Nothing is going to stop these hackers, but Sony doesn't care. They are pumping out firmware like it's nothing and are now up to 3.56. This "security patch" is an attempt to keep hackers from executing unsigned code that allows homebrew programs to run, as well as pirated games and online games to be backed.
But, the new firmware was unpacked within hours but may be a little while away before the firmware is completely cracked. Those who are running hacked firmware are obviously being told not to update. Sony are continuing to keep people out of their system but the hackers are persistant. No one really wins from this and console sales from hacked systems can show that companies can still make money.

WILMINGTON—Nine penalties for 97 yards and four turnovers were the reason for the South Brunswick Cougar 28-14 loss to the Ashley Screaming Eagles Friday night.
A rain-soaked field and the end zone lights going out with fewer than 2 minutes remaining before halftime made for strange field conditions, which affected both teams.
The Eagles prevailed on the strong throwing of senior quarterback Zach Finnegan, who threw for 206 yards and three touchdowns, two of those caught by wide receiver Jordan Brekke.
FAIRMONT—Coaches say defense wins games, and the North Brunswick High School Scorpions' football team proved that Friday. Its defense was the key in a 6-0 victory, the first of the season for the Scorpions (1-1).
Every time the Fairmont Tornadoes marched down the field toward an apparent score, the Scorpion defense made key stops.
C.J. Bress, Chris Hamilton, Ivory Myers and Andrew Parker all made crucial hits on the defense to shut down the Tornadoes' offense. De'Montez Lennon also had some good hits and stops in the second quarter.
Freshman Markel Jones scored from the Socastee (S.C.) line 18 with 2 minutes, 25 seconds left as the West Brunswick junior varsity football team beat the Braves 19-14 Aug. 27.
In the first game played inside revamped M.H. Rourk Stadium, the teams traded touchdowns until late in the fourth quarter, when Jones took a handoff from quarterback Cameron Smith and scampered up the middle for the game-winning touchdown.
The West Brunswick High School girls' tennis team played two nonconference duals last week, losing 7-0 to North Myrtle Beach and 8-1 to Ashley.
"We had a great win at No. 1 doubles at Ashley with Garbrial Sanders and Jordan Sanchez," West coach Scott Mehalick said. "And everybody is playing very well.
"I am very pleased with each of the girls' performances, and we are starting to play points better, which will lead to winning more games and then matches.
In a return to Crew Chief Bobby Dotter's hometown, Chad McCumbee and the SS Green Light Racing team finished seventh in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race Friday at Chicagoland Speedway.
This was the team's fifth-top 10 finish of the season. McCumbee earned $14,205. He is 19th in points and has won $193,529 this season.
The Mini-Stock race was the race of the night Saturday at Myrtle Beach Speedway, as Ronnie Campbell and Adam Fulford battled to the finish. Campbell won by a foot, getting his fifth win and the points lead with only one more race left in the 2009 season.
The Limited Late Models also put on quite a show, as the race featured a lot of side-by- side racing, with four lead changes taking place in the 25-lap feature.
Kevin Barnhill got his second win of the year after holding off defending champion Randall Roberts and fighting side-by-side for 17 straight laps.
BOLIVIA—The sound of beating drums could be heard from nearly every hallway at Brunswick County Academy last week, and the sound of music is expected to be heard many more times at the school this year.
A grant from the North Carolina General Assembly will allow school officials at the Academy and Transition Academy to bring artists and musicians to classrooms to teach students an art form and instill lifelong values.
BOLIVIA—A large crowd wearing red shirts and Band-Aids gathered at the county courthouse in Bolivia prior to the Brunswick County Board of Education's monthly meeting Tuesday night.
The Brunswick County Association of Educators and the North Carolina Association of Educators hosted the gathering, in hopes of gaining the attention of the board.
The Brunswick County Board of Education was served with a lawsuit three days after members voted to transfer an employee who filed a grievance against Superintendent Katie McGee.
Sherry Dove, a district employee since 1984, filed a lawsuit in Brunswick County Superior Court Friday, claiming board members made "an unlawful retaliatory transfer and reassignment."
After a daylong visit in Brunswick County last week, U.S. Rep Mike McIntyre made his last stop in Ocean Isle Beach and presented the town with a check for $281,388 in grant money recently awarded to the town.
The check included $136,050 the fire department received in February, which was used to purchase 17 air packs and a vehicle exhaust system for the department, and $145,288 the police department received last month, which will provide the salary for an extra police officer during the next three years.

|Course Description
|This is the first course in a three-semester sequence. This course provides an overview of human development and an introduction to the principles of normal growth and development through childhood. This first course is designed for physical therapy students to examine various developmental theories and the multitude of factors influencing the normal developmental process. The students will integrate developmental norms and sequences in the cognitive, psychosocial, motor, speech and language, play and moral development domains, both longitudinally and horizontally. The students will observe children's development. The students will plan and problem-solve age-appropriate activities for the typically developing child. The students will also be able to summarize the effects of environmental and cultural factors on normal development and will be given the opportunity to individually explore development across the lifespan from a variety of perspectives (personal, cultural, ethnic, historical) through readings, observations, interviews and reflective assignments.

Timezones and multi boot.
By casper on Apr 12, 2005
On Unix this was long solved by running the clock in the UTC or GMT timezone; that clock is unambiguous, give or take a leap second, and allows multiple versions of the OS to coexist.
Last week, it was pointed out to me in comp.unix.solaris that there is a hidden registry key in later releases of MS-Windows. I already knew how to fix up Solaris, so I combined this to:
Set the following registry key (it does not exist!) HKLM/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/TimeZoneInformation/RealTimeIsUniversal (REG_DWORD = 1) In the control panel with Day&Time settings, check the "automatically adjust" check box. Boot into Solaris and run: rtc -c -z UTC then correct the clock with date/rdate (if you use liveupgrade, lumount your other partition(s) and copy the /etc/rtc_config file to all of them) In Linux, you'll need to run "timeconfig" and select "RTC set to GMT".
Note that if you don't multiboot, it's probably also a good idea to run "rtc -c -z UTC" and then correct the date; for one you won't be bitten by the AMD64 timezone bug we had in Solaris 10.

