D90 Ospreys pp c&c
I've been trying to figure out good pp to bring my bird pictures "alive" I feel like I'm getting closer, but was wondering if any of the experts here could give me a few more pointers, like if I'm missing something obvious? I've tried so many programs, but have come down to psp x4 to convert raw files and do some sharpening, nr, fill light etc, Then photoscape for final tweaks and resizing. Thanks

Sunriver Resort, Mount Bachelor and 300 days of sunshine a year draw hordes of visitors to the town of Bend, a central Oregon vacation spot.
After river-rafting, hiking, mountain biking or more leisurely vacation pursuits, a meal and a beer at a local brew pub is a great way to experience life like a local in Bend. As the city has grown from 20,000 residents in 1990 to nearly 80,000 today, the brewing scene has burgeoned, offering a wealth of options for the discerning beer fan. Choices include:
Deschutes Brewery
The pub: Bend's original brew pub, established in 1988, is a large, busy venue in the city's low-key downtown where there's often a wait for a table. The extensive menu includes a variety of appetizers, soups, salads, burgers and sandwiches.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Seattle's vanishing black community
Most Read Stories
The brews: Choices include Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Black Butte Porter and other longtime favorites and seasonal ales. India Pale Ale (IPA) fans will appreciate the crisp, hoppy Hop Henge seasonal currently available.

Other choices include High Desert Hefeweizen, Metolius Gold Ale, Outback Old Ale, Pinnacle Porter and up to five rotating seasonals, brewed upstairs and piped directly to pub taps.

Is OSU's Future PG on Campus?
By John Helsley
OSU's point guard of the future is…
Keiton Page? Ray Penn? Fred Gulley?
Someone else? The Cowboys appear set with two new recruits and two outgoing seniors, but they're back on the trail in search of a point guard, with California high schooler Cezar Guerrero at the front of their search.
Page is the acting point guard today, but is better suited for the off guard spot, where he can carry less responsibility and draw less attention and more freely work for shots — his specialty.
Penn has been the point guard in the past, the recent past even, but currently finds himself trying to escape Travis Ford's doghouse. Penn played but one minute in OSU's loss at Texas Tech on Saturday.
Gully, of course, is sitting out this season as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery — his second at OSU. Gully played the point during the Cowboys' run to the 2010 NCAA Tournament. He's unspectacular, but solid, and we may not have yet seen the best of him, considering the issues that have affected each shoulder.
But there's a chance — and the level of chance is determined by who's available — that OSU's future point guard is not yet on campus.
Karron Johnson, a Juco forward who signed with the Cowboys in November, is on shaky ground, both on the court and off. He's been kicked off the team at Midland College (his fifth school in five years) and reportedly needs to pass 28 hours to become eligible at OSU next fall.
There's major doubt that Johnson will make it to Stillwater. Either way, the Cowboys are looking for a point guard.
Guerrero is the highest-rated point man still unsigned, yet comes in at No. 25 on the Scout rankings. The Cowboys are late to the party and must make up ground on a number of schools, including Bedlam rival Oklahoma.
But they have a strong selling point, with instant access to a position that could be the missing piece to a strong team.
Assume, too, that the Cowboys will be looking far and wide for other possibilities, including the junior college ranks.

Robins has no new injury or suspension worries and is unlikely to make any changes to the side that halted Burnley's 12-match unbeaten run at the weekend.
Town will still be without skipper Peter Clarke, sidelined until February with knee ligament damage, while midfielder Keith Southern is closing in on a return to the squad following his latest calf injury.
Winger Danny Ward and defender Calum Woods are among those pushing for recalls as Huddersfield bid to make up further ground on the play-off places.

Arizona Diamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick forced fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers to change clothes or find a different seating location when the teams met in their series opener on Friday night, according to Deadspin's Timothy Burke.
The fans, who were seated in Chase Field's expensive batters box suite — price ranges from $3,250 to $3,500 — right behind home plate, could be seen decked out in Dodgers blue when the game began.
However, as the inning went along, ushers were seen bringing Diamondbacks gear to the suite, which the fans willingly changed into in order to keep their seats. It's also said Kendrick, who must be a "Seinfeld" fan (remember the episode where Elaine refused to remove her Baltimore Orioles cap at Yankees Stadium) arrived on the scene sometime during the inning and could be seen (and heard) having an animated discussion with the fans.
Due to the high visibility of the home plate box, we ask opposing team's fans when they purchase those seats to refrain from wearing that team's colors. During last night's game, when Ken Kendrick noticed the fans there, he offered them another suite if they preferred to remain in their Dodger gear. When they chose to stay, he bought them all D-backs gear and a round of drinks and requested that they abide by our policy and they obliged.
So the broadcasters in Arizona have a dress code, and apparently the fans do too.
I understand how frustrating it can be to see the opposing team's colors and gear proudly displayed in your high-priced seats, It looks, well, bad, and even embarrassing when it happens night after night (not that it does in Arizona). But come on, really? You already have their money, so as long as they're not wearing something offensive (division rival colors and logos don't count) why not let them wear what they want?
Is this good for business? I know you want Diamondbacks fans to see their colors back there. I know that helps sell the product. But do you want fans from other teams to catch wind of this and decide they'd rather not splurge for the expensive seats. Maybe they don't have trouble selling them. If not, that's great. But I sure wouldn't want to narrow the list of potential customers.
To me it's just ... odd.
Maybe you disagree though. Feel free to fire away with your thoughts in the comments section.

