As far as I know, in most occasions, we Chinese can't use Chinese as part of our password.
LOL, after forcing myself to remember a 16 characters string password (something like "Xf8d Fa7d lu5D A3wj") for money related accounts, I am worrying forgetting it much more than security, and had to hide a note with it in my house now.
Chinese Internet users have to be paranoid about their passwords. Between the government spying on you and others trying to swindle you, the incentives are there to really think about your password
Chinese are using sophisticated passwords TO PREVENT FROM GOVERNMENT SPYING!
Congratulation, you have successfully become a certified TE reader.
So don't stick to one language. I personally mix romaji, pinyin and english abbreviations that have some personal meaning.
Of course many of us use passwords with deliberately different security/memorability ratios for different purposes. Things like Yahoo and Facebook (& many stores that do money separately) need only low security, whereas things like bank accounts and Amazon/iTunes that mean money need better passwords. So Yahoo may not be an ideal choice of example, Paypal might be better.
But Yahoo likely means e-mail. That ranks right up there in terms of needing high security.
Speaking of passwords and security, it's quite interesting that the PravdaEconomist doesn't allow a user to delete their user account.
Apparently one has to force the issue.
I don't know why.But I usually use my name with some special numbers as password .
Your name is quite inappropriate.
The graph is out of scale and values of China and Korea seem reversed. Where is the mistake?
lol the PIGS are among the top ones on the list.
remember some scientist did an research about the national IQ level.
East Asia, i.e. korean japan china,HK, singapore top the list.
And using global dictionary, "English" are third. Below Greecs and Indonesian but above Spanish and italians. lolo1!
Once again, since we have another "weak password" article, let me point out that the vast majority of our online passwords don't need to be strong. Most of them are protecting very little -- the identity under which one posts on an on-line forum, or one's ordering history from a particular retailer. There's not much harm if someone was to guess it, and not much incentive for them to try.
Rather than urge people to use stronger passwords, or worse yet have software that demands passwords of a certain length, with a mixture of letters and numbers, and at least one non-alphanumeric character (as many are requiring these days), let the user decide for themselves how much security they need.
People aren't smart enough to know this. By forcing users to start using words which are difficult to hack - they are more likely to use such security on accessing information that does matter. Like banking security.
A better choice is to use an OpenID server (openid.net). There is no password to remember. You have one key (your OpenID provider's) and you guard that with your life. I think people can understand that.
People aren't smart enough to know that their bank is more important to keep secure than their Neopets?
Seems like techie-snobbery to me, without proof.
I don't (much) mind being urged to use stronger passwords as long as they are not required. The more rules limiting what I can use as a password, the fewer guesses required of a hacker.
it also shows cultural connections. i believe if japan, singapore or taiwan are in the table,they will stick together with the chinese and koreans...
it seems that it shows the chinese are most sophisticated while south europeans and south asians are the least...
That is consistent with many findings.
It could also be a matter of what year did those groups start using the Internet. I am sure a large portion of those European language speaking people haven't changed their passwords since the mid 90s. If I was a newly wealthy person accessing the Internet for the first time this year, I would pick a complicated password because I have heard this so many times.
Likewise my English hand writing, learned as a child, is rather adolescent even now whereas my Japanese handwriting is extremely neat.
Uhm, no. Chinese internet users are not what you would call sophisticated. The average user has no awareness of viruses (and doesn't care) and no awareness of adware and spyware (and doesn't care).
The results are, of course, completely distorted by the fact that Yahoo was used, which almost no one uses in China, meaning the sample consisted of a small international, smart minority.
Hahaha, comparing Shanghai, THE city that pulls in the elite from all over China, with other countries is really completely meaningless.
The rapid growth of Internet user in China starts from 1997, not much later than "those European language speaking" countries, which does support your argument on the significant difference between European veteran and new wealthy green hand.
haven't you read the newest. they did the same tests in many other chinese cities too including rural areas. and the findings proved to be extraordinary, not at all less extraordinary than Shanghai's results. why they haven't published the results, as i remember, is that the chinese government hadn't allowed them yet.
what you say here only proves that you know little about china. because shanghai students are definitely not among the smartest in china although they have very good education.
btw a common phenomenon would be that any chinese pupil would totally laugh at the mathematical level of ability of their foreign (european or american especially) countapart. not to mention the ability to memorize things. because that's what chinese pupils are mostly good at.
isn't this old news? i thought so.
I do not want to be a geography Nazi but which South Asian country or language do you see in this list ?
well southeastern countries.
well they are more or less the same.
what i mean is that in asia, china, korea, japan, singapore, taiwan stick out together as the greater confucious area or the so called sinosphere. they share the same cultural root.
I briefly taught maths in China and have been here for 6 years. Math education is indeed ok, but nothing else. Even university graduates often cannot point to India on a world map (some don't find Africa either), no joke. I have made this test with a number of people.
As war as the "many other chinese cities" are concerned, please provide numbers...
Well, your link seems to confirm my point - it does say that Shanghai is an "exceptional case". For the rest, they say the results are "remarkable", but I don't see any quantitative data.
I know Chinese people are generally smart, don't misunderstand me - but education outside the biggest cities is (still) on such an abysmal level that the average Chinese as of today cannot possibly do that well. So, data please.
Are you kidding me. I feel especially sorry that you say such absurd things if you really lived there for so many years.
Not really. I quote:
'The results for disadvantaged pupils would be the envy of any Western country, he says.'
So please open your mind and be a little realistic.
Did anyone else notice that the only figure that didn't change when switching from the local language dictionary to an international language dictionary was for English users? In other words, the speakers of other languages are familiar with and willing to use foreign words for passwords, but English users do not use them *at all*.
It's funny that the PIGS are on top.
Can't argue with that :)
Haha.. you are too funny!
Thinking about it, actually I can. Italians and Greeks don't apply since their language is spoken in their countries only. Mas don't forget Portuguese and Spanish are spoken all over the world. There are actually countries with Portuguese as official language in almost all continents of the world so this might be connected to brazil, angola, mozambique, Macau, or Timor (America, Africa, Asia)... So Portugal itself might not have that many fault on this :)
By the way, how about to reverse Maputo back to Lourenço Marques? Such a nice city, in such desolation...
What do you mean, change the name again?
Maybe they have less to hide or are less afraid of the world.
First things first. Let's start from the ownership.
Is it?
What is the actual piece of data denoted by the language axis? Location of the user's computer? Preferred language on Yahoo? Or 'language' (if that is meaningful) of the password itself, or Unicode range of the characters comprising the password? If I am logging in to Yahoo from North America, using Welsh as my preferred language, and enter a password that mixes Hebrew and Russian, to which group of users do I belong?
mu'mey pegh vI'oghmeH tlhIngan Hol neH vIlo'. {I only use Klingon when I create new passwords.}
Password Impasse: Amnesia Remembrance of Passwords Long Forgotten.
We all have more lost passwords than functional passwords.
And the current security systems do more to keep us out than to prevent unwanted intrusions.
If half of your pocket key chain worked and the other half were lost mismatched keys that you have no idea how to use, would you think the system is accessible and convenient?
After reading this, I switched my password to "password1234".
Safe now. :)
Just whatever you do... don't let anyone know that your new password is password1234... :).
Mine is all asterisks. But all the websites have bugs in the security and display it when i log in.
Okay, I'm now going to change it to "1234password".
Don't tell anybody... :)
Hey, mine too! So, I just changed the password to all asterisks.
It just seemed easier to remember that way. :)
That's a good idea! I'm glad you thought to change it :).

