My wife and I are very pleased with our new chairs they are great for accent chairs in our family room. as other reviews mention the color is muted this is true but not a big deal just not as bold as some might assume these colors might be overall we love them. One chair arrived damaged I called immediately and they shipped out a new one they would not send it any quicker than my original shipping time oh well new chair arrived 5 days later at 7pm in perfect condition. would recomend these chairs do not be nervous for the price theyare unbeatable we shopped at ***/***/*** all start around $450 plus for one chair only
This Chair is perfect, goes with all color decor, very comfortable with the use of pillow for your back, it runs deep. The pattern is modern and the price is excellent couldn't find anything this good in the stores, thinking of getting another one.
I received this chair fast and all but the legs of the chair was put together. It makes it sooo much easier than having to rent a car to have it delivered or pay for delivery if bought at a store. The chair fits nicely in the corner in my bedroom. The colors go very well with my bedroom set and I could not be more pleased. Thanks O.com!
This is a great chair, The colors are perfect. My only complaint is that the pattern on the fabric was not lined up correctly. The rows of dots go somewhat diagonally across the front of the chair which bothers me, but maybe other people won't notice it like I do. I probably wouldn't have bought it if I had seen it before buying, but it is a good little chair for the price.
These chairs are very hard, not squishy at all. But they look great and the students like them. They were shipped very fast and the shipping price of $1 was GREAT! Target and Ikea want a bloody fortune to ship, so I went with Overstock and was very pleased.
This chair fits perfect with my couch of which is a solid color, My family love and feels very comfortable . I recommend anyone to buy it !!!!!
Poor quality. Fabric off centered. Weird smell. Huge mistake
I love the chairs. They were comfortable and compared to other retail stores these were a great bargain.
If you are looking for a good looking chair for a small price, it will work for you. Based on the build quality, I don't think it will survive daily use.
We bought two of these chairs. We just assembled them yesterday, and have only sat in them once. The fabric is very cheap and is already coming apart - it's like when burlap threads spread apart. We are very careful with furniture. This is so disappointing!!

The Motley Fool is on the road in Seattle! Recently we visited Coinstar -- now officially renamed Outerwall (NASDAQ: OUTR ) -- to speak with CFO-turned-CEO Scott Di Valerio about the 22-year-old company's well-known coin-cashing machines, as well as its more recent acquisition of Redbox, and future initiatives to expand into other aspects of the automated retail market.
In this video segment, Scott argues that there's plenty of room in the streaming video space; Redbox Instant doesn't have to beat out Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ) or Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN ) Prime to succeed. The full version of the interview can be watched here.
A full transcript follows the video.
The television landscape is changing quickly, with new entrants such as Netflix and Amazon.com disrupting traditional networks. The Motley Fool's new free report "Who Will Own the Future of Television?" details the risks and opportunities in TV. Click here to read the full report!
Austin Smith: Now, obviously there's a lot of incumbents in the streaming space. We can't talk about this without saying Netflix and Amazon Prime. Are they your biggest competitors here, or am I misreading it? Do you think about it differently?
Scott Di Valerio: Yeah, I think our competitor is people's time, is what we look at. What are people going to choose to do for their entertainment value? Certainly those folks are in that space across there, plus a whole host of other people as well.
We think we are very well positioned because, for customers who love movies, you've got a service where you get new release content. We're the only service that can bring new release content, and the physical aspect of it, as well as the streaming in there.
What you're really doing is getting real new release content when you want it, how you want it, and then be able to get your stream from around that.
Again, we're doing the business in a different way than some of the competitors on the streaming side. We are paying for content on a per-subscriber basis, which means each subscriber we bring on for Redbox Instant is gross margin positive.
It's different than ... a lot of our competitors are buying content up front and having to build up the subscriber base in order to be able to cover off the costs, so they run negative a much longer time period than we will, from a profitability standpoint.
Because of the way that we're structured and running the business, we can be the number three or number four streaming business, and still be very, very successful, both for us and for Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) .
Smith: It's because of that margin dynamic.
Di Valerio: The margin dynamic, and the fact that we're combining new release content at the kiosk, on a physical basis, along with the stream, which is something that people are finding very compelling.
Smith: Now, the new release issue has definitely been a user negative, leveled against Netflix and Verizon. What is it about you guys that allows you to bring new releases to users? I think a lot of people aren't really familiar with the dynamic of why some of the streaming people have to wait and why you're able to get the new release content out there earlier, in front of users.
Di Valerio: There's a couple of ways to get new release content from the studios. One is physical, which certainly we do here at the kiosk, and are really focused on that as a company. The other way is through what they call paid video on demand -- not the subscription video on demand -- so to pay $5-$6 to view a movie at home on your TV.
Really, we provide that same content at $1.20 for standard def and $1.50 for Blu-ray. People are continuing to buy Blu-ray players at very high rates. People love to get that physical disc and put it in, because there isn't a better way, from a Blu-ray perspective, to get really high-definition quality picture and sound. The way you get it is through the disc. You can't get that through a stream.
We feel very good about that. We obviously are focused on it, and we think that combination, as you look at Redbox Instant, combined with Redbox on the physical side, is a winning combination.
Smith: Good combo there for users.