The RED Scarlet-X 4K camera isn't naked anymore
Individuals and companies who took the chance to buy the RED Scarlet-X early could either cover the rear pins on the camera with an accessory like the Redmote (controls camera functions wirelessly) or leave these pins exposed. Many weren't comfortable with that thought and asked for a rear cover to protect the back of their precious 4K film device from dust and weather.

Some time has passed since we've started looking for a useful Scarlet-X rig. If you're serious about working with a camera like the RED Scarlet-X or the Canon C300 you're in need of a rig that will fully support and make use of the ergonomics of the short form factor that you know from HDSLR.Read more

When we had our first 1 day no-budget Scarlet-X shoot two weeks ago (see short and field report here) we bumped into one major problem: Backing up the data on this MacBook Pro via FW800 just took too long (30 minutes for a 64GB card) and we ended up not having a second backup (!).
This is a situation you simply can't have. If that backup dies the work (and money) that went into that shooting day dies with it.

Every time I load and play this game it works fine except for the sound in the game is completely gone. This is a great game and I would like to have another play through. But this sound glitch is giving me a hard time. If anyone knows of a solution to this problem I would be grateful. Thank you.

Skyrim Horse by wowlol1234Watch

Bow before da horses!
Lol true
I enjoy running off cliffs and sort of flying with them for a few seconds.
just a random thought can anyone else picture deadpool in this picture
wow i love this
I love how they can scale vertical mountains, but can't survive a 50 foot drop lol.
Reminds me when I'm playing Skyrim and I'm trying to climb along the hills and when I'm getting annoyed I'm thinking "Goddammit I should buy a horse!"
Without dem horses, it's impossible to climb those damn steep mountains.
This is my wallpaper.
horses, the true power of tamriel.
I was watching my brother play Skyrim, just as I found this. He was climbing a mountain and he and his horse fell. His horse, "Glidey McHorseyson", died.
He was apparently not a REAL Skyrim horse.
He was apparently not a REAL Skyrim horse.
It's Spider Horse!

HOW IN THE HEAVENS??? Walking I'M not sure, jumping you did? I did see a fan art with a horse going up diagonally on a total vertical "slope" but for real now... we all love Kriptonian horses.
thats hilarious

Low-side I/V sensing IC, with internal power calculation
Maxim Integrated has posted details of the MAX44299, a low-side current, voltage, and power monitoring circuit that provides an analogue output current proportional to the measured current, voltage, and the internally calculated instantaneous power. The power monitor offers high precision and integration in tiny size.
Instantaneous power is calculated internally by multiplying the load current and a fraction of the load voltage set by an external resistive divider. All three outputs are scaled to a full-scale current of 100 µA. An additional output current of 100 µA is available at the reference (REF) output; this current can be used to create a reference voltage for the ADC that is being used to measure the power, voltage, and current signals.

I'm not so sure about this. I don't know why the event would be "laggy" and I can't think of any ways in which the hacker would "limited". Plus, though I haven't tested it, I'm fairly certain that remaining in a 'callasm' command for longer than one frame will at least have some minor ramifications.

Sorta. I didn't understand this completely the last time I visited this thread but since then, I've learned a thing or two about music hacking. The gist is that the game uses DMA1 and DMA2 to continuously copy over music data to the I/O registers. knizz was correct in that the DMA buffers can only hold enough data for a split second. However, DMAs 1 & 2 have a special setting for music that will copy over a new byte once the "sound buffer" has been emptied. Basically, it's complicated.

I LOVE vintage train cases, but I don't have one. I went onto Ebay and apparently everyone else wants one too, because the cool ones have bids. I wish I had a friend who would give me one like Suzy from Georgia Peachez. She was given this train case, and used a little wallpaper and Mod Podge to fix it up. Which brings me to another thing I have mentioned before: wanting to try wallpaper on a Mod Podge project. Suzy has inspired me to finally get my wallpaper on! Look for something from me very soon.
Suzy's post is no longer up, but you can see a tutorial for how to decoupage a train case at Holy Craft right here.

Commodities boom comes with pitfalls as property bubble leaves many behind and those outside mining face soaring prices
Australia hardly qualifies as the developing world, but there is no doubt that it is booming, with few ill effects from the financial crisis and growth set to top 3% this year.
But the boom comes with pitfalls. The surge in the mining industry in recent years has led to a giddy property bubble which, although good for landlords and homeowners, is not so easy for anyone unconnected with the mineral wealth.
In the tropical Queensland city of Gladstone, seven hours' drive north of Brisbane, a retired painter, Allan Giles, is completing the sale of another of his investment properties. He is on the right side of the equation. His modest three-bedroom brick-veneer house with a huge garden and picket fence is three blocks from the sea. Eight years ago he paid A$145,000 (£94,000) for the house. It has just sold for A$375,000.[view whole blog post ]

Anonymously written and transcribed from oral tales, the family sagas of Iceland are notoriously difficult texts to date. In this book, a host of contributors address the methodological problems inherent in dating the sagas, and in the process they offer insightful discussions of the saga form itself. Focusing on the several new written genres that developed in Iceland in the thirteenth century, they locate the dynamic position of the sagas at the intersection of oral and written traditions. In doing so, they highlight the crucial problems of philological research and the importance of accuracy in understanding literary history.

