Drugs, the department of justice and immigration
Thursday - 3/7/2013, 6:12pm EST
This week on BGOV's Capital Impact show hosted by Allen Scott:
- The Department of Justice is cashing in on fraud. Health-care fraud collections under the False Claims Act hit an all-time high of $3.1 billion in fiscal year 2012. Now insurers may be in the crosshairs. Bloomberg Government Analyst Brian Rye will explain where the money is going and how sequestration could slow down the wheels of justice.
- Republicans say the southern border isn't as secure as it needs to be and insist on greater control before Congress moves to address comprehensive immigration reform. President Obama said his administration's efforts to control the border have gone above and beyond the requests of Republicans. BGOV Analyst Matthew Hummer helps us understand the next steps for all in immigration reform.

It's M$'s first step towards acknowledging that after more than 30 years of trying, they've failed to make a competent O.S. GNU/Linux is apparently no longer a cancer, in M$'s view. They've also realized that after Vista is released, the ball stops there. Even M$ knows blackcomb is dead. There's so much broken stuff, things that will not be included before RTM in Vista already etc. etc. etc. that they're either:
1. need to start from scratch, undoing 30+ years of work in the process;
2. take an existing secure O.S., like...uhm...SUSE Enterprise, polish it up further and release that as their flagship O.S. of choice.
Some food for thought.

Athlete Marion Dohr received voucher for hearing aids with Thorsten Faust from Phonak (right) and Alexander Indermark (HH CD)
Hear the World Foundation joined with Special Olympics Healthy Athletes once again to provide free hearing screenings to hundreds of athletes participating in the recent 2012 Special Olympics Germany National Games which took place in Munich from May 20-26.Startling results were achieved – almost 11% of the 488 athletes screened at Healthy Hearing in Munich failed the pure tone hearing test. 31 Athletes (6.5%) were diagnosed as hearing aids candidates.As a partner of Special Olympics, Hear the World Foundation provided each of these athletes with vouchers to receive high quality Phonak hearing aids and is making arrangements for follow up care including fittings and adjustments provided by Phonak hearing professionals across Germany following the Games. Founded by Phonak, the leading Manufacturer of innovative hearing systems, Hear the World Foundation is a global initiative that raises awareness about the importance of hearing and the consequences of hearing loss. Five Phonak hearing care experts joined the many health care volunteers in supporting the Special Olympics Healthy Athlete screenings. According to Thorsten Faust, a hearing aid expert and provider from Phonak: "It's so wonderful to see the athletes competing here in Munich and showing the world what they can achieve, and it's so rewarding to have them here in our screening venue and to help them hear better."Hear the World Ambassador and popular German singer Patrick Nuo added to the success of the Opening Ceremony of the Games by performing the anthem song with two athletes in front of a crowd of 14,000.The German Games represent the second collaboration between Hear the World Foundation and Special Olympics Healthy Athlete programme, which provides free comprehensive health screenings at all major Games events. The first collaboration was during the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Athens, Greece last summer.

Norma,I was just goofing off. I don't think it's ever been done on the "Mythbusters" show where they used a dough ball as a cannonball. But given the last accident, I don't see them doing a project where a cannon's involved any time soon.
Norma,are those "crazy bread men"?---LOL, I've been checking this forum for a few months now and find your information and pictures a very good source of practical application info. I am working on a NY style pizza and have a very satisfactory recipe that I have made my very own. It's all good. I do have one question of you though, what size ladle do you use to apply your sauce on a 15" pie. Thank you in advance.John from Bethlehem,Pa.
NormaNice lookin ham n cheese pie, how did you like the taste? I was trying to find the creamy mustard sauce recipe I used but I've lost alot of my info since a recent computer crash. Looks like you did just fine without it. The cherry tomatoes are a surprise but tasty addition. Although rye crusts are naturally a little heavier then a standard dough, I'm a rye lover so I wouldn't hesitate to do more similar pies in the future. I think a pizza like this would be a great fit on a brunch buffet table.

