College Hockey:Women's D-I picks: March 8
Well, I did pretty well in my first weekend of postseason prognosticating. I got most of the series right, correctly picking 11 series out of 15. In the games, I went 17-7 (.708). I'm picking everything again, so let's see how I do.
Friday, March 8
Robert Morris at Mercyhurst
How many times can the Colonials make me look foolish for picking against them in this match-up? Something tells me the Lakers finally have their swagger back in this one. Mercyhurst 5-2
RIT vs. Syracuse
Overtime is likely. Will the break for the Orange work for them, or against? RIT didn't look that great last weekend against Penn State. Syracuse 3-2
Ohio State at Minnesota
With or without Kessel, the Gophers are just too deep. Minnesota 4-1
North Dakota at Wisconsin
This one is a coin flip, so I'll go with Wisconsin having a better goalie. Wisconsin 3-2
Saturday, March 9
Syracuse vs. Mercyhurst
The Orange will make it close, but the Lakers have their number. Mercyhurst 3-2
Wisconsin at Minnesota
The Badgers threaten the perfect season, but fall a little short. Minnesota 4-3
Harvard at Clarkson
Oh boy. I got this one wrong the last time, picking the Crimson. Can the Golden Knights make it three-for against the Crimson? Clarkson 3-1
St. Lawrence at Cornell
The Saints run of postseason heroics ends here. Cornell 4-2
Northeastern at Boston College
The Eagles have looked shaky of late, but I think they'll have enough for a little Beanpot revenge. Boston College 3-2
Providence at Boston University
A close one ultimately falls the Terriers' way. Boston University 4-3
Sunday, March 10
Clarkson at Cornell
Can the Golden Knights get the title? If Erica Howe is on, anything is possible. Clarkson 3-2
Boston College at Boston University
These teams each won one, and tied a third, during the regular season. OT is definitely a possibility, especially since neither has looked like a powerhouse of late. Boston College 3-2

From orphan wells to lengthy routes, no matter what form your pumping takes, GreaseBook keeps your pumpers focused on moving those production updates from field to office.
Easily gather everything that matters. Track tank levels, capture notes, administer well tests, submit photos of scanned run tickets. All from the field. All on your mobile device. All over the cellular network.
Connect with the people who help you get it all done. Communicate, collaborate, and share in real-time with your guys and gals in the field without ever leaving the GreaseBook.
Access fast, accurate gauge sheets. No need to re-key production or manipulate Excel. Just one click and your production is organized into a beautiful screen-friendly layout.
The central place for everyone's work. All the relevant content from well history to run ticket images, easily accessed.
Compare a month's worth of oil sales tickets vs purchaser statements vs payments received (and find those inconsistencies!) in just seconds.
GreaseBook acts as your operations watchdog, surfacing any occurrences of skimmed oil or incompetence in the oilfield.
Pumpers retain access to historical production by making their work available even when a connection isn't.
Automatic sync means your production status is available the minute your pumper returns to coverage.
Production data syncs across all pumpers who share the responsibility of a particular lease. That means no more calling, no more meeting up to trade-off books, and no more miscommunication.
"So far the Greasebooks have been very easy to transfer to. I haven't had any complaints from the pumpers. I really like how the app makes the pumpers be accountable for the oil. I cant tell you how many times their old gauge sheets would have gauges that were so messed up and then throw a run ticket in there -- it was a nightmare to sort out! With GreaseBook, it makes my guys correct any errors.Thanks for everything!"
"GreaseBook's oil sales report with run ticket images alone saves us 3-4 days a month. In fact, we know what our purchaser owes us (and what they're missing) even before they've sent us our statement... Now that they know we're watching our account so closely, we find even less mistakes on their part because they know we're holding them accountable!"
"Initially, we thought there may have been an issue with the GreaseBook. However, it was the app which ultimately enabled us to weed out any incompetence in the field. With the app, everyone is held accountable... our pumpers, haulers, and our service companies. Now, we've got some very qualified folks in the field -- and we've got the information to prove it."
"Over the last year, GreaseBook has given me the ability to take on a considerable amount of supervision of the company. Now, I don't have to rely so heavily on our contract field supervisor. In fact, I compared our company costs from 2013 with those of 2014, and we have been able to reduce our costs by more than half. And, those reduced costs include our 2014 GreaseBook charges! Thanks for developing this tool!!"
It's on GreaseBook's dime