Hobgoblin re-enters the building, ranting about his mission from God. Spider-Man tells the boy the stay put while he takes care of the Goblin, then asks the boy what his name is. The child answers that his name is Adam. Hobgoblin deflects the two heroes attacks and tells Adam that it is time for the two of them to depart. While the Goblin approaches the boy and takes him in his arms, Ghost Rider boards his motorcycle and guns it toward the maniac. Spider-Man, realizing that Hobgoblin has the boy, yells at Ghost Rider to stop before he kills him. Ignoring the hero, Ghost Rider strikes Hobgoblin with his bike, sending Adam sailing into the air. Spider-Man manages to catch Adam, but not before the boy is badly hurt from the impact. Ghost Rider pummels Hobgoblin into unconsciousness, but is stopped from going further by Spider-Man, who is disgusted at Ghost Rider's viciousness endangering an innocent child. Ghost Rider departs, stating that someday Hobgoblin will not have Spider-Man there to save him from vengeance. Spider-Man holds Adam with Hobgoblin unconscious on the ground while Ghost Rider rides away.
Hobgoblin was transformed into a true demon by N'astirh in Spectacular Spider-Man # 147, which was part of the "Inferno" crossover.
Ghost Rider gets his second chance to fight Hobgoblin in Ghost Rider (1990) # 16, where he also again encounters Spider-Man.
Okay, I admit it, Ghost Rider doesn't really come out looking very good at the end of this story, but that's more the deliberate fault of the writer instead of a detriment to the character. Todd McFarlane had a clear idea of what he wanted to do with the character, emphasizing the "vengeance" aspect of the new Ghost Rider to a degree we hadn't yet seen in the character's own title. McFarlane portrays Ghost Rider as an unstoppable force of nature that locks in on his target and lets nothing stand in his way. There's nothing wrong with that take on the character, it's one I rather like in fact, but where McFarlane goes too far is portraying the Rider as willing to endanger an innocent child to gain his vengeance on the villain. The new Ghost Rider was all about protecting and, if needed avenging, those deemed as "innocent", and seeing him nearly run down a child was a bit much. This skewed portrayal was done for no reason other than to trump up Spider-Man as a "truer hero" than the Rider, allowing the writer to speak through Spidey at the end with his speech about real heroes protecting the innocent no matter what. That's all well and good, Spidey, but that's exactly what Ghost Rider does in stories not written by Todd McFarlane.
Even if I didn't care for the way McFarlane went too far with the Ghost Rider's characterization, I still really enjoyed this story-arc. I was apparently one of the few who liked the religiously-insane demon incarnation of the Hobgoblin, but I can see why it might be a hard pill for some readers to swallow. The topics addressed in this story are a bit heavy for your typical Spider-Man story, and it does seem to be an odd fit at times. But this series was far from what one would call "subtle", and like with Ghost Rider McFarlane's portrayal of the insane Hobgoblin goes a bit too far into the realm of ridiculousness. McFarlane was still an amateur writer at this point, and I can forgive some of the heavy-handedness as long as the central story is sound. I don't really appreciate using Spider-Man to preach at us about the nature of "innocence", but at least it doesn't detract from the action in the book.
And yeah, McFarlane could draw one hell of a battle. Even though he made his break into superstardom on the fun-loving Spider-Man, Todd's artwork was suited much more toward the darker characters like Ghost Rider and the more wicked looking villains like Hobgoblin, the Lizard, and Morbius. His rendition of Ghost Rider, in particular, is note worthy just for the manic energy he puts into the Rider's flames.
This story was ambitious, and for the most part it held up okay. Just keep the preaching to a minimum, McFarlane.

College Hockey:Army Slips Past Canisius, 4-3
Teams Split Weekend Series
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Eric Sefchiks short-handed goal with less than two minutes left to play lifted the Army Black Knights over the Canisius Golden Griffins, 4-3, Sunday night at the Buffalo State Sports Arena.
Our guys took a big step when they were out there killing a penalty, Army head coach Brian Riley said. It was a big time play. Were just really proud that our guys could come out and battle like they did tonight.
It looked as if the game would head to overtime after Canisius tied the game at three at 14:49 of the third on a Dave Kostuch power play goal. Carl Hudsons shot from the point got through to the net and Kostuch picked up the rebound. His first attempt was stopped but he kept fighting for the puck and slammed it around the Army goaltender for his second goal of the game. Vincent Scarsella also received an assist on the play.
We battled back two times and then to have it end the way it did is disappointing, Canisius head coach Dave Smith said. We made a high-risk play that didnt work and they came down with numbers and beat the goalie. Were trying to win and were playing to win and unfortunately it went the other way on us.
Both teams scored two power play goals a piece with Army going two-for-seven and Canisius getting two goals on eight chances.
The game, which was originally scheduled for a 4:05 P.M. start was delayed by a Zamboni problem right after the completion of warm-ups. As a result, it didnt start until 5:17 P.M.
Army opened the scoring with a power play goal at 14:45 of the first period. Kyle Maggard received a pass from behind the net by Marcel Alvarez and deflected it through Griffins goaltender Dan Morrison. The puck trickled over the line as Morrison reached his glove back to try to cover the puck.
Canisius almost tied the score on a five-on-three when Hudsons low shot from the point hit the far post along the ice and slammed back out. Jason Weeks also had a chance on the same power play as he received a pass at the bottom of the circle but his shot went over the net.
Pat Kenney got Canisius on the scoreboard at 4:08 of the second period. From just outside the Griffins defensive zone Scott Moser found Peter MacDougall at the Army blue line. A slight touch of the puck by a guarded MacDougall enabled Kenney skate in alone, pick up the puck and deke to score his third of the season.
Kostuch gave his team the lead at 10:14 of the second period on the power play. Cory Conacher sent a cross-ice pass to Kostuch just inside the right circle and his clean shot found the back of the net.
Alex McRae scored his first of the season for Army off a rebound at the right side of the net with 2:22 left to go in the second.
Chris Spracklen slammed a goal into an open net on the power play at 13:21 of the third to give Army the 3-2 lead. Zach McKelvie and Bryant Skarda tallied assists on the play.
Armys short-handed opportunity developed after the Canisius defenders were caught in the offensive zone. The Black Knights had a two-on-one with the Griffins man racing to catch Sefchik. Once inside the Canisius zone, he sent a shot from the right wing that beat the goalie for the game-winner.
Canisius battled for the equalizer in the final minute and a half but could not connect on numerous chances.
Sophomore Jay Clark started his second game of the weekend for the Black Knights and ended with 21 saves.
Clark did a good job in goal for us both nights, Riley said. You ask your goalie to give you a chance to win and he did that for us both nights.
Its a big improvement from last night and our last two games, Army forward Cody Omilusik, who received an assist on the game-winner, said. Weve been struggling lately and we put it together tonight for 60 minutes so its a big plus for us. I think its a culmination of all that weve been working on the last week that we put together tonight.
The sentiments on the Canisius side were hardly as positive.
Its extremely frustrating especially when we had them right there and came back, Kostuch said. One of the most frustrating losses we had all season I think.
The Griffins are now 7-6-3 overall and 5-4-1 in Atlantic Hockey action. The Black Knights improved to 4-9-1 overall and 4-7-1 in the Atlantic conference.
Canisius is off next weekend but returns to action with a home-and-home series against Mercyhurst on December 19 and 20. Army is idle for three weeks before games on December 28 and 29th at the Dartmouth tournament.

