Pacquiao 'best of the best,' says Barrera
CEBU CITY—He was at ringside when Juan Manuel Marquez caught an onrushing Manny Pacquiao with a dynamite right and knocked out the Filipino icon cold in the sixth round last Dec. 8 in Las Vegas.
But despite the shocking turnaround, Mexican boxing legend Marco Antonio Barrera believes Pacquiao's skills haven't diminished. They are still as lethal when Pacquiao stopped him in the 11th round in 2003 and dominated him in their rematch in 2007.
"I don't believe he (Pacquiao) is going down," Barrera, a former three-division world champion, told the media in Spanish Friday night at the ballroom of the Cebu Parklane International Hotel. "It just happened that he got caught by a lucky punch. One more round and it could have been the other way around."
Barrera, who came here to watch the Donnie "Ahas" Nietes-Moises Fuentes showdown for the WBO light flyweight crown set late last night, doesn't think that the knockout proves that Marquez is superior to Pacquiao.
"Pacquiao won the first three (the first actually ended up in a draw, but should have gone Pacquiao's way were if not for a judge's scoring error) and Marquez won the last and that's it," said Barrera, who also lost to Marquez by unanimous decision in 2007.
"That's boxing, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. You just see to it that you learn something from losing," said Barrera, who hinted at a possible comeback.
"My wife has given her permission for two more fights, provided they're against topnotch opponents," added Barrera, who also said he is relishing the attention showered him by Cebuanos.
That it's home to a two-time tormentor, doesn't bother Barrera, a future Hall of Famer, a bit. He doesn't mind losing to Pacquiao, whom he considers "the best of the best."

BELLECHASSE, La. - Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser is asking for the public's help in ridding the parish of a species of large snails that can chew up plant material in large quantities.
Nungesser said the apple snail, which can be up to the size of a man's fist, has been found in canals and ditches along Barriere Road in Belle Chasse and as far south as Jesuit Bend.
Nungesser is concerned about another attack on the parish's eco system, which has suffered from hurricanes in recent years and this year's oil spill.
'We should not tolerate another invasive species which can damage our ecosystem,' he said. 'It is important that we, as a community, act quickly.'
Nungesser said anyone who sees an apple snail should put it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Anyone who comes across a cluster of eggs is asked to smash the cluster and drop it into the water.
The clusters could be between 200-600 eggs.
The Parish said it reported the snail sightings to the Louisiana Department of Wildllfie and Fisheries and the Barataria Terrebone National Estuary Program who track the snails.
Snails should not be consumed in their raw form as they can transmit disease, most notably the rat lungworm. The rat lungworm is a deadly parasite which can be transmitted to both humans and other animals. There is no risk, however, from handling the bright, pink egg sacks or the apple snails, but the Parish Health Department encourages residents to wear gloves while doing so and to make sure to wash your hands afterward.
Anyone with questions regarding apple snails or if anyone has seen them beyond the Belle Chasse area in Plaquemines Parish, please call the Plaquemines Parish Health Department, at 504-394-3510.

Welcome to Keith Muirhead's kingdom: Naples Island.
Muirhead, owner of Equity Realtors, sold more than $50 million worth of homes in the rich enclave of Naples last year. He has sold some homes twice, and even three times. Some people have come to buy one home, only to end up with five for themselves, kids and guests. Yes, guests.
Driving around in his Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG luxury sedan sports car, with license plates that read "Na pulls" – the only ones he could get from the DMV to phonetically spell "Naples" – Muirhead points to a who's who list of rich and famous whom he has sold homes to, wishes he had or would like to list if he had the opportunity.
"Naples is a lifestyle," he said. "You walk to restaurants, the yacht club or kayak."
Muirhead has sold homes to an inner circle of Long Beach movers and shakers that enjoys a luxurious life of canal living without the pretentiousness of private hillside cliff living in gated communities that dot the Palos Verdes Peninsula or Orange County's shorelines.
Muirhead's well-known clients have included David Erickson, founder and chief executive of FreeConferenceCall.com, and entrepreneur and banking consultant Glenn Russell.
Next to Erickson's house on Naples Canal, Muirhead also sold a home to John Molina, chief financial officer of Long Beach-based Molina Healthcare Inc., and his wife, Michelle Molina.
Richard T. Briles and his wife, Keanna, bought five homes from Muirhead. Richard Briles was a principal with PB Fasteners, a company that manufactures aerospace fasteners, and that later was acquired in 2011 for an undisclosed price by Precision Castparts Corp., a $9.2 billion aerospace company from Portland, Ore.
Briles moved to Naples after living in Palos Verdes for several years. "I love it here," said Briles, who was spotted recently cruising the canals.
Former Olympic swimmer Susie Atwood, who now runs a State Farm agency in Naples, also bought from Muirhead.
Other notables who live in the glitzy island community with the Port of Long Beach's hulking container cranes looming in the background include Eric Johnson, co-owner of Legends Sports Bar in Belmont Shore and The Auld Dubliner in downtown Long Beach, and auto salesman Kent Browning, son of Richard Browning, who founded the Browning Automotive Group headquartered in Cerritos.
Naples digs also are owned by James Parkhouse, who turned his Parkhouse Tire Inc. business in Southern California into one of the largest commercial tire dealerships in the region; Michael Crawford, an English actor and singer who originated the title role in "The Phantom of the Opera"; and Joseph Zucchero, the former owner and president of CALPLY, a wallboard business that he sold to gypsum maker USG Corp. a few years ago
Muirhead has lived in Naples for more than three decades on Savona Walk, just a few doors down from Mayor Bob Foster.
His specialty is pocket sales, which involve lining up buyers and sellers without using the very public Multiple Listing Service. The MLS data are public and list what homes are selling for, who is selling and where. They also show what prices homes sold at. Some benefits to pocket sales include better rates, more privacy for sellers and no favoritism, according to Muirhead.
"You don't get the looky-loos," Muirhead said.

