Easy Active Directory integration with Likewise Open
The likewise-open package contains three diagnostics tools – lwinet, lwimsg, and lwiinfo – that are useful for debugging, among other things.
Because Likewise is based on the Samba Winbindd code, the tools will handle the tasks normally performed by the Samba Winbind daemon. By entering lwiinfo, you can check the connection to the domain controller.
The tool corresponds to wbinfo in the Samba suite. Both of these tools query the Winbind daemon. For example, lwiinfo -u lists all the domain users in the default domain:
EXAMPLE+mokr000 EXAMPLE+phkr000 EXAMPLE+wane000 [...]
The same principle applies to groups in the directory service, which are output by the -g option. This ensures that Linux knows the AD names. Entering lwiinfo -g lists the known groups:
EXAMPLE+accounts EXAMPLE+marketing [...]
Again, Likewise uses the + character, configured in lwiauthd.conf, as the Winbind separator. The lwimsg tool corresponds to smbcontrol and is used to control Winbindd, setting the debug level, for example. The counterpart to the Samba net tool, which is used for remote administration of a domain, is lwinet.
After installing the software, it is a good idea to try logging on to AD. The user name format has to match the format defined for the directory service. For example, if you keep the default setting for domain and username separation, but change the separator to the plus sign, users will need to enter their names as DOMAIN+username when they log in at the console or with a desktop manager (see Figure 5):
ubuntu Login: EXAMPLE+wane000 Password: EXAMPLE+wane000@ubuntu:~$
As mentioned before, Likewise authenticates users via the Kerberos protocol by requesting a TGT from the KDC before going on to install the ticket locally on the client as /tmp/krb5cc_UID (see Listing 2). The klist command displays a user's valid tickets.
A user who has a ticket can access kerberized services on the network without logging on separately with the network service.
Listing 2
klist Displays Local Tickets
01 $ klist 02 Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1560282197 03 Default principal: email@example.com 04 05 Valid starting Expires Service principal 06 08/12/08 13:48:08 08/12/08 23:48:08 email@example.com 07 renew until 08/19/08 13:48:08 08 08/12/08 13:48:08 08/12/08 23:48:08 email@example.com 09 renew until 08/19/08 13:48:08
Single Sign-on
To allow a network service to grant a user password-less access, the administrator has to assign a Service Principal Name (SPN) to the service. The name identifies the service within the AD environment. The service requests a service ticket for the Service Principal from the KDC, identifying itself with its TGT.
The SPN comprises a service definition, followed by a slash and the fully qualified hostname of the server, an at sign, and the domain.
Service definitions include host, ftp, or pop. If a user establishes an SSH connection to another Likwise-managed AD member computer, the kerberized service presents the user's TGT and requests a service ticket from the KDC for, say, the SPN firstname.lastname@example.com – this assumes that the local ticket cache does not already have a ticket. The service ticket contains the user ID of the requesting user and the session key. Likewise Open encrypts this with the server key and stores it in the user cache like the TGT (see Listing 3).
Listing 3
Tickets in the Credentials Cache
01 $ klist 02 Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1560282197 03 Default principal: email@example.com 04 05 Valid starting Expires Service principal 06 08/13/08 15:48:29 08/14/08 01:48:30 email@example.com 07 renew until 08/20/08 15:48:29 08 08/13/08 15:48:30 08/14/08 01:48:30 email@example.com 09 renew until 08/20/08 15:48:29 10 08/13/08 15:48:38 08/14/08 01:48:30 host/ubuntu.example.org@ 11 renew until 08/20/08 15:48:29 12 08/13/08 15:48:38 08/14/08 01:48:30 email@example.com 13 renew until 08/20/08 15:48:29
The SSH client automatically sends the encrypted service ticket and an encrypted timestamp to validate the authenticator's sshd. This guarantees that each ticket request is unique, while ensuring that the client really does possess the session key. Without the authenticator, it would be easier for an attacker to sniff a ticket off the network traffic and launch a replay attack.
The server validates the service ticket presented to it. To to so, it refers to the local keytab file, /etc/krb5.keytab. The file stores the server key, which the server uses to decrypt the service ticket, thus revealing the session key. The authenticator is based on the session key; if it succeeds, the user is authenticated without a password (Figure 6).
Establishing a Connection
Likewise Open automatically configures existing SSH clients and clients on joining the domain, allowing them to use Kerberos to authenticate in the future. Server-side, Likewise adds the lines
GSSAPIAuthentication yes GSSAPICleanupCredentials yes
to the /etc/ssh/sshd_config configuration file. Likewise also adds the following lines for an SSH client:
GSSAPIAuthentication yes GSSAPIDelegateCredentials yes
The GSSAPIDelegateCredentials instruction passes the TGT to the target server. For all other settings, the software uses the Generic Security Services API (GSSAPI), a generic interface for security services such as Kerberos.