Apparently throughout history, America has needed some help with its hygiene. Posters were made to promote such virtues as rubbing yourself with a coarse towel for four minutes and avoiding that vixen of death we call syphilis. If you're too lazy to sift through the archive above, then click on the samples below to view a few of my personal favorites: ::: posted by dan at 5:06 PM :: [ link ] :: (7) comments

Hi everyone! I don't think that I've introduced myself yet. My name is Taylor, I have a beautiful 15 month old daughter, and am about to make a huge step in my journey to surrogacy.
I'm informally working with an agency (haven't signed anything, but they're actively looking for couples that might match well with me). I'm pursing traditional surrogacy, so the match process is long, but they have a couple who is ready to start ASAP and I got an email today asking when I'd like to meet them. I'm sooo nervous all of a sudden. I really hadn't been worried before now, but I'm getting butterflies AND cold-feet.
Is this normal? Does it mean that I'm not fully committed to this process? I saw the email, which I knew would be coming eventually, and my heart started racing!!
I need some encouragment!

Poor amenities to blame, say General Hospital workers
The network of roads on the General Hospital premises is dotted with potholes and has ceased to even resemble a tarred pathway, owing to the decrepit state it is in most parts.
Hospital staff indicated the section that led from the main wards, down to the yet-to-be-occupied new surgical building, and to the mortuary which the staff members said was growing increasingly difficult to negotiate, especially because they need to carrying bodies at times.
Hospital Superintendent Fazeelath Beevi said a Rs.24-lakh proposal had been submitted to the Directorate of Health Services (DHS) for the renovation of roads.
The plight of road had even irked employees who complained of being overburdened. They said they were in support of the two women attendants who had been suspended following the incident on Saturday when a body reportedly fell to the ground while being taken to the mortuary.
The two employees were present on Sunday during the Minister's visit and they maintained that they had not dropped the body.
One spoke to K. Muraleedharan, MLA, and sought to revoke the suspension. He said any action would be based on the report of the Director of Health Services.
A worker said, "most of the time it is women who have to carry bodies down these roads and sometimes even during the night." The path was ill lit and they used torch-light brought from home or relied on their mobile phones, she said.
Dr. Beevi said streetlights had been faulty only for the past two days. "Since the age-old mortuary can accommodate only five bodies, it is only very rarely that staffers get to go down that road," she said, adding that some of the infrastructural issues within also stemmed from delays on part of the Kerala Water Authority and the Kerala State Electricity Board.
The workers said they had to take care of patients in more than two wards, when ideally there should be at least two taking care of one ward. Proper upkeep of the premises was difficult as the building was old and water supply disruption regular, the workers said.
Dr. Beevi said construction of overhead water tanks was also being considered. "Once the new surgical building becomes operational, this will be absolutely necessary," she said.

Title: | A Scalable Platform for Integrating Horizontal Nanochannels with Known Registries to Microchannels |
Published: | December 08, 2008 |
Abstract: | A new method for in-situ fabrication of nanochannels is developed which allows adjusting their average pore size to an unprecedented range of 5 nm to 20 nm. It is shown that nanochannels with different but controlled pore sizes are selectively fabricated at known positions on the same surface. Equally important, nanochannels, either single or group, are addressable photolithographically and integrable to microchannels without the use of any high resolution lithography. Formation of nanochannels is examined by cross-sectional electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. This technique uses horizontal ZnO nanowires as template and provides the capability of parallel fabrication of nanofluidic platforms. |

