I think it's cute for the nearest & dearest. I did a mini reveal to my mom, grandmother & sister over brunch...I told them I would be showing up with my nails painted either pink or blue...and I showed up in Opera gloves in August! It was a fun moment. But overblown Pinterest style parties seem a bit much. I mean, bringing pink or blue cupcakes to work is cute, but making it into a huge spectacle is a bit much. I mean, my extended friends and family were already devoting a weekend day to my shower, a post- baby visit, ect...

When my fiancé and I have children I think I will probably either do a gender reveal party where everyone finds out because 1) I love parties and throwing them (I used to work part time as a wedding planner) and 2) We have plenty of family and friends around that would want to celebrate any and every milestone with us, or do a gender reveal photoshoot with just DH and I because my sister is a photographer and how fantastic would it be to show your future children how excited you were when you found that out about them... Plus we take photos for almost every occasion.
I don't see gender reveal parties and baby showers as an either/or sort of thing. For one most baby showers are thrown for you by someone else and are typically women only affairs, plus where I live baby showers are almost a given as they are more a celebration of the baby and parents. Yes a lot of people do give gifts, but by no means does everyone register for the creme dela creme of baby gear. Meanwhile, gender reveal parties, at least to me, are more of a large party.

I think it's sort of a cute idea but it also seems a bit boring/overdone to me..but if someone wants to do it, cool. My sister is planning one around Thanksgiving, and they are doing the typical thing: doctor will write down gender, my sister will take it to the bakery, they will make the cake with the inside pink or blue, sis picks it up and...yeah. I'm curious to know what the baby will be but I'm not excited about the party thing..especially the cake..that seems a bit overdone.
I doubt I would ever have one.. I already have some ideas on announcing my future baby's gender (nothing to do with parties lol)

My cousin had one where only the grandparents and godparents were invited. They all found out at the same time. She cut a plain white cake, and on the tray it said "It's a Girl". The next day was Easter, so they filled some plastic eggs with pink M&Ms to tell the rest of the family. Anyone that wasn't family found out through Facebook photos of the eggs.
I would want to do something kind of similar. I have never heard of a gender reveal party where gifts were expected. It was more of a show up and eat sort of gig.Last edited by birdies; August 8th, 2013 at 02:08 PM.

The President's Ghost: A Hauntology of Democracy. MLA 2011 (Los Angeles 1/6-9)full name / name of organization: A Special Session (subject to MLA approval) contact email: firstname.lastname@example.com Presidents of the United States and presidential candidates have a long history of "writing" autobiographies which skillfully enact and construct a piece of political theater. The public's complicity in desiring a "war hero" president enables such posturing. However, the political performance ultimately becomes restrictive and the public becomes confused when the president or candidate betrays expectations. The politician's desire to manipulate inauthentic portrayals is itself subject to contradiction. The ghostwriter is essential in this political theater: As national fabular, the President's ghostwriter must be the first to believe the public fable. This is the dialectic we wish to examine: the contradictory multiple realities between the political theater and the willful public self-deception. Further, what part does the speechwriter play in the creation of what Hobbes called the key component of a democracy: the "aristocracy of orators"? As a means to this, we wish to closely read the presumably "non-fiction" literary works of the presidents. Such literature might consist of text, film or television. So long as the text itself is worthy of close-reading and is conspicuously inauthentic or hyper-real. We are open to any theoretical approach. Topics might include: This is for a special session at MLA 2011 in Los Angeles (subject to MLA approval).

i think that's a touche
i think that's a touche
I'm confused?
I think he is talking about the sweet salto/suplay that Dremiel Byers hit to ice his Olympic spot (I can never remember which is which, Byers hit a front to back throw, and it was a beauty).
If I recall correctly, a touche is a touch fall. Is that what he means? Because it wasn't a touch fall, a 5 point throw ends the period.

Ontario, Canada • Lefty - backhand
Scott's reviews
Logan Gardens › January 22, 2013
Course layout was well defined with tee pads, distances and pars at the blocks. The baskets were very beautiful and looked aesthetically pleasing and appeared to made by the parks department ... but... the there was not chain ring at the bottom of the chains and there were not enough chains so they were too tight making putts into the basket relatively impossible so we considered hitting the chains square being "in". Although despite all that I still managed an ace on hole 8 a Z Crush that skipped into the basket.
Eddison Park › January 15, 2013
Great park with lots of trees that make great obstacles. There are no tee pads or tee signs or maps. Great potential but needs some disc golfer love.
Little Lake › August 22, 2012
Great map, tee signs, flow. Tee pads are not my cup of tea but they worked better than I thought they would... wondering how they play in wet and snowy conditions? Very technical course that utilises the area well inter-twined a multi-purpose park.
Waterworks › April 18, 2012
Tee pads could be longer but it is very nice to have concrete in the forest!!! Some access areas to climb the hills could have the steps fixed. In an attempt to remove the leaves and loose sticks on the course it is removing materials that make the fairways very muddy.
River's Edge at St. Julien's Park › April 5, 2012
Tee signs just need replaced. Fairways well maintained. Baskets in good condition. More garbage and recycling cans would be beneficial as well. Some great challenging holes, righty, lefty, roller, straight, and dog legs.
University of Guelph Magnolia › January 9, 2012
This course can be considered short from the AM tees but provides a lot of challenges where drives have to go over or around trees a short distance from the tee blocks. There are a lot of opportunities for some excellent roller shots. The course should be easy to par for season players but there are many traps that can cost you a stroke or two on a couple of holes.
E.T. Seton Park › November 15, 2011
Course is new in the ground for less than a year and thus tee locations / signs have not been formally determined. There was confusion on finding the tee pads and in the mean time there should be temporary markers. Newbees we saw on the course were just zig zagging across the fairways and making up their own course. Designed for better players with multiple basket locations that in the long position is not friendly to get more people playing the game. In two circumstances due to the bottlene ...

