We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
Is there more to life than money?
03 Aug 2011 17:02 GMT | Sport, Football, Latin America, Brazil, France
New Brazilian talent Neymar has been advised to follow in the footsteps of Pele by none other than Pele himself.
Brazil great Pele says in-demand compatriot should follow his example and stay with Santos rather than move to Europe.
The striker's performances for Santos have drawn comparisons with Pele at the same age and the 19-year-old has been linked to both Chelsea and Manchester City in the English Premier League.
However, 70-year-old Pele, who won three World Cups and spent virtually all his career at Santos, thinks Neymar would be best served by developing at home first.
"He can be a great player, he can be like (Lionel) Messi or Ronaldo, no doubt," Pele told reporters at an event in London on Tuesday to launch an opus for the New York Cosmos, where he ended his career.
"But I think it's a little complicated for him to move to a club in England or Italy at the moment. The marking is very tight there.
"But I think it's a little complicated for him to move to a club in England or Italy at the moment. The marking is very tight there"
"He would find that a little difficult because he's very young. The game is very physical in England and Italy. Maybe in Holland or France or even Spain it would be better for him."
With Brazil hosting the World Cup in 2014, Pele believes it would be good for his country's chances to keep Neymar away from the clutches of Europe's biggest clubs.
"I think it is very difficult to keep him in Brazil," Pele said.
"Santos is my team and he started there with us. I hope he stays there until more or less the 2014 World Cup but it will be a little difficult to keep him here.
"He hasn't reached his potential yet, but he is already an excellent player."
Downplays rift
Pele also played down his feud with Brazilian FA chief Ricardo Teixeira saying the most important thing was that his country stage a memorable World Cup in 2014.
Pele said he was confident Brazil's preparations to stage the tournament were on track despite some "scares" regarding stadiums and transport.
Pele, arguably the best player ever, was initially snubbed by Teixeira for the draw for the preliminary rounds of the World Cup in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday.
However, Pele did play a role after being appointed his country's international World Cup ambassador by Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff.
"Everybody has enemies, even when you don't know," Pele told reporters.
"The most important thing is that we have an excellent World Cup in Brazil. This doesn't affect the football, we are just going to work hard.
"(Teixeira) has some small problems with journalists but so does Mr Blatter and FIFA is still there. I just want to make it clear, I haven't had an argument with Teixeira. I respect him."
Earlier this year Pele said Brazil risked "embarrassment" after delays in building stadiums, particularly the Corinthians Stadium in Sao Paulo, and problems with improving the country's rickety transport system.
While still concerned, Pele sounded more upbeat on Tuesday.
"We were a little worried because as you know we worked hard for two years to get the vote for the World Cup then we had political problems, especially in Sao Paulo," he said.
"Until now Sao Paulo was a problem, whether we would have a game there, the final. We were worried about it because Sao Paulo is the capital of football in Brazil.
"But last week the president called me and we are working to get everything together."
Organisers say Sao Paulo will stage the tournament's opening match but work to enlarge the Corinthians stadium to the 60,000-capacity required by FIFA has been besieged with problems.

Can't stop nibbling all day? Worried your penchant for between-meal bites is ruining your diet?
Logic says if you don't want to end up super-sized, cut back on snacks. But - surprise - it turns out that swearing off between-meal eats can have a negative effect on your waistline: snacking may help you eat less in the long run.
"Studies show that people who avoid eating between meals may end up consuming more kilojoules overall," says Keri Glassman, author of The Snack Factor Diet. "When you're famished, your blood sugar is low and your defences are down, so you don't necessarily make the best choices."
To snack without adding bulk to your backside, fill the pantry with foods that have built-in willpower - and which will last you beyond the silly season. When you go shopping, pick bites that fall into these three super snacking categories for a no-gorge guarantee.
Just add air
Foods that are pumped full of air make your stomach feel inflated without giving you a belly that bulges as much as St Nick's sack of toys.
In a study published last year in the journal Appetite, Dr Barbara Rolls, author of The Volumetrics Eating Plan, served visitors to her US-based lab, either some crunchy cheese snacks or more aerated puffy cheese snacks. Those munching the puffier snacks consumed nearly 75 per cent more by volume, but they took in 20 per cent fewer kilojoules.
"When something is full of air, an equal amount of it looks bigger, so people tend to take in fewer kilojoules," says Dr Rolls.
So nosh on air-puffed snacks to eat more without your gut suffering the consequences - and you might even manage to stretch your snack over the entire Spicks and Specks Christmas special instead of blowing it all in the first five minutes.
Think thick
As far as your muffin top is concerned, all kilojoules are created equal. But, like your Uncle Dave when it comes to Chrissie presents, your brain plays favourites.
"Some liquids don't seem to trigger the same response in metabolism and hunger suppression that solids do," says Dr Susan Swithers of Purdue University's Ingestive Behavior Research Center in the US.
Sharon Natoli, nutrition expert, explains: "If you down kilojoule-containing liquids, such as sweetened soft drinks, cordials, juices or milk drinks, you still eat the same amount you would've done if the beverage had been kilojoule-free (like water or herbal tea)."
The exception for liquids is soup - this tends to fill you up, so it's a smart entree choice.
The good news is that scientists speculate thicker liquids, such as smoothies, are recognised as food by your brain's appetite centre, so they can help you get to that couldn't-eat-another-bite feeling.
"The more solid the food or beverage, the greater the filling power," says Natoli. And Dutch researchers have backed up the idea with a study published this year in the International Journal of Obesity.
After offering unlimited amounts of chocolate in three forms - milk, custard and a beverage with a consistency between the two - they found (in addition to, we bet, a lot of eager volunteers) that those who had the choc milk consumed 30 per cent more kilojoules than those who ate the custard. Meanwhile the mid-consistency mixture fared in the middle.
Spice up your life
You might think your relos can't stand the heat during festive feasts, but we think you should turn it up even more. Throw some spices into the mix - they're key ingredients for weight loss.
One study showed that spiking soup with a big dose of chilli led to an intake of fewer kilojoules in subsequent meals. Chilli may cause thermogenesis (your body literally heats up, burning a few extra kilojoules in the process.) Plus, the hot sensation slows you down:
"You simply can't eat spicy cuisine quickly," says nutritionist Judy Stern.
This means you've got time to realise you're full before you've finished a whole big meal.