What does Gettleman need to do to make you optimistic for 2013?
Posted 29 January 2013 - 10:35 AM
Recent news suggests that Gettleman wasn't willing to offer any of the new coaches contracts that extended past next year. And it's almost common knowledge that Rivera's gone then if he doesn't win. Rumors and tweets have also floated around that there's a lame duck atmosphere starting to emerge, similar to that of 2010. Note that I'm not saying there is, but given the actions by the Front Office so far it's understandable how some people may think that. And Gettleman is almost getting a pass on his first year, because of the Rivera decision, so there's no immediate pressure on him.
As another poster has already pointed out, because of cap issues we're likely to lose some talent. So as of now it's likely that we're going into next season with downgrades in talent, in coaching, and with a staff that has no job security. Hardly a winning formula, right?
So here's the real question here. What does Gettleman have to do in the next few months to convince you that he intends to win next year, and isn't just building for 2014 and beyond? And be realistic, ok? We're not signing a zillion high priced free agents, we just don't have the money. So within reason, what can he do to show you he means business?
Posted 29 January 2013 - 10:40 AM
That being said, if this GM can somehow magically fix the mess of a salary cap, and provide us better competition among the big uglies I would be very optomistic
Posted 29 January 2013 - 10:41 AM
Try your best to trade back in the first, unless a "franchise" type player is sitting there, and pick up a 2nd. Use this to get bigger/better in the trenches. I have been calling for D line forever, but I honestly am considering O line a little more these days. We have our QB, he has to be protected, and we are aging at the LT.
Try to find a real number 1 WR somewhere, if not this year, next year when we clean some of that cap hit off the books.
I would probably be happy with some of these to start things off.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 10:45 AM
Posted 29 January 2013 - 10:53 AM
short term solutions combined with long term acquisitions.
I'd also like to see him hire a coaching consultant for rivera to help with/assume game management decisions...preferably with HC experience and an offensive background.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 10:54 AM
Let see here.
We need improvement in our cap space now and going forward. Its a disaster, its time to go into actual rebuilding mode.
We need quality picks in the later rounds as WELL as hitting on our #1's. We need MORE draft picks as well. Plan for the next draft while participating in this draft.
Our Defensive tackles are a disgrace to professional football. Fix it
Our O-line was a disgrace at the end of last season :Fix it
Hurney's last hurrah of trying the save face through smearing poo contracts on the walls of his likely padded office have basically destroyed our ability to truly compete since Cam was drafted. Fix them. Cut them. Restructure them. Fix it.
Why are the exact same scouts here ? Why has the scouting department not had bodies added ? If the idea is to build from the draft and supplement with FA why do we not heavily invest in scouting ? Fix it.
Basically I have no hope for the coming season.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 10:56 AM
Personally nothing can happen during the offseason to make me optimistic. The team has beat 2 teams with winning records in 2 years. Until the team starts getting quality wins, I see no reason to believe they will be good.
somewhat agree.. but overall, until wins start accumulating there isn't much else to add. Gettleman, himself, still has to prove he can perform as a GM and turn this franchise around.

Honestly I have never been as down on the Panthers as I am right now.
That's funny.
For the first time in probably 4 or 5 years, I feel better about them. Not saying that we will win a ton of games, but there are some major changes brewing on the inside, and it has been way past time for some of this to happen.
JR talking about selling the team.
Sons fired.
Fox and Hurney fired.
Ron on a one year leash.
We have a QB.
With a couple of lucky breaks we could be good in a couple of years.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:12 AM
Cut Gamble, Cut DLo/Stewart, eventually cut Gross (If we can't draft a LT, it's impossible to let him go), we can't cut Beason because of the cap hit (restructure or cut when finiancial feasible). Cut Hangman, Cut Naka, Cut Martin, Cut Armanti. And start building a contender from the trenches. Build around Cam and Kuechly they are our future. Sign and draft guys that can make an impact from the bottom, up. Easier said then done though.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:21 AM
It's when Gettleman tells us he's watched all the game film from 2012 and 2011 (for Cam and Rivera).
Once he does this, we'll know that he has a full understanding of what's going on for himself, when/if he has to make or listen to decisions.
He mentioned on the radio yesterday, he may start watching game film this week, when asked about the Panther Roster regarding the salary Cap. Obviously, he wasn't ready to answer with out doing so.
If/when he does this, it'll let's us know, not only how harder a worker he is. But it let's us know how thorough he is, and how he wants to get it right (can you really trust the Panther staff fully, if you haven't seen the games for yourself)?
We already know he has the background. He just needs the proper understanding of our team.
Once he does/knows this, I feel he'll make the right decisions (regarding the draft, free agency and salary cap).
Let's hope that Gettle and Ron can help each other, in regards to Panther players, The Cap and Free Agency.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:29 AM
Like everyone else has said. Get the cap straightened out. That means cutting fan favorites. Rebuild O-line and add parts to D-line for the future. Trade back, pick up a lot of picks if possible. Even though we are or should be in rebuilding mode, I still think we have a contender. We just need to be a lot smarter about contracts, so that we can have a sustained successful franchise.
Cut Gamble, Cut DLo/Stewart, eventually cut Gross (If we can't draft a LT, it's impossible to let him go), we can't cut Beason because of the cap hit (restructure or cut when finiancial feasible). Cut Hangman, Cut Naka, Cut Martin, Cut Armanti. And start building a contender from the trenches. Build around Cam and Kuechly they are our future. Sign and draft guys that can make an impact from the bottom, up. Easier said then done though.
I agree with alot of this. We need to do something with our running backs. I say it should be Stewart. He is only three and a half years younger and plays like he has more wear and tear than D-Lo. People on the board are starting to come around to the idea a little at a time. I believe we should give Gross one last year too if we cannot draft a tackle. I disagree on Martin though. I believe we should sign him to something cheap and let him play special teams. One of those guys we are familiar with type deals. All we need are a couple of more o-lineman and we need to address DT situation immediately. Inside out is how it should be done. WR, CB, and Safety follow after the trenches. I disagree on Martin though. I believe we should sign him to something cheap and let him play special teams. One of those guys we are familiar with type deals. With last year's run with our "young guys", we should know exactly where to go in FA and the draft.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:34 AM
If we were just going to play Hurney magic and move money keeping messes to deal with the following year....then we should of just kept Hurn-dawg. We need to start making room for Gentlemen players and start moving Hurney guys out that don't fit our new "core".

