Ayrton Senna's 1991 driver's suit expected to fetch up to $55,000 at auction

In 1991, Brazilian Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna captured his third and final world championship, taking victories in seven of the season's 16 races. One of those wins came at Monaco, and it is to Monaco that the suit he reportedly wore during that race will return to cross the auction block next month.
Despite Senna's global popularity, it's unlikely the star's Nomex suit (one of several probably worn during the 1991 season) will approach the $984,000 paid for the suit worn by Steve McQueen, as the fictitious Michael Delaney, during the filming of LeMans. In February of 2012, a suit from Senna's 1990 championship season with McLaren sold at auction, fetching £35,650 ($56,587); Senna's helmet, from the 1993 season in which the Brazilian driver finished runner-up in the championship to rival Alain Prost, achieved a selling price of £74,750 ($118,651) at the same sale.

The Senna driver's suit to be offered in Monaco comes complete with a certificate of authenticity from the McLaren team, and reportedly once belonged to the personal collection of McLaren CEO Ron Dennis. It's documented as being worn by Senna during the 1991 season, and RM Auctions claims the driver wore the suit for the Monaco Grand Prix, where the Brazilian captured his fourth consecutive win of the year. Senna always had a special relationship with Monaco, and many believe the star's future was shaped there in 1984, when he drove an uncompetitive Toleman from a 13th place start to a second place finish in a torrential downpour that eventually saw the race red-flagged (shortly before Senna would have challenged Alain Prost for the lead). It's no coincidence, then, that this particular bit of Senna's history will cross the stage in Monaco, and RM places a pre-auction estimate of €30,000 to €40,000 (about $41,000 to $55,000) on the suit.

Senna's Nomex isn't the only celebrity driver's suit to cross the block in the coming weeks. On April 9, a New York auction specializing in modern and vintage watches will offer a driver's suit and helmet worn by actor-turned-racer Paul Newman during the early 1980s. The package comes with authentication from Newman-Sharp Racing, and is expected to draw a selling price between $50,000 and $70,000, likely because the lot includes both Newman's helmet and Nomex suit.
RM's Monaco sale will focus on more than just racing memorabilia, and vehicles to be offered include James Hunt's 1974 Hesketh Formula 1 car. The sale will take place on May 10 at Le Sporting; for further details, visit RMAuctions.com.
UPDATE (13.May): Senna's 1991 season driver's suit sold for €55,575 ($76,493).
"The slowest way around Monte Carlo is the fastest way"
Kurt's profile of Jackie Stewart brought up some comments on The Flying Scot's racing technique, and perhaps nowhere is that technique better explained than in these clips from Roman Polanski's documentary on Stewart, Weekend of a Champion, which followed the driver around Monte Carlo during the weekend of the Grand Prix in May 1971. Specifically, we see here Stewart not only explaining the Monaco race course (driving what appears to be a Fiat Jolly) but also discussing the best line to take around a turn.
Monaco, 1962
Any gearhead visiting Monaco today can't help but pace the Monaco Grand Prix's course through the glitz and the glamour of Monte Carlo, and it was the same 50 years ago, as we see from these photos we found on Taringa.net showing some anonymous bygone tourist tracing the course. Fortunately for us, that means he got plenty of street scenes with a good variety of cars to identify. So what do you see here?
"In all this excitement, it was difficult to know which way to point the camera"
The 1955 Monaco Grand Prix should have shaped up to be a rout by the Mercedes-Benz team, which had Fangio and Moss out front and – at least for the first half of the race – dominant. Misfortune and mechanical troubles, however, sidelined both and gave the race to Ferrari's Maurice Trintignant. The race's actual legacy didn't become apparent until a few days later, when Alberto Ascari – who dunked his Lancia in the harbor thus giving up the brief lead he held after Moss dropped out – died during a testing session at Monza, making Monaco Ascari's last race. The couple of YouTube videos below capture some of that race's action.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1963 Ford Thunderbird Landau
We've yet to come across a complete explanation of why Ford decided to offer a version of the Thunderbird that commemorated Princess Grace and the Principality of Monaco in 1963 – perhaps a commemorative edition of the Falcon, which competed in that year's Monte Carlo race, would have been too downscale? Whatever the reason, this 1963 Ford Thunderbird Landau for sale on Hemmings.com is one of 2,000 such limited-edition cars and appears to be in decent shape today. From the seller's description:
Beautiful driver-condition example of this limited-production #1556 of 2000 "Princess Grace Landau Coupe." Very fast, very comfortable, added 6V M Code manifold and (3) 2 barrel carburetor setup, functions perfectly and sounds very cool with M-Code-style dual exhaust. New brake and fuel lines, gas tank, fuel pump and filters and air cleaner. Beautiful, new correct Rose/burgundy vinyl top, and matching aftermarket carpet set. Wheels look to be correct, spinner style wheel covers, but are actually low profile Kelsey Hayes wire wheels that allow the fender skirts to be installed. I have 2 sets of skirts, and new gaskets and locator pins installed. My body specialist expects that the rear quarter panels have been replaced at some point, but seamless body lines, and look suggests a professional job. Restored paint is correct Corinthian White as is the leather interior. I have installed new NOS ignition key and lock sets, the A/C works, but is set for Freon. Heater works but AM radio does not. Radio was ordered with fader and factory rear speaker. Seats show some light cracking and dryness but are in remarkably good shape for being 50 years old. All electric windows work perfect, as does remote mirror. Headliner could use a replacement, and several of the interior chrome trim pieces could use a re-chrome. Currently registered in Minnesota as a "Collector" Class car, the plate reads Grace63.

