fun we can have when discussing these subjects — which after all, like women and religion, must be discussed — is a sense of humor about it. I'm not very good at humor, or at least as good as I'd like to be, though I do laugh one hell of a lot. But I try to inject that when I can, just to loosen up the tension and to maintain the friendship.
The good thing is that there is real good in folks who disagree mightily about politics, religion and even women. That is worth hanging onto.
The United States Of America is based on the idea that these opposing views CAN coexist, that the argument goes on for a good and healthy reason, that the friction is necessary for a complete and vital nation to survive.
It was this belief that impelled Abraham Lincoln to bring some of his most potent and virulent enemies into his cabinet; for Barrack Obama to select the same Secretary of Defense that George W Bush had selected, even though their views on war were diametrically opposed.
And even in the most ancient writings that exist this divide between people existed and was noted and discussed. It is neither new nor is it a phenomenon we caused.
It is much easier to sit back with those who agree, and sometimes more pleasant. Being part of a tribe of the like-minded is seductive.
But it is never as much fun.

Before I got on this beat, it made out a bucket-list
In these bars, I granted its deathwish
from Curren$y – Airborne Aquarium Lyrics on Genius
A bucket-list is a list of things to do before you kick the bucket. The idea was made popular by the movie featuring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
Rappers often say that they "kill beats." Curren$y here flips that common line on its head: the beat made a bucket list and asked Curren$y to kill it, which he did.

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/11/12 -- TextPower, a leader in innovative text messaging software solutions for enterprises, today debunked a claim that the Zitmo Trojan Variant Eurograbber defeats all two-factor authentication citing the company's TextKey authentication service which uses a cell phone's unique identifier -- its "fingerprint" -- to authenticate a web site user through a simple text message instead of a web browser.
The Zitmo Trojan has cost online banking customers throughout Europe millions in stolen funds as this variant has infected Android and BlackBerry devices and is capable of defeating common forms of two-factor authentication. TextKey's patent-pending technology eliminates any browser interaction during the authentication process and thus won't allow man-in-the-middle (MITM) or man-in-the-browser (MITB) attacks affecting mobile device users.
"There are several two-factor authentication methods used to protect web sites, but those that allow any form of data entry on a web browser page are vulnerable to a MITB/MITM attack," said Scott Goldman, CEO, TextPower. "To eliminate this angle of attack, you must eliminate any method that involves the browser. A secure server-to-server connection between an authentication service and the web site is the simplest and most straightforward approach to do this. TextKey uses exactly that type of connection, completely circumventing any browser involvement to eliminate threats from any MITB/MITM attacks."
Unlike other two-factor authentication processes, TextKey's authentication code is displayed in clear text on the user's screen after they have successfully entered their ID and password. This code must be sent via SMS to the TextKey cloud-based authentication system from the cell phone preregistered to that user's ID. There is no open field for a hacker to monitor or trap information on the web site's page, nor is there any hardware or software required at the web site's server to implement TextKey authentication. Only the next-generation of two-factor authentication, like TextKey, combines the convenience of a soft token with the resistance to browser-based attacks.
Establishing an account with a TextKey installation on the web site side is fast and simple. The individual web site maintains the user's ID and password already and simply adds their cell phone number to the record. Then a simple plug-in, available in .NET, PHP and Java, is inserted into the web site's login page HTML. When the ID and password are successfully entered a modal dialog box appears showing the code that the user must text into the TextKey system from their cell phone. The code must be sent within the user-defined time frame from the correct phone to grant access. If the wrong code is sent, or if the correct code is sent from an unregistered phone, access is denied. It's simple, easy to install and the least-hackable method available.
The product, TextKey, has won two major industry awards and is patent-pending. Although the product is still in "slightly stealth" mode it has generated significant interest from some major financial institutions and is going to be publicly released within the next 90 days.

WebRTC makes it easy for developers to add audio and video communications into their applications by using Web browsers as their platform.