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- At least eight bills dealing with Washington state wolves are prowling their way through legislative hearing and committee rooms this session as lawmakers tackle one of the most divisive issues to emerge in decades.
The wolf controversy exploded during the summer of 2012 when ranchers recorded their first substantial losses and State Fish and Wildlife Managers destroyed an entire pack they say had grown too dependent on a herd in Stevens County.
Lawmakers on both sides of the wolf issue say that was a nightmare scenario that must be avoided in the future. One bill would give ranchers what they say is the reasonable right to shoot and kill wolves they catch in the act of attacking livestock or pets.
Other bills designed to protect ranchers would allow counties to establish their own emergency removal methods, create public funds for reimbursing ranchers who lose livestock to wolves, and a tongue and cheek bill that would relocate wolves from eastern Washington to western districts where outspoken wolf supporters live.
Bills to protect wolves include one that would bar ranchers from grazing their livestock on public lands if they refuse to adopt non-lethal hazing methods that are proved to deter wolves from attacking cattle.
Meanwhile some ranchers attending a hearing Tuesday say they have already signed agreements with the state to use those techniques and are willing to work on ways to co-exist with a rapidly growing Washington state wolf population.

Big Scores and Drama Unfold at ASP PRIME O'Neill Cold Water Classic
SANTA CRUZ, California / USA (Friday, October 28, 2011) – With unfavorable tides on offer at the primary venue of Steamer Lane after Round 1, event officials at the ASP PRIME O'Neill Cold Water Classic opted to relocate to the backup venue of Waddell Creek and the two-to-four foot (1 metre) wedgy peaks proved to be the perfect platform for a high-performance showdown.
For the first time in O'Neill Cold Water Classic history, today's action saw the event relocate three times, completing Round 1 at Steamer Lane before moving to Waddell Creek for Round 2 and finishing the day by diving into Round 3 back at the event's primary venue in improved conditions.
Josh Kerr (AUS), 27, was thrilled regarding the decision to relocate to Waddell Creek for Round 2 and reveled in the beachbreak ramps while putting on an aerial clinic to combo the field en route to his heat win.
"It's nice not to be hassling behind the rock at The Lane and to get a beach break and have your own peak," Kerr said. "There are plenty of chances which suit my game. I'm excited to get back to The Lane again for the man-on-man heats and not have to deal with those four-man heats."
Kerr built momentum throughout his heat before lofting the day's highest single-wave score of a 9.43 (out of 10) while accumulating the highest heat-total of O'Neill Cold Water Classic California competition, 18.36 (out of 20).
"I already had a couple of little scores under my belt and was feeling pretty good so I was trying to do something cool," Kerr said. "I just got that section and flung the rotation and I'm kind of stoked I stuck it. It was kind of a hail Mary where you just throw it out and see what happens."
Miguel Pupo (BRA), 19, put together an impressive Round 2 heat including a 17.10 (out of 20) total score compliments of his patented forehand aerial game at Waddell Creek.
"The heat was pretty good, I was happy to come down here because at The Lane it was pretty hard to surf," Pupo said. "You could see in Jordy (Smith) and Bede's (Durbidge) heat in Round 1, it was gnarly, but there wasn't much surfing going on. I'm happy to come down here and I was lucky."
Pupo, who joined the ASP World Tour at the midyear rotation, is looking to capitalize on the crucial ASP PRIME points on offer at the O'Neill Cold Water Classic to solidify his position among the ASP Top 34 before year's end.
"I want to get a result here because I have a couple dropping before Hawaii," Pupo said. "I want to get some results and hopefully make the cut again and hopefully find my feet on the World Tour."
Pupo went on to defeat Kolohe Andino (San Clemente, CA), 17, in the opening heat of Round 3 at Steamer Lane in the afternoon.
Julian Wilson (AUS), 22, who has been building momentum on the ASP World Title Series, dominated the right-handers on offer at Waddell Creek with quick and powerful tail-drifting turns to advance to Round 3 and is hoping to use the O'Neill Cold Water Classic as the perfect opportunity to acclimatize to the conditions similar to the upcoming event in San Francisco.