Alpine-Renault celebrates 40 years of victory at Monte Carlo Historique
Photos courtesy Renault.
The beautiful, amazingly accomplished Alpine A110 Berlinette was Renault's world-beating entry on the world rally stage in the late 1960s-early 1970s. Renault remains proud of this Alpine's heritage, and this automaker's Classic division is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the A110's one-two-three finish in the 1973 Monte Carlo Rally by entering five examples in the 2013 Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique, taking place this week. These cars will be driven by a star-studded team, including the 1973 event winners.
The Alpine-Renault 1973 victories, led by Jean-Claude Andruet and his female co-driver, 'Biche,' counted toward this team's Manufacturers' crown at the end of the inaugural World Rally Championship in 1973.
This is the third year that Renault Classic is contesting in the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique, and the first since Renault's announcement that the Alpine brand is being revived in a joint venture with Caterham Cars.
Saltarelli Ducati collection heads to auction
One of the largest private collections of Ducatis ever assembled will cross the block next month at RM's auction at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.
Scheduled to cross the auction block on the first day of the event, the Carlo Saltarelli Collection features more than 100 rare and unique Ducatis, many of which have known racing history. Racing replicas and classic Ducati road bikes from the collection are also being offered.
Carlo Saltarelli was a factory test rider for Ducati and became an owner of his own dealership. He spent over 30 years amassing this collection, which spans the full history of Ducati from Cucciolos to Hailwood Replicas and 748 Bipostos. All bikes are being auctioned at no reserve, but don't expect there to be any that might slip through the bidding without garnering at lot of bidders' attention. Some of the collection to be sold:
1950 model 60
1955 125 Sport
1983 500SL Pantah Desmo
1969 450 Mark 3
1972 Mille Miglia replica
1956 model 65 Cucciolo Sport
1990 Paso 7550 Desmo
1981 and 1983 900 Mike Hailwood replicas
And this list barely scratches the surface of what will be sold. The auction takes place May 11-12. For more information, visit RMAuctions.com.
A collection fit for a prince
This past September, I had the unbelievably good fortune to cruise the Mediterranean with a few other Hemmings staffers and about 350 of our loyal readers aboard the Carnival Freedom. Dan Strohl already shared you some of the interesting cars we saw on the road, here and here. One of our stops was Monaco, where my family and I asked directions in bad high-school French until we found the car collection of His Serene Majesty Prince Rainier III, the country's late ruler.
I was expecting that the prince's collection would be all high-end exotics and Grand Prix veterans, like this Bugatti Type 35B that won the 1929 race. What I didn't expect was all of the American cars that were on display. And I'm not talking about Duesenbergs and Dobles, either. A plaque by the door explains:
This is not an automobile museum, just a private collection of Old Cars of different makes, countries and ages. Prestigious or not, they have all marked their time in the evolution of the automobile construction: some I have enjoyed, all I admire.
My gratitude goes to those who participated in the restoration of these cars: Their work, interest and skill made this presentation possible.
Here, for example, was a 1966 Buick Skylark, keeping company with a 1964 Dodge Dart.
Not just a 1973 Chevrolet Camaro, but a six-cylinder Camaro. Notice the yellow headlamp bulbs, required for travel on French roads.
opposite ends of the spectrum in Monaco
In addition to all the Ferraris and Bentleys we observed in Monaco, these two cars we thought were also noteworthy.
Along the main avenue leading up to the casino (note the Gucci store in the background), we found this '71 Fiat 500 with a for sale sign on it. 2500 euros (that's about $3,700.00) much less than what they command here in the states. Have seen a few ads recently in the $6,000 to $10,000 range. But the big question is, how much to ship it back here? True, it was small enough to fit up the gangway for the ship, but I might have had a problem at the Customs desk when we disembarked. And of course the purple would be totally unacceptable as a permanent color option.
This Smart Car roadster looked right at home on the Monaco city streets, much moreso than it's taller brother. I have to admit this is the first one I have seen up close and I really like the look of it. Does it come in Ferrari Red? I would pry off the smart emblem, throw a few horse decals on it and really confuse people. Didn't dare open the hood to see if it was one of the Brabus turbocharged V-6 version cranking out 215 hp. Too bad they were only made from '03-'05. Smart GmbH could have sold a lot of them on this side of the pond. I believe they sold in the $36,000 to $40,000 range when new (non-Brabus models of course).
old car safari in Italy, part 2 – Dubrovnik, Sicily, Monaco and Florence
Not all of the remaining ports of call for the Hemmings Mediterranean Cruise had old cars to ogle – and I'll discuss why in another post – but the ones that did all had their unique flavors of cars. For instance, we stopped in Dubrovnik, Croatia, on the fourth day of the cruise, and found a city and country full of newness: a new highway system, newly built houses and hotels and bridges, new cars plying those new roads and new bridges. The reason for all the newness lies in the nearly complete destruction of the country during the war there a decade and a half ago, reminders of which still exist just about everywhere you look. Yet we saw plenty of these Renault 4s. Never got much of an explanation for their presence there.
Skipping our next stop, Venice, I'll move on to Sicily, where Heather and I came across this Fiat 127 while climbing the mountain to Castelmola. While not exactly rural, the area of Sicily we visited wasn't exactly urban either, so the cars here looked a little older, a little more beat-up.
Once we got up to Castelmola, we tripped across this Piaggio Ape on one of the back alleys. Some of the graffiti on it read "Hippy Car," but we ultimately determined it was connected to a local pizzeria, either as a delivery vehicle or as advertising.
Down the mountain in Taormina, the town had a Fiat 1107 Campagnola parked away.
Our next stop, Barcelona, didn't afford much car-spotting opportunity, but Monaco proved a car-spotter's paradise. Ferraris were about as common as Cadillacs in Texas (probably largely thanks to a tourist-centered business that allowed people to drive a Ferrari around the Grand Prix circuit for 150 Euros), and the ultra-rich cars became thicker the closer you got to the casino. It was also in Monaco that we saw the only real vintage exotic of the trip, a Lamborghini Miura, parked downhill from the casino.
We also saw an inordinate number of Mini Mokes. Again, I didn't get an explanation.
Smarts are, of course, commonplace all over Europe, but this Brabus-tuned Smart sitting outside the Mercedes/Maybach dealership was far from commonplace.
While I'm off-topic and talking about new cars for a moment, I might as well mention that Italian cities have the world's hottest cop cars – Alfa Romeo 159 four-door sedans.
And, rounding out our ports of call, in Florence, we came across plenty of electric city vehicles like the above Pasquali, a three-wheeled tandem two-seater.
I couldn't find anything about this particular car on the elektrocar.it website printed on the car's flanks.
And finally, this Ligier Nova that we walked past apparently suffered from a nearsighted driver. Or else it falls apart at the slightest bump – not an attribute you'd want in your car were you to drive in Italy.

We are trying to inslal the JRE plug-in on IE along with out HTML page (using the HTML converter). Our application is internationalized for Japanese also.
The link to the plug-in works on IE with English locale. On a Windows 2000 Professional English version, when I change the locale to Japanese, the plug-in box gives a drop-down box for locale (International and US English) are choices.
However on a Windows 2000 Japanese version, this locale drop down box comes up empty? Hence the plug-in cannot be installed automatically from the web page.
Why is it different on a Windows 2000 Japanese version than a WIndows 2000 English version with Japanese locale. Does this requires some OS patch...
Please help with some info..

