Hello, and welcome to Cloudflash. Typical activities include watching the clouds float by, sleeping, and exchanging the tokens of dairy products for things that may or may not amuse you.
Cloudflash is best viewed in Mozilla Firefox; the layout and colours are a bit messy in Internet Explorer and Chrome. Yes, I'm telling you to download/use a specific browser for one website.
|January 12, 2015 - A new logo for a new year for a new hope for a new design
|Danny Poloskei
Cloudflash is now ready to acknowledge that it is 2015. Yep, changing the year number in a few files really took a lot out of me. Probably won't be able to do anything productive for at least a couple months. I kinda changed the logo while I was messing with that crusty old image. I just felt like it was time. I've been meaning to change it to my fancy writing for a while, but was undecided on how to make the C look. I had a fairly underwhelming C designed, which simply wouldn't do for a website that starts with the letter C. Today, I had an idea out of nowhere - to make the C resemble a moon shape. It seems to work. It will seem to work better if I ever get around to redesigning the site to look like a night sky. Good night.
|December 31, 2014 - R.I.P. 2014
|Danny Poloskei
And so concludes another great* year of Cloudflash. We've once again had our fair share of thrills, chills, and spills regarding my unfinished projects. Will next year end also end on an incredibly suspenseful cliffhanger? Probably. In actual news, I just released a huge update to the A.C.E. project. Details can be found in the changelog as per usual. I dunno if anyone here cares about that project at all, but I think it's shaping up nicely. Once it's more developed, there's a good chance I'll work on other projects again. I always have a hard time thinking up decent character designs, but A.C.E. makes it fun and easy! 9 out of 10 dentists recommend it! Wrappy New Year, everyone!
*Opinions most likely contrary.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superhero/Fantasy crossover,
Neil J. Pearson (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book of Transformations (Red Sun 3) (Hardcover)
The third installment of the "legends of the red sun" is the most unique so far with a focus on superheroes as a political tool. While this idea is well explored in the realms of comic, I haven't really seen it done in fantasy before. The motivations behind these "heroes" are, oddly enough, more realistic than in modern set comics. It also explores the "good people doing bad things" in a mature way and also highlights that people are often powerless against the system - something I'm sure Mark was intentionally doing.
Some people may find it distracting that only one character from the previous books appears here but to be honest that shouldn't be too much of a worry as the new cast are all quite likeable. Another aspect of Mark's writing which may be "love or hate" is that while he clearly has an epic storyline taking place the focus is, more often than not, more concerned with the immediate personal problems of his characters. I found this frustrating in places but at the same time realise this is a more honest form of telling the story.
An aspect of the story that may also generate controversy is the transgender character, although I think she is handled expertly and rather than take a sensationalist approach to her, Mark uses her as one of many links that fit into the books title. There are some scenes in the book that are worrying in the sense that I sadly fear that's how people in our own world would respond.
It's also worth pointing out that Mark is often at his best when writing scenes that should be utterly ridiculous but often turn out to be the most heartfelt eg being caught "cheating" by your dead partner.
Overall I'd say this book is well worth the read although many might find this story as a diversion from the main arc, although closer inspection reveals it actually progresses the story quite a lot as well as introduce some major characters. The action is more understated than it was in "city of Ruin" but the characterisation is as strong as ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic,
Stephanie (Leics, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book of Transformations: Legends of the Red Sun: Book Three (Kindle Edition)
Book of Transformations - Mark Charan Newton - book 3 of 4.
What a fantastic book. I'll sum up my review. BUY THIS BOOK :)
That was easy. The book can be read as a standalone novel, as with the previous couple of books he has slightly changed his style, In this book and we are back in the stunning city of Villjamur the site of the first book in the series. The city is surrounded by refugees, Emperor Urtica has now taken over control of the city and is determined to hold on to it come hell or high water. The big freeze is inching closer and the world is holding it's breath.
The city has all sorts of problems the refugees outside, and the oppressed minorities within the city who have a strange rebel leader. So what can the slightly mad emporer come up with... Obvious of course! Create a group of superheroes to save the city. How could anything go wrong with that idea.
So he gets an old ex hero, a self indulgent weener, and a seriously sexy kick arse transsexual together and improves them to save the city.
We have a bit of a mad monk arrive around now, who among other things seems to have the ability to bring the dead back as ghosts....
Nothing can go wrong with Urtica's plans ;)
The slight fly in the ointment is the scary group of cultists marching back to the city to pass on some ultimatum from alien Invaders. Well by now the title really really becomes accurate and everything around the city is transforming.
Then chaos is let loose within the city, grab this book and find out what happens.
I've reviewed this for another site and said it's the best book / new series / new author that I have read in a very long time. The writing and pace of the book is fantastic. Your never quite sure what is going to happen next.
If there is one author you must add this year to your list of must have authors make it Mark Charan Newton.