Shade's Mills Conservation Park › November 6, 2011
There is a lot of growth on this course with not many holes where you can see the basket from the tee. Fairways are very tight on some holes and are not forgiving with tightly grown undergrowth of vines and bushes that make it hard to punch out of forcing to throw over them or lose a stroke by hitting wood. Not a good course in the summer as the vegetation has leaves making finding discs almost impossible. Not a bad early spring, late fall and winter course.
Lake Whittaker Conservation Park › October 10, 2011
One of my favorite courses. Tight fairways with lots of guard trees for lefty and righty players to play around or through. Favours Leftys more than Rightys which works for me but would force Rigthys to play different shorts rather than just hyzers. Beautifully maintained with very defined cut fairways. Change would be to move or level tee pad for 12 and 15 blues, move a couple of the tee signs as there is the potential to run you hand into it and put distances on the signs.
Pittock Conservation Park › August 12, 2011
Redesigned course in July 2010. Tee signs installed in June 2011. Course map and score cards available at gatehouse.
Some fairways and landing areas need to be cut wider to allow for amateur players a chance to find their disc and shot from the short grass. Spotters required on at least 3 or 4 holes due to long grass and weeds.

Secure Communication using Identity Based Encryption
Roschke, Sebastian and Ibraimi, Luan and Cheng, Feng and Meinel, Christoph (2010) Secure Communication using Identity Based Encryption. In: Communications and Multimedia Security - CMS 2010, 31 May - 2 June 2010, Linz, Austria. (In Press)
Abstract: | Secured communication has been widely deployed to guarantee confidentiality and
integrity of connections over untrusted networks, e.g., the Internet. Although secure connections are designed to prevent attacks on the connection, they hide attacks inside the channel from being analyzed by Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Furthermore, secure connections require a certain key exchange at the initialization phase, which is prone to Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks. In this paper, we present a new method to secure connection which enables Intrusion Detection and overcomes the problem of MITM attacks. We propose to apply Identity Based Encryption (IBE) to secure a communication channel. The key escrow property of IBE is used to recover the decryption key, decrypt network traffic on the fly, and scan for malicious content. As the public key can be generated based on the identity of the connected server and its exchange is not necessary, MITM attacks are not easy to be carried out any more. A prototype of a modified TLS scheme is implemented and proved with a simple client-server application. Based on this prototype, a new IDS sensor is developed to be capable of identifying IBE encrypted secure traffic on the fly. A deployment architecture of the IBE sensor in a company network is proposed. Finally, we show the applicability by a practical experiment and some preliminary performance measurements. |