Two Western Michigan University students are gearing up for the 2014 Student Summit. This unique event brings students and their future employers together to interact and socialize. While at Student Summit, companies can interview students for internships and even full-time positions.
"School teaches you about the technology, Student Summit teaches you how to network and actually sit in an interview," said Katie Stickles, a senior at Western Michigan State University.
With her sights set on becoming a process engineer, Stickles has a true passion for the forest products industry. Having already been offered multiple internships, Stickles is now setting her sights on a full-time position as a process engineer.
"A process engineer runs trails, looks at process maximization and tries to help save money," said another student, Lexi Pierce, also of Western Michigan University.
Pierce, who is a junior, also plans to pursue a career as a process engineer and she hopes to change the paper image.
"Even within mills there is a misconception about where paper is going," she said. "Paper is not dying, it is transforming."
Both women have attended Student Summit in previous years and know the value it has for paper science students.
"I have had several interviews and offers at Student Summit," Stickles said. "I really enjoyed the feedback on my interview skills."
While Student Summit does focus on connecting students with potential employers, there are also technical sessions all students are encouraged to attend.
"The first year I went, I was getting used to what paper engineering was," Pierce said. "This year I will be able to understand more of the program content."
Not only do Pierce and Stickles attend Student Summit each year, they also attend the much larger PaperCon Conferences.
"PaperCon is not geared towards students," Pierce said. "So there is a lot more networking to be done. The content is on a higher level and more focused on industry issues."
If you are considering attending the 2014 Student Summit, please look for more information of their website.

Private companies sell Medicare supplement insurance that help beneficiaries cover health care expenses that are not provided by the Medicare policy. It includes coinsurance, copayments and deductibles. If insurances are tax deductible, the holders would enjoy immense reductions during its redemption. However, if you are baffled about the big question, 'are Medicare premiums tax deductible', read on to know more about the real procedure.
Medicare Supplement Insurance is included in the Medigap insurance program. Medicare insurance does not cover all expenses. In order to supplement the gaps in the health care coverage in Medicare A and B insurance, Supplemental Medicare insurance program is implemented. Even though Medicare insurance is implemented through private companies, the program is monitored, regulated and supervised by Federal Laws. State laws are also applicable while providing supplemental Medicare insurance.
However, to receive the benefits of Supplemental Medicare Health Insurance, you need to hold Medicare A and B plans. Supplemental Medicare Health Insurance is offered through 12 different plans. It starts from A to L. Since each of the plans is varied in their nature, individuals can select the ones ideal for them, according to their needs.
Are Medicare premiums tax deductible?
The answer is in affirmative. Considering the normal restrictions, the premiums paid by the Medicare supplement insurance is eligible for tax deductions. It is deductible as medical expense. If the expenses go beyond 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income, you are eligible for deductions. This may not come as a benefit for healthy taxpayers. However, with the increase in health care costs, you may become eligible. When health care costs go high, it is likely that you may incur medical expenses over and above 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income.
You should note that Medicare supplement insurance policies do not come under family health plans. Your insurance policy does not cover the healthcare expenses of your spouse. However, the premiums can be combined as long as they both indicate a medical expense.
With Supplemental Medicare health insurance providing such tax deduction features, many folks switch to this type of insurance for additional benefits while tax laws are relieved. The prevailing tax codes provide many offers for older taxpayers. Furthermore, there is a plethora of investments and savings programs that help you extend earnings and income up to the retirement age. Carefully read the terms and conditions laid out in the policy before you plan to purchase one.
If you consider the offers and benefits associated with Medicare Supplemental insurance, you would understand that it is a policy worth buying!

Its happened again at Chuck E. CheeseCategory: America Is Becoming A Third World Country, Blacks, Diversity Is Our Greatest Strength
Chuck E. Cheese has got to be one of the most dangerous establishments in operation today, and we all know why. Here's the latest meyhem:
MATTESON (CBS) — A brawl Saturday night at the Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant in Matteson ended in a cloud of pepper spray and seven people arrested on charges ranging from disorderly conduct to battery.
When police arrived about 8:30 p.m., they found several adults screaming obscenities and throwing chairs at each other in the dining room, while parents with young children fled from the restaurant, near U.S. 30 and Cicero Avenue, police said.
Officers ordered the combatants to stop, but when many ignored the command, police used pepper spray to subdue them, according to police. They said two men continued fighting and screaming, one of whom was bleeding from a head wound. Both had to be physically restrained before being handcuffed by police.
Witnesses told police the dispute started when two children got into an argument, the mothers of the children then got into a confrontation and it escalated. Two of the restaurant's managers said they did not see what caused the initial altercation, police said.
The bleeding man, Lester Whisby, 26, of Chicago, was charged with reckless conduct, disorderly conduct, battery and resisting arrest and was treated by paramedics at the scene. No one else needed medical attention, police said.
Also charged with battery, resisting arrest, reckless conduct and disorderly conduct was Joe Lynch, 27, of Blue Island, according to police.
Charged with reckless conduct and disorderly conduct were Triesha Jackson, 21, and Tevin Johnson, 18, both of Ponca City, Okla; Johnny Fleming, 18, of Sauk Village; Stephen Dyer, 31, of Chicago, and Leslie Whisby, 26, of Chicago, police said.
Police are reviewing video footage of the incident.
It was reminiscent of a similar disturbance at the restaurant in March 2011, when five men and a teenage boy were charged with mob action and disorderly conduct after a brawl in which an arcade machine was tipped over. Police also used pepper spray in that incident.
If you're in a Chuck E. Cheese joint, and there are more than one or two minorities there, you'd best pay your tab and get out. Right here in Memphis we have recurring problems, as you might imagine.
You can find all these articles wondering what in the world is going on at Chuck E. Cheese restaurants that deliberately avoid even mentioning the elephant in the room, which is race. There have been a lot of articles written on this trend. One appeared in the Wall Street Journal. And just like all the others, it didn't point out that the vast majority of these cases involve blacks. But it did give a link to a police report for a couple of the incidents. Here's some pertinent info from one of them, (a Chuck E. Cheese in Flint, Michigan) from the responding police officer:
I exited my vehicle and entered into the Chuck E. Cheese restaurant where I observed approximately 75-85 black males and females fighting in the rear of the restaurant.
Here's the 411 from the cop who responded to another one, this time a Chuck E. Cheese in Brookfield, Wisconsin:
I MADE CONTACT WITH THE MANGER xxxxxx AND INQUIRED WHICH PEOPLE WERE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. HE DIRECTED ME TO TWO LARGE GROUPS OF MALE AND FEMALE AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE.
All these articles make it sound as if there's something about Chuck E. Cheese restaurants that mysteriously triggers violence, as if the company is somehow to blame. When in actuality, the problem is being caused almost entirely by the same people who commit most other violent crimes, blacks. Even the company, which like all other corporations strives to be PC at all times, uses code words to make it clear just who's causing all the trouble:
A call to CEC Entertainment, Inc., which runs Chuck E. Cheese, was referred to the company's legal department in Irvine, Texas. Messages left Tuesday morning and afternoon were not returned.
In April, a company spokeswoman told The Patriot-News all the restaurants have security cameras to help ensure peace of mind for customers and the restaurants' workers who dress as the Chuck E. Cheese mouse mascot.
"As in our other urban, high-density locations, we rely on the local authorities and their advice to control situations such as the ones we have experienced in Harrisburg," spokeswoman Brenda Holloway said.
The word "urban", of course, is PC code for black.
How long can the company survive this kind of publicity? You can't have story after story in the national media about fights and near riots regularly breaking out at your chain of restaurants, especially one geared toward parents with kids, and expect to stay in business. According to the WSJ article, they've already put armed security at some of their stores, like the one in Brookfield, and the problems still persist.
There's not much they can do, actually, thanks to all the Civil Right laws on the books, especially the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which effectively outlawed free enterprise in America. If this were a free country, Chuck E. Cheese restaurants would be free to admit who they wanted, and ban who they didn't want, for whatever reasons. Say what you want about segregated restaurants in the South, but they didn't have these problems. And anyone who points out that Chuck E. Cheese wouldn't have these problems if they didn't allow blacks is a racist, bigot, and a Nazi. Just as anyone who points out that the World Trade Center would still be standing if we had never allowed non-white immigration is a racist, bigot, and a Nazi. We've decided the tradeoffs in freedom and safety are worth it for the glorious benefits of living in Martin Luther King's Diversity Wonderland. So we'd better just get used to it. But I wouldn't be buying stock in Chuck E. Cheese.
Below is yet another celebration of Diversity at a Chuck E. Cheese pizza joint.