"This is a great opportunity to stay sharp for San Francisco," Wilson said. "I've pretty much had the last six months in a row and I don't really have anything I have to go home for. I'm really enjoying what I'm doing and it's been so much fun going to all of the events. I've been learning a lot and I want to prepare myself as much as possible for San Francisco. I'm just getting acclimated to the weather because it's a bit colder than if I were sitting at home."
Nathan Yeomans (San Clemente, CA), 30, 2009 O'Neill Cold Water Champion, was another goofy-footer who lit up the high-tide conditions on offer at Waddell Creek to take his Round 2 heat with committed airs and powerful turns.
"Everyone was getting plenty of waves and there were plenty of opportunities, which was nice," Yeomans said. "I came down right when they made the call and went for a little surf and switched boards. It's just a fun beach break and there are more options and I think at Steamer Lane, when it's small, it really comes down to that one wave or two. Out here everyone caught a bunch of waves and it was more about who was on and who was pushing themselves and I think that's how the scores went down."
Yeomans admittedly struggled at the O'Neill Cold Water Classic over the early years of his career but feels his experience has helped him find a rhythm in Santa Cruz.
"I've always loved it up here, but I swear, when I was a grom I didn't make a heat for five years," Yeomans said. "I thought I was cursed here. Then I had that win two years back and I made the Quarterfinals here last year. It's really a wave-catching contest at the Lane and I think that's why the locals shine. You have to get that wave that allows you to surf it through and you've really got to be on those waves. I've kind of got in a rhythm with it and it's treated me well."
Raoni Monteiro (BRA), 29, got off to a slow start in his heat, but found a rhythm in the end of his Round 2 bout to launch from third to first, eliminating defending O'Neill Cold Water Classic Champion Matt Wilkinson (AUS), 23.
"In the beginning I was kind of lost out there, I didn't know where to sit," Monteiro said. "My first wave was a low score and then I found my better waves. I'm stoked I won that heat because Wilko (Matt Wilkinson) is a top World Tour surfer and I'm happy to beat him. He's last year's champion and I hope I win this year."
Monteiro, who launched back on to the elite ASP World Tour stage with a win last year at the O'Neill World Cup at Sunset Beach, is hungry to back up his ASP World Ranking points at this year's O'Neill Cold Water Classic California in order to maintain his position among the world's best surfers.
"Last year's win for me was a big win for me, probably the biggest of my career," Monteiro said. "It made me feel like I was ready to surf against the big surfers again and allowed me to qualify for the first half of the World Tour year. I'm looking for another big result so I'm on the World Tour for the beginning of next year."
Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 7am local time for a possible 7:30 start. For all of the LIVE O'Neill Cold Water Classic California action log on to www.oneill.com/cwc

Congrats Travis. I missed you . Lets go shoot something soon
Nice job. Cool looking rack on that buck.
Congrats Travis. I missed you . Lets go shoot something soon
Congrats! Late season muley desert archery hunts are the best.
Very cool buck, congrats!
Congrats! Nice deer. How was the weather out there?
Nice buck Dr.! Sounds like you had a great time
-NRA Life Member
Funny you ask, I left Reno and weather was highs in the 30s. I get down there and lows were in the 30s. That didnt last long. They broke a whole bunch of cold weather records. It was 1 degree when I woke up one morning. That cold snap lasted almost 2 weeks! One of the reasons I decided to go down there was to get OUT of the cold. By week 3 though it warmed up nice and I actually received a sunburn stalking deer.
Good job Travis! Cool that your family spent the time with you too. Good looking buck and I'll bet some good eating too.
Here's an idea for you since your kids were along with you. My kids ALL TIME favorite breakfast is venison steaks dredged in flour and pan fried in butter. Make a gravy out of the drippings. Cook up some pancakes and have venison steaks, pancakes and gravy (kinda like biscuits and gravy, only better). That's my go to meal when I want my kids to be happy...they love it!

