38 year old woman | Dania Beach, FL, USA | Seeking men 36-55 within 75 miles of Hollywood, FL
Butterflies in the stomach, that chemistry......
.....Hello Please...if you do not have at least one pic, I'd rather you did not contact me. So strange trying to sum up one's life into little bits for a profile but here goes... It's a long profile - You may want to know what you are about to get into. LOL. So as not to waste your time this is what I seek please: A fit (sorry not attracted to the overweight) confident, intelligent, caring sensuous man who is NOT: grumpy, negative, judgemental, ignorant, homophobic, prejudicial, prudish, close-minded, drama-oriented. ....whew, that's a mouthful! PLEASE do not consider a baseball cap 'daily' wear! PLEASE be:- Clean, in shape, great breath and teeth, fit, cute. AT LEAST 5' 9" MINIMUM .....REALLY! (Not with that magical tape measure some of you have-lol), I like to wear high heels ;) Me: I'm that cool chick you just haven't yet met! One of the boys though definitely not manly. Don't take myself too seriously and can laugh at myself....hopefully you are a man who can laugh at himself and make others laugh- the first part a must, the second is a plus! Yes it rhymes, not intentional ;-) I enjoy rather diverse activities. From the sedate: Reading, yoga, cooking (I'm a foodie) traveling to the adrenaline rush of fast cars, boats and planes. I have no problem meeting men, but I am choosey and not into the bar scene. A girlfriend met a great guy on this site so figured I'd give it a try. A very social person....I enjoy being with friends. If you are anti-social or a loner, we are not suited as I have a large circle of friends. Though...My time alone or with that special person is also very important to me. I enjoy the simpler as well as the finer things in life, have style and character. Respect myself and body but I still enjoy indulging. My sense of humor, sex appeal and intellect ..... is a bit off the wall, am fun, drama-free.....seeking same. Exercise regularly, and am naturally slender but I am not a triathlete, etc. it's cool if you are but I am a cuddling couch potato at times. ;) AND...I'm not some model who is made up at all times, shallow, selfish or judgmental. There are days when I'm 'bummy'...hey, that's life! Please be cool with that. ..I am seeking that special 'connection!' ....The chemistry of a first meet, butterflies in your stomach, feeling you want to kiss this person so very much... ...... I am an uncommon woman seeking an uncommon man! .........Are you here? Ciao ;) Btw.... I prefer men with guts. So, if you think you're Mr. Right, send an email instead of a 'like' or a 'wink'. ;)

Food of the hotel is really nice but as they mentioned we served Veg. and jain food but they do not know the taste of the person visited their. Food is cooked in one manner only specially who is having jain food are gujaratis and taste of the food is not a tall matched with. Over all very bad experience.
Submitted by Nikhil Desai
Hotel Location is good and food served was very good with due hospitality. I went in off season, so the rooms were empty and because of large capacity to accommodate, it may not be possible for management to maintain all the rooms. So, my suggestion is to keep minimum 12 - 15 rooms near to reception in condition and provide to customers with minimum charges. This will give them opportunity to maintain as well as off season customer will get good accommodation at cheaper rates.

The Australian Monument to the Great Irish Famine (1845-1852) is located at the Hyde Park Barracks, on Macquarie Street, Sydney, Australia. The monument was inspired by the arrival in Australia of over 4,000 single young women, most of whom were teenagers. They arrived under a special emigration scheme designed to resettle destitute girls from the workhouses of Ireland during the Great Famine. The Great Irish Famine Commemoration Committee (GIFCC) have broadened their activities to commemorate all who left their homes seeking a new life in the colonies and States of Australia but these workhouse orphan girls, and the historical links back to Ireland, remain the focus of this project and only young women from the workhouses under Earl Grey's Orphans scheme appear in the database.
This website introduces you to the monument itself, to this particular emigration scheme which operated between 1848 & 1850, to the women themselves and the ships on which they travelled. It is designed to be an motivating and rewarding experience for anyone interested in Irish history and genealogy or the broader issues related to famine, displacement and immigration no matter where in the Irish 'diaspora' you may reside. The website was initially set up by Dr Trevor McClaughlin and we are grateful for him allowing us to use the information contained in his two volumes of Barefoot & Pregnant? Irish Famine orphans in Australia, Genealogical Society of Victoria, Melbourne, 1991 and 2001 and for the work he and Jennifer Bainbridge did on the first version of this website.