In my last post, I promised to provide a more detailed technical explanation of how you can use the .NET capabilities of Silverlight with HTML, allowing full access to the HTML DOM from managed code as well as providing a means for client-side JavaScript to call into a .NET library.
Let's walk through the process. I'm going to assume that you've got a machine already set up with Visual Studio 2008 Beta 1 (previously codenamed "Orcas") and the Silverlight project template add-on.
<form action="">

Date Parsing

Input: <input type="text" id="input" />
<input type="button" id="parseDate" value="Parse >>" />
<input type="text" id="output" size="50" />

Browser Information

<textarea id="browserCaps" cols="100" rows="6"></textarea>

Adding Style to the Page

<input type="button" id="addStyle" value="Style Me!" />
HtmlDocument hdoc;
Let's also add a declaration for the System.Windows.Browser namespace:
using System.Windows.Browser;
hdoc = HtmlPage.Document;
new EventHandler<HtmlEventArgs>(this.OnParseDateButtonClick));
new EventHandler<HtmlEventArgs>(this.OnAddStyleButtonClick));
string browserCaps =
"Name: " + HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.Name + "\n" +
"Platform: " + HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.Platform + "\n" +
"User Agent: " + HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.UserAgent + "\n" +
"Cookies Enabled: " + HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.CookiesEnabled;
hdoc.GetElementByID("input").SetProperty("value", DateTime.Now.ToString("g"));
hdoc.GetElementByID("browserCaps").SetProperty("value", browserCaps);
public void OnParseDateButtonClick(object sender, HtmlEventArgs args)
string output;
string input = hdoc.GetElementByID("input").GetProperty<string>("value");
DateTime inputAsDate = DateTime.Parse(input);
output = inputAsDate.ToString("R"); // RFC 1123 string
catch (FormatException e)
output = "Error: " + e.Message;
hdoc.GetElementByID("output").SetProperty("value", output);
public void OnAddStyleButtonClick(object sender, HtmlEventArgs args)
HtmlElementCollection hec = hdoc.GetElementsByTagName("h1");
foreach (HtmlElement h1 in hec)
h1.SetStyleAttribute("color", "#000066");
If you've got the Silverlight 1.1 Alpha on your machine, you can browse straight to the finished page to see it in action. I've also made the source code available for the above walkthrough, in case you aren't able to complete the steps above for whatever reason.
I've not talked in this post about calling .NET code from JavaScript, because I wanted to focus on a JavaScript-free scenario. However, you'll find a great quickstart guide to this latter topic online at the silverlight.net community site.
Have fun with this!
Silverlight Cream for June 13, 2007
You've been kicked (a good thing) - Trackback from DotNetKicks.com
It is really a good approach to get interaction with html controls. I really admire your efforts and work.
Silverlight will create huge gap for the compitaters.
Very cool, thanks for the little tutorial.
I'm impressed that it works in both IE7 and Firefox, too. I think that's one scourge of ClickOnce is that it doesn't work in other browsers (although I hear Orcas fixes this...)
Wewwww!!! this is so damn cool..
Very interesting C# article!
Too bad this doesn't work in VS 2005. Argh.
You might want to update the page so that it operates with the 1.1 Alpha refresh.

Anderson Wins Winston-Salem Opener; Mahut Ousts Robredo
Winston-Salem, U.S.A.
by ATP Staff|
Second seed Kevin Anderson bounced back from his first-round loss to John Isner last week, beginning his Winston-Salem Open campaign with a 6-3, 2-6, 6-4 win over Frenchman Adrian Mannarino on Tuesday.
Anderson had reached back-to-back quarter-finals in Washington and Toronto, including an upset win over World No. 4 Stan Wawrinka, before falling to the top American in his Cincinnati opener.
"I feel like I'm playing great tennis," he said. "It's just about getting out there and competing well. Matches can often go up and down. You just want to put yourself in the best position to win the match, and that's been my biggest goal, which I'm hopefully looking forward to creating those opportunities over the next two weeks."
Watch Interview
Anderson will next face American Sam Querrey, who defeated Steve Johnson in straight sets for a second time during the Emirates Airline US Open Series. Querrey claimed a 6-4, 6-3 win over the No. 16 seed.
Two other Frenchmen fared better in their second-round matches Tuesday. Nicolas Mahut upset third seed Tommy Robredo 6-1, 7-6(0), defeating the Spaniard for the second time in five FedEx ATP Head2Head meetings. Robredo, who was going for his 30th match win of the season, had reached the quarter-finals last week in Cincinnati, where he knocked out World No. 1 Novak Djokovic.
"I'm pretty happy about the way I played today, especially at the beginning," said Mahut. "I knew he was coming from a tough week in Cincinnati, so I knew if I had a good start, I thought maybe it'd be difficult for him. I played well in the first set and was 6-1, 3-1 up. I didn't play a good service game at 3-1, so the second set was tougher, but still it's a good win for me."
Mahut will look to reach the quarter-finals when he next meets 14th-seeded Andreas Seppi. The Italian overcame Argentine Federico Delbonis 7-5, 6-7(4), 6-2 in two hours and 27 minutes.
France's Edouard Roger-Vasselin, the No. 12 seed, needed two hours and 43 minutes to battle past Ukraine's Aleksandr Nedovyesov 7-6(9), 6-7(5), 6-4. He goes on to face Jerzy Janowicz, who also needed more than two hours to edge sixth seed Joao Sousa 6-1, 3-6, 7-6(5). The Pole had recorded a Top 10 win over Grigor Dimitrov last week in Cincinnati.
American Donald Young, the No. 11 seed, cruised through his opening match, dismissing Canadian Frank Dancevic 6-1, 6-3 in 46 minutes. Young recently reached the semi-finals in Washington, D.C. (l. to Raonic).
Belgian qualifier David Goffin extended his unbeaten run to 24 matches as he knocked out fourth seed Leonardo Mayer 6-3, 6-1. Mayer, like Goffin, was playing his first tournament since claiming his first ATP World Tour title last month, in Hamburg.
Goffin's unbeaten run since a first-round Wimbledon loss includes three straight ATP Challenger Tour titles, the tour-level title in Kitzbuhel, and four matches in Winston-Salem, including two in qualifying.