ChaminadeUniversity is Hawaii's only Catholic university. Its on-campus and online programs emphasize academic excellence and preparation for professional careers. The university's online program is extensive, and can be fully completed online, or in a hybrid format for either undergraduate or graduate studies.
The school is guided by the traditions of Catholic, Marianist and liberal-arts education values, and so it encourages not only academic achievement, but also development of moral character, competence, and a personal commitment to build a just and peaceful society.
Chaminade University's online program allows students to log on to coursework at times convenient to the student. In addition, there is asynchronous participating in discussions and course assignments. The school uses "eCollege" to deliver the curriculum of its online coursework. Technical support is available 24/7 through e-mail or phone.
The university's program in Criminal Justice is the largest and oldest in Hawaii, preparing students for careers in criminal justice, criminology, law enforcement, corrections and administration. In addition, there is a special undergraduate track that offers a minor particularly for students interested in Federal law enforcement and justice employment. The special track includes coursework in business, accounting and computer science.
The undergraduate curriculum is built on studies in the behavioral sciences, criminal law and procedure, contemporary issues in criminal justice, law enforcement, corrections, management, juvenile deviancy, psychology, race/ethnic relations, mental disorders, and ethics.
The graduate level studies leading to the Master of Science degree in Criminal Justice Administration offer preparation in critical thinking skills, leadership and management, program evaluation, agency administration, personnel administration, and research methods. The emphasis is on both study and practical application.
Chaminade University requires that all work toward the Master of Science in Criminal Justice Administration be completed within five years, beginning with the term during which a student enters the program.
Core courses for the Master's degree include Constitutional law, criminology, agency administration, research methodologies, ethics, survey methods and statistics, law enforcement, correctional management and administration, forensic science, forensic psychology, managing criminal investigations, terrorism and justice, crisis/hostage negotiations, and evidence.
A special track in the graduate program is the Homeland Security Leadership Development course of study, which is offered in partnership with the Naval Postgraduate School. The special track is designed for civilian or military officials who have direct responsibilities in homeland security and civil defense. Coursework includes special studies in homeland security strategies, technology, planning, budgeting, critical infrastructure vulnerability, intelligence, and the psychology of fear management.
Also, for those students not seeking a Master's degree in the special track, there is a certification program that requires eight of the homeland security courses.
At press time, tuition for the graduate program is $655 per credit hour. A large majority of students have financial aid, grants or loans to assist with tuition costs, and the university provides assistance with the applications for such financial aid.
Chaminade University prefers faculty members who are also practitioners in their fields of law enforcement, administration and specialized skills. One example is Dr. Ronald Becker, who is a specialist in underwater forensic investigations.
A low faculty-student ratio is a goal of the university. That ratio now averages about 17 to 1. This allows instructors to teach and to guide their students in a more intensive focus on achievement, and it allows students to obtain help quickly, if needed.
Since 1960, Chaminade University has enjoyed accreditation by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
The university also holds membership in such educational organizations as the American Association of Higher Education, the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities, the Council of Independent Colleges, and The Leadership Alliance, which is an academic consortium of over 30 colleges that seeks to develop under-represented students into outstanding leaders and role models in academia and careers.

Tools & Resources
"best operating system I have used"
Fast, user friendly, MUCH better than Vista
I have found no weakness to this operating system. I love it!
Easy enough to use that my husband can use it! -
"Great and as expected"
Bought this for the computer I was building from scratch. Cheapest price I could find on the web. Quick service and the product worked as expected!
"Good product ... Greate Service"
Product was as expected and at a great price. Received in just a few days despite having used only standard shipping.
"Quick starting operating system"
One of the quickest startups I have ever used, nice gadgets to add to your desktops and themes to personalize your computer. Great for entertainment and everyday use.
Dont see any weakness to this wonderful operating system.
I prefer this operating system over Windows XP with I had before with my Toshiba computer, now I have a Acer and the Windows 7 operating system is good for school and entertainment. -
"Great deal, fast shipping, best OS"
best OS - was ready to go Apple and give up on MS
good for just 1 computer use
I like it -
"Exactly what is needed"
Affordable, easy to install, good for those who build their own computers
General weaknesses of Windows 7 itself: less options for customization compared to XP
Technically a builder's pack -
"Big improvement to Vista!"
Faster and not as intrusive
Few driver issues
Could be less resource intensive
big improvement in terms of utility and overall looks -
"much easier to work with"
Easy to install and work with. Seems more secure than previous versions.
I'm not aware of any so far.
"Great OS"
Ease of setup, everything works. Stable, fast, no problems.
doesn't remember window size too well..... need 3rd party software to manage
I was skeptical about upgrading, but now, I would not go back to XP (even though it was good), for anything. I didn't use Vista, but I heard too many bad things about it. -
"Great product - life saver"
Extended the life of my Dell XPS (64 bit). It was at the end of life with XP and getting to the point of needing a hardware swap due to performance degredation. Win 7 64 bit makes the PC run like new- and fast. It has extended the life of the hardware by years.
none to speak of
Drivers are not an issue with this OS as was with Vista (discarded that piece of junk quickly). Runs solid and (whew!) does not crash with "blue screens of death" -
"Newest windows desktop OS"
Install was simple. No hitches or problems with updates either. Am running as a virtual machine in a new Mac Pro using VMWare Fusion v3.1 and seems quite stable. Like the new print dialog on the side of the document. Interface seems a bit more simple than XP.
Seems like 64 bit programs (like I.E.) should be the default and not have 2 different versions showing up on the app list. Seems fluid but just a little sluggish (could be the fact it's running virtual).
Purchased to run with VMWare Fusion