People with square faces tend to have strong, angular jaw lines. If you measure a square face, you will find that it is about as wide at the top and bottom as it is long on each side. You can wear your hair in any length or style that you wish if you have a square face, but there are certain aspects of the cut that should be factored in so that your hairstyle is as flattering to your features as possible. In this article, we will discuss how to pick a hairstyle for a square face.
Things You'll Need
- Fashion magazines
- Hair stylist
How to Pick a Hairstyle for a Square Face
Determine any guiding parameters. If you definitely want a short haircut, or you have other requirements, such as your style cannot need more than 15 minutes of maintenance each morning, factor this in when you start looking for hairstyles because these dictates will influence how and where you look for your style.
Make sure that you actually have a square face. Square faces have defined jaws and are roughly square shaped due to broad foreheads, high cheekbones and short, angular chins. If your features do not meet this description, you may be selecting your hairstyle by incorrect parameters.
Look in fashion magazines to find some examples of cuts you like. Try to focus on the hair rather than on the faces of the people. As long as they have a square face, do not pay much more attention to their facial characteristics. A haircut can make you look glamorous, but it cannot make you look like someone else unless you already bear a resemblance to that person. Square faces look best when hair is longer around the face. Straight hair is generally most flattering, and extremely long hair is also very popular among women with square faces because it softens their feaures.
Consult your hair stylist. Take the pictures of the cut that you want duplicated to the salon. Ask your stylist if she can help you imagine what your hair will look like with the new cut. Also ask her if she thinks it is a flattering cut. A good stylist will tell you the truth and steer you toward a version of your desired hairstyle that will look best on you.

Judging Criteria:
I'm going to try to be as objective as possible in my judging (aside from the last judging category). These are the criteria upon which your entry will be judged along with their weighting. I will not be releasing the scores publicly.
- Execution (out of 20) - keep the details crisp and clear. Ensure the lighting is correct. Patterns and markings are aligned with the contours of the body. Edges are well blended.
- Difficulty (out of 10) - reflections, transparency through clothing or showing tufts of fur through lace, integrating the character seamlessly into a background, etc will obviously ramp up the difficulty of a piece.
- Character design (out of 10) - the degree and amount of effort put into the hybridization is important. I'm obviously going to score a kemonomimi (animal ears and tail only) much lower than a well blended character. Likewise, in the other direction, I will not look favourably on a piece that takes whole animal heads, legs, paws/hooves and pastes them right on top of a human body.
- Concept (out of 5) - providing an overall idea for the picture that is unique or interesting will definitely score points
- X-factor (out of 5) - this one is a purely subjective judging criteria where I will award points if I really like your piece or not
1st Place - 2396 points
2nd Place - 636 points
3rd Place - 396 points
Honourable mention(s) - 100 points
People's choice award - 396 points
Important Note: One person cannot win more than one prize (except the people's choice award).
Why zoomorphic?
Anthro or anthropomorphic isn't strictly correct when considering the origins of the words. Anthropomorphism means that a non-human entity has human-like qualities. When dealing with photomorphs, usually the base is a human and you give them animal qualities, hence the difference between anthropomorphic and zoomorphic! I suppose furry could apply to either as it has no implication that start point was either animal or human. To the layman, everything just falls under the anthro umbrella anyway!
Want to join in but don't know where to start?

The next Israeli general election may not take place until mid-2013, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is already trying to position himself.
This newspaper, along with almost the entirety of Anglo-Jewry, does everything within its power to oppose the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement.
Binyamin Netanyahu has offered good wishes to the world's newest country following its independence on July 9 at midnight.
The Republic of South Sudan was created in 2005 in a peace agreement ending decades of civil war. The Israeli Prime Minister said Israel recognised the new state and added: "We wish it much success."
Human rights groups and Jewish organisations have reiterated calls for Hamas to release an Israeli soldier kidnapped five years ago.
Binyamin Netanyahu has warned that Israel will make conditions for jailed terrorists less relaxed in the face of Hamas' rejection of an appeal to prove Gilad Shalit is still alive.
There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads to fortune", said Brutus to Julius Caesar. That tide is now smashing its way through the decrepit monarchies and ossified dictatorships of the Middle East. Tunisia's President ben-Ali has fled to Saudi Arabia. Hosni Mubarak, former strong-man of Egypt, is to go on trial in August, together with his two sons.
Israel's president has warned of the dangers of "foot-dragging" when it comes to peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.
Shimon Peres said he was concerned by the stalemate situation and feared that Israel would become a binational state.
Meir Dagan could never be described as a lily-liveredliberal.
In eight years at the head of Mossad, he embarked on a series of clandestine operations that, according to senior Israeli officials, "stopped at nothing to disrupt the axis between Iran, Syria, Hamas and Hizbollah".
The grandfather of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit has sharply criticised Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's effort to free his grandson, calling him the one obstacle to Sgt Shalit's freedom.
During a brief visit to London, Zvi Shalit, 85, admitted it was difficult to keep hope alive when nothing had been heard of Sgt Shalit since a short videotape was released by Hamas in 2009.
Israeli security forces are on high alert today as the anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem is marked.
Some 3,000 police officers will be patrolling the city as Israelis hold events celebrating Jerusalem Day and marking 44 years since the Six Day War.

