Setting up Django Piston with OAuth Support
django-piston is a mini framework for creating REST APIs. One of the big reasons to use django-piston rather than rolling your own framework is that it supports OAuth authentication "out of the box." Unfortunately, documentation on how to enable OAuth authentication is largely lacking. Here are the steps I went through to fully hook up OAuth support in my django-piston powered REST API.
Add piston to installed apps and run syncdb
This step isn't necessary when using piston without OAuth support. However, if you want OAuth support, piston defines a few models that are needed to keep track of the OAuth tokens and consumer keys. Adding piston to INSTALLED_APPS will register these models.
Add an oauth challenge template at
For some reason, this template does not come with django-piston. When an unauthenticated request is made to an API protected by OAuth, the contents of this template will be returned. In theory, the template should describe what OAuth is and how a client programmer can get access to the API using OAuth. In practice it doesn't really matter what you put there, you just have to have the file to avoid TemplateNotFound exceptions.
Hook up OAuth token urls
OAuth requires the web service to provide three urls through which OAuth can aquire the proper tokens and authorize a user. Piston provides views for these functions which will create the proper tokens and integrate with Django's auth framework. Here is how my url conf looks:
urlpatterns = patterns( 'piston.authentication', url(r'^oauth/request_token/$','oauth_request_token'), url(r'^oauth/authorize/$','oauth_user_auth'), url(r'^oauth/access_token/$','oauth_access_token'), )
Add an authorization template at
This template is for the page the user will be directed to when they authorize the client application. It should be a simple form asking the user to confirm that they want to give the requesting application access to their data. Piston actually comes with this template but it unfortunately lacks a submit button! You also want to write your own template so that it can be better integrated with the look and feel of your site. Just to get things going, here is a sample that works:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">   <title>Authorize Token</title>
Authorize Token
 <form action="{% url piston.authentication.oauth_user_auth %}" method="POST"> {{ form.as_table }} <button type="submit">Confirm</button> </form>
If you want to further customize how this particular page works, you can specify an OAUTH_AUTH_VIEW setting to tell piston which view to use. For example:
OAUTH_AUTH_VIEW = 'api.views.oauth.authorize_oauth'
You'll want to take a look at
piston.authentication.oauth_auth_viewas a reference when writing your own view.
Add your first OAuth consumer!
You can either do this programatically in the shell, or using django's admin interface. If using the admin interface, you'll have to register the
piston.models.Consumermodel with the admin.
I've had OAuth up and running now for a few days and am very glad that users will no longer have to give API clients their username and password to access their private data. It was a bit of a pain to set up but I think it's worth it.

Why doesn't the guy driving that crappy puddoynk go get his right headlight fixed already? And with his muffler gone, he sounds like a cheap motorcycle. Serves him right if a cop pulls him over for it.

