I'm so sick of hearing this from Hawk fans and players. I guess for some reason I dont understand the excuse of not being ready to play your instate rivalry game.
According to them, Chizik is just taking a page of Mac's book and making this game our "Superbowl".
I dont think anything frustrates me more than hearing that. Oh well, we have won 7 of the last 10 Superbowls
Scout.com: Howe: Iowa State Holds Emotional Edge...Again
I saw nothing this week to indicate that Chizek is going to make Iowa the Clones Super Bowl. He stressed the importance of it being a rivalry game- but other than that I thought he was pretty matter of fact.
Its hard to explain why ISU has had so much success against Kirk Ferentz coached teams. I think Mac did get his players up, but I don't think that impacted their ability to get motivated for the next 8 or 9 games.
I think the reality is Iowa's team is built to compete in the Big 10 where stopping the run is Prior 1 & 2. Looking back over the last few years- teams that run spread offenses have given the Hawks problems.
Conversely, the Big 12 has some great athletes and teams that tend to spread your defense out. ISU's lack a team speed and strength become a big problem in the Big 12.
If any game gets more attention to Chizik it will be Texas or Oklahoma. From where he came from Iowa isn't that big of a deal. Us fans got up more for this one and maybe the players took that emotion, but if that's the case maybe Iowa fans need to look at themselves for trying to act as though it isn't that big of a deal. If that were the case it wouldn't be that big of a deal to lose.
I am quite sick of it, too.
Whether its real or not, I don't care. The answer for me is the same; there is no way in (*&# that it should be.
Coach C has already stated before this game he didn't come here to win the CY-HAWK Trophy. I think that statement says it all.
Did you guys hear the Iowa Player (can't remember the name) on KCCI saying that "ISU is always fired up for this game and we were not prepared" That is the most Baby type excuse I have ever heard. I just think that we are not quite as bad as we thought we were b/c of some bad turnovers in the last two games and Iowa is not as good as they think they are and we met somewhere in the middle. How bout that?
Sure it's a big game, but most of our Big 12 games are too. Nebraska comes to mind as a bigger one for me.
There would be little reason for our guys to not be fired up. Chizik is trying to get them going to get our first win, the players want the crowd to stick around... and then of course, there's the rivalry deal, which is always nice to win.
There were a lot of factors going into the players really trying to get pumped up for this one. And it wasn't simply because we were playing Iowa.
I remember from the pre-game intro on the VS. broadcast that Chizik said that he understands the importance of rivalry - afterall, he was part of the Alabama-Auburn rivalry and the Texas-Oklahoma and Texas-aTm rivalries. He understands that the game is important, especially for the fans. However, as much as he DOES wan that trophy in his case, the main focus of his purpose here is not to win that trophy but to win championships. I think this is where Ferentz and Chizik differ. Ferentz has been famous for saying that he treats all games the same - no one game is more important than any other game on the schedule. I think Chizik looks at it differnetly - the next game on the schedule is the most important game of the season. It doesn't matter what we did last week and it doesn't matter what who we're playing 2 or 3 weeks from now. I think we'll probably relish the victory in practice on Monday, and then it will be all Toledo the rest of the week. Anyone that even hints at Nebraska will receive a swift kick.