Sentiment: Buy
We made it to 89.94 . A close over 90 would have been nice but A good week and rally still intact. Next week it should get interesting.
Sentiment: Hold
almost pulled the trigger and got out yesterday. Glad i Didn't now. looking good in premarket, lot of hype on tv this am about the stock market surge, Today it may break above and close above and that would be a great set-up for next week!
I am out as of close 1/25/2013. get back in later.
Here we go folks. If not today then tomorrow we could see it happen. Glta
Not sure I trust this action. Why did we pullback. Maybe not 90 today after all
Why not? Top ten holdings have mostly P'E's of 40 plus. Its stillcheap right?
Think about this instead. 2012 Q4 GDP probably 1.2%, 2013 Q1 may be 2.2% and Q2 GDP may be 3%. I think the 'E' will come.
lol! Then there are those components that don't even have an E to compare with the P!

Buses and school websites could carry advertising, and Franklin schools could try to find ways to get students into certain classes that result in more funding from the state.
These were among the ideas for raising money for Franklin schools. Six school board candidates discussed their ideas at a forum conducted by two Advanced Placement government classes at Franklin Community High School.
The students wanted to know how the candidates would deal with funding shortages, if they supported a districtwide orchestra, how to improve athletics and if they supported new laws or proposals.
The stage was made up of five students who hosted the event and asked the candidates questions. The five students were Mason Clark, Ethan Clendening, Olivia Daily, Savannah Kramer and Connor Shank.
Next month, voters will choose the occupants of two seats on the nonpartisan school board. Candidates attending the forum were Christopher Bass, Cory Cooper, Tim Lavery, William Maschmeyer, Kristine Ott and Joe Skeel.
Candidate Bryan Wertz did not attend.
Larry Sheek's name will appear on the ballot for the Nov. 6 election, but he no longer is seeking a seat.
How Franklin candidates would deal with a $2 million shortfall because of property tax caps was one of four questions students developed as part of their class. Two impromptu questions came from the audience and the Franklin Community Education Foundation.
Skeel suggested finding other ways to bring the school district money, such as selling advertising on the side of school buses and on schools' websites and social media pages.
"There should be nothing that is off of the table," he said.
Maschmeyer, the current school board president, proposed refinancing some school district loans to lower payments. He added the district trimmed more than $3 million from the budget through utility savings, early retirement for teachers and other cuts.
Cooper, a former Franklin industrial technology teacher, mentioned offering some elective classes that bring in money from the state.
Ott proposed more community partnerships.
Lavery said the district needs a long-range plan so tax dollars could be used more effectively.
Bass recommended a line-by-line review of the budget. For example, employees should make sure they aren't buying the same product at different prices from the same vendor, he said.
"In these trying times, the (communication) line needs to be open," Bass said.
The government class asked if the candidates would support a districtwide orchestra. Nearly all the candidates said they would if a feasible plan were presented.
They also discussed whether the middle school, intermediate school and elementary schools should be on a late start Wednesday similar to the high school's plan, which gives teachers time to meet and develop plans, train and analyze test data.
All candidates said each school should make that choice for their teachers and students. Bass said parents and their schedules should be considered in deciding whether to start late.

The Janki Foundation for Spirituality in Health Care
This is to announce that the name of the Foundation has changed to The Janki Foundation for Spirituality in Health Care. We are in the process of reviewing our activities and developing a new website so the new name is not reflected anywhere on this site. If you are on our mailing list, we will let you know when the new site is launched in a few weeks' time. If you are not on our mailing we invite you to Join our Mailing List.
The Janki Foundation is a UK charity promoting spirituality in healthcare. While there have been great advances in the field of medicine on the physical level, the pressure to tackle ill health solely at the level of physical symptoms has been at the expense of a more human-centred, spiritually informed ethic and practice.
The Janki Foundation acknowledges the central role of positive thoughts and feelings, compassion and kindness in maintaining wellbeing and preventing illness. This approach to medical care embraces the idea of the person being as important as the illness. Through publications, experiential learning, talks, and networking, the Foundation provides opportunities to further such approaches among individuals and professionals.