Reliance Life to launch nine new products by Jan-end
Jan 10 2014 , Mumbai
"We had received approvals for 29 plans from the regulator, of which we have already launched 20 new and restructured products in compliance with new Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) guidelines. We will launch the rest nine products by the month-end," Reliance Life Insurance CEO Anup Rau said in a release issued here.
The products largely focus on traditional insurance plans with a view to promoting protection and long-term savings across the country, he added.
These plans, which include both individual and group insurance, will address the consumers' need of protection, savings and growth, retirement and health.
Last year, in February, IRDA had issued non-linked and linked life insurance products regulations to ensure that all products are consistent in design and are focused on meeting policy holders' expectations.
Rau further said the private insurance company is eyeing over Rs 4,000 crore premium income by March 31, 2014.
The company has recorded a growth in its new business premium at Rs 1,022 crore during the April-September period of 2013-14, compared to Rs 571 crore in the corresponding period of last year and collected over 2,000 crore premium income in the first half of the current financial year.
Reliance Life insurance posted an over four-fold surge in its net profit to Rs 136 crore in the second quarter of this fiscal from a net profit of Rs 31 crore in the July-September quarter of 2012-13.

In the paragraph talking about the "Apostles Creed," why 2508did you not explain that "Hell" there means Hades, which in Greek means Grave? There are those that think Jesus went to hell to suffer in fire. Also, why would He need to do that when He took care of everythng on the cross forever?
Thanks and God Bless! Dr. Gary

Jesus went to Hades.To show death that it was powerless over him.
- 1 November 2013 at 1:25 AM
All well and good but I am a young Christian and there are no such scriptures actually saying that Jesus went to hades... or hell
The scriptures you provided say nothing of the sort...
Sure you quoted "the heart of the earth" but that could be translated as simply 'buried in the ground' (like when people usually die)

I believe the Seventh Day Adventist teaching here. Jesus was telling this allegory to Jewish Leaders who believed they were automatically part of the kingdom. Abraham's bosom speaks of inheritance, not a place. Jesus was using the allegory to point out the kingdom will be taken from them and given to the Gentiles. I believe Soul Sleep is taught all through the Bible. When Lazarus died, he was dead for four days and knew nothing.

Certainly this issue is NOT everlasting gospel as some are trying to make (eg.Seventh Day Adventist ) and we are at liberty to disagree. I personally believe scripture "to live is Christ, to die is gain!" Thank you for putting all this together. God bless you!

What do you mean by this :
Jesus really went to Hell to taste death for every man (Heb. 2:9) and to confirmed to the Old Testament people (both to the saints and the lost) that He is indeed the promised Redeemer (Job 19:25; 1 Pet. 3:19).

In 1 Peter we read that Christ continued to save souls--even after his death.
For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit; 19 in which he went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. (1 Peter 3:18–21)
According to this passage, after he died, Christ went to those who died in the flood judgment.

Real Madrid
In a poll held by FIFA in 2000, Real Madrid was elected as the best club of the 20th century and for many good reasons. No other club has ever won the European Cup 5 consecutive times like Real Madrid did in the late 1950s with some legendary squads. Looking at the current squad of the club featuring Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, Toni Kroos, Iker Casillas, Karim Benzema, Luka Modrić and Sergio Ramos one gets the feeling that the club is high geared towards reproducing that remarkable achievement.
Real Madrid's history is paved with a long tradition of trophy wins. With 10 European cups (4 of them during the Champions League era), 2 UEFA cups, 2 European Super Cups, 3 intercontinental cups, 32 national championships and 19 Copa Del Rey national cups, Real Madrid is one of the most decorated clubs in the history of football.
The Padros brothers, Juan and Carlos officially established the club in 1902. In the early days they offered the mayor of Madrid to arrange a football tournament in the honors of king Alfonso Xlll's coronation. This was the beginning of the tournament Copa De El Rey, which was practically, until the establishment of La Liga in 1929, the national championship of Spain. This was also the beginning of the club's affiliation with the royal family that granted the name Real (royal) to the club in 1920.
Out of the superb football players that have played for the club, two stand out most as iconic symbols. The first one is Santiago Bernabeu who played for the club between 1911- 1928. In his years as a manager and as a president after the civil war and until his death in 1978 he led Real Madrid to its position as one of the best football clubs in the world. Acknowledging his achievements the General Assembly of Members honored him by naming the club's stadium after his name in 1955. The second iconic symbol that stands out is Alfredo Di Stefano. Considered by many as one of the greatest players in the history of football. It was under his leadership that Real Madrid won the European Cup 5 consecutive times (1956-1960).
Mentioning all the football stars that have played for the club would be an impossible thing to do. Of more recent decades the outstanding names are Juanito, Emilio Butragueño, Santillana and Hugo Sanches of the 1970s and 1980s squads. Raul, Zinedine Zidane, Roberto Carlos, Martin Hierro, Ronaldo (the Brazilian), Luis Figo and David Beckham are the prominent names of the 1990s and 2000s squads.
Raul, who played for the club between 1994 and 2010 holds the records of number of appearances (741) and number of goals (323).
The biggest rivals of Real Madrid are Atletico Madrid (This match is called El Derbi madrileño)and Barcelona (El Clasico). Each game between Real and these clubs is assured to have an electrifying atmosphere.
Real Madrid's stadium, the Santiago Bernabeu is one of the finest shrines of football. With a current capacity of 81,044 seats.
Real Madrid is the current holder of the Champions League cup after winning its eternal rival, Atletico Madrid in a thrilling match that ended 4:1 after over time.