Media Watch - 12th November
Gateshead land Premier starlet - Nov 12 2009, Evening Chronicle by Jeff Bowron
GATESHEAD are expected to clinch the signing of Blackburn Rovers starlet Andy Haworth on a one-month loan and have extended the loan period of Scunthorpe United wide man Peter Winn.
Haworth, 21 later this month, has made two appearances in the Rovers first team - both against Sunderland, in last season's FA Cup and Carling Cup.
A Lancaster-born winger who operates primarily on the right but can also play on the left, he was in the Rovers second string that beat Sunderland 4-2 on Tuesday.
Gateshead boss Ian Bogie is delighted to further strengthen his squad, saying: "We have had Haworth watched on three occasions and he is an exciting prospect who is well thought of at Blackburn, which is why he is not allowed to become cup-tied.
"He won't be available for the FA Cup first round replay at Brentford but will be in the squad for the trip to Stevenage in the Blue Square Premier this weekend."
"Haworth is a tall and technically gifted player who we have secured the services of ahead of both Stockport County and Wrexham."
Martin Brittain is out for the season and fellow right-sided midfielder, Jamie Harwood, has been on loan at Harrogate Town.
Bogie is also pleased to hold on to Winn, who has scored crucial late goals in each of the last two games - including the injury-time equaliser against Brentford.
"Winn has got better and better during his first month at the club and has scored some crucial goals," added Bogie. "He is a no frills player who works hard and crosses a good ball.
"We have some big games coming up and it is good to have nailed Winn who, like Haworth, is 20, down for another month."
Bogie was unimpressed with the performance of his shadow squad in a 2-2 draw at Northern League Chester-le-Street Town.
"It was a good work out but not the best performance, Some players were ring rusty but it was a chance for them to stake a claim - and no-one did."
Frenchman Armand One scored his first goal for the club and Hartlepool United striker Michael Mackay found the net in the second half after earlier missing a penalty.

Anuska Gil Presented the Project Skating the Way
06-Mar-2013 | New York | News-Press Release
On February 28, at the United Nations headquarters in New York, the filmmaker and rollerblader Anuska Gil presented the project "Skating the Way". This was an experience of rollerblading 1,000 kilometers (622 miles) of St. James Way (Camino de Santiago) honoring sixteen humanitarian women living on the route.
The president of the Peace and Cooperation Foundation, Joaquin Antuña, presented the audiovisual project in the framework of the "Art as Universal Language: "Creativity for Peace" campaign, an example of creativity aligned in favor of peace.
"Skating the Way" (Patinando el Camino) took place from Saint Jean Pied de Port (France) to Santiago de Compostela (Spain) between October 2, 2012 and October 30, 2012, paying homage to sixteen women representing the many who live on the route offering their selfless help to pilgrims and travelers.
On March 8, International Women's Day, Skating the Way will begin a weekly broadcast on the Internet which will summarize the experience in 17 five-minute weekly episodes.
In the presentation at the UN, Anuska Gil said she created Skating the Way in December 2011, along with Valentin Fernandez-Tubau and Laura Bermejo, in order to bring a positive message, and highlight values such as human harmony, creativity, and healthy living.
The filmmaker explained that they chose the Camino de Santiago (St. James Way), one of the most important Christian pilgrimage routes in the Middle Ages together with Rome and Jerusalem, because today it has become a journey that thousands of people of different faiths walk to find inner peace or just to experience a personal journey. In August 2012, more than 40,000 people certified their pilgrimage, more than 60,000 throughout the year.
Anuska Gil stated that she initiated the project with virtually no means, but doors opened and aids arrived once she started. "Enthusiasm can overcome many barriers we label as impossible. So we encourage anyone with creative ideas to promote harmony and peace, when carrying them out. And if it is in roller skates, the better!", said the director who in the past worked as a volunteer at the Atlanta Olympic Games.
The project became a reality with the cooperation and contributions of some municipalities, public institutions, private companies, and many people.
Today, the Peace and Cooperation Foundation and Skating the Way share the common purpose of inspiring creative experiences that promote peace and harmony in our immediate surroundings.
Anuska Gil stated that there is a chance to take the project to other countries. Her next challenge could be rollerblading El Camino Real, in California. The movement now includes more than 20,000 people on Facebook and is expected to multiply when they start broadcasting.
"With rollerskates, good will, and the desire to create a better world is possible to put creativity at the service of peace. My intention is to encourage many other people to join in a positive spirit to help create a better world "- said the director.
Skating the Way can be followed on the Internet in www.patinandoelcamino.com and on social networks like Facebook (www.facebook.com/patinandoelcamino), with the latest updates about the project.

It took a lot to create Diagon Alley, the expansion of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter that opens on July 8 in Universal Studios Florida. During the media preview of this new area, there were plenty of celebrities on hand from the movies to talk to the press. However, the creative minds behind the project were there to talk about what it's like to take a beloved fictional place and turn it into a real destination that will be enjoyed by millions of visitors every year.
Granted Universal already pulled this off once with the opening of the Hogsmeade area in Islands of Adventure back in 2010. Click the video accompanying this article to hear how they've managed to do it a second time by bringing London and Diagon Alley to Universal Studios and connecting the two areas with the famous Hogwarts Express.
Diagon Alley feature two new rides, and it's also packed with familiar shops and places to eat and drink, including the Leaky Cauldron. It also has two shows, The Tales of Beedle the Bard (which actually has two different stories) and Celestina Warbeck and the Banshees, a musical performance by Molly Weasley's favorite singing sorceress.
If you'd like to see the panel discussions with the Harry Potter celebrities who turned out for the Diagon Alley preview, use the links below:
- Warwick Davis, Robbie Coltrane, and Domnhall Gleeson
- Helena Bonham Carter and Tom Felton