Cooper University Hospital's medical school will open its doors to its first class of students this fall.
But before the students arrive, Governor Christie and others will be in Camden today to ceremonially cut the ribbon on the new facility.
The opening mark's the state's new medical school in more than three decades. It's affiliated with Rowan University, which gained another medical program, the School of Osteopathic Medicine, in the reorganization of the University of Medicine and Dentistry. The remaining UMDNJ programs went to Rutgers University.
Check out the Star Ledger's look at Cooper's new medical school.
While Christie is in Camden, Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno will be on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights (where Christie recently got into an argument with a man who cursed in front of his children) for the 5th Annual Law Enforcement Survivors Day.
Later in the day Christie will be at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City for a 2 p.m. announcement. His office isn't releasing any details in advance. But the visit may be related to Resorts' plans to go with a Margarittaville theme. Read more about that story in the Atlantic City Press.
The state Supreme Court is set to rule on whether or not judges have to contribute more to their pensions and health benefits. Anthony Campisi will have more on that once the decision comes out.
Acting New Jersey Education Commissioner Chris Cerf has his confirmation hearing Thursday. Check out Leslie Brody's story here.
Here are a few stories from The Record's State House Bureau: Anthony Campisi takes a look at the Supreme Court's ruling that expands drug-free school zones. Governor Christie signed a bill yesterday that is aimed at boosting the state's solar energy market. And an Assembly panel held a hearing looking into the state's oversight of halfway houses after the New York Times ran a series detailing problems with the program. Check out John Reitmeyer's story on the hearing.
Charlie Stile's column today looks at Christie's comments on gun control Monday following the shooting in Colorado last week.
State Sen. Gerald Cardinale, R-Demarest, weighed in on the possibility of merging the Bergen County Police with the Bergen County Sheriff's Office Monday calling it "absurd" to say such a merger is a complex issue. Cardinale has sponsored legislation to merge the two law enforcement agencies.
In other news yesterday, a state panel recommended closing two institutions for the disabled. Check out the Star Ledger's story here.
The Washington Post has a story today on how there have been more intraparty incumbent Congressional races this year — including the primary battled between U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-Paterson, and U.S. Rep. Steve Rothman, D-Englewood — than ever before. Rothman unsuccessfully challenged Pascrell (and moved to Englewood) after his hometown of Fair Lawn was moved out of the 9th District when new district lines were drawn based on 2010 Census data,and the state lost a district. Pascrell, who previously covered the 5th District, was moved into the 9th.

Posts: 155
Alright.. I guess I have to ask this, for my own curiosity.. The age old debate, "does size matter".. As a guy growing up in America, where image is everything, and guys are led to believe that dick size is of the utmost importance, I'd like to know where YOU stand on the issue..
Now, to be brutally honest.. I'm a guy, 5'6" to 5'7" tall.. and well, I'd say I'm small in the pants.. 4 to 5 inches on a really good day.. Now, if I tally up all the girls and women I've been with ( and before you gripe, when *I* was under 18, I had sex with other girls my age ).... anyway, if I add up all of the females that I've been with, I'd say that of the 12 or so, only 2 could not be satisfied by my hardware..
However, the fact that I was smart enough to realize that my size may be an issue in my early years, I learned to hone some mad skills both orally and digitally. The woman I am with now, whom I can bring to orgasm at least 5 times a night, says that she's more than satisfied with what I can give her ( size wise ). And that's taking into consideration that she's quite well shielded ( clitoris ).
The only two women I couldn't satisfy were way out of my league.. I couldn't get them there with anything I had.. really kicks the hell out of the ego..
So I guess if I had a "batting average", I'd be batting .833 not too shabby.. But how do the rest of you ladies judge your men? And guys, what's your take on this??
Just curious..

Even the Kama Sutra (The Burton translation) and the Perfumed Garden of Cheikh Nefzaoui bring up this topic, and those documents are centuries old. However, the things they stated actually parellel things revealed by modern sex scientists (like Johnson, Segal, Westenheimer,
et al
.) on many instances.
So let me paraphrase what I can, from the "Rabbit and Doe" texts of the Sutras to the dry pages of the Masters and Johnson research:
The penis is flesh, and therefore to some degree even when erect it can compress. The vagina is flesh, and therefore it can to some degree contract and stretch. Most people are sexually compatable with others on a purely physical level. Experts guage it at about 92% or higher, which would support the figures you gave, birdman.
When I asked Segal "what about the other 8%", his response was that if they have issues on a physical level, they work it out.
In other words, sexual satisfaction is almost always mental in it's basis. Just the same as any other relationship element. Some people might kid themselves, but look at it this way:
One friend of mine, after a severe car accident, lost the use of his penis. He and his wife, however, claimed to still be fully sexually active, and very content in that department. If the love is there, you make it work.
In summary, it's extraordinarilly rare that people don't physically "fit". That she's small while he's big or
vice versa
. If there's a good relationship, then they figure out what to do about it and enjoy themselves anyway. If there's a complaint about "satisfaction" then it's really more a psychological problem than anything else.

Birdman, size, in my opinion, really doesn't matter. Confidence in yourself and understanding what your partner needs are what matters. Doesn't matter what you have if you don't know how to use it there won't be much satisfaction for either person.
And it's too bad that guys are led to believe that their dick size is of the utmost importance. I believe that being aware of each other's needs and wants is more important than size any day. Every person is different and everyone is satisfied in their own ways. But, that's just my opinion and experience.