My lash type: Fine, straight, and sparse (sigh)
I tested: Darac Beauty Expedition Mascara
Thoughts: "No lash left behind" is the cute slogan for Darac Beauty Expedition mascara. And, um, they're not kidding! This may be my new favorite mascara of all time (which is a BIG BIG deal as you can imagine). Something about this mascara is really genius, whether it's the super soft formula (feels like you have nothing on) or the magic brush which seems to find hidden lashes and amplify them. I used three coats this morning, which gave me a super-defined (and noticeablely longer) Japanese cartoon character look.
Best for: any kind of lashes, even straight ones... the lightweight formula doesn't straighten out lashes. And no lash comb is necessary! Hurrah.
Buy it at: Henri Bendel, QVC.com, or daracbeauty.com for $20

Brunt of winter storm 'Nemo' expected in other parts of New England
Vermonters and visitors to the state will be treated to a wintry weekend but will be spared the full and mighty wrath of winter storm Nemo.
The first major storm of 2013 is expected to pummel parts of Massachusetts, and southern regions of New Hampshire and Maine with more than two feet of snow, but snowfall totals for most of Vermont are expected to fall far shy of that mark.
"We're going to be more of a spectator on this one," said Roger Hill, meteorologist for Worcestor, Vt.-based Weathering Heights. "It looks like a historic Nor'easter that will just graze Vermont."
Forecasters are calling for between 7 inches and 10 inches of snow to fall across the state, beginning Friday morning and continuing until Saturday afternoon. However, residents and travelers through the higher elevations of Windham County can expect as much has 20 inches before it's all over.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Former gubernatorial candidate Dan Feliciano plans to run for state auditor as a...

Written for financial professionals, the authors thoroughly explain the modern global credit system; the roles of banks, hedge funds, insurers, central banks, mortgage markets, and other participants; and the credit-related instruments they rely on. In particular, the authors illuminate the crucial importance of liquidity, and show why liquidity failures have been the key cause of all major market crashes for the past several decades. The Global Financial System thoroughly examines economic environments in which slow de-leveraging leads to prolonged sluggish growth, and compares today's environment to other periods of deleveraging, such as the Great Depression and the Japanese economic meltdown of the '90s and '00s. It predicts potential pathways for the current crisis, and offers essential guidance to both policymakers and investment decision-makers.

FCBEscola Academy provides massive opportunities for talented youngsters to showcase their skills in the capital...Republic Day turned out to be fabulous for yet another reason, football enthusiasts' from across India arrived at the IOS Maidan in Delhi to get a place in the FCBEscola Academy. Footballers in the age groups of U8, U10, U12, U14, U16 and U18 from over 200 schools and 38 cities competed with their peers to earn a spot in FC Barcelona's official football school.
The young guns worked relentlessly at the open trials to pursue their dream of being trained the Barca way.
No points for guessing that the criteria for judgement was proficiency in tiki-taka along with values like tolerance, respect, solidarity, friendship, community spirit and integration. The trials will be a two stage process, with selected kids being called to a Final Trial in March. In the end, only a handful of highly talented ones will be invited to join the FCBEscola.
FCBEscola is the official football school of the top European club, FC Barcelona. The school operates with an intensive program that runs year round, in which the players train twice a week and play matches once every week. The FCBEscola is open for players from age 6-17. Once a player is selected to the said school, he goes through a continuous development program under the watchful eyes of official coaches.
Antoni Claveria, Director of the FCBEscola India Project appointed by FC Barcelona, will be charting the programme for the kids. With the Escola, FC Barcelona aims to provide sustained world-class grassroots training to aspiring footballers and help India build the foundation for better performance at global level.
Speaking about the trials, Claveria said, "This will engage promising young players from across the country. We look forward to participation and hopefully seeing some of the young enthusiasts play competitive football in coming days. While we have shortlisted potential participants from the earlier camps, the trials will give impetus to finalise the students who are going to be part of FCBEscola Delhi. I am really excited to meet talent from India. "