Praised for its Southern charm and hospitality, The Willcox has been recognized by the same national publication for a second consecutive year.
The Willcox was included in Travel + Leisure's Top 500 Hotels worldwide for 2013 with a score of 94.25 out of 100. In 2012, The Willcox was 32 out of 50 on the World's Best Hotels list.
"It's just a very humbling award," said Geoff Ellis, who owns The Willcox along with his wife, Shannon. "It's just a really wonderful feeling to be named amongst the grandest hotels in the world. We feel this is such a wonderful, grand hotel for our community, and it's wonderful that other people are recognizing it, as well."
The Willcox is a 114-year-old hotel with 22 rooms – seven of those are suites.
The Ellises said that, for a small hotel, it has a lot to offer.
The Willcox includes a restaurant serving gourmet meals, and a spa which is open to both overnight or day visitors.
The magazine described The Willcox as a place that "feels more like home than a hotel" with rooms that look as if one has "just stepped into Scarlett O'Hara's house."
The Ellises said The Willcox is a place for both Aiken residents and those from far away to enjoy.
Shannon mentioned that, when visiting a new place, meeting those who live there is an exceptional way to get to know that city or town, and those staying at the hotel can mingle with residents who are enjoying a nice meal or glass of wine at the bar.
The couple believes that the publication's recognition is not only great for them but also for Aiken.
Since the hotel has been featured in the magazine, calls from curious travelers have come in, and more are researching not only the facility but the city itself.
The Ellises said that, when they first bought the hotel several years ago, they noticed that people came to Aiken for a particular reason, whether it was for business or an equestrian event. Now, more people seem to be seeking pleasure in Aiken and taking time to enjoy the city, they said.
"We're all so proud of Aiken," Shannon said. "It's really great to see people coming in and genuinely enjoying our city for what it is."
Shannon added that it's wonderful to watch some of the hotel's guests come back after a day of exploring with multiple shopping bags from downtown Aiken.
"It's a huge privilege for us and for Aiken to be honored in this way because they (Travel + Leisure) have a large number of people who read that magazine," Shannon said.
The hotel continues to build memories through the experiences of its guests, and some of those memories were established by well-known, historic figures who stayed there including Winston Churchill, Count Folke Bernadotte of Sweden and Harold Vanderbilt, just to name a few.
The hotel's influence in the community expands pasts its luxuriously-decorated rooms, soothing spa treatments and flavorful meals.
The Willcox holds cooking and cocktail classes, features art exhibits, hosts a variety of events and offers catering.
The Willcox also has a food truck that travels to different events and on Fridays, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., they park it at the UPS Corporate Offices near Golds Gym, 2031 S. Centennial Ave., and 10 percent of those gross sales go to the United Way.
The Ellises said they are so grateful for all of their patrons and are always open to suggestions.
"We are 100 percent here to cater to the customer," Shannon said with a smile.
The Willcox is located at 100 Colleton Ave. S.W.

Bill Murray visited The Willcox last fall
Actor Bill Murray was in Aiken last fall and made a stop at The Willcox.
Murray didn't stay the night but took a tour of the hotel and spent some time in the Roosevelt suite. Though it wasn't clear at the time, it was later determined that Murray was interested in the suite and the hotel's history because of his role in the new film, "Hyde Park on Hudson" in which he plays 32nd U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt.The room is named after the president who spent some time at the hotel. Roosevelt would enter through the rear of the hotel from a railcar that pulled up right behind the building.Murray has been acting since the early 1970s and continues to star in a variety of movies. He is known for being part of the original "Saturday Night Live" cast, as well as acting in a long list of films including "Caddyshack" and "Groundhog Day."Willcox owners Shannon and Geoff Ellis said Murray was a very nice individual and it was a pleasure meeting him.Staff photo by Amy Banton Geoff and Shannon Ellis, owners of The Willcox, enjoy some sun and relax in the rocking chairs on the front porch of the hotel.