(August 31, 2011) A bird specimen that sat in a drawer at the Smithsonian for nearly 50 years has been revealed to be a totally new species to science, the first in the United States for 37 years.
The discovery of the true identity of the bird was thanks to a sharp-eyed scientist at the Institute for Bird Populations (IBP), who realized that the specimen had been misidentified after it was collected on Midway Atoll in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands in 1963. Differences in measurements and physical appearance compared to other similar species were confirmed by DNA analysis, and the bird was given the name Bryan's Shearwater, Puffinus bryani.
"I was doing research for a book I was working on, dealing with birds of Hawai'i when I came across this particular specimen of a seabird that was identified as a Little Shearwater. After examining the specimen, I knew that what I was looking at was not a Little Shearwater or anything else that occurred in the Pacific basin. Ultimately, I decided we needed to do the DNA testing, which determined that we had a completely new species," said Peter Pyle, the IBP researcher who made the discovery.
Researchers rarely discover new species of birds, most of the world's 9,000-plus species (including about 21 other species of shearwaters) having been described before 1900. The majority of new species described since the mid-1900s have been discovered in remote tropical rain- and cloud forests, primarily in South America and southeastern Asia.
The Bryan's Shearwater is the first new species to be described from the United States and Hawaiian Islands since the Po'ouli was discovered in the forests of Maui in 1974. The Bryan's Shearwater is the smallest shearwater known to exist. It is black and white with a black or blue-gray bill and blue legs. Biologists found the species in a burrow among a colony of petrels during the Pacific Ocean Biological Survey Program in 1963.
The Bryan's Shearwater is closest in morphology to the Boyd's Shearwater, which is found in the Atlantic Ocean, but is more genetically distinct than all its other shearwater cousins. Based on this DNA evidence, researchers estimate that the Bryan's Shearwater separated from other species of shearwaters perhaps more than 2 million years ago. These findings have been published in a paper, A new species of Shearwater (Puffinus) recorded from Midway Atoll, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, in the current issue of the scientific journal The Condor.
Researchers do not know where Bryan's Shearwaters breed today. According to Pyle, shearwaters and other seabirds often visit nesting burrows on remote islands only at night, and researchers have not discovered the breeding locations of many populations. Individual seabirds from colonies also often "prospect" for new breeding locations, often far from existing colonies. Bryan's Shearwater could conceivably breed anywhere in the Pacific Ocean basin or even farther afield.
"We don't believe that Bryan's Shearwaters breed regularly on Midway or other Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, based on the extensive seabird work in these islands by biologists with the Pacific Seabird Project," Pyle said. The specimen was the only observation during this extensive project, which occurred on islands and atolls throughout the North Pacific from 1963 until 1968. "They would almost certainly have encountered more Bryan's shearwaters then and since if they bred regularly in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands."
Given that Bryan's shearwaters have remained undiscovered until now, they could be very rare. It is sadly even possible that they went extinct before ever being recognized, although there is at least one more record of a bird in a burrow on Midway from 1990, and observations at sea of what could be Bryan's Shearwaters as recently as 2005.
"If we can find where this species breeds, we may have a chance to protect it and keep it from going extinct," said Andreanna Welch, who works for The Smithsonian and is the co-author of the paper on the new species. "Genetic analysis allows us to investigate whether an animal represents an entirely different species, and that knowledge is important for setting conservation priorities and preventing extinction."
"American Bird Conservancy is not opposed to the judicious collection of specimens for scientific reasons, we oppose the collection of endangered species. If this bird had been found today, the data needed could have been obtained using digital imagery and DNA sampling on the live bird," said ABC Vice President Mike Parr.
Bryan's shearwater is named after Edwin Horace Bryan Jr., who was curator of collections at the B.P. Bishop Museum in Honolulu from 1919 until 1968.
American Bird Conservancy (ABC) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit membership organization whose mission is to conserve native birds and their habitats throughout the Americas. ABC acts by safeguarding the rarest species, conserving and restoring habitats, and reducing threats, while building capacity in the bird conservation movement.

($45; 44% mourvedre, 26% grenache, 25% syrah and 5% counoise) Dark red. Exotically perfumed aromas of smoky cherry and dark berries complicated by black cardamom, violet and tobacco. Chewy dark fruit flavors flesh out with air but maintain focus, gaining a candied licorice quality on the close. Refuses to let go of the palate but is in no way sloppy. On the contrary: this displays outstanding energy and brilliant mineral lift.

We finished off the tasting with small verticals of their Esprit de Beaucastel and Panoplie. From a warm vintage, the 2005 Esprit de Beaucastel is drop-dead gorgeous! Oozing notions of saddle leather, currants, cherries and smoked meats, it is fully resolved and supple on the palate, with full-bodied richness and depth. I seem to score this wine higher each time I taste it (tasted twice in 2009 and rated 93 and 94 points) and while it's in the middle of its drink window, it should hold for a number of years. Drink now-2020.

TEC Is Looking for Talent!
TEC Is Looking for Talent!
Written By:
Sarah Gibson
March 21 2012
I've been working at TEC for a year now, helping our team of Analysts as they manage their demanding workloads, nurture their ideas, and provide interesting content to our two-million-plus subscribers.
It's a pleasure to hash out ideas and watch as the organic process of writing and editing results in new angles and fresh approaches to software industry issues.
As we expand the scope of our content, which largely means keeping a pointed focus on the data in our models (i.e., What's new in SCM? How can we ensure our ERP space is totally current? Which new vendors or products do we need to add to the fold in the next quarter?), I am constantly on the lookout for new talent to add to the team.
If you're interested in a dynamic career in Montreal as an Industry Analyst, and have substantial business analysis experience in the software sphere as well as a passion for writing, I would be pleased to discuss the possibilities with you.
Also on the same team are our intrepid Project Managers whose business is to guide companies through the complex and turbulent process of selecting the perfect-fit enterprise software solutions for their needs. Our PMs fly far and near to consult on requirements, demos, and final selection, and train clients on using our proprietary tool,
TEC Advisor
—a wizard of a program that brings together thousands upon thousands of end-user requirements with many more thousands of vendor features and functions. It's a tried-and-true methodology, pairing knowledgeable, confident PMs with dynamic and decision support software that contains the latest data across almost all industries and niches.
In our effort to continue providing this successful service to clients around the globe, we're looking for multilingual, experienced PMs who are at ease with guiding clients through detailed requirements gathering, process analysis, and technical exploration through TEC Advisor.
Travel features strongly in this role, as does careful documentation and expert client handling. We've developed a very successful approach to software selection and rely on our PMs to keep these projects on track. If you think you have what it takes and you've got proven client and project management skills, drop me a line and we'll see if there's a match!
I look forward to hearing from you.