I think Phil Jackson would be great as an overseer of a franchise. It would be tough on the coach, having Jackson's shadow over you, but who better to learn from than the Zen Master himself? Considering how bad some of these NBA franchise are run, I think they should be backing up the Brinks truck for Phillip and should bring some weed with them. Sources told ESPN.com this week that Jackson is "itching" to go back to work after a long spell to recharge since leaving the Los Angeles Lakers' bench following the 2010-11 season. What has Jackson really intrigued, sources say, is the opportunity to oversee an organization in the patriarchal style of Pat Riley with the Miami Heat or in a role similar to that previously held by Larry Bird with the Indiana Pacers. But it remains to be seen if a team will give him that sort of chance, given that the 67-year-old Jackson is the most successful coach in league history with 11 championship rings and has never held a prominent NBA personnel job.

Gers held at Tannadice
Rangers missed the chance to close to within a point of Celtic after being held at Dundee United.
Last Updated: 13/12/08 2:47pm
Rangers missed the chance to close to within a point of Celtic after being held to an exciting 2-2 draw against Dundee United at Tannadice.
The visitors made a positive start and were rewarded when Steven Davis dummied Steven Whittaker's cross into the box allowing Kris Boyd to drill home the opening goal of the game.
Walter Smith's men dominated the remainder of the half and were unlucky not to extend that lead but were made to pay after the interval after conceding two quickfire goals.
Captain Lee Wilkie slid home Paul Dixon's deep left-wing cross at the back post and just four minutes later the home side were in front when Warren Feeney nodded home from another Dixon cross.
However, Rangers levelled matters on 76 minutes when substitute Nacho Novo picked out fellow substitute Kyle Lafferty who showed excellent composure by side-footing the ball home back across goal for a share of the spoils.
Third-placed United had lost only one of their previous 14 games, but Rangers took a grip on the game in the 11th minute when Boyd notched his 17th goal of the season.
Boyd controlled Whittaker's inside pass on the edge of the box after Garry Kenneth had been fooled by Davis' dummy, and fired a left-foot volley into the bottom corner.
Another opportunity
Boyd almost had another opportunity five minutes later when Pedro Mendes headed Lukasz Zaluska's short kick-out into his path but Dixon just got his foot to the ball.
The game continued in a disjointed manner, with Rangers effectively closing down United.
However, Allan McGregor saved the visitors in the 29th minute when he reacted brilliantly to push away Jon Daly's downward header after the striker met Craig Conway's corner unchallenged six yards out.
Rangers reassumed a solid look for the remainder of the half and threatened a second.
The counter-attacking Kenny Miller played the ball across goal when Boyd was better-placed for a cutback, and both players were later halted by disputed offside decisions after flighted through-balls by Davis and Mendes.
Miller came close after Wilkie lobbed his own keeper as he struggled to deal with a long ball.
Miller battled to win the ball in the goalmouth with Zaluska stranded, but the United defender recovered to scramble the ball to safety.
United came out after the break looking like a different side. Daly headed Conway's cross two yards wide before Wilkie levelled in the 50th minute.
The defender had gone forward for a free-kick in the centre-circle, which United took quickly and spread out to Dixon.
The left-back advanced to the by-line and sent over a superb cross beyond the far post, where Wilkie got in front of Sasa Papac to angle the ball into the top corner.
Iain Brines soon rejected a penalty claim when Mihael Kovacevic slid in on Miller just inside the box. The full-back got the ball but it was debatable whether he took too much of the man first.
Rangers found themselves behind in the 54th minute after failing to deal with another Dixon cross.
McGregor waited in vain for his team-mates to attack the ball inside the six-yard box, and the on-loan Cardiff striker nodded the ball down and into the net.
Feeney almost latched on to Wilkie's header moments later but McGregor came off the line this time to block. The Rangers keeper was soon beaten to another high ball but did enough to force Kenneth to head over.
Rangers were struggling to get back in the game but subs Nacho Novo and Lafferty combined for a 76th-minute equaliser.
The Spaniard drove forward and slipped the ball to the unmarked Lafferty in the left channel, and the Northern Ireland international calmly rolled the ball into the far corner.
Lafferty then turned well 25 yards out before curling a powerful shot that Zaluska pushed away from his bottom corner. Rangers continued to press but Boyd hit a free-kick into the wall and Mendes curled just wide from 20 yards with the outside of his boot.