Barfly's Pub, the new Rafters, is reviewed
We've been keeping a close eye on Barfly's Pub since owner Mike Leeds first mentioned it. It's finally open, and reviewed in today's paper.
Here's an excerpt:
"[Rafters] has been remade as a casual neighborhood bar with an ample beer menu and several wine options. Already, it's drawing small crowds, even on the Monday night I went.
Owner Michael Leeds bills it as an "upscale dive bar," but Barfly's still needs some time to develop the personality of a dive and spruce itself up to be "upscale."
This might be a question of time, and since the project is clearly a work of love for Leeds, Barfly's could eventually reach that goal."
The rest of the review is here.

A website compiling information about resources rural communities can use is making progress, according to the director of the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs.
"We have 297 programs focused on community and economic development from the various state agencies, federal agencies, and nonprofit organizations, and we were only about 34 percent up to date, as of 2012," Chris Merrett told the Governor's Rural Affairs Council. "Sept. 1 of this year, we have tallied 351 programs with 281 up-to-date for 80 percent."
What's more, Merrett's group – based at Western Illinois University – is conducting a survey. "We did this about three years ago, and we're doing another statewide poll of rural development issues," he says. "The kinds of questions we're asking have to do with community quality of life, access to infrastructure, access to health care, and a range of issues affecting rural communities."

A Modesty Proposal
How should Roger Federer—the greatest tennis player on earth—talk about his own greatness?
A reporter tried to trick him into candor by asking whether he'd ever played as well as he could and still lost a major. Tiger wasn't biting: "There are times I've put it together and I've had some pretty good margins of victory. Just feel that overall my game over the years, it's gotten better and become more consistent. And when I'm playing well, I usually don't make that many mistakes."
Tiger's understated but deadly bite comes out only when some upstart tries to suggest his dominance may be eroding. At the end of 2006, coming off knee surgery, Ernie Els had the temerity to suggest that he might soon "start giving Tiger a run for his money." Since that pronouncement, Els has won three tournaments worldwide; Woods has won 16 PGA Tour titles in the last three years. Last week, Tiger stuck the knife in: "Ernie is not a big worker physically, and that's one of the things that you have to do with an ACL repair is you've got to really do a lot of work. I feel pretty good with what I've done, and I think Ernie—he could have worked a little bit harder."
Compared with his buddy Tiger, Federer is free of rancor. Indeed, I would say he's set a new standard of blending graciousness and humility with a candid acknowledgment of his own excellence. I'd imagine this has something to do with Federer's ignorance of American aw-shucks-ism, and partly with his superb English not being quite superb enough to allow him to comfortably dissemble.
In any case, the Federer approach was on full view in July, when he beat Andy Roddick in the Wimbledon final for his sixth triumph in the tournament and his 15th Grand Slam title—the most ever. First, he slipped into a white warm-up jacket with the number "15" embroidered on the back—expressing both his questionable sartorial taste and his pre-match confidence that he would prevail.
He started by acknowledging his foe. "Don't be too sad," he told Roddick. "I went through some rough ones as well, one on this court last year." That was when his archrival, Rafael Nadal, beat him in five excruciating sets. "I came back and won."
Roddick, standing to the side, ruefully cracked that Federer had already won five times before that.
Federer laughed. "I won five, but still, it hurts. … Unfortunately, in tennis, there has to be a winner sometimes, and today I was on the lucky side."
Lucky—of course, it's the ultimate word in false modesty. But from Federer's lips, it sounded real. Yes, he had just set the record for Grand Slam titles, but only after losing to Nadal repeatedly—Federer had even been reduced to tears a few months earlier after losing in the Australian Open. During his Wimbledon speech, then, Federer was able to convincingly express two seemingly contradictory ideas: He was the greatest of all time, and the luckiest man on earth.

Witness the Beauty of Yosemite National Park
Monday, December 20, 2010
Yosemite National Park is located in East Central California. Yosemite was one of the first wilderness parks in the United States. The park receives over 3.7 million visitors each year! Yosemite is world renowned for its stunning granite cliffs, magnificent waterfalls, clean streams, Giant Sequoia groves, and abundance of biological diversity.
Yosemite is one of the largest and most complete habitat blocks in the Sierra Nevada. The park supports a spectacular diversity of plants and animals. Approximately 95% of the park is designated wilderness. Of California's thousands of plant species, about 50% occur in the Sierra Nevada and more than 20% within Yosemite alone. A relatively high diversity of wildlife species are supported because of the relatively mild climate. Some types of wildlife typically found in the park include bear, bobcat, fox, deer, skink, woodpecker, owl, and many more!