Gun owners, like anyone, have a responsibility to see to it that they do not allow a foreseeable harm to occur through their own negligence or recklessness.
In this instance I see two things which make me less than sympathetic to the defendant:
1) She did not properly secure firearms not under her direct control;
2) She allowed someone she knew or should have known was a dangerous person access to such firearms.
(Sharon Kask allowed Jason's father to store an arsenal of thirty firearms in her home in a makeshift gun cabinet, and she gave Jason free access to her home...)
That is not the behavior of a responsible person.
Note the article also mentions other state's ruling on this matter: Courts in Indiana, Kansas and Montana have recently expanded liability of gun owners who fail to secure their guns.
Courts in KA, IN and MN have ruled similar to the MA courts:
The Kansas Supreme Court ruled in August 1998 that handgun owners have a duty to store guns safely in order to prevent juveniles and others from misusing them (Long v. Turk [962 P.2d 1093]). Seventeen-year-old Matthew Turk took his father's .357 Magnum handgun, which had been left in a cabinet. While out driving, he shot and killed Anthony Long, a passenger in another vehicle, during a traffic dispute. Long's mother filed a wrongful-death action against Matthew's father. The court held that because firearms are dangerous instruments, gun owners owe the public a duty to secure them. This case followed a similar case in Montana, Streaver v. Cline (924 P.2d 666 [Mont. 1996]), which also resulted in a decision that firearms owners have a duty to secure their guns from theft.
On April 7, 2003 the Indiana Supreme Court ruled that gun owners have a legal duty to exercise care in the storage of their firearms in order to keep them away from criminals. The court overturned a lower court ruling that Indiana gun owners do not have a responsibility to secure their own weapons (Estate of Heck v. Stoffer [No. 02A03-0007-CV-267).
Its nothing new.
Just because its a MA case people go nuts...
This is a very different case from a situation mentioned by LenS:
IMNSHO if a gun is locked adequately in a home (meets MGLs), a perp breaks in (not one that lives with you), steals the gun and mis-uses it . . . I fully expect the gun owner to be arrested and charged with a crime.
You are expected to safely store your weapons so that people who have access to your home but are not supposed to have access to your firearms. You aren't required to have your home the equivalent of Fort Knox.
If your storage of the weapons complies with the law and someone broke into your home, stole your weapon, and that gun was later used in a crime, if you reported the theft you will in all likelihood be fine.
You have a duty to store weapons in a reasonably secure manner.
If someone wants into your safe and has to B&E, steal your gun case and spend an hour with power-tools...well, that's pretty much proof your storage was secure if someone has to go through all that to get your Glock.

This week has been quite packed with Valve-related news, with SteamOS, Steam Box, Steam Machines and the new Steam Controller. Now we have a company that was tied to Valve for the Steam Box, unveiling its new PISTON gaming console on Monday.
Xi3 has teased that "the wait is over" with the date 9/30/13 below it. We should expect the PISTON console to be a variation of the usual PISTON PCs, but in console form. We don't know exactly what to expect, but maybe this will be the first Steam Machine? Especially considering that Xi3 was who Valve reportedly chose to show off prototypes of the Steam Box in its early form.

Yes, a woman was kicked in the face by a giraffe at a Wisconsin zoo Saturday. Yes, she was licked first. And no, no thinking animal was hurt during the incident. You could count the human one, supposedly, but "thinking" might be the incorrect adjecting to use in this instance. And to add a legal insult to the mindless injury, authorities said Amanda Hall, 24, of San Luis Obispo, Calif., was cited for suspicion of harrassing the zoo animals, KTLA in Los Angeles reported Aug. 17.
Suspicion? Seriously? She was kicked... by a giraffe... Why else would a giraffe do such a thing if not because he was annoyed with such a rude intruder?
Just when you thought imprudent human curiosity and lack of common sense around wild animals might be abated by animal attacks across the planet (and reported on and/or videotaped and posted to YouTube), a woman touring the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, Wisc., offers up another moment in the "how many times does it take?" file of irresponsible human behavior in the presence of animals. Amanda Hall apparently climbed the fence over an outer fence and had partially made her way through a second fence when a 2-year-old giraffe named Wally licked her.
Equally as apparent, Wally, must not have liked what he had just licked, because, according to police, the 12-foot-tall giraffe turned his back on hall and promptly kicked her in the face.
According to WABC in New York, Henry Vilas Zoo Curator Jeff Stafford says Wally was most likely reacting to someone strange entering his home.
"Imagine if that animal came into your house. How would you feel about that? You would probably be nervous and excited," Stafford said. "So an animal is going to have a similar response. That's probably what happened in this case."
KTLA said Amanda Hall was treated at a local hospital and released.
And that citation? Hall has to pay a fine of $686, according to the Madison Police.
But Hall is just the latest example of individuals getting a bit too close to animals in captivity. Just last month a woman entered the security area around a lion's cage at Sunrise Side Nature Trail and Exotic Park in Michigan and attempted to pet the massive animal. She quickly lost part of her finger as the lion snapped at her. While she contends that a zoo worker allowed her into the caged area, WNEM in Saginaw reported, said zoo worker maintains that when she went into the secure area, the woman and her daughter quickly followed her. Even as she told them they had to leave, the woman, Renae Ferguson, reached into the lion's cage to pet the big cat.
Ferguson says she is considering suing because nobody attempted to stop her, despite what the zoo worker stated to authorities and the zoo and the area being heavily posted with warning not to interact with the animals.
More recently, a young boy was videotaped by onlookers as he swam toward a beach, a massive crocodile giving chase. It is unclear whether or not the boy was aware that the huge reptile was bearing down on him, but, fortunately for him, a quick-thinking onlooker tossed a large object near the head of the beast, distracting it and allowing the boy to make it to shore. The crocodile in the video is one that tourists feed in a Mexican reserve in Quintana Roo.

A La Carte (12/8)
December 08, 2011
Because this was a late addition to yesterday's A La Carte, I wanted to mention it again. Shepherd Press has several of their books on sale in Kindle format; they are just $1.79 each. Shepherding a Child's Heart, Instructing a Child's Heart, Don't Make Me Count to Three have all been marked down for a limited time. I think we'll see some other deals from Shepherd Press in the near future, so stay tuned.
While on the subject of Amazon, they've got a lot of their Melissa & Doug products marked down by 50% today only. In a day when most toys are pretty much built to last a week, their toys are the happy exception; my girls have always loved them.
Debates - Though I haven't been able to listen to them yet, I've heard that these debates are interesting. In the first Edgar Andrews debates atheist Robert Stovold on the question 'What created the universe?' while in the second he tangles with Lewis Wolpert, Emeritus Professor of Biology at University College London and Vice President of the British Humanist Association.
What I've Learned from Cancer - This needs to come with a language warning. It's a pensive and sad and still-rebellious article from Christopher Hitchens as he battles cancer.
Pearl Harbour - These are some moving photos from the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbour.
Defusing an Argument - Paul Tautges shares "some transition sentences that may help you when you're attempting to resolve conflicts with your wife. The list may be personalized according to the need of the moment (Eph 4:29)." They should print these on a wallet-sized card!
A Tale of Two Grandfathers - I admit to bias, but I really enjoyed this article about 2 of my great grandfathers and the differences between them (not to mention the ultimate spiritual impact on my own life).
Adoption gives us the privilege of sons, regeneration the nature of sons. —Stephen Charnock

Edge of the Woods farm offers pony rides and petting zoos that travel to you! I found out they also have a 4-H club for ponies, one for mini-ponies and now one for Breyer horses. I have seen this company around southern NJ at various events. The animals are all in wonderful shape and the owners are seen checking up on them and rotating them through so if it is too hot or one looks tired (at Salem county fair it was brutal!) they get to rest. The prices are so much less than most pony ride places and the owners are really friendly. I took their business card and will be getting them to do a party soon!