This article applies to a range of 123-reg products and services
This article will explain what happens to your 123-reg products if you forget to renew them.
Here at 123-reg we understand that life can be hectic, and things are forgotten, so that is why we are happy to offer you a grace period for the products that we can (which is nearly all of them). This makes sure that you have the chance to still renew after expiry, with no disruption to your service(s).
We give you up to 28 days to sort out your renewal. In fact in the first 7 days of this, your service(s) will still be up and working, however after this, they will be suspended until you renew.
If the 28 days pass and you do not renew, the service(s) and all associated data will be deleted.
The process for domain names varies depending on the extension you have, this is due to domain name extensions being governed by various registries.
The majority of domain name extensions offer a 16 day grace period after expiry, where you can renew your expired domain name straight from your 123-reg control panel with no additional fee other than renewal cost. If a domain name is not renewed within this period this could result in additional fees to recover the domain name or the loss of the domain name altogether.
Extensions that do not follow this process are: .at .eu .de and .jp
To find out more about the domain name renewal process and specific domain name extension renewals check out this useful article.
What is the domain recovery period and how can I restore my domain names?

Top-ranked recipe named "Pork Chops (tender, Oven-baked)"
I hope you enjoy these tender pork chops...
"Made this for the second time & seems to be getting better every time. This time I didn't dip it in eggs, just flour. The flour was all purpose with oregano, garlic salt, salt, & steak seasoning. Regarding the water & boullion, I boiled 2 cups of water to 4 boullion cubes. I added that to the juices left in the pan from the chops, simmered it for a minute, then poured it over the chops. Also to have some fun I added baby carrots that I cut in half. Leave it in the oven for 30 minutes & you have a sensational dish. My in-laws, husband, & I LOVE it. "
Dip chops in beaten egg and then in salted, peppered flour (cover well); add oil to frying pan and brown chops lightly. Place chops in glass 10 x 13 inch shallow pan.
Slice onion over chops and add more salt and pepper. Dissolve 2 chicken bouillon cubes in 1/2 cup boiling water and add this to drippings in frying pan. Pour this over chops.
Cover entire dish with foil. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.

Adjusted time to an hour and tossed some broccoli in with 15 minutes left. Broiled for 5 more minutes. Threw it all on some mashed potatoes and it was great. Great simple recipe. Just season to your taste.

A wide range of captivating shades designed to provide the look and style the color dictates. Lipstick available in three formulas:
Satin - moist, longwearing lipstick containing micro-bubble spheres to continually release lip conditioners which yield creamy, silky color that wears for hours.

Sheer - long lasting color pigments have been suspended in this translucent formula to provide a sheer, natural tint.
Once you start wearing NARS lipstick, you won't want to wear anything else.

Once the lips have been defined with appropriate lip liner, use the Lip Brush to apply lipstick to the lip. Using the Lip Brush will provide control and aid in blending.
Applying the lipstick directly from the tube will allow a richer application of color. For more of a matte finish and to remove excess product, place tissue over the lips and gently smooth finger over the lips.
For Extra Long Lasting Color: Define and fill in entire lip with lip liner. Apply lip color directly from tube. Using only a single ply of tissue place tissue over the lips. Using a powder puff or sponge, pat loose powder over the lips to set. Reapply lipstick.
Full Looking Lips: Add Lip Gloss or Lip Lacquer just in the center of the bottom lip and at the bow of the top lip.

Comments about NARS Semi-Matte Lipstick, Red Lizard, .12 oz:
This is a classic red that I think will look great on anyone (I am a fairer skinned Southeast Asian--also I have cooler toned skin rather than warm.). I wear it anytime! Whether it be at work or going out, it looks great without being too much. I've received so many compliments on it (The other day, a colleague told me that I looked like a 50's movie star! Being Asian, highly unlikely in any other circumstance!). People also wonder how I still have lipstick on after dinner. I do have to apply this with a lip brush as with any red lipstick.
Also as with any matte/semi matte lipstick, this is drying to the lips. But that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make given that I love Nars reds.

Jimmy Kimmel Wedding: Jennifer Aniston, John Krasinski, Other Stars "Drinking and Dancing"
Fun-loving late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel sure knows how to throw a party! The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host tapped a number of his best A-list celebrity pals to celebrate his nuptials to co-head writer Molly McNearney in Ojai, Calif. on Saturday, July 13, and Kimmel's ceremony and reception did not disappoint.
According to a source, the guests really let their hair down on the dance floor at the private affair, where the couple's family members rubbed shoulders with some of Hollywood's biggest names, including Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, John Krasinski, Jennifer Garner and more.
PHOTOS: Stars' stunning wedding photos
"It was kind of crazy having so many huge celebs there because there was also a ton of family -- so it was like a mix of A-listers and family," the source tells Us exclusively.
And, the source adds, everyone had a blast. "Everyone was dancing and drinking," the insider says. "Gabourey Sidibe was the hit of the dance floor. She was really breaking it down! All the big celebs were out there dancing. John Krasinski was twirling Emily Blunt around, Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston were out there at one point, Stanley Tucci and his wife were dancing -- it was great."
Longtime pal Adam Carolla gave a heartfelt speech toasting the newlyweds, and Sam Ronson deejayed the reception, another source tells Us.
Sidibe played a major role in the wedding ceremony earlier in the day as well, as Us Weekly previously reported. When the time came for McNearney to walk down the aisle, Sidibe (clad in a halter-style wedding dress and a long veil) proceeded down the aisle instead.
"The Gabby Sidibe walking down the aisle bit was the biggest hit of the wedding -- everyone was dying because it was hysterical!" the source recalls. "The story behind it is that months and months ago during wedding planning, Molly and Jimmy were joking one night like, 'What if you look down the aisle for me and it's actually Gabourey Sidibe instead?' They were cracking up about it."
PHOTOS: Hollywood's hottest married couples
"Then I'm sure Jimmy forgot all about the conversation," the source continues. "[Then] Molly called Gabby up and asked if she'd be up to really do it! Jimmy was so surprised and thought it was hysterical. It is so their sense of humor."