Whittaker volleyed on to the roof of the net in injury-time as Rangers had to settle for a point.

A method and system for secure distribution and access to digital data, includes providing a plurality of system components; associating a plurality of unique identifiers with different components of the system; and controlling access by the system to the digital data based on a correspondence between the unique identifiers.
1. A method for secure distribution and access to digital data, comprising:
a) providing an encryption key set having an encryption key and a decryption key that can be divided into multiple parts, each part of which is associated with a component of a secure distribution system;
b) encrypting the digital data with the encryption key to produce encrypted digital data;
c) supplying the encrypted digital data along with a first part of the decryption key that is associated with the digital data to a playback device;
d) supplying a second part of the decryption key that is associated with the playback device to the playback device; and
e) combining the parts of the decryption keys in the playback device and using the combined decryption key to decrypt the encrypted digital data.
2. The method claimed in
3. A system for secure distribution and access to digital data, comprising:
a) a plurality of system components;
b) an encryption key set having an encryption key and a decryption key that can be divided into multiple parts, wherein a part of the decryption key is associated with each of the system components;
c) means for encrypting the digital data using the encryption key; and
d) means for receiving and combining the parts of the decryption key and decrypting the encrypted digital data.
4. The system claimed in
5. The system claimed in
6. The system claimed in
The present invention relates to systems for the mass production and distribution of data, with or without encryption, and its decryption and playback by specially enabled machines utilizing a digital medium. More particularly, the present invention relates to digital playback devices and storage media with embedded identifiers which provide control of copying and playback.
Digital data is extremely convenient and well-adapted to distribution and copying without loss of quality. These valuable features, however, are also a threat to those who own the digital data. In some businesses it is necessary to maintain strict control over the reproduction and playback of valuable data. For example, databases, imagery, music, and personal information are all highly valuable digital commodities to which the owners might wish to restrict access.
The distribution of digital media has long been subject to security concerns and the piracy of digital content is a significant problem. Software, audio, and video content are routinely stolen and illegally re-sold. While the information on these disks can be encrypted, the customized encryption and decryption of the data is generally impractical for economic reasons and the distribution of decryption keys to a mass market is generally impractical for logistical reasons.
Many encryption techniques are known in the art which address these issues to a limited extent. For example, encryption techniques for rendering digital information unreadable without first decrypting the information with the use of keys is well-known. Generally, techniques use either the same key to encrypt and decrypt or use one key to encrypt and a second to decrypt. It is possible to do this without the encrypter or decrypter knowing what the key of the other is. Regardless of the encryption technique, maintaining the security of the keys themselves is problematic as is their distribution.
It is useful to distribute digital data, such as audio, video, or digital films to a large number of recipients while maintaining strict control over the contents and access to the contents. Doing so reduces the economic losses to the owners of the data content. The difficulties in doing this can be categorized as media control, copy control, and playback control. Obviously, these issues are interrelated.
For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,745,568, issued Apr. 28, 1998 to O'Connor et al., entitled "Method of Securing CD-ROM Data for Retrieval by One Machine," discloses a method for securing CD-ROM data for retrieval by a specified computer system. The data is encrypted with a hardware identifier as an encryption key. This identifier is associated with playback hardware and is used by the hardware to decrypt the data for playback.
This technique has several drawbacks for data having a large distribution. If a common encryption key for all instances of the data is used, access cannot be restricted to a sub-set of the hardware. If unique encryption for each data instance is used, a separate encryption step must be carried out on the data for each hardware playback device (or group of hardware devices with a common identifier). This encryption is tedious and costly; moreover, the management of the hardware identifiers at the data encryption site (i.e. key management) is problematic and a security risk. Secondly, this technique does not prevent unauthorized copying or playback of the information. Hence, an unscrupulous owner of two playback devices with a common identifier might copy the data and play it back in both machines while only having paid for the data once.
Moreover, once compromised, the hardware key is open to future exploitation with future data storage devices. Only by physically changing the hardware identifier can security be re-established.
Ha et al. in U.S. Ser. No. 09/393,527, filed Sep. 10, 1999, describe a method for controlling the copying of data sets on a mass-produced medium (Programmable Read-Only Memory for Compact Discs, or CD-PROM) by the use of software and disc identifiers adapted to authenticate a transferred program in the computer to permit the program to be operated by the computer. This technique does not prevent copying, per se, but rather inhibits the subsequent installation of copied software on computers through the use of disk identifiers which cannot normally be copied from disk to disk.