Winning Numbers
Draws take place every day after draw entry closes at 6:30 p.m.
Find the closest retailer »
Find a Daily 4 retailer close to home, work or your favorite coffee shop. With more than 21,000 California Lottery retail locations, a place to play is never too far away.
Pick four lucky numbers from 0 to 9, marking one number per row on a Daily 4 playslip. Or, play randomly generated numbers with Quick Pick®.
Next pick your playstyle: Straight, Box or Straight/Box.
One playslip can hold up to five plays using your lucky numbers and you may play as many playslips as you like.
To play the same numbers and playstyle for consecutive draws, just mark Advance Play®.
Daily 4 has three different playstyles:
Straight - Your numbers must match the winning numbers in exactly the same order.
Box - Your numbers must match the winning numbers in ANY order.
Straight/Box - This is a combination of both the Straight and Box playstyles and your $1 play is split evenly between the two ways of winning. If you match the winning numbers in exact order, you win approximately half the Straight prize plus approximately half the Box prize. If you match the winning numbers in any other order, you win approximately half the Box prize only.
Advance Play
Advance Play allows you to play multiple draws with one purchase.
You can play the same numbers and playstyle for 1-7 or 14 consecutive draws on one playslip by marking the Advance Play box.
Note: Make sure to mark your numbers with either blue or black ink. And if you make a mistake, don't erase. Just mark the VOID box.
Player's Strategies
A shared prize pool means that less-played numbers have a better chance at bigger prizes. For this reason, some players try to select less-played numbers with the hopes to split the prize pool with fewer people.
Find number frequency »
Remember, to win Daily 4 all of your numbers must match all of the winning numbers. Each number is independent of the other three numbers. That means, if the winning numbers are 3-3-1-2, you must have a three, another three, a one, and a two in your chosen numbers to win.
Give your playslip to the store clerk along with $1 for each play to receive a Daily 4 ticket, which is your receipt.
Your ticket displays your numbers and selected playstyle for each play, the draw date and the dollar amount paid.
Always check th accuracy of your numbers and sign the back of your ticket.

Petersburg Pass, NY (WNW)
This link explains the wind barb notation used above.
Wind map explanation: The first column lists ground level winds, the second column shows winds at 3000ft ASL. The numbers represent hours ahead of the current time. As you scroll your mouse downward over the numbers, you are looking into the future forecast. Note the UTC time/date on the map. Scrolling up and down will help you make visual assuptions about the wind direction and velocity trends.
How do I interpret this data?
What you probably want to look at is the 3000ft (2nd column) wind direction and velocity at 1800 UTC on the day you plan to fly. If the color is brown, then it is likely good for flying. If it is light blue (15-20 knots @3000ft) then it might be blown out. If it is the darker blue or higher, then it is most likely blown out. This is assuming that you plan to fly at a mountain site. For kiting and coastal soaring, the ground forecast should be sufficient. Always use your own best judgement and common sense!

I love this!
I love this dress so much. It is perfect for traveling and the print is on trend. I like the column shape of it as well and think the quality is perfect. I would def recommend it and would buy it in other prints if they had it. I am 5'2" and the length of the xs was just right.
November 20, 2013
maxi dress!
This is a very cute dress. I think that it is black white keeps the print from being overwhelming. My favorite part is actually the drawstring tie in the middle because it's subtle, but really defines your shape all the way around. I find that sometimes my waist can get lost in a maxi dress so this is a great feature. I consistently wear an xs at Limited and this is no exception, although I do find the bust a tiny bit snug (I am a 34C), especially since there is no stretch at all in this fabric. I'm still really happy with it.
November 7, 2013
Great Dress
I was a little hesitant about buying this dress because I wasn't sure if I really liked the print but this was actually a great purchase. This dress can be worn with flats or heels and I get a lot of compliments. I would definitely recommend it.
October 24, 2013
nice dress
The fabric doesn't wrinkle, or maybe it just doesn't show because of the busy print. You can throw it in a suitcase with no worries. It washes well and I hang it to dry. It's very lightweight, so it keeps you cool. The print is not very slenderizing, but it also doesn't show bulges either. I usually wear a lightweight sweater over it (The Limited's pointelle open cardigan) because I don't care for the extreme cut-out style at the shoulders. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and I'd recommend it to others.

Weird fit
This might work for someone else, but not for me. The top was really small. Great length, but had to return.

The AILA Career Center offers more than access to the best possible industry candidates.
AILA Doc No. 01052399 | Dated May 22, 2001
Judy Golub
AILA Senior Director of Advocacy
202-216-2403; Fax:
Passes Limited Section 245(i)
Extension with Additional Restriction:
Four-Months is Not Enough Time and Restriction is Unworkable
Washington, D.C. -- The House of Representatives on May 21 passed a limited extension of Section 245(i) by a vote of 336-43. H.R. 1885 would extend the Section 245(i) deadline for only four months, while also requiring beneficiaries to demonstrate that the required familial or employment relationship existed on or before April 30, 2001. "While this proposal ultimately may expedite the passage of an extension, said Jeanne Butterfield, Executive Director of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, "the four-month window would offer insufficient time, cause needless delays and hardships for people seeking Section 245(i) relief, and prove difficult for the INS to administer. We call on Republican Congressional leadership to get behind a measure that will work for immigrants, their American citizen families, their communities, and this country. We also call on President Bush to support a longer extension with no additional requirement."
"While we are concerned with the short four-month window," continued Ms. Butterfield, "we also are concerned about the impact of the new requirement." Given this new requirement, INS would have to issue a new regulation which would take them a minimum of three months." The short four-month window, along with the new requirement, will cause panic and confusion among immigrants and create an opportunity for unscrupulous and fraudulent immigration "advisors." Past experience argues for a clean extension of a longer period of time without new provisions.
"We hope that the final measure that Congress passes," said Ms. Butterfield, "moves closer to the bill introduced in the Senate, S. 778, by Senators Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Edward Kennedy (D-MA)." S. 778 would extend the Section 245(i) deadline for one-year without the restriction in the House proposal.
AILA strongly supports the extension of Section 245(i). Immigrants on the brink of becoming permanent legal residents should be able to file their green card applications from within the United States, rather than having to travel back to their home countries and possibly face draconian consequences that would prevent them from returning to America for years. Without Section 245(i), people fully eligible for green cards can be bared from returning to the United States for three or ten years. Restoring Section 245(i) is pro-family, pro-business, fiscally prudent, and a matter of common sense. Section 245(i) allows immigrants with close family members here in the United States to remain with their families while applying for legal permanent residence; allows businesses to retain valuable employees; and provides INS with millions in annual revenue, at no cost to taxpayers.