I have recorded a few broadcasts on it, and I removed a few of them, which also seems to work.
TV has been powered off and on
Now, the HDD is constantly active while viewing a broadcast (not recording or anything!).
If I enter SmartTV and the internet browser, the HDD stops -- but starts again immediately when I exit back to watching TV broadcast.
So what's it doing on the HDD -- filesystem check?

Revamped festival brings ambitious programs, new Evolution Series and more
"Cuatro Corridos"
UC San Diego's Susan Narucki and writer Jorge Volpi had this idea of a multidisciplinary music-theater project concerned with human trafficking across the U.S.-Mexican border. They invited four composers — Hilda Paredes, Arlene Sierra, Lei Liang and Hebert Vázquez Sandrin — to each write one of the four acts, artist Mark DeChiazza to contribute video, and percussionist Steven Schick, pianist Aleck Karis and guitarist Pablo Gomez to be the band. Should be an intriguing, provocative evening. 7 p.m. May 8, 10, 11. UC San Diego Conrad Prebys Music Center. $15.50. (858) 534-3448 or musicweb.ucsd.edu/concerts
Oboist Sarah Skuster and harpist Julie Ann Smith
While the La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest offers an opportunity to hear some of the San Diego Symphony's excellent principal wind players in a chamber music context, for some reason the orchestra's fine principal oboe, Sarah Skuster, is not involved. So you'll have to go to this concert sponsored by San Diego New Music to hear Skuster and her symphony colleague, Smith, in something completely different: R. Murray Schafer's "The Crown of Ariadne," Elliott Carter's "Inner Song" and Lutoslawski's "Epitaph." It's not Beethoven, but who knows? Maybe in 200 years Carter will be our Beethoven. 7:30 May 9. Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St., La Jolla. $25; $20 members. (858) 454-5872 or ljathenaeum.org
Violinist Joshua Bell with the San Diego Symphony
You want your classical music meat and potatoes? Here's the menu: Bell performing the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto and Jahja Ling conducting Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 (the "Eroica"). Smetana's Overture to "The Bartered Bride" opens the program. For a more balanced diet, you might want to also consider attending the May 9 Skuster program noted earlier. 8 p.m. May 24-25; 2 p.m. May 26. Copley Symphony Hall, 750 B St., downtown. $20-$96. (619) 235-0804 or sandiegosymphony.org

I dont mind triming the body but im looking for a little more clearance to run threw grass & snow better. Also are there body lifts available for these?

We have three different EOS bodies and the Canon lenses all work fine as well as the newer off brand but there are a few off brand lenses we have that will not work with some of the bodies yet will work fine on the others. Seems a quirk in the programmimg and the bodies don't seem to be able to talk to the lens. I don't let it worry me too much, we don't use the 35mms too much any more, just on "lightweight" safaris and such.

Director Ketan Mehta has chosen Nawazuddin Siddhiqui to act in his upcoming film "Mountain Man", a biopic on a Bihar-based labourer who did the herculean task of cutting a road through a mountain.
"Yes, I have chosen him for the film. He is a great actor and I feel that he suits the role really well. This is why I went for Nawazuddin," Mehta told IANS.
"Mountain Man" is a biopic, based on the life of Dashrath Manjhi from Nagar, Gehlaur, Gaya. In 22 years, he cut a 300-metre-long and 25-ft-wide road through a mountain to link Ghivra mauja of Dashrath Nagar, in Gehlaur Ghati to Atara Prakhand, Wajirganj thereby reducing the distance from 75 kilometres to just one kilometre.
Manjhi, fondly called Mountain Man, died in 2007. He was 70.
The movie will be shot in Bihar and the director said: "We are still finalising the last schedule at the moment. Once that is done, we will start shooting. The shooting will be held on location in Bihar."
The rest of the cast has not been chosen yet and the director said that they are still working that out. "It should be finalised by the end of this month," he added.
Mehta is also working on another biopic titled "Noor". It revolves around the life of legendary World War II spy, Noor Inayat Khan.

Since you guys appear to be the experts I have many questions to ask. I know mileage varies in this field, but any info is helpful:
My line is GGF - GM - F - Me
I will likely be able to apply in Boston (where I go to school, and have used consulates there in the past), Miami, or Italy (theoretically), or even theoretically London if I worked fast (I am legally residing in London atm). Where is best for this process? It appears to be Boston, but if anyone has advice I'm willing to listen. My documents are from all over the Eastern Seaboard, ranging as far South as Florida and as far north as Mass.
My ggf was named Giorgio, but on all american papers after his ship records he went by 'George.' What do I need to do with this discrepancy?
We do not have original naturalization papers. What will suffice in place of the originals? I requested a document look up from UCIS - will what they send me count as proof of naturalization (assuming UCIS finds something, but they should as my gaunt remembers my ggf becoming naturalized when she was pregnant with her first kid in 1947-8)?
My father is hunting this down, but there's a chance we will not be able to get a birth certificate for my gf. What happens in this case? Will other records suffice? Again the lines goes through my grandmother not him! I'm also worried about my GGF's marriage certificate to my GGM. Though my GM's Birth certificate has my GGF and GGM's names.
Also, what is the best way to get my GGF's birth certificate from Italy? I believe the town to be Procida, Napoli. I am currently located in the UK - so if anyone has any info let me know. I'm enlisting the help of some Italian friends, but I'd like third and fourth opinions! (If I planned a vacation to Italy would this be the kind of thing I could just pick up?)