Teens charged in connection with downtown mob violence speak outUPDATED 7:45 PM EDT May 22, 2014
Two Louisville teens charged in connection with a downtown assault speak out after being released on home incarceration.Video Transcript
TWO TEENAGERS ACCUSED OF ASSAULTING A WOMAN IN DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE ARE SPEAKING OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME. THEY SAY NEW EVIDENCE COULD CLEAR THEM. ANNA-LYSA GAYLE SPOKE TO THEM ABOUT THE ALLEGATIONS... ANNA- LYSA? THE TEENS ARE OUT OF JAIL TONIGHT. THEY ARE PAYING THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS PER WEEK FOR HOME INCARCERATION, BUT THEY SAY THEY ARE ALSO PAYING IN SUFFERING. Tyrone Booker: We took it like oh this is funny, haha. We're not going to go on down for this. We're going to get out the same day. 19-YEAR-OLD TYRONE BOOKER AND HIS COUSIN 18-YEAR-OLD SHAQUAZZ ALLEN ARE ACCUSED OF ROBBING A WOMAN AT THE INTERSECTION OF AMY AND MARKET STREETS. THEY'RE ACCUSED OF LATER ASSAULTING A SECOND WOMAN AT THE INTERSECTION OF FIRST AND LIBERTY STREETS, NEAR A BADER'S FOOD MART... Anna-lysa: Do you know anything about what happened at the Bader's? Tyrone: No, I have nothing about that. I have no knowledge of what's going on. I recently found out what was going on about her, when I got arrested in jail. They told me that there was a whole bunch of people at the Waterfront. BOOKER'S DEFENSE ATTORNEY SAYS THIS SURVEILLANCE VIDEO SHOWS BOOKER IN A THORNTON'S AROUND THE SAME TIME OF THE ALLEGED ASSAULT. IT'S THE REASON THE JUDGE AGREED TUESDAY TO LET THE TEENS OUT ON HOME INCARCERATION WITH SCHOOL RELEASE. Tyrone Booker: It shows that I was never near around the time that it happened. BOTH CRIMES HAPPENED THE NIGHT A MOB OF YOUNG PEOPLE ASSAULTED SEVERAL PEOPLE ALONG THE WATERFRONT AREA. Anna-Lysa: What were you doing the night of March 22nd? Shaquazz Allen: I left J-town and I was with my friend and we came after we get off the TARC I called my cousin and asked can he come pick me up. ALLEN SAYS HE AND HIS COUSIN PICKED UP BOOKER.. THEN WENT TO ANOTHER COUSIN'S HOUSE AT 39TH AND DUNCAN. THAT'S WHEN POLICE SHOWED UP. We was sitting on the porch for like five minutes and cops pulled up. Anna-Lysa What did the police say to you? They was like they looking for four black males. THE FOUR COUSINS ARE NOW KNOWN ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS THE MIS- IDENTIFIED FOUR. SUPPORTERS CLAIM THEY WERE RACIALLY PROFILED. ALL ARE NOW ON HOME INCARCERATION. "Anna-Lysa: If you are cleared of all your charges, how would that impact you? Tyrone: I'm going to have to fall on my knees and cry." BOOKER AND ALLEN WERE NEXT MONTH. BOOKER ALSO HAS A CHILD ON THE WAY AND IS ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED. WE REACHED OUT TO THE COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TODAY AND THEY SAY THEY ARE REVIEWING THIS CASE. THEY MAINTAIN THAT IT WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE GRAND JURY.

The problem of patients with poliomyelitis who need care in a respirator is becoming a matter of concern to those interested in the field of long-term illness or chronic disease. The basic problems are, of course, the increase of fundamental understanding of the epidemiology of poliomyelitis and the development of methods of preventing the disease. Considerable progress is being made in these areas. There is, nevertheless, the immediate problem of adequate care of poliomyelitis patients. Public health officials, hospital administrators, and physicians have paid particular attention to the care of poliomyelitis patients in the acute stage of illness and to the rehabilitation of those patients who are orthopedically handicapped. The problems of those patients who need care in a respirator seem to have received less