5.0 out of 5 stars "This was no time to be a hero.",
Amazon Customer "carnivore" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book of Transformations (Red Sun 3) (Hardcover)
With The Book of Transformations Mr. Newton returns to Villjamur, the towering city (and Imperial capital) that dominated the first book in the series. There have been changes. An apocalyptic new ice age is still looming on the horizon. Alien crab people are leering at the world from a hostile dimension. The Empire is aggressively at war with its neighbours, seeking to stockpile resources and grab new land. At home, things are no more peaceful. The Emperor Urtica has brought about a regime of haves and have-nots, building extravagent new markets for rich merchants while driving the poor and the refugees into a subterranean undercity. It's land war overseas and class war at home.
Mr. Newton cheekily opens The Book of Transformations with "This was no time to be a hero." The rest of the text explores the meaning of that sentence - why does heroism fail? Or, more accurately, superheroism. The core conceit in epic fantasy is that the hero is actually better than everyone else. He's the best swordsman; she's the most powerful wizard or the preternaturally clever thief; he's the child of prophecy; she's the chosen one. Not only are they more important in the Great Scheme of Destiny, they're actually more talented. Be this via exhaustive training (and who doesn't love a fantasy training montage?) or just as the result of an innate power, the hero is superhuman.
Mr. Newton explores this difference in his post-modern look at fantasy heroics. Many of the main characters in The Book of Transformations are also superheroic - in possession of powers way outside the ken of the average bloke.
The Villjamur Knights, the "recruited" team of three heroes intended to protect the city, are the headline examples. Lan, Vuldon and Tane are selected by the increasingly-neurotic Emperor to undergo a series of mysterious cultist trials. As a result, Lan can control gravity. Vuldon is super-strong. Tane becomes a were-tiger with phenomenal agility. The three are an unstoppable force... except that they aren't.
The three were selected because of their physical potential and their pliability. They "get to" become superheroes because the Emperor can be blackmail them into obedience. Similarly, their newfound skills are only of limited use. Being able to break down a door is lovely, but what's there to do in a riot involving thousands of people? Claws are cool but any nasty bureaucrat with access to the right information can keep Tane on a leash. In the greater scheme of things their talents are meaningless. The Emperor has an army to do his dirty work - the role of the Knights is merely to provide a glamorous distraction. This isn't high fantasy. Flying people aren't going to solve Villjamur's problems.
The other key players are facing their own barriers to the successful achievement of the traditional heroic standard. Dartun Sur has been modified by his former alien captors. He can level a village or fly to the moon, but he doesn't know why. He's immensely powerful, but with that comes an equally gaping detachment from the rest of humanity. Sur alternately marvels at his own prowess or barrels inhumanly forward on a mission that he doesn't even fully comprehend.
Shalev, for one of the book's ostensible villains (at least, as far as the Knights are concerned), is the closest interpretation of proper epic heroism. Tragic past + great power = moral obligation. She's out to topple an evil empire and - upon viewing said empire through the readers' eyes - she's got a point. She's possessed by her mission and, although she permits discussion, she is ultimately no more open-minded to dissension than any other superhero. Just like any stableboy with a magic sword, she's got force and certainty on her side.
As a comics fan, I naturally tend toward an analysis of The Book of Transformations' take on fantasy heroism - or, more accurately, the transformation from human to superhuman. But this is only one of the many, many lenses that can be applied Mr. Newton's substantial text. He has given his book an audacious title and yet the finished product manages to live up to it. The book also scrutinizes the moment that utopian socialistic aspiration turns into anarchist revolt, and when enlightened absolutism becomes an oligarchical dictatorship. Transformations marks a turning point in the series as well - the climax of the internal politics and the dawn of a more external focus. The characters themselves undergo a series of transformations: static definitions of gender, class and species are all evolved over the course of the book. Transformation is a broad topic, but Mr. Newton approaches it from every conceivable direction. This is a book that, like many of its Dying Earth predecessors, will provide grist for criticism for decades to come.
That said, The Book of Transformations isn't a weighty tome. It is a cheeky, well-paced adventure story with flashing blades and fiery sorcery a-plenty. There's a stirring romance, a haunting journey through the land of the dead, a series of explosive battles and even a chase scene or two. Mr. Newton maintains the light touch of the surreal that served him so well in City of Ruin - he discusses the very, very strange in the same dry manner as the very, very everyday. Be it the trilobites on the street or the giant in the harbour, the Weirdness is treated as commonplace, which, of course, just makes it all the more wonderfully bizarre.
After an auspicious (if raw) start with Nights of Villjamur, Mr. Newton found his voice with City of Ruin. He hasn't lost it. The Book of Transformations is the work of a confident and mature author. An author who, having become comfortable with his style, is keen to wrap it around increasingly ambitious challenges. And Mr. Newton has just such a challenge on his hands: with a fourth novel in the works, he must to corral the scattered refugees of three tightly-packed volumes in the series' conclusion. I'm aching to know how it all resolves.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Intriguing,
Kevin Castillo (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I recently bought a copy of this book. I am only half-way through reading the book but I think it is refreshing and unique in some ways. Without giving away much, I think the character stories are interesting and I can't wait to finish reading the book and start the next one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Genre defiant series doubles down on "Weird.",
Ahimsa Kerp (Portland) - See all my reviews
This aptly named book takes the Red Sun series to new and unexpected places.
It's not perfect, and at times the prose feels first drafty. Some of the dialogue is clunky, and the modern vernacular is distracting; ie; "What's up?" a character refers to their "rep," an angry boss yells "my office, now!" There are two mentions of Neandrathals, which seems to make no sense to this world. Presumably the dialect has been translated from a foreign tongue to modern English, but it can be jarring.
Newton deserves kudos for writing books like no one else. The introduction of what are essentially superheroes to a fantasy tale is risky, but he handles it deftly. Each of the Knights are compelling characters (though one wonders why there are only three of them.)
Urtica is an all-too believable villain; a petty, scheming greedy man who has risen to power via all means necessary. He doesn't get a lot of screen time, but he's written quite well.
The best part of this book, however, is the examination of underlying social issues. Even whilst reading the Knight's tales, we as a reader know that we are reading about the bad guys, the shock troops of Villjamur's 1 percent. That they don't consider themselves bad, that no one in the book does, is sign of a well-constructed story.