Pappas, John H.
Age 70, of Morris, and a former long time Tinley Park, IL resident, passed away peacefully, yet unexpectedly, in his sleep, Saturday, September 14, 2013.
Loving companion and dear friend to Barbara O'Connell; beloved father of John (Nicole) Pappas, the late Lisa Pappas, Jason (Cara) Pappas and fond dad to Brett (Norine) O'Connell, Bridget (Steve) Echols and Brooke (Paul) Galassi; dearest grandfather of Alissa and Brayden; Cody, Katie, Conor, Leah, Lucy, Leo and Lily.
Preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Joan and his daughter Lisa.
John, a retired meat cutter in the retail grocery industry, led an active lifestyle. He enjoyed the outdoors, most especially biking, running, and fishing-he was known as "the Bassman". He was in excellent shape, and as his sudden death has certainly overwhelmed us, we take comfort in knowing he left this life with no struggle or pain, just simply passed on.
As it was John's wish, cremation rites have been accorded and a private family gathering was held. In lieu of flowers, memorials in his name can be made to your favorite charity. For information or to leave on-line condolences, please visit www.fredcdames.com

Bike Commuter Tax Benefits?
This topic contains 9 replies, has 10 voices, and was last updated by Pierce 3 yrs, 1 mo.

I recently became aware of the federal program that gives up to a $20 reimbursement per month for those who primarily commute by bicycle. Your employer has to support the program, and there are other stipulations such as not receiving any other transportation subsidies, like discounted bus passes. Has anyone used this program? What has your experience been?
Some info here
helen s #
A few years ago, I tried unsucessfully to get the Carnegie museums to support this, but was told they would not. It was being done at Cahtham at that time. I also would be interested if any other institutions were doing this.
mboyd #
We have that benefit at Chatham University. It is a really nice benefit and fairly easy for the employer to offer. Contact me by private message or email (mboyd50 at gmail.com) for more information.
CPollack #
Probably a slim to none chance of the company i work for going for this since i'm probably the only one who commutes by bike, yeah? How would i suggest this idea or inquire about it?
brian j #
There are some hoops that your employer will need to jump through, but if you (and someone in finance) are willing, it is very doable.
My employer has offered it for about a year now, and I've used it a few times. We have a third party managing benefits like this, so I just submit a receipt and then get a check in the mail. I've been able to submit receipts for greater than $20, and they keep a running balance–say I spend $40 one month, and none the next. I would receive $20 this month, and $20 more next month. This may be specific to our benefits provider, though.
Steven #
Maybe you could use the fact that you're the only cyclist as a selling point.
Cycling improves worker health. That saves the company money on hiring temps, health insurance, etc. Adding a small benefit might push more workers into cycling and saving the company money.
boostuv #
Thanks for the heads up about this. I plan on bringing it up to my employer today!
the beast #
I have been trying for a few years to encourage my employer to do this, but I have alos been told absically there are not enough cyclists to make it worthwile. (im the only one at my site)
StuInMcCandless #
IANATA (I am not a tax attorney) so I would be curious to know if someone working as a 1099 has any sort of "in" on this or anything similar.
Pierce #
I tried doing this at my job too and the person in HR was like "It'd be great if we did offer it, but we don't…" Perhaps I could make another inquiry. My boss generally prefers I be seen, but not heard in other departments though, so it's kind of a conflict

I am a USSF Certified referee. Do I need additonal training to officiate a futsal match?
I lost my USSF referee badge, how can I get a replacement?
Q: When do I have to submit a USSF game report, and to who?
A: Copies of the USSF Game Report and USSF Supplemental Game report can be down loaded from the US Soccer site, or from the resources page on this site. As a USSF referee, you are required to fill out and submit the relevant form whenever you have any of the following incidents in one of your games:
The completed form must be submitted, via email, to the SRA ( email here ), and the relevant league assignor for the league.
In all reports clearly state the facts associated with the incident. If you have any questions, contact the SRA, SYRA or SDI for assistence in filling out the proper forms.
Q: I want to become a soccer referee, what do I need to do?
A: NH Soccer certifies and trains United States Soccer Federation Referees (USSF). One certified a USSF referee is eligible to referee any USSF affiliated game! Almost all leagues outside of high school and college are USSF leagues, examples here in NH include: Granite State Soccer League, Super Y, Seacoast Soccer League, Open Cup, Presidents Cup etc. Basically almost all youth soccer!
To become a USSF referee, the typical entry level is "grade 8". The grade has nothing to do with a referees age, it is a ranking system USSF uses, the lower the grade number, the higher the referee level (and more training and testing required!), for example, Most referees in NH are grade 8. NH also includes grade 7's and a handfull of grade 6 and grade 5 USSF referees. The referees you see on TV doing MLS are primarily grade 1,2,3.
To become a grade 8 referee, you must be 12 years old at the time of the class and attend a grade 8 class at a cost of $50, a list of which can be found on the training page, pass a 50 question exam and pay the annual certification fee of $45.
Once complete your registration is done and your name is made available to USSF certified referee assignors to assignment to games!
Q: Should I take a grade 8 or grade 9 referee course?
A: NH no longer teaches the grade 9 course. We certify all referees as "grade 8" for all youth soccer, part of this certification is "small sided games" which is the majority of the former grade 9 course.-top-
Q: How do I get assigned games?
A: The majority of soccer games in NH are assigned by assignors who have built a relationship with the leagues. The assignments, in general, are not done by NHSA or the SRC. For details on leagues and the assignors to contact, please refer to the Find An Assignor page on this web site.
Q: Is there a fee for in service training?
A: There is no fee per class for in service training. In service training is required annually for all recertifying referees. Your annual registration fee is all that is needed!
Q: What is the re-registration process?
A: Annual re-registration for grade 8 referees is two parts. First register for the upcoming year on www.uscoccer.info. Second attend one of the 4 hour IST sessions. You are welcome to attend any IST sessions you like, however you are REQUIRED to attend one of the 4 hour sessions to receive your badge. Grade 5,6,7 referees must also attend the annual fitness test. Grade 5,6 referees must also obtain a maintenance assessment.
Q: What are the qualifications for a jamboree to be accepted as training credit?
A: The primary goal of In Service Training is to provide referees with annual training pertaining to their level of experience. Many jamborees are held that allow referees to officiate younger youth games, under controlled circumstances and get on field training and coaching from NHSA/USSF certified instructors. We feel this on field training, for referees with fewer years of experience is more beneficial to the referee growth than a classroom session.
In oder to be accepted as credit the following must be established:
Q: As a NHSA and USSF referee, how do I keep up to date on recent decisions and interpretations?
A: All USSF referees are expected to keep up to date on the latest decisions, positions and changes to the LOTG. USSF documents these papers on the site www.ussoccer.com. As an aide to our referees, NHSA posts relevant position papers, directives and links to help us stay up to date and those can be found here.
Q: I am a USSF Certified referee. Do I need additonal training to officiate a futsal match?
A: Yes, futsal is an exciting version of indoor soccer, the rules are very different from outdoor soccer and USSF requires a different certification. You must take the futsal class, pay a futsal registration fee and you will receive a futsal badge.
Q: I lost my USSF referee badge, how can I get a replacement?
A: NH SRC gets an allotment of badges for the current year, enough for one referee and some for entry level classes, we do not dependably, have enough badges to replace a lost badge. The best way to replace a lost badge, or get additional badges can be found on the US Soccer Referee Registration Page, linked here