MacArthur Fellows / Meet the Class of 2007
Saul Griffith
Squid Labs
Alameda, CA
Age: 33
Published January 28, 2007
Saul Griffith is an inventor whose innovations span industrial design, technology, and science education. Through a variety of endeavors at MIT and as a principal in Squid Labs, Griffith demonstrates his boundless energy for inventing across diverse disciplines in the global public interest. While still a graduate student at MIT, he designed a unique membrane-based molding system that can produce a variety of common lenses from a single pair of flexible molding surfaces. This prototype has the potential to change the economics of corrective lenses in rural and underserved communities around the world and continues to be a major focus of research and development energy at Squid Labs. At MIT, Griffith co-founded Thinkcycle.org, a web community that has produced socially conscious engineering solutions, such as novel household water-treatment systems. Thinkcycle.org is the forerunner of Instructables.com, a remarkable do-it-yourself website driven by user contributions. He is also a creative force behind HowToons, an animated educational resource designed to engage children in hands-on science and engineering projects. Through the spin-off company Potenco, Griffith initiated the project design for a hand-held human-powered generator, which has the potential significantly to improve access to electronic devices such as laptops and water purifiers throughout the world. Though still quite young, he holds several patents in optics, textiles, and nanotechnology. In these engineering ventures as well as others yet to be imagined, Griffith is a prodigy of invention in service of the world community.
Saul Griffith received a B.MET.E. (1997) from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, an M.E. (2000) from the University of Sydney, and an M.S. (2001) and Ph.D. (2004) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a co-founding partner of Squid Labs and serves as a technical advisor at Potenco in Alameda, California.

Seabird Picture of the Month, March 2002:
Double-Crested Cormorant Wrestling with Fish
Photo by Dr. Benjamin Miller
In a San Diego valley pond in January, this double-crested cormorant struggled with its catfish catch. Each time the bird hoisted the fish out of the water in an attempt to swallow it, the weight of the fish caused the bird to sink below the surface. Repeated attempts over 20 minutes undoubtedly exhausted both parties, and then the two disappeared from view leaving the ultimate fate known only to bird and fish. (Canon D30 body on a Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L lens at 400mm, 1/250s at f/5.6, ISO 100, evaluative metering at zero, AI Servo AF, handheld with IS#1, cropped to 47%, then tonality and sharpness adjusted in PhotoShop.)
Dr. Benjamin Miller is an atmospheric research scientist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, at the University of California, San Diego. As an avid nature photographer, he specializes in the fauna of Southern and Central California. More of his fauna images can be viewed at http://gaslab.ucsd.edu/closerlook.

Pretty much the same here, I OC most of the time, conceal under "certain" circumstances. So to answer the original question...pretty much anyone!

Well, there's my fellow classmates with whom I took CCW instruction, along with brush up classes over the years.
Folks who's brains I've picked for a "nice" weapon/holster/light. My barber (there's a story for another time). I help out when my gun club hosts a "First Shots" seminar for newbies on occasion. I'll remove my cover garment and let folks notice I'm carrying. So I guess that adds up to lots of people that know. |

My girlfriend knows because, she is accustomed tpo always walking on my weak side, holding my weak hand, etc. I believe my instructor put it best when he said "The only one who needs to know you have it is you. Until it goes off, then everyone knows, so you better have a very good reason for it going off!"

Discuss/Mention Concealed carry
Cannot see any benefit.
People you discuss it with know you carry and anybody that they talk to may also hear about that you carry. Worst case result. Standing in line at 7-11 type store -- two guys pull guns to rob the place and some idiot looks at you and says: ............."You've got a gun, do something". . |

My wife...my mother/father...a couple REALLY close friends.
But sometimes I actually WANT people to know I'm carrying. Let me explain... I am a 30 year old black male, who started carrying about 7 years ago. I won't go too far into it, but the image of a "(young) black man with a gun" doesn't conjure up a lot of warm, fuzzy feelings among people. I understand that most of the folks here on TFL could care less, but I choose to open carry at times in order to hopefully begin to dispell some of the stigmas attached to guys that "look like me". I'm sure that some of you may "get" what I'm saying, and that others won't...and I'm okay with that. You may see me open carrying with a suit on. I may have on jeans and a button-down shirt. I may have on shorts and a cutoff tshirt. I hope that it serves to educate people, and I love it when people ask me questions ("can you just carry it out like that?"..."Why do you have a gun?") ...I will now place my flame-retardant suit on... |

My wife, twos sons and 1 friend......he wanted to know how hard it is was to carry a concealed weapon. I said not too hard, lifted the tail of my shirt and showed him. He already had the permit (about one month), but was worried people might notice. Asked how long I had carried around him, I said the past 7 years! So now he is carrying and is still trying to get over the worried someone might see part.