Lawmen are waiting for autopsy and additional toxicology reports, which they expect to confirm their suspicions of how a Pitt County man died.
Pitt County Sheriff's officials reported Friday afternoon the body found beside a Pitt County roadway Friday morning was that of Brian Green Dollison, age 21, of Pitt County. He has family in Grimesland.
Officials tell us they believe Dollison died of a drug overdose at another location, and his body was most likely dumped off Highway 264 bypass. The body was found near the intersection of N.C. 43 and U.S. 264.
Lawmen tell WITN the person who dumped the body could face a misdemeanor charge of concealing a death.
We'll keep you posted on their investigation.
The Pitt County Sheriff's Office is investigating the discovery of a body on the side of U.S. 264 bypass, which is named the Martin Luther King Jr. Highway.
Chief James Tripp tells WITN the case is now being treated as a homicide. Tripp says a passerby spotted the body around 7 a.m. Friday. The body was found near the intersection of N.C. 43 and U.S. 264.
Chief Tripp says the body is that of a black man, appearing to be in his teens or early twenties. Lawmen say they are now working on trying to identify the victim.
Sheriff Mac Manning says they now know the identity of the murder victim and deputies will release that information at a 2:00 p.m. news conference.

The girl who says no to number two on the potty
My 3-year-old will pee in the toilet, but she's terrified to have a bowel movement on the potty. She is in 'big girl pants' throughout the day, but when she has to poop she wants a diaper. What should I do?

My daughter is 3 1/2 years old and she refuses to poop on the potty. She wears big girl pants day and night. She just wants to poop in a diaper and my husband and I are fine with this. I encourage her to go on the toilet and tell her she is too big for diapers however she still refuses. Occasionally embarrassment will set in and she hides in her bedroom when her big brother or sister's friends are at our house. I am 44 years old and have gone through this process twice before. With my first daughter she went 11 days without pooping and it was a nightmare for all of us. With my son I tried everything from the poop fairy wanting to bring gifts to having him help me wash out his soiled underwear. With both of my older children by the time they had their 4th birthday they were totally trained and never had accidents. They pooped on the potty when THEY were ready. No biggie, don't stress over it. She'll do it when she is ready. My opinion only.posted 02/13/2007 by deekay13
You may not like the idea of rewards at all, but when my 3 year old had a back-track and started pooping in her pants after several months of using the potty (she had no issues with pee, either, but would hide in her room or under the table for b.m.), I put a chart on the wall and drew frownie faces and smiley faces depending on what she did and told her that when the frownie faces were gone and it was just smileys she would get a doll she'd been coveting at the store. It took about a week to change the ratio of frowns/smiles and another 10 days of all smiles, but we only had two accidents after the doll was purchased. I never got angry, but made it clear that I knew she could do this. I know it's a little different if she's never gone in the potty at all, but maybe it's something to consider. Good luck!posted 02/13/2007 by aum0
Angela, I had the same exact problem with my 3-year-old until very recently, too. The thing that finally made her change her mind? She got constipated. When she realized that if her poop wasn't soft, it was hard to push out into the diaper and, as she put it, "got stuck" and was uncomfortable. It helped her come to terms with two important lessons we had been trying to teach: 1) pooping into the potty is easy and just falls right out without getting stuck or messy; and 2) drinking lots of water keeps your poop soft and your body healthy. It also helped for us to have a toddler-sized training toilet for her with the I-can-do-it-myself wet wipes next to it. This way, she was able to have her feet on the ground, which helped her imitate her usual squatting position. It was less intimidating than being way high up (and worried about falling in) on her kid-sized adaptation seat for the grown-up toilet, too. Good luck, and have patience!posted 02/13/2007 by penguinmommy
Annette, Congrats on success with your child. He obviously respects the leadership of your husband and doesn't need all the gimmicks and rewards. Not that you don't or haven't given them, but I, like a few others, feel it should be a treat, but not a reward advertised beforehand--a bribe. Your husband putting his foot down puts him as the leader from the start. Your child can now learn to respect your husband's judgement and to trust and obey in areas even where his FEAR would otherwise prevent his OBEDIENCE. The stakes are higher later. Obedience can save his life. A man once told his son to jump out of the burning house and into his arms. The boy did not obey and said, "No, I'm going back down the stairs." They begged and pleaded for him not to go back down the stairs, but to jump instead. The boy did not trust his fathers judgement and went away from the window and down the stairs. It was the last time his father ever saw him. Please congratulate your husband. It will help set up the boys future to trust and obey even when fearful or not willing. With a father like that, your son may well be more likely to be one who would jump from the burning house into your husband's arms. ...How many minutes did the poor boy have to sit on the potty? How cruel...That's LOVE LOVE LOVE.posted 02/13/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
My son did the same thing. We did not push him to use the toilet but we had a few rules. He could wear a diaper for the BM but he had to stay in the bathroom. After doing this for awhile we told him he could wear the diaper but he had to sit on the toilet while pooping. We gradually loosened the diaper and he was able to poop directly into the toilet. Hope this helpsposted 02/13/2007 by Tammysue37
My son struggled with the same issue until he was close to his 4th birthday! What finally helped him, was letting him put on a pull-up or diaper to have a BM, then having him sit on the potty to go. After a few times, I would open up the pull-up after he had a BM so it would "drop" into the potty. Then progressing to opening up the pull-up while he was sitting on the potty before he had a BM...then he was ready for no pull-up at all!posted 02/13/2007 by mama_rachel
Because it's a fear, I'd say it's important to take her seriously, so let her use the diaper if she wants. However, in order to encourage her to eventually use the potty for pooping too, I'd have her sit on the toilet/potty with her diaper on while she poops. This might help her to build a helpful, non-negative association between poop and potty. You could even take off the diaper while she is still sitting there and let the diaper contents fall in so she sees there's nothing wrong with it. This too shall pass! :) Good luck!posted 02/13/2007 by JLGirl617
I am in the same situation with my son. I'd like to know what works too. He will pee and does not have accidents but still uses a diaper to poop. I've tried bribary, rewards, extreme praise, but no luck. I even have him take care of cleaning himself and putting the poop in the potty. You are not alone. My son is also 3. I know that time will help, but he starts JK in September and I'm a liitle nervous, but I don't want to push him and risk turning him off the potty entirely.posted 02/13/2007 by fiveam
My dd (2yrs old) was the same!! We couldn't understand why she wouldn't poo on the potty or the toilet! We then thought it could be seeing the poo or the sensation. We just let her go with out pants for a few days, then we realised she had not pooed for 3/4 days. As soon as we put the nappy on she did it, then wanted to go on the toilet again to wee!! We had no idea how to get around it and all I can say is bring the potty to the lounge/ kitchen, let her see it and praise her if she goes near it or sits on it, even when she doesn't do anything. It is very frustrating... but she will eventually do it!! My daughter wears knickers overnight and calls out to us to take her to the toilet. We have had only a few accidents, since she decided she was going to "big girl undies". I also found telling her Mummy, grandma, any older friends, cousins that go to the toilet, helps. Keep telling her to go to kindergarten you need to wear big girl knickers, you could take her to public toilets with you just hoping she may do it and maybe that will help her along. All kids are different and noboby can predict when they will be ready to go do no.2's or overnight!! Hang in there!! Soon you will be unhappy about having to see every public toilet everywhere you go!! Good luck!!posted 02/13/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
my son was the same way, what we ended up doing was buying him a potty chair that sits on the floor, he was a little more comfortable going in the smaller potty, it took a couple of months then he was in the big potty, we also kept reminding him that he is a big boy...posted 02/13/2007 by a BabyCenter Member