In short, Book of Transformations is a thinking man's fantasy, for fans of nuance and good characterization as much as epic battles and cool magic systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very engaging read,
This review is from: The Book of Transformations (Red Sun 3) (Hardcover)
Summary: go and read the book, it's flipping awesome. It has all of the best things from Newton's previous novels (great characters, great setting, weird stuff you'd never imagine, twists and turns and surprises) plus the writing is way better and there are superheroes.
This is my favourite in the series so far, mainly because Lan is such a kick-ass character and the writing style has got really good - in the Book of Transformations Newton seems to have found the right mix of wordiness and simplicity and landed on a really readable style to go with the fantastic (literally) settings and characters. This book is pretty much stand-alone - obviously there are tie ins to the other books so far but really it wouldn't be hard to read it alone. There is so much that is bizarre and left-of-field in these novels, you pretty much have to just go with it either way.
Like another reviewer said, this isn't a typical superhero story - it has layers of complexity aplenty like all of the series. I won't spoil it but the ending is a real surprise and I have no clue what on earth is going to end up happening in the final novel.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good read,
Bought for the husband for his birthday, he thoroughly enjoyed it. Will be buying the next book in the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some great ideas weakened by a flat ending,
A. Whitehead "Werthead" (Colchester, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book of Transformations (Red Sun 3) (Hardcover)
Emperor Urtica rules over a nation threatened from within and without. Hordes of invading creatures are threatening the northern islands, where the city of Villiren is commanded to hold out against impossible odds. However, with most of the imperial armies dispatched to Villiren, political intrigue and anarchic violence are taking hold of the streets of Villjamur, the capital. To combat the threat, Urtica recruits three individuals and transforms them into super-powered warriors, the Villjamur Knights, but must use a mixture of threats and promises of rewards to keep them in line.
Meanwhile, a priest arrives in Villjamur on a quest that has already seen him marked for death by the region's dominant religion. He seeks to expose a lie that has defined the history of the Boreal Archipelago, but in doing so may trigger events that he and the world are unprepared for. Far to the north, Dartun Sur and his band of cultists have returned from the invading creatures' homeworld and rush back to the capital to reveal their findings...in a manner that no-one is expecting.
The Book of Transformations is the third and penultimate volume in The Legends of the Red Sun, following on from Nights of Villjamur and City of Ruin. Like the earlier books in the series, it places a number of self-contained narratives in the context of a longer, more epic story. This time around Newton gives us the story of Lan, a woman born in a man's body, who undergoes a sex-change operation fuelled by magic (or, more accurately, relic technology) only to find herself pressganged into the Knights and kept in service by blackmail.
It's unusual to see transgenderism raised as an issue in a secondary world fantasy novel, but Newton ties it in expertly with the book's overall theme of personal transformation, whether it's physical, spiritual or ideological. Almost every character is undergoing a metamorphosis of some kind, some voluntary, others not, and Lan's transformation is handled sensitively and fits in with the overall theme of the book very well.
Elsewhere, Newton's skills with atmosphere remain strong, with the snow-shrouded streets and rooftops of Villjamur remaining an evocative setting for the action. Character-wise, he gives us some memorable newcomers and brings back a couple of older hands (though not many; the book takes place simultaneously with much of City of Ruin, so the characters from that book are not present) to keep the plot ticking over. This is where the book starts to run into problems: there are a lot of characters doing a lot of things that need to converge for a grand, world-shaking finale that is undoubtedly meant to be epic, jaw-dropping and leave you on the edge of your seat until the final book is released next year. Unfortunately, this doesn't really happen.
The narrative seems to run out of drive some distance before the end. The problem is that Newton is at his best when engaging with interesting issues in a manner that is thoughtful and based in characters' emotions. That's not to say he can't do great mayhem - City of Ruin had some splendid battle sequences - but to do so he needs to root scenes of chaos and combat with characters we've become emotionally invested in. Book of Transformation's key weakness is that there's so much going on we haven't really had time to get really acquainted with the characters to make the huge scenes at the end of the novel come to life. In particular, whilst Lan is well-written, her two fellow Knights are much more lightly-sketched with only hints at depth rather than real exploration of their characters. Hinging so much of the climactic action sequences on their exploits thus falls flat. Similarly, the priest Ulryk is an interesting character with great potential, but he never really comes to life, and Inquisitor Fulcrom's desire to help him feels a bit random, something that has to happen for the plot to work regardless of whether or not it makes sense in terms of character motivation.
The cumulative effect of this is that instead of a vast, awe-inspiring and grand climax, we get something that is, at best, perfunctory. On an intellectual level, lots of interesting things happen at the end, but there is little emotional power to them. Newton's prose, which can be richly atmospheric, feels flat and rushed as he moves to the climax. Scenes featuring huge amounts of devastation in which hundreds of people die feel distant and unengaging, whilst the arrival of what is apparently a major new character at the end passes by with little impact. The problems with the climax are in fact highlighted by how good the first half of the book is, particularly the success Newton initially experiences in exploring these themes of transformation and alteration.
The Book of Transformation (***�) starts off promisingly with some well-realised characters and ideas being explored, but then it tails off as the climax approaches. The ending of the book feels rushed and under-written in comparison to what has come before, but Newton manages to hold things together just well enough to make the final novel an interesting prospect, provided he can avoid the same issues next time around. The novel is available now in the UK and on import in the USA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent,
This review is from: The Book of Transformations (Red Sun 3) (Hardcover)
I'll be brief. This book is a fantastic read every beautifully crafted page of the way. Pure enjoyment, this was such a rewarding read....
As I read through this I was pleased to find that there was not one page of wasted words. For me there was not one time when I was having to read through lesser parts of the book or 'filler' to get to the good bits and I found this very refreshing. It was just great story and great characters all the way through. What more do you want!?