I wonder why CEC is still in business. This kind of on-going problem would have shut down any other business long ago.
I guess CEC has simply chalked this up to 'the price of doing business'.

Some of these companies have made deals to get EBT money. Wal-Mart, and many others, are aggressively lobbying your congressman to appropriate more money for welfare, and to ADVERTISE for greater welfare enrollment, because Wal-Mart is the single largest recipient of EBT payments. Your money is going to the parasites and then straight to Wal-Mart, and Wal-Mart has far more say in how much of your money is spent than you do! And then they give some of the money back to the congress to get them re-elected.
John Harper Says:
January 18th, 2013 at 1:17 pm
Btw, all the giant agricultural corporations…ConAgra, Archer Daniels Midland, Atlantic Richfield Company, etc…are paying your congress to spend more welfare money, too. The welfare leeches spend their EBT with those companies and of course the companies then fund the politicians to keep them in office.

I would recommend to all white Americans to avoid Denny's restaurants also, especially at night. The black hip-hop types [read : criminals]like to hang-out at Denny's restaurants also. That's the situation here in Sacramento,CA. I imagine it's the same everywhere there's a Denny's.
If you have to travel at night, it's alot better to pack some food at home before the road trip, especially if you're traveling with children or elderly, or are a single woman.
Be wary of diners open 24 hours, especially in urban, and suburban, areas. I never lived in the country, so I don't know about rural diners so much.

As I was explaining under the Disney article, it is amazing how pleasant America was as recently as the eighties and early nineties when I was a kid. Disney and CEC are two examples, when examining how much they have changed, as well as amusement "parks" in general, and other establishments.
We can argue about how far back in history it was that America started getting corrupted at the establishment level, but from my point of view it seems that it was the Clinton years, and then into the mid nineties, when the overall effects from everything started getting pretty mainstream.
Am I wrong? Watch the average television ad from the eighties….look up the old commercials from that time period….by watching them you would think America was populated only by Brits and Swedes. Watch the "Doublemint gum" commercials as well as the "Extra" brand for gum commercials. They put a smile on my face realizing how recent
that was.
Courtney from Alabama Says:

The following is the commercial from the 80's that puts a smile on my face. This is how I remember most commercials from when I was a kid at that time. Doesn't it make you smile realizing that it was so recent that American commercials were still quite white?
Here is the "Extra" commercial I was refering to. Again, this was as recent as the eighties.

What you said here is something all whites must internalize:
"And they wonder why we don't want to be around them."
As we all know, whites are conditioned like Pavlov's dog to have an aversion to rayyycissm. In my experience, one of the most effective talking points that liberals and respectable conservatives use against whites is this:
"You just don't want to be around people who aren't like you!"
The salivating that ensues would be glorious if it wasn't so serious. Whites instinctively react with artificial indignation: "What are you talking about? I don't have a problem with black people! Some of my best friends are black! I just want to live in a neighborhood that's safe for my kids regardless of who lives there!"
Whites are trained to HATE the idea that they don't want to be around people who aren't like them (IE, people of a different race). So when they are accused of doing so, it's like tickling the most sensitive funny bone. Luckily, however, a Pavlovian reaction can be unlearned, and in this case the way to do so is for whites like us to set an example. We must state confidently that we DON'T want to be around people who aren't like us. Besides, for the most part, people who aren't like us are violent savage barbarians. And those who aren't violent, like the Asians, are annoying anti-Christian collectivists, many of whom hate whites for who we are.
I myself grew up in an all white neighborhood in an all white village, and I don't want to live in any other environment. I don't want people to live around me who aren't like me. If enough whites adopted that attitude, one of the left's most effective rhetorical weapons would be rendered meaningless. As it stands, whites are slaves to their Pavlovian reactions.

Do you not realize, O Christians, that this type of thing would occur twice as much, indeed, ten times as much, if not for . . . abortion?
In the last past of the last century, a gigantic crime wave involving predatory gangs was predicted. It did not happen. The super-predators were all aborted, before they could even began their lawless rampage.
I was listening to a Christian financial expert on FM 88.9. He was talking about the holocaust in the ghetto caused by abortion. He was appalled.

They should just have a "blacks only brawl night" at Chuck E. Cheese, and let those folks get it out of their system. Then all of the normal people could come at other times without worrying about winding up in the middle of something like this.
To be honest with you, I don't like Chuck E. Cheese, even when they DON'T have fist fights going on. It's a choatic mess, with children running everywhere. I'm so fortunate that my kids are too old to go there anymore.
But it's a business run by folks who are just trying to make a living, so I empathize with them.

If a 'Bridezilla' is a woman who is upset because she thinks she won't have the perfect wedding, these must be some kind of 'Cheezezillas' who are upset because they think their children won't have the perfect birthday party.
Escalating a disagreement into a physical fight will absolutely ruin a child's birthday party.

James, when you said "All these articles make it sound as if there's something about Chuck E. Cheese restaurants that mysteriously triggers violence, as if the company is somehow to blame", it got me thinking (yeah, I know, that can be dangerous sometimes). Maybe the reason for these chimp outs at CEC's are due to CEC getting its chicken from Popeye's or Church's, or whichever chicken chain was accused years ago of trying to sterilize Afreakins, and possibly this sterilizing agent reacts differently with Afreakins, causing them to chimp out. Again, it be da white man fault.