My house seems to be in a protected little vortex-- there's been storms here for a couple of weeks that I don't notice inside, and now an earthquake doesn't phase me... I'll see if some of the magic can be siphoned off to the coast for you--- Unless Irene makes a beeline from Charleston to Charlotte, then I'm keepin' all of the hoo-doo here!

Well, I was going to ask if you are battened down for Irene, but first I wanna ask if you got shook up this afternoon. Felt nothing here in Charlotte, actually didn't know about it until I turned on the news. Are you ready in case the storm veers your way?

Scotland sounds nice... But if'n I had to stay in the States, I sometimes find myself hankerin't for a skitter off to Seattle. In the meantime, I've off to a weekend camping trip in the Virginia mountains with a bunch o' hippies; so's I'm escaping civ-ill-ization, if not the heat!

My mom was an Oakie, my dad from Galveston. His father's family came from Tennessee to Texas; his mom's family were Jacksons that claimed heritage to Stonewall. I was conceived in Shreveport before dad got the transfer to Chicago... Now, if I told people I was born in London or Paris, I would have still been considered Southern--- but just because I was "hatched" in the north...... *sigh*

Amen to heat hating. It's strange how all of my heritage is southern, but my body type seems made for northern climes. I think Spirit tried to help me by having my father working in Chicago when I was born... then fate and my physiology was cheated by a transfer to HOTlanta... So here I've been, raised out of my element and having to fight off being a "Yankee" for the crime of spending less than six months of my young life in enemy territory.

We've finally gotten a break from the heat here, it's actually at or below 90 all week. Hope you are getting some relief as well, since I notice a lot of our breeze and rain has been coming from the coast.

