As televisions get more and more high-tech, hyper-connected, and computer-ish, are television manufacturers forgetting what it is that makes people want to watch TV in the first place?
"Maybe I'm old school but I think TV is all about relaxing after a busy day," writes Gabe Gagliano of Tech of the Hub. "Somehow, TV companies are attempting to turn the TV into this futuristic control panel that's designed for galactic and social domination."
"I understand that from a business point of view that the TV business has become a low margin affair," Gabe continues. "Adding additional features to differentiate a set is one way to command higher prices and hopefully higher margins. Smart TVs and 3D failed to do this and are now being included in many models. The looming spectre of an Apple HDTV has forced the preemptive launch of an entire array of new features in this year's TVs. With manufacturers bundling tons of features, it feels like a "let's throw spaghetti against the wall and see what sticks" strategy."
This, he argues, is problematic for the television industry. Lots of incremental improvements but no game-changers, and a television market that seems more interested in mimicking the success of apps in the mobile industry than in producing really compelling television sets, is not a great situation to be in.
Will this provide Apple with exactly the opportunity it needs to get into the television market in 2012?
Possibly. Of course, anything Apple TV related is just idle speculation at this point, but with television manufacturers racing around trying to find the missing piece, Apple certainly does have an opening to make a splash.
That being said, I'm skeptical. The leap forward in phone tech that Apple made with the iPhone doesn't seem to exist in television technology. Apple helped propel mobile computing into the future, but honestly how much can the television really evolve? Better picture, wider aspect ratio, thinner dimensions, more energy efficient – none of these are to the television what a high-quality touch screen mini-computer was to the phone business.
What do you think? Can Apple revolutionize television the way it revolutionized mobile tech? Do apps have a future in the evolution of the TV set?

Experts expect that cyber attacks from hostile nations and rogue actors will represent one of the most dangerous threats to Canada and the United States in the coming decades.

Terror and North America: The Causes and Directions of Cross-Border Extremist Activity
September 19, 2012 // 2:00pm — 4:00pm
Canada Institute
Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, many American policymakers have grown increasingly concerned about terrorists or terrorist materials being smuggled into the United States from Canada. The myth that the 9/11 hijackers arrived in the United States through Canada contributed to the passage of laws that have increased the "thickness" of the border and hindered trade in the name of collective security. Do these rules safeguard against the true vectors of North American extremism? The Canada Institute's "Terror and North America: The Causes and Directions of Cross-Border Extremist Activity" will examine how and why extremists travel between Canada and the United States, what effect these crossings have on our national security, and what possible policy solutions exist to better police the border.

Chateauneuf du Pape "Barbe Rac" Grande Cuvee M. Chapoutier Trocken Frankreich Rhône /Td Châteauneuf-du-Pape M. Chapoutier 2004
Winemaker's Notes:
Grape variety 100% black grenache. Soil slopes on very old schists from the Palaezoic era. Harvesting the harvest is made by hand on very ripe fruits. Matching food with wines It can work as an aperitive. Blue cheese. chocolate desserts, cakes, dried fruits dessert, caramel, coffee. Vinification The harvest is destemmed,crushed. Very long maceration,adding pure alcohol to made sure all the aromas and tannins will be extracted. Maturing The aging in oak lasts from 18 to 36 month, depending on the years.A part in casks, a part in tuns. Tasting Colour : Deep garnet to acacia depending on the age. Noze : aromas of dried fruits, red fruits, and cocoa, roasted coffee appearing with the years. Mouth : very powerfull, long lenght in mouth, the fruits and the chocolate are the majour aromas of this very long ageing wine.
The name CHAPOUTIER is present in the Rhône Valley since 1808. In 1879, the distant ancestor Polydor CHAPOUTIER was the first to begin to buy vines, thus moving from the status of wine-grower of an estate to that of a viticulturist, a wine producer and a businessman. The pioneering spirit was already present in the family.
Member Reviews for Chateauneuf du Pape "Barbe Rac" Grande Cuvee M. Chapoutier Trocken Frankreich Rhône /Td Châteauneuf-du-Pape M. ChapoutierAdd your review
A combination of subtle oak and a smidge of graphite immediately had us in the mind of pencil shavings (spice & mineral), though this wasn't as pronounced or as clearly defined as in other wines we've had. This, and a hint of caramel-vanilla sweetness, blew off after a little bit of decanting to reveal a ripe bunch of blackberry and cranberry underneath. Juicy, but far from jammy, the cranberry sauce and raspberry evident on the tip of the tongue died off, leaving the mid-palate a little bare for my liking, before ending with very nice, structured tannins. A great lingering finish and a solid bottle of wine. Could probably stand to age for a couple of years yet. After the initial tasting, I tried it again the following day and enjoyed it much more for its mid-weight, easy-drinking nature. I quickly finished off the bottle (for shame) and was left with a bit of a dilemma with regards to my rating. Ordinarily I would have tucked it into a lower category than I did, however my repeat trial and happy sipping made me rethink. The 2004 is a great value from a major Rhone producer, and is one of the more understated and elegant Grenache wines I've tried in this price range.