Possibly one of the most creative artists I have come across – Archan Nair of New Delhi can be classed as the Nitin Sawhney of Art. Being a self developed visual artist, illustrator and more, Archan is inspired by various phases and forms of life to create highly intricate works that connect the various dimensions of our existence.
Formerly a fashion major and entrepreneur, Archan started painting in 2006 at the age of 24 and made the shift to independent artist in 2007. Since then he has embarked on an exhilarating and inspirational journey, collaborating with various companies and individuals around the world such as Canon, Nike, Tiger Beer, Sony etc.
Here's a speed painting he did just yesterday, uploaded onto Youtube, with soundtrack provided by Karsh Kale's Turnpike from the album Cinema.
More from Archan soon!

EA Sports UFC is the latest and the greatest game from EA Sports that is made to allow you to feel as though you are right in the middle of the action. On Friday, a new set of screenshots were released by EA Sports that show just how realistic their new next generation UFC game actually is.
The new EA Sport UFC screenshots do not show a whole bunch of the action, but they do show the same kind of realism that gamers are starting to expect in Xbox One and PS4 games. The faces look like they might be photographs or taken from video of real UFC fighters.
All of the UFC fans favorites are included in the massive picture release and we've managed to bring you the best of the brightest that EA Sports UFC has to offer. Luckily we've also included the EA Sports UFC E3 announcement trailer so you can actually see the stars of the UFC in action against each other.
EA Sports has managed to hit a home run every year when it comes to its Madden series and Madden 25 doesn't seem to be any different. With this UFC game release the company is clearly looking to stretch its wings again, especially since this year's return to the NBA Live franchise was less than successful.
Earlier details tell us that EA Sports UFC isn't pulling any punches when it comes to allowing gamers to feel as though they are doing battle with fighters like Junior Dos Santos and Francis Carmont. Ronda Rousey is included in the UFC game as well for those who want to really branch out and test their mettle.
Among the features EA Sports is rolling out with this title is something called MMAi. The company is touting this as an adaptive fighting engine that will allow the computer to recognize its fighters plan A has been stopped and it must move on to plan B. Real time exertion and damage are also an integral part to what EA Sports is bringing with UFC. Your fighters will wear down and show pain as well as cuts and bruises when it applies and this will affect them as the bouts continue.
All of this realism, as shown off in the gallery here leads to a better EA Sports UFC game that you will want to pick up when it is finally released sometime this spring on the Xbox One and PS4.
For all of our latest exclusives, previews, reviews and features follow us onTwitter and like us on Facebook. Game On.

Visit the city's website or pick up a brochure along the trail to choose the right trail.
Enjoy a county fair. The Great Shenandoah County Fair celebrates its 97th year with activities and rides for the whole family. There are also county fairs taking place in Lee County, Highland County and Chesterfield County.
Spend the weekend close to home with a family cookout, block party or picnic. Enjoy your own back yard or head to a local park or the Peaks of Otter. Gathering with family and friends is a great way to make memories.
Travel to your favorite Virginia State Park. Smith Mountain Lake is a popular destination for many families in Central Virginia. Many state parks offer special activities over the Labor Day weekend. Check their website for complete information about weekend events at your favorite park.
Everyone loves a parade. Enjoy a Labor Day Parade close to home. Roanoke's Labor Day parade will be held in downtown Roanoke starting at 11 a.m. on Saturday. In Buena Vista, Labor Day festivities at Glen Maury Park include a 5K at 8 a.m., parade in downtown Buena Vista at 9:30 and political speeches starting at 11 a.m.
Say good-bye to summer and hello to fall at an outdoor festival. The Labor Day Spectacular at Wintergreen Resort includes an arts and craft show, live music and more. The Taste of the Mountains Main Street Festival in Madison offers old-fashioned family fun for all ages.
Some families will head to Kings Dominion on Saturday, Aug. 30 and stay for Dinos After Dark. A day filled with rides and an evening filled with life sized dinosaurs is a recipe for fun. You may also enjoy a day at Busch Gardens or Water Country, USA.
A weekend filled with history can be yours when you visit the Lynchburg Museum, Poplar Forest, the National D-Day Memorial or the Museum of the Confederacy. There's more history waiting in Williamsburg, Jamestown and Washington, D.C.
Camping, hiking, cycling, running, ziplining or floating on the river are all great ways to enjoy an action-filled outdoor weekend. Spend your weekend enjoying the great outdoors in Virginia.
Whatever you do to celebrate the Labor Day weekend, be careful on the road. Holiday traffic will be heavy with construction in town and across the state. There's one more possibility to consider. Doing nothing at all is one way to celebrate what Labor Day is all about, a holiday for the average working person.

Purchased at Mafalda's Bridal Shop in Gilroy, CA.
My then-fiance and I decided to part ways, the dress arrived the following week, and the bridal shop would not take it back. I was on Active Duty with the Marine Corps at the time, and the dress stayed with my parents in the original bag it arrived in. I'm now out of the military and have the dress in my possession, and am ready to pass it along to someone who will let it see a beautiful wedding ceremony!
Since the dress was never worn, the pictures attached are the stock photos, and are true to what the dress actually looks like in person.
- Alterations: There is no damage to the dress. It's label size is 2, but it probably closer to a size 0.
- Preservation Method: It has been stored in its original bag and hasn't really seen sunlight since it arrived from the bridal shop.
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner: Yes
- Has Original Receipt:
- Location: San Diego, CA
- Will Ship to: Pickup Only
- Payment Methods Accepted: Other
Please read our BUYER'S GUIDE before purchasing a dress online.

In this study, a low profile and dual-band-balanced antenna for mobile handset applications, covering the 2.4 and 5 GHz WLAN frequency bands, is investigated and discussed. The antenna is a thin-strip planar dipole, with folded structure, and a dual-arm on each half of the dipole. The performance of the proposed antenna has been analysed and optimised for the two targeted frequency bands. For validation purposes, an antenna prototype was fabricated and tested. The prototype performance is characterised in terms of the antenna reflection coefficient, radiation pattern, power gain and surface current distribution. The predicted and measured results show relatively good agreement, and confirm good impedance bandwidth characteristics and excellent dual-band performance. In addition, the antenna radiation performance is investigated when the antenna is placed in several locations on the human body, using a hybrid computational electromagnetics technique.