In Europe, a vast diversity of high quality foods provide the carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals and vitamins needed in the everyday diet of consumers. At the heart of food production is biotechnology. One aspect of biotechnology which has been used for centuries is the selective breeding of crop plants and farm animals to produce improved food. Another is fermentation, in use for millennia to produce fermented foods like cheese, bread, beer, sauerkraut and sausages.
The first use of gene technology two decades ago opened up the potential for many additional advances in both selective breeding and fermentation. Each specific step forward might be relatively small, but together they could add up to further improvements in the nutritional quality, appearance, flavour, convenience, cost and safety of foods.
In improving raw food materials, many plant breeding programmes have been directed towards boosting yield or allowing more environmentally compatible agriculture by increasing the resistance of crops to viruses, pests or herbicides. Increasing yield has clear benefits in helping to feed the world's ever-increasing population and could provide cheaper food. Plants which are resistant to attack by insect pests and diseases would need fewer pesticide applications; resistant crops such as maize, tomatoes and potatoes are already being developed. Crops have also been produced with tolerance to modern, more environmentally compatible herbicides, with the aim of achieving optimal weed control with reduced levels of herbicide.
Today, there is increasing interest in improving the nutritional value, flavour and texture of raw materials. This could help encourage greater fruit and vegetable consumption in line with government guidelines on healthy nutrition.
A range of promising crop plants are being developed with:
Necessary changes to the key food ingredients, starches and oils, are usually made by processing. Biotechnology opens up the possibility of altering crop plants to produce exactly the type of ingredients needed:
Research underway at present aims to allow the production of better food raw materials by crop plants. However, some processing steps remain essential to bridge the gap between currently-available raw materials and the desired end-product.
Traditional biotechnology has played a major role in producing fermented foods - where desirable changes are produced by the action of micro-organisms or enzymes - of which over 3,500 different types exist around the world. In Europe and North America, bread, yoghurt and cheese are perhaps most familiar. In Africa, foods made from fermented starch crops like yams and cassava are more important, whereas in Asia, products derived from fermented soya beans or fish predominate.
Fermentation can make the food more nutritious, tastier or easier to digest, and it can enhance food safety. It also helps to preserve food and to increase its shelf-life, reducing the need for additives. Genetically improved strains of microbes can make a major contribution to these desirable properties.
For many years, a wide range of additives, processing aids and supplements have been obtained from microbial sources by fermentation. Increasingly, modern biotechnology is being used here. Products include vitamins, citric acid, natural colourings, flavourings, gums and enzymes. Gums used as low-calorie thickening agents and low-calorie sweeteners from natural ingredients are also produced using modern biotechnology. Enzymes (see separate background paper) - the naturally-occurring catalysts responsible for literally all the biochemical processes of life - are used in applications such as bakery and cheese making to improve texture, appearance and nutritional value, and to generate desirable flavours and aromas.
A second area where biotechnology has advantages is in improving the processes by which food is produced. Here, it can be used to develop mild, highly specific processes using modified micro-organisms and purer, cheaper enzyme products. These can offer better productivity, cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency than existing processes. They can produce top-quality foods with a reduced need for additives such as flavourings, and can also reduce the environmental impact of food processing.
Specific areas of food processing where advances are being seen are:
Biotechnology - a definitionBiotechnology is any technique which uses living organisms or their components to make or modify products, to improve plants or animals or to develop micro-organisms for special uses.
Source: OECD
Gene technology - a definitionGene technology includes any technique for the controlled modification or transfer of genes from one organisms to another to give a desired characteristic.

No Forced Time Off at Navy Yard Shooting Site
As the prospects for a government shutdown increased on Monday, the U.S. Navy said that it was looking to protect people who work at the site of the Sept. 16 shooting attack that killed 12 people.
The Navy said that no one who was in the Washington Navy Yard office building where military contractor Aaron Alexis carried out the shooting spree will be forced to take unpaid time off during a government shutdown.
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus tweeted: "Those members of the #NavyFamily in Navy Yard Bldg 197 on Sept. 16 will be exempt in case of gov't shutdown."
"We remain committed to providing family services and to support the victims and families of this tragic event for as long as they need it," said one Navy official.