Again, the use of this invention for an application requiring a wide distribution and strict control over copying, access, and playback has some difficulties. For very high value data, the provision of the software identifier presents a security risk. If the media and the data identifiers are obtained illegally, there is no further protection for the data. Although a copy may not be installed on a computer (as described in the patent) it may well be played back an unlimited number of times in an unauthorized venue. In some applications, this may not be a problem, but in others (for example if the data is provided for public access or viewing) this is a serious problem. Although specially created machines adapted to copying, bit by bit, one CD-PROM to another might circumvent the disk identifier by copying it from one disk to another, the result will be of poor quality and available industry tools will not support it.
Moreover, this technique provides no control over the playback equipment. It may be desirable to limit access to the data to a particular set of playback machines to further enhance security. Finally, the technique makes no provision for encryption of the data and its subsequent decryption in a convenient way. Thus, someone who illegally obtains a data identifier and creates or modifies their own playback equipment may have unlimited access to the data and its playback.
There are many techniques known in the art for securely distributing computer software through insecure channels. Generally, these require encryption of the source data and using some variant of a public/private key technique for decryption and use. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,956,408, issued Sep. 21, 1999, to Arnold, entitled "Apparatus and Method for Secure Distribution of Data" describes privately encrypting software, distributing it, and then using the corresponding public key to decrypt it in a secure area within the destination computer.
Likewise, techniques for associating data with specific devices or addresses are known, for example, European Patent No. EP 0179612B11, granted Aug. 7, 1991 to Horn, entitled "Cryptographic System for Direct Broadcast Satellite Network." Such systems typically require local knowledge of the identifier which is encrypted to provide a receiver key in some fashion. These methods do not provide verification of source media or data (although content accuracy can be digitally verified using known validation techniques) or partition keys as described herein. Note that this patent does not describe or claim data validation techniques. Such techniques can be used in addition to those described herein to provide yet another level of security and guarantee of data integrity.
There is a need therefore for an improved distribution method for digital data that avoids the security of content and control of playback problems noted above with respect to the prior art.
This need is met according to the present invention by a method and system for secure distribution and access to digital data, that includes providing a plurality of system components; associating a plurality of unique identifiers with different components of the system; and controlling access by the system to the digital data based on a correspondence between the unique identifiers. According to a further aspect of the invention, these identifiers can be complemented with encryption/decryption capabilities by encrypting data with a common key but decrypting with a multi-part key embedded in the medium, playback device, and any other pertinent system components. When the medium is placed within a playback device, the device will access the medium, data, and playback identifiers and only proceed with data playback if the identifiers correspond. Decryption and playback can proceed if all pieces of the multi-part decryption key are correct.
The present invention has the advantage of providing a mechanism for the secure distribution of mass-produced digital data in a secure and cost-effective way. Low-cost data replication is readily used while an extremely fine control of playback is possible. The approach is also resistant to theft and illegal playback.
The foregoing problems associated with the distribution and use of valuable digital data may be overcome by utilizing identifiers and encryption for controlling their access, replication, and playback. Referring to
In one embodiment wherein the medium is a read only medium, such as a compact disc bearing digital data, and many copies of the disc are to be made, the system operates as follows. The digital data is written or otherwise fixed into the read-only digital medium. The unique medium identifier medium which can be a sub-code or other fixed identifier uniquely specifying the medium and is generally not copied when the medium contents are copied. A unique data identifier is then embedded in the digital data, using any well known data embedding process, and the data including the embedded identifier is written onto each disc. The medium identifier may be known only to the manufacturer of the medium whereas the data identifier may be known only to the data owner.
The disc is then sent to the purchaser who may own a number of playback devices. Each playback device has within it a unique playback device identifier (the playback device identifier may be unique to the owner who may have several of the playback devices, each containing the owner's unique device identifier). This identifier may be known only to the owner of the playback devices or, since the identifier can be buried within the hardware of the device, may be transparent to the owner. Since the playback devices are likely to be moved, sold, or exchanged, it is preferable that the identifier be capable of modification (with difficulty) and not be directly hardwired into the components and unalterable.