The loan they'll take out will benefit small micro businesswomen like Regina. She indicates that this is her second year with Pro Mujer having joined thanks to a promotional invitation that the institution gave in her zone. She currently has a crafts business knitting sweaters that she started 8 years ago while working with an exporter. She subsequently became independent and set up her own workshop.
The loan she'll take out is to increase capital. She'll buy wool from wholesalers in the city of El Alto and after making them will sell them to order. This way of working allows her to support her family since she's married with two children. When asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, she answers the health training and the credit.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Regina es integrante, ella indica que es el segundo año que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por invitación de la promoción que realizó la institución en su zona.

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.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Gov. Beverly Perdue and state education leaders say a new outside report on graduation rates is proof North Carolina is moving its public schools in the right direction.
Education Week magazine released a report Tuesday saying North Carolina's high school graduation rate is higher than the national average and showed the second greatest percentage improvement of any state from 1998 to 2008.
Perdue says the news should throw cold water on Republicans who have said the state's education system is broken. She says the GOP-led Legislature's budget currently on her desk cuts education too deep.
The Education Week report calculated North Carolina's graduation rate at almost 73 percent in 2008.

The noise is not predictable but occurs more on light braking. It sounds like a solenoid chattering from underneath the car. Could it be the ABS modulator? Last year the dealer bled the brakes and the noise disapeared for 6 months, but now the cold weather is here it has re-appeared. Some days it occurs a number of times and other days it doesn't occur at all. It seems to occur more during cold weather.

Summary Statement of Research Interests
- My research focuses on the influence of French catholic discourse on the construction and evolution of the category of hysteria in XIXth and XXth century France. My research proposes to go beyond the traditional conception of XIXth century hysteria as the historical continuation or displacement of Early Modern cases of religious possession and offers to consider the birth of modern hysteria in the context of the religious and political tensions that agitated French society at the time.