94 rating by Wine Enthusiast
95 rating by Wine Advocate
96 rating by Wine Spectator
Ruby-red. Vibrant floral and mineral-accented red fruit aromas emphasize raspberry and redcurrant. Impressively pure and fresh with a nervy quality to the red berry flavors and a deep smoky espresso note on the back end. This grew sweeter with air the red berry flavors deepening but losing none of their precision or energy. Stephen Tanzers IWC.
All of the single vineyard Ermitages turned out as good as I had hoped possibly even better. In short they are among the strongest wines one could hope for in this vintage. The 2004 Ermitage Le Pavillon is outstanding but certainly not one of the most compelling wines Michel Chapoutier has made. It is dense dark ruby/purple and seems more austere and backward than the Le Meal but I still think these are 15- to 20-year wines as opposed to the normal 50+ that the top vintages of these single vineyard Ermitages produce. Dense with black currant fruit intermixed with licorice sweet blackberries and white chocolate this is an elegant mid-weight Pavillon that should be drinking well in about 5-6 years and last 15-20. -Robert Parker Robert Parkers Wine Advocate.
Superdichte Konzentration in der Nase und am Gaumen. Gewürznoten von Anis, Kardamon und Fenchelsamen untermalen die opulente Frucht von Birne, reifen Pfirsichen und Feigen. Ein unglaublich langer Abgang und ein Schmelz wie Butter sind ein würdiges Finale dieses Top-Hermitage.

|Yellow peppers
|2 Large, quartered, cored and seeded
|1 Large, sliced lengthways
|2 Large, sliced lengthways
|Olive oil
|90 Milliliter (6 Tablespoon)
|Red onion
|1 Large, thinly sliced
|3 Ounce (75 Grams Or 1/2 Cup)
|Tomato puree
|15 Milliliter (1 Tablespoon)
|Red wine vinegar

1. Place the prepared red and yellow peppers skin side up under a hot grill and cook until the skins are blackened. Transfer to a bowl and cover with a plate. Leave to cool.
2. Arrange the aubergine and courgette slices on separate baking sheets. Brush them with a little oil and cook under the grill, turning occasionally, until tender and golden.
3. Heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan, and add the sliced onion, raisins, tomato puree and red wine vinegar. Cook gently until soft and syrupy. Leave to cool in the frying pan.
4. Line a 1.75 litre / 3 pint / 7 1/2 cup terrine with clear film, (it helps to lightly oil the terrine first) leaving a little hanging over the sides.
5. Pour half the tomato juice into a saucepan, and sprinkle with the gelatine. Dissolve gently over a low heat, stirring.
6. Place a layer of red peppers in the bottom of the terrine, and pour in enough of the tomato juice with gelatine to cover. Continue layering the aubergine, courgettes, yellow peppers and onion mixture, finishing with another layer of red peppers. Pour tomato juice over each layer of vegetables.
7. Add the remaining tomato juice to any left in the pan, and pour into the terrine. Give it a sharp tap, to disperse the juice. Cover the terrine and chill until set.
8. To make the dressing, whisk together the oil and vinegar, and season. Turn out the terrine and remove the clear film. Serve in thick slices, drizzled with dressing. Garnish with basil leaves.

In this issue, Shotguns Editor Nick Sisley profiles the best of the best in scatter-guns. There's no shortage of fine new models to consider. The problem for many might be that with so many choices, how does a sporting enthusiast choose the best clays buster from the plethora of offerings?
Sisley has unearthed many models that offer the shooter unmatched options to personally fit the gun to themselves. Shims that go between the buttstock and receiver can let the shooter achieve their proper cast and comb height dimensions. Ditto for spacers that can be added or removed from between the stock and butt pad to fine tune the preferred length of pull. Triggers that can be adjusted back and forth also help you achieve a perfect grip-to-trigger length.
You'll also want to consider inner bore diameters, enlarged, back-bored tubes lessening felt recoil while also typically throwing more even patterns, as can models that come from the factory with elongated forcing cones. The same applies to choosing a model that comes equipped with a good assortment of high-performance screw-in choke tubes. The key to consider here is that the more fine tuned and adjustable the model is right out of the box, the less you'll have to spend on making it a better shooter for you.

Too much internal competition, same products in different groups. Do not work on process, believe in fulfilling customer terms and conditions. Field force is unsatisfied which results in some wrong doings.

Upgrade salary packages of field force and there is no match of Bosch in industry.

Chris Denorfia is tearing up Triple A pitching with a .350+ batting average. He was impressive in spring training and won praise from GM Wayne Krivsky. Yet with the addition of Brandon Phillips, playing time is hard to get despite Ryan Freel playing centerfield. And with Junior soon to come back, you can pretty much expect Denorfia not to be called up anytime soon.
So isn't it about time for the club to realize they can win without Junior and be better off with Freel and Denorfia in centerfield defensively? And don't be surprise by the starting rotation. Eric Milton and Dave Williams are who they are. Paul Wilson is on the comeback but his performances doesn't really excite me. Right now you have a rotation of Arroyo, Claussen, Harang and Ramirez. This team could use another starter.
But to keep Denorfia down at Louisville with nothing to prove is wasting the talents of a young ballplayer.