I need a workout buddy!
Friday, March 01, 2013
The ladies in the office went out to a bar with a former co-worker last night - they call it "choir practice", though by the time the singing starts, no church would have 'em! This morning they were talking about what fancy drinks they had and showing funny pictures they'd snapped on their phones. They were telling the boss about it as I walked by his office, and I just piped up with "Yesterday, I went to the gym." Boy, was *that* a conversation stopper! Kinda funny in a way.
Now I'm sure I wasn't invited because they knew beforehand that I would politely beg off, but that doesn't mean I don't plan a day here or there to practice my choir skills. You all have read about my book club evenings - whew! I'm not afraid to indulge every once in a while, that's for sure!
But, what I realized I was missing was somebody to compare awesome kale recipes with or swap pictures of ourselves in our racing bibs before the latest 5k. There was a lady in the office who moved away over the summer, and she was into going to the gym and eating healthy, and, by golly, I miss her! And, whereas it is nice to have SparkPeople to make connections, share, commiserate, etc., it's still different than a live body in front of you saying "way to go!" or "that sucks about your ITB flaring up again" - you know?
Unfortunately, I am also a bit shy, so making friends at the gym is really difficult for me. I think I'm going to have to just add it to my list of goals to work on, though. It would be really nice to have someone to get all nerdy-runner and geeky-eater with, I'm thinking. And somebody close to my own age who isn't running 6 minute miles, if that isn't asking too much :-)
On a happier note, the scale gods were good to me this morning. Got to move the ticker a little bit in the right direction again, thankfully!
Happy Friday, Sparkies!

I know how you feel. I lost my human walking partner (I don't think she was real passionate about it in the first place) and my dog, well, she requires that I carry a plastic bag with me and perform duties I find to be a bit off-putting, so she doesn't get to go with me often due (doo) to that fact. It's tricky to find someone in your neighborhood who wants to do the same exercise you do at the same time and the same pace. Good luck!

I am a shy person also and wish I had a healthy lifestyle buddy to help encourage and support and have fun with also. I'm trying to push myself out of my comfort zone and try to meet new people. You have to go out and get the things you want and/ or need. Try looking up meet up groups in your area, for activities you enjoy doing. Like minded people who you can get all nerdy with! ;)

The Army has launched a full-scale investigation into the death of Pfc. James Groth, who was killed Friday in a live-fire training incident at Fort Bragg, N.C.
The 22-year-old paratrooper, a member of the 82nd Airborne Division, was pronounced dead on arrival at Womack Army Medical Center after an accident that involved a towed M777 (150 mm ) howitzer.
Pfc. Groth was a native of Washington State, who enlisted in the Army in 2012. He was participating in a live ammunition and artillery exercise at the time of the incident.
Two of his fellow Soldiers were seriously injured in the blast and remain hospitalized; five others were treated and released.
Groth was a member of the 18th Fires Brigade's 3rd Battalion, 321st Field Artillery Regiment at Fort Bragg.
The M777 is manufactured by the huge military defense contractor BAE; the prime manufacturing site is located in England.
There will be no further details released regarding this deadly incident pending the outcome of the military's investigation.
The National Military Examiner publishes military and military-related content from around the world that often misses mainstream media, including all troop losses.
Thanks for reading and thanks for supporting the men and women who defend our nation.

Is there some way I can use the Software Installation GPO in Server 2012 to deploy things like Java and Adobe Reader? Problem is these are .exe setup files and it seems that Software Installation GPO requires a .msi file.
I have read about .zap files but Server 2012 does not seem to support these, .msi files only.