I'm no .htaccess expert, but here's an idea. You could write a rule that checks the referrer of every hit and if it matches your mambo site, then you would display the requested page as normal. If it doesn't, then you could redirect the hit to your mambo-based site. But I don't know anything about iframs and how they would affect this setup.
- Fed up of Comment and Trackback Spam
- URL: URL not allowed??
#1 elpie Jun 23, 2005 07:26
Hi all,
I need help with two things please.
Visitors to my site can view my blog from within a wrapper (iframe) - I am using Mambo and want the blog to "appear" as integrated as possible.
(Though I am hoping it won't be long before someone comes up with a way to truly integrate the two!)
So, I want people to be able to see the blog from the wrapper, but not to be able to view it by going to domain/blog/.
I guess its probably an .htaccess thing, but I have tried to get an allow,deny working with no luck.
In blocking direct access though, I don't want to block my own access to logging on.
Any ideas? :?:
Thanks, but I don't want to redirect anyone, I just want the www.domain.com/blog/ to be inaccessible to everyone except for the call to it from the wrapper.
And except for my admin login of course ;)
The blog was getting hit so hard and fast by spammers that I decided to rename it and do the wrapper thing. But anyone who finds it can still access it directly. It means the spammers can find it again and any legitimate visitor gets a blog with no navigation or anything. Much better if I can hide that from view!
That's exactly what I'm talking about. I was saying that if someone types www.domain.com/blog/ they just get redirected to your mambo site, but if you don't like that, then you could write a rule that just stops them from getting anything. Here's some code so you can see what I'm talking about. This isn't tested and I have no idea whether it will work for you.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} "!^http://(.*)yoursite.com/.*$" [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ".*/blog/$"
RewriteRule .* - [F]
The idea is that (line 1) if someone hits your site with an http referer that is not yoursite.com, and (line 2) they are asking for something in the blog directory, then (line 3), the url is rewritten to nothing and they get a blank page. Like I said, I don't know if this will work or not, but you can give it a try.
You may need to add a rule that excluded the /blogs/admin/ directory from this, unless you can access that through the iframe, too.
That rule might prevent the search engines bots to check your blog's pages as well as it prevents people coming directly from any other page (including search engines if some succeed indexing your blog).
It would be more interesting to make a more clever rule, redirecting from direct access to the wrapper and letting the search engines bots to access directly to the blog.
Try something like:
# Activate rewrite rules
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect direct accesses to the blog to the wrapper
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*yoursite.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog/.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !googlebot [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !slurp [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !msnbot [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !googlebot [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*yoursite.com/blog/)(.*) http://full_url_of_your_wrapper$1 [R=302,L]
However, search engines dislike you display different pages to your users than to their robots... You might be banned from a search engine or have a penality for that.
More information about the robots user agents identification can be found on [url=http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/active.html]The Web Robots Database[/url].
I was hoping that someone who knows mod_rewrite better would come along.
Ok, I have a working block now which gives a 404 error if someone tries to access the blog directly.
# Blocking direct access
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mydomain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*index\.php$
RewriteRule .* - [F]
It works in that nobody can access the blog directly, but I can still get full access from within my Mambo wrapper. Problem is, it shows the directory which is forbidden and I would rather have it so anyone coming to it doesn't get any clue that there is anything there to find.
I'm having the same issues within Mambo - but that htaccess doesn't work for me...
I'm trying to block access to the index.php as well...
I've been trying to solve this one for a year and no good solutions yet.
is there another .php file I can call in an I-Frame to display the blog?
I am no expert on .htaccess, but FWIW, here is my file, which works.
It is in the blog folder, not in the MOS htaccess.
# Apache configuration for the blog folder
# this will select the default blog template to be displayed
# if the URL is just .../blogs/
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php
# this will make register globals off in b2's directory
# just put a '#' sign before these three lines if you don't want that
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_flag register_globals off
# this is used to make b2 produce links like http://example.com/archives/m/200209
# if you renamed the file 'archives' to another name, please change it here too
<Files archives>

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} "disp=stats"
#RewriteRule .* - [F]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://%{REMOTE_ADDR}/ [R=301,L]
You will note that I have blocked all .biz and .ru domains - this is because I had a lot of spam coming from those two and no genuine visitors.
This seems to have worked for me because I have had no comment spam or referrer spam since (mind you, I got rid of referrers on my skin so that may have something to do with it too! )
Hope this helps!
Well, after blocking everyone from the index - (including me) I tried another approach (I don't think I'm cut out for htaccess.)
I made a new file -say myindex.php and copied the contents of /blog/index.php to it.
I then put a simple redirct on the original index.php to my wrapper.
I linked mambo to the myindex.php file and so far its working fine.
then I disallowed myindex.php in robots.txt so the search engines wouldn't find it.
*** Update that idea was moronic for obvious reasons. - ugh. Maybe if I used a stub file to call the blog ?
How about putting this in your skin up in the head section? It's ugly, but it works.
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function() {
if( this == top ) window.location.href='http://my.site.com/frame_wrapper.html';
// -->
If you put this in the head of the wrapper page, it can prevent duplicated frames (where the frameset holds another copy of the frameset)
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function() {
if( this != top ) top.location.href=window.location.href;
// -->