text: Mobile Google adds Galapagos Islands to the increasingly poorly named 'street view,' and it's gorgeous Above: A sea lion traffic jam on Google Street ViewImage Credit: John Koetsier September 12, 2013 9:21 AM John Koetsier 0 Enterprise companies tackle mobile marketing automation slightly differently—and that's why they're on top. Register today for this free VB Insight webinar with AEG's VP of Social and Marketing on May 28th. Marine iguanas and blue-footed boobies aren't found on too many streets. But both are found in significant quantity in the unspoiled ecosystems of the beautiful Galapagos Islands, which Google announced this morning are now available on Street View. And they're absolutely gorgeous — as are the multiple sea lions caught on camera by Google's underwater Trekker cameras. This week is the 178th anniversary of Charles Darwin's historic voyage to the Galapagos, and the islands remain one of the most diverse and unique places on earth. Google's cameras captured both the islands themselves, and the surrounding waters and reefs with breathtaking underwater photography. "Darwin visited Floreana Island, but he didn't have the scuba gear needed to properly explore the marine life just off the island's coast," Google Earth Outreach project lead Raleigh Seamster wrote. "Thanks to our partner, Catlin Seaview Survey and their SVII underwater camera, we were able to collect underwater imagery of some especially energetic and inquisitive sea lions that came out to see whether the divers wanted to play!" According to Google, the imagery isn't just for armchair explorers like you and me, it also has scientific value. In spite of being studied by scientists for generations, the Galapagos Islands are not well mapped, according to Swen Lorenz of the Darwin Foundation. "There has always been satellite imagery, of course, but to now take that next step and work with Google to provide better mapping for Galapagos is something that is very important for our work, and much appreciated."