Maybe I'm drunk but he Torres hit on Thornton didn't look THAT illegal to me. IMO, it was very similar to the Dustin Brown hit on Henrik Sedin in last years playoffs.
But fuck it, Torres is an asshole so suspend him the rest of the series I really don't give a shit.
Repeat offender that has a long history of illigal hits. Ban him for life, the game of hockey doesn't need this kind of players. Players like Brown and Backes plays hard and sometimes boarderline and can change a game with a hard legal hit, but Torres only plays beyond borderline and only deliver illigal hits!
Torres is a piece of shit with a long history of illegal hits. If the NHL lets him back on the ice this series someone on the Kings needs to make sure he answers the bell his first shift back on the ice.
This guy clearly has no regard for cheap shoting people! He should be made an example of and kicked out for an entire season. He's a mediocre player at best. Honestly nobody will miss him and the games good players are safe again. Come on Shitohan and flake show us that you actually have a pair between your legs and do something for real this time before somebody really gets hurt!
wow the style of that first hit on Michalek is very similar to the Stoll hit. the way he slid into him and lifted his shoulder. Stoll's hit wasn't as clean of a hit to the head as this one but really fuckin close. Same style.
How is it, you get nailed for trolling but that crap article written by Espler is allowed to stand? He may not use the language you do but christ is that guy a POS writer or what……..
Per ESPN a few minutes ago.
Torres suspended for rest of Kings/Shars series.
Good riddance, but we lose our best faceoff guy, and for how long?
Not a good trade off.
Go Kings!
[…] Raffi Torres is no stranger to controversial NHL hits. And if he keeps it up, Torres might soon find himself out of a job. So we here at The Royal Half […]

Tom Hardy: 70 Things You NEED To Know
Tom admitted it was hard to lose weight to star in Stuart: A Life Backwards when he spoke to IndieLondon: Absolutely. But Stuart: A Life Backwards was a brilliant part that an actor like me would totally want to do. So, you just do it. It's much less daunting once you've put your foot on the road to it. I'm a notorious couch potato and I don't like exercise. Half an hour of physical exercise, like jogging or fast walking a day is a start. Then there's your diet. You cut out sugars, fat, soy sauces… anything that's nice. Tea and coffee is replaced by boiling water with lemon. It's amazing how quickly you get into it. There's also herbal tea and a lot of water, obviously… about two litres a day… It's about motivation and it has to be something that's realistic for you to keep up."

College Hockey:Vezina Backstops River Falls Past St. Norbert
Dustin's Second Of Year Good For Opening Win
RIVER FALLS, Wis. — Sophomore goaltender Jacque Vezina stopped 29 shots and Joe Dustin broke a tie with his second goal of the season as Wisconsin-River Falls defeated St. Norbert 2-1 in the NCHA semifinals Friday night.
Vezina was sharp all night, including a perfect third period when he saved all 11 Green Knight shots. The Green Knights had a chance to tie the game in the last two minutes when Jamie Steinert received a two-minute minor for charging the goaltender, but St. Norbert couldn't get one by Vezina.
Dustin scored the game-winner at the 16:44 mark of the second period. After his first shot from the point was blocked, the defenseman regained control around the left faceoff dot and fired a wrister past Green Knight netminder Ryan Gill.
The Falcons took the early lead on Jeff Bernard's 20th goal of the season, a power-play goal at 8:49 of the second period.
St. Norbert tied the game at 12:03 on a breakaway goal by Maris Ziedins. Officials called 26 penalties, totaling 52 minutes. The Falcons went 1-for-4 on the power play while the Green Knights were held scoreless on four attempts.
River Falls can win the series Saturday with a victory or a tie. If St. Norbert wins, the teams play a 20-minute minigame. The winner moves on to the NCHA championships.