Fast Web Proxy List Released for Data-Heavy Internet Relocation
idcloak releases a Fast Web Proxy list for those needing to resituate their internet access and carry out data-heavy tasks from that new location.
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) July 21, 2013
The latest release from idcloak is the Fast Web Proxy list, a collection of the highest performance public IP proxies currently online. They are connected to directly through a browser's network settings.
Proxies allow users to reroute their internet connection to a different global location and access the web from there with a new IP address. The technology is popular among those concerned about government surveillance or corporate tracking, as well as those suffering internet restrictions due to internet censorship or geodiscrimination.
idcloak's lead web researcher, Robin Welles, had this to say about the Fast Web Proxy list release, "There is an increasing demand for higher performance proxies; ones that can deliver large quantities of content at high speeds. This is partly because of the boom in video and audio streaming services online and in part because of the ongoing growth in the tablet and smart phone market. To serve this demand, the fast web proxy list extracts and displays the highest speed proxies from a 1500-strong database."
The release is expected to appeal to devotees of YouTube in countries where either the site as a whole, or just some of its pages, are inaccessible. "By rerouting their internet to an alternative country, a user may easily change their web access privileges. This can be vital in countries suffering state censorship of the net".
idcloak hopes that the proxy lists offered for free by the company will raise the profile of web relocation technologies, "We believe the capacity for anonymity and unrestricted access to the internet should be a basic and fundamental right for any adult. We hope that these public proxies will allow users to break out of state censorship of the net without having to pay for the privilege in terms of money or time."
The release follows idcloak's recent launch of a user-friendly web service proxy, intended to allow first-time users of proxies to experiment with the benefits of relocating their internet connection. The company is due to become a global and independent VPN service provider in September 2013.
idcloak Technologies is a Dallas-based provider of proxy technologies. See more at http://www.idcloak.com.

Review: 'Thom Yorke'
The music, performed by the Radiohead frontman with an all-star band, had a propulsive energy.
The music, performed by the Radiohead frontman with an all-star band, had a propulsive energy.
From the first notes of "Why Go," the band played with a furious energy.

BIG INDUSTRY SHOW : DENVER 2014 from BIG INDUSTRY SHOW on Vimeo.
Get up close personal with some of the world's most well respected glass artists.
Galleria at BIG Industry Show Denver 2014 from BIG INDUSTRY SHOW on Vimeo.
Accessories & Mics
DENVER, May 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2014 BIG Industry Show, Galleria glass exhibition and High Times US Cannabis Cup has been hailed as an enormous success by its organizers. The BIG Industry Show broke a number of its own records, cementing its position as the leading 420 lifestyle event in the US.
Held in the Denver Mart on April 16 thru 20, following a change of venue due to massive demand for tickets, the 2014 event was attended by some 50,000 delegates – a huge increase over the 10,000 people who attended the 2013 event.
The 2014 BIG Industry Show included record numbers of exhibitors and also featured a huge range of new and innovative crossover partnerships, such as its first ever tattoo exhibition, the Dunkxchange sneaker and streetwear show and the thought-provoking graffiti installation. Organizers at BIG commented at the conclusion of the event:
"We are thrilled to have run such a successful event and would like to thank all those who have played a role in bringing this leading celebration of the 420 lifestyle to Colorado. The massive attendance figures have shown us just how current and in demand events like this are. We've been left feeling truly inspired to start planning the 2015 event, which we are determined will be even bigger, better and more innovative!"
The BIG Galleria glass exhibition also included another first in 2014, with April 18 seeing a canned goods drive take place in aid of Denver's homeless population. The organizers gathered boxes of cans throughout the day, which will be distributed to Denver's homeless thanks to the organizers' ethos of giving something back to the community that made their event feel so welcome.
While the BIG team will no doubt be taking a short and very well-deserved break in order to rest and enjoy their success before moving on to next year's event, there's no doubt that the planning for 2015 will soon begin in earnest. With a team this creative and innovative behind the scenes, there's no doubt that whatever next year's show brings, it will be set to attract even more delegates and reconfirm the event's leading role in the US's 420 lifestyle sector.
A special thanks to leading brand Formula 420 for setting standards in the industry for nearly two decades. Always innovating and trendsetting, we salute you.

QuarkXPress has always been the perfect tool for creating and publishing documents. In QuarkXPress 8 Essential Training, Jay Nelson—the publisher of Design Tools Monthly and a QuarkXPress expert—covers all the tools and features in this updated version of the program, from basic page layout to Flash integration and web page creation. Throughout this comprehensive training, Jay shows what's needed to produce professional-quality projects that integrate text, pictures, graphics, and tables. He also offers real-world page layout techniques that designers can apply to their own projects. Exercise files accompany the course.
Creating a webpage in QuarkXPress can be as simple as this. Create anything you like using any of the tools in QuarkXPress, for example, this advertisement with pictures and place logos, text boxes, dotted rules, then choose Layout > Duplicate to duplicate the layout, and for Layout Type, instead of Print, choose Web. Give it a name that makes sense, Ad web page, leave the default as they are or change them to your preferences, click on OK, and now we have a webpage that looks exactly like the design we did in QuarkXPress.
To preview it, all you need to do is click the little glow button down here and it will preview it in your Web Browser of choice. And this isn't just a picture of your QuarkXPress page, each item is separate just as you might expect. Now what's great about this is it's literally a one-click operation, but as such it has its limitations. Going back to QuarkXPress, we realize that you can have as many pages as you like in this layout, but there are no site management tools. So realistically, what you'd use this for would be to design a page that looks exactly the way you want it and either hand it off to someone who is going to do an ad interactivity and if necessary recreate it in another program like Dreamweaver, or you can use it as is in your own web projects.
The beautiful thing about it is that either way your design on your webpage is going to look exactly like you created it in QuarkXPress. With all the advanced features such as drop shadows on items, advanced typography, boxes full of beautiful blends, text on a path if you'd like, literally, everything you can do in QuarkXPress. As a designer, if you've ever had to hand your designs off to a website developer, you know that it's difficult to communicate the nuances of your design to another person, especially if that person hasn't learned the aesthetic skills that you have.
You can use QuarkXPress to design exactly what you want and when you hand-off this exported file to your website programmer, they'll have every item necessary to build the website exactly to your specifications without you worrying about them changing some detail that they maybe didn't notice, but that is important to you. For example, each of these pictures will be rotated exactly the way you rotated them and cropped exactly how you did and scaled the way you wanted them as well. Not only does that avoid the time and charges that would otherwise be required for your web person to recreate each little item, it also means that you don't have to sweat the details about whether they did it exactly the way you wanted them to.
But let's say you are not handling this project out to someone else but you want to complete the page yourself. QuarkXPress offers the interactive tools that you need to create hyperlinks as well as image maps, interactive form elements, and rollovers. One thing to be aware of as a designer is that while you can format the text in anyway you'd like, and QuarkXPress will faithfully reproduce them as pictures of that text. If you want the text to remain live and selectable on the webpage, you need to tell XPress not to convert these text boxes into pictures.
One way to do that is to go to the Item > Modify menu, or choose it from the contextual menu that pops up with the Ctrl or right-click onto the item. And under Export, just turn-off this little checkbox down here, Convert to Graphic on Export. That way when it exports, it'll make an actual text box and fill it with the font that's defined in the Cascading Style Sheets that are included with QuarkXPress or that you can create or edit yourself. To edit those CSS font families, you just go to the Edit menu and choose CSS Font Families. There you can create a new family or use one they've already got, or edit one to suit your purposes.
Generally, these are very safe because these fonts are available on both platforms. So by now even with this quick little example, you are probably realizing that in this web-space, the web tools and the way you work with items is very similar to how you do those things in the print space as well. Items have attributes that can be modified, and in this case, the modifications affect the way it creates a webpage. And that advantage is an addition to having complete control over the design of the page, and what designers doesn't want to have complete control over their designs.