I agree with the above "they didn't have any reason to know".
Nobody knows if I am or not at any given time. About 6-8 folks know I have a CCW, but many more when I start teaching CCW soon.

Well, there's the one who gives me a kiss as I leave the house...and she locks the door after I leave.
I suppose the three dogs who are witnesses to the above. Other than that, my CHL instructor, my friend who took the class with me, and a couple people to whom I have referred my CHL intructor... And now, you. |

My wife and a few close select friends (all of them gun nuts themselves).
And my coworkers, too, since I work as an armed guard part time.
l've heard police work is dangerous. Yes, that's why l carry a big gun. Couldn't it go off accidentally? l used to have that problem. What did you do about it? l just think about baseball. -Leslie Nielsen |

CorpITguy/Sefner...thanks a lot!
I totally understand the idea behind keeping our choice to carry a secret, but I think it's our responsibility to not only be trained with how to use a gun...but also be well-versed about why we choose to carry (laws, statistics, trends, etc). I get some funny looks from time to time when I open carry, but it serves as a teaching moment. I love it when people have a "eureka" moment and realize that "regular people" carry guns |

Well, let's see.
There are 30,000 people who subscribe to Concealed Carry Magazine, and 150,000 who read our newsletter. Then there are about a gajillion on the internet who could read these words. There's also my mom and (through her) my entire extended family. My husband and (through him) his entire extended family. Everyone on staff at FAS, plus all the students that have passed through classes I've helped with over the past 7 years or so. My kids' teacher at the homeschool co op (who thought it was cool, and allowed us to do a firearms-safety presentation for all the kids in the program). My teenage sons and who knows how many of their friends... The guy across the street, who asked me to teach his wife to shoot a few years back. A friend of a friend, who was just starting to think about concealed carry and convinced he'd never be able to conceal. I commented that I could help him work through that, and he replied, "You? But I've never seen you carry a gun." I grinned and retorted, "You've never seen the gun, but you've never seen me without one..." The sensei at the local danzan ryu dojo who has often watched me disarm ... Our old babysitter, who was around when I was first getting into it and who asked me, "Why do you like guns? Guys like guns, girls don't!" -- and who understood perfectly when I replied, "Girls get raped, guys don't." Oh, better add everyone on any of several email discussion lists where I participate, and of course the members of at least a dozen gun forums... My firstborn's best friend's family -- who for a long time made a habit of dropping by to visit without calling first, and often caught me cleaning my teaching gun on Sunday nights. In fact, once they stopped by and I didn't have a gun in pieces on the kitchen table, and one of them immediately said, "Who are you and what did you do with the people who lived here before?! There's no firearm on the table!" Nope. I haven't told anyone. I keep it a carefully-guarded secret because I'm terribly worried that if anyone finds out I carry a gun, they might think less of me.... pax |

My wife for sure, a couple of my close and trusted neighbors, a handful of my family memebers, and very small select group of my co-workers whom also carry daily. Other than that, I don't advertize it.

Best Free Drive Encryption Utility
In a Hurry?
Go straight to the Quick Selection Guide |
Encryption is a process of encoding information so that it cannot be accessed by others unless they have the key needed to decode it. Encryption is usually used to protect highly sensitive documents, but it's also a good way to stop people from looking at your personal stuff. Primary encryption utility categories Why use categories here? To bring a little order to the large catalog of encryption utility reviews at this site. This particular review article is limited to "drive encryption" utilities. See related categories below.
Cautionary Notes
Update 1: TrueCrypt is a seasoned product. It fully met my criteria for selecting encryption software. The developers of TrueCrypt dropped a bombshell though. It's complicated. On the other hand, TrueCrypt recently passed a preliminary independent audit, but the dereliction of TrueCrypt changes everything. [a trustworthy opinion] [another synopsis] Update 2: Fred Langa recently reported* that VeraCrypt, TrueCrypt, and similar products interfere with File History, Custom Recovery Image creation and UEFI Secure Boot in Windows 8, and 10 as well. True Crypt will most likely render your computer unbootable if you use it for whole disk encryption. Now I know why File History quit working in my Windows 8.1 PC last March. Restoring to an earlier restore point did not repair it either. I solved the problem by upgrading to Windows 10 Technical Preview. ;) UEFI is a complex system that is easily disrupted. Elements of those encryption products were developed long before Microsoft introduced UEFI. It's not surprising that the low level drivers that these encryption programs rely on aren't compatible with UEFI. * "Why VeraCrypt won't work with Windows 8" by Fred Langa (behind a pay-wall). Scroll way down the page to that header. DiskCryptor is specially designed to encrypt hard-drives, partitions, and external storage devices including USB flash drives. It offers simplified operation and performance advantages over TrueCrypt.The extensive documentation, and discussion of encryption pitfalls are a good indication that the developers understand the challenges of designing this class of software. I found a surprising number of DiskCryptor reviews online, and while none of them were expert, they are uniformly positive. See comment 108839 for more discussion. FREE CompuSec is specifically designed to protect desktops and notebooks, using pre-boot authentication and full hard disk encryption. Access control requires you to enter your userID and password before the system will boot up. Free CompuSec is free for both personal and business use. FREE CompuSec includes several other encryption utilities: Voice encryption, encryption of individual files, removable media -- CDs, DVDs, USB thumb drives, and "Container" encryption (similar to TrueCrypt volumes). The Pre-boot Authentication module is automatically installed on the drive to which the OS boots, but you don't actually have to apply Whole Disk Encryption to any drive if you don't want to. |