COLUMBIA — Wednesday will be the eighth day this year that Jefferson and West junior high students will be dismissed at 11:30 a.m. because of heat conditions.
Smithton Middle School will also release its students early, at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, because of a problem with its air-conditioning unit. District spokeswoman Michelle Baumstark said she hopes the unit will be fixed in time for classes Thursday.
Jefferson and West are the only two public schools in Columbia that don't have air conditioning throughout the building. Baumstark said that because of their age, both buildings are difficult to air-condition; they were built for air flow from windows, not modern air conditioning.
Jefferson Junior High School, at 713 Rogers St., is a little more than 100 years old. West Junior High School, at 401 Clinkscales Road, is 51 years old.
The National Weather Service is forecasting a high temperature of 99 degrees Wednesday with a heat index as high as 102 degrees. During the morning while class is in session, both schools will have water breaks and fans in the hallways.
The continued heat dismissals for Jefferson and West will not affect the length of the academic year because students do not have to make up these days, Baumstark said.
These heat dismissals will still count as full days. Students attend all of their classes and go to lunch — although both are abbreviated — and regular bus routes run.
Also, Baumstark said, there is no limit to the number of early dismissals the district authorizes as long as they don't interfere with the state's requirements of 1,044 class instruction hours per school year.
The district plans to present bids for air conditioning at West and Jefferson to the Columbia School Board in October, she said. The estimated cost for each is $3 million to $4 million.
The timeline depends on information from the proposed bids and the extent to which the buildings must be changed to accommodate air conditioners.
Baumstark said it's not as simple as plugging an air-conditioning unit into the buildings. Engineers will most likely have to redo electrical work in the buildings, replace the windows and possibly work on the ceilings.
The ideal time these changes would occur would be summer 2013 for one building and summer 2014 for the next building, Baumstark said.
Reactions from parents about the string of heat dismissals have included understanding the safety concern for students and worry that the dismissals are hurting the level of education their children receive, Baumstark said.
Because of the number of classroom hours lost, teachers have had to provide more instruction in less time.
"Teachers are doing the best they can in the situation they've been given," Baumstark said. "Safety is the most important thing here. High-quality education is not possible when the building is as hot as it is."
Supervising editor is Elizabeth Brixey.

Church Fire in Tallahassee, Florida
Around 6pm, on September 5th, Tallahassee Fire Department responded to multiple reports of a church fire on Ausley Road, in the city.
First in units reported heavy smoke from several blocks away and requested a second alarm.
Arriving on scene, companies reported heavy smoke showing from the attic and rear roof line of the church. Shortly after, heavy fire conditions were visible from all sides of the building.
The fire quickly spread, and the decision was made to go to a defensive operation due to rapidly deteriorating conditions inside.
The building sustained major damage, and the fire was brought under control with no injuries reported.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

If you get paid to develop a website, you should have this book. As the title says, "Web Bloopers" (along with its companion website
) details 60 of the most common (and annoying) design mistakes committed by web developers and then tells you how to avoid them.
Each blooper is explained in words as well as in pictures (snapshots are taken of various sites around the web), and then the author explains why the blooper is so bad and how to avoid it. As with any design, there are trade offs, sometimes you have to commit one blooper to avoid another, but as long as you realize that's what you're doing, you're gold. This book is very well organized. The title of each blooper is a good summary of the problem. The index in the back helps you to quickly find examples both good and bad (and it also lets you see if you're company has been made an example of) the author even points out some blooper's in his own publisher's website).
If everyone who is responsible for creating websites took the time to read this book, think about the user, how intuitive their site is, and how easy it is to glean information from it, the Internet would be a much nicer and friendlier place. I highly recommend this one.