question about the fuel filters on 990
View Single Post
what car??
down the road
Joined: Dec 2010
Location: Colorado
Oddometer: 372
I would hate to lose the main (cylindrical) filter as the possible contamination to the injectors. Getting some micro junk in the injector nozzle or pintle valve would be not so good in my opinion. I'm thinking of tearing out the old filter material and trying to replace it with some new filtration medium. I'm just curious about whether there is a tight enough fit in there to keep the caps from dislodging or creating another issue. I'm sure there's some kind of adhesive used for the paper element where it's attached to the caps, but what is it. I'm in need of filters (or a possible pump) also here in Guatemala, dealership doesn't have them.
Also, how would having an external fuel filter lower fuel pressure?? It has to go through the filter regardless of where it's at. It would have a few more inches to travel, but as far as pressure I don't think it would lower it. Anyone with experience with this? I'm willing to try it as a solution for my issues if none others present themselves. Although I guess I could have a friend ship some to me, but at a cost :(

Very clean. Very friendly staff.
Too close to freeway. Hard to sleep with semi's rolling by most of the night.
Everything was cleanStaff seemed friendlyRelatively easy to get to
Breakfast was ok, nothing specialBed was below average for comfort - felt every spring in my back
Everything, the room Smelled, had tho switch my first room because the shower didn't work, the second room, the sheets had cigarette burns and the cable didn't work. Under staff no clean towels.No breakfast
The recliner, microwave, refrigerator in the room
The pretty much ignore the room where the continental breakfast is located. They had very little of anything out and available.
The room was nice although it did have an overall smell of cigarette smoke but it wasn't so overpowering to make uncomfortable. The staff was amazing...very, very helpful.
The breakfast food wasn't that good. Stick with hot or cold cereal and it will leave you with a better experience!
Great and Friendly staff. Great Breakfast, Nice Room
Easy check in, friendly staff. Room was nice and exactly what I expected. Good breakfast.
It was a good location with nice rooms. I liked getting a morning newspaper. It has a nice indoor pool and hot tub.
I get headaches from many food additives, so I would have liked to have had ingredients listed on the breakfast items. There was not any real butter. There were not any basic cereals such as corn flakes or cheerios.
The hotel is directly across the street from a Ohio Turnpike onramp which was a huge plus for us as we were travelling back and forth to Illinois. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were clean. I had no issues with this trip and the stay at the hotel was a bonus also having no issues. The in-room desk and free wifi were also a big plus.
There were no cons for this trip. Thank you Del-Mar!
Everything....I would give it a 3.5 star rating.
The room was very clean and welcoming.
The hotel was clean. The staff was friendly. I arrived very late and got into my room quickly.
It was clean and the location was good for our needs.
The price seemed a little much for a hotel in Defiance. I would have been more satisfied if I felt like I good a good bargain for my money.
Traveling western OHIO on 80 or the turnpike, this is convient. Great stay for short night, between destinations.
Clean, comfortable bed, with microwave and refridgrator, but not much room and no extras: 2 pillows on the the double beds. Bathroom and shower were ok-good. Food not real close by, no continental breakfast

Red Bluff Technical Report Abstract
|Volume 4
Tucker, M.E., Williams, C.M., and R.R. Johnson, 1998. Abundance, Food Habits and Life History Aspects of Sacramento Squawfish and Striped Bass at the Red Bluff Diversion Complex, Including the Research Pumping Plant, Sacramento River, California, 1994-1996. Red Bluff Research Pumping Plant Report Series, Volume 4, United States Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Reclamation, Red Bluff, California. 63 pp.
The Red Bluff Research Pumping Plant (RPP) is being evaluated by the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) to determine if pumping water through either Archimedes or internal helical pumps is a viable method for meeting water delivery requirements to the TehamaColusa Canal system. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is contracted to determine the in-river biological implications of the Research Pumping Facility.
This report summarizes Sacramento squawfish, Ptychocheilus grandis, and striped bass, Morone saxatilis, monitoring activities around Red Bluff Diversion Dam (RBDD) and the RPP on the Sacramento River, California, from April, 1994, through July, 1996. Both Sacramento squawfish and striped bass were sampled by angling and electrofishing. The main areas targeted for sampling included RBDD, the RPP, the bypass outfall structure, and a relatively undisturbed area downstream. Sampling occurred weekly, with intermittent periods of higher frequency (2 to 3 times per week). Data and tissues were collected to determine growth rate, age structure, reproductive condition (relative gonad weight), and diet of Sacramento squawfish and striped bass. Most of the fish were tagged and released to estimate population size, movement patterns and actual growth. Data are also presented from the 1st and 2nd Annual Red Bluff Squawfish Derbies.
Sacramento squawfish relative abundance estimates were lower than those reported from previous studies of the area. The highest densities for both Sacramento squawfish and striped bass occurred in the spring and early summer when the dam gates were in and an apparent Sacramento squawfish spawning migration was under way. Nearly all striped bass were captured directly behind the dam while the gates were in (90 percent, N = 89). Diet analysis showed that juvenile salmonids outweighed other food sources in Sacramento squawfish stomachs only during summer, gates in periods. In striped bass stomach samples, juvenile salmonids outweighed other food types by a three to one margin. Other life history parameters were examined and compared to the findings of other authors.

So, as you can see in my avatar, I just purchased a new fitted Reds hat. I bought it from '47 Brand and I am awfully fond of it. As a result, I've recently become rather addicted to the style (I also bought a "sandlot" Reds hat, a Bengals hat, an Expos hat and a Canadiens hat in similar styles).
Anyway, I'm curious whether others have favorite brands they use for Reds hats. Do you buy fitted or adjustable? Also, when do you wear the hat and how do you maintain it?
I realize this is not strictly a baseball question -- but it is technically Reds related, so I put it here. Mods, feel free to move it somewhere else if you so desire.

Functions of Communication in an Organisation
When we speak ,the speech is the message. When we write the writing is the message.When we gesture, face expression and the hand movements convey the message. In what way this communication helps in functioning of an organisation?
Communication servers mainly four purposes within a group or organisation
1) Control
2) Emotional expression
3) Motivation
4) Information
Control :- Communication acts to control member behaviour in an organisation. Generally organisations have authority hierarchies and formal guidelines that the employees are required to follow. When employees are required to communicate any job related grievances to their immediate bosses, to follow their job guidelines, or to comply with company policies, communication is performing a control function. But informal communication also controls behaviour. When work group tease or harass a member who produces too much , they are informally communicating with , and controlling the members behaviour.
Motivation:-Communication fosters motivation by clarifying to employees what is to be done, how well they are doing, and what can be done to improve the performance if it is subpar. The formation of specific goals, feedback on the progress towards goals, and reinforcement of desired behaviour all stimulate motivation and require communication.
Emotional expression:-For many employees their work group is the primary source for social interaction. The communication that takes place within a group acts as a gateway for the members to show their frustration and feeling of satisfaction. Communication therefore provides a release for emotional expression of feeling and for fulfilment of social needs.
Information:- Communicating proper information in a group helps to make valuable decisions in an organisation. Different individuals give different ideas and the best can be selected among all the alternative choices.
None of these four functions should be considered more important than the other. For groups to perform effectively, they need to maintain some form of control over the others, stimulate members to function, provide a means for emotional expression and make decisions. All the communications that take place in a group performs one or more of these functions.