63 year old man | Dana Point, CA, USA | Seeking women 44-54 within 50 miles
Active within 24 hours
Life can be a great journey - enjoy the ride!
I am an adventurer in life and believe that life must be embraced and the road traveled with others who have the spirit of adventure within them. I live a remarkable life and seek to make a difference in the world in my business life and my personal and community life. I live on a small ranch in the country and enjoy my dogs and horses and friends - riding, sailing , diving and exploring far distant places are a passion and abundant interest. My for profit and non profit businesses help companies and people improve and grow and bring much satisfaction as well as great income to fuel my endeavors. I love meeting new people and growing friendships and would like to date someone who feels the same way. I have a high degree of faith and personal integrity and demand the same from those I trust. I stay active and fit and am constantly seeking to learn and grow through both academics and experiences. People tend to trust and depend on my leadership and I seek opportunities to lead and guide others to seek and grow to their true potential. I lead an active life yet appreciate times of solitude and refreshment and reflection - conversation and intimacy come to me easily and I love to spend a quiet evening with friends and loved ones and talk, hang out and cozy up. I am a native Texan and a bit proud of that heritage -makes me a bit outspoken but also honest. Music tastes run to jazz, classic rock, and some C W. Movie tastes is family through intellectual - but not vampires, horriffic slayings, graphic sexuality and that silly rot. Lookin for aa new good friend and maybe a possible companion on the journey. I Like a person who can be a friend, companion and share intimacy openly. Someone who has a zest for adventure (in all aspects of life), loves the outdoors and moving about. Must love animals and good food and connecting and sharing thoughts and emotions in all forms. Someone who likes to dress up sometimes and look their best and also be casual,barefoot and rumpled a bit sans makeup. Its great to be well read, thoughtful and have a career behind, in front or mid way so there is lots to talk about and share ideas over. I like a woman who is her own person, confident in her space and straightforward in her dealings. Someone who is attractive yet not affected by it and someone who is intellectual yet not prideful about that. Someone who knows how to be intimate but not wierd, no addictions or or baggage and someone looking for another that values them, holds them precious and connects with that intangible "ZING!

Principal process engineers are responsible for analyzing process technologies and proposal support for engineering activities for their organization. These individuals are organized and have strong analytical skills to plan and implement different principal processes for engineering services or creation of products. They participate in the development of strict schedules, guidelines, and budgets for their departments. They work with other engineers to find ways to improve processes and find innovative solutions for determining priorities.Read More...
Some of their main functions include creating diagrams and processing simulations to verify the feasibility of the projects. They use a personal computer loaded with office and engineering software to modify process flow and block diagrams and adjust variables that can be scaled in the future. Principal process engineers review and approve data sheets to be implemented during the principal process. They actively participate in engineering training sessions to provide expert knowledge in principal processes and act as a mentor to junior engineers. They oversee correct completion of control schemes and approve engineering calculations in model scaled systems. These individuals work in a fast-paced environment and use their advanced multitasking skills to participate in several projects at once. They write and develop engineering documentation for future reference. Principal process engineers follow strict engineering codes to prevent incidents when completing engineering tasks. They report their progress to the principal process manager in their company. They are the main point of contact for vendors, engineering experts, and clients.
A bachelor's of engineering in processes or a related field is required for this job. Previous years of work experience in an engineering capacity can be helpful. Industry and leadership certifications are a plus.

Many Principal Process Engineers move into a Senior Principal Process Engineer role, which does not lead to a big boost in pay. Senior Principal Process Engineers on average bring in a similar salary to Principal Process Engineers. Many Principal Process Engineers go on to become Chemical Engineers or Principal Process Development Engineers despite the fact that median compensation in those roles is reportedly $46K lower and $11K lower, respectively.
Survey results imply that Principal Process Engineers put a diverse skill set to use. Most notably, skills in Chemical Process Engineering, Project Management, Engineering Design, and Process Improvement are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that pay less than market rate include Manufacturing Process Engineering, Process Improvement, and Engineering Design. Those educated in Chemical Process Engineering tend to be well versed in Engineering Design.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Principal Process Engineers do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. Although employees with less than five years' experience earn around $94K on average, the five-to-10 year group has a much higher, six-figure median of $103K. Principal Process Engineers with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $120K. Individuals who report more than two decades of experience seem to make only slightly more than folks in the 10-to-20 year range; the more senior group sees median earnings in the comparatively modest ballpark of $130K.

23 year old woman | Hollywood, FL, USA | Seeking women 21-30 within 30 miles
The Only Constant in Life is Change.
Are you as tired of reading the same profile just attached to a different face?! Know what I mean? Everyone seems to say the same thing and it all ends up sounding cliche. So let me take a different approach and just be real and honest. If you like me, you like me. If not, thanks for looking anyways. So here it goes........I am 21, separated, 5' 2", curvy (and when I say curvy I do not mean fat, I mean curves in all the right places), look like my pictures as they are recent, a student and bar tender, daughter, sister, peaceful, loving, caring (sometimes too much as anyone does), intelligent, supportive, happy, positive, really cool (and sometimes kinky) chick. Wow, enough descriptive words for you?! The deeper stuff like honesty, humbleness, and empathy will have to be experienced. Anyone can say that, but one has to experience it to 'know' it. What I want in a partner?...........at least the same as above if not more. I am worth it. I feel that two people should be equals. With being equals comes communication. I believe in open, honest communication even when it hurts. If two people in a relationship can not communicate honestly and openly, then shit builds up. I see my ideal relationship not only with the foundation of the open communication, but with love, acceptance, support and to be the others best friend. This is what I am capable of and would expect back in return. Respect for each other is soooooo important for trust. I have learned this the hard way as many others. No need to dwell on it, just wanted to state it and get it out there. I am capable of doing all of this and only seek to have it given in return. I am attracted to a wide range of women, but of course like everyone else have my preferences. My 'dream' girl would be brunette or redhead, be covered in tattoos, have piercings, and be a true curvy gal like myself. She would have a laid back yet fun personality and love to blaze and love as much as I do. ;) I think that is it...if you want to know more then contact me.