KAUFMAN, Texas � Suspicion in the slayings of a Texas district attorney and his wife shifted Monday to a violent white supremacist prison gang that was the focus of a December law enforcement bulletin warning that its members might try to attack police or prosecutors.
The weekend deaths of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, who were found fatally shot in their home, were especially jarring because they happened just a couple of months after one of the county�s assistant district attorneys, Mark Hasse, was killed near his courthouse office.
And less than two weeks ago, Colorado�s prison chief was shot to death at his front door, apparently by a white supremacist ex-convict who died in a shootout with deputies after fleeing to Texas.
The Aryan Brotherhood of Texas has been in the state�s prison system since the 1980s, when it began as a white supremacist gang that protected its members and ran illegal activities, including drug distribution, said Terry Pelz, a former Texas prison warden and gang expert.
The group, which has a long history of violence and retribution, is now believed to have more than 4,000 members in and out of prison who deal in a variety of criminal enterprises, including prostitution, robbery and murder.
It has a paramilitary structure with five factions around the state, Pelz said. Each faction has a general, who is part of a steering committee known as the �Wheel,� which controls all criminal aspects of the gang, according to court papers.
Four top leaders of the group were indicted in October for crimes ranging from murder to drug trafficking. Two months later, authorities issued the bulletin warning that the gang might try to retaliate against law enforcement for the investigation that also led to the arrest of 30 other members.
At the time, prosecutors called the indictments �a devastating blow to the leadership� of the gang. Pelz said the indictments might have fragmented the gang�s leadership.
Hasse�s death Jan. 31 came the same day as the first guilty pleas were entered in the indictment. No arrests have been made in his killing.
McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, were found shot to death Saturday in their rural home just outside the town of Forney, about 20 miles from Dallas.
Detectives have declined to say if the Aryan Brotherhood is the focus of their investigation, but the state Department of Public Safety bulletin warned that the group is �involved in issuing orders to inflict �mass casualties or death� to law enforcement officials involved in the recent case.�
Killing law enforcement representatives would be uncharacteristic of the group, Pelz said.
�They don�t go around killing officials,� he said. �They don�t draw heat upon themselves.�
But Pelz, who worked in the Texas prison system for 21 years, said the gang has a history of threatening officials and of killing its own members or rivals.
The 18-count indictment accused gang members of being involved in three murders of rival gang members, multiple attempted murders, kidnappings, assaults and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine.
Some of the attempted murders in the indictment involved gang members who were targeted for not following orders or rules or who were believed to be cooperating with law enforcement. The indictment also alleges that gang members discussed killing a police officer in 2008 and allegedly ordered a subordinate gang member to kill a prospect �and to return the victim�s severed finger as a trophy.�
Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies throughout Texas were on high alert, and steps were being taken to better protect DAs and their staff members.
In Kaufman County, deputies escorted some employees into the courthouse Monday after the slayings stirred fears that other public employees could be targeted. Law enforcement officers were seen patrolling outside the courthouse, one holding a semi-automatic weapon, while others walked around inside.
During the last century, 14 prosecutors have been killed in the U.S., according to news reports and statistics kept by the National District Attorneys Association.
Deputies were called to the McLelland home by relatives and friends who had been unable to reach the pair, according to a search warrant affidavit. When they arrived, investigators found the couple had been shot multiple times. Cartridge casings were scattered near their bodies, the affidavit said.
Authorities have not discussed a motive.
The slayings also called to mind the death of Colorado�s corrections director, Tom Clements, who was killed March 19 when he answered the doorbell at his home outside Colorado Springs. Two days later, Evan Spencer Ebel, a white supremacist and former Colorado inmate suspected of shooting Clements, died in a shootout with Texas deputies about 100 miles from Kaufman.
In an Associated Press interview shortly after the Colorado killing, McLelland himself raised the possibility that Hasse was gunned down by a white supremacist gang.
After that attack, McLelland said, he carried a gun everywhere around town, even when walking his dog. He figured assassins were more likely to try to attack him outside. He said he had warned all his employees to be constantly on the alert.
Lozano reported from Houston. Associated Press Writer Angela K. Brown in Fort Worth also contributed to this report.

The Elite Four is a Trainer Class and title given to four trainers that qualify as being the best trainers in their respective region(s), with only the Pokémon Champion above their skill level. There are currently 5 sets of Elite Four members and 1 champion, corresponding to the number of Generations that the main series games have been through (although Kanto and Johto share their respective Elite Four location.)
In order to challenge the Elite Four, a trainer must first acquire a total of 8 Badges (16 in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, but you first fight them with 8). Upon battling them, the challenger must face all of them consecutively. In Generations I-IV, the members of the Elite Four are battled in a set order. In Gen V, they can be fought in any order. Once defeated, a trainer can battle the regional Pokémon Champion for their title. However, in every region, if the player is defeated, then he/she must re-battle all members of the Elite Four.

- The Kanto, Hoenn, and Unova Elite Four are similar, however, at least one type needs to be changed in order for them to be the same.
- The Hoenn Elite Four is very similar to the Kanto Elite Four. All you would need to do to make them the same is to replace Sidney with a Fighting-Type Trainer and change the order.
- that is probably why FireRed and LeafGreen were made in Generation III, the same one that Hoenn was introduced.