The purchaser then inserts the medium into the playback device for data retrieval, access, or display. The playback device accesses the medium and identifiers. The playback device first establishes that the medium, data, and playback identifiers correspond in a predetermined fashion and then proceeds to playback the data. Note that to enhance security, the unique identifiers should correspond in some fashion but not be identical. If the medium, data, and devices identifiers do not correspond in the predetermined fashion, the playback device will be incapable of correctly reading and outputting the data.
This technique obviates the need to separately communicate an identifier to the owner along with the data. Indeed, the owner need not be aware of the unique data identifier or its construction, thus enhancing security. If a copy of the data bearing medium is created (without a copy of the medium identifier), the data cannot be played back. Moreover, if either the data or medium identifiers are illegally obtained, the security of the system is maintained if a playback device having a non-corresponding device identifier is used. If all identifiers and the hardware playback device are compromised, future security may be re-established by changing the identifiers attached to new data or media.
As an example of the foregoing,
As a simple example of correspondence, each identifier could be the same arbitrary string of alphanumeric characters. The playback device merely need compare them and proceed if they are identical. As noted above, however, this technique does not provide much security. If only one identifier is obtained, the others are also found. A more complex approach is to make two of the identifiers very large prime numbers. The third number can be the product of the first two. The playback device must multiply the two prime numbers together and establish that their product matches the third number. (As is well known, factoring large numbers is difficult. Hence, this approach provides a greater degree of security. Moreover, this approach can be readily extended by using more large prime numbers.) In this case, if two of the identifiers are obtained, the third can be found. Yet another approach is to incorporate a table as one of the identifiers (or, as described below, part of a transferred instruction), the second is the entry number, and the third is the table entry. The playback device performs the lookup and tests whether the numbers correspond. While this is less secure, it is a practical way to support a large number of customers.
Other examples of content suitable for this invention include music, multi-media presentations, and the like. Storage devices can include optical disks (CD-ROMS, DVD, etc.) as well as magnetic tapes, disks, or other magnetic media. Distribution can include physical shipment of the media or, indeed, utilize broadcast mechanisms such as telecommunications, satellite, local area networks, corporate networks, land-lines, the Internet, etc. Access devices can include traditional computers, CD players, video players, DVD players, digital projectors, etc. Note that if electronic distribution is used, an identifier suitable to the medium may not be available and the system will rely upon only the remaining data and device identifiers. This may also be the case for read/write media in which an identifier cannot be conveniently placed. Some media may utilize medium identifiers not subject to copying, others may not. The extent to which these are used is dependent on the desired attributes of the entire system.
In a further implementation, the digital data can contain instructions or a transferred program 56 (
Hence, the security of the system can be enhanced with the application of encryption using a multi-part decryption key conceptually similar to the multiple identifiers described above. Indeed, the keys can be the same information as the identifiers, but need not be. It is important to note that the efficient manufacture of the medium together with the digital data requires that the same data be written on every disk.
When encryption is also used,
Note that the system as described can actually include more (or fewer) partial keys. Each component in the system for which security is required can be associated with a partial key as long as there is a communication mechanism transferring the partial key information to the playback device. The accessing playback device then combines all relevant keys to enforce a secure access to the data. For example, a projectionist might be supplied with an identifier which must be entered into the system. The identifier is evaluated with the other component identifiers and playback continues only if the identifiers correspond. Alternatively, fewer key portions or identifiers can be used thereby simplifying the system but reducing the security. Moreover, for further security, the keys or identifiers themselves can be hidden within the data, medium, or playback device by further encrypting them, distributing them among other data elements, dividing them into pieces and storing them in multiple locations, etc.
The identifiers associated with the various system components can encode more information than simply the partial decryption key and this additional information can be used to further circumscribe the use of the data. For example, an expiration or start date can be encoded such that the playback device is incapable of reading or decrypting the data after or before a certain date has passed. Other limitations can also be encoded, such as number of times played, etc.
Again, as with the identifiers, additional security can be integrated into the system by including a transferred program or instructions 82 (
The use of multi-part keys or identifiers reduces the risk of compromising the data. If any of the identifiers or keys is stolen, the system will still not support playback. Only in the case in which a playback device and the corresponding data storage medium are stolen, will the data playback be compromised. In this case, the invention also supports future security, in that the data storage device manufacturer can simply stop producing storage media with the key portion that corresponds to the stolen playback device. Hence, future media will not be compromised. An alternative key portion can be used that will then not work with a transferred program, that is, the transferred program can be instructed to ignore a certain, compromised data key.