Sorry Rob, I thought I had explained what my .htaccess does. It does block all direct access to the blog - for everyone - BUT leaves the access from the Mambo wrapper intact.
So, for me, if someone goes to domain.com/blog/ they are blocked, if they go into my MOS site and click on my menu item which calls the blog inside the Mambo wrapper, it is access as usual.
Thats ok - I think my .htaccess hates me- when I put in something like yours it even blocked Mambo - maybe I had the syntax a bit off or I was a path off from the root directory - but I found a workaround .. I renamed my index using a stub file and then forwarded all calls to blog/index.php to the Mambo wrapper ... (then in robots.txt I diallowed all crawlers from my new index so I wouldn't have the same problem. )
Now that I think of it- when I ping that sends out the stub file call dosent it?
sigh, I hadn't thought of it until this morning... maybe I can hard code my pings ....
other than that though everyone pretty much ends up at the right place.
I wish someone would make a component B2 Evo for Mambo that would make my life complete..
than and maybe a few dozen beers ;)
In case it might help, I will tell you exactly what I did.
I was running Mambo from the root and the blog from a directory called, "blog". I hate iframes so for some time I had the blog link hardcoded into my MOS nav and I did a template that looked almost exactly the same, but with a link which made it clear that that particular link went back to the main site.
Then I started getting hit too hard by spammers and decided to make a change. I brought the blog "into" MOS with the wrapper, and decided I wanted to stop direct access - hence the post here.
The htaccess I posted here is in the blog folder, leaving the main htacess, with all the MOS stuff in it, untouched.
Once I had established that this was working for me, I changed the folfer name from "blog" to something else.
And sat back and watched who and how often spammers were hitting on the "old blog". That's when I decided to send them to hell (or, at least 301 them to oblivion).
My bandwidth use has dropped amazingly, there has been no comment or referral spam, but the genuine visitors to my site are still visiting my blog.
I sure hope you can get your htaccess working because you are in for a whole lot of work otherwise.
If you have everything in root and are using just the one htaccess you will have to be very careful about the order.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Capn - it just occurred to me...
If you do have Mambo and b2evo in the same directory you are very likely to run into problems.
If you haven't, then ignore the rest.
If you have, you should really move your blog into a blog folder. Makes management and htaccess easier and reduces the risks of conflict with Mambo.
Just a thought :-)
I agree with you about bridging/integrating b2evo and Mambo - that's been on my wish list for some time now.
nope, my blogs a subdirectory lower than the mambo install..
BUT - after screwing around for half the morning I was able to get a .htaccess file to work! Its probably overkill and sloppy but it does the job
W00T! !! Thanks everyone for helping me out here -- After such a long quest I feel like I should get an endscreen :D :D :D
Great news! I'm so glad you finally got it working :-)
sadly though there are consequences - all search engine strings will now fail no matter what as the link for the search will not pass through mambo to B2 - so every search string returns the current front page.
I guess I can live with that....
you couldn't even fix that with a re-write ....
I'll have to get all famous without using the search engines I guess.
I came up with a middle ground solution for this that may help... I let the searchbots in and if someone follows a link from a search engine they get through as well, all others go to the wrapper - heres the .htaccess for what its worth

Networking & Wireless | News
Six hundred rural schools in Venezuela are gaining access to the Internet through a new Wi-Fi deployment designed to give teachers and students access to academic and teaching materials from around the world.
Funded by a rural broadband community fund and handled by Hong Kong-based Altai Technologies, the installations will use satellite transmission through very small aperture terminals (VSATs) as the backbone and Altai A2 combination access points and bridges at each site to provide wireless access indoors and outdoors at the schools.
In a research paper by Francisco Proenza from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, which has as a focus on rural development, the advantage of pursuing the VSAT approach is that it allows service providers to bypass the development of wire-line networks except where they're needed for connecting to the public switched telephone network. "VSAT is expensive relative to wired options in urban settings, but it is an economically viable option to serve rural communities sparsely settled in rugged terrain," he wrote.
"The patented Altai Super WiFi solution offers an ideal solution for wireless connectivity, especially in areas that are lacking infrastructure," said acting CEO Bill Wong. "Without complicated cable wiring and network configurations, the Wi-Fi network can be built in a couple of days. Our Super WiFi Solution enables service providers to quickly build a wireless broadband network with wide coverage at a much lower total project cost."
Many of the implementations done by the company have been in distributed settings, such as container ports, shopping malls, and airports.

So if anything, it's now just a bit incomplete.
But still works fine. c:
I thinks that you making some confusion here, my kit don't have animated sprites!

June 09, 2013Reviewer: Garrett in CaliforniaRecently tried 5 different protein bars. On a scale of 1 to 10, I gave these a 9 - the highest rated. (My girlfriend gave them a 6.) However, at 18g net carbs, these might as well be a candybar. On the plus side, they have a reasonable amount of saturated fat (~1g/100 calories), but only 14g of protein, which for a protein bar is on the low end. Price wise they are about average.
If you are looking for something low-carb, high protein and mostly/all natural I would highly recommend you check out other options.This review is specific to Oatmega Bar, Chocolate Mint Crisp