Historical records show that Bacolor has been in existence as a prosperous settlements as early as 1571. When the Spaniards under the leadership of Ferdinand Blumentrit arrived that found"Baculud". Its original name meaning high level ground.
The first settlers of Bacolor were believed to be Malayans that came from Atjeth Sumatra led by Panday Pira. It is believed to have been founded by Monmon, first cousin and sister-in-law of Malangsic, a son of Prince Balagtas. However, historians recorded the official foundation of Bacolor to have occurred in 1574 through a landlord named Guillermo Manabat, whose palatial house and resting place is now the site of the San Guillermo Church, hence the church's name.
The name Baculud was changed to Bacolor when the Spaniards came to the place. It was recorded to have been the first capital of Pampanga for two centuries (1698-1904) before San Fernando was declared the capital town of the province in July 1904. In 1757, the provincial building, Casa Real, was constructed at the place where the Bacolor Elementary School is located.
In the year 1762 after the fall of Manila to the English invaders, Governor General Simon de Anda retreated and made Bacolor the seat of the Spanish Government. It was the seat of government from October 6, 1762 to May 30, 1764 and practically served as the Capital of the Philippines. Thru, a decree of the King of Spain on November 9, 1765, Bacolor became "Villa de Bacolor", one of the only three villas in the Philippines and was granted a Special Coat of Arms. Simon de Anda organized an army of natives with which he finally recaptured Manila from the British invaders. The coming of the American colonizers broke up in the military form of government and instead political and economic reforms were introduced. A civil form of government was organized and was inaugurated on February 13, 1901 by Com. William H. Taft which took place in the old "Escuela de Artes y Officios de Bacolor", (formerly named Pampanga School of Arts and Trade) now known as the Don Honorio Ventura College of Arts and Trade. The first Provincial Civil Governor was Don Ceferino Joven and the first Municipal President of Bacolor was Don Estanislao Santos.
Pampanga was acknowledged as the first province to have organized civil government in the Philippines by General Grant, the then President of the United States of America.
Bacolor's festivity is celebrated every 10th day of February and the La Naval Fiesta is being held every 3rd Sunday of November.
Bacolor took the center stage of the national history in the last decade of the 20th century when the Mt. Pinatubo eruption devastated 95% of the whole town, burying 18 out of its 21 progressive barangays.

California thrash metal veterans SLAYER were forced to cancel tonight's (Monday, August 2) concert at 013 in Tilburg, Holland after the band's guitarist, Kerry King, came down with "a horrible bout of food poisoning." SLAYER's publicist told BLABBERMOUTH.NET earlier this afternoon, "[Kerry] couldn't keep anything down and was REALLY sick. He was taken to the hospital and has been getting liquids (he's been able to keep those down), so he is definitely doing better. But he was so sick, there was no way he would have been able to play tonight's show. The doctors say he'll be back on stage tomorrow night [for the second of two shows at 013]."
On August 17, 2010, SLAYER's DVDs — 2003's "War at the Warfield" and 2004's "Still Reigning" — will be reissued, and, for the first time ever, 1995's "Live Intrusion", having been digitally remastered, will also be available on DVD. All three will be sold separately at retail and online ($13.98 each), and the limited-edition "Slayer Live DVD 3-Pak" ($29.98), will be available exclusively on SLAYER's web site, www.slayer.net. Every one of the SLAYER live-in-concert DVDs represents a different era of the band: "Live Intrusion" was recorded on March 12, 1995 at the Mesa Amphitheatre in Mesa, Arizona and features guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, and drummer Paul Bostaph; "War at the Warfield" was filmed at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco, California on December 7, 2001, and like "Live Intrusion", features drummer Paul Bostaph, marking his last release with SLAYER before original drummer, Dave Lombardo, rejoined the band; Filmed at the Civic Center in Augusta, Maine on July 11, 2004, "Still Reigning" — also gold-certified and voted Best Live DVD by the readers of Revolver magazine — was directed by Dean Karr and recreates SLAYER's thrash/punk, 28-minute classic 1986 album "Reign In Blood" performed in its entirety.SLAYER Guitarist's Food Poisoning Forces Tilburg Cancellation

GMO detection using a bioluminescent real time reporter (BART) of loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) suitable for field use
1 Lumora Ltd, Bartholomew Walk, Cambridgeshire Business Park, Ely, Cambridgeshire CB7 4EA, UK
2 Cardiff School of Biosciences, Biomedical Sciences Building, Museum Avenue, Cardiff CF10 3AX, UK
BMC Biotechnology 2012, 12:15 doi:10.1186/1472-6750-12-15
Published: 30 April 2012Abstract
There is an increasing need for quantitative technologies suitable for molecular detection in a variety of settings for applications including food traceability and monitoring of genetically modified (GM) crops and their products through the food processing chain. Conventional molecular diagnostics utilising real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and fluorescence-based determination of amplification require temperature cycling and relatively complex optics. In contrast, isothermal amplification coupled to a bioluminescent output produced in real-time (BART) occurs at a constant temperature and only requires a simple light detection and integration device.
Loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) shows robustness to sample-derived inhibitors. Here we show the applicability of coupled LAMP and BART reactions (LAMP-BART) for determination of genetically modified (GM) maize target DNA at low levels of contamination (0.1-5.0% GM) using certified reference material, and compare this to RT-PCR. Results show that conventional DNA extraction methods developed for PCR may not be optimal for LAMP-BART quantification. Additionally, we demonstrate that LAMP is more tolerant to plant sample-derived inhibitors, and show this can be exploited to develop rapid extraction techniques suitable for simple field-based qualitative tests for GM status determination. We also assess the effect of total DNA assay load on LAMP-BART quantitation.
LAMP-BART is an effective and sensitive technique for GM detection with significant potential for quantification even at low levels of contamination and in samples derived from crops such as maize with a large genome size. The resilience of LAMP-BART to acidic polysaccharides makes it well suited to rapid sample preparation techniques and hence to both high throughput laboratory settings and to portable GM detection applications. The impact of the plant sample matrix and genome loading within a reaction must be controlled to ensure quantification at low target concentrations.