Artist Of The Week: Robin Janásek
- 4 November 2010
- Web Design
- This post was written exclusively for PV.M Garage by lukas
- Comments (2)»
Robin Janásek is a photographer and graphic designer from Czech Republic. He's already been included in a former group interview here on PVMGarage.
Could you please introduce yourself?
Hi, my name is Robin Janásek. I'm 19 years old graphic designer from Czech Republic. And I like cigarette smoke… in art… and… in overall.
You've been featured in a group interview back in spring, where you told something about your expectations. What has changed since then?
Well, at this moment I'm in the middle of fulfilling them. I am about to start a design company with my friend and colleague, so currently we're stuck up in paperwork. But it's definitely on a good way. Other than that, I'm having my first exhibition at the end of October, which will showcase my new series called ap.ART. It's the first real exhibition with printed artworks, so I'm very excited about it and I hope I'll get some feedback to it. The series will also be available online, probably at the beginning of November.
"Junction", an exclusive preview of Robin's new series
Your style is often considered to be "minimalistic". Is it nothing but minimalistic? How would you describe your style?
Minimalism is definitely one of the main elements in my style, although in the last few months I tended to use more experimental things in artworks, which sometimes push the minimalistic elements to the background. So, at the moment, I would describe my style as, let's say, experimental abstract style with elements of minimalism and absurdity. But people like to simplify things, so that's probably why I'm considered to be just minimalistic.
Do you only do graphical design or also other kinds of design?
In the last few months I've started to do webdesign a bit, trying to learn new methods now, as it's very different from other works I used to create. And other than that, I've been working on the whole design of Festiválek bez bojů a válek this year, which consisted of several print designs and also photographies from the festival. We needed to stick to a monochromatic scheme due to finances, but we did our best to get as much as we could from it.
Would you consider the Czech Republic, where you are from, as a good place for designers? Is there actually a certain "Slovenian", "Slavic", or maybe even Czech style?
Well, to be honest I don't consider myself as a part of any Czech design community, so I can't really tell. I know few designers here, who are doing very different styles. And I like that. I wouldn't be happy if I had to divide design styles by countries or specific areas.
Could you please describe your photographical work? How important is minimalism there?
I'm quite a novice on the photographical field, and I must sincerely say, that I've never study photography at all. So, when it comes to it, I'm shooting according to my feelings and again, I'm trying to experiment with many things, which leads to a pretty chaotic portfolio. I also like to link photography and design together, which is very clear especially in the new ap.ART series. And about minimalism.. yea. Although probably not that much as in graphic design, but still, it's one of the elements I like to use for its clear message to viewers.
What's your opinion about differences/similarities between graphic design and photography?
As I stated above, I like to link these two together. There's definitely a lot of differences. In my opinion, graphic design represents a cleaner way to represent a certain message while photography can give the same message a more emotional feeling and atmosphere. Therefore, finding a compromise between graphic design and photography is the best way to state my opinions and (as people tell me, often too deeply) hidden messages. And experimenting with those compromises, pushing them more to photography and then back to graphic design – that's just amazing fun.
What are your major sources of inspiration, both for photography and graphic design?
I believe we've talked about this last time. Mainly people who are close to me. Not that I would look on them and get it, it's just the way they act and the way they change me throughout the time. It's nice to think of a certain person and have several ideas in your head within few seconds. And other thing that works for me.. as with almost everything else, if I'm looking for inspiration, I usually won't find it. If I'm not looking, it always finds me itself.
Who is amongst your idols – again, both in photography and graphic design?
I'll start with graphic design, as it's still my primary area, and there I guess it would be mainly Kevin Minnis, who influented me a lot in the way I do graphic design and in few important elements I'm using… and then Parker Gibson, who is doing incredible abstract artworks with lovable colour schemes. Amongst photographers, it would be Gordon McBryde, whose photos leave me speachless for a pretty long time. I really like each and every photo he makes and that's a thing I can't say about anyone else. Also, although I don't have many designers around me, there's plenty of good photographers, who are both idols and sources of inspiration to me, mainly Alena Vítková and Eva Tajovská. These two have really great influence on my current photo works.
Any other thoughts you want to share with the readers? What would you suggest to persons that are just starting with photography/graphic design?
Uuhm, I'd like to say thanks to everyone, who has been supporting me for the last two years and also to those who will be supporting me in the future, as without them I'd definitely won't be here writing these lines and creating what I'm creating. And suggestions? Well, be sure to enjoy creating and.. find your own ways of doing things, as manuals and step-by-step tutorials will never work 100%. And keep in mind that there are always great amounts of people who won't like what you do, so don't change your ways just because few people tell you your artworks suck. A lot of people are affected by this nowadays in my opinion and that's definitely not good for the future.

3. Actually using real firewalls meaningfully needs a level of maturity
which very few enterprises possess.
a) As we all know, the firewall operator is the one who should chase
down programming bugs at the end of the day simply because s/he is in
the position to see all parts of the puzzle. It is a big burden, and
easier just to allow anything through than make a real solution. And the
one who should solve the problem is not the firewall operator. You need
a very strong exception management procedure to handle only that aspect
(ITIL as used today is just not enough for this). And we were talking
about only simple breaches of the protocol. It happens everywhere, the
http proxy to the outer world is being a prominent example of how
impossible this mission could get.
There are some right things happening, though. I see many firewalls are now
capable of dealing with http based appliactions quite complex ways.
Looks like FOSS is lagging behind again (except WAF part) :-(
the GPL side. Because open source is about community, and reaching
critical mass is very hard, especially if you come with a nich? product
aimed at the enterprise. This is a feat neither FWTK nor Zorp have been
able to reach.
Quite amazing, but fwtk (old TIS once) was there once. But it was 15 years ago :-(
Easy to use "firewall-oriented" Unix toolboxes like Smoothwall, Shorewall, IPCop, m0n0wall etc
have reached that quite easy, but they are not really "aimed at the enterprise",
they are aimed to be user-friendly at low end/soho. I was referring to it as "cheapo crap",
well, it sounds too rude, but it was just intended to describe this positioning.
Maybe I should start with designing simple kick-start tools for newbies? Will it help?
the biggest problem is that newbies don't realize they need this sort of thing. they keep hearing the mantra that a firewall is just a packet filter (possibly with 'deep packet inspection' and that the firewall should _not_ be doing anything else, anything else is the job of a separate box, be it a WAF (which they don't think is a firewall, even though the F stands for firewall), IPS, or XML filter.
6. The world is changing. This means that new buzzwords coming up,
followed dutifully by the market. Fortunately new buzzwords usually mean
the same old things. Those ideas which have been too immature 20 years
ago, reemerge later in a different name and shape. You are looking for
application level firewall? Look at "xml firewall" and "SOA firewall".
They are out there. Yes, they are specialized into a very tiny subset of
the problem space (and the rest is still uncovered), but maybe that is
the most important part anyway.
XML/SOA firewalls were expected to have great future, but they are useless unless you
have detailed system design documents with data flow described in the tiniest details and
you are ready to spend about 10% of resources (or even more) used to implement the system
itself on security related issues.
In real world it means "almost never".
Some enterprises buy it anyways, because "XML firewall" sounds cool.
even for WAF, IPS, and XML filters, there is the huge problem of figuring out how what to configure them to allow. What's needed is tools that can look at samples of 'good' traffic and create the rules to match (and do it in such a way that the rules learned from dev/QA can be easily used in production rather than having to learn what's 'normal' in an environment where hostile traffic is common)

These homeowners have been fighting this intrusion for over 10 years. His jolly little editorial (Journal, April 13) assumes that their fears are trivial. Would he then openly welcome a Wal-Mart and 1,500 cars in his plush neighborhood? I think not. He would add "none of the above" to his cutesy poll. He sides with Jim Conkey, who in his full-page PR ad claims his project conforms to the local redevelopment plan. By now everyone who has read Jim Ruffalo's column knows that the Redevelopment Board and the Board of Supervisors are one and the same. Does this mean that the developer thinks he has the supervisors "in his pocket?" I sure hope not! Ask the four homeowners' associations that surround the proposed location how they would vote on your little poll and why they are willing to fight this project through to the bitter end.