Leeks have a long history as a beloved vegetable. Mostly just the white and light green parts are eaten, though the darker green parts have plenty of flavor and can either be cooked longer to tenderize them, or used when making homemade soup stock. The challenge when cooking with leeks is that they are almost always dirty. When leeks are grown, soil is piled up around them, so that more of the leek is hidden from the sun, and therefore lighter in color and more tender. What produces a beautiful leek, a long pale body, also results in sand and dirt been lodged deep inside the leek. Leeks are a sturdy backbone to many recipes and they also makes a tasteful side addition coming from your garden to the table.
This o'gratin is a 30 minute meal recipe for creamed leek topped with whole-wheat bread crumbs.
2 slices bacon
2 tsp olive oil
4 1/2 cups sliced, cleaned leeks (white and pale-green parts from 1 1/2 lb whole leeks)
1/4 cup half-and-half
3/4 cup fresh whole wheat bread crumbs
3/4 cup grated gruyere
1 tsp minced garlic
1. Cook 2 slices bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels, crumble, and reserve.
2. Wipe fat from skillet, add 2 tsp olive oil, and heat over medium heat.
3. Add 4 1/2 cups sliced, cleaned leeks (white and pale-green parts from 1 1/2 lb whole leeks) and cook, stirring, until very tender, about 10 minutes.
4. Add 1/4 cup half-and-half and bring to a simmer. Transfer to broiler-safe gratin dish.
5. Toss together 3/4 cup fresh whole wheat bread crumbs, 3/4 cup grated Gruyere, and 1 tsp minced garlic. Sprinkle over leeks and broil 8" from heat until crumbs are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Top with crumbled bacon.

According to a July 25 report from Cageside Seats, Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella's Arizona home was burglarized on the evening of July 24. Fortunately, no one was injured during the attempted robbery. Bryan, 33, flew home from the Comic Con Convention in San Diego, only to find two burglars fleeing his place of residence.
Bryan hopped out of his car and immediately ran after the two men. He managed to catch one, but the other got away. Bryan held onto one suspect, until police arrived to complete the arrest. As of July 26, the second suspected burglar of Bryan's home was still free and not caught. Bella, a WWE Divas superstar who is married to Bryan, was home at the time of the burglary. Luckily, no one was hurt and the situation did not escalate into a violent altercation.
Bryan, the former WWE Heavyweight Champion, is currently rehabbing from neck surgery, and he's not expected to compete under the WWE banner for the next six months. Bryan has been sidelined with the injury since May, and he hasn't appeared at any WWE house shows since. His injury isn't expected to cut his career short, but its still a serious setback.
Here's the thing: Bryan's ability to chase down a suspect shows his athleticism is still there. Even when he's not at 100 percent, he can still push the pace and show off some serious cardio. WWE Universe is very lucky the burglary suspects were unarmed, or this situation could have gotten ugly. Did Bryan do the right thing by chasing down the suspect himself, instead of letting police handle it? Absolutely.
Bryan, one of the WWE's most popular superstars, wanted to set the tone that he can't be messed with. He was trying to protect his home and his beautiful wife, Brie Bella. The suspect Bryan confronted has been identified as 22-year-old Cesar Sosa. The two burglars broke Bryan's rear sliding glass door to get into the house to burglarize it. More details about the case will undoubtedly emerge as the days and weeks unfold.

Weekly Update - August 22, 2014back
Each week, the City Manager's Office provides an update that includes information on programs, services and issues within the City, as well as news, project updates and follow-up information when applicable. It can be found on the City's website.
Coronado Schools Are Back in Session: The City sent out a reminder that students are back to school this week and that drivers should be aware that children will be out and about. Many children use bikes to get to school and will be sharing the roads with morning and afternoon commuters. Our children's safety is a top concern in Coronado. The City prepared for the start of school on various fronts. Coronado provided a map and a "Safe Routes to School - Parent Info Sheet" to the schools to help parents get their children safely to school. The map shows schools, traffic signals and crossing guard locations. As part of a grant-funded Safe Routes to School program, the City recently painted white bike lanes on Sixth Street in both directions for a safer ride to area schools. The Coronado Police also are involved, handing out gift certificates to bicyclists following the rules of the road and properly wearing their helmets. This effort began last year and was a success. Recreation Services Teen Staff participated in the Coronado Unified School District's new family "Back to School Night" on Tuesday night, August 19, at the Coronado Middle School. This was an opportunity for new families in Coronado to learn about organizations and opportunities within the community. City staff provided information promote teen programs.