I just got off the phone with my father, who recently started a new blog (thanks to a birthday present from me). His blog has been online for over 5 months now with his own domain, and he wanted to know why things were so quiet.
"5 months and no comments, or emails!?" He asked, "What's the deal?".
"The deal," I explained to him, "is links."
Like it or not, the most important ingredient of getting traffic to a website is incoming links from external websites. Unless you already own a network of hundreds of established sites, which is very unlikely, link building can be by far the most difficult part about promoting a website, but It doesn't have to be. Below are some tips and examples of some easy ways to get lots of good permanent links.
Link Bait
The Definition of Link Bait": Link Bait is any content on a website, that is especially interesting, controversial, or funny, that will catch people's attention, and therefore be linked to from many other websites. Put simply, it is viral marketing for the web.
Examples of Link Bait
- The Million Dollar Homepage
This site, created by student Alex Tew was a great example of link baiting. His idea to sell pixels on an ordinary website was so bold and outrageous, that it attracted mass amounts of attention and links from all over the web, and he raised over 1 million dollars in a few short months. Still amazing to see.
- The Redscowl Bluesingsky SEO Contest
A much smaller example of link baiting that I did back in January of 2006. It was a simple SEO contest that drew some controversy because it was announced on the heels of a few other SEO contests. It was small, but very effective. Official Redscowl Bluesingsky Contest Page
Link bait can be anything at all. It just has to catch peoples attention. It may sound like a difficult task, if you are trying to come up with another Million Dollar Home Page, but I suggest that you try to think on a smaller scale. "Mini Link Bait" 🙂
Practical Link Bait Ideas
- Write Articles: If you have a talent for writing, then by all means write. People are always on the lookout for good content either to read, to link to in their blogs, or to steal and use on their own sites ( 🙂 lets face it, it happens) but most likely, a percentage of those who steal are going to feel somewhat guilty and leave a link back to the original author.
- Take Pictures: If you are a good photographer, then go out and take pictures and publish them. A viral example of this would be taking pictures of celebrities, or of big events, but even every day pictures of scenery, famous landmarks, and cities can draw a lot of attention. The key here is Collections, collections, collections. That's how you draw the links.
- Aggregate Other Peoples Link Bait or Viral Content: Ever hear of the top 10 list? These can be really popular. Think of a topic and go digging. A few examples are: Top 10 Web 2.0 designs, Top 10 Family Guy Vids On YouTube, Top 10 Ajax Tutorials for Beginners. You get the picture.
- Photoshop Something Are you a whiz at Photoshop? Make something funny, controversial, or interesting. A good example would be how much attention the before and after celebrity and model touch-up galleries get.
- Make a Tutorial Are you a master of CSS, HTML, Programming, Photoshop, or even cooking? Whatever it is, other people want to know how. A good tutorial can draw some serious links.
- Make a Video Are you a Video Editing Guru? Make something funny, controversial, or interesting. A good example would be how much attention the before and after celebrity and model touch-up galleries get.
- Make a Tool Are you good at programming or scripting? The extreme example here would be to make a new Ebay or some awesome new Social Bookmarking site, but for the average joe, something simple will suffice. Mortgage calculators are played out, but it couldn't hurt to make one anyway if that's the market you're in. Make a new seo tool. Make a tool that tells you what size snowboard you should ride. Get creative. If it already exists, make it better.
Getting Your Link Bait Seen
With the recent surge in popularity of social bookmarking sites like de.li.icio.us and digg.com, you can submit your links, and they will instantly be seen (and judged) by a huge audience of web junkies who are just waiting to find the next awesome link, but be ware, many social bookmarkers are (and even more believe that they are) the savviest of the web savvy, so if your idea of link bait is not up to snuff, be prepared to be shot down in a big way.
Dive into social bookmarking sites with these heavies: Digg.com, Reddit.com, de.lic.io.us
Article Submissions
Submitting your articles (containing links back to your site) to the free article sites is definitely a valid option for getting links, though it is kind of like closing your eyes, casting it to the wind, and hoping that out of all the spam sites that pick up the article, and leave in the link, maybe one quality authority site will use it.
If you want a more precise and sure-fire way to make sure your article will be placed on a high quality, relevant site, you should actively seek out blogs, or other sites that you want a link from. Lots of sites, including this one, will accept well written articles, in exchange for a few included links. Just ask.
Link Requests
This is by far the most tedious work out there. I know, I did link building for a law firm's "Mesothelioma" sites for a few months. It wasn't worth the $25 /hour I was paid to do it. Ok, even though that was an extreme case, asking for links is not much fun, but here are a few tips to make it a little easier.
Link Request Tips:
- Ask someone you know: It's always easier to talk to someone you know about linking partnerships.
- Ask for a Reciprocal Link. If a one-way link is out of the question, ask for a reciprocal link (meaning I link to you if you link to me.
- Are you a student, a teacher? Do you know one? If so, you may be sitting on top of a linking goldmine and not even know it. Students, especially college students, and teachers, usually get a personal web space. If you have access to one, use it.
- Donate money. This one is geared more toward the big corporation with the really dry website. You need to have some money for this, but not all websites have the option of putting up some crazy link bait to try to get links. It's kind of hard to turn down someone who just donated money to your organization.
Hire a Professional
Don't want to get your hands dirty? There are lots of good SEO firms out there who are willing to do the dirty work for you, but take caution: Be very choosy when dealing with SEO companies. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Most importantly, do your research first, or else you are going to end up paying $200 bucks for someone to submit your site to Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Something that you could have done in a few minutes, and that probably won't do you any good anyway.
Buy or Rent link space
Using this tactic for SEO purposes has been generally discouraged by the search team at Google, but despite the warnings, there has been a huge surge in it's popularity. I think the general consensus is "How are they going to know if my link is paid for?".
Where you'll find Paid Links
- ebay – ebay sells everything, including links. Just do some searching, and you'll find tons, but be careful, there are lots of crooks looking to scam you, so again: Do your research first, and always check out potential links well before bidding.
- Check to make sure the site is listed in Google by just searching for it's domain name.
- Check to see how many backlinks the site has in all 3 search engines. No Links, No bid.
- Make sure the site is relevant, and ranks well in Google for any terms you are interested in.
- make sure the site gets pretty good traffic. Just in case you don't get any improvement in ranking, make sure you will at least get some good referrals (or visits to your site from the link)
- Text-link-ads – This is a service that basically caters to link sellers and buyers, allowing buyers to take their pick of any of the links from their link sellers.
- Paid Pages – Why buy a link when you can get a whole page? There are lots of new services that specialize in selling or renting whole pages on established websites.
Presell Page Man is a service that offers space on tons of "crusty" old websites, which can be very effective for improving rank in the search engines. Publish Your Keyword is another example of a site that will sell an entire page on their site. Both of these options give you the opportunity to have total control over every aspect of the page that links to your site.
A directory is a categorized lists of links from the internet. Most sites that host directories allow anyone to submit a link to be added, however there are many directories that also charge. One well know example of a free directory is DMOZ.org. A well know example of a pay directory is the Yahoo Directory. Of all directories, DMOZ.org is the most important, and also the hardest to get into. They always reminded me of that "Soup Nazi" episode of Sienfeld.
Blogs and Forums
Blogs and Forums are always an option when it comes to getting links, because usually they allow you to have some type of signature, or they give you the capability to post links. But before you go out and register for every forum and blog and start posting links, be warned: Most forums and blogs that are worth having a link from are pretty heavily moderated by the locals, so any activity from a new member that looks even remotely like spam will instantly be removed, and your efforts will have backfired.
If you plan to join blogs or forums, it's probably best to hang out a while and just familiarize yourself with the site. Post a few comments, and get to know some people before you try to post any links.
- Some Useful Queries to Find Relevant Blogs & Forums
I am mentioning these queries last on purpose to weed out the skimmers. These queries are Google specific. Gov and edu links are by far the most valuable links, so these 4 example queries are to show the kind of link real estate that's out there. Just replace keyword with your targeted keywords.
- site:gov inurl:blog keyword
- site:edu inurl:blog keyword
- site:gov inurl:forums keyword
- site:edu inurl:forums keyword
Link from your own sites.
Yes, linking from your own sites is a viable option, but just how effective it will be depends on how many sites you have, and how closely related they are. For example: If you have 10 domains all hosted on the same 1and1 or godaddy account, then they are all going to likely be hosted on the same ip address, and probably won't be as valuable because of that. If you can have a few hosting accounts with different hosting companies, then interlinking between different hosts is likely to be more effective.