30,000 Acres of Central Valley Winegrapes May Go Away Soon
Feb 2003 Issue of Wine Business Monthly
Allied Grape Growers president Nat DiBuduo said that an estimated 30,000 acres of wine grapes and another 25,000 vineyard acres of Thompson Seedless grapes will have been pulled out of the ground in California's San Joaquin Valley by the end of this year. The "best guess" estimate was made following an informal survey and after extensive discussions with growers who are logging pullouts. Nobody knows how many acres of vines will ultimately be removed.There were about 480,000 bearing and another ...

Vietnam vet honors veterans of all wars
November 6, 2009
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - Twenty-three years, nine months and 14 days. That's the total time spent in service by Tom Dosier, a retired master sergeant, infantryman and former Fort Bragg paratrooper whose career included two tours in Vietnam and one deployment with the XVIII Airborne Corps during Operation Desert Storm.
Dosier joined the Army in 1966 at the age of 20, from his home state of New Jersey. He willingly joined at a time when men his age were being drafted. His first duty station was Alaska and, in 1968, he went to Vietnam for the first time.
After completing his tour, Dosier left the military. He said the choice seemed right at the time, but when he got home, there were few people who could share what he experienced and the majority of his friends either joined or got drafted. So, he quickly rejoined the Army and went back to Vietnam. After finishing that tour, he got out again, but then thought better of it when he realized he had already served six years and just had 14 more to go. Through it all, he remained an infantryman.
"I was an infantryman my entire career; I served as a recruiter and an EO (equal opportunity) NCO, but I was always infantry. I liked infantry. You got to travel, always see something different and the camaraderie and the friends I made there is something I will always carry with me," said Dosier.
He said the life of an infantryman is one that remains the same throughout the generations of the military.
"The job of infantry Soldiers doesn't change much," he said. "You're always training and preparing for something. The rules of the Army may change - we used to not be able to stop in fatigues to fill up with gas. If we did, we'd get an Article 15. We couldn't to the PX during the day. But the mission doesn't change, especially the mission of an infantry Soldier."
While the mission may never change, the equipment and technology the Soldiers use may change slightly.
"There have been a lot of changes to weapons and equipment since I was in. I remember hearing someone talking about the new equipment being lighter, but the Soldiers have to carry more of it. One hundred pounds of heavy equipment is the same as 100 pounds of light equipment when you're having to carry it," he said.
On Fort Bragg, Dosier served with the 2nd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment; as the first sergeant of Company A, 1st Bn. 504th PIR; and as the S-3 operations NCO with XVIII Abn. Corps.
He said being a paratrooper and serving in Vietnam shaped who he is today.
"There's a theory that your personality is fully developed by the time you turn 18, unless you have a significant emotional experience that changes it. War is a significant emotional experience," said Dosier.
"It's one of those things that will stick with you and affect what you think. Vietnam did that to a lot of people and that is what war is doing to a lot of Soldiers today."
Dosier said it is important for veterans to not turn their backs on newer vets.
"People tend to judge your status as a veteran based on the number of casualties, that doesn't matter. These young Soldiers are doing a difficult job. When a Soldier is living the war or sees someone next to them die, it has the same effect on you. It doesn't matter if 25,000 people are killed or just one, it changes you," he said.
The former paratrooper makes sure today's Soldiers know that someone cares for them and is willing to listen, sharing experiences, memories and knowledge. He is a member of the local 173rd Abn. Brigade Association. The 173rd, stationed out of Vicenza, Italy, is one of the many units he was assigned to during his career.
The association adopted 2nd Bn., 503rd Inf. Regt. and 3rd Bn., 319th Airborne Field Artillery Regt., both currently deployed to Afghanistan. They folded pocket flags for the paratroopers of the 503rd and participate in the Heritage Days for the 319th AFAR, which was the artillery unit for the 173rd Abn. Bde. in Vietnam.
The 173rd Abn. Bde. Association meets the fourth Tuesday of every month, at 7:30 p.m., at the 82nd Abn. Div. clubhouse on Johnson Street. Dosier invites anyone interested to stop by.

The search for an 8-year-old Bethel boy missing Monday night ended successfully. He was eventually found hiding in the AC store, but that was after a long search effort by Bethel police, fire department staff, and search and rescue volunteers.
The boy was reported missing from the Pentecostal Church area at approx 8:30 p.m. The child was not wearing a coat at the time and had supposedly gone to the car to wait for his father. When the father went to his car only a few minutes later, the child was not there. Officers searched the church area to no avail. The family said other search areas could include Dull Lake and AC store area and those areas were also searched, but the child was not found.
Search and Rescue and additional officers were notified and responded. Search volunteers, police, and fire units used thermal imaging to check areas of known friends and family. Upon further inspection of the AC store, employees began a tape review of the store security cameras and saw the boy entering the building. Officers and store staff began another search of the store and found the 8-year-old hiding there. The juvenile was released to his father.
Bethel police want to thank Search and Rescue, the Fire Department, and AC store manager David Hicks for help in the search effort.