I actually think the Angell vet section is useless. To get a definitive diagnosis regarding YOUR pet's problem, you need to actually have the animal examined by a vet. You can get general inforamtion from any online forum.
This entire section is virtually dead anyway, so asking people to make a dontation or pay to ask a question is likely a fruitless endeavor. It's going to chill an already cold section.
And honestly, your disdain for Kargiver is ridiculous. She can do nothing or say nothing that you will not find fault w/. As a regular poster, you are well aware of [or should be] the fact that if no one posts to a thread, it can get buried. Kar thought your idea of donations to the Vet were a good idea and posted so this thread would rise to the top. Yet, you find a problem w/ that. Even though you 'bump' your own posts on a regular basis. Unbelievable. -

Friday, 05 Oct 2007 09:49 AM
By Lowell Ponte
Among the cornerstone dogmas of authoritarian liberalism is that those who oppose it should be silenced.
Foremost among the censors preaching this dogma has been failed Democratic Party presidential aspirant and Clinton lackey Gen. Wesley Clark.
Clark has repeatedly called for removing conservative talk-host Rush Limbaugh from the weekday hour America's most popular conservative voice is allotted on the Armed Forces Radio Network.
Clark's pretext is Limbaugh's recent remark about "phony soldiers" — a handful of Iraq war critics who lied about their military credentials — words that leftists have twisted out of context to suggest that Rush insulted all soldiers who oppose the war.
With the left's effort to extinguish free speech intensifying, let's use what light remains before the coming dark age to share more that the liberal media has suppressed. Today's question: Who is this self-appointed censor Wesley Clark?
Born Dec. 23, 1944, Clark spent most of his childhood in Little Rock, raised by his mother Veneta and stepfather Victor Clark. His father Benjamin, who died when his son was five, was an assistant prosecuting attorney in Chicago, a Fourth Ward candidate for office, and a local Democratic activist. After his death, Wesley's mother and her son — like Hillary Clinton — moved from Illinois to Arkansas.
After graduating first in his class from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1966 and studies in England, Clark commanded a mechanized infantry company in Vietnam, was wounded four times, awarded one Purple Heart, and won the Silver Star and two Bronze Stars. While in Vietnam he converted from Southern Baptist to Roman Catholic.
Like Bill Clinton, Wesley was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. Unlike Clinton, Clark was studious. In August 1968 he emerged with a Master's Degree in philosophy, politics and economics. He speaks fluent Russian.
The Rhodes Scholarships were created by British imperialist Cecil Rhodes to "educate" the brightest American youngsters in England, a once-secret codicil in his will made clear, so that they would go home and help bring America back under the political sway of the British Empire.
Wesley Clark's career in the U.S. military was solid but not stellar. It included a variety of backwater assignments as well as one high point, White House Fellow 1975-76.
But an unexpected bolt from the blue would suddenly change Clark's life from military mediocrity into a skyrocket ride. He was named commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, III Corps, at sweltering Fort Hood southwest of Waco, Texas.
On a late winter day in 1993, Texas Gov. Ann Richards suddenly called the base, later meeting with Clark's No. 2 to discuss an urgent matter.
Crazies at a Waco compound had killed Federal agents. If newly-sworn-in President Bill Clinton signed a waiver setting aside the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally prohibits the military from using its arms against American citizens within our borders, could Fort Hood supply tanks and other equipment?
Wesley Clark's command at Fort Hood "lent" 17 pieces of armor and 15 active service personnel under his command to what became Clinton's extermination of the Branch Davidians — the death, mostly by fire, of at least 82 men, women and children, including two babies who died after being "fire aborted" from the dying bodies of their pregnant mothers.
Was Clark at Waco in person to help direct the assault against the church compound in a scene remarkably similar to the incineration of villagers in a church by the British in Mel Gibson's movie "The Patriot?"
Planning for this final assault involved a meeting between Clinton Attorney General Janet Reno and two unidentified military officers. Leftist journalists Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair wrote that the ruthless battlefield tactics used at Waco are strikingly similar to those Clark has used.
During the Clinton era, some officers in U.S. Marines commando training were given mysterious questionnaires asking if they would obey a command to shoot American citizens who disobeyed an international law that required them to disarm. By a similar method, Communist China selected the elite troops who could be trusted to gun down 1989 student protestors at Tiananmen Square.
Immediately after he bowed to the Clintons' potentially-illegal request for weapons at Waco, Wesley Clark's flat, fading career began an incredible meteoric rise.
In April 1994 he was promoted to director of strategic plans and policy for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In June 1996 Clark was named commander in chief of the U.S. Southern Command in Panama and put in charge of most U.S. forces in all of Latin America and the Caribbean.
In June 1997 President Clinton appointed him commander in chief of the United States European Command and SACEUR, Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, in command of the forces of NATO, a position Clark would hold until May 2000.
As SACEUR Gen. Wesley Clark collected a truckload of honors. He would prosecute Clinton's war siding with Muslim Kosovars against Christian Serbians in the Balkans. Clark would also be photographed embracing Hashim Thaki, head of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) that was accused of torturing, abducting and "disappearing" people.
This war was largely fought from high altitude aircraft to minimize American casualties, an approach that increased civilian casualties. Clark, as Time magazine reported, soon acquired a reputation for lying about such casualties.
When Russians took over one provincial airport in the region, Gen. Clark commanded British forces to attack the Russians. British Gen. Sir Mike Jackson reportedly refused, saying: "I'm not going to start the Third World War for you!"
"Known by those who've served with him as the 'Ultimate Perfumed Prince,'" wrote veteran military combat soldier and journalist Col. David Hackworth about Wesley Clark, "he's far more comfortable in a drawing room discussing political theories than hunkering down in the trenches where bullets fly and soldiers die."
This general who owes his success to Clinton political promotions is eager to muzzle the free speech of conservative radio talk-host Rush Limbaugh. Clark's gagging of such conservative media voices would pave the way to a new Clinton presidency — and future Wacos.