From the Vault: Merle Haggard in '04
"The Other Side of Me"
Originally published in the Feb. 17, 2004 issue of Country Weekly featuring Kenny Chesney on the cover. This story is presented here in its entirety.
Mighty Merle Haggard is happy with his family, career and new teeth—but not the media that brings us the news.
Merle Haggard's tour bus is rumbling through the lovely rolling hills of southern Missouri, but at the moment his mind is far away—in Iraq, to be precise.
It's not what he knows about the ongoing military action there that's troubling him. It's what he doesn't know.
That's why in his controversial new song "That's the News," the 66-year-old legend is angry with the media for indulging in wall-to-wall coverage of trashy tabloid stories while questions about the war go unanswered.
"Soldiers are being killed every day, so why were we led to believe the war was over?" he says. "Why were we led to believe that we should go there in the first place? Where are the weapons of mass destruction?
"I'm just asking questions. Are people satisfied with the force-feed, or would they really like to have the news, good or bad?" While Merle meant it as a broadside at the media, "That's the News" brought up a point that surprised many—namely, that the author of patriotic anthems like "The Fightin' Side of Me" opposed the decision to wage war in Iraq.
Merle was also willing to go to bat for others who shared his oppositional viewpoint—at the height of the Dixie Chicks controversy, he offered a spirited defense of the group. In a recent interview, Chick Martie Maguire singled him out as the only fellow country star who had stuck up for them.
Merle insists there hasn't been a turnaround in his worldview, and he quips that anyone who says there has "needs to turn around and look again." The man who lied about his age at 14 to volunteer for the Marine Corps still considers himself a true-blue patriot—just listen to "Yellow Ribbons," a tribute to the military on his new album, Haggard Like Never Before.
No, Merle just calls 'em like he sees 'em.
It's an approach that has always served him well, and still does. The notoriety of "That's the News" has pushed his record sales to levels he hasn't seen in a while. "It's a resurgence for me," he laughs, "and it couldn't happen to a better guy!"
Even in troubled times, Merle hasn't lost his sense of humor. That's because no matter what social ills he sees, things are pretty good in his personal life. "It's fun to be Merle Haggard right now," he muses cheerfully.
Boosting Merle's mood is his recent extensive dental work, which he claims has improved his singing. "I got a new jawbone built for myself," he notes. "Boy, that makes a lot of difference, gettin' them old rotten teeth out of there." And more important, Merle's spirits are raised by his family at home in California, who he sings about in several tunes on Haggard Like Never Before.
For example, one song grew out of a spat with wife Theresa. "We've been married for about 16 years, and one day I told her, 'Familiarity breeds contempt,'" he recalls. "Don't ever tell your woman that familiarity breeds contempt. Don't do that.
"I was just joking, but I don't think I've ever made my wife that mad. I didn't know what in the world to do—whether to buy her a new car or just go turn myself in to the police. So I thought, 'Well, maybe I can write myself out of a corner.' "
So he picked up his guitar and came up with the sweet love song "Because of Your Eyes"—and promptly got back into Theresa's good graces. "It did the trick, and does it every day," he reports. "Every time she hears it, she knows where it came from."
Another tune, "Hate to See It Go," is about watching his two youngest children, 14-year-old Jenessa and 11-year-old Ben, grow up (he also has four adult children from a previous marriage). "I've got a couple of the neatest kids," he marvels. "We have a really good rapport.
"I realize that I'm living in a period that, if I live to be 150, will always be special. I wish kids didn't have to grow. The bubble bursts and they go away. They go on with their lives, and you're left with just a memory."
So Merle is enjoying these precious days the best he can—even if raising teenagers has its trying moments. "It's a double-edged sword," he admits. "It's the most glorious thing in the world, and it can be the toughest thing in the world."
One thing that isn't stressing Merle out about his kids is their choice of music—which includes their dad's. "They listen to current, Britney Spears kind of music, but they also like Merle Haggard," he smiles. "By choice—you couldn't stuff your own music down your kids' face if they didn't like it."
And he plans to make much more music for his kids to enjoy before he's finished. Merle says he plans to keep it up "as long as I'm able to keep singing. You've got to be in good health to sing, and I feel better than I have for a long time. I'm ready for another 50 years!"

text: Tweet You can get a second chance Written by: Anna Risa | Place: Melbourne, Australia | Published: Friday, October 29, 2010 Is it really possible for God to forgive all our sins? And what am I supposed to do after that? The aftermath of one of Australia's most devastating disasters can teach us a great deal. Trees flash past the window, as does the barbed wire fencing that lines both sides of the road. I'm on the Hume, the interstate highway that connects the cities of Melbourne and Sydney, and I'm driving up to Sydney with some family members to attend a conference. My sister is sleeping next to me in the back seat of the station wagon; I've never been able to sleep well in cars, so I stare out the window at the Australian landscape, which is unusually lush and green for this time of the year – no doubt due to the deluge of rain that has poured down over Victoria in the last couple of weeks. Lost all hope Then the landscape changes – not gradually, but suddenly. The trees are black and bare, and the grass isn't lush and green anymore. My parents are talking softly in the front of the car, but without listening to them I know what I am seeing: one of the areas which the Black Saturday bushfires devastated in February of 2009, in arguably the most savage bushfires Australia has ever experienced. As I look at the charred countryside, I think of all the people out there in the world who have lost hope that life holds something worth having for them. Perhaps you are one of them. You've done something so bad that you don't believe God could ever forgive you for it. Or maybe you have simply lived a life so deep in sin, that you can see no happiness or pleasure in your future beyond immediate gratification of your lusts. You don't want this, but you feel there is no way out. But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. But as I look out the window of the car, I see something amazing. On many of these blackened, twisted and distorted trees, I can see green growth. It isn't much, only in its beginning stages, but it's growth nonetheless, creeping up the trunks and even along some of the branches. A verse I have read a number of times pops into my head, Malachi 4:2. "But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings." What a beautiful promise! The scars that sin has left you with can be healed. You can receive forgiveness if you are truly sorry for the things you have done and want to repent, which means that you don't want to do those things anymore. It's not all over because you took the wrong path once in life. Look at the trees that are sprouting leaves again - you can get a second chance too! A whole new life to live And that's not all. Forgiveness for your old sins is a wonderful gift, but as with the beginnings of growth on the trees – it's just the first step. Forgiveness puts you on the right path, but after that there is a whole new life to live. A couple of verses in Romans 6 explain this very clearly. "Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God." (v. 12, 13) Instead of being controlled by your lusts, you can be rid of them and come to a life of peace, joy and fulfillment. This is a life where you don't give in to sin when you are tempted. You break free from your old habits of irritation, impatience and impurity. You can follow Jesus: you fight against sin when you sense that you want to do something that you know is not right. Instead of being controlled by your lusts, you can be rid of them and come to a life of peace, joy and fulfillment, where the future is not something to be dreaded, but rather something you can embrace with open arms. There is no higher calling than this! Learn more about overcoming sin."For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23.