I encountered a fatal error reboot when trying DiskCryptor on Windows Developer Preview of Windows 8, but that's ancient history. The FAQ states "DiskCryptor supports any Microsoft operation system since Windows 2000. Windows 2000 support will cease with the release of DiskCryptor 1.0 which will require Windows XP or newer." The "Supported OS" section of the product description does not list Windows 8. There's also the question of support for UEFI, which virtually all Windows 8 computers use.

Back to the top of the article
- Article type:
DiskCryptor was updated to 1.0.757.115 Stable on 2013.01.03
DiskCryptor has nothing to do with TrueCrypt. It is no derivative. It was compatible with TrueCrypt Partition layout to be able to mount them until version 0.4. After that it dropped that completely.
On the DiskCryptor wiki they mentioned that:
"DiskCryptor releases from 0.1 to 0.4 were fully compatible with TrueCrypt, as they used a corresponding partition format and encrypted data with AES-256 algorithm in LRW mode. Starting from DiskCryptor 0.5, the program relies upon its own partition format, developed specifically for encrypting partitions with data on them, as TrueCrypt format has been originally meant for creation of empty volumes. That move allowed for an increase in DiskCryptor's stability, eliminated many problems associated with file systems, and created an optimal format for further development of the program."
Also what I like is, that you can use encrypted partition in the network (mapped network drive). That does not work with TrueCrypt. I mean, if I logon at my computer and the whole computer is encrypted, I can still use a share from this computer on another computer. For TrueCrypt I have never been able to use a share. I had to unmount it on that computer and mount the whole HDD on another computer. Haven't tested that on TrueCrypt 7.1 though.
Also DiskCryptor has another advantage. You can put it directly into the Windows Vista / 7 Setup DVD to be able to install Windows directly on a mounted encrypted Partition.
No problem :). Installing Windows 7 on a encrypted drive without the need to re encrypt it came to my mind, when I First read about the Windows Setup integration.

Really? I liked the older one, it had a football helmet, you knew it was a football logo, this thing looks like a baby Shamu.
Think about what you just said. A dolphin with a helmet on? Why not stick a football under his fin too? It was corny and outdated.
On a helmet I'm sure this new logo will look fine, but merchandise wise it's bad. What are they sponsoring, Sea World?
Have you ever seen a concussed dolphin at Sea World? Their radar helps keep them from having head-to-head collisions.
I agree the old logo was goofy. But I had gotten used to it. This new one is very plain and boring IMO. Looks like it should be the logo for a laundry detergent rather than a football team.

Bust-A-Move 3000

While it isn't groundbreaking, it is well done. The one thing that I cant tolerate though is that its only a two player game.
The Bust-a-Move series once again offers hours of fun for action-puzzle fans. [Feb 2003, p.156]
It sports a new title, but Bust-A-Move 3000 is identical to the "Super Bust-A-Move" that was released on the PlayStation 2 in 2000.
Since there is almost certainly going to be another release in the series, pass on this and get "EggMania" instead.