Author/Date | Send connection with iScribe v2.28 in Win7 64 resolved |
pseudocanuck 11/02/2011 1:50am |
Using IMAP4full. I had a problem with my send connection. Got the dialogue "Couldn't open connection to server". Sometimes there was no log being recorded. Other times the following: Using 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Memecode\Scribe\ssleay32.dll' Using 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Memecode\Scribe\libeay32.dll' Error: ScribeSSL.cpp:407 - BIO_do_connect failed.SSL connection closed. Failed to connect socket to myisp.com:25 I tried a number of things, such as: Tried disabling AV, then firewall. No change. Tried reentering password in Accounts>Send. No change. Checked out AV & firewall for permissions. Everything seems OK. Changed Send SSL to TLS. No change, except that "couldn't open connection" showed faster. Tried IMAPfetch, then POP3, reiterating the above. No change. Changed SSL on Send to None. That works, either with IMAPfetch, IMAPfull or POP3, and with the following log: 220 myisp.com ESMTP lavad EHLO myisp.com 250-myisp.com 250-8BITMIME 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 1073741824 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN 250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN 250-Okay. 250 STARTTLS AUTH LOGIN 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 Uk1NMDEyNjExQGxhdmFiaXQuY29t 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 U2hhd2luaWdhbjkwNQ== 235 Authenticated. MAIL FROM: <email@example.com> 250 Sender okay. RCPT TO: <xxxxx> 250 Recipient okay. DATA 354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself. Wonderful. But now, I'm using avast! anti-vi. (Great AV program, BTW). Avast! says it requires that SSL be disabled because it can't scan encrypted content. It provides its own SSL after scanning. Avast! showed the usual dialogue after I initially set up connections within Scribe: "SSL must be disabled in your client". My experience w/ Outlook Express and Outlook shows that this disablement is done automatically by avast! while leaving settings within the client unchanged. It seems that with Scribe, avast! needs the SSL Send setting at None, while for receive it needs SSL enabled in the client (log shows unsecured connection for Receive when Receive SSL set to None). I include all the above in case it might be useful to anyone using avast! Now I have a question myself: If the log is showing TLS security being used upon Send, is that a guarantee that it's being used in reality? I'm asking because of the strange fact that, when SSL for send was selected, disabling AV still did not permit the connection. Also, manually changing the Send connection used by avast! to port 465 & SSL instead of what it chose as default (port 25 & TLS), doesn't change the log, and the connection still works. Regards. |

I am having the same ssl send error. The last known working version for me is v2.26 which I am still using. The next versions I tried were v2.28 and v2.29
My last post to the forum is in message: Installed i.Scribe for USB - now MAPI32 doesn't work No firewall. No anti-virus. Regular up-to-date service pack XP Pro 32 bit. (Yes I'm living dangerously without all that protection which would consume more resources than the entire OS - my choice.) The ScribeOptions.xml should stay intact, same ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll. I make a zip backup and install on top the existing. When it doesn't work, delete the install and restore the zip backup. |