'Smokin' Aces' Is a Thriller Full Of Cheap Tricks
Gore Trumps Drama; 'Seraphim Falls' Runs Dry in a Vivid West
When someone says, in "Smokin' Aces," that a Las Vegas mob boss wants a snitch's heart, it is not a figure of speech. That heart, beating in the chest of a sleazy magician named Buddy "Aces" Israel, figures heavily in an otherwise heartless and ultimately brainless action thriller. But calling Joe Carnahan's movie heartless implies that this auteur of affectless anarchy might have meant to invest it with detectable human feelings, and failed. Better to call it heart-free, and acknowledge the wisdom of Mr. Carnahan's self-promoting, semiliterate Web site, in which he says: "Don't let those douchebag critics scare you off. I promise, on the souls of my ancestors, you will come out of that movie with at least one scene, that you'll never forget."
Possibly more than one. The splatter of mutual snuffery in an elevator. The grisly ventriloquism of a killer manipulating his dead victim's face. A monstrous child gone off his Ritalin. The souls of the filmmaker's ancestors may be safer than our own, for "Smokin' Aces" is a vision, nightmarish but far from unthinkable, of a movie genre in which drama and character -- fuhgetabout character development -- have been banished by extravagant freakery, cheerful degeneracy, mind-numbing logorrhea, lip-jerk profanity and serial spasms of murderous violence, all framed in the sort of striking, hollow images pioneered by fashion photography and music videos.
Mr. Carnahan came to prominence four years ago with a darkly efficient little cop thriller called "Narc." To give him his due on "Smokin' Aces" (the first word of the title is a gerund), he applies lavish amounts of manic energy and perverse humor to an outwardly simple premise -- all sorts of unpleasant people want to kill Buddy Israel before the FBI whisks him away to protective custody. The plot comes equipped with some intricate twists, but they aren't really dramatized. Rather, they're discussed and simultaneously illustrated, in fragmentary music-video style -- first to let us know what we're going to see, and, at the finish, to explain what we've seen.
This technique could suggest another failure if Joe Carnahan were actually interested in being a dramatist, but the evidence of our eyes and besieged ears says otherwise. He's a piler-onner. Just as his Web site contends, he creates discrete -- though hardly discreet -- scenes for maximum impact, then piles them on to build a movie. His borrowings start most obviously with Quentin Tarantino, and then a string of black British gangster comedy-dramas, but without the Brits' sharp wit and polished performances. Not that his performers couldn't deliver wit or polish if asked to: the cast includes Ray Liotta, Alicia Keys, Peter Berg, Ben Affleck, Jeremy Piven, Andy Garcia, the rapper Common and Ryan Reynolds. Only Mr. Reynolds, as an FBI agent named Messner, gets to play a character with an extra dimension. It isn't heart, but Messner does bring a rationalist's sensibility to the hopeless task of comprehending the chaos that surrounds him.
'Seraphim Falls'
For a substantial chunk of its running time, "Seraphim Falls" is a model, albeit a bloody one, of what filmmakers can do with modest resources. The setting is classic Western spectacular -- heavy snows in high-altitude mountain forests. (The excellent cinematographer, John Toll, shot this part of the story near Taos, New Mexico, at elevations of 13,000 to 14,000 feet.) And the plot is classic revenge drama, stripped to its essentials: Gideon, a desperate fugitive played impressively by Pierce Brosnan, is being pursued by the pitiless Carver (Liam Neeson, stone-faced), plus an ad hoc posse of Carver's hired hands. Before long, though, things take a turn from simplicity to sententiousness, then to surreal silliness, and finally to a mano-à-mano contest, on a parched desert floor, over which man gets the best close-ups.
The film is a debut feature by David Von Ancken, who directed from a script that he wrote with Abby Everett Jaques. (Mr. Von Ancken's first claim to fame was "Bullet in the Brain," a poetic, eerily elegiac short that streamed as original content on a video Web site.) The central narrative device of this film is a clever one -- more than clever, it's an interesting investigation of moral ambiguity -- but not enough to sustain a whole story. At the same time, there's a too-muchness of brutality, though I've never seen pain and suffering portrayed more convincingly than when Gideon uses a Bowie knife to remove a bullet from his arm and cauterize the wound. You're almost grateful for the silliness when Anjelica Huston shows up as a snake-oil peddler whose nostrum, according to the sign on the side of her wagon, "cleanses the blood" and "exonerates the bowels."
'Catch and Release'
Susannah Grant, who wrote "Erin Brockovitch," has directed as well as written her first feature, "Catch and Release." This romantic comedy stars Jennifer Garner as Gray Wheeler, a woman struggling to recover from the sudden death of Grady, her fiancé. The setting is a Rocky Mountain high (Boulder and its environs) and the title refers both to fly-fishing, one of Grady's passions, and to Gray's predicament -- how to free herself from her love, which must remain unrequited, for a man about whom, Gray discovers, she knew little. But the drama is cluttered with not-so-comic housemates, played blandly by Kevin Smith and Sam Jaeger, and the film suffers from a style that settles for pleasant or touching at the cost of spontaneous or impassioned. Too bad, because Ms. Garner is a genuinely pleasing presence. So is Timothy Olyphant as Fritz, an interesting option who's there for the taking. Juliette Lewis plays a New Age floozy, and the film contains a running commercial for Celestial Seasonings teas.
* * *
DVD TIP: Guy Ritchie turned "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" (1998) into a violent roundelay that throbs with scary energy, startling characters (almost all male) and marvelous, scabrous language. The marginally fathomable plot involves an epic, crooked card game, a hunt for cannabis and large amounts of cash that keep changing hands. The movie isn't nice, but it certainly is nasty fun.