While on the topic of this 'Chuck E. Cheese'-franchise, does anyone remember 'Show-Biz Pizza'? (At least here (in my neck of the woods)…'Show-Biz' pre-dated the 'Cheese'-chain, and was our first taste of an interactive mascot-restaurant. The stage-band was animatronic. Great pizza & a fun atmosphere, in the early-1980's:)
I feel sorry for the kids born in these later decades, because the family-environment is really dead. What true business can our people really operate, where these Huns don't bring their gemang to soil the atmosphere? (Are there any undiscovered planets we can move to and keep a secret?)

Actually, as a White man who is a proud racist, sexist, anti-semite (and my apologies here to Mr. Jared Taylor!) and a Nazi (actually, I'm not an official Nazi, only because the NSWPP disallowed me because I'm too radical!), I guess I'll stay with my 'hateful' friends (they're much, much less violent!)

Courtney, in those commercials you linked, not only is everyone white, but none of them are "kind of white". They don't look part latino or arabic or whatever. I grew up in the 70's; it seems like only yesterday that we were not required to have blacks, latinos, etc in EVERYTHING we watched, and certainly not to have all blonde white women paired with a black, as there is on TV every nine seconds now.

Se, where do we go where we won't be bothered by the unwashed. I'm guilty, as I watched this happen since the early 70's, and never thought it would get this bad. But it has. Now we have perverts wanting marriage rights (and when was the state given the right to grant us the right to get married)? And Dr. Duke has always been there to show the way. I refuse to be silent anymore. The future of our country depends on it.

Does your iPhone 4's Camera Tint Photos Blue in the Center?
It has been a while since I wrote a story about hardware problems with Apple's iPhone 4 but this deserves mentioning. Apparently, many iPhone 4 owners are complaining that the smartphone tints the center of photos blue. The problem is only really noticeable when pictures of white objects are taken.
We've all experienced or at least heard of a multitude of problems with the iPhone 4: Broken proximity sensors reactivating the touchscreen in the middle of calls, signal attenuation from "death grips," yellow tinted pictures, yellowed screens, and even swapped volume buttons.
While the majority of these problems have been fixed by turning in the affected iPhone for a new one, I am sure some are out there suffering through them. Why so many problems? Bad things are bound to happen when Apple cracks the whip on its 'iPhone cities' in China and tries to bring production levels up enough to meet demand. That and contract manufacturing always has some slipups.
Back to the blue tint problem with the iPhone 4's camera.
The problem is being reported with both still pictures and videos taken with the rear-facing, 5 megapixel camera. Proximity to the object seems to have a lot to do with it. Anyone else wonder if this is just a side-effect of the LED flash reflecting off of white objects?
Another possibility is the use of cases. On the MacRumor forums, one poster recommends outlining the hole cut out for the flash and camera with a black magic marker. Apparently the flash reflects off of the case and causes light leakage into the picture.
Regardless of what is exactly causing the problem, it looks like Apple has a lot to change in the iPhone 5. The antenna will almost certainly be redesigned and Apple will give the units more time to sit in the warehouse before shipping so that the screens do not yellow from the glue holding the pieces together (some didn't have time to cure properly, causing the yellow tinted screens).
Then again, where the heck is the white iPhone 4? It's been delayed until sometime in 2011. Could we see the Verizon iPhone 4 before the white AT&T iPhone 4? That would be embarrassing for Apple.
Let me know if you've noticed the blue tinted picture problem. Does it happen for videos you take as well?apple iphone 4, iphone 4 camera, manufacturer news

After disappointing showings on The Ultimate Fighter 3 and at UFC 73, Coloradojiu-jitsu ace "Big" Mike Nickels has found himself on the comebacktrail.
Wins in his last three fights, including an impressive Fight of the Night winover fellow UFC veteran David Heath in the MFC in October has Nickels possiblyon the verge of returning to his former promotion.
Currently standing in the way of Nickels' achieving such a task is UltimateFighter 8 alumnus Vinny "Pezao" Magalhaes, as the two are scheduledto meet on the Dec. 4 edition of Colorado's popular Ring of Fire.
"I feel good," stated Nickels heading into Friday's fight. "I'vebeen training a lot and working on a lot of different things, and coming offthe David Heath fight I feel like I've got good momentum and want to keep itgoing."
With two wins this year, and three victories in a row overall after having leftthe UFC, Nickels is having the kind of year he wanted to in order to accomplishhis main goal.
"In 2009 I wanted to make a push back to the UFC, so I started trainingreally hard and finally towards the end of the year we finally started havingthings come along," Nickels told MMAWeekly.com.
"Originally the UFC told me to get a couple wins and they'd have me backafter the Stephan Bonner fight. It took me a little while to get the fights tocome through, but I got a couple wins, and hopefully if things go my wayagainst Vinnie, it will (create) that opportunity."
While he's confident going into the fight, Nickels knows Magalhaes is someonehe cannot underestimate.
"On the ground he's definitely a top-shelf jiu-jitsu guy," statedNickels. "Some of the only fights I remember from (Ultimate Fighter)Season 8 was with him being slick on the ground, with omo plata arm bars fromthe top and stuff.
"I have faith in my jiu-jitsu and my training, and if anything I can keepmyself out of danger. As far as the stand-up, it's anybody's fight."
Nickels further explained, "I know a lot of people say that Vinnie doesn'tlike to get hit, or he doesn't have the best stand-up, but people were sayingthat about me for years.
"The last thing I would do is expect him to just try to take me to theground. I know David Heath thought I was going to take him down, and I waspretty comfortable standing and trading with him, so I expect an all levelfight from Vinnie."

Filter by Academic Programs, schedule

I just finished lesson 3 of the ID program. Do I have to buy E- Z decorator and Plan 3 D now? . Do I have to buy both?. What do you recommend?
Thank you!
Hi There!
The E-Z Decorator tableau is a very handy kit for making quick mock-ups of room decor but you do not require it to complete your Penn Foster studies. As long as you understand the concepts being taught in your lessons, you will have a good grounding in the theory of interior decorating and be adequately prepared for entry-level positions in the field.
To be honest, there are 3-D decor-simulators ranging from $150 to $5,000 --the scope of your work will determine what --if any--software you might need. Keep in mind that many successful decorators don't use simulation software at all; they are very skilled at conveying by drawing, photographs and explanation exactly what they feel would satisfy their clients.
Best of success in your studies!

Again, this document is kept in german. If anyone is willing to translate it into english, feel free to contact me.
In contrast to the other Lost Files episodes, this time this document is a full featured chapter.
As this german native document has been written at the end of 2006 a few new hot topics are missing, but still it is worth the read.