Anyone knows how to convert VOB files from DVD to a format iMovie can recognize?
VOB files usually exist on DVD discs, or are downloaded from movie sharing sites. When you put a commercial DVD disc and home DVD disc, you'll see lots of VOB files there. Besides VOB files, you'll also find IFO and BUP files inside the Video_TS folder. However, only VOB files contain the real DVD movies.
Convert VOB to iMovie Supported Format on Mac OS X (El Capitan)
Previously, you can try to create an disk image file with VOB files by using Disk Utility and then import .dmg image to iMovie as camera. Actually, that is a workaround. But it doesn't work anymore. To import your local VOB files or VOB files from DVD discs to iMovie, the easiest way is to convert VOB to iMovie compatible format with a VOB converter software. Here I highly recommend this professional yet easy-to-use video converter - iSkysoft iMedia Converter Deluxe. It lets you convert VOB files to iMovie in a few clicks. An iMovie preset is included for easy access. See how below about converting VOB files to iMovie format.

Tips: Why Convert VOB to iMovie?
When you try to import VOB to iMovie for editing, you'll find out that all VOB files in the Video_TS folder are just greyed out. That's because VOB is not supported by iMovie. To edit VOB files in iMovie (no matter iMovie HD, iMovie 08, iMovie 09, or iMovie 11), you have to convert VOB files to iMovie friendly format first. iMovie supports MOV, M4V and AVI with M-JPEG encoded.

Motorola Picking Up
In the mid-1990s, American baby boomers rushed to buy tiny StarTAK phones, which suggested something of Captain Kirk's self confidence. "Beam me up, Scotty" was still in our memory, and Motorola's (MOT) mojo could make Austin Powers blush. Then somehow, the curves vanished. Corporate groups lost focus and products became obese and clunky. While Nokia (NOK) and iPod accepted accolades for artsy industrial designs, most consumer electronic designs were simply boring. Motorola went through a dark age.
It has been almost ten years, and a visit to the Motorola global corporate website reveals a roaring change. The homepage appears to be heavily influenced by Apple.com's clean use of the color grey and plenty of white space. A Flash demo of the new Rokr cellphone makes quite a splash. Whereas last year's Razr had turned heads, this year's Rokr wants to spin them. The corporate portal superbly captures the new brand positioning of Motorola. Even the navigation bar manages not to be boring and is particularly easy to use, unlike so many dhtml navigation menus in cyberspace. Moreover, this corporate site does not miss the opportunity to sell! Motorola - picking up Motorola's use of Flash animation to introduce product is especially noteworthy. Clicking on MotoQ links to a teaser (make that "tzr" in the Moto lingo) that offers to keep you updated on an unspecified future introduction of the PDA -- a great opportunity for building a database of interested consumers. Other Flash demos, like SLVR, wrap the phone in elegant sexiness. The clips could come straight from the LucasFilm studio (without THX).
The MotoLounge, accessible from the e-Shop site, segments the market by different lifestyles (work smarter, live simply). It's interesting but stretches the brand across too many diverse lifestyles, producing a loss in message consistency.
The Rokr phone has received some flak for its bad compromises. It is designed by a corporate committee (epitomized in the diverging interests of Cingular, Apple (AAPL) and Motorola) and not by a passion for the customer. Online communication departments typically face a similar dilemma of too much contrasting input. The result can be that their website starts to fragment and lose an otherwise focused brand message. Is this a trap into which Motorola is falling?
This worry aside, overall Motorola.com works, and it works rather well. There is so much cool material on the site that it is easy to be carried away and perhaps lose sight of key objectives. If the goal is to deliver a powerful and consistent brand message, the tip of this iceberg is perfectly aligned with the new Motorola. However, digging deeper, it becomes harder to recognize the brand, as its message often takes a backseat to other priorities. Make no mistake though: Moto is back, and its sites are benchmarks.