To the editor:
It is time for the advocates of ethanol as an additive to gasoline, especially ethanol made from corn, to stand up and admit the unintended consequences of this production. Many scientists now agree that when ethanol is added to gasoline and used in vehicles with internal combustion engines it creates a number of new driveability problems. Vehicles that use ethanol mixed with gasoline also get decreased gas milage. But the biggest unintended consequence of ethanol production happens when corn is used to make ethanol. Corn is a key food not only in this country, where it is used to produce sugar, feed people and feed animals, but all around the world where many people depend on it as a major source of food. When the price of corn dramatically increases this increases the price of many other foods all around the world especially in the poorest countries.
It is unacceptable for this country which has been for several generations the major source of food for many nations around the world to turn its back on those nations to turn food into fuel especially when there so many other sources of fuel. If ethanol was improved and determined to be the best replacement for gasoline then it could be made from many materials, from plant waste to even grass, and that grass could be grown on marginal land rather than the best farm land.
There are many reasons for the current sharp increase in food prices in this country and around the world and while we can't control some of those we can control the increasing use of America's best farmland to grow fuel corn rather than food corn. It's time for another change.

text: The Tusker wiki last edited by Darkside_of_the_Sun on 09/02/13 06:07AM View full history History Horace Lafeaugh originally had the ability to extend his unbreakable tusks to extreme lengths. When he displayed his ability to the Legion of Super-Heroes in hopes of joining, he was rejected on the grounds that his power was impractical. Years later, Horace went on a crime spree with his girlfriend, fellow reject Eyeful Ethel. They were defeated by the Legion of Substitute-Heroes.Over time, Horace's powers evolved. No longer having just unbreakable tusk, he now had an unbreakable skeleton and enhanced durability, becoming a gray-skinned behemoth. Horace and Ethel later joined the Justice League of Earth, a group of Earth-born Legion rejects obsessed with spreading lies about Superman's origin and discrediting the Legion. However, the League was brought down by the combined might of Superman, the Legion, and the Subs. Horace and Ethel were sent to Takron-Galtos.A short while later, Superboy-Prime freed the inmates of the prison planet, and formed a new version of the Legion of Super-Villains, including the Fatal Five, the Justice League, and just about every other enemy the Legion ever faced. Horace and the Justice League attacked the United Planets during the chaos the L.S.V. started in Metropolis. The League was going to kill the President of Earth, "for crimes against humanity", when Horace had his synapses fried by Lightning Lad.

Thoughts from the EPS Windows Server Performance Team
Useful Microsoft Blogs
Platforms Blogs
One of the most common calls that we get relates to the warning dialogs, the "gold bar" message or even the infamous "Red X" image being displayed where the ActiveX control should be loaded. In some instances, the problem is caused by a failure of the control itself. However, the more common cause is due to the way that the Internet Explorer Zone security settings are configured that prevents the control from loading (or disabling some of its features). Below are the ActiveX failure messages that we've all seen:
To resolve these zone issues, the ActiveX control needs to comply with several security measures that are in place. One such method of resolving the issue is code signing the ActiveX control. This is done with a certificate that is specifically created for code signing. Before signing, the ActiveX control should be packaged into a .CAB file that contains not only the binary file of the control but also the .INF file used to install the control. For more information on code signing, please see the Introduction to Code Signing Article on MSDN and also Richard Lewis' blog post on Application Security.
Within Internet Explorer, there are five different Security Zones that can be accessed within Internet Options. However, within the UI, there are only four zones visible. These four zones are:
The fifth security zone is the Local Machine zone. This zone is an implicit zone that exists on the local computer. You cannot configure the security settings for this zone via the Internet Explorer options or the Security Zones property sheet. If you have administrator privileges, you can modify the security settings for the Local Machine zone by modifying the registry.
Each of these security zones uses a default template which can be viewed by highlighting the zone icon in the list as shown above. The templates are designed to provide the best security possible when connecting to web sites. The security settings for these zones can be customized by selecting a zone and then clicking on the "Custom Level ..." button. Although the templates are in place, there are no sites added by default to any of the zones shown above. Within each of the templates there are individual security settings that pertain to ActiveX controls. The table below shows the details for the ActiveX controls and plug-ins security settings. Please note that some of these settings are specific to Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later operating systems.
As you can see, the more restrictive the nature of the zone the more restrictive the settings for the ActiveX controls. This is to protect the user. However if the ActiveX control is unsigned and the page is loaded in the Internet zone, by default the control will not run (per the table above). ActiveX controls are very powerful and versatile. However, they may also be extremely insecure. Because an ActiveX control is a COM object it can do anything that the user can do from that computer. Once a user downloads an ActiveX control, that control may be vulnerable to attack because any web application on the Internet can repurpose it and use the control for its own ends. However, there are measures that can be taken when writing ActiveX controls to guard against this. The following should be considered when creating an ActiveX control:
And that brings us to the end of this post on ActiveX and Security. In our three-part series we have gone over the basics of ActiveX, covered the management of ActiveX controls within Internet Explorer and covered the Security aspects of ActiveX within the Internet Explorer environment. I hope you have found this information useful.