The advantages of this approach are that the wide distribution of valuable, copyrighted data can be achieved while reducing the risk of illegal use of the data. As described, this technique can inhibit playback of the data using conventional devices by inhibiting access to the content. Copying the media is inhibited by requiring the recognition of media and data identifiers that are not readily transferred from one medium to another. Control over access is established by requiring corresponding data, medium, and playback device identifiers.
Data security is established by encryption. Manufacturing efficiency is obtained by using a common encryption key. Decryption key security is established by dividing the key into multiple parts, each embedded into a different device (for example, the medium itself and the playback device).
Additional security is maintained through the use of a transferred program or instructions that reduce the availability of the validation mechanisms in the hardware devices themselves. This also provides additional flexibility in application and future extensions or modifications.
Thus, large digital data files can be written to media, manufactured at low cost, and distributed with great security. If the medium is stolen, it cannot be used nor can any illegal copies of the medium. If the playback device is stolen, it can only be used with a specific medium, which will be unavailable except to the legitimate owner. If both the medium and the playback device are stolen, they can only be used together. In this case, selecting a different data key or changing identifiers secures future data content.
Alternative implementations of the basic approach are also viable. For example, the device identifier does not necessarily have to be embedded within a playback device but could be distributed to it via a network either by a central computer controlled by the owner of the playback device or by the manufacturer of the media. Distribution via the Internet is also feasible. Controlling mechanisms within the playback device or transferred program could be time dependent or based on other external factors, allowing an even finer control of the playback of the data. Thus the technique is not only useful for preventing piracy but for controlling and enforcing legitimate use.
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Jury to deliberate murder plot case
Defense attorney rests without calling a witness
A jury is expected to begin deliberating today in the trial of a 38-year-old Freer man accused in an attempted murder for hire after lawyers present their closing arguments.
Samuel Espinoza has been accused of helping his girlfriend attempt to hire a hitman to kill her common-law husband Frederico Hernandez in April 2005. A retired Department of Public Safety officer was acting as the hitman in an undercover investigation.
Espinoza's attorney Mark A. Dicarlo rested without calling a witness, but Espinoza was heard in a taped conversation used as evidence Wednesday.
"They're blaming me for all this (expletive)," Espinoza said during the conversation with Herminia Alicia Ozuna on May 28, 2005. Ozuna, who pleaded guilty on Sept. 7, 2005, spoke with Espinoza while calling her mother's home in Freer from the Nueces County Jail.
After two days of evidence that included the retired DPS officer, a videotape of what authorities said was a $40 down payment for the killing and testimony by Hernandez that he had never talked to or met Espinoza, prosecutor Mike Skurka rested his case Wednesday.
Judge Jose Longoria told the jury the court would have a formal reading of the charge and hear closing arguments at 9 a.m.
Ozuna was sentenced to a 50 years in prison and fined $10,000.
If found guilty, Espinoza could face a maximum sentence of life in prison and a $20,000 fine.

Despite a chilly, windy day on campus, URI's First Annual Tree Planting to commemorate Earth Day went without a hitch. After a few words from Provost DeHayes and Vice President Weygand, including a quick tutorial on how to properly plant a tree, a Green Mountain Sugar Maple was welcomed into its new home outside of Green Hall. Those who came by to celebrate were invited to take turns shoveling some dirt and have the opportunity to proclaim that they helped plant a new tree at URI. We also had a "pot your own" table on hand with recycled mini-pot planters, fertilized soil, and a variety of vegetable, fruit, herb, and flower seeds available for free to anyone who wanted to take home a special planting of their own to remember the day. Visit the URI Sustainability Facebook page for more memorable photos.

A Python program which allows arbitrary remapping of input events from any standard linux input device. It can turn any input device into virtually any other; joysticks controlling the mouse pointer, mice pretending to be keyboards, keyboards masquerading as joysticks!
Though originally only targetted at improving linux support for the Belkin Nostromo n52 with arbitrary macros, once I had finished researching how it would be implemented, expanding it's scope to cover any USB device was trivial. Theoretically non-USB devices could also be supported, but that has yet to be tested.