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457
General news and features
Fire Chief Bob Howard points to the Tate fire district on a map that outlines the different fire districts in Pickens County. The blue dots represent fire stations. Pickens has two districts with residents that are considered "unprotected" by ISO, the fire preparedness rating agency.
Some Pickens residents, especially those in the west, may have had to do a double take when they opened their latest home owners' insurance bill.
According to Pickens County Fire Chief Bob Howard, that's because insurance providers are cracking down on rules they've already had in place. This action has translated to increased premiums – double, and sometimes triple – for homeowners.
"I'm getting complaints every day. With all the losses insurance companies have experienced in the last few years, they are getting very strict about their policies," Howard said.
For the rest of this story see our print or online editions.
Commissioner Robert Jones signed the proclamation on April 4 declaring April as Prevent Child Abuse month. Surrounding Mr. Jones were supporters and service providers working on the problem of child abuse in Pickens County.
Pickens County Progress Sports Columnist Tommy Gartrell
By Tommy Gartrell
One week into the professional baseball season, we have seen a bit of everything including near Yu Darvish's "almost perfect" game in Texas, Sandy Koufax's return to Dodger Stadium and thunder and lightning in Atlanta. Where do the Braves stand? How is the Atlanta-Arizona trade looking thus far?
Despite the Federal Highway Administration awarding reimbursement grants for renovations,
no progress has been made at the Tate Depot off Hwy. 53 East.
If you've driven by the old Tate Depot in the last seven years, you've likely noticed a banner touting a Transportation Enhancement grant received in 2007 to fund its relocation and renovation.
The banner is gone now, but the Tate Depot still sits with busted windows, rotting wood and dislodged shingles like it has for years.
"It's like rowing a boat with a rope," Pickens County Commission Chair Rob Jones said of the project, which has frustrated local leaders by derailing time and time again.
An indoor/outdoor water park, 400-room hotel and conference center is in the early stages of talks among developers, the county, and economic development council.
County officials recently heard plans for a proposed $130 million indoor/outdoor water park and 400-room resort hotel slated for Talking Rock, a development which could bring hundreds of jobs to the area.
The tourism impact of this development would also completely change the face of Pickens County's economy. However, the commissioner representing west Pickens said he has already heard serious concerns from his constituents.
For comments from local leaders, including the economic developer, the west district commissioner and members of the economic development council see our print and online editions.

Emerging from the South Texas brush, a majestic buck strides forward with his massive antlers held high.
His thick neck and powerfully muscled shoulders are indicative of a mature buck, probably six years of age. His impressive rack has some 14 countable points, but it is the beam mass and tine length that really makes him special.
He undoubtedly scores close to 200 Boone and Crockett points, and you could spend a lifetime in the ranch country and never see a better buck. Nearby, a nervous doe sniffs the air suspiciously as a young spike stands alertly behind her. With ears cocked forward, eyes riveted ahead and glistening nose aquiver, the buck is hyper alert to any hint of danger.
The anxious doe has passed behind him into the protective cover of the brush, but he stands his ground. The doe reappears on the edge of the woods, but continues to test the air. Meanwhile, the buck has let his guard down and is peacefully browsing amidst the fresh growth.
Suddenly, he throws his head up and peers back over his shoulder. As he swivels, the breath taking sweep of his velvet clad antlers are fully revealed. He returns to browsing and is soon joined by the slender doe, which peers timidly around his broad shoulders before tiptoeing delicately by. Each spring whitetail bucks begin to grow a new set of antlers and by late September most will shed the velvet like sheath that has protected their newly forming racks.
This buck will be shedding his velvet soon, and if I am lucky enough to encounter him again he will be sporting freshly hardened antlers. After a leisurely browse, the buck moves off toward the woods from where he first appeared, and soon he vanishes into the cloaking mesquite.

|Nicholas Wade's Updated Genesis
|Rep. King Wants to Shine Light on College Admissions
by Christopher Chantrill
June 28, 2006 at 11:01 pm
IN THE US THERE is a swelling movement of women who are wondering if career and children are a sensible combination, indeed whether, as Carolyn Graglia puts it, market production has any moral or economic advantage over domestic production.
Now British working mothers are beginning to wonder too. Writes Camilla Cavendish: For me, the desire to be with my children is physical, like an elastic band stretching. I cant be away for too long.
And now theres a poll to back her up.
This week, a YouGov poll of 1,736 mothers in First magazine demonstrates how profoundly unhappy many mothers are with living this way. More than half feel guilty about time spent away from their children. Two thirds think that mothers should stay at home with their babies and toddlers during the first few years — though nationally, less than half do. A third would like to reduce their working hours, and more than a third say they would give up work altogether if they could.
How did we get to this point, where mothers have been tossed into the workplace and told that it is good to leave their children to a childminder? And where they are exhausting themselvesfor what?
Here we have the most prosperous society the world has ever seen, and mothers are running themselves ragged?
There seem to be two trends on a collision course. The National Center for Health Statistics says that in 1995 6.6 percent of couples were childfree, up from 2.4 percent in the 1980s But wealthy hedge fund managers are going for four and five children, and many people are saying that three is the new two.
Writes Cavendish:
We live at a time of greater opportunities for women, of greater job flexibility, of higher average incomes, than at any period in history. Yet we increasingly talk as though we have no control over our lives. We are the first generation to feel that we cannot afford to bring up our own children.
Yes, what is that all about? In the richest society we say we cannot afford to bring up our own children? Who are we kidding?
There is this to think about. When women are at work, governments get revenue from their market production. And they get more control over the nations children. Its all about power, as the postmodernists say.|
Christopher Chantrill blogs at www.roadtothemiddleclass.com. His Road to the Middle Class is forthcoming.
When we began first to preach these things, the people appeared as awakened from the sleep of agesthey seemed to see for the first time that they were responsible beings, and that a refusal to use the means appointed was a damning sin.
Finke, Stark, The Churching of America, 1776-1990
In 1911... at least nine million of the 12 million covered by national insurance were already members of voluntary sick pay schemes. A similar proportion were also eligible for medical care.
Green, Reinventing Civil Society
We have met with families in which for weeks together, not an article of sustenance but potatoes had been used; yet for every child the hard-earned sum was provided to send them to school.
E. G. West, Education and the State
Law being too tenuous to rely upon in [Ulster and the Scottish borderlands], people developed patterns of settling differences by personal fighting and family feuds.