June 18, 2013
CELINA — A judge told Bryant Rhoades he could face the death penalty if convicted of charges in the 2011 murders of Robert and Colleen Grube in rural Fort Recovery.
Rhoades sat at the table with his two attorneys appointed by the court, shackled and showing no emotion as Judge Jeffrey Ingraham read through the 27 criminal charges against him including multiple counts of aggravated murder that carry death penalty specifications.
The 22-year-old Rhoades followed along often looking down at the indictment placed before him listing the charges. In the gallery were the surviving members of the Grube family who have appeared at every hearing. Rhoades only spoke by politely answer the judge with, "Yes sir," every time the judge asked if he understood a charge.
Co-defendant Trevin Sanders Roark, now 19, appeared in the same courtroom the day before on identical charges with the exception he cannot face the death penalty because he was a minor at the time of the crime.
The Grubes were shot and killed inside their rural Fort Recovery home on Nov. 29, 2011. Sanders Roark confessed that he shot Colleen Grube then gave the gun to Rhoades who shot Robert Grube, Mercer Mercer County Sheriff's Detective. Sgt. Doug Timmerman said at an earlier hearing.
The Grubes were killed to dispose of witnesses who could identify them Sanders Roark told Timmerman.
Sanders Roark also told the detective another man and woman were involved in the killings but he said he didn't know their names. No others have been charged and authorities have not said whether the man or woman exists.
The judge scheduled a pretrial for July 23 and set bail at $5 million.
One of Rhoades' attorneys, Bill Kluge, told the judge there was no way he could prepare a death penalty case in 90 days. He said Rhoades was willing to waive his right to a speedy trial.
"We have to hire experts. We have to do our own investigation. There is no way we can be ready," Kluge said.
The judge allowed Rhoades to waive his right to a speedy trial.

Thompson's son, Rick, found the calf Wednesday morning.
His brother, Matt, said he had been in that same area a day or two before "and there was no sign of a dead calf."
When they found it, Matt figures the calf had been dead about a day.
"It didn't die of natural causes," he said. "The hide was peeled back and it was mutilated by someone who knew what they were doing."
The meat was left on the calf.

malware in safari?
EDIT- I figured out where the malware was coming from- its' coming from a Safari extension called "Magic Scroll". it's written by the "Slice Factory," it's supposed to make your scrolling better, which it does, but apparently it written by some malware company that distributes a bunch of stuff. i tracked down their website and sure enough they produce both this scrolling and the price finding add-on. they don't tell you running the mouse add-on will enable the other one however. i got this straight from apple's site i'm going to report it to them hopefully others don't have this same problem. at least you know how to get rid of it now.
ok i feel dumb, on amazon i'm getting this popup in the bottom right of the screen about finding the best deal, the popup says it's the "Best price add-on" but i never installed that. i don't see it in safari's extensions, i assume some program installed it so how do i get rid of it? thanks

Where does "Magic Scroll" hide it's malware?
I had the same problem with this "BestPrice" add-on - but I can't find any extension installed called "Magic Scroll" or anything by Slice Factory. I would like to get rid of this, but I'd also like to know where it came from in the first place!
|Mar 7, 2011, 11:19 AM
|Mar 7, 2011, 11:24 AM
Thanks, I'll try that - weird thing is I haven't added any new extensions for ages and this thing just popped up today.
|Mar 7, 2011, 11:42 AM
Found the "BestPrice" addon
I found which extension was causing the problem - PrintPlus 1.0 - and guess what? It's also by Slice Factory. I'm also going to lodge a complaint with Apple. Looks like they're adding malware to a lot of their programs....
|Mar 7, 2011, 11:52 AM
Huge concidence here - my Safari today has been acting REALLY weird - so much so I just reset it, and I'm not using it currently.
Started on MR - I got a finder popup from my firewall saying Application "Safari" is attempting to access the internet - clicking "no" may change it's performance. (or something to that extent)
I quit Safari and it was still there (hence I don't think it was a random popup window)
I hit cancel, and went about my business. Relaunched Safari and went to Amazon - after my SSL purchase on Amazon - it stated an invalid certificate (from Amazon, WTF?) and it had some jazz about somethingsomethingMedia.com as the site not having proper credentials. (should have captured a screenshot of this) Given that I had not navigated to this sight - nor had this happen with Amazon.com in years - I quit.
Reset Safari entirely - have not touched it since. Went to another device, using another browser, and changed my Amazon.com password.
Likelihood of this being related? Not big - but figured I'd share my odd occurrence...
|Mar 21, 2011, 09:59 PM
I had this same problem with Slice Factory's "Print Plus" - if you look in (in my case) ~/Library/Safari/LocalStorage/safari-extension_com.slicefactory.printplus-wk8yrear33_0.localstorage you can figure out that the code for the malware is in there.
|Mar 21, 2011, 10:03 PM
Just a suggestion: you may want to change the title of this thread to include the name of the offending extension, so if someone is searching for feedback on it, they'll find this thread.
|Mar 21, 2011, 11:43 PM
Tested the following slice factory extensions: 1) Print Plus 2) Dictionary 3) Magic Scroll. All were installed from the Safari Extension Gallery.
I was not able to reproduce the adware behaviour stated by others.
I had ad blocking and plugin blocking disabled during the test. Accept cookies was set to always, all web content settings were enabled, and pop-up windows were allowed.
I also navigated to the Slice Factory website with the extensions installed to see if a cookie set by that webpage initiated the behaviour. I did not install the extensions from the Slice Factory website so that may be a factor in not reproducing the pop-up.