Portable Restroom Being Prepped: The City's new portable restroom trailer is currently in the Public Services Yard, where it has had the lights and all other external appurtenances removed to make it ready for the wrap. Earlier this year, a wrap with graphics simulating a historic Tent City tent with photos of guests and beachgoers was approved. The wrap installation was completed late yesterday afternoon. Public Services will reinstall all the exterior components, transport it to the predetermined location at the beach, connect it to the site's electrical service, lower it into place and the trailer should be ready for use on Monday, August 25. The facility will be portable and appearing around town, where needed. The design was developed by the City's Cultural Arts Commission.
Above and below: New portable restroom being prepped and wrapped.

Proper Bike Locking PSA: Check out the City of Coronado's newest Public Service Announcement, "How to Properly Lock Your Bike," and learn the techniques that will help keep your bicycle safe. The video includes a number of bike security tips, including advice on the best way to lock a bike to a rack and what you should do to make it easier to recover your bike if it is stolen. Regarding bike thefts, two more people were arrested in Coronado on bike theft charges, bringing the total to 13 suspects taken into custody for being in possession of the Coronado Police Department's remotely monitored bicycle since the operation began in early July. The two were arrested Wednesday, August 20, at about 8:40 p.m. The bike was located in the suspects' vehicle after Coronado officers stopped their car in San Diego. The suspects were charged with grand theft, possession of stolen property and conspiracy. Both were transported to jail. Watch this important PSA by clicking on the image below.
Bike the Bay Event Traffic Alert: The seventh annual Bike the Bay is happening Sunday, August 24. It's one of a very few opportunities to get across the San Diego-Coronado Bridge without the use of a vehicle. The ride takes bicyclists around San Diego Bay, starting and ending in San Diego at Embarcadero Marina Park South. Riders will make their way across the bridge, head down Glorietta Boulevard and then south toward Imperial Beach. The bridge will remain open throughout the event with one lane of traffic for each direction. Bicyclists will use the bridge's eastbound lanes. A small section of Glorietta will be closed during the event, between Fourth and Fifth Streets. Riders will use Strand Way, which will be closed to vehicle traffic, to reach the Bayshore Bikeway to head south out of Coronado. State Route 75 will remain open in both directions. The event starts at 7 a.m. If you are participating in the event, and are interested in taking the Ferry to San Diego, the Ferry will run a few special routes that morning, from Coronado to San Diego, at 5:30, 6, 6:30, and 7 a.m. The bridge and the block of Glorietta will be reopened after all participants clear the roads, which should be no later than 10 a.m. Coronado officers, along with race officials and other local law enforcement, will provide security for the event. Last year, close to 3,400 people participated, and it's expected that the turnout will be the same for 2014.

Wayfinding Directional Signs: This week, City staff held a meeting with 20 members of a stakeholder group assisting the City in developing a signage program to improve wayfinding by vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians. The City's consultant will be refining the signage concepts based on input received and will schedule another meeting in about one month.