From Ty's Prize to Hale Mary: Top 10 games in LaVell Edwards/Cougar Stadium history
The Miami Hurricanes came into Cougar Stadium as defending national champions and ranked No. 1 in the country. That didn't deter BYU from pulling the 28-21 upset in an electric atmosphere.
Miami entered the contest as a 13½-point favorite, and early on, the Hurricanes led 7-0. Ty Detmer and the Cougars rallied, scoring on a pair of touchdown passes and an Earl Kauffman field goal to head into halftime up 17-14.
After the Hurricanes scored first in the third quarter to go back up 21-17, the BYU offense strung together 11 points the remainder of the quarter — including a touchdown pass from Detmer to Mike Salido — to give the Cougars the 28-21 lead heading into the final stanza. The BYU defense stood tall, preserving the Cougar lead to seal the win.
Detmer used this victory to jumpstart his Heisman Trophy winning campaign that season, as the offense rolled up 500 yards and overcame five turnovers. The defense also came up big, including knocking a pair of passes away near the goal line late in the contest and holding Miami quarterback Craig Erickson to 299 passing yards and one interception.
"The victory was the most important in Brigham Young history," Ed Sherman of the Chicago Tribune wrote, according to the Deseret News archives. "Even if Brigham Young doesn't win the title, it captured something equally as important Saturday: respect. It didn't come after the 1984 national championship, because then BYU was criticized for playing an easy schedule. Indeed, the Cougars didn't beat a ranked team that year. Brigham Young did Saturday. And it opened many eyes throughout the nation."

They were then ranked a top 20 team. Their coach told the press he would walk back to Texas if BYU beat them. Carter threw 2 TDs in first minutes and had 599 yards in a 53-33 BYU win! That win was more important than several of the wins over Utah on the list, although memorable but less significant. Also the 28-21 win over a highly ranked Air Force with two Y kick-off returns for touchdowns - there were some important games against them with national consequences.

I'd have put the Hall to George TD pass against the Utes as #2. Hall said that he hated the Utes. I'm an alum of the U and I can't stand the U sports teams either.

However there were some stinkers over the years and I recall Wyoming coming into the stadium and beating BYU and I had a long drive back to So Cal that night feeling I had been defiled somehow--felt the refs had taken the game away from the Cougars with what then were frequent holding calls among other indignities. But I'll be at the game v Houston on the 11th this year; go Cougars.

It took me to the end of 2012 when I was going through relationship problems that I finally started to treat myself better and not wake up just to eat.

I keep my prior post as a reminder to myself. 2013 is here......and I have totally gave up on a "Diet". It took me to the end of 2012 when I was going through relationship problems that I finally started to treat myself better and not wake up just to eat. Each day I'm finding a little more of myself, and even though everything I discover isn't good I know that I don't have to run to food to medicate myself. For me, I found a few things that curb my appetite for sweets (which is my biggest problem) so now I'm just choosing things I like to eat and play games with myself to see what the scale is going to do each day. So here's to a year of self discovery, and may I leave 2013 a better person.......not just on the scale.
Jan. 2013. ** 367.2lbs**
"Tired of a Diet, Ready to Change my LIFE
in 2012"
I felt it was time to update my page. Over and Over I was dieting with no type of success. I bought the Spark book yet failed to my one change to my eating habits........that was until now. I have been introduced to fruit and vegetable smoothies. To be honest I didn't want to try that either but I gave my coworker my word that I would try it. Well I love it! it's the first thing that makes me feel like i'm doing something good for myself. I knew I was lacking my daily vegetables and it is a quick and easy way to get them in so I went for it. This is the first thing that i'm going to adapt in my life and I say that because it's been changing my choices for the rest of the day. I'm getting satisfied with normal portions of food, and I don't want to eat all through the night. I feel the rest of the year will look up for me. I'll keep you posted.
**2011 Will be my year to deal with the obstacles that hold me back!**
I've been thinking this last week or so "what do I want to do with my life?" and the answer is "I want to live healthier". I know I can do it. so now i'm going to pull out all the tricks of the trade that me to become a better person and make those tricks the "lifestyle" change to rid myself of this "bubble" that i'm in.
My goals are fairly simple:
1) Cleaner eating; If I don't know what's in it....then don't put it in my mouth.
2) Let my hunger/ not my head control my meal times.
3) Give 30 minutes to myself each day for cardio.
4) Strength Training at least 3 times a week.
5) Become active on Spark.
6) Love Myself More Than I Love Anybody Else!!
With doing these things I expect to lose 10lbs per month. I don't care to weigh myself each week because I act "Normal"(ha ha) when I see the scale go down, like I can eat whatever I want......That's not an option for me, so I'll weigh in once a month.
There's also fitness accomplishments that's posted at the YMCA each month. There's one for most cardio minutes, most consective workout days, most calories burned and most weight lifted........I chose that the goal I'll go for is the most weight lifted and I will be Number 1 come February. Currently the weight stands at 489,000lbs. Which seems like a lot (it is actually), yet it's not unrealistic for me. So i've done the calculations for the month to top that and that will be my main focus for January.
That's all I have for now because I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.
There's a beautiful woman under this weight.......It's time for her to stand up!!
(Below is my prior blog with title, didn't want to erase it)
I'm starting over again!!!!!
I let my weight creep back on me.All the work I did gone!....and the depression sank in. Now i'm ready to put the foot work in for me and keeping my food journal up to date and honest is the way i'm going to get there. I'll be 40 August 10th and i'm tired. I need all the support on here that I can get .
You know I had a weight problem most of my life. I was always bigger than the other kids. Back then it wasn't a problem I had plenty of friends and a good childhood (despite some skeletons).
As I got older I had a son at 15, a daughter at 19 and moved into my own place that same year. My weight as over 200 maybe 225 by then but I was so popular in town that it didn't matter. I must admit the kids father was verbally abusive and let me know how big I was at every arguement. If it wasn't for the support of family & friends my self esteem might have been gone.
But for me there was also a probem with having esteem. My uattitude was "I was beautiful no matter what!" and I held on to that a long time-The problem with that is that I was holding my head so high for so long I never looked down to see how big I was really getting. Before you knew it I was pushing 250 then 260 then 270 telling myself that I wasn't going to get any bigger and eating out after I found out that I did. Of course I tried all types of diets and diet products through all of this. It took some years before I hit 300 but once I did it wasn't that long before those last 42 settle on my hips.At that point I had enough I refuse to see 350 and I meant it. I love to dance but I could barely get through a song. My lab coat would only button 3 of the 5 buttons and I started to feel sloppy in anything that I wore.
So I started walking-then "The grind" workout tapes since I love to dance a few months later I joined a gym and the weight started coming off. While doing this I read everything I could about eating (thinking that would find an easy way -I didn't) I started "The biggest loser" weight loss pool at work (I won second place) and after that I got sick. Blood pressure dropped to the point where I would pass out. This went on for 2 months and no one still could not figure out to this day why that happened. ( Oh! I forgot to add that I had high blood pressure at 30 and a Heart Attack at 31 in which 2 stents were placed in my heart. It was so mild I drove myself to the hospital. quit smoking 4 months later). I came back to work weighing 259lbs with my head in the clouds wanting to lose 17 more so I can hit the 100 mark but eating like I can have anything I want. Well needless to say I didn't get any lower and I started my climb back to my new high point of 323lbs. In october me & my girlfriend decided on a buddy system of calling each other for motivation the next my sister joined so we talk and tell each other what we been doing. I signed up for "sparkpeople" on Nov 26 2006 But didn't come back until January 1st 2007 only because I was working much that I never had time to explore. Now i'm here and I love it!
So i'm going to forgive myself for hurting me. Ask God to do with me as he sees fit and walk right.