Eight manufacturers fight for escalating ADT sales using surprisingly diverse combinations of features
Sales of articulated dump trucks in North America grew 44 percent in 2004 and are expected to increase another 15 percent this year. It's not a flash in the pan. Construction Equipment's Universe Studies indicate that the total number of artic trucks in the United States has grown more than 70 percent in ten years, and the number of firms that own them has increased 37 percent.
The population of hydraulic excavators has grown faster than ADTs since 1999. Skid-steer loaders have not quite kept pace. But the supply of articulated haulers is curious because of the recent decline in brands competing for its growing sales.
New Holland and Link-Belt abandoned the ADT business within the past 18 months, even as Case added two important models (35-ton and 40-ton machines) built by the CNH joint venture with Astra. Hitachi bowed out in North America years ago.
Of course the reasons for these changes are complex, but the background music, as always, is economic. The key difference between ADTs and other equipment-industry market tigers is that there are fewer than 10,000 of them at work here. That's a fraction of the excavator market — where the population is greater than 160,000 — or skid-steer loaders, with about 300,000 units working in construction. There are too few ADT sales to go around, especially to support brands that have marketing alliances with companies who continue to sell articulated trucks in North America.
The eight manufacturers offering articulated haulers in North America today are doing a masterful job of product differentiation, each striving for the upper hand in what appears to be a marketing dogfight. The battle is in close quarters. Virtually the entire market is confined to just four size classes — 25-, 30-, 35- and 40-ton trucks. JCB alone markets ADTs rated at 14, 18 and 22 tons. Meteoric growth of the ADT market raises the stakes considerably. With list prices for these machines averaging about $12,000 per ton of hauling capacity, there's real money at stake.
The ADT's ability to carry loads quickly, and over rough terrain, fuels the category's growth even while it challenges the buyer's economics. You invest $350,000 or $450,000 in a truck to use when haul roads are bad. They have top speeds, loaded, in the neighborhood of 35 miles per hour. They tend to get broken. Their rough life results in residual values somewhat lower than other machines of similar investment. So the unique application directs many ADTs to the rental fleets.
"About 80 to 90 percent of 35- and 40-ton ADTs are rentals for the first three years of their life," says Dave Wolf, product marketing manager at Case. "It's probably because of the initial cost getting into them, and a lot of it has to do with jobsites. The contractor needs them for a short period of time on a certain job, and then they move on."
Conditions on the next job may not demand an ADT. But you can afford to use an ADT on less-than-demanding conditions if the overall investment was not so steep. Recent product developments suggest that manufacturers are striving to improve reliability and residual values.
Caterpillar redesigned its rear suspension mounts with more steel and shaped rate plates, intending to improve reliability and durability of this crucial part. The front driveline in Case's new 35- and 40-ton trucks routes power directly from a limited-slip differential on the transmission to the front wheel ends, eliminating a driveshaft. Moxy's new MT41 is designed with an additional 3,000 pounds of machine weight than the truck it replaced, even though the engine is smaller by two liters.
In the past two years, wet-disc brakes have become universal on 40-ton ADTs, and transmission retarders have become nearly as common. Huge braking demand of the biggest class of trucks and horrible operating conditions made dry discs (which are used on most smaller ADTs) a maintenance problem. Case and Moxy's new 40-ton trucks were both introduced with those lines' only sealed, oil-cooled brakes, and Terex upgraded the TA40 with them. Cat, Deere, Komatsu and Volvo have used wet-disc brakes for years.
Despite widespread adoption of a few important features, though, competing trucks are fairly unique. For example, in many other types of equipment you find the same Cummins or Cat engines used in several brands. But each of the seven pairs of trucks in the 35- and 40-ton classes is powered by a unique diesel engine. Engines from Case/Iveco, Detroit Diesel, Komatsu, Mercedes Benz, Volvo, Scania, and Cat are represented. Case and Terex use the same Cummins models in their 25- and 30-ton trucks, but at different horsepower ratings.
All the ADTs on the market run automatic transmissions, and ZF drivelines would be nearly universal among ADTs if not for the integrated manufacturers (Caterpillar, Komatsu and Volvo) building their own engines, transmissions and axles. Caterpillar and Volvo choose planetary-style transmissions for their trucks but Komatsu breaks ranks with the integrated manufacturers, claiming that its countershaft transmissions require 30 percent fewer parts.
All the manufacturers that assemble drivelines from OEM-supplied components use ZF countershaft-type gearboxes, except John Deere. Deere chooses ZF planetary-type transmissions for its 25- and 30-ton trucks and Allison World planetaries for its 35- and 40-ton trucks.
Which is the best combination of engine and transmission? That's a judgment that might best be made at the seat of the operator's pants. Low-emissions diesels now have electronic-fuel-injection controls that can be integrated with electronic-control systems on a powershift transmission's hydraulic clutches. In a sense, the engine and transmission cooperate, and the control systems adjust engine speed and clutch pressure to make the smoothest possible shifts at the right times to avoid interrupting power to the wheels.
Suspension designs may be the most-varied feature in the ADT market. Each manufacturer seems to have a different philosophy in using A-frames, multiple linkages, or torsion tubes and combining laminated steel-and-rubber mounts with hydraulic shock absorbers and nitrogen-charged accumulators. It's another one of those performance features that may be most measurable by how the truck feels from the operator's seat.
That doesn't mean suspension performance should be taken lightly. It determines how productive ADTs can be in bad conditions. How well the suspension soaks up impact can also be the key to a truck's reliability and, inevitably, its resale value.