« The Book of Eli | Main | Taking Woodstock »
Kane and Lynch
Author: Kyle Ward
Genre: Action
Storyline: 4
Dialogue: 1
Characterization: 3
Writer's Potential: 2
Jump to: [Synopsis] [Comments]
Logline:An ex-CIA operative and a schizophrenic scientist are forced to work together to unravel the plans of corrupt government officials.
Synopsis:A grainy, security camera video shows ELIZA, 16, being forced by kidnappers to record a message for her father. She rambles about hating her father, and the video feed goes dead. KANE sits on a prison transport bus on its way to San Quentin. He holds an old, faded picture of Eliza. In flashback, we see how he got here: a man named COSGROVE convinces Kane to help kidnap Russian arms dealer VALENTIN, who recently made a deal with the CIA (who arrested him) — asylum in exchange for an encrypted chip called The Skeleton Key. They hook up with a group of Cosgrove's mercenaries, but before they have a chance to do anything, all hell breaks loose — a van explodes, and they're greeted with a hail of gunfire. In the midst of all this, a mercenary from the attacking (Russian) side grabs Valentin's briefcase with the chip. More explosions, followed by police sirens, lead Kane to hop onto a double-decker tour bus. The driver helps remove all the tourists from the top level, then starts driving. AGENT CARMIKAEL, riding in a police car, follows the bus, then climbs on the back and up to the top, where he confronts Kane. They both shoot at each other. Carmikael gets hit in the kneecap while Kane's cheek is grazed. Kane leaps off the bus, only to be cornered by more CIA agents. He gives himself up and is found guilty of treason and sentenced to death.
Back in the transport bus, LESTER LYNCH sits across from Kane, tapping rhythmically. Now it's his turn for a flashback: he worked as a janitor at a technology company. He hears strange voices that he can't control. His obnoxious boss harangues him, so Lynch beats the hell out of him with a mop handle, then slams his face into a Xerox machine multiple times. Lynch goes to a shrink and demands a stronger prescription. He goes home and tells his wife he quit his job. They have sex, and the next morning, he wakes up to find her dead and mutilated. A judge finds him guilty of murder and sentences him to death.
In the present, Lynch starts to shake. An annoyed GUARD gives Lynch his medication — two pills. Lynch lets one of them roll across to Kane, then mutters something about "The Seven" coming to get them, suggests Kane take the pill. Kane's dubious, but he takes the pill — and a black armored truck slams through the prison bus, killing have the people on it and tearing the bus apart, spilling all the bodies on the freeway. Soldiers try to grab Kane and Lynch, but Lynch tries to fight back but is injected with a tranquilizer. In a mysterious interrogation room, Cosgrove apologizes to Kane about Venezuela, but he's sending Kane on a new mission because he still needs the microchip. Kane doesn't want to cooperate, so Cosgrove shows him a video feed of Kane's wife, gagged and bound. Her cell has only 96 hours' worth of oxygen. Cosgrove tells Kane he's part of a group called "The Seven," then brings in Lynch, who will work as his partner. Kane has the spy skills; Lynch has the chip knowledge. Lynch had been hired for a government-funded experiment called "Black Charon," which used mentally unstabled people to act as human cryptograms. Only Lynch can decipher the Skeleton Key. Cosgrove shows Kane his target, RETOMOTO, who is now in possession of the chip. Kane says he'll do it if Cosgrove releases his wife, so Cosgrove shows the video of Eliza that opened the script. Kane's enraged, but he complies. Kane tries to escape, dragging Lynch with him. Cosgrove sends men after him, but Kane beats or kills all of them. Kane calls Cosgrove with a cell phone and says Lynch has now become his hostage, and if he does anything to Kane's family, Lynch dies.
At CIA headquarters, CARMIKAEL limps to a younger agent, JEFFRIES, who says Kane disappeared in the prison bus accident. Enraged, Carmikael tells him to put together a task force. They're going to San Francisco to investigate the crash themselves. Kane steals Lynch's pill bottle and asks him about The Skeleton Key. Lynch says it's familiar, but he can't remember much about his past. All he knows is that the chip is loaded with launch codes for ex-Soviet nukes and that he believes the men who experimented on him actually caused his mental illness — and killed his wife. Kane and Lynch get fake IDs from a contact Kane has upstate, then the board a plane for Tokyo, which is where Retomoto was last seen. A stewardess treats Lynch well, but he has a psychotic episode and ends up choking her and shoving a hot towel down her throat. Kane leaps in to apologize and blame the psychiatric board.
Carmikael and Jeffries show up on the scene of the crash and are berated by FBI Special Agent BRISTO for investigating a crime outside his jurisdiction. While Bristo rambles at him, Carmikael uses his finely honed hearing to both tune Carmikael out and listen to background chatter. He catches the name Lynch and, satisfied, leaves, telling Jeffries to dig up intel on Lynch. In Tokyo, Kane and Lynch set up in a cheap motel; Kane explains they're in the center of a yakuza hot spot, which will lead them to Retomoto. He explains his past with Retomoto — in South Korea, Retomoto seized a nuclear warhead and the CIA was brought in to retrieve it and kill Retomoto. At the last minute, they were told to stand down, bur Kane infiltrated anyway, getting nearly everyone on both sides killed, and Retomoto still got away. Watching the outside with binoculars, Kane spots a tubby American, HILDEBRANDT. They follow him to a bar. Lynch waits at the bar while Kane goes in back to get information about Retomoto out of Hildebrandt. He knows where Retomoto operates — Shibuya Tower — but doesn't know any of the details. He tells Kane to find Higgins in the red light district. Meanwhile, Lynch is approached by a prostitute who questions his sexuality when he turns her down, so Lynch kills everyone in the bar.
Kane and Lynch get out before the cops show up, and Lynch confesses to Kane that he's only sticking with him because he needs Kane's help finding the people who killed his wife. Agents find a lead for Carmikael: an angry stewardess filed a complaint with the psychiatric board after being attacked on a plane to Tokyo. At a noodle house, deep-cover nerd HIGGINS is met by Kane and Lynch. Higgins knows the details of how to get into Shibuya and reluctantly agrees to help. For collateral, they kidnap Retomoto's daughter and cut off her finger. Some high-wire acrobatics get them to the secure tower where Retomoto is. Kane kills Retomoto, they grab the chip, then after gunfights and a series of explosions, Kane and Lynch leap off the tower into a chopper flown by Higgins. Carmikael and Jeffries arrive at the airport just in time to see the Kane/Lynch exploits on the news. Higgins gains access to the chip, cracks its security. It starts streaming audio, which turns Lynch into a hypnotic decoder. Kane and Higgins realize that it's not the chip — Lynch is The Skeleton Key. The chip just helps him unscramble what's in his head.
Cosgrove taunts Eliza, who's feisty. Kane calls and tells him he has what Cosgrove wants, so let his wife and daughter go and he'll return Lynch. Cosgrove says he needs Lynch first, but Kane tries to push him. Cosgrove kills Kane's wife. Cosgrove gives Kane instructions to meet at the docks in Seattle. In Seattle, Kane and Lynch wait. Cosgrove presents Eliza, still bound and gagged. Cosgrove presses a gun to her temple. Lynch is puzzled to learn he's part of the exchange. Reluctantly, Kane hands over Lynch. Kane realizes Cosgrove is working for Valentin, realizes he's the one who sold Kane out in Caracas. Cosgrove fires two in Kane's chest, goes to shoot Eliza, but his gun is out of bullets. Cosgrove leaves Eliza with another man, BRECK, as he drags Lynch to a chopper.
Kane wills himself to regain consciousness, beats down Breck and gets Eliza back. Eliza yells at him, and Kane gives her a heartfelt apology for being a bad dad. Then, Breck regains consciousness and goes after Kane. They fight. Eventually, Kane kills Breck — and immediately they're swarmed by FBI agents. They arrest Kane, and as they drive along a bridge, the CIA sets up a fake construction operation and grabs Kane. Kane apologizes for shooting Carmikael when Cosgrove turned out to be the bad guy. Kane knows Cosgrove is headed to Alaska, so they get into a chopper. They land on an abandoned shipping port at the edge of the Arctic Circle. Almost single-handedly, Kane takes out the security and leaves a trail of bodies all the way to Valentine and Cosgrove. As Kane handles Valentine (Cosgrove runs), he instructs Lynch to destroy the chip. Lynch does as a vat of oil is poured into the ocean and ignited. Kane and Lynch run.
They tear through more of Cosgrove's men to get to the man himself. Cosgrove puts a gun to the back of Kane's head, then Lynch puts a gun to the back of Cosgrove's. Cosgrove warns Lynch that if he shoots, he'll never find out what happened to his wife. Lynch shoots. The FBI raids the area. Lynch disappears, but Kane stays and takes his medicine.
Six months later. Kane's at Leavenworth. He receives a letter from Eliza and a postcard from Venice. Kane looks at the postcard and finds it's from Lynch, who describes his love of the city. A guard tells Kane he has a visitor. It's Carmikael, saying they need a favor.
Comments:This is a mediocre action script with some decent set-pieces and a ridiculous, overly convoluted plot that still manages to lack any surprises. Entirely pilfered from better movies, the plot has a cobbled-together feel that makes the narrative flow as schizophrenic as Lynch is supposed to be. By far the weakest aspect is the Eliza pseudo-subplot; her video opens the script, creating the illusion that she will be important at some point in the script. She's not; Kane never mentions her — positively or negatively — except when Cosgrove is directly using her as a threat. We get no real sense that Kane cares about her, except in the general sense that a father would care about his daughter. She drifts out of the story for about 60 pages, comes back for another 10, then disappears again. She exists simply because the writer noticed every other action movie has some kind of domestic stakes, but Kane cares about as much for his daughter and wife (who's seemingly even less important to him) as he would for a stranger being held hostage.
Worse than that, why make the plot so complicated when, at the end of the day, this is a script about people beating the shit out of each other and/or shooting each other? The goofy microchip story has no emotional impact, barely makes sense, and doesn't really matter. If the writer streamlined everything, this would be much more satisfying.
At the risk of sounding overly harsh, the dialogue is atrocious. Every character — which ranges from a 16-year-old girl to middle-aged Japanese men — sounds like a sex-obsessed 13-year-old. The only exception is Lynch, who sounds like a 13-year-old who uses big words whose definitions he doesn't fully understand to make himself sound smarter; this would be a funny characteristic if it were the writer's intention, but Lynch is supposed to be some sort of insane genius, so it's just terrible dialogue.
The characters have a tiny bit of meat to them, but not much. Part of their problem is the bad dialogue, but most of it is that their personalities seem completely tied to the plot. They don't appear to have lives beyond what's happening in the story — even the hints of backstory they give tie directly to the current story. The writer flashes back to what leads these characters to prison, but I would have liked to see more of them just acting like people — hobbies, interests, something to make them a little more than bland action-movie clichés. We never get anything like that, which is a major disappointment.
I have to admit, despite the severity of the script's problems, it delivers on mindless action. Action fans might be disappointed with the incoherent resolution, but they will certainly enjoy the explosions, gunfights, and hand-to-hand combat. With big stars in the leads, it's sure to draw an audience.