He caught all 6 of his targets this week including a touchdown this week after Celek went down. Could be a viable option off the waiver wire for those who are desperate. Foles looks to be trying to find his TE over the last couple of weeks. Celek had 8 targets the week before. Although I am going to be targeting Scheffler first.
Also, Harbor got a few targets that week as well, so clearly Foles likes going to his tight ends. Also, maybe Harbor has a nice rapport with Foles since he probably practiced with the 2nd team squad throughout the year.

I am a wife and mom to a very supportive husband and three adorable kids: ages 6, 3 1/2 and 9 months. I'm so lucky to get to stay home with them, and while we definitely don't live the high life, I do feel so blessed to be able to be at home with them, to teach them, and play with them and set an example for them. I'm honored to be asked to guest blog over here at Noodles on the Wall and to share some of my insight with you on how I try to encourage my kids to be creative, as it's what makes ME happy!
I feel like I used to be able to do fun, creative things more often when I just had one kid...and even when I had two. (duh, right?) I had more time and I had more energy. The two of us, or sometimes the three of us, would benefit from constantly doing art projects and learning activities together. What the heck happened!!!? I only added one more kid, but unfortunately, with my oldest in school, one in preschool a couple of times a week, and then a new baby.........I wonder do I do it at all anymore?
So, I don't do creatively awesome projects with my kids every day. I don't even always do a creative project with them once a week. Truthfully, we squeeze them in when we can. Sometimes that means not everyone gets to participate, and other times, it means that we do it in shifts. But this much is true, we all love to work on things together!
What role does creativity play in your home?
I try to set a good example for my children on a daily or weekly basis by showing them how creativity can make us happy and how it makes me happy. I love the satisfaction of completing a project, a quilt or a new cardigan. I love figuring out "The MacGyver" way to fix a broken toy so it's as good as new. I also enjoy checking a project or activity off of my list of things to do! The best is that my kids LOVE to do little projects with me and of course, I with them!
What inspires you to take on the creative with your kids?
I admit that I feel a small amount of success as a mom after we complete a little project together. I feel like I'm not just surviving as a mom or just doing the bare minimum. On those days, I have succeeded in being a fun, creative mom! The more little half-an-hour projects we do, the more successful I feel, and the more fun my kids have. My kids will remember spending time with me and will hopefully cherish that time as they get older: that's what inspires me.
Now, while we totally don't spend all day, every day creating...we do enjoy a good project together. It can range from building a pirate ship from a kit with my 6 year old, digging dinosaur bones out of a block of sand or using perler beads to create a butterfly with my 3 year old. I love to get those kits at the store for my kid's birthdays. Then I have a go to project to do with them.
I think the important part of creating with your kids is to give them the tools they need to create and then allow them to use their imaginations to do it however they want. Tools meaning markers, scissors, paper, glue, glitter, cookie sheets with magnets, or a store-bought kit......whatever!
When my kids show me something that they've drawn either at school or just at home, rather than saying "ooooh, what is that?" I love to say: "Wow! Tell me about this!" You can see the wheels in their little heads turning and see the pride shining on their faces.
There are so many ways to "create" and there are so many places (ie Pinterest) that give us ideas. Our kids deserve to know the joy of what being creative brings to our lives.
What are your children's ideal noodle dish?
Probably just plain-old-unromantic spaghetti!

BALTIMORE (AP) — A person familiar with the deal says Dan Duquette has signed a three-year contract to become the Baltimore Orioles' president of baseball operations.
The person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Orioles haven't announced the deal, says Duquette signed the contract Sunday.
The 53-year-old Duquette was general manager for the Montreal Expos from 1991-94 and Boston Red Sox from 1994-2002. He has not worked in a major league front office since leaving the Red Sox.
He is the cousin of Jim Duquette, who was vice president of baseball operations with the Orioles in 2005 and 2006.
Duquette was the second candidate to be interviewed more than once. The other, Tony LaCava of the Toronto Blue Jays, turned down the Orioles' offer.