I hear ya.. I also think that most women worry too much in the same way, about breast size.. Granted, some guys like big.. but I like a small breast.. But I agree with you. That's why I've always focused solidly on my partner, watching, and listening for ques, and then I remember what she likes and keep improving.
While I do enjoy sex, I get an equal if not more enjoyment out of pleasing my partner.

I've been told I'm a good size. Not small, not big. A nice, generous average. I wouldn't have it any other way. I can't tell you the number of girls I have been with that I've gotten to intoroduce to new things. Anal or oral techniques that just wouldn't work if I was bigger. To be able to see them wide-eyed with surprise afterward when they have enjoyed something new.

Well, I wouldn't mind sporting a little more, but then, I guess when you're on the lower end of normal, that's to be expected. It is nice to no longer be hung up by such shit though.. Not that it bugged me too much in high school and college. While other guys were posturing and talking a good game, I was out getting laid, enjoying myself, and gaining experience and maturity..

i agree with kfinz about size really doesnt matter. well actually if i am going to do oral on him i would perfer it be average or smaller. And someday birdman, i might even tell you why LOL but i think different positions make up for the lack of size if that is a problem with your partner. But im not that picky as long as i like the person im with and we are sexually attracted to each other and there is some kind of bond between us. And i agree a man who has confidence will make a better lover any day than the man who has a 8 or 9" penis.

ya know.. you made a point that I didn't really realize till now.. different positions do make a difference. With my last two lovers, I have noticed that one position in particular is a real pleaser no matter the size.. It's the sideways position ( for lack of a "proper" name..)
I've gotten plenty of "OOhhh!" when I move to this position and it's funny how none of my lovers have had this position before.
I like it as well, for numerous reasons.. ( feel, view, exposure...)
Anyway, thanks for waking me up to something so obvious.. ( you REALLY do learn something new every day..)

Like I mentioned before, Sir Richard Francis Burton was the first to translate the Kama Sutra (as well as many other books from the middle east.) While he isn't always completely accurate and he seems on occasion to insert his own views (he was definitely a western misogynist) the translations that he made are among the most complete ever.
The Kama Sutra, as translated by him, gives advice on the various sizes of women and men and suggests several positions that help change the feeling of intercourse positively for size differences.
On the other hand, I do NOT reccomend any of the books "penis enlargement" techniques for they often involve items that could be considered poisonous.
Good luck on your quest.

Well i guess birdman its individual choice. Some of my best lovers were not only smaller there but the most adventous to try new things that might please me. I would hate to think i wouldnt enjoy a really hot time just because he didnt "hang" with the big boys. lol

Yea, now that you mention it, I've realized something too: Of the handful of guy friends that I've known who have been large, none of them really gave a shit about the women they were with. To be more specific, their only focus was to get off, and the only way they saw to give pleasure to their woman was with their size.
I always thought it was more than a bit selfish that many of them wouldn't give oral pleasure, but always expected to receive it. Granted, being friends with them and their women, I never heard any complaints about their size, but I did sense that some of the women got bored.. or at least, weren't completely satisfied.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure that there are plenty of guys out there that are fully appreciative of their woman and are more than willing to satisy them in many ways, but I just find it odd that the fact that the guys I've met who have been born with more than a fair share of endowment, get stuck on the size alone.
To me, sex is so much more fun when you explore, just like you mentioned L2L. The joy is in experiencing your partner in every way; trusting, giving, and loving.

Alright..i guess i opened a can of worms here..lol...I agree..sex,making love..whatever you might wanna call it has alot more to it, then just the size of a men's penis. And of course a woman can be pleasured in numerous ways besides actual penetration. I for instance,love recieving and giving oral, i dont have to have sex to be satisfied. But the question was about the size and what do women prefer, therefore,i put in my 2 cents and now it seems like im "aweful" for saying size does matter "to me". Im not speaking for all woman of course..how could i.Everybody has different needs. I did not say i cant be satisfied by a small member. And from experience with the larger size...it is so not true that this particular guy just thought about himself. He satisfied me more then enough in more then one way,and not just with his penis.

I apologize almostinnocent if I was putting you down that wasnt my intentions at all. I agree that all women have different ideas of what they like and what they dont like, THank god. it would be awful if we all liked the same kinds of things not enough to go around. My only point was for me size doesnt matter. but i certainly wasnt putting you down for saying to you it did, This is an open forum and you have as much right to feel and say what you want as I or anyone else does. But im sorry if i offended you that was never my intentions.