Thefts from vehicles prompts warning from Goffstown police
A rash of car break-ins and thefts is prompting police to warn residents to secure their vehicles.
Car thefts have more than doubled from this time last year, from two last year to five within the last month, according to Goffstown Police Captain Robert Browne.
"Five in a month is certainly a drastic change for us," Browne said.
The most recent theft was that of a 2011 silver Honda Accord sedan from a driveway on Eden Street in the overnight hours of June 11.
Three of the previously stolen vehicles have been recovered, and police continue to investigate each incident.
In addition, Browne said the theft of items from motor vehicles is up by 158 percent, from 17 thefts last year to 44 so far this year.
The highest number of thefts has been in the Pinardville area, Browne said. Residents can help to reduce the number of thefts by taking simple precautions, he added, as several vehicles had keys left in them.
"These are total crimes of opportunity," Browne said. "This is a reminder to lock and secure all doors."
In a small town, Browne said, people are lulled into a false sense of security and should not leave any valuables or money inside a vehicle, and keep it locked at all times.
Police are investigating the remaining thefts and have a person of interest in one of them. Browne said alerts through Nixle and iNeighbor have been put out to residents to be on alert for any suspicious activity.
"We also know we need to put more patrol efforts in that area," Browne said, and additional officers will patrol the area in cars, on bikes and on foot.
Police have asked residents to contact them if they see any suspicious activity in their neighborhood. Anyone with information concerning the vehicle thefts is asked to contact the Goffstown Police Department at 497-4858.

I've suffered from depression and low self-confidence for as long as I can remember, and this summer I found someone unique, loving, and someone that has the ability to make me forget how much pain I am used to feeling on a daily basis. Within the past month or so we have been fighting, or more so,... Show More
Most Helpful Girl
i have this guy,he's a total sweetheart,he is almost as cool as me but the problem is he is insecure.
thats the only problem.he always say I'm a lier when I didnt.at first I plead no and explain my heart out just for him to understand that I did not lie,he always find something to prove I'm lying but I really didnt,like myspace,just about anything I had to cancel my myspace,but still he'd say it doesn't matter because you have other accounts anyway so it will never end.he gets way upset and screams and he gets me to scream back.uhh I know how you feel its just awful.
one time he was bitching about me lying again he said.this time I didn't scream or even show anger even if I was so annoyed.i just said "im not gonna explain myself over and over again,if you don't know how to listen to me then you ain't hearing anything from me anymore,think what you wanna think and make yourself mesireble but not me! I don't have to take your bullshit I didn't have a relationship with you just to be mesirable,you are not my father you are not anybody,you are just my boyfriend,you do not own me!" then I just ignore him the whole time,i didn't walk out I was there looking at him lestining and when I was wasnt asnwering back he just stopped.the more you argue the more they get mad.
so now its been a while since we fight.i learned lessons too.i learned what makes him insecure so I avoid all those stuff.and when he's happy I always tell him its not worth to fight over things that are pointless,we only have one goal is to have a successful happy relationship.and I talk to him as friend would,i listen when he's talking so he listens to me when I do.
we go out and hangout together as couples.its either around his friends or my friends.and do not talk bad stuff about him to your friends behind his back,keep evrything in the house between you and him.thats a respect,if you want him to trust you? earn it.if I able to do it you could to.always reassure him that you love him.call him at work just to say I love you babe can't wait for you to come home.it works! and I'm not saying I haven't been in myspace since then,no I'm still in and talk to my friends there but I make sure he won't find out so I delete history because even if I don't do nothing but just chatting he would think I have guys there and we don't want that.be true to him and some stuff would bother him so he doesn't need to know.no cheating at all.
patience is the key,the guy that trully loves you cannot resist your patience.they would just love you more.