If you, like me, like to encapsulate jobs in the IIS app pool, as opposed to creating scheduled tasks in Windows Task Scheduler you've most likely faced the same issues as I with your application pool shutting down after being inactive for some time. Read on for a guide on how to configure IIS 7.5 for having always running and auto starting app pools.
Are you sick of the standard Spotify player too? That it's hogging memory like crazy, the interface is bloated, becomes non-responsive and it lacks an equalizer? Then you'd be please to know that there is an alternative, and pretty darn good one!
A couple weeks ago I was at my parents house doing some cleaning. One of the tasks I undertook was that of going through all our floppy disks, save what needed to be saved, and dispose of the disks. It was actually quite an emotional thing, and yes i know it's weird, but it was! That funny whining clacky-di-clack sound of the motor in my Mitsumi USB drive brought back some fond memories of a time that was once was.
I personally hate doing manual maintenance of servers and running applications as I consider such tasks rather mundane and I beleive they should be as autonomous as possible. Previously I was under the impression that even relatively simple tasks couldn't be scripted on Windows without writing VBScripts or some fancy .Net powered Powershell scripts. Truth be told, that's still true in most cases, but actually not when looping files, as I found out by coincidence.
If you've ever had a reason to change the author name and/or email of one or more commits in a Git repository then fear not, it can be done. It, quite obviously, involves rewriting the history of your repository, and involves running a BASH script that utilizes the git-filter-branch utility included in the Git installer.
Err… sorta. There's no doubt that Cookiereports is a terrible product, that I really can't see the value of; as opposed to writing the legal stuff yourself. But for some reason clients insists on using them, so below you'll find a nice little Umbraco MacroPartial, that will at least let you integrate it into your site a bit better than the god awful iframe solution they normally force you to use. Naturally this solution isn't limited to Umbraco, it can be used in any MVC View or Partial View, or even in Webforms, if you care to do some minor coding yourself.

Discussion Of The Week - Week 6
What is your favorite piece of horror memorabilia/merchandise that you own? It can be a t-shirt, a DVD, a prop, an action figure, or whatever you can think of that is in your collection that you cherish the most.
For me it's a no brainer but i'm gonna use this opportunity to show three pieces from my collection that I am most proud of. But first, my favorite of them all. It's no secret that Freddy Krueger is my guy so naturally, this bad boy is the item in my horror collection that I cherish the most .....
Yes folks that is a handcrafted metal and leather clad replica of Freddy's glove from I believe the original Elm Street. I must mention that the glove was purchased by my girlfriend Jen (who you see modeling it above) and thus it actually belongs to her, but we more or less live together at this point and what hers is mine and vice versa and besides, it resides at my house. Granted she does threaten to take it away and bring it over to her place whenever she's mad at me, but that's a whole nother story. We had been drooling over this glove at a Monster Mania convention last year but neither of us was willing to pay the $125 price tag, even though that was a bargain given it was a convention special price and the glove usually goes for $150. Towards the end of the week, Jen haggled the guy down to $100 and here it sits. Robert Englund was at that paricular convention and we had planned on taking a picture with him wearing it and getting it signed by him, but the line was way too long so we bailed on that idea. Hopefully sometime in the future that will happen. I wish I could tell ya the company that crafted this glove but I honestly don't remember and can't seem to find out that information anywhere. All I know is there are plenty of Freddy replica glove makers out there and for $100, this is about as good as it gets (it's finely detailed right down to the rips and tears on the back). So thank you Jen for fulfilling my lifelong dream of one day having Freddy's glove on my own hand!
By the way, be sure to check out Nightmare Gloves. They make the best replica Freddy gloves out there and they have one for almost every movie in the franchise. They also run for almost $300 but I guess ya pay for the best!
We can't leave the J-man out so next up we've got the first item I ever got Hancocked at my first horror convention (Horrorfind Weekend), a Part 7 Jason replica mask signed by Kane Hodder (and again, modeled by Jen)!
I would like to eventually get it signed by everyone who has played Jason but I always hesitate to do that because it'd cost about $20 per person and that's quite the committment given how many people have played him. What i'll probably do is just get it signed by them one by one as time goes on and slowly build it up rather than splurging all at once. Most of the guys who have played Jason are at every convention I go to, so I don't think it'll be hard to track them down. Then again i've met and seen most of those guys since getting this mask years ago and I never once had one of them sign it so maybe it'll never happen. I guess it's just a matter of remembering to bring it with me.
And then finally we have this mask/busts of sorts that I bought on Ebay years ago, under the title "Demon Girl Mask"....
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that this mask was made in the likeness of Regan from The Exorcist and was named simply Demon Girl to avoid licensing/copyright issues. Kinda like those plastic Freddy gloves that are bootlegged and packaged up as "Fright Gloves". This was another $100 purchase but well worth every penny for the amount of detail put into it. You can't really wear it as a mask unless you have a pinhead (and there are no eye holes anyway), but it makes an awesome room decoration when displayed as a bust. I've had many people ask me how I sleep at night with this thing staring down at me!
So what are you favorite pieces of horror merch that you own? Leave a comment and let know!