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
Java applications include a built-in Garbage Collection (GC). In many other programming languages, the developers need to manually allocate and free memory regions so that the freed memory can be reused.
Java applications on the other hand only need to allocate memory. Whenever a particular space in memory is no longer used a separate process called Garbage Collection clears the memory for you. How the GC detects that a particular part of memory is no longer used is out of scope for this article, but you can trust the GC in this regard.
The "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded" error means that GC has been trying to free the memory but is pretty much unable to get any job done. By default it happens when the JVM is spending more than 98% of the total time in GC. In addition, after GC less than 2% of the heap is recovered.
So – the "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded" error will be displayed when your application has exhausted pretty much all the available memory and GC has repeatedly failed to clean it.
The cause
When failing with the "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded" error, the JVM is signalling that your application is spending too much time in garbage collection with little to show for it. By default the JVM is configured to throw this error if you are spending more than 98% of the total time in GC and after the GC less than 2% of the heap is recovered.
What would happen if this GC overhead limit was not present? Note that the "GC overhead limit exceeded" error is thrown only when 2% of the memory was freed after several GC cycles. This means that the little amount GC was able to clean will be quickly filled again thus forcing GC to restart the cleaning process again.This forms a vicious cycle where the CPU is 100% busy with GC and no actual work can be done. End users of the application are facing extreme slowdowns – operations which used to be completed in milliseconds are now likely to take minutes to finish.
So the "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded" message is a pretty nice example of a fail fast principle in action.
Solution to the problem See how Plumbr's automatic root cause detection helps. Try plumbr
In the following example we create a "GC overhead limit exceeded" error by initializing a Map and adding key-value pairs into the map in unterminated loop:
class Wrapper {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
Map map = System.getProperties();
Random r = new Random();
while (true) {
map.put(r.nextInt(), "value");
As you might guess this cannot end well. And, indeed, when launched with:
java -Xmx100m -XX:+UseParallelGC Wrapper
we are facing our "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded" message. But this example is rather tricky. When launched with different Java heap size or a different GC algorithm, my Mac OS X 10.9.2 with Hotspot 1.7.0_45 will choose to die differently. For example, when running with smaller Java heap size such as the following:
java -Xmx10m -XX:+UseParallelGC Wrapper
the application will die with a more familiar "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" message being thrown on Map resize. And when running with other garbage collection algorithms besides ParallelGC, such as -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC or -XX:+UseG1GC, the error you face will be caught by the default exception handler and is without stacktrace as the heap is exhausted to the extent where the stacktrace cannot even be filled on Exception creation.
These variations are a truly clear example that on resource-constrained situations you cannot predict the way your application is going to die so do not base your expectations on a specific sequence of actions to be completed.
Solution to the problem Try plumbr
The solution
If you just wished to get rid of the "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded" message, adding the following to your startup scripts would do just that:
I would strongly suggest NOT to use this option though – instead of fixing the problem you are just postponing the inevitable: the application is running out of memory and needs to be fixed. Specifying this option just masks the original "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded" error with a more familiar message "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space".
Another way to give (temporary) relief to GC is to give more memory to the process. Again this is as easy as adding (or increasing if present) just one parameter in your startup scripts:
java -Xmx1024m com.yourcompany.YourClass
In the above example the Java process is given 1GB of heap. Increasing its value will solve your GC overhead limit problem if your application suffered from insufficient memory in the first place.