Well, in my experience, women seem to view men in a "package deal" perspective. While men can fixate on one aspect in their lover (e.g., "Man, she has huge tits!") women tend to look at the overall balance of what they're getting.
So many qualities enter into this. Is their partner artistic? Gentle? Strong? Intelligent? Do they have a huge penis or a small one? Do they dress well? Are they kind? There are so many elements it would be impossible to list them all.
Then the woman decides if she can put up with the negative stuff in light of the positive. Maybe her lover does have a 2 inch penis, but he compensates by having lots of money and knowing oral sex secrets that make other guys jealous. Maybe he is a bit dumb, but he's kind and good with kids, and he can make love for hours with that massive bulldozer of a cock. I even had a friend once who confided in me that sex with one lover she was seeing was just awful, but she felt there was so much more positive in the relationship she was willing to overlook that.
Different things are important to different people. I'm sure Paris Hilton is turned on as much by a man's IQ as Emma Thompson is turned on by bravado. So the short version? A guy with a small penis is okay, provided he has something else to offer, but a guy with a big penis isn't going to hold on to a woman if that's all he's bringing into the relationship.
Unless she's a size queen, but
a whole other can of worms.

Hey, like you pointed out, to some people size is very important. There are size queens out there that don't even go for men anymore because they can't satisfy them the way a really big dildo does...think I'm kidding? Google "bigsextoystore.com" or "Amazing Ty".

Scroll down for reaction from environmental advocates.
The new head of North Carolina's environmental and natural resources agency has shaken things up in the state agency in his first month on the job, and replaced two top deputies this week.
Donald van der Vaart, a longtime DENR employee selected to lead the agency last month by Gov. Pat McCrory, replaced two of the agency's assistant secretaries – Mitch Gillespie and Brad Ives – and is replacing them, according to a news release from the agency.
Gillespie, a former Republican lawmaker from Marion who joined DENR in 2012, was the assistant secretary for the environment. Ives was the agency's assistant secretary for natural resources, and worked before his 2012 arrival at the agency at several renewable energy companies. Both earned $119,000 in their jobs.
Tom Reeder, who had headed DENR's Division of Water Resources , will take Gillespie's place, and Mary John Pugh will serve in an interim role as the assistant secretary for natural resources, according to a news release from DENR. Pugh was a deputy director at the N.C. Zoo.
"Tom Reeder is an experienced regulator, manager and longtime DENR employee," van der Vaart said, in a written statement released by the agency. "Tom's engineering background and extensive regulatory expertise will be an asset in leading DENR's efforts to provide for clean air, water and land. On the natural resources side, I wish to thank Mary Joan Pugh for taking on this assignment while we initiate a search for the leadership of our natural resource assets."
Gillespie will move into a new position as a department liaison out of the agency's Asheville office working as a western outreach director that will work "to strengthen environmental efforts in Western North Carolina and ensure that the concerns of citizens, local governments and the regulated community are being heard."

Antarctica: The Global Warning
Sebastian Copeland went to the Earth's southernmost continent — Antarctica — with a mission to take one specific picture. He never planned on making a book. But six weeks and 6,000 pictures later, Copeland had enough images to create what is now a book: Antarctica: A Global Warning.
Hide captionAll photos by Sebastian Copeland, from Antarctica: A Global Warning
1 of 9View slideshow i
Based on a similar effort in the Arctic, Copeland traveled to Antarctica on behalf of Global Green USA in order to arrange people in a way that would issue a warning to the world about climate change:
Photographing a region like Antarctica took what Copeland describes as "constant adjustment" in order to get the pictures he wanted. He faced geographic hurdles in trying to reach the regions he wanted to photograph. And even when he managed to physically get where he needed to be, nature took its toll: "It's cold, it's wet, distant from any type of civilization ... or help if something goes wrong," Copeland described.
Despite the conditions, he did manage to get on land to take his favorite picture featured in the book. He even managed to wrangle up a tripod and photograph this image as a large format panoramic:
As for his decision to photograph Antarctica in the first place, Copeland's answer was simple. "Nothing communicates climate change as effectively as ice," he said. In six months, he will be heading back to again photograph Antarctica and the effects of global warming. This time, however, he won't have a problem hitting land to shoot. He'll be covering 800 miles of the territory on foot.