Only 66,000 pieces were produced of the 1913-S and apparently a substantial percentage of that mintage was dropped into circulation as most of the coins known today are in VF to Choice AU condition. Lower-end Uncirculated coins are challenging in the absolute sense with only 100 or so pieces extant today in the MS60-62 grade range. A mere 24 coins have been certified in MS63, and this slight number gives one a sense of the rarity of the 1913-S in even higher grades. Such pieces are rarely seen, and when they available they are highlight coins in whatever auction in which they are offered.
The present specimen was formerly one of two NGC coins graded MS67 maintained in the current population reports and which was last sold by Heritage to John Kutasi via the above-mentioned private sale for $200,000 in April 2005. It is now the sole MS66 example graded by PCGS. It is also important to note that this date was conspicuously absent in Gem grades from other notable ten dollar Indian collections such as Price, Duckor, and Kruthoffer, which had MS63 examples of this key date.
The surfaces show a lovely overlay of light orange-gold color with a mixture of lilac on the reverse. Each side is evenly covered with matte-like granularity with an overlay of soft, frosted mint luster. The only mark of note is a short, shallow check-mark near the rim at 7 o'clock on the obverse.
Once again quoting from the Garrett-Guth reference: "Any Indian Head eagle collection would be truly defined by the presence of both a 1913-S and a 1911-D issue." This is a colossal ten dollar Indian whose condition would be noteworthy even if it were dated 1932. The fact it is one of the rarest and most famous issues of this popular series will make this a coin that will be remembered for many years to come.
Used as the plate coin in The Coinage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens as Illustrated by the Phillip Morse Collection.

Would it be safe to install a Geforce 6200?
I bought my pc back in 2003. It is an HP computer and I have a Geforce FX 5200 running smooth in it. However I have noticed that I could use a little bit more speed when rendering games. I don't know much about power supplies but I know I have a 200 watt one and I found out the specs but I cant say I understand any of it. So I am wondering if I could install this 6200 in my pc.
This is the powersupply that is in my pc
These are my general pc specs (i added the vid card after purchase)
Well hopefully someone here can help me. I really dont want to fry my power supply. Any help you can give me would be great. Thanks!

Hey ladies (and cooking gents too!)
What a better way to kick off our new group than with a healthy dessert recipe that we used over the recent holidays? Post yours below!!
This is one I got off www.foodnetwork.com (actually I saw the episode it aired on and looked it up later.)
Kiwi Mango Tartlets by Ellie Krieger
- 1 1/2 cups nonfat lemon flavored yogurt
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup whole-grain pastry flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 mango, finely diced
- 3 kiwi fruits, peeled, quartered and sliced
- 24 small mint leaves
- 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
Place the yogurt in a strainer lined with a paper towel. Put the strainer over a bowl and place in the refrigerator to drain and thicken for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours.
In a medium bowl, beat the oil, sugar and egg until creamy. In a separate bowl whisk together the whole-grain pastry flour and the all-purpose flour. Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg/oil mixture, stirring, until they are combined and a soft dough is formed. Roll the dough into a ball and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a mini muffin tin or tartlet pan with cooking spray.
Roll the pastry dough into a 1/8-inch thick sheet. With a biscuit cutter or small glass make 24 rounds, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Place rounds in the pan and bake for 15 minutes, or until crisp. Remove tartlets from oven and set aside to cool completely. You can make the shells up to 3 days in advance and store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Transfer the drained yogurt from the strainer to a small bowl. Discard the liquid. Fill each tartlet with 1 teaspoon of thickened lemon yogurt. Place about 2 teaspoons of diced mango and 2 slices of kiwi and a mint leaf on top of each tartlet. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately after filling.

Calories 215; Total Fat 8 g; (Sat Fat 0.5 g, Mono Fat 4 g, Poly Fat 2 g) ; Protein 4 g; Carb 31g; Fiber 2 g; Cholesterol 30 mg; Sodium 25 mg
Excellent source of: Thiamin, Vitamin C,
Good source of: Vitamin A, Vitamin K
MY NOTES: I have subsituted any and all fruits on this - last time I made it I used blue and blackberries , with kiwi... Whatever fresh fruit is in season. Also, I sometimes subsitute "Altern/Splenda" for the sugar , as the dough doesn't need to really rise, so the consistency doesn't change much. Also, I left off the mint as it is purely decoration and I thought it was pretty enough without it. It was a huge hit and DF actually ate dessert!!


text: Fluorescent Nail Lacquer ($12.50 for 0.40 fl. oz.) is described as a "lime micro-glitter in sheer lime." It's a mix of gold and chartreuse-hued sparkle and shimmer suspended in a sheer, green-ish base color. Two coats, it was still sheer, and three coats, it was semi-sheer (see ring finger). The consistency of this shade felt a little watery, and the shimmer and sparkle didn't spread as evenly across the nail. This one had more of a duochrome effect, which was really noticeable over black (I applied one coat over one coat of black in the swatches). Butter London Dosh (P, $15.00) is much darker and opaque. NYX Lime (P, $4.00) is darker, brighter, less yellow. See comparison swatches.