Public Meeting Announcement: The community is invited to help the City of Coronado with its Americans with Disabilities Act Self Evaluation and Transition Plan at a public meeting on Tuesday, August 26, at City Hall. To help remove access barriers and provide accessibility for all residents and visitors, the City is updating its ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. The City is in the process of evaluating the accessibility of its facilities and priorities. The City would like to hear from the community. At this meeting, participants will learn about the evaluation process and have the ability to express their concerns regarding the accessibility of City services and facilities. The City will include all comments into the final ADA Transition Plan. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. in the City of Coronado Council Chamber, 1825 Strand Way. For additional information, contact Bill Cecil at (619) 522 7314 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Street Preventive Maintenance Project FY 13-14: The slurry seal project should wrap up tomorrow. The slurry sealing part of the Street Preventive Maintenance Project was completed before school started. However, the striping was not. Construction delays involving required completion of ADA ramps in the vicinity added to the longer schedule. Final striping should be completed tomorrow. After applying the slurry seal over the project roadways, the contractor completed striping of all pavement markings, including diagonal parking stripes and crosswalks. This completes the final phase of the project, but we ask that residents please remember to avoid sharp turns or power-steering maneuvers with their vehicles to help preserve the surface until it hardens and cures to its intended strength. A-frame signs will remain in place until the striping is completed. They were installed at the request of the Coronado Police Department for safety reasons until the stop bars and other striping is completed.
Above and below: Striping on streets that received a slurry seal.
Accessible Pedestrian Signals and Tenth Street Reconfiguration: The contractor began work this week on the Accessible Pedestrian Signals and Tenth Street Reconfiguration Project at the intersection of Tenth Street and Orange Avenue. Crews began with the installation of conduit and pull boxes for the new traffic signal loops. Work will continue to install foundations for the new signal poles, which will require the contractor to perform some operations at night.
Intersection of Tenth Street and Orange Avenue.
Rip Currents Expected: Weather forecasters expect strong rip currents and elevated surf along Coronado's shores over the weekend. North Beach will have waves with sets to 7-plus feet. With high temperatures, the City's Lifeguards are anticipating large crowds. Lifeguards advise swimmers who are not experts to swim and boogie board at South Beach or Central Beach. A rip current is a horizontal current. Rip currents do not pull people under the water, they pull people away from shore. Drowning deaths occur when people pulled offshore are unable to keep themselves afloat and swim to shore. This may be due to any combination of fear, panic, exhaustion or lack of swimming skills. If you get caught in a rip current, remain calm to conserve energy and think clearly. Here are some more tips:
- Don't fight the current. Swim out of the current in a direction following the shoreline. When out of the current, swim towards shore.
- If you are unable to swim out of the rip current, float or calmly tread water. When out of the current, swim towards shore.
- If you are still unable to reach shore, draw attention to yourself: face the shore, wave your arms, and yell for help.
- Check out the flier below for more safety tips. Click on the image for a larger version.
A red flag on top of a lifeguard tower indicates strong currents. Always check with lifeguards before swimming or entering the water.
Palm Tree Trimming: Palm tree trimming at the Golf Course has concluded. This important process is responsible for removing dead fronds and seed pods that are unsightly and litter the course when it is windy. They also can harbor pests and rodents. The work was completed in three weeks by a tree service company.
Golf Course palm trees after the trimming.
Pond Maintenance: Approximately 100 cubic yards of organic material were removed from the Golf Course pond adjacent to Hole No.'s 9 and 1. The ponds are filled with brackish water, which complicates the removal process because great delicacy must be used so that the turf is not damaged. The material is an accumulation of decades of organic debris that entered the pond and became compacted, primarily on the southern end. The material was removed with a backhoe and then transported by trailer to a composting pile located west of Hole No. 1. The material will continue to decompose and eventually become part of a rich soil profile. The pond also was treated with biological agents to aid in the reduction of odor-causing bacteria that is associated with the naturally occurring, decomposition process. Additional removal will be scheduled as needed or as the debris migrates from the deeper levels of the pond to the shallower edges and begins to build again over time.
Above and below: Golf Course pond maintenance.
Summer Festival: The Coronado Public Library's Summer Festival concludes today, with an outdoor concert featuring Coronado's own Tokeli, who returns to Coronado to perform jazz, blues and musical theatre showstoppers. She will be performing with John Opferkuch on piano, Doug Walker on bass, Tim McMahon on drums and Derek Cannon on trumpet. The concert will be held tonight, at 7 p.m., on the lawn near the Library's Winn Room. The Summer Festival is sponsored by the Hotel del Coronado and the Friends of the Coronado Library.
U-lock Giveway: The Coronado Police Department picked another lucky winner in the U-lock giveaway at Concerts in the Park. Congratulations to Coronado resident Roger Frost. Be sure to visit the Coronado Police Department table at Concerts in the Park and enter for your chance to win a secure U-lock for your bicycle. Three more concerts are set for this summer.
Officer Tony Graytock presents a new U-lock to Concerts in the Park winner.
Fountains Vandalized: Two fountains - Coronado Rotary Plaza and Promenade Park – were vandalized in recent weeks. Both fountains had to be drained and cleaned after vandals placed soap in the water. It may seem like a harmless prank, but soap harms the pumps when they get "air locked" with suds. When the pumps are air locked, no water is going through them as the pumps are running or circulating water. They then overheat. Clean-up efforts cost the City in staff time plus replacement equipment. The fountains recycle the water, making them highly water-efficient. However, when soap is placed in a fountain, it must be completely drained and refilled. This wastes the water that was being recycled and requires the use of more water to refill the fountains. Both fountains were cleaned and are up and running.
Fountain at Rotary Plaza.
Labor Day Hours: The Community Center and the Pool will be open on Monday, September 1, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Gym Floor Resurfacing: The Community Center Gymnasium will be closed for resurfacing and recoating of the repaired floor section, from Wednesday, August 27, through Wednesday, September 3. The Community Center is looking forward to having a full court gymnasium again.