News Release: Associated Press News
MIAMI (AP) -- South Florida's water managers are reporting some modest gains in wading bird nesting.
The South Florida Water Management District has released its annual report on wading bird nesting efforts. Officials say 2013 was a relatively average year with 48,291 nests.
According to the report, wood stork, white ibis and great egret nesting significantly improved last year. The number of roseate spoonbill nests in Florida Bay also increased for the second consecutive year.
However, other wading bird species that have shown steep declines in nesting in recent years did not show any improvement last year. Snowy egrets and tri-colored and blue herons had significant declines, in particular.
A primary goal of Everglades restoration efforts is improving natural water flows to sustain healthy wading bird populations.

Maybe all drug cops are not cowboys prone to trashing supsects' houses and intimidating children. But, among defense attorneys, such cops certainly have that reputation. Exhibit A: the task force known as WestNet.
Readers of DW will remember that WestNet is the same task force that last year charged into the house of a medical marijuana dispensary operative, pulled a gun on her 15-year-old son and raided her 9-year-old daughter's Mickey Mouse wallet.
Some eerily similar events show up in The News Tribune's report. In 2002, WestNet raided the house of Douglas Wood, a 50-year-old medical marijuana patient with a painful nerve condition. Task force officers showed up in paramilitary gear and then shot a pepper ball at Wood's 11-year-old dog, blowing out her eye, according to court records cited.
In another case, WestNet officers broke through a Belfair suspect's front door, storming in with guns drawn on the suspect, her 6 six-year-old daughter and 13-month old grandson, according to a court declaration cited in the story. The officers proceeded to break an Etch-a-Sketch toy to see if it had drugs.
The irony is that the task force used such Rambo-like tactics on penny ante cases. Prosecutors often declined to take the cases to court and when they did, judges regularly sentenced defendants to zero days in jail. Yet WestNet claimed a near perfect success record to state regulators.
Perhaps no surprise, then, that one of WestNet's top officers, now retired Bremerton cop Roy Alloway (pictured above), wasn't scrupulous about other forms of paperwork. In October, Alloway pleaded guilty in federal court to tax fraud and gun dealing without a license. He is scheduled to be sentenced next month.
WestNet is one of many similar task forces across the state and the country. The question that arises is now this: Is WestNet the exception, or the rule?

Commentary: Memorial Day from chaplain's foxhole
May 15, 2009
Story Highlights
- A young Army chaplain suggests we think of personnel at war on Memorial Day.
- He talks about one of the sad tasks a chaplain must perform.
- He talks about some of the questions he's gotten from Soldiers at war.
Related Links
FORT MYER, Va. (May 15, 2009) -- One evening, a casualty officer and I drove down the road on our way to inform a Soldier's spouse that her husband had died in Iraq.
As an Army chaplain, many thoughts entered my mind. I thought about how difficult it would be for this young mother and how empty the two children's lives would be without their dad.
On our way to the house, the casualty officer had assured me that he would be able to deliver the sad news. But when we got to our destination his confidence disappeared.
''Chaplain," he asked, ''will you pray for me'" I placed my hand on his shoulder and began to pray. I asked God to give us the strength to perform our duty. I asked God to control our thoughts and actions and comfort the household we were about to enter.
When I finished we got out of the car and with great pain did the job that we were both called to do.
Memorial Day reminds us of the Soldiers who gave their lives for our country. But often we forget to also honor the families they left behind. They, too, have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Military chaplains guide Soldiers and their families through the ''Circle of Life" from births, baptisms, confirmations, marriage, illness and death. Our role is broader than a typical civilian minister because we have to connect Soldiers to God on a daily basis.
There was a time when I considered leaving the ministry. Then a friend asked me to join the military chaplaincy. It changed my life.
During my deployment I served as chaplain for a 600-Soldier logistics battalion in Baghdad. Whoever said ''there are no atheists in the foxhole" may have been absolutely right.
These Soldiers had to deliver supplies along the most dangerous routes in Iraq, and when bombs exploded, the reality of war forced many Soldiers to do some very serious soul searching.
Countless Soldiers came to talk to me about war, death and faith and they presented me with many perplexing theological questions:
''Is God on our side, and will he protect me from death'"
''Will God forgive me if I kill an innocent person by mistake'"
''Will God be angry with me for participating in this war'"
''Exactly where do we really go when we die'"
Today I am back home in the states, a safe distance away from the death and war that challenges many servicemen and women in ways most people in our country will never fully understand.
This year, as we celebrate Memorial Day, we should pause as a nation from talk about political battles between Republicans and Democrats and the latest celebrity gossip, and instead think about the men and women who continue to fight and die in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
It is true: war is hell, freedom is expensive, death is painful and faith still matters; especially to those in the foxhole.