Five Key Points Needed For a Detroit Lions Victory
The Detroit Lions might have just come off one of the most hyped games this season, but it doesn't mean they need to be any less prepared for the rest of their games. They could even use a little more prep time to put in to place lessons learned from last week. What do they need to do against the Tennessee Titans in order to win this week? Here are five key points they need to have in order to have a victory on Sunday.
1 – Matthew Stafford: Stafford needs to show up confident, call smart plays and not force the ball in to tight coverage. If he has an interception early in the game, it could be buzz kill for his confidence. He already has four for the year, which is high, so he will definitely be thinking about it in the back of his mind even if he doesn't admit it. With some support from the O-line, Stafford can take a few more seconds and find an open receiver instead of throwing in to double coverage. (Which is exactly what Calvin Johnson has seen a lot of in the first two games.) Mix it up and find Brandon Pettigrew once in a while too.
2 – Effective Running: Just because Mikel Leshoure is back doesn't mean he is going to get the ball each running play and perform a miracle. He might only get a few hand-offs, if he gets any at all. He has been gone for two weeks, which is two weeks of practice time and enough time to get a little rusty. The ball needs to be handed off to several different players in order to be effective. And don't just hand it off to Kevin Smith and expect him to do something magical each play either. Run the ball. Pass the ball. Do something with the ball that is effective and move it down the field instead of trying the same old tired play for three and out each series.
2.5 – Jason Hanson: I know I said five, but this is a small point. Hanson needs to kick through the middle of the uprights and not the side. The ball doesn't always bounce the way it needs to.
3 – Improved Secondary: Injuries have seriously hurt the Lions secondary. Drayton Florence went to the injured reserve list. Louis Delmas is still out. Jerome Murphy was added to the roster. Lots of change this week for the secondary that was still trying to solidify and find its identity last week. No matter who ends up starting, they need to do a better job than the sloppy work of a week ago. Bill Bentley did practice and is probable to start Sunday, as well as Chris Houston. There is hope for the secondary to come out strong and stay strong.
4 – Defensive Line: Not all of last week's problems can be blamed on the secondary, because the front line didn't look so sharp either. Missed tackles and weak blocking were apparent from the front four when usually the opposite is true. Kyle Vanden Bosch needs to be mean and not just look it with his red contacts. Ndamukong Suh needs to be a leader and get the front four focused. If they can stay focused and sharp, it might also help the secondary limp through the game.
5 – No Overconfidence: The Lions need to take the Titans seriously. Being overconfident and chalking up a W too soon will definitely be a recipe for disaster. The Lions need to prove they learned from last week's loss and show up to play a ball game. Even though this game wasn't hyped and the Titans rank low of defense and offense doesn't mean they couldn't pull out a win if they tried.

BOISE, ID -- (Marketwired) -- 04/07/14 -- US Ecology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ECOL) ("the Company") today announced that it has entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement to acquire EQ - The Environmental Quality Company ("EQ"), a fully-integrated environmental services and waste management company based in Wayne, Michigan, with facilities throughout the Eastern United States. EQ is owned by an affiliate of New York based private equity fund Kinderhook Industries, LLC. The transaction, valued at $465 million, is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2014 and is subject to customary closing conditions, and a purchase price adjustment based on working capital. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to adjusted earnings per share for the full year 2014.
EQ is a comprehensive solutions provider offering a broad line of environmental services including treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes, recycling, field and industrial services and total waste management. EQ's facilities include one hazardous waste permitted landfill located outside of Detroit, Michigan, 13 waste treatment and recycling facilities and 21 dedicated service centers. EQ employs over 1,250 employees and services more than 6,000 active customers.
"The addition of EQ to US Ecology's family of permitted facilities will provide us with an expanded environmental services platform, broadening our geographic footprint and providing for a greater array of services to better meet the needs of our customers," commented Jeff Feeler, President and CEO. "In addition to its high quality, complementary assets, like US Ecology, EQ has a strong, uncompromising commitment to environmental, health, and safety compliance, engendering the trust of customers, employees and the broader community. We expect that the combination of US Ecology and EQ will result in cross-selling opportunities, transportation synergies and efficiencies of scale, delivering compelling value for our customers and stockholders as well as further opportunities for long-term growth."
Financial Highlights
EQ generated pro forma revenue of approximately $376 million after pro forma adjustment for its 2013 acquisition of Allstate Power Vac, Inc. and adjusted pro forma EBITDA of approximately $54 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Though US Ecology is not updating guidance at this time, the transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to adjusted earnings per share before synergies. Adjusted EPS, excludes transaction expenses and other nonrecurring items. A calculation of adjusted pro forma EBITDA is included on page 16 of the presentation filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our Form 8-K filed on April 7, 2014.
Financing of the transaction
The total purchase price of $465 million will be financed using a combination of cash on hand and committed debt financing, consisting of a new $540 million credit facility made up of approximately $415 million in a 7-year Term Loan and a $125 million 5-year Revolving Credit Facility. The closing of the financing is subject to customary closing conditions.
Houlihan Lokey is serving as US Ecology's financial advisor and Stoel Rives LLP and Dechert LLP are serving as legal counsel. Stifel is serving as EQ's financial advisor and Kirkland & Ellis LLP is serving as legal counsel. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC are acting as Joint Lead Arrangers for the financing.