The primary thing to keep in mind about German and Russian thought since
1800 is that it takes for granted that the Cartesian, Lockean or Humean scientific and
philosophical conception of man and nature... has been shown by indisputable evidence to be

I mean three systems in one: a predominantly market economy; a polity respectful of the rights of the individual to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; and a system of cultural institutions moved by ideals of liberty and justice for all.
In short, three dynamic and converging systems functioning as one: a democratic polity, an economy based on markets and incentives, and a moral-cultural system which is plural and, in the largest sense, liberal.
Michael Novak, The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism
The incentive that impels a man to act is always some uneasiness...
But to make a man act [he must have]
the expectation that purposeful behavior has the power to remove

[In the] higher Christian churches... they saunter through the liturgy like Mohawks along a string of scaffolding who have long since forgotten their danger. If God were to blast such a service to bits, the congregation would be, I believe, genuinely shocked. But in the low churches you expect it every minute.

John Lackey injury makes bad day worse for Red Sox
|04.06.13 at 3:44 pm ET
TORONTO ' While Saturday proved to be by far the most lackluster performance by the Red Sox during this young season, their 5-0 loss to the Blue Jays before a Rogers Centre crowd of 45,797 seemed secondary.
The Red Sox may have lost one of their starting pitchers for a significant period, with John Lackey injuring his right arm on a 2-2 pitch to Jose Reyes in the fifth inning. After delivering the low-and-inside slider, Lackey walked around the mound with his right arm dangling.
The righty, who was making his first appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery on Nov. 1, 2011, could be seen grabbing at his biceps before being ushered off the field by Red Sox' trainer Rick Jameyson.
Lackey could actually be seen expressing discomfort in regards to his right arm during the previous two pitches leading up to the final offering. (For more on the injury, click here.)
Before his injury, Lackey had turned in a solid outing, giving up just two runs, coming on a two-run, fourth-inning homer by J.P. Arencibia. The hurler finished allowing five hits while striking out eight and walking one.
Lackey was replaced by Alfredo Aceves. The reliever ran into trouble in the sixth inning when he surrendered a three-run homer to Colby Rasmus. Aceves finished things off for the Sox, pitching the final 3 2/3 innings.
Toronto starter J.A. Happ, who hadn't pitched since Sept. 3, 2012 after breaking the navicular bone in his right foot, baffled the Red Sox for much of the day. The lefty gave up just one hit (a leadoff, first-inning single to Jacoby Ellsbury) over 5 1/3 innings, striking out six and walking three. Dustin Pedroia would manage the only other hit of the day for the Red Sox.
The closest the Red Sox would come to scoring in the third inning when Pedro Ciriaco was gunned down at home, trying to score on a grounder to first base by Ellsbury.

Film review | Parental Guidance - Babysitting mayhem for old-school duo Billy Crystal & Bette Midler
A comic culture clash ensues after scatty grandparents Artie and Diane step in to look after their daughter Alice's three children for a few days in Parental Guidance. Billy Crystal's Artie has just been fired from his job as a minor league baseball announcer; Bette Midler's Diane used to be a singing weather girl on TV. Unsurprisingly, when it comes to child rearing both are wildly at odds with the control-freaky, sugar-free, mollycoddling 21st-century parenting practised by daughter Marisa Tomei and son-in-law Tom Everett Scott. The film's gags are predictable and fairly lame, but the stars' diehard fans will enjoy Crystal's snarky one-liners and, yes, Midler's singing.

Help the FDA develop reasonable, science-based rules regarding manure by completing this Farmer Survey
VABF and the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) are looking for information to better understand how farmers are using untreated or raw manure on their farms. We're asking for this now because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently gathering information regarding on-farm use of manure, as well as existing scientific research on manure use and food safety, with the goal of developing reasonable, science based guidelines for time intervals between a manure application and subsequent produce harvest. Learn more about the survey.
Please complete this survey by MAY 20 so we can aggregate the responses and integrate them into the comments NSAC will provide to FDA. We recognize this is a busy time of a year for you, and we apologize for asking for responses in such a short time window. The questions shouldn't take more than 20 minutes! Your input is so valuable to this process. Thank you!