Avoid Lamborghinis When Buying Horses For Sale
By: Nick Morgan |
Would you visit a vehicle auction and, let's presume that money isn't any problem, get a Ferrari for your 17-year-old who's recently passed her or his driving licence examination? If you haven't taken leave of one's own senses, the response could be, obviously, in the negative. Of course it seems a silly question to those people who fully understand the fact that the automobile is really a high-performance supercar, not really suited to an individual with minimum practical experience.

Rabbit Mating Habits

Strange Mating Habits of Animals
By: Tyson Manning |
Reproduction is the biological process in which parents produce new offspring. Hence, reproduction can be considered as a fundamental function and feature of life. The reproduction requires the involvements of two different individuals from opposite gender. It may be very obvious for human to obtain the way people give births to younger generation. However, are you wondering how exactly animals do that? In fact, the mating rituals of some animals are wonderfully bizarre. Let discover the mating habits of northern elephant seal, bonobo, dolphin, honey bee, emperor penguin.

At some point everyone has taken a photograph of themselves, and the trend began way before the rise of smart phones and social media, but only recently has this kind of photography had a name…the selfie. With its use increasing by an estimated 17,000% in the last year, it's fitting Oxford Dictionaries has named selfie the 2013 Word of the Year.
Being in the storage business, much of our time is spent thinking about organization, whether it's at home or in your business/office, a better organized space makes for a better organized life. A common tool in making the space around you more organized is a good set (or many sets) of shelves. 2013 was the Year of the Selfie. We want 2014 to be the Year of the Shelfie.
We want to see your shelves and how you utilize them to make the space around you more efficient. Maybe someone in our social media world will learn a tip or two about home/office organizing. Maybe you'll even teach some of the experts here at StorageMart a new trick or two.
Find us on Facebook or Twitter and show us your shelfie. Be sure to add #shelfie to help spread this idea around and catch the notice of the folks over at Oxford. Maybe 2014 can be all about the shelfie.

Should Cubs Trade Bryan LaHair?
The Baltimore Orioles have made preliminary trade calls on Bryan LaHair according to Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun.
The Cubs would seem inclined to trade LaHair given he's looked the furthest thing from an All Star hitter since early June.
Although LaHair quickly squashed the notion he wouldn't hit at the major league level the way he did in the Pacific Coast League, he's just as quickly failed to prove he can produce consistently over the course of a marathon 162-game schedule.
Consider the following: since June 1 LaHair's average has dipped 35-points, his OBP is down 44-points, and he hasn't homered over his last 38 at-bats (July 4).
Furthermore, LaHair has but 10 RBI vs. 47 strikeouts during his last 40 games while continuing to struggle against LHP (.070)–3-for-33, 1 HR, 1 RBI & 26 Ks.
Matt Garza, for heaven's sake, has two hits against southpaws for a .125 average, and Anthony Rizzo is 7-for-33 against lefties.
It's obvious opposing pitchers have made the necessary adjustments against LaHair since his blazing hot start to the season.
But it begs the question if LaHair is able to make his own adjustments to get back on track?
LaHair, as we know him, has been a late bloomer, which his tenuous minor league career suggest. So it's not inconceivable to think he could bounce back and finish the year strong given the opportunity.
"Most scouts believe Bryan LaHair has legitimate late-blooming power like Nelson Cruz and Jose Bautista, according to Jim Bowden of ESPN."
This, however, poses two problems.