This Saturday percussionist Gino Robair will be presenting a one-act opera entitled "Neither Confirmed Nor Denied." Called both a "number opera" and an "opera of coded information," this production was inspired by the shortwave broadcasts of so-called "numbers stations" that seem to have emerged from the Second World War (although some claim they date back to the First World War). These stations would broadcast strings of numbers and words read by either humans or synthesized voices. Recordings of these broadcasts have been compiled and released as a CD set called The Conet Project. It has never been established (neither confirmed nor denied) just what these stations were doing; but the most popular explanation seems to be that they were run by governments communicating with spies through coded messages that would never have to be exchanged through any physical documents.
Robair's opera is actually an "action" composition. The libretto is taken from the content of those broadcasts that were preserved by The Conet Project. The "score," such as it is, is generated in real-time based on instructions given to each performer, who then interprets the instructions either musically or choreographically. In other words, using the libretto as a point of departure, each performer becomes the embodiment of a numbers station, "broadcasting" content to both the audience and the other performers.
The opera will be realized as an installation at the Meridian Gallery, a four-story building located on Powell Street a little more than a block north of Union Square. The individual stations will be situated on all four floors, and visitors will be free to move around the gallery the same way that they would when viewing the collected pieces on display. This means that every attendee will have a highly personalized experience based on how (s)he chooses to explore the space.
The performance itself will last for two hours, beginning at 8 p.m. this Saturday, August 16. The Meridian Gallery is located at 535 Powell Street, on the west side of the street about half a block north of Sutter Street. Admission will be on a sliding scale with a recommended amount of $10.
Because of the rather unconventional approach to performance, Robair will also lead a pre-opera workshop. All of the performers of the opera itself will be present. The workshop will provide the curious with a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the creative processes involved in turning the ideas of "Neither Confirmed Nor Denied" into a performance.
The workshop will begin at 5 p.m. the preceding day, Friday, August 15. It is expected to run for three hours and will also take place at the Meridian Gallery. There will be no charge for admission.

There are many good groups in Colorado Springs providing wonderful services for the over population of unwanted pets. Each one has a function somewhat different from their other partners in this endeavor. One that stands out is the All Breed Rescue and Training facility.They are located at 20 Mount View Lane in Suites B & C here in Colorado Springs. Instead of have a nice day, all their literature says, 'Have a nice dog.'
What sets this group apart from others is that they are not a shelter. Instead, they only work with those pets that are considered unadoptable. What would make a pet unlikely to be adopted? Answer-the pets that have started their life in homes that were anything but loving and are at risk. Most likely they suffered at the hands of their former owners and were ruined so badly that now they are broken and damaged and must be rehabilitated.
These are the pets that are behavioral problems due to neglect, fear, abandonment and misuse. According to Sara Simon, the Office Manager for All Breeds, these are the only pets they take in. The pets that are considered such a risk to adopt that they are scheduled to be euthanized. That is when All Breeds swoops in to save them.
This facility works strictly through foster parents and has no shelter of their own. Because these animals will need lots of patience to correct the damage done, the foster home is the best place for them to get ready for a forever home. All foster parents are checked out to make sure they have the proper setting for each individual animal. Some pets may not be good with children or other pets. Maybe they jump fences and would easily escape from that person's home. Would -be foster parents and settings are appraised to make the best possible match for that animal.
Nona O. has been fostering for this organization since 2004 and has fostered at least 13 dogs. Nona said the ideal foster parent needs to have lots of patience and love. This wonderful foster parent warns that the ideal foster parent needs to be able to foster and let them go when the time comes. Although it is possible to adopt the dog you are fostering, it would be hard to do that with every one you fall in love with while fostering. She also mentions the importance of a support system since these dogs will be challenging. Nona says, "All breed is great support." She says, "You are not alone."
Right now, one of the dogs she is fostering is Miss Melody. She is a Pit Bull/Border Collie mix about two years old. She is a delightful dog with lots of energy. She needs a permanent home folks. Her photo is above. Call them to know more about this beautiful dog.
Most of their dogs need to be won over as they can be very fearful. They are usually in need of improving their bad manners. This is where the training aspect comes in.
All foster parents, as well as anyone adopting one of these dogs need to be part of the training classes. They want people to keep these dogs forever,once they adopt and so the adopters must learn how to manage them. Often when the dog problems are severe it is more a training of the owner than the dog to make things run more smoothly.
They can provide any kind of training from the basics for a new puppy to the older never- been- trained dog. They are willing to train a dog for competition or even therapy. They will customize training for each pet and make sure that dog will fit in and will be able to be managed by their new owners.
If you are interested in fostering or adopting, call Sara at 264-6460. If you can, please save a life today!

Justin Bieber walks out of jail and waves to fans in Miami Beach, Fl on Thursday. Some want to know if the pop star is out of control.
Bieber was arrested earlier in the day for drag-racing, while under the influence of alcohol and other substances. Charged with DUI and driving on an expired license, police also charged him with resisting arrest.
The judge set his bail at $2,500.
Bieber admitted that he had been drinking along with smoking marijuana and taking prescription pills.
Although this is his first arrest, this is not his first time defying the law. Currently he is being investigated for felony vandalism when a neighbor accused the pop singer of egging his home and causing several thousands of dollars in damages.
From causing havoc in his neighborhood to urinating in a mop bucket at a nightclub, one has to wonder, where are the parents.
Is this a case of a teenager finding himself but happens to be in the spotlight? Or is he simply out of control?

Yamasaki, the Troy, Michigan architecture firm, founded in the 1950s by Minoru Yamasaki closed at the end of 2009. His former partners and the legacy of the famed Modernist designer kept the firm going after his death in 1986. The firm continued to attract high-end clients and talented designers who were excited to work for the landmark firm, and to produce stand-out projects locally, and around the world.
The firm, and the world, was stunned to watch Yamasaki's New York City World Trade Center towers disintegrate on the sunny morning of September 11, 2001 when terrorists targeted the iconic buildings in a devastating attack. The firm suffered emotionally and financially from the event. At the same time, Michigan entered a recession that the entire country would later join as a result of the 2007 credit crisis.
In 2007, businessman and non-architect Ted Ayoub bought the firm. The company's last lingering employees of less than a dozen, down from a staff of 100, left with the bitter reality of being owed salary and expenses. The firm had been overwhelmed by its own debts resulting from unpaid claims and was mired in lawsuits such as claims for payment by consultants.
Selected awards the firm has received:
1985 AIA Detroit 25-Year Award: McGregor Memorial Conference Center (1954-58) at Wayne State University
1987 AIA Detroit 25-Year Award: Arts and Crafts Building, Center for Creative Studies
2005 AIA Michigan 25-Year Award: World Trade Center, NYC
Selected local projects from the Minoru era:
Wayne State University Master Plan (1954-56) and DeRoy Hall (1956-60)
Established the viability of a higher density campus that allowed it to remain at its established inner city location
Reynolds Metals Building (1956-59)
Expressed Reynolds' desire to focus attention on aluminum
Michigan Consolidated Gas Company, One Woodward Avenue (1959-62)
26-story tower in Detroit's Civic Center District
Temple Beth El (1971-74)
Cast-in-place concrete structure that evokes the tent-form of historical synagogues

Lou Adler, founder and CEO of The Adler Group (a training and search firm), joins LJNRadio to expound on his article, "There Are Only Four Types of People – Are You Hiring The Right Ones?" and to offer his advice for finding the best talent for your company.