Accordingly, stockholders should not assume that we agree with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report. Furthermore, we have a policy against issuing or confirming financial forecasts or projections issued by others.

AMD R600/R700 Gallium3D Confirms GLSL 1.30
Published on 21 April 2012 07:09 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
6 Comments
Just one day after
the Radeon HD 5000 series on Gallium3D gained GLSL 1.30
compliance by default, the R600 (Radeon HD 2000/3000 series) and R700 (Radeon HD 4000 series) now have GL Shading Language 1.30 support advertised by default.
Like the Evergreen GLSL 1.30 switching, this isn't happening due to some exciting commit happening today or in recent days, but rather everything has fallen into place and things have been confirmed by developers as working and (hopefully) not causing regressions compared to GL Shading Language 1.30. Previously the GLSL 1.30 support was accessible for these Radeon product families by setting the
environment variable.
As written in yesterday's posting, "
Outside of the Radeon world,
the Intel Mesa DRI driver with Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge hardware indicates GL Shading Language 1.30 compliance
(that's where Mesa lost its GLSL 1.30 virginity in late 2011). The Nouveau NVC0 "Fermi" hardware also advertises GLSL 1.30 support while the other generations remain at 1.20. Gallium3D Softpipe/LLVMpipe has also been
chopping towards GL3/GLSL1.30
As written by David Airlie in
one commit
this morning, "
r600: enable glsl 1.30 on r700
I've done a piglit run on rv740 and confirmed no regressions. We don't get GL3 on r700 due to transform feedback being busted still."
And then in
another commit
by Airlie, "
r600g: enable GLSL 1.30 for r600 class
Full piglit run on my rv610 with no regressions. This only leaves cayman, however my cayman is resisting my attempt to get through a full piglit run."
So while the GLSL 1.30 support is now on-by-default for R600/R700 class hardware, OpenGL 3.0 still isn't the advertised GL version due to missing the
transform feedback
. There's also not yet GLSL 1.30 as the default for the latest Radeon HD 6000 "Northern Islands" graphics card. The far-from-complete
RadeonSI Gallium3D driver
for the new Radeon HD 7000 series is also not yet ready for the GL3 age.
Getting closer to GL3/GL4 is good considering it's the R600 and R700 series that
is soon getting dropped from the AMD Catalyst driver
. The proprietary Catalyst driver meanwhile has quickly supported the latest OpenGL / GLSL specifications following their ratification by the Khronos Group for each generation of Radeon hardware (by the way, there's also
a hint of something else coming
). The Phoronix Test Suite will now also
better illustrate these GL differences