Note on finding copies of programs: |
Unfortunately I lack the time or resources to help people find copies of anime television programs. I have put together a web List of Online Video and Book Stores that will be useful to find copies in the United States, some other countries, and one Japanese store. There are other similar stores on the Internet around the world that might be able to supply the DVDs, LDs, VCDs, or video tapes that are desired. Check my Japanese Animation Information page for links to Internet resources that may have further information. I am not involved in trading materials from my own collection. I am still waiting to see most of the programs in this List of Anime Television Series and would be happy to find sources for many of them. Because of these circumstances I will not respond to requests for help to find these types of materials. |

Well, my ultimate wish is to have Cady McClain back but since that isn't going to happen. How about LeAnn Hunley that used to play Anna DiMera on 'Days'! Or if she's not available, please get someone else! That role is sorely missed. |
Erin |
I agree with you, I believe that Rosanna should come back, and press charges to Craig like Lucy's doing, that way, he'd have more than one, and it would be legal, and perhaps it would stick, but I absolutely found Rosanna to be my favorite character when she was on. She was lovely, and nice. Yes, she did a few things on the bad side, but that was only because she was protecting her son, whom she should never had to have given away. It wasn't fair. |

Shares of SAP (NYSE: SAP ) traded higher after the company announced that it had acquired Camilion, a software company that aids in the efficiency of insurance and financial services companies. The deal is said to broaden SAP's solution portfolio in the insurance space as it will provide insurers with powerful software tools to streamline the management and creation of new products.
Have we been here before?
SAP is no stranger to acquisitions. Over the past couple of years, the company has been very active in an effort to better compete with database giant Oracle (NYSE: ORCL ) and IBM (NYSE: IBM ) . But the results have been mixed. In 2011, SAP went aggressively after SuccessFactors, for which it paid $3.5 billion, or eight times its revenue.
I felt that was a pricey deal, but it was one that SAP had to make, given Oracle's deal for Taleo, which was followed by IBM's deal for Kenexa. In 2010, SAP also acquired Sybase for $5.8 billion. That was too much to pay for a company that only generated $1.1 billion annually in revenue and only $130 million in net income.
The profit margin wasn't particularly impressive for a company that was acquired (presumably) to boost the bottom line. What's more, aside from buying a semi-rival, it was unclear how Sybase was going to present SAP with an extra competitive edge in its core business. And the $5.8 billion offer boosted Sybase's P/E from 21 on the date of the announcement to 29 as the stock shot up 56%. The premium wasn't justified.
Although SAP has performed adequately since these deals, the company has lagged behind both Oracle and IBM in recent performances. Although the terms for privately held Camilion have not been revealed, if it's like Sybase and SuccessFactors, it's likely to be a pretty lucrative deal. But I'm just speculating. What really matters today is what SAP believes it is getting.
Will there be good karma?
Assuming that the deal goes through, it should strengthen SAP's existing insurance solutions portfolio, which is already one of the best in the industry. The deal for Camilion puts SAP in a strong position to capitalize on the strength of an integrated core insurance platforms market.
Simon Paris, SAP's global head of Financial Services, said, "With this acquisition, SAP is able to meet the needs of insurers that face a challenging new business environment and that need to make significant product and strategy changes quickly at low risk. Camilion brings deep expertise and trusted relationships in the new age of insurance applications, well recognized by customers and analysts."
Clearly, there's considerable value in the deal. But I'll feel better once I hear what management has to say about growth prospects and how Camilion can contribute to the top and bottom lines. Better still, I'd like to know how much SAP is paying in this deal. This disclosure will go a long way toward setting performance expectations. To that end, the company can use a little help, because although revenue advanced 12% in the recent quarter, it still fell short of estimates.
It also seems that SAP is being outmaneuvered in the software-as-a-service, or SaaS, business. This is where rivals like Ssalesforce.com thrive. While the case can be made that SAP is beginning to get a stronger foothold in the SaaS market with SAP Cloud, the growth momentum of Salesforce and its nimbleness continues to stunt advancements by more mature rivals. SAP is not alone in this; IBM is feeling this same effect.
Camilion can become a great asset to the extent that it offsets weakness in SaaS and other end-markets, while giving SAP more time to shore up its Cloud initiatives. I suspect at some point management will speak on this deal and give investors a better sense of what kind of karma Camilion can bring. While the Street is rewarding SAP today for this deal with new 52-week highs, it's premature to jump for joy.
What of the stock?
I like SAP's business and I think the company has an excellent management team. I'd feel much better if the company can get operating margin to pick up again, as it grew much slower in the recent quarter. While SAP's operating margin still leads IBM by 4%, it trails Oracle by 17%. I think that difference is too meaningful for a stock that trades at a P/E of 27 to Oracle's 16. Plus, with a recent 7.8% year-over-year decline in earnings, the valuation is too demanding.
The amount of data we store every year is growing by a mind-boggling 60% annually! To make sense of this trend and pick out a winner, The Motley Fool has compiled a new report called "The Only Stock You Need to Profit From the NEW Technology Revolution." The report highlights a company that has gained 300% since first recommended by Fool analysts but still has plenty of room left to run.