They knew how you were going to vote
If you didn't get a phone call from the Obama campaign this year, chances are they already knew how you were going to vote.
If you are like me and live in the deep red south, they probably didn't really care. States like Mississippi and Louisiana were never part of the president's strategy to keep the White House any way.
But if they ever do come into play, the odds are that future campaigns will know for whom you will cast your vote before you even enter the polling place.
It may sound absurd, but your vote is probably not as secret and sacrosanct as you think it is — thanks to science and the Internet age.
The information you give via the credit-card purchases you make and the websites you visit are the Holy Grail for campaigns.
For the millions of voters living in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Nevada and a handful of other battleground states, the president's campaign was not just spending time and money wooing voters with ads and campaign rallies this year. Behind the scenes they were gathering as much data as they could about each and every voter.
According to The New York Times, the Obama campaign hired a team of behavioral scientists "to build an extraordinarily sophisticated database packed with names of millions of undecided voters and potential supporters. The ever-expanding list let the campaign find and register new voters who fit the demographic pattern of Obama backers and methodically track their views through thousands of telephone calls every night."
With this database, the Obama campaign was successful in altering the make up of the electorate.
According to The Times, the Romney campaign was stunned that these strategies brought out voters "they never even knew existed." These voters were younger and less white than they expected, especially in Democratic-rich areas like the counties in south Florida.
Such tactics should not come as a surprise. Retail giants like Target have been using them for years.
Charles Duhigg wrote about this in his book "The Power of Habit." Using behavioral science, Target has been able to identify pregnant women just by the purchases they make — even if the women had not shared their news.
Attracting pregnant women is important. If you can get them to make purchases during the second trimester, chances are they will become frequent customers.
Scientists for Target discovered that women make certain specific purchases during their pregnancy, like unscented hand lotions, vitamins and cleaning supplies. Target has identified 25 different products that pregnant women commonly buy and uses the purchase of these items to predict with uncanny accuracy when a woman will deliver her baby.
How successful is it? In a separate New York Times story Duhigg related a story of a father who was upset that Target was sending his high school daughter coupons for baby items, accusing the company of trying to encourage his child to get pregnant.
When he returned home, the father discovered that his daughter was keeping a secret — she was due in August.
If Target can use behavioral analysis to identify pregnant women and their due dates, it should come as no surprise that campaigns can use the same methods to identify potential supporters.
All they need is the information.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

No one is arguing your points...the disagreeable point that was made was that a "true professional" would not use an iMac. There are numerous professionals that I know personally who DO use iMacs...very high-end iMacs, but iMacs nonetheless. And are quite successful with them. And they have massive raid storage attached so internal storage is not an issue.
That said, there are applications where a Mac Pro would be more useful, where you may want more on-board storage, even higher-end graphics, more memory. One has to choose the appropriate tool for the application. But a blanket statement that a true professional cannot use an iMac is just plain a false statement.

To my understanding, the problem with Imac's has to do with the display in terms getting true and accurate colors when printing. As a digital photographer, that is the only concern I have. I would welcome other thoughts.

Amen, GreigH.
I used a 20" iMac for years as a professional. I was in Advertising, and did copy and design. It was amazing. And 6 years later, with increased RAM, it still is a real workhorse. I love it!

I am implementing an auto-update mechanism for my software. The msi on the server is signed using signtool. My app downloads the msi and reads the public key of the downloaded msi. If the public key matches the one that is hard coded in the source code, it will execute the msi and update itself.
Would this is be sufficient to ensure that no malicious msi gets executed by mistake? My understanding is that a file will have the same public key ONLY if signed by my certificate.
Edit: With petey's help, I was able to detect if the msi was signed by my certificate or not. However, this didnt quite solve my problem. I can still edit the signed msi using a tool like Orca. Even the msi is no longer the same as the one that was signed, nothing happens to certificate. So when I check whether the msi is signed by me, I get yes. While I understand that this might be intended behaviour, but there must be some way to detect if the msi was tampered with??

And of course when we arrived to the party we were the only people who were in spandex. Is she right? Are we freaks? By the way, it was a kid party and her spongebod jersey was a big hit.