I often wonder what the test hardware is that is used by Xorg developers.
Intel HD10000, ATI 9999, Nvidia 974 ZT:
I'm exaggerating the device models but it's so hard to identify the premium from the heavy duty.
I've just been noticing Xorg slowing down.
My oldest machine -- P3 with a Trident chip -- chokes on just X and fluxbox.
Everything is configure to optimal settings. Even the tricks to turn off PAE and compiling for the chipset don't generate any better performance.
Then I was thinking maybe glibc had some sort of emulation for CPU extensions.
Tried a second machine with a Nvidia 6200pci -- p4 celeron -- that chokes on a lot it shouldn't.
So what I did was take an old distribution -- Slack 12 / 2.6.21 -- and compile a newer kernel for it (2.6.36). I didn't see any regressions in Xorg performance.
So that rules out the kernel.
True that it may be the case nobody uses these ancient systems anymore. I've just lost touch with where OSS is going in terms of the general population of hardware.
My core-duo/i945 is starting to show it's age.
Matrox G200 ships in servers sold by Dell. 1600x900 isn't going to happen. Maybe at 8bpp but I've no proof.
Vesa is still usable but only with reduced resources. Even then I've found it unbearable.
Just some random thoughts I had.
I noticed nobody has posted to this thread yet.

TamiHairBlondeCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairGreat Hair Straightener For Busy MomWith two kids, a (more than) full time job and plenty of other things I'd "like" to be doing with my time, wasting precious time straightening my naturally frizzy hair is the last thing I want to do. But looking presentable is important to me, so I have (finally) delved into the world of truly high-end hair straighteners... And I think I may have fallen in love. After wasting my time and money with cheaper brands from local retailers, I finally spent a little time researching various top quality brands on the internet, which led me to Solia. I was leery of the thin iron (1") because while my hair is thin, I have a lot of it, but the thin iron hasn't slowed me down. The 1" iron gets plenty hot enough that one swipe is all I need, and it's thin enough that I can flip the ends if I'm so inclined, without wasting any additional precious time. All in all, I've been pleased with my latest hair care purchase. Money well spent, especially considering it wasn't remotely the most expensive flat iron on the market. Also note worthy: using basic shipping, I had my new flat iron in hand in less than a week.

SavannaFloridaHairThick or Coarse HairIt's Okay...I received this straightener 3 days ago. I'm already returning it. I was so excited to get a new nice flat iron instead of my $25 target one. I used this straightener on my sisters hair and it didn't have a good grip. It was smooth gliding. It just didn't get the job done for this thick haired girl!posted Nov 29, 2012Link to this post
Carolyn M.Radcliff, KYHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairBest Iron Ever!I love everything about this flat iron. It straightens my hair pin straight and it stays straight all day. It also curls my hair very well and gives me great waves. My hair never stays curled with a curling iron so that is saying a lot. I got the 1" and I have very long hair and it works great. It heats very quickly and has the swivel cord which I love. I use it 2-3 times a week, sometimes more, and I have had it for 6 months. I really don't think I will be getting a new one or a different brand any time in the near future.posted Nov 27, 2012Link to this post
AmandaNYCHairBlackDry HairFine or Thin HairMy Everyday Flat IronI mostly use this flat iron while my hair is still damp. It dried and straightens at the same time. I use a heat protectant l on my wet/damp hair before I section off my hair for the ironing. This is my second favorite iron. I love my Sedu but that doesn't work well with wet/damn hair. The Solia cut down my hair prep time because I don't have to blow dry first. Great for mornings when I have to rush to work. What I don't like: The floating plates, it snags my hair. I didn't realize this had floating plates. Otherwise I would have opted for another iron that does wet/dry hair. Now curling with this is easy too...but I haven't gotten the hang of it yet. Practice makes perfect. Have to practice more.posted Nov 14, 2012Link to this post
MonaMontrealHairDark BrownCurly HairSolia Gloria!I was straightening my hair way back in the 1980's before flat irons existed (with a crimper!) and have since tried every iron I could get my hands on. Ceramic irons were pretty good, but when the Solia came out with the tourmaline technology, I was finally satisfied! It's hands down the best iron I've tried because it leaves my hair smooth, not frizzy and I can get it straight in under 15 mins. Also, I don't feel that my hair is damaged even though I use the iron almost daily. I would recommend the 1 inch over the wider irons because it's easier to handle and it can be used to curl your hair as well as straighten it!posted Oct 30, 2012Link to this post
Mara G.United StatesHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairAmazing Product! So Worth It!I've had this straightener for going on 6 years now and it has always done a great job.