Pellet Making Machine Videos and Information
A pellet making machine is a definition used by some to describe either a pellet mill or pellet press. The use of a pellet making machine can take many forms, from producing animal feed pellets to wood fuel pellets and even cooking pellets to be used in wood pellet grills.
Details On Using The Pelleting Machine
Each pellet making machine has different characteristics depending on what type of pellet they are producing and from what type of raw material. Particle size and material density impact on which machines are suitable and the energy required.
Why The Wood Pellet Machine Is Unique
A wood pellet machine has specific features which enable a wood pellet machine to produce wood pellets more efficiently. Wood is a high density biomass, it therefore requires more power to compress the wood into pellet form. Therefore wood pellet machines generally have more power or a lower gearing to increase torque to the pellet mill. Also to gelatinise wood requires more heat than many other biomass raw materials. In many cases dry steam is used to heat the raw material to the required temperatures, this again requires an additional source of energy.
The Process Of Pellet Making Explained
Pellet making is a skilled process, several variables and factors have to be controlled to produce an efficient process in producing quality pellets. Moisture control is a key feature of pellet making. To produce pellets, most raw materials require an average moisture percentage of between 10-15%. However the consistency of the batch in terms of moisture is also important. Poor consistency within the raw material will create poor consistency in pellet quality.
Making Wood Pellets Is A Skilled Process
Depending on the end use of the wood pellets, the raw material used must be chosen carefully. For example premium fuel pellets demand a specific quality of raw material to produce an ash content below 1%. This means the wood sourced must contain practically no bark, and be from a pine or spruce residue. As stated making wood pellets demands a greater amount of energy during production. Making wood pellets also puts a greater demand on the bearings of the machines and reduces the life of consumable parts such as the dies and rollers. However many other biomass materials can also be upgraded into pellets for multiple uses, such as fuel pellets. However there are issues with other biomass pellets in their burning characteristics.

A 44-year-old Dane County substitute teacher is accused of stealing and then throwing away a $5,700 wedding ring brought to school by a student, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
Hideki Yoshida, 44, of Madison was charged with felony theft in connection with the January incident at Netherwood Knoll Elementary School in Oregon. The girl told her mother that she brought the ring to class, dropped it between classes and saw the substitute teacher pick it up. Yoshida later said that he threw the ring away in the garbage.
Yoshida told police he is addicted to stealing things he doesn't need and then discarding them, the State Journal reports.

Rally Navigation Roadbook Creation

Joined: Dec 2007
Location: THE exact center of California/Bass lake/Yosemite
Oddometer: 6,951
arise Vestal thread!!
There seems to be another way to make roadbooks !!
I just received a GPS from Trippy
they would like me to beta test it here.
currently they have no maps for the USA but plan on releasing a version.
They do have the EU covered it seems including destinations and gas stations.
(its the official dakar support vehicle gps)
Assistance vehicules of Dakar 2011 will be fit with a Tripy GPS electronical Roadbook.
Tripy Roadmaster is a qualified GPS based navigation roadbook offering to the crews:
- the automatic display of the roadbook notes (including instantaneous km countdown),
- a Tripmaster function,
- a warning for overspeed or upcoming itinerary danger,
- a warning for quitting the itinerary and a navigation assistance help to rejoin it.
The navigation system warns the driver as soon as he quits the planned itinerary. In this instance, a compass arrow shows up and displays the straight line direction to follow, to reach the next WayPoint.
As soon as the track is rejoined, the roadbook resets and resumes at that point. Tripy RoadMaster, initially developed for motorbikers, offers an optimum passive safety and provides unequalled driving comfort
the neat thing about this gps is that you can create and print roadbooks complete with tulips with the gps and optional road tracer software.
Once winter sets in and I have more time I plan on using their road tracer software. Also you can import GPX tracks or create a path in google earth to import as well.
Thanks for the 2015 support:

10 Unusual Watches
Subscribe to our newsletter
Watches are meant to tell the time, but when you have a watch that is a little unusual then it can be a little harder to tell the time. It is just a matter of which watch you choose and how the time is decidedly displayed in these unusual watched that matters. If you want to make a statement then choosing an unusual watch that fits your personality will help you to do so. Jewelry makers and watch designers can come up with some wild ideas when it comes to watch designs.
1. Harry Winston
The Harry Winston watch allows you to see all the mechanics of the watch. The face plate is nonexistent, but you are able to see all the gears and the designer name very clearly on the front of the watch. There are no markers for numbers or actual numbers, so you have to guess at the time if someone was to ask you for it.
2. Cabestan Winch Tourbillion Vertica
This is a watch that can seem to be confusing to a person that will just walk by and glance at your wrist. It could even be a conversation starter, especially to someone that asking for the time.
3. Hironao Tsuboi
This Japanese designer has come up with one of the most unusual looking watches out there. It may look like a normal segmented bracelet to the passerby but in fact it is a watch. The numbers light up between the segments using LED technology.
4. Diesel DZ 9044
This watch doesn't look like a watch at all. The face is a blank plate. The time can be told on the side with the smallest time pieces. You better have really good eye sight to read this watch.
5. Charles Windlin
This timepiece is not only a watch, but it is a ring. It will display your calendar and the time all while being worn like your favorite ring.
6. Horological Machines No3
With the upside down automatic rotor movement, you will not have to turn your watch upside down to show it off. But, reading the time can be a bit difficult.
7. Ibiza Ride
This watch uses LED technology to display the time in rows. The first row of lights displays the hour, the second row of lights displays the minutes in 10s and the third row of lights displays the minutes in single minutes. There are different colors of lights for the time, date and pm mode.
8. Chapter One
This watch will not only tell you the time, but it will tell you the day and the phase of the moon with a dual rolling bar at the end of the timepiece.
9. TAG MONACO Twenty Four Concept Chronograph
This watch's design was inspired by the cars of the 24 Le Mans races. It looks like the hood of a racecar with its racing stripes down the center.
10. ODM Pixel Watch
This watch looks like a normal bracelet, but if you touch the face of it, it will light up to display the time. It comes in a variety of colors for you to choose from.

The Americanization of Benjamin Franklinby Gordon S Wood
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Central to America's idea of itself is the character of Benjamin Franklin. We all know him, or think we do: In recent works and in our inherited conventional wisdom, he remains fixed in place as a genial polymath and self-improver who was so very American that he is known by us all as the first American. The problem with this beloved notion of Franklin's quintessential Americanness, Gordon Wood shows us in this marvelous, revelatory book, is that it's simply not true. And it blinds us to the no less admirable or important but far more interesting man Franklin really was and leaves us powerless to make sense of the most crucial events of his life.
Indeed, thinking of Franklin as the last American would be less of a hindrance to understanding many crucial aspects of his life — his preoccupation with becoming a gentleman; his longtime loyalty to the Crown and burning ambition to be a player in the British Empire's power structure; the personal character of his conversion to revolutionary; his reasons for writing the Autobiography; his controversies with John and Samuel Adams and with Congress; his love of Europe and conflicted sense of national identity; the fact that his death was greeted by mass mourning in France and widely ignored in America. But Franklin did become the Revolution's necessary man, Wood shows, second behind George Washington. Why was his importance so denigrated in his own lifetime and his image so distorted ever since?
Ironically, Franklin's diplomacy in France, which was essential to American victory, was the cause of the suspicion that clouded his good name at home — and also the stage on which the "first American" persona made its debut. The consolidation of this mirage of Franklin would await the early nineteenth century, though, when the mask he created in his posthumously published autobiography proved to be the model the citizens of a striving young democracy needed. The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin is a landmark work, a magnificent fresh vision of Franklin's life and reputation, filled with profound insights into the Revolution and into the emergence of America's idea of itself.
"Eminent revolutionary historian Wood illuminates the life and times of perhaps our nation's most symbolic yet enigmatic forefather. Born of modest roots, Benjamin Franklin displayed from an early age a sharp mind and a literary gift, which served him as he went on to amass a small fortune, mostly as a printer, and to emerge as a civic leader. Wood, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for The Radicalism of the American Revolution, shows how Franklin's skills and charm enabled him to complete the remarkable transition from humble beginnings to gentlemanly status, occupying his later years with scientific experiments, philosophy and statesmanship. Wood also introduces us to Franklin the loyal British subject, who could scarcely conceive of a colonial government independent of the British, yet, in 1776, at the age of 70, came to play a key role in the Revolution. He secured the help of the French, who in turn helped ultimately to define Franklin as the 'symbolic American.' This is not a comprehensive biography. Instead, Wood's purpose is to supplant our common knowledge of Franklin as the iconic, folksy author of Poor Richard's Almanac with a different, richer portrait, a look at how a man 'not even destined to be an American' became, paradoxically, the 'symbol of America.' What emerges is a fascinating portrait of Franklin, not only as a forefather but as a man. Illus. Agent, Andrew Wylie. (May 24) Forecast: Has readers' curiosity about Franklin been sated by Edmund Morgan's recent brief study and Walter Isaacson's full-length bio, both bestsellers? Wood's reputation could still give this legs." Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Well written and researched, this book provides a fresh perspective on one of America's most distinguished figures." Library Journal
"A portrait of Ben Franklin in a decidedly contrarian — though careful — bit of revisionism....An illuminating companion to Walter Isaacson's Benjamin Franklin and other recent studies that cast the Founder in a new light." Kirkus Reviews
Wood scrutinizes the less typically-American traits possessed by Franklin — such as his longtime loyalty to the Crown — and why he still became one of the Revolution's necessary men.
From the most respected chronicler of the early days of the Republic—and winner of both the Pulitzer and Bancroft prizes—comes a landmark work that rescues Benjamin Franklin from a mythology that has blinded generations of Americans to the man he really was and makes sense of aspects of his life and career that would have otherwise remained mysterious. In place of the genial polymath, self-improver, and quintessential American, Gordon S. Wood reveals a figure much more ambiguous and complex—and much more interesting. Charting the passage of Franklin's life and reputation from relative popular indifference (his death, while the occasion for mass mourning in France, was widely ignored in America) to posthumous glory, The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin sheds invaluable light on the emergence of our country's idea of itself.