Nexus 6 from AT&T accidentally revealed
Before your heart starts to skip a beat, know that this might have just been an innocent error. Either someone pressed the "Publish" button too soon or actually messed up in typing in details. Either way, those errors are leading to some hope that AT&T might have some space reserved for the Nexus 6, possibly immediately after its official launch even. If true, this would make the Nexus 6 the first ever Nexus smartphone that will be sold directly by the carrier.

We know that Android is popular, and recent polls show that Android is "winning" the race in sheer number of smartphones that are out there. Frequent readers will remember previous blog posts on Apple's MDM solutions where David Schuetz dives into some of the security concerns.
But what about Android? It seems to be following the way of the iPhone in that it becomes super popular as a consumer device, and only then do we start thinking about using it in an enterprise environment. Android has supported mobile device management (MDM) solutions for a long time now (since 2.1). Yet Android, until recently, is often considered ill-prepared for an enterprise environment.
Here's Your API. Good Luck
Android's MDM support comes in the way of the DevicePolicyManagement API. This allows developers to control things like password complexity, lockout timing, remote wipe, and remote lock. Standard MDM features right? But what about things like tracking apps that are installed on a device, keeping track of serial numbers, being able to recover lost devices? Yeah, it can do that but just like all of the other Android decisions they've made, Google has given you the ability to do it yourself and then they stepped back to watch the carnage. This means that while no official Android MDM solution exists, third parties are picking up the slack and rolling their own.
The MDM Recipes
I categorize third party MDM solutions into three unscientific groups: Cross-platform Android clients that use ActiveSync, native Android solutions, and cloud based solutions. Native clients, such as Google Apps, have created a complete solution tailored to Android devices. They take advantage of the DeviceManagementPolicy APIs and then add in some other features such as asset tracking, GPS location tracking, app auditing, and permission controls. They are not building upon any pre-existing technologies so while this sounds like the best solution, not many MDM providers are going this route because it's so specific to Android.
Cloud based MDM solutions (lets face it, it's just Good Technologies), will give a user access to all of the cloud services, and then remove them when the device is no longer compliant with a device policy or an employee leaves the company. You can probably see how it would be easier to just stop granting access to your enterprise services rather than attempting to wipe a device when it leaves a company.
The most popular solution by far is the ActiveSync based solutions. This is an MDM app that relies on ActiveSync for device management policies, and then adds in their own bells and whistles. Airwatch, for instance, is an ActiveSync solution that has added in asset tracking, app auditing, and a lot of other features. In fact, the most popular solution that I've seen is just enabling ActiveSync and calling it a day.
As a stand alone solution, ActiveSync will push out device polices that control passwords, idle timeouts, and provide a remote wipe capability. But the bells and whistles that you'll see with other solutions are nonexistent. The reason it's so popular is that there's minimal deployment time and for some environments it very low cost. Those organizations that have already implemented Exchange can enable ActiveSync services for smart phones and using using Android's built in "Corporate Email Client," it connects in and is ready to go.
MDM and ActiveSync
Why are we talking about ActiveSync when it comes to Google? The reason is that the Android Exchange client (AKA Corporiate Email Client) uses ActiveSync to pull down email, contacts, and calendar events from corporate networks since 2.1. But one of the features it has also implemented as part of ActiveSync protocol is password controls, remote wipe, and idle timeout.
So that's great – you have an Exchange environment, you enable ActiveSync, and you now have a mobile device management solution for Android devices. But what about those other feature we talked about; app management, asset tracking, GPS tracking. None of those features are there. Well it turns out that a lot of organizations believe that's enough. In talking with one of the local fortune 500 companies about how they manage their mobile policy, we found that they're using a native ActiveSync to implement a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) mobile policy. They had an Exchange environment, they wanted to allow employees to bring in their own devices to access corporate information, so they enabled ActiveSync and they were done.
Because this is such a popular implementation, it's also become a target for clients that would like to evade this policy. In the next post I'll talk about some specific problems that we'll run into.
MDM Communication With C2DM
Cloud 2 Device Messaging (C2DM) is Google's lightweight data push service. It's Android's answer to the Apple Push Notification Service or the Blackberry Push Service. These types of services are ways of pushing down information to an app as opposed to waiting for an app to pull data. A lot of the MDM providers use this solution to send down their device policies or remote commands. When a remote wipe command is issued from an organization, you don't want to wait for the app to issue a schedule update, you want that command to be sent as soon as a device has connectivity to something.
A coworker of mine is looking into the security concerns with C2DM but in this scenario, we're concerned that someone might be able to send a remote wipe to your phone without having administrative access.
Android's MDM solutions are up in the air which may be why a lot of people say that Android isn't really ready for the enterprise. With the latest Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android that supports policy controlled encryption, I think you can see Google pushing Android into enterprise environments much more.
This is a nice little info blurb about Android MDM and the underlying technologies but lets be honest, the real fun comes from attacking. The next Android MDM post will discuss some attack vectors and evasion techniques that may make you re-think how much you trust your MDM provider.

What's New in Version 1.5.11
This update comes with the following small improvements...:
- Shots can now be hidden individually
- Filenames are now appended with the Shot's creation date when dragged out so they don't replace shots with the same name (thank you, Günter)
...and squashes the following ghastly bugs:
- Fixed a bug where disabled system shortcuts were unavailable
- Fixed a bug with localizations - German now works again
- Removed some legacy code
- Fixed a crash when retrying to upload to ImageShack
- Fixed a bug where, when a shot was hidden and quickly shown again, it would vanish (also happened when dragging)
- 1.5.11: Fixes a bug in the german localization that would cause the Shots Browser to not be shown
- Known issue: sometimes, when closing a shot, it doesn't show up in the Shots Browser until a restart of ScreenFloat. I'm still looking into it.
Thank you for using ScreenFloat!
If you have a minute, please consider leaving a review on the Mac App Store - you would make my day.
Thank you :)