The 10 Best Job-hunting Secrets of All Time
by Lou Adler - Sep, 2013
Some Big Ideas Job-seekers Must Follow if They Want to Get a Meaningful Job 1. Applying directly to job postings should represent no more than 20% of what you do. Getting referred to a job is 5-10X more effective than applying directly. If you're going to apply, only apply to jobs when you're a perfect fit for the skills and experience listed on the job description. 2. Leverage your understanding of the recruiter's rol...
Measuring and Maximizing Quality of Hire
by Lou Adler - Sep, 2011
Measuring quality of hire (QoH) is somewhat elusive, but critical if a company wants to know if its sourcing, recruiting, assessment, and hiring programs are working properly. Without it, implementing a raising-the-talent-bar strategy become problematic. In this article I'd like to focus on some core issues involving QoH, and offer an idea on how to measure it both pre- and post-hire. Let's get started by first defining Qu...
Is the Current Corporate Recruiting Department Model Doomed?
by Lou Adler - Jul, 2011
Some points to make before you read this article: 1. It's somewhat controversial, but by the end you'll agree (if you get that far). 2. If you're a corporate recruiter or HR leader, put your confirmation bias in the parking lot before reading this article. 3. You might want to listen to this YouTube video of a webcast (Future of Recruiting Circa 2020) we recently held. It will give you a sense what's happening no...
Back to the Future: Recruiting Circa 2020
by Lou Adler - Jul, 2011
As I ponder the future of where our industry is headed, I'm reminded of Geoffrey Moore's technology adoption curve, from his fine book, Crossing the Chasm. It describes how users (aka "buyers") of technology follow a predictable adoption rate, generally based on their comfort with the technology and their ability to implement change. It's not surprising that technology, especially the use of advanced business networking to...
The Future of Recruiting 2015-2020: Six Key Major Trends to Consider
by Lou Adler - Jun, 2011
Technology, especially the use of advanced business networking tools, in combination with state-of-the-art Internet marketing techniques, are fundamentally changing the face of recruiting as we once knew it. Surprisingly, most major U.S. corporations are still moving too slowly to take full advantage of these important changes. Worse, many are actually fighting or are oblivious to these changes. As you know, we're now work...
How to Use LinkedIn to Recruit Passive Candidates
by Lou Adler - Jun, 2011
Is LinkedIn worth $90 a share? If you're a recruiter, it's worth a heck of a lot more if you know how to recruit and use it properly. If you just think it's a great research tool with millions of names of passive candidates, you're missing its real value. In this case it's worth a heck of a lot less. Worse, it will be worth even less than that once everyone gets the same list of names. "Simply put: you can't source and...
How to Use LinkedIn to Recruit Passive Candidates - Part 2
by Lou Adler - Jun, 2011
This week we'll predict the future of LinkedIn and suggest what we think is needed to ensure that it remains the primary sourcing tool for recruiting passive candidates. Although we're the exclusive and authorized provider of advanced training using the LinkedIn suite of corporate products and services, we have no inside knowledge of their future product releases. However, we do know that whenever we introduce a new sourci...
Treat All Candidates as Passive to Increase Your Quality of Hire
by Lou Adler - Jun, 2011
There's an old adage that you should treat candidates as customers. Somehow this has been forgotten in the current era of high unemployment and slow job growth. I'm going to reframe this idea and suggest that if you want to hire the best people possible, treat everyone as if they were a passive candidate. This is vital for candidates who are actually passive candidates. More important, treating everyone with the respect they d...
Stop Making Bad Tacos - or How to Establish an Internal Executive Search Team
by Lou Adler - Jan, 2011
As the hiring recovery gains momentum, some older recruiting strategies are coming back in vogue. One that seems to be high on many HR executives' action plans is the need to develop an internal executive search capability within the corporate recruiting department. While the idea offers great merit, the approach many companies take is hiring recruiters or researchers who have worked in retained executive search and have them...
BranchOut vs. LinkedIn, and Recruiting Passive Candidates in 2011
by Lou Adler - Jan, 2011
Although there were some naysayers about my predictions for job growth in 2011 (Dec 14, 2010 ERE), it's more clear that 2011 will be banner year for professional hiring, coupled with the added impact of employee churn. Even if the prediction is somewhat premature, get ready for it anyway. What else are you going to do? With that as a backdrop, consider the impact Facebook's new career network BranchOut will have on the world...

VMware ESX 3.5 and 4.0 create software NICs that are bridged to the physical interface. I'm deploying ESX in a DHCP environment with assigned addresses, so the install is done with a set DHCP address. When the install completes, ESX creates the software NIC with a fake MAC address and thus does not grab the intended DHCP assigned address for the box.
Is there a way to subvert this behavior without messing up guest networking? Is this recommended or does it go against the use model for ESX?

What is the maximum body weight my cube bike is approved for?
What is the maximum body weight my CUBE Bike is approved for?
The approved maximal system weight is calculated by body weight + bycicle + luggage.
- Road race: 115 kg
- Mountainbike: 115 kg
- Global Travel Series: 140 kg
- Global Travel Series Sport: 140 kg
- Cross Road Series: 115 kg
- Country Lite Series: 140 kg
- Urban Life Series: 140 kg
- Cyclo Cross: 115 kg
- Kids' Bike up to 16": 30 kg
- Kids' Bike from 20": 105 kg
- BMX: 105 kg
- Hybrid Mountainbike: 115 kg
- Hybrid Tour: 140 kg
These details apply for all bike frames of the brand CUBE, regardless of the used material or the frame size.
- Body Weight incl. clothes: 80 kg
- Bike Weight Mountainbike: 13 kg
- Luggage e.g. backpack: 5 kg
- In total: 98 kg
In the example above, the approved maximum system weight is not exceeded (Mountainbike: 115 kg) and therefore approved.
The limiting factors are mostly components – the approvals for them (e.g. impellers, handlebar, stem) are to be enquired by the particular manufacturer. If there is an exceedance of the system weight, it will probably be necessary to change serial components (lightweight components) such as
- Wheelset (e.g. system wheelset with reduced spoke quantity)
- Fork (e.g. fullcarbon fork)
- Handlebar (e.g. thin-walled, lightweight construction)
- Stem (e.g. carbon)
- Or seatpost (e.g. thin-walled, carbon)