I have a live WP site at http://www.example.com/site1
I am using a custom theme heavily modified and the person I'm working with wants to use a new theme that will require some modification before use and will also require some content changes. Because the site is live and I need to make changes I cannot just switch themes.
I'm *thinking* I need to make a second copy of the site, including the DB at: http://www.example.com/site2 as well as make a second DB, then do all my work there. Once I'm done make that live.
What are your thoughts on this? How exactly do I go about doing this?

have bbt prefereed in my ira for income. some posters mentioned it would be called early. is the call price 25.oo. i do not need to lose a lot of money because i will retire soon and need everything i have. any helpful info would be appreciated.
Ted, if you own this paper, retrieve the prospectus you receveid from you broker or go SEC filings on the BB&T website and look for yourself. Given it was a "new issue" there should be a prospectus supplement filed(I think this is a rule 424B5 filing)around the date the offering was completed. I managed to buy some of these shares at the "IPO" price and while I have enjoyed the 8.95% coupon, it is a no-brainer for the company to call them at the first opportunity.
As I am sure you know, the quarterly "dividends" on these securities are taxed as ordinary income while any gains or losses are treated as "capital" in nature. In other words, they are taxed just like a bond.
Again, look it up for youself. I think all of this information can be found in the prospectus summary.

BB&T Trust Preferred Stock Shareholders - Start Paying Attention
Posted by Doug K. Le Du, Author of Preferred Stock Investing at 3:14 PM
BBT, the nation's ninth largest bank, announced today that it will be issuing new debt (bonds) or stock (common and/or traditional preferred) in order to generate the cash it needs to retire (call and buy back from shareholders) their existing Trust Preferred Stocks (TRUPS).
The announcement stated that BBT will do so since the 2010 Wall Street Reform Act prohibits Big Banks from counting their TRUPS toward their Tier 1 Capital reserves after January 1, 2013. Being able to count TRUPS toward this key metric is the primary reason that Big Banks issue TRUPS to begin with. Without being able to count TRUPS toward Tier 1 Capital, Big Banks have little reason not to retire these preferred stocks as their call dates arrive.
BBT's decision provides important validation of the "Big Bank Trust Preferred Stock" opportunity described in every monthly issue of the CDx3 Newsletter since July 2010.
If You Paid Less Than $25 Per Share
When (no longer IF) BBT's TRUPS are called, shareholders will receive $25.00 per share.
The Big Bank TRUPS opportunity has now come to fruition for BBT TRUPS shareholders who, as the newsletter has urged, were able to purchase shares for less than $25 each. Congratulations!
If you have taken advantage of the opportunity described in the CDx3 Newsletter each month, you are going to be adding a nice capital gain on top of the great dividend income that you have been receiving in the meantime.
If You Paid More Than $25 Per Share
The likelihood that BBT's TRUPS will be called is now 100% so expect their market prices to trend toward $25 as their call dates approach per the Rule of Call Date Gravity (Preferred Stock Investing, page 59).
If you paid more than $25 for your shares, you should start paying close attention to the market price trends of BBT's TRUPS. You may want to set a trigger in your online brokerage account to alert you when the market price falls close to your purchase price.
BBT's TRUPS are all currently trading well above $25 per share and their call dates are still over two years away. BBT cannot call their TRUPS shares prior to their call dates.
But as these market prices trend toward $25 between now and then (and they will), be sure that you do not get caught with a capital loss situation that wipes out your dividend earnings. If you paid more than $25 per share, you are unlikely to be able to sell for a price above your purchase price once these shares fall below that point; do not count on them coming back up with a call pending.
Preferred Stock Investing stipulates that buyers should never pay more than $25 per share and this is a good example of why that's the case.
New Traditional Preferred Stocks From Big Banks?
There has been a question since I first reported the Big Bank TRUPS opportunity to you last July regarding how these Big Banks would raise the cash needed to call their TRUPS shares when the time comes.
In the July 2010 issue of the CDx3 Newsletter, I speculated in the article titled "Two Waves Of New Preferred Stocks Appear To Be Heading Our Way" that Big Banks were more likely to issue new traditional preferred stock than common stock in order to avoid diluting their common.
Another argument in favor of issuing new preferred, rather than new common, stock is that these Big Banks would not necessarily want to effectively convert non-voting TRUPS shareholders into a massive class of new voting common shareholders.
Now, it appears that we may in fact be in for a wave of new traditional preferred stocks as Big Bank TRUPS reach their call dates.
In today's Bloomberg article about BBT's plans an analyst states that BBT "...will likely issue debt or preferred stock" rather than common stock.
"BBT's TRUPS are all currently trading well above $25 per share and their call dates are still over two years away. BBT cannot call their TRUPS shares prior to their call dates."
Above statement made in article I posted imo is not accurate. Bbt - a, b and c shares are likely to be called in early 2013 when the shares will not longer be able to be counted as tier 1 capital. Page S-10 of bbt-a prospectus states:
"We may redeem any or all of the junior subordinated debentures at any time on or after September 15, 2013 and we may elect to redeem all, but not less than all, of the junior subordinated debentures before September 15, 2013 if certain changes occur relating to the capital treatment or tax treatment of the capital securities, the investment company laws or the rating agency equity credit accorded to the capital securities. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the junior subordinated debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption in the case of a redemption after the occurrence of a capital treatment event, investment company event or tax event and a make-whole redemption price in the case of a redemption after the occurrence of a rating agency event. An IRS pronouncement or threatened challenge affecting the tax treatment of the junior subordinated debentures could occur at any time. Similarly, changes in rating agency methodology for assigning equity credit to the junior subordinated debentures, changes or proposed changes in the treatment of the junior subordinated debentures for Federal Reserve capital adequacy purposes and changes resulting in the treatment of the trust as an "investment company" could result in the junior subordinated debentures being redeemed earlier than would otherwise be the case. See "Summary of Terms of the Junior Subordinated Debentures—Redemption" for a further description of these events and the method of determining the make-whole redemption price that applies in the case of a redemption after the occurrence of a rating agency event."
Imo, the $1 to $1.50 premium for a, b and c shares will be wiped out in 19 months so you can deduct this off any interest to be earned through 2012 when calculating yield which I think is around 6% annually.
The BBTpB will not be called for $25 cash. It will be swapped for a new preferred with a yet unknown dividend rate. The BBTpB will gradually go down to $25 before this conversion takes place.
yes call price is $25. A share can be called 9/15/13, B shares can be called 8/1/14, C shares can be called 11/1/14.
As we get closer to call date, share price will decline towards the $25 share level.
At share price of $26 plus right now no need to panic as shares pay $2.02 to $2.40 annual dividend.
If shares pop up, I would consider selling.
That's not what he's asking.
What you're explaining is normal course.
It seems there is a clause in the prospectus of these perferred that if tax rules change, they can be called AT ANY TIME at par. That's right, and there was a tax law change. Thus the reasone the B and C units have dropped dramatically in the past two trading days.
Sorry about the income loss, we little guys have no chance do we?