That me say this again as more people before get bad at windows 7 and windows vista and move to Mac computers and Linux and run has root the computer will get malware.
All mac computers OSx and most Linux the root account is locked you are admin user that can run sudo command or SU to actually Switch-User to a root user when you need root privilege.You should not be running has root.
If you do so and with popularity of Mac computers and Linux than windows more malware will make its way out.
Look even apple say you need firewall and you should not be running as root user .No need for anti-virus to date only 3 virus out there for Mac in past 5 years and like none for Linux .
None of my frends that use Linux or Mac computer run as root and never got malware they download lots of free movies and free music where PC will get malware in less than week going to those sites.

All successful, and most plausible, malware attacks on Mac OS X have occurred in the last 2 years with the last quarter of 2007 being particularly prolific. Market penetration and overall sales of the Mac OS X system have directly mirrored development of malware, a phenomenon also demonstrated with other operating systems such as Microsoft Windows. Based on this data there is no reason to believe the trend will not continue as Apple continues to increase their market share.
OS X 10.5 Leopard introduces new sandboxing technology to show a dialog box to the user before running any new program downloaded from the Internet. Software downloaded from the Internet, both from the mail and from browser applications, is marked as suspicious and will not be executed until the user clicks on a confirmation dialog box to explicitly allow it to run.
When reading comments on articles about Mac security, you find many people who are in denial about malware that targets the Mac. Granted, there are far fewer viruses, worms and Trojan horses affecting Macs than Windows PCs, but the risk is real, and its getting worse. In fact, the complacency of Mac users, who have almost been led to believe that their platform is germ-free, may lead to more serious outbreaks should virulent malware target the Mac. Most Mac users dont know how to react to a malware attack.
If we look at 2009, we can see that malware writers are increasingly targeting the Mac. In January, shortly after Apple announced a new version of its iWork suite of productivity software, malware writers took advantage of it. Mac users who downloaded the software via BitTorrent were also treated to the iServices Trojan horse, hidden inside the iWork installer. The iServices Trojan opened a back door on infected Macs, and it connected to remote servers to download new code. It was actively used as part of a botnet that was involved in distributed denial of service attacks and more.

First, there's no need to bold everything. I've read all that before.
The "market share" theory suggests:
larger market share = more visibility = more malwareThis is not proven by actual events. Ten years ago, when Macs represented a much smaller market share and a much smaller installed base, there were a handful of viruses that could affect Mac OS 9 and earlier. Today, Macs have a much larger market share and much larger installed base with Mac OS X (and growing at a rate of over a million Macs per month), but the number of viruses has not increased proportionately.... or at all... in fact, the number has decreased to zero. The market share theory doesn't work. Period.

Page 26
It refers to the bundle architecture as insecure. The argument presented would be true if security sensitive apps were not owned by system. Given that they are owned by system, malware cannot modify the bundle of an app owned by system without authentication when the app is run with user privileges in an admin or standard account.
For example, show package contents of iTunes, Safari, or Mail and try to create a folder in the bundle. In relation to the example in the article, try renaming iTunes.
Apps not owned by system are vulnerable but without privilege escalation can not install rootkits or keyloggers. Even apps owned by system run with user privileges and require privilege escalation to install dangerous payloads.
Mac OS X does not prompt for authentication if you install apps in the proper location for that user account type. When installed in the proper location, apps are sandboxed from the system level of Mac OS X by the Unix DAC model used within Mac OS X.
Windows is less secure because most apps (Chrome only exception I can recall) install their associated files in levels of the system that require authentication regardless of user account type (unless Admin in Windows XP because running as superuser - no authentication required to install with elevated privileges - very dangerous). It is easier to trick Windows users to install a trojan with elevated privileges given that almost all apps ask for authentication to install and the user can not distinguish the intent of that authentication.
Page 30
The claim that the Application folder is unprotected is false. Security sensitive apps within the Application folder are owned by system.
Also, security sensitive system binaries are still stored in /bin and /sbin in Mac OS X.
Page 31
The ability to read the contacts stored in Address Book could be used by a worm to propagate. But, malware that uses this to spread is not likely to appear in the wild if the malware is not profitable. It is unlikely that malware will be profitable without being able to hook (this is a specific function) into apps owned by system.
Page 33
Starts off talking about trojans, trojans are easily avoided with user knowledge in Mac OS X because most apps do not require authentication to install if installed in the appropriate location where the Unix DAC model protects the system.
Viruses using the model shown in the article will not be successful without privilege escalation. This is the reason why Mac OS X malware is not successful in the wild.
By default, very few server side services are exposed in Mac OS X and those that are exposed are sandboxed. Vectors for worm propagation are limited to client side. Client side worms require authentication to install and spread if do not include privilege escalation via exploitation because of the Unix DAC model used in Mac OS X. Trojans used to trick users to authenticate are less likely to be successful in Mac OS X as stated above.