Alas, I don't really own any horror merchandise (I'm young, forgive me!) but I am quite attached to my Planet Terror and Wrong Turn 2 posters...
Oh! And I have a Mystery Machine tin lunchbox that is on my shelf, I love that!

1. My die-cast model of Stephen King/John Carpenter's 'Christine'. She cost $80 and I had to order her from the U.K., but she' a beauty.
2. CBS 'Twilight Zone' lobby card, which actually hung on the set of "THE TWILIGHT ZONE MOVIE". My ma found this at an auction and it hangs proudly over the door of my movie room closet, a minor, tasteful relic of years past.
3. framed "FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI: JASON LIVES" poster. It's not an original, just a reprint, but it looks sharp hanging in a position of prominence in my "screening room", and it simply, yet boldly, represents my favorite movie of all time.
*runner-up? Dr, Channard Cenobite action figure, from NECA's "HELLRAISER" series. Complete with the giant worm/base thingie and interchangeable head & hand attachments, this represents, to me, the ultimate in semi-obscure collectible decadence. He used to proudly ride atop my old entertainment center; he now lives a quiet life tucked away in a relatively dust-free Rubbermaid tote with my other Hellraiser guys and other general horror figs. :)
**second runner up? "THEM (ILS)" stress-ball; another find from my ma at a different auction. It's from a UK press-release publicity kit. It's a simple black stressball with the film's logo and tagline emblazoned on it. The film itself left me with tepid "eh, whatever' feelings, but this stress-ball has provided hours of diversion and angry squeezing/ aggression release while I'm at work, dealing with the stupid, babbling peasants who harass me on my customer service line every day. - June 10, 2009 at 10:22 PM
- Johnny said...
Some real nice stuff ya got there. For some reason I love all those little promotional items and the thought of a Them stress ball really amuses me. Reminds me that I have a Cabin Fever blood stained promotional doctor's face guard thingy that i'm pretty proud of!

- The Warfreak said...
I don't have any replicas or anything like that, but I am attached to my Evil Dead: Book of the Dead that I had auto'd by Bruce Campbell, my Dawn of the Dead (original) poster book signed by Tom Savini, and my Dawn of the Dead Ultimate Edition DVD signed by George A. Romero. Those are things that I'll never sell and alway treasure, mainly because I personally got them signed.
- June 11, 2009 at 6:15 AM
- Wings said...
Very cool items everyone has!!!
Mine are the 1/4 scale Jason statue I won a few years back from Sideshow Collectibles. Pic Here Just love it.
And my Seasons 1 & 2 of "Friday the 13th: The Series". Waited SO long for them that I cherish them now. Hope Season 3 is out ASAP! - June 11, 2009 at 6:27 AM
- Zach said...
I think for now, my adoration has to go with my Evil Things pack. I really like the evidence bags and such. But my opinion changes pretty regularly on this subject. I also really like my Gizmo doll from Gremlins.
- June 11, 2009 at 8:20 AM
- Johnny said...
Warfreak - I've always wanted those Book of the Dead DVD's. Are the contents inside worth it or are they mainly worth picking up for the cases alone?
Wings - You actually won a Sideshow contest, eh?! They're always giving away such awesome and expensive stuff. Very jealous!
Zach - The Evil Things pack is proudly hanging on my wall =) And I used to own a Gizmo doll, but I can't find it! - June 11, 2009 at 8:46 AM
- Wings said...
Johnny: Yeah, I won it, but it was a big hassle to get it. They at first didn't respond when I wrote and said it was my name on the page of winners. Then they kept putting me off. Finally, I flipped and wrote an email that... uh, got their attention. Packaged arrived soon after. Never went back to enter any of their other contests, though.
- June 11, 2009 at 9:04 AM
- Bjornabo said...
Thanks for using my suggestion Johnny.
My Favorite item has to be this:
My Tall, Dark And Grusome book signed By Mr. Christopher Lee himself.. :-) - June 12, 2009 at 1:17 PM
- Johnny said...
You and your love of Hammer! I'm assuming you met him?
- June 12, 2009 at 2:28 PM
- Carl (ILHM) said...
Dude Johnny I have that same EXACT mask, probably bought it from the same seller at the convention, did you grab yours from Sean Clark? My favs:
NotLD poster signed by Romero and the entire surviving cast
Lament Configuration replica signed by Doug Bradley, Clive, and Ashley Laurence
The entire Puppet Master 1:1 replica set
Sorry man it was hard enough to narrow it to three lol - June 12, 2009 at 4:42 PM
- Johnny said...
Carl - The Jason mask? I honestly have no idea who I even got it from it was so long ago. By the way, i've wanted one of the Hellraiser puzzle boxes for so long! Someday I will own one!
- June 12, 2009 at 7:40 PM
- Bjornabo said...
Nope, sorry to say Johnny I have not. I whould sure love to thou.
I actually bought the book from some norwegian auction site. And it was not cheap.. - June 13, 2009 at 7:05 AM
- Guess said...
Since I'm not old enough to bye these merchandise myself, my collection is rather limited consisting of a nightmare on elm street signed trading card, a Ash (Army of Darkness) action figure and an Army of Darkness poster all of which I treasure equally.