Hilton Budapest - Castle District
Another Great Hotel in Budapest
We were just in Budapest for the third time and decided on a third hotel, this time the Hilton on Castle Hill. When we read about it being part of a restored castle on the Fisherman's Bastion, we thought, let's go for it.
Unique Quality: The location is the crowing jewel. When the tourists left Castle Hill for day it was virtually deserted, allowing us time to walk around in quiet and enjoy the beauty of the location.
Directions: Castle Hill
Even if they offered me a lifetime comp...
...I'd refuse to stay here as a matter of principle.
How Hilton got planning permission to build this eyesore in the middle of what is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site is beyond my comprehension. Well, it's not really as I assume that quite a large sum of money must have changed hands somewhere down the line.
Not only is it an eyesore but they even got permission for their guests to be allowed to bring their cars into the Castle District - the only private vehicles allowed except for those of the locals who work or live there.
They (and MacDonalds) did something similar in Sofia, Bulgaria, when they got permission to build a hotel which blocks the view of Vitosha from one of the city's parks.
Unique Quality: A Blight On The Castle District.
In the city center's castle hill
Beside the fact that this is a 320 rooms 5 star luxurious hotel , the location of the hotel - right in the middle of Unesco's world heritage site , Budapest's castle district , is great.
One of the hotel wings is an old church from the 13th century if i am not wrong so you can see it also.
A luxurious hotel with a few restaurants , good service and great views.
Unique Quality: The location is very good - view over the parliament and close to the fishermen bastion and matthias church.
Directions: Close to Matthias church and the fishermen bastion
Mixed Reviews
I chose to book this hotel strictly for the views and the location. The hotel is located right in the Castle District and has some of the rooms have beautiful views of Fisherman's Bastion.
Our room was large with a nice sized bathroom, living area, bed and fully stocked bar. When we arrived there were nice cakes on a plate to welcome us to the Hilton. I thouht it was a nice touch. The hotel stay was nice and friendly. Al of our needs from extra towels to snagging a cab were arranged with ease.
We were staying on the club level and full access to the internet and the daily breakfast lunch and evening food and refreshments. We enjoyed the breakfast at the hotel as well as some drinks. he internet was fast and helped us to keep in touch with family and the weather forcast.
The only downside of this hotel was the bed. It was very lumoy and not comfortable. The bedding was thin and not soft.
I would stay in this hotel again just for the views and location...hopefully the beds will be different next time.
Unique Quality: The view is incredible. We enjoyed keeping the curtain open so we could see Fisherman's Bastion aglow from our room.
Great Hotel - Crap Staff
Just stayed at the Hilton Budapest last weekend. Try to take the Hilton wherever possible cause of the HiltonHonors Program. Rates where ok, first time that I had late check-out till 20:00 which is great if you leave town in the evening.
The rooms as you expect were very nice, cleaning twice a day. Breakfast was also great, go try the Hungarian Pick Salami, you will love it.
On our stay there was the 50th UNESCO Celebration and Diner. So we met Roger Moore outside the Hilton. Took some pictures, but too many Bodyguards to get any close to him. Still great experience.
The only really negative thing about the Hilton is the staff. Hardly ever had so unfriendly, snobbish and unhelpful staff.
Unique Quality: Fantastic location right at the Fischer Bastei on the Hill. Great views and also a great starting point to explore the city. My tip is to take the Chain Bridge and Chainlift to the King's Palace on the way back. It save's you time and you'll have a great view from inside out.
Directions: Castle Hill
A hotel surrounded by history
I was staying at the Hilton in Budapest for one week during a team meeting. Whoever chose the location of the hotel was a genius. It 's on top of a hill on the Buda side of the city with a wonderful view over the whole city.
The facilities of the hotel itself are very good too, but that's what you'd expect from Hilton anyway.
Unique Quality: The Location right in the old town and the good Hungarian food they offer.
Comfort and quality
Our room overlooked the courtyard and was spacious and clean. The air-conditioning was excellent and was most appreciated in the hot weather.
Breakfast was superb. So many different types of food were in the buffet but the chef would make anything you wanted to order. The staff were friendly and courteous.
The reception staff were very helpful and were available at all times to give information and help.
Money changing was at a good rate (much better than the local exchange office) but they do charge commission.
Toiletries provided were Crabtree & Eveylyn Le Source.
We will certainly return to this hotel.
Unique Quality: The Hilton Budapest is built within the walls of a 13th century Dominican monastery. Concerts and functions are held in the courtyard. In the cave below the hotel there is a winetasting room.
Directions: The Hilton Budapest is in a wonderful location in the old town and it is very easy to travel to the Pest side by public transport. The hotel is next to the Fisherman's Bastion.
on the top of Buda
This is very debatable hotel for the city.But in 1976. with his baroque style on the stret side they try to harmonize with the city silhouette.while the other facade in front of the Fishermen Bastion is made with glass and steel.As I mentioned before in the 70 s this was new and something for the city.And it helps a lot to improve the image of the city.
Greatest Location Ever
The Hilton service is impeccable and here was no exception. It has all the facilities one would expect - other than a pool.
Mathias Church right next door.
Buda catacombs withing 10 minutes walking distance.
Royal Palace 15 minutes walking distance.
Fisherman Bastion right next door.
Oscars Bar 15 minute walk.
Pest makes for a lovely 20 minute walk, take the funicular there & back to the Danube.
Unique Quality: The view from my room was spectacular, Parliament, Fisherman Bastion, all of Pest lay before me - incredible!!!!
The Hilton Hotel
On the western side of Hess Andras ter stands the Budapest Hilton. Although Bala Pintar's mid-70s building is now showing its age, the design is set apart from others in the city thanks to the incorporation of a 13th-century Dominican church (and the wall of a 17th-century Jesuit college) into the hotel's main core. The Dominican courtyard, which sits between the two main wings, is occasionally used as for open-air operas during the summer.
Although this is of course, a higher end hotel...the prices are also much higher...I still would reccommend this hotel for people travelling to Budapest on a romantic trip...ie: wedding or honeymoon, etc.
Hilton Budapest
The Hilton Budapest is located in the heart of the historic Castle District right by the Fisherman's Bastion. A true oasis amidst a overwhealming city. I hope they have renovated since I visited.
The personification of excellence
As mentioned in the introduction, we took the early train to Budapest and arrived before 11:00. Now getting from the train station to the hotel was an adventure...lol...we had the help of many locals to get us on the correct bus/trolley...but we got there. And what an awesome location...The Hilton Budapest is located in the heart of the historical Castle District (one of UNESCO's World Heritage sites) next to Hungary's gothic Coronation Church, the Matthias Church, Fisherman's Bastion and across the Danube from the Hungarian Parliament Building. Usually, you can't check in until after 2:00 p.m., but we called in advance and got to our suite before 11:30, the hotel staff knew us by our first name, provided directions to things we wanted to see, recommendations on places to eat, and so much more...now that's what I call customer service. The amenities were everywhere, from our gorgeous room with a king size bed, water and fruits provided, color tv, bath robes, calls to make sure we were doing well, and on, and on and on. I would highly recommend this location if you are ever staying in Budapest.
Unique Quality: The hotel incorporates a contemporary structure with 13th century remains. It has 322 completely refurbished guest rooms including 23 suites, a Presidential Suite and 73 Executive Floor rooms and facilities to welcome disabled guests are also available. The "Hilton Room Plus" accommodations offer a stunning view of the River Danube and the City of Budapest (we got one of those rooms). In addition, the rooms are comfortable for both working and relaxing, feature air conditioning, security key card system, built in safe, three IDD telephones, wireless internet access, minibar, tea and coffee making facilities, iron and ironing board. One of the best things about this hotel is that we got to stay here for free...well we used Hilton Honors Points to stay at a 5-star hotel for free...you can't beat that!!!
Directions: Located in the heart of the historical Castle District (one of UNESCO's World Heritage sites) next to Hungary's gothic Coronation Church, the Matthias Church, Fisherman's Bastion and across the Danube from the Hungarian Parliament Building.
The Hilton
There is long dispute about this Hotel and its architecture as it is located at the Castle area. Personally I don't think it is really bad, after all, they did try to fit it somehow into the landscape. I saw modern Hiltons in old cities that were 15 floors high with no any considerations for the classic landscape.
In the middle of Buda
This great hotel is locate in the heart of Buda. It is very strange hotel because it has got a tower bell. This tower bell is a ruin of a Dominica Church of S. Nichols and you can see on it the statue of King Matyas. Today all the ruins of the church are integrated with the Hilton Hotel made by bela Pintér in 1976. The facade on the street is a baroque style, while the other facade in front of the Fishermen Bastion is made qith glass and steel.
The Hilton Budapest
The Hilton on Castle Hill in Buda is recommendable. The only disappointing feature was the fact that our "king" bed was two twins pushed together and they kept coming apart. You couldn't ask for a better location. Within 100 metres of the front door is the fisherman's bastion, St. Mathias church, the House of Hungarian Wines, and an extraordinary view across the Danube at Parliament and the chain bridge. The hotel was extremely comfortable, as it should have been for the price, and the staff was extremely accomodating and friendly