Pystromo currently consists of two daemons/scripts; pystromo-remap.py, which performs the remapping of input; and pystromo-
As best as I can remember, and with the exception of graphical configuration tools, Pystromo now matches and exceeds all the functionality of the Windows Nostromo driver software.

Gunslinger's Academy is a Jedi Academy total conversion which aims to bring gun combat to Jedi Academy Multiplayer. Features include new weapons, achievements, killstreak rewards, a new combat system, several new maps, and multiple new gametypes.
Shipment is previewed. Also: Some news on some bugfixes and weapons.
Posted by eezstreet on Sep 24th, 2010
September 24th, 2010
This week has been a slower-than-usual one. Fortunately, we have some news for you guys this week that may entice you. If you wish to get easy access to future updates and/or improve the team's morale, click on "Track this Mod" over on the right. You can also help out by posting on our forums, or even better, by lending a hand in the effort.
Not too much in the way of code and graphics got done for this week, I apologize. However, I have gotten word back from Silverfang. Seems he got word from Pande, one of the resident skinners over at Jedi Knight Galaxies. Pande has offered to skin a few weapons for us, starting with the M16.
The team decided it was best to not change connection screen based on gametype, but rather based on how far you are in to connection. It also changes the display to "Solo Game" appropriately.
In addition to this, a bug got fixed that caused many weapon icons to display missing textures if they were out of ammo. This has been corrected, and now all weapons have uniform out of ammo icons.
To end this week's news update, I saved the best for last. j3rk, our old friend in the mapping and modding world, has announced that he has completed a port of "Shipment" to Gunslinger's Academy, which we were pretty impressed with. Media will be provided as soon as some touching up is done to the map.
This is eezstreet, signing off.

Satellite images show mysterious figure in Loch Ness
Some think the images are that of Nessie herself.
By Andrea Waguespack | April 18, 2014
Photo By Bentley Archive/Popperfoto/Popperfoto/Getty ImagesThe Loch Ness monster just might be dead. A veteran Nessie watcher who keeps track of her sightings tells the Daily Mail that no confirmed sightings of the shy Scottish monster have been reported in 90 years.
Take a look at the other out-of-this-world mysteries that captivate us.
Photo By Dave Caulkin, File/APStonehenge and how it came to be has been steeped in mystery. Without the marvels of modern machinery, historians and conspiracy theorists alike wonder how such heavy rocks were hauled all the way up through the hilly English landscape and artfully erected. While those mysteries remain, scientists have clued us in to one factoid: the exact source of the smaller bluestones has been pinpointed to a nearby outcropping about two miles away.

Satellite images have surfaced (pun intended) that could show none other than the Loch Ness Monster.
The images were accessed using Apple's satellite map app, and just happen to be released during the same week as the 81st anniversary of a famous Loch Ness sighting.
As far as monsters go, Nessie is pretty chill. Any buzz about her in the media tends to be pretty tame, as opposed to the carnivorous chupacabra or the abduction-prone aliens.
In fact, Nessie may be too chill. In February 2014, a Loch Ness monster enthusiast who is in charge of the registry of Nessie sightings said that there haven't been any confirmed sightings of the creature in 90 years. This prompted some to believe that she's dead.
But maybe these latest images will breath new life into the beast's allure. While we can't exactly say for sure what's lurking in those photos, we can all agree that it feeds the imagination. Take a look at the gallery above to see the out-of-this-world mysteries that captivate us.

Security driving the roads in Alaska (what a joke)
First of all let me preface this by saying as long as I'm not driving between Wasilla and Anchorage where all the road warriors are driving I don't feel secure at all. There are to many cell phone being used and two many drivers that don't have any respect for thier fellow travelers. And thats in the middle of summer. I commuted between Anchorage and Wasilla for quite a few years and IMO its just gotten worse.
I do realize if you watch your time ( time you leave one or the other) you can have a traffic free ride.
Some folks will think because I'm running a sidecar it would be a snap to drive in in the winter conditions because I won't fall over, But I can still slide off the rode which could really be ugly.
I don't run studs because I personally do not think they work that well, two many ditch divers will tell you I just lost control Officer and I was going the speed limit.
Never admitting they were going to fast for conditions or thier phone rang.
I'm running all season radials on the drive wheel and sidecar and a regular road tire on the front wheel of the bike
I rode up Hatcher Pass Fishook road out of Wasilla and was able to maintain 35-45 on the curves found a lot of black ice just drive the way you should and be careful
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it