Mista No Slack N My Mack
Do you actually even have an idea for a venture? Or are you looking at this business as a cash grab like everyone else recently? If you knew ANYTHING about "the sneaker game" you wouldn't have to make posts like this, because you would already have an idea of where YOU think innovation needs to happen. This is a really sad attempt at market research.
too many retros and followers
...From there I would create a solution that solved those problems. ...
...From there I would create a solution that solved those problems. ...
the manufacturers and retailers don't want your help. the problems with the "sneaker game" is good business for them. and if you're considering a retailing (reseller) service then you'll become part of the problem.
only way to fix perceived problems with the "sneaker game" is brand expansion, more choices, more competition. but you can't make people like your stuff...
I'm creating a service that is going to offset the problems they have caused by not creating enough supply for their consumer base. Re-sellers are obviously the biggest issue and this comes directly from the lack of inventory. Re-sellers buy extra pairs and sell them at a crazy markup because they can. People in this forum buy those shoes after market at those crazy prices and that's why re-sellers still exist. If I can come in with a service that disrupts this after market by offering shoes say at $200 a pair in the after market, I'm sure the community would welcome me.

Okay, I don't think that your mom is weird, because I still like to take my son's photographs (he is 19 yrs old). That's all moms do, photographs their children, so when they grow older, they can look at all of those photos, and remember how all the beautiful thing...
You look so cool with that boot,I like how you layer your tees, and the bag? gosh, it's gorgeous. seems like you are ready for spring.
Magnolias are gorgeous too.
p.s. I think your mom is cool! - February 25, 2009 4:57 PM

Your mum is such an amazing photographer. You're so lucky to have such beautiful photos of yourself. (PS I'm so pleased you looked up Blossom. I TOTALLY wanted to be her when I was 11. Come to think of it... it's not just the hat, you generally dress a lot like her. Freaky!)

My mom is just like your mom. When she takes my photo's she does all crazy kind of stuff. I'm happy she's supportive though! I mean, you'd think most moms would think it's crazy to take pictures of their daughters. But our moms are the best right! Love your style, especially your hat in this post.

Wow that tree brightened up my day. Gorgeous! Spring!
I had a 90's party back in December for my birthday (check blog for pics if curious) and wore what I thought was a nice F21 cloche, which quickly became the Blossom hat. Probably because it was a 90's party. And I stuck an actual blossom on it :P - February 26, 2009 11:53 AM