Max India started its journey in 1985 when we set up India's first FDA-approved plant to manufacture a vital drug intermediate of penicillin in Railmajra, around 40 km from Chandigarh. That was the time when my wife, two children and I lived in a rented accommodation in the city. As a young couple, we found the city very suitable for the upbringing of our children. The planning and aesthetics were in stark contrast to the commotion and political violence that reverberated in India in the 1980s, especially in north India. My children Piya and Veer, barely three and two years old then, would look forward to the weekend drive uphill to Kasauli and strolls along Sukhna Lake. This is why when we got a chance, we purchased a house in Chandigarh at one of the finest locations in the city, virtually on the lake, in Sector 5.
India Today Survey: The Best Cities and Why
The Chandigarh of today is different from what it was in the '80s. Economic growth and political stability have ensured that today it is a seamless tri-city comprising Panchkula, the Union Territory of Chandigarh and Mohali. In Mohali, Max Group has a significant presence in the form of Max Super Speciality Hospital in Phase IV and Max Institute of Healthcare at the Indian School of Business (ISB) campus. Max Speciality Films (MSF) has a plant at Railmajra, with an administrative office in Sector 8.
Hyderabad: Colossal Gloss in City of Boom
It is good to see that all three governments-Union Territory, Punjab and Haryana-are making efforts to develop the region and harness its strong advantages of a large young, educated population and strong infrastructure. Punjab government, for example, was aware of the lack of quality healthcare and educational institutions in the region and acted with alacrity when the Prime Minister proposed setting up a Premier Management Institute (PMI) in Mohali's Knowledge City. In September 2007, I received a letter from Ramesh Inder Singh, then chief secretary of Punjab, inviting me to meet TKA Nair, principal secretary, pmo. He said that the Government was looking to partner with a top management institute and leading industrial houses to set up a world-class management institute. Things moved quickly and in November 2012, ISB Mohali campus was formally inaugurated by the Union finance minister. Max Institute of Healthcare is one of the four partner institutes at the Mohali campus.
Vadodara: Where cultural diversity is a way of life
While the authorities can look at Bangalore and ensure that the same mistakes are not committed, Chandigarh, in my opinion, should find inspiration from Singapore. In his remarkable memoir, From Third World to First, Singapore's first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew describes how rapid economic development took place in consonance with consistent improvement in life standards, safety and infrastructure of this model city state.
Education in Chennai: Where Every Learned Person Is A Library
I sincerely hope that in a few years, when india today conducts the survey of India's best cities again, Chandigarh will once again emerge as one of the leading contenders with the title of "Singapore of India", a city unmatched in economic development, cleanliness, civil order, infrastructure, safety and civic amenities or as Jawaharlal Nehru, Chandigarh's progenitor, envisaged it-a city that is "unfettered by traditions of past and is a symbol of India's faith in future".