AnnaHairMedium BrownNormal HairHardcore Iron, And Great Hair!I just bought a new Solia flat iron about 2 weeks ago. That was after 5 years of my old Solia. I was so pleased that it lasted so long. I never even had trouble with it! The only downfall was that my old one squeaked, but my new one is quiet! I also never feel like this straightener is burning my hair off, and it always looks nice and shiney when I am done! You should totally get it!posted Oct 8, 2012Link to this post
SEast CoastHairDark BrownNormal HairDry HairChemically Treated HairQuality DecreasedI bought the 1 3/4 inch version of this Solia flat iron in Fall 2009 and it STILL works beautifully, making my hair really smooth and straight. I just wanted to trade my 1 3/4 inch for the 1 inch so I could do curls with it. Unfortunately, Solia's quality must have gone down in the past few years because I compared both of them on the same heat setting (370 degrees) and the new 1 inch made my hair puffy (as if it wasn't hot enough) and did not straighten smoothly. Whereas my 1 3/4 inch, which is 3 years old, performed much better. I'll be keeping my 1 3/4 inch and returning this 1 inch. I'm disappointed. Won't be purchasing Solia again, once my current one actually breaks.posted Oct 7, 2012Link to this post
Ejama B.Chicago, ILHairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairBest Flat Iron I Ever HadI bought these flat irons about 2 months ago. I have really thick bushy hair that has a perm in it. I tried these flat irons and i absolutely love them. They get really HOT and I only have to go over my hair with the flat iron once. I used to spend hours flat iorning my hair before I had these, going over and over the same piece of hair. They really give your hair a smooth, shiny, polished salon look. Now when I do my hair everyone thinks I've been to the salon. I definately recomend this product to anyone. They are dafinately NOT a waste of $$.posted Sep 18, 2012Link to this post
DanielleNew Brunswick, CanadaHairNormal HairCurly HairColor Treated HairCrappy SchrappyI purchased one of these in January 2007 and worked beautifully for three and half years. I absolutely LOVED this flat iron, the quality was top notch. Anyone who I ever used mine also love it. After it died... i used a couple other brands and was always disappointed. A year ago (July 2011) I decided to order another one and although I didn't love it as much as my first one, I still felt it was a great iron. I decided to go ahead and order my mom and sister one for Christmas. Mine quit working shortly after the holidays and both my mom and sister's irons have since died. I don't think any of them have worked longer than 8 months. VERY disappointing in the diminishing quality of something I very much loved before.posted Sep 8, 2012Link to this post

Last week, 500 members or so of Canada's food and hospitality industry gathered for Terroir VI at the newly renovated Arcadian Court. The theme for this year's symposium was "The New Radicals," a new generation of chefs that have a collaborative and unconventional approach to cuisine despite their conventional training. Symposium chair Arlene Stein had arranged a line up of the industry's finest from Canada and abroad, assembled on panels featuring restaurateurs, writers and chefs from the old and new vanguard—most attendees agreed this year's crop was the best yet (before the event we spoke to Australian chef Ben Shewry, as well as sustainable aquaculture champion Barton Seaver and natural wine advocate Alice Feiring.). New to the event was the GE Monogram Terroir Awards, a peer-nominated pool that recognized chef Ryan Crawford (of Stone Road Grille in Niagara-on-the-Lake), sommelier Will Predhomme (Canoe) and Virgilio Vea (food and beverage director at Langdon Hall) as being industry leaders. Check out our roundup of who showed up and what they ate from our slideshow of the day.

Well, it's a good thing no-one actually uses the fedora codenames...
Phoronix: Fedora 11 Is Codenamed Leonidas
Since early December the Fedora community has been generating possible codenames for Fedora 11. Earlier this week the final voting took place where the active Fedora contributors had to ultimately decide on the codename to use for this next Linux release. The final choices were Blarney, Brasilia, Claypool, Duchess, Euryalus, Indomitable, Leonidas, and Zampone...
Well, it's a good thing no-one actually uses the fedora codenames...
A release named Leonidas? Oh boy. Cue the "This is SPARTA!!" jokes...
This is madness.
I see battalions of yum-crazed packages, konquering your desktop as the Anaconda installer yells "Μολών λαβέ!!!" at them. Fedora Leonidas surely will slay all other distributions: if it can't do it through market share grabbing... it will stab them to death! Prepare yourself, Ubuntu: Leonidas is going to eat jackalope soup for breakfast!
Seriously, this name could infuse morale into the Linux battlefield against Seven, a much stronger Windows than Vista. The timing is tight, and KDE 4.3 is our only choice to face Windows Seven.

In second place was.. what?
1. Leonidas 1108
2. Indomitable 1054
3. Claypool 944
With 300 bugs per installation.