Nice article Michael. Hopefully it is enough to open some of the old die hards eyes.
Phoronix: Ubuntu 11.04: i686 vs. i686 PAE vs. x86_64
At the end of 2009 I published benchmarks comparing Ubuntu's 32-bit, 32-bit PAE, and 64-bit Linux kernels. Those tests were carried out to show the performance impact of using 32-bit with PAE (Physical Address Extension) support, which on the plus side allows up to 64GB of system memory to be addressable from 32-bit machines, but is still significantly slower than a 64-bit kernel and user-space. In this article the tests have been carried out on modern hardware and with the latest Ubuntu 11.04 packages to see how the three kernel variants are performing in 2011.
Nice article Michael. Hopefully it is enough to open some of the old die hards eyes.
Any chance you could redo those graphs with colors that are easier to tell apart?
Nice to see that x64 proves its worth.
However, why isn't a recent AMD cpu included?
AMD and Intel chips have different strengths and articles such as these should show fair comparisons.
Also, the tests where the i7 is slower in x64 than in x32 actually show some of the weaknesses of the Intel architecture.
Graph bars are all green. Took a near superhuman effort to distinguish one from the other.
I agree with the point of the article that 64-bit should be the default / "recommended" version. Canonical should ship the beta of Adobe Flash 10.3 "Square" 64-bit whenever a user requests a flash install (or if they check the third-party software box at install-time), thus pressuring Adobe to finalize 64-bit support and make Flash update releases of 64-bit in lock-step with 32-bit.
The Java problem is mostly solved with the new browser plugin released by IcedTea. We should see a great out of the box experience on distros that ship this plugin for both 32-bit and 64-bit, especially once OpenJDK 7 goes stable.
The few places where 64-bit did worse, I think are regressions that could be fixed in the app. For the 3d stuff, it's not surprising that the numbers are unchanged or worse for 64-bit, because the main thing being tested there is CPU context switches (for all the graphics calls) and GPU performance, not CPU throughput.
I'm a bit surprised at the good performance of PAE, but I guess it's because more stuff can be stored in the page cache, which really makes a difference on that 8GB system. Even with the extra level of PTEs, having twice the space for caching pages off of disk is going to be a major speed-up if you can load most of or all of your on-disk dataset into RAM and work with it there. Running a PAE kernel on a system with < 4 GB of RAM would probably degrade performance overall, though, and certainly wouldn't improve it.
The few 32-bit binary blobs that remain laying around that people still sometimes use -- TeamSpeak, Shoutcast Server, Win32 programs under Wine, a few of the Humble Bundle games, etc -- can be made to work fine under a 64-bit kernel by installing the correct 32-bit libs. I guess this is Canonical's fear: that a significant part of the userbase would bee-line straight to wanting to run 32-bit-only nonfree programs that require a great number of 32-bit dependencies that Ubuntu does not ship under lib32* packages. Oh no, they'd have to learn how to use getlibs or compile them from source. Or even worse, Ubuntu would have to fully and truly support multi-arch like OpenSUSE. The horror. Worse yet -- users would have to learn to use free software alternatives to the 32-bit-only binary blobs that they "rely" upon. Unthinkable! (It is the case that, generally speaking, all free software targeting Linux compiles and runs cleanly on amd64 -- show me a counterexample and I'll help make it work with 64-bit if I know the programming language it's written in.)
Hell, even Microsoft is ahead of Ubuntu in this regard. Windows Server 2008 R2, the server release of Windows based on the same build as Windows 7, only comes in an amd64 flavor. You can't even get a 32-bit build of Windows NT 6.1 Server. It doesn't exist. And all of your favorite server programs, from SQL Server to Server Manager, come as 64-bit userspace apps. I am further impressed by the fact that Microsoft Word ships a 64-bit build! Lastly, there are rumors (though unconfirmed) that Windows 8 will ship 64-bit-only for all product lines, both desktop and server. They might well release a 32-bit version of Windows Starter for those cheap emachines and stuff, but Home Premium / Professional / Ultimate / Server will all probably ship 64-bit only.
Seems to me like Adobe and a few other ultraconservative companies are retarding the progress of Linux 64-bit adoption by intimidating distributions into thinking that making 64-bit the default would inconvenience or scare away newbies. Whether they're doing this intentionally, or just refusing to change, or doing it to save engineering money, the fact remains that if we were to disregard all the proprietary companies that refuse to make 64-bit Linux builds, we would have nothing left to complain about, and Ubuntu could "safely" recommend 64-bit.
To see the kind of corporate mentality that leads to companies snubbing 64-bit builds, see here and search for replies by a name ending in "Linden" for the reasons given by Linden Lab employees for not offering a 64-bit build of Second Life.
But the demand for a 64-bit viewer was so great that community members contributed patches to the open source side of Second Life viewer development, and it works well enough these days that it's 100% feature-equivalent and much faster than the 32-bit build. To this day it seems only 64-bit Linux has been ported, with no indication of if/when 64-bit Windows builds will be available. Kokua and Imprudence viewers support 64-bit Linux for some time now.
Also interesting are some of the arguments here for specifically a 64-bit Linux viewer (no Linden Lab employee replies there yet). If you look at http://popcon.ubuntu.com (PopCon = Popularity Contest, not "popCORN" the food), you'll see that the graphs of i386 vs amd64 are clearly converging over time. The only reason they haven't already converged is that so many people are afraid to do something other than the "recommended", so they just accept the default 32-bit build that Ubuntu pushes on people. Classic chicken and the egg problem, as a microcosmic instance of the global plight of the FOSS movement.
You know, I think this has explained something for me. Recently, I had Fedora 12 with a 2.6.31 32 bit PAE kernel. I now have openSUSE 11.4 with a 2.6.37 64 bit kernel on the same machine. On the Fedora system, when I ran Linpack, I got about 80.1 GFLOPS. Now, I get about 94.8 GFLOPS. I wasn't sure how that had changed, but I think this explains it well. Thankyou.
First of all, some of the main and most popular third party software don't have 64bit support. Skype, Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash Player among other ones.
In particular the latter is known to be important (if not mandatory) for web contents.
And they don't want to have users getting bad web experience from Ubuntu.
Second, in a number of places you can read that a 64bit desktop PC is not that faster than a 32bit conterpart. If that's not a urban legend, it's at least a common belief none has cleared so far. So let's stay on the mainstream.
Third, yours (Phoronix') is among the very few comparisons I've seen so far between 32bit and 64bit system. And most of the users and decision makers can struggle a lot to understand the real meaning of it. Companies rarely aim products and services to "geeks", any way.
Fourth. People coming from the Microsoft world (that's not me) "know" that there "can be problems" in getting 64bit working drivers and software if they choose a 64bit OS. Yes, they can still run 32bit stuff in a 64bit environemnt, but then, why should they?
So proposing users the same choice they'd hear from the "normal" world brings more trust. That's money.
In the end, all that could be just ignorance in it's broader meaning. But this is the "real world" (tm) where a PC sells better than an Amiga or an Archimedes. Sigh!
I think canonical is clearly thinking about changing this.
They are including the newest work for multi-arch on dpkg that's not even in debian in the next release: it is clearly a first step towards better integration of a mixed 32bit/64bit system, and after getting that working they'll probably start recommending 64-bit.
Remember that mixing 32bit and 64bit packages in ubuntu isn't so easy or trouble-free as for example with openSUSE.