Sorry Texas, the great hot sauce dispute is over: Company remains in Calif.
The spicy skirmish has likely ended between the makers of a well-known hot sauce and a California city that said its factory's smells were too much to handle, meaning Texas' officials rush to woo the company away to the Lone Star State were all for naught.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Irwindale City Council voted this week to drop a public nuisance declaration and lawsuit against Huy Fong Foods, makers of Sriracha hot sauce.
Sources told the Times that officials with Gov. Jerry Brown's Office of Business and Economic Development helped broker a meeting between Sriracha CEO David Tran and Irwindale politicians to soothe the flames of the dispute.
The city of about 1,400 people had been at odds with the company, which recently moved its main operations there, after residents complained of spicy odors that burned their throats and eyes.
Tran, a Vietnam immigrant, said he installed stronger filters at the plant, and that he expects they will successfully block fumes when the company begins its chili-grinding season in August.

I can happily say that I've felt a noticeable difference since I started taking the Alpha Male supplements. Taking one a day with breakfast really makes a difference once I get to work, I feel a lot more energetic and generally feel better too! For 90 pills the price really can't be beaten and I'd recommend these supplements to anybody.
Alpha Men Original is great because it has all of the essential vitamins and minerals, also this product contains the vitamins that help men produce more testosterone such as zinc and I have actually seen a boost in my well being as well as my testosterone levels.
Since I discovered this supplement I have just started taking one of these every morning, and stopped taking my normal multivitamin and my b-complex supplement. The Alpha Male supplement contains such a broad range of vitamins and minerals that it covers both the supplements i used to take in one small tablet, so I'm saving myself money and space. Can't rate it enough.
Delivered quickly, nicely packaged, does the job. Good value and they're a nice size to swallow, unlike other brands that are the size and look like suppositories.
Alpha Men Original is an excellent product and a great price for the quantity you get. Great for the active person who may miss out on essential vitamins and minerals in their diet. A must purchase!