Birthday fun Sunday on the Beach. Max wanted to go fishing for his birthday. His dad Alan brought him, his brother Eli, and friends Gordy, Grant, James, and Rajan. Alan's friend John jumped on to help with the kids. Capt. Mark took half the group and I the other. We fished in the Lake Machias area and the kids had a blast filling up the fish boxes on both boats with Trout, Reds, and Drum. We fished with Campo's live shrimp both under a cork and on the bottom. Lots of fun was had by all and the kids took home gallon bags of fillets for party favors. My kind of party.
The fishing in Shell Beach is outstanding and the fall fishing is on fire. The next three months will be some of the best fishing of the year. There are still some open dates so book yours soon. Campo's is open with fuel, live bait, ice, and two back down ramps. Nice and easy launching with helpful advice from the Campo's is waiting for you. For your next fishing adventure call United Charters. Very nice over night accommodations are available. 504-439-1680.

JessicaHairBlondeThick or Coarse HairBest Buy Yet!For a long time, i had seen my friends using the clipless curling iron and wanted to try it out. I have thick, wavy hair, so I was thinking about purchasing the 25mm Jose Eber iron, but just couldn't spend all that money on it. Folica always has great giveaways, and one day, I grabbed at getting 25% off my entire purchase! It was the best purchase I have ever made! There are tutorials online that you can watch, and my hair came out beautiful! I've gotten tons of compliments every time I wear my hair that way. Can't believe what a good buy it was! I would definately encourage everyone to get one.posted Aug 30, 2011Link to this post
Sharon C.Hong KongHairDark BrownDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairAaahmazing. No JokesThis curling iron is amazing. I bought it with one of the 25 off $75 deal and it would have been really good value if I was living in the US there would be free shipping but shipping to Hong Kong was like 50 dollars which was really expensive but still worth it.
The curling iron is really great smooth quick curls finished in about 5 to 15 minutes depending on the style, it heats up super quick and you just wrap a strand of hair for about 2 seconds and it will curl already.
It gets real hot but just be careful, luckily it really doesn't burn your hair much.
buy it if you want a clip less iron.

JessicaHairMedium BrownNormal HairMy First Clipless IronI have never owned a clipless curling iron before, but like the wavy curl this 1" iron produces in my long thick hair. It's very lightweight and I like the swivel cord, but it's unfortunate it doesn't have a kick stand. It comes with a glove, which is good, but you still have to be careful how close to the iron you hold your hand. I haven't beev curling my hair for long, but you quickly get a hang of it without using the glove. I will say though that I was able to achieve comparable results by using my classic HotTools pink titatinum so not sure I really needed to invest in this one.posted Jul 14, 2011Link to this post
KatieUnited StatesVery DisappointedI got caught by one of the guys at the mall, and he did my hair and of course it looked fabulous. He sold it to me for $125, and said he usually sells it for $250 (BS!). I got home and tried it on my long hair, and it was very difficult. Once it was done, I slept in it...just to test his theory that the curls will hold for 24 hours without hair spray. I woke up and they looked horrible! Ive continually tried to curl my hair, and the glove sticks to the hair around your curl, making it difficult to curl JUST the part of hair youre wrapping around the iron. Not only that, but the glove is NOT heat proof. Its a basic, one dollar gardening glove. Very disappointed in this, and the worst part is...all sales are final! UGH!posted Jul 9, 2011Link to this post
AllisonHairBlondeDry HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairGreat For An Amateur Like Me!I have NEVER had any luck trying to figure out curling irons with clips. I'm not one of those girls that is naturally an expert at applying makeup and doing hair. I tend to just always blow dry and straighten my naturally frizzy/wavy hair without much changeup. I've always wished I had more creativity and artistry with doing my hair... and now, thanks to this curling iron, I do! If I can master the art of using this curling iron - anyone can. It's so easy! I used the heat proof glove at the beginning, but now that I have more experience curling my hair, I don't need to use it as long as I am very careful how I hold my hair and the iron. It would be very easy to accidently burn yourself using this device, so you have to be careful. However, I've been using it for months and haven't burned myself yet... knock on wood.
I got the largest barrel iron and it curls my long hair beautifully. I have thin, dry hair so the curls add a lot of body to my hair and look way better than just wearing it flat and straight. The usual compliment I get is strangers asking me if i just got my hair done at the salon. For an amateur like me, that's the ultimate compliment!
The iron heats quickly, is easy to use, and the curls really LAST even after a night of sleep on them. I can't recommend this product enough! It has really changed the way that I do my hair. Also, it's relatively quick to use. I can style my hair just as quick as if I was straightening it with a flat iron. It takes about 7 minutes to do my hair once it is dry.posted Jun 30, 2011Link to this post -
Jackie M.ArkansasHairMedium BrownThick or Coarse HairJose Eber Clipless Curling IronI purchased this for my daughter in college. She has very thick hair and it doesn't hold a curl.

RachelHairDark BrownFine or Thin HairPerfect Lasting Curls!I bought the largest sized barrel and get the most perfect loose curls! I always receive compliments on my hair when I use this iron. I prefer this over curling my hair with a straightener because there is truly a difference in the curl.