Alien Charged With Illegally Re-Entering U.S. After Removal
PITTSBURGH, Pa. - A citizen of El Salvador has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on a charge of violating federal immigration laws, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
The one-count indictment named Manuel Antonio Portillo-Tobar, 39, of El Salvador, as the sole defendant.
According to the indictment, on or about June 11, 2012, Portillo-Tobar was found in Butler County, Pa., after having unlawfully re-entered the United States following removal on or about July 29, 2009.
The law provides for a maximum total sentence of two years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney James T. Kitchen is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case.
An indictment is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

clean + easy Deluxe Home Electrolysis
GinaTumwater, WAI Love This ProductIve had unwanted hair problems on my chin and my neck for years.....it seems to run in my family. And I just cant afford professional electrolysis. This product is amazing. It does sting a little, especially in sensitive areas, but its well worth it to get rid of embarassing hair. I havent been able to use it much since I purchased it just because I need to get a better mirror just for this, but I did get rid of a small patch of hairs on my chin that use to drive me nuts. Its been 3 weeks now and only a few of them have grown back and will need a second treatment. Words of advice though ladies (or men as the case may be) if you have tweezed or shaved in the past and the hairs you want to remove are thick, dont pay any attention to the directions that say the hair will come out easily. Even if you use this product correctly and it does what its supposed to do...its still going to feel like regular tweezing when you pull that hair out.posted Nov 12, 2005Link to this post
MaggieNew JerseyPatience A RequirementI have had my unit for about ten years and I would try to use it off and on when I could not get to an electrolysis. I was surprised to hear so many people said it had broken unless the newer units are not made as well. I am still waiting to give a verdict as I have just begun to intensly use the product since the cost of professional hair removal is so expensive. You do need to read the instructions, and you do need to have patience.Because the growth is fairly extensive I know it will take time. I do feel as if I can see a difference in the amount of hair coming in and also of the feel of the hair coming in. It is not as coarse.posted Oct 15, 2005Link to this post
JannaLong Island, New YorkFantasic Product!!!I used laser hair removal and it works fine, except, some hair still goes back. With this product, you hit the the follicle, and it DOESNT grow BACK!! Its great! The only problem I had was that the battery wasnt easy to pull out. I pull the battery out because I dont trust the dial on the product. Theirs no click to asure that the product is off and it stopped working. Other than that, The product really works!!! Try it, and read the directions clearly, it really works, Janna.posted Aug 30, 2005Link to this post

DougPortland, OregonI Couldn't Handle ItI decided to try this, since needle electrolysis is the only widely-proven method of permanent hair removal. To be honest, I couldnt get any hairs removed with this device. Im sure it works, yes, but it is quite difficult to get right. You will need a very steady hand, and much practice to be able to insert that tiny needle just right into the hair follicle, and even then, you cant always tell if its on target. I found the needle to be very invasive feeling, and it stung even when the power was off!Like I said, Im sure it works and Ive heard of others successfully being able to use this... but I dont think I can put up with it anymore.posted Aug 24, 2005Link to this post
NcgirlRaleigh NCFirst Time UserI used my home electrolysis unit as soon as it arrived. It does work well and I am thrilled to have it for intermittent use between visits to my electrolysist. It does takes skill and time to learn to use it correctly. Be patient as you learn how to keep your hand moist, keep the probe steady as it goes in and then pick the hair out after its been treated. I would also suggest a magnified mirror with a light. Overall the unit works well, the current is strong and Its less expensive than paying someone to do it for you.posted Aug 10, 2005Link to this post
Debbie KuklaCommerce, MIRelief Is In SightWith the power level set at 2, there was minimal discomfort. So very glad to see the complete hairs slip out. Wasted over 2 years of my time with an electric tweezer type. (their statement was- "Be patient. Some hairs require more than one treatment") With the tweezer type, you had to stretch the skin. My upper lip still shows the effects of doing that, not a pretty sight. With this machine, there were a few temporary red spots. Most went away within hours, some by the next day. Added an extra reading light to my makeup mirror which greatly helps.posted Jun 22, 2005Link to this post
AngieFloridaIt Seems To Work Like A Professional ToolI like it so far, you just have to find the right settings for your type of skin.posted Jun 14, 2005Link to this post
ChristiCaliforniaI Dunno. . .It definitely is difficult to use. I tried once a couple of weeks ago (when I got it), and got it to work on 3 hairs. The directions suggest that you start with the lowest setting, but that didnt work for me & I was a bit of a chicken with turning it up (Once I turned it up too high & it hurt badly, so I was afraid to turn it up at all.), so I kept moving the needle around in the hair folicle (sounds horrible, but its not) trying to feel the "tingle," to no avail. Ive had little scabs (tiny) on the hairs I messed with that have taken 2 weeks to go away (not as bad as the ingrown hairs that I experience with waxing & shaving, though), so I might wait until AFTER bikini season to try again. I will try again, though, and i think that after I get the hang of it it will be worth it. Im a slow learner. :) So, dont buy it unless youre patient. Im too cheap to get it professionally done (poor grad student), so its worth it to me no matter how difficult.posted May 27, 2005Link to this post
DebbieProfessional Results At Home!!Great product. Does what it says it will do. I read all the reviews and instructions prior to first use, which really helped. You can tell when you have hit the hair follicle, because you will see a small amount of discharge from the follice when the tip is inserted. Good light and a magnifying mirror are definately a plus. Just be patient; like anything else that you have never tried, it takes practice. No more painful than professional electolysis, but MUCH cheaper. If you are thinking of buying this product, go for it! If you dont like it your not out a lot of money. Good Luck!posted Apr 29, 2005Link to this post