I also had this malware. I was using 4 extensions at the time: PrintPlus 1.0, CustomSearch, AdBlock, and Plugin Customs (all installed directly from Safari Extensions Gallery). AdBlock and Plugin blocking were fully enabled.
The Amazon Best Price add-on popped up within the same hour that I actually USED PrintPlus for the first time, which was about 2 weeks after I installed it. It informed me proudly that it was "embedded in my browser." I freaked out. Could the catalyst have been the actual USE of PrintPlus, as compared to just the installation of it?
I deleted it (and a bunch of other crap that came with it) from ~/Library/Safari/LocalStorage/... It hasn't come back. Ick.

Thanks for the "adware" vs "malware" tip. I'm still a novice and the clarification is appreciated. I wasn't sure of the protocol for something like this, so I sent an immediate bug report to apple with a screen shot and I also reported it via the apple website.
That's also a good idea to complain to the companies who are advertised by the adware. I guess that would be Amazon directly? It's worth a try.

Even if these applications are modified, it would not cause the installation of rootkits, such as keyloggers that could log protected passwords entered into security sensitive apps such as Safari.
|Apr 16, 2011, 07:22 PM
windows uses DLL files and Exe files and the registry when most Unix,Linux and Mac OS X do not.
humm the DLL ,exe and registry are good way for malware to mess up your system.
Not say registry errors over the years of computer use.

Thank you so much (Kathleen) for a wonderful discussion about reading knitting patterns all the way through. It seems that in order to save oneself from the dissapointment of making an error, taking the time to diligently review the pattern makes for good practice when it comes to having piece of mind. I do this all the time because like you and others, I understand the frustration one faces in the middle of a project, only to have it frogged and restarted. Thanks again and welcome.

Mexican woman arrested in drug seizure in Nogales
NOGALES, Ariz. � Federal authorities say a Mexican woman has been arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle black tar heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine into southern Arizona.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Nogales Port took 34-year-old Reyna Gisela Ramirez-Hernandez into custody Friday.
She's from Hermosillo, Sonora.
CBP officials say her van was referred for additional inspection and a CBP narcotics detection canine alerted to the presence of drugs within the vehicle's firewall-dash area.
Authorities say about $233,000 worth of black tar heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine were discovered.
The drugs and vehicle were seized and Ramirez-Hernandez was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.

Madison Avenue feels recessionary pinch
Fabled Madison Avenue in New York City, with some the priciest stores in the world, is now riddled with retail vacancies, real estate brokers said.
This is as bad as I've ever seen it, said broker Alan Victor, an executive vice president of the Lansco Corporation, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
Gene Spiegelman at Cushman & Wakefield said the 13 percent of the posh retail district was available for rent or subletting arrangements.
Beyond the 13 percent, some retailers would say,
if you get me a good sublease, I'll take it and run, said broker F. William Judson, chairman of the Madison Avenue Business Improvement District.
Luxury retail led declines among retailers in 2008, falling 7.5 percent, the Times said.
Among the stores showing declines, sales fell 31.2 percent at Neiman Marcus's specialty division during the holiday season. Sales at Tiffany dropped 24 percent at stores open for at least a year, the company said.
If you're in New York, and you've got the financial services industry in a depression, how can you possibly do well in high-level goods? asked Howard Davidowitz, chairman of retail consulting and investment banking firm Davidowitz & Associates.

new to GvG, and PvP in general, so i've been watching a few matches on observe mode, and what i've seen has brought up a few questions.
1) When observing a match, what do you look for? i've mostly been watching monks and warriors, as these 2 classes take up most of a team, and therefore are key to any team build. i've seen how some monks weapon swap and move, and this has helped me, but watching warriors hasn't given me any tips for that class. what should i be watching for? For midline players, what is the best clue that i'm watching a good Me, R, or Ele?
2) How are the observe matches selected? is it just the most recent GvG games or is there another factor?
3) Positioning. all other things equal, will a team that works for better position always come out ahead? Should frontliners charge into the backline, or do you want to harass their midline to improve your position?
4) What is more important, controlling the flag stand or pushing into the opposing base, or do they both go hand in hand? (from what i've seen, the team that controls the stand can always push into the base. am i overlooking something?)
5) Have splits fallen out of favor, or is that why a few teams run 3 monks? i haven't watched a split team in an observe match yet, so i'm wondering if this has just become impractical...
thanks for any insight you can give.