Absolutely amazing! I finally had the Juicy Lucy that I have been waiting for since I saw it on TV 4 years ago. I got the Mushroom Swiss Juicy Lucy, Cowboy style, with Cajun Tater tots. It was 2 patties, with swiss cheese and mushrooms melted in between, then covered in BBQ sauce and two inch thick onion rings. It was amazing! Each bite was juicy, flavorful and I think I died trying to finish it. My dreams have finally come true!

William Farnbaugh
Other Florida No Crime Cases
Shortly before midnight on August 16, 1996, 25-year-old William Farnbaugh was seen arguing with his 27-year-old girlfriend outside of the Karl Reef bar in New Port Richey, Florida. When the woman tried to get into a taxi, Farnbaugh grabbed her, dragged her to a car and drove off.
Witnesses called and reported the license plate number to the police, who learned the car was registered to the woman. They went to her apartment at 6 a.m. the following morning but left when no one answered the door. Police returned at 8 a.m. with the girl's mother, who had a key. Inside, police found the woman and Farnbaugh lying on a couch together.
The woman told police that after leaving the bar, Farnbaugh stopped for cigarettes and then drove to a field. There, she said, Farnbaugh dragged her out of the car and said he was going to kill her and bury her. She said he forced her to engage in oral sex, but she bit his penis and tried to run away. Farnbaugh caught her and beat her about the head and face.
She said Farnbaugh carried her to the car and drove her to an unknown residence. There, he put her on a couch while he got something to eat and then took her home, where he lay down beside her on the sofa.
The woman was treated for cuts and bruises and a broken eye socket.
Farnbaugh was arrested and charged with sexual assault, kidnapping and assault. He went on trial in Pasco County Circuit Court in June 1997. The victim gave the same description of the night that she had given to police. She told the jury she agreed to have oral sex with Farnbaugh because she was scared and wanted to buy time.
Farnbaugh's defense attorney attempted to show, through cross-examination of the woman, that she had suggested they engage in oral sex and that both were so intoxicated that when she bit him, he over-reacted and struck her. Farnbaugh did not testify.
Farnbaugh's lawyer presented jail medical records showing that Farnbaugh had bite marks on his penis. The prosecution substantially discredited the medical records by eliciting testimony from a jail official that the phrase "bite marks" in the report could have referred to a single bite rather than multiple bites. The prosecution argued that the report's conclusion that the marks were caused by biting might have been based solely on Farnbaugh's statements to the examining nurse rather than a medical opinion that the marks were caused by biting.
The jury convicted Farnbaugh of all charges on June 9, 1997 and he was sentenced to life in prison.
In June 2002, Farnbaugh was granted a new trial after the Second District Florida Court of Appeals ruled that his trial attorney had provided an inadequate legal defense by failing to call a nurse who examined Farnbaugh when he was booked into the jail after his arrest. The appeals court concluded that the jail records "were not an adequate substitute for the nurse's testimony in this case in light of their apparent lack of specificity and the State's ability to discredit them."
The appeals court also found that Farnbaugh's attorney had improperly threatened to withdraw if Farnbaugh testified in his own defense. Farnbaugh was released on bond pending a second trial.
Farnbaugh went on trial again in August 2003. By then, he was back in custody after being arrested in April 2003 on charges of robbing the Main Street Food Mart across from New Port Richey City Hall.
The victim again testified to being forced into the car, forced to engage in oral sex and beaten.
Farnbaugh's new attorney, Larry Hoffman, called the jail intake nurse, who testified that Farnbaugh had three distinct bite marks on his penis. Farnbaugh also testified in his own defense and told the jury that he and his girlfriend had been attending Alcoholics Anonymous sessions to combat their heavy drinking. On the night of the incident, he said, they went to the bar to celebrate several weeks of sobriety.
After a night of heavy drinking, they quarreled when the woman thought he was flirting with a waitress. As a result, the woman decided to take a taxi home, but he refused to let her take the taxi and instead insisted of driving her home, Farnbaugh said. He said he put her into the back seat of the car because she was drunk.
Farnbaugh said that after stopping at a convenience store to buy cigarettes, he decided to drive to his brother's house and on the way, they apologized to each other. After the apologies, they pulled over to have oral sex in the back seat and when she bit him, he reacted. "I didn't mean to hurt her," Farnbaugh told the jury. "I just wanted her off me."
On August 13, 2004, the jury acquitted Farnbaugh. He later pled guilty to the robbery charge and was sentenced to five years in prison. He also sued the attorney at his first trial and settled the lawsuit for $50,000.

Very pleased with order and quality of products
Lovely jacket and great price
Really top value
Excellent quick delivery and constant updates. Highly recommend
Good selection of products but the delivery could be improved. Free returns or free delivery without having to spend so much

But if you wasn't worried about it keeping you warm and are unconcerned about the weather or feeling a bit cold.And more about wearing a nice jacket. It may be the one for you as it looks good.