The Jackson County Commissioners will consider cremation of a Jackson County resident who passed away over a year ago, and consider other items on the consent agenda during their regular meeting to be held 9 a.m. Monday, July 28, in the Commissioners Office of the County Courthouse.
During the meeting, Commissioners will consider to authorize the cremation of Justine Morehouse, age 74, who passed away on May 16, 2013 in Altus, whose body was unclaimed and has been at the Oklahoma City Medical Examiner's office since her death, all in accordance with 56 Oklahoma Statute § 31 and § 54, and 63 Oklahoma Statute § 1-328 and 1-329.1
According the District Attorney, John Wampler, those statutes specify that Commissioners are responsible for taking care specify burial of "poor persons."
"It is very seldom that they have to do anything with it any more," Wampler said. "When the individual died her body was take to the Medical Examiner's Office in Tulsa, because no one was sure why she passed away. As an unexplained death ME performs an autopsy. No family members claimed the body. When that happens, it falls back upon the county where the person passed away to make arrangements to either bury or cremate the remains of that person. It's a very rare thing. I've been here 24 years and if this situation has come up before, I don't remember. "
Commissioners will then consider to authorize Lowell-Tims Funeral Home to transport the body of Justine Morehouse from the Oklahoma City Medical Examiner's office to Altus and to perform cremation services for the consideration in the amount of $200.
Other items to be considered during the meeting include last meeting's minutes, reports, officer reports, and blanket purchase orders. They will also consider appropriations for the month of July 2014.
Commissioners will also consider a bid offer for Commissioners' Sale by Jackson County Treasurer, Renee Howard on property acquired at resale, 612 W. Liveoak.
After new business and approval of claims, the meeting will adjourn.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
I write this review with some trepidation, noting the other 127 reviews and the popularity of the novel. But, as reading and literature is such a subjective endeavor, I will offer my thoughts about this great book.
The Handmaid's Tale is the recounting of one woman's life in the midst of what appears to be a religious and political revolution. The parameters of the revolution are vague because the tale is told in the first person and deals more with Offred's personal suffering and struggle to survive. Offred is a surrogate, enslaved and reprogrammed to provide children to the ruling class, most of whom are sterile. Her movements, diet, and day to day activities are dictated and monitored. But, however her captors try to change and influence Offred's thoughts, they fail and the tale contains a vital thread of thoughts, recriminations, and longings from Offred's past.
The dystopian story, in my mind, is a comment on the politics of power, not so much on the macro or geo-politcial scale, but on the personal and individual scale. Amidst all of the rules and regulations of the Gilead society, the characters are constantly struggling with one another to gain the upper hand in their personal relationships and dealings, each one choosing a different angle to work. Surely there are messages here for us about the power of religion, class society, and gender politics. But, for me, the most striking elements of the story are those dealing with the seesawing relationships between Offred and each of her captors. Atwood's novel ultimately exposes the fragile balance we all try to achieve between our true self, deeply held and protected, and the compromises in life we are willing to make for survival, or in some cases, for the upper hand. Offred, the Commander, his wife, and even many of Offred's friends make choices that help them negotiate the new rules of the Gilead society. But these choices each also have very personal motivations, affecting the dynamics of their relationships in very personal ways.
The novel also has much to say about reality , perception, and the need to control. There is so much in this short work to discover, it's no wonder that it has become such a favorite, as it is sure to bear up under multiple re-reads.
Atwood's writing is never overbearing. She always allows Offred's voice to carry the narrative. Neither is the underlying framework for the story prohibitive, as can be common in dystopian attempts. Rather, Atwood is able to give us a frightening sense of the oppressive ruling government without beating us over the head with the structure or with horrific, detailed accounts of abuse and suffering. While the rules and regulations are laid out and the suffering described, it is always carried on Offred's perspective and always informs her story.
Highly recommended!
5 bones!!!!!
Maybe I've read too much dystopia in my time, but this didn't really click with me. The narrator is a handmaid - basically a woman brought into the home in order to make babies with the man of the house, forever resented by the man's wife and the other servants. Her life is equal parts dangerous and boring; regular people have to be very careful what they say or do or else face severe repercussions, while those in power enjoy freedom from whichever rules they don't like. I've read it before many times in other stories, many of them more compelling than this. I appreciated the epilogue, rather than leaving the reader hanging, but it did little to bring me back in. Honestly, I think you'd probably enjoy this more if you were not already a fan of dystopia stories.
A story of a handmaid named Offred who is only seen as an time to give birth to children. She remembers a simpler time where she would live freely with her husband, but all of that has changed. This book portrays women as nothing but items for reproducing. I did not favor this book. Although it did have some interesting story plot, i find it sends the wrong message. If i ever was to use this book, I would have to do some rereading and heavy analysis before hand. The book did capture my attention, but it was not quite the book for me.
Such a horrible sad story. I feel the ending....the (star date) 2195 conference chapter was sort of dumbing down to us. The future seemed like an advance sort of ISIS culture. Written in 1998 the shades of life on the strick Islamic states ( as I envision in regards of all the propaganda). A terrible fate for anyone who falls outside the lines of what is fdmanded of a woman/female. Haunting and beautifully written...a warning of what just may be our fate.
I just couldn't like this book, I tried and better tried to see the metaphor and simile in it but it was just, for me, a boring drudge through tedium.
Sorry feminists across the world, I know this book is hailed as a great work of literature but I just couldn't see it. The narrative was boring, the characters unsympathetic and one-dimensional, the actual plot just didn't work for me either and there is actually a really serious flaw in the HOW of the writing. There is no distinction between characters and narrator.
The story is disjointed, things are done for the shock value rather than the narrative value and, overall, it's a real disappointment on all levels.
As a cautionary tale, Atwood's novel lacks the direct, chilling plausibility of Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World. It warns against too much: heedless sex, excessive morality, chemical and nuclear pollution. All of these may be worthwhile targets, but such a future seems more complicated than dramatic. But Offred's narrative is fascinating in a way that transcends tense and time: the record of an observant soul struggling against a harsh, mysterious world.
How sad for postfeminists that one does not feel for Offred-June half as much as one did for Winston Smith, no hero either but at any rate imaginable. It seems harsh to say again of a poet's novel - so hard to put down, in part so striking - that it lacks imagination, but that, I fear, is the problem.
It's a bleak world that Margaret Atwood opens up for us in her new novel, ''The Handmaid's Tale'' - how bleak and even terrifying we will not fully realize until the story's final pages. But the sensibility through which we view this world is infinitely rich and abundant. And that's why Miss Atwood has succeeded with her anti-Utopian novel where most practitioners of this Orwellian genre have tended to fail.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 038549081X, Paperback)In the world of the near future, who will control women's bodies?
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are only valued if their ovaries are viable.
Offred can remember the days before, when she lived and made love with her husband Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now....
Funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing, The Handmaid's Tale is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and tour de force.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:34:40 -0400)
A look at the near future presents the story of Offred, a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, once the United States, an oppressive world where women are no longer allowed to read and are valued only as long as they are viable for reproduction.