NEW: FreeBSD Security Notices
FreeBSD Security Advisories <security-advisories <at> freebsd.org>
Hello, Historically, FreeBSD Security Advisories have been used to report security issues found in the base system, and high-risk issues related to third-party applications available in the Ports Collection. The FreeBSD Security Officer Team will now be issuing Security Notices in addition to Security Advisories. While Security Advisories will continue to be the team's focus, the Security Notices will provide a channel for communicating issues that have been previously publicized. In particular, problems reported with applications in the Ports Collection that are not FreeBSD-specific are likely to be reported in a Security Notice. FreeBSD makes no claim about the security of these third-party applications. We expect that this will allow the FreeBSD Security Officer Team to cover more issues --- especially in third-party software --- in a more timely fashion, while reserving full Security Advisories for problems in FreeBSD itself or that only affect FreeBSD. Cheers, The FreeBSD Security Officer Team.

Secrets of Success
What's working and what isn't?
Thursday, March 10, 2011
It's been almost a year and a half since a very hard period in my life ended - and i'm still not fully recovered. Will i ever be? I'd like to think that i will. I know i will. But it's probably not happening by itself, i gotta work for it. And lately i didn't work for it - on the contrary: i worked against it.
I used to be focused on "how much" and "by when". Now all i care about is to stay on track when it comes to weight loss. Stay on track day after day: consume 1600 kcal, burn 450, thus have a deficit of 640 kcal daily. I just want to be on the road, no matter how far my destination is. Progress, not perfection.
I am now deciding to blog every day. Just to say what's on my mind. To tell how my day was. Not because i want others to see it (they can of course), but because i want to get it out of my sistem. Like a diary.
I'm tired. Not because i don't have enough sleep. It comes from my mind. i'm not always tired, but much more often than a healthy person. I know what things can make me get out of this hole: good relationship with my love, with my father and sister, my mother, my best friends, and staying in touch often with them (except for my love, we live together so that doesn't refer to him). Reading 'soulwarming' books/magazines helps. Staying on track with food and exercise helps a lot. Having fun, doing things i love in my free time. Earning more money wouldn't hurt either. :) But i don't want to start enlisting all the material things (money, a house, a new car, clothes, etc) that would make me happy because deep inside i feel that these aren't the things i need to be wanting in order to be happy. I want real relationships and friendships and family bonds, a healthy body and mind - and that's about all i want now. I can start seeking more wealth once i 'll be spiritually and mentally wealthy.

I found quite a few similarities with you: my end goal is 125 lb and I have 50 lb to loose and like you I've had a rough year in 2010. I also tend to focus more on the process/journey and how I'm feeling inside and improving my personal relationships. Wishing you the best along the way and success in 2011!