I'm Greg McBride, senior financial analyst with Bankrate.com, and here is your weekly look at auto loan rates.
New-car loan rates inched lower, reversing last week's move, with the average four-year loan rate retreating to 4.03 percent and the average five-year rate now at 4.11 percent. Yes, that's right. The rate is higher on a longer-term loan, which negates some of the benefit of stretching the loan to get a lower monthly payment. Of course, the other risk of stretching into a longer-term loan is being upside-down -- or owing more than the car is worth -- for a longer period of time. After all, vehicles depreciate the fastest right after they're driven off the lot.
Used-car loan rates were unchanged, with the average four-year used-car rate holding at 4.51 percent.

Online Risks Focus of Gathering
By TANAYA MCLEMORE
By Tanaya McLemore
Teen correspondent
The Internet is here to stay. And tweens and teens need to be able to navigate it safely.
That was the message last week during Cox Communications' Internet Safety Summit, hosted by Cox's Take Charge program, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and NetSmartz.org . The summit's in its fourth year.
Fifteen students from across the country were selected to attend the event by either writing winning essays or being leaders in their communities. This was the first year the Teen Summit was extended to tweens, ages 8-12.
Some key points at the summit were parental involvement, communication, cyber-bullying, social networking, personal and friends' situations, and online predators.
"The Internet is much like the Garden of Eden; there are many fruits of knowledge, but also many serpents," said Rhode Island's Patrick Lambert, 17.
John Walsh of the long-running television program, "America's Most Wanted," and Lauren Nelson, Miss America 2007, led a discussion at the National Press Club. Here, students got involved by answering questions and giving their personal perspectives on the issue.
While the students were at the summit, their parents attended a workshop, where they were shown by NetSmartz about how easy it is to find information about someone with just an e-mail address. They learned that Internet usage is important, but must be used with caution.
Some key findings presented at the summit included: 90 percent of tweens use the Internet by age 9, 1 in 5 tweens have posted information about themselves, and 28 percent of tweens have been contacted online by a stranger.
During the three-day event, students broke into small groups, and many met with their legislators on Capitol Hill. The Virginia- Washington, D.C., group – including Skylar Behn, 10, from Northern Virginia, Khadijah Johnson, 14, from Roanoke, and I – met with Michael Sozan, U.S. Sen. Jim Webb's legislative director. In the brief meeting, the findings from the summit and our shared experiences were discussed.
The following day, a few selected students were able to meet with Kevin J. Martin, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, to reiterate the importance of keeping kids safe online.
On the final night at a Cox-hosted dinner, everyone had a chance to share their favorite moment of the trip when a microphone was passed around. Laughs and tears filled the room; parents spoke about watching their children mature during the summit.
Roanoke's Khadijah said: "It was an eye-opening experience and a great opportunity that I won't forget." I couldn't agree more.

Missed timeout, seconds sink Magic comeback
MAR 30, 2014 10:37p ET
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Less than a minute into the third quarter Sunday night, the Orlando Magic found themselves down 21 points to the Toronto Raptors.
But with less than nine seconds remaining, they were in a position to perhaps go into overtime for the second time this weekend and the eighth time this season.
The Magic did a lot of things right over the final 24 minutes -- shooting 67 percent from the floor, holding the Raptors to 41 points, getting lifts from Jameer Nelson and Victor Oladipo as well as an unexpected boost from Dewayne Dedmon in only his eighth game with them. But the inability of Maurice Harkless to inbound the ball with the Magic trailing by three ending up being their undoing as the Raptors held on for a 98-93 victory.
Harkless claimed he was trying to get the attention of referee Scott Foster and call a timeout before being whistled for a five-second violation.
"I guess he just didn't acknowledge me," he said. "He said he didn't hear me, but I called to him a couple times."
"I felt like Mo called timeout, but I guess the ref was on a different count," said Oladipo, who scored 12 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter in his second game after losing his starting job to Nelson.
In coach Jacque Vaughn's opinion, one play didn't make the difference in the Magic's 53rd loss of the season. Harkless' violation was their 19th turnover of the game, with five of those coming during a nine-minute stretch of the first half where they didn't make a field goal.
"It was just good defense by Toronto denying the basketball in," Vaughn said of the play with the Raptors clinging to a 96-93 lead. "We'll continue to get better at it. The good thing is we'll continue to be in those situations, and we'll get better at accomplishing it."
There were other contributing factors to the outcome. After a 35-14 advantage in free-throw attempts Friday night in an overtime victory over Charlotte, the Magic got to the line only 14 times compared to 27 for the Raptors. And for the third game in a row, Arron Afflalo went 3 of 9 from the floor.
But it was Afflalo who pulled the Magic to within three with a 3-pointer in the final minute and who Harkless was trying to find on the play drawn up by Vaughn.
"We were looking for Arron," said Harkless, who finished with 14 points in a team-high 37 minutes. "He just wasn't open, and nobody else was open."
When asked about the disparity in foul shots, Vaughn replied, "I'm just going to say the referees were great throughout the game. I'm going to leave it at that."
In addition to Foster not granting Harkless a timeout, Kevin Scott whistled Oladipo for the first technical foul of the rookie's NBA career late in the third quarter. Oladipo believed he should have gone to the line after driving the lane and drawing contact from Landry Fields, but no personal foul was called.
"I just felt like I got fouled," he said. "That was my mistake of overreacting and not keeping my emotions in. I felt like he missed the call, but that's a part of basketball."
Added Vaughn: "He'll grow. He'll continue to get fouled, and a great lesson for him is how you react to it, how you respond to it. We want him to continue to go to the bucket and get contact."
It wasn't unusual to see Oladipo, Harkless, Tobias Harris and E'Twaun Moore on the floor at the beginning of the quarter when the Magic went on a 12-3 run to tie the game. What was strange was having Dedmon being the center in that group rather than Nikola Vucevic, who had 18 points by halftime, or Kyle O'Quinn.
"When your number's called, you've just got to be ready, no matter what," said Dedmon, who played a total of only 50 minutes in his previous seven games and did not get in at all against the Bobcats.
Had the Magic been ready in the first half, the game could well have gone their way.
"We knew one thing going into the second half, and that's we had done it before," Oladipo said. "So we had all the confidence in the world that we could come back and cut into the lead and make it a ballgame."