I have figured how to do this with PAM using listfile but would like to
have a PAM module that returned success if the users is on one of the
private LAN IP ranges(10.x.x.x, 192,168.x.x or the other one which no
one uses).
auth required pam_privatenet.so sense=allow
A more general IP check would also be useful. Success if the user is on
one of the ip ranges listed in a file.
(auth required pam_iplist.so sense=allow file=/etc/ssh/allowedips)
I think that a version of listfile that does this has been written but
does not seem to be in the main PAM stream of development so perhaps a
new listIP PAM module could be created.
I then use the PAM 'jump' action to get what I want from /etc/pam.d/sshd
auth [success=1] pam_listfile.so sense=allow file=/etc/ssh/allowedusers
auth required pam_privatenet.so sense=allow --or-- auth required
pam_iplist.so sense=allow file=/etc/ssh/allowedips
auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth required pam_nologin.so
In the session section, I set up the menus for the users based on their
usernames. Having it all in one place will make it easier to maintain.
For my part, I would prefer to have 1 place to control access (PAM)
rather than 2 but not everyone is using PAM quite so intensively. I was
not either but am now a bit enthused about what can be done.

I like station wagons. Always have. Even little ones can be handy. Flip down the seat and you can haul packages, luggage, bikes or sundry supplies from the lumberyard for weekend chores. Of course, little wagons can't swallow as much cargo as sport-utility vehicles or minivans, but they hold more than a small sedan and get good gas mileage. They cost less, too. Hyundai's decision to offer a wagon version of its Elantra is based on just these assumptions. It joins the Ford Escort, Mercury Tracer, Suzuki Esteem and Saturn wagon as the only small wagons available. The Elantra GLS station wagon with a CD player and alloy wheels, for example, stickers for less than $16,000. Its overall interior volume is 129.6 cubic feet, which exceeds many of its competitors. This four-door wagon is a good example of what's right with Hyundai's current product line. With a 130-horsepower, four-cylinder engine, it moves out smartly, even when equipped with an automatic transmission. This 1.8-liter, dual-overhead-cam (DOHC), 16-valve powerplant goes abouts it normal chores without complaint. Only under full throttle does it get the least bit loud. The electroncially controlled four-speed automatic transmission may slow acceleration from a standstill, but city driving is more relaxed. On the highway I found I made frequent use of the lever-mounted button for shifting out of overdrive when I needed a bit of extra zip to move through traffic. Overall, the Elantra's body structure feels tight and solid. The doors open and close with a satisfying thunk, and there were no squeaks or rattles. Inside, the passenger compartment is finished nicely. The instrument panel has a soft, leather-like texture. Gauges are bunched together in a black binnacle. The rear wiper switch hard to reach because it was on the dash behind the steering wheel. Dual airbags are standard, too. One of my pet peeves is a radio with tiny buttons, and the ones on this unit were microscopic. I suspect the combining the CD player into such a small unit is the culprit. The stereo's sound quality was fine, however. One reason you can hear the stereo so well is because there is not a lot of wind and road noise. The lack of extraneous sound comes from the use of extensive sound deadening as well as mounting the suspension on subframes. Using fully independent suspensions, front and rear, aids the handling and tames the ride, which can be fairly rough in a car with a 100.4-inch wheelbase. Never did I find the ride uncomfortable. Four-wheel, anti-lock brakes are optional. Another factor that contributes to a pleasant ride is the tightly contoured seats that have a tweed-like cloth is bonded to the foam. The lack of stitches eliminates wrinkling of the fabric. The driver's seat has adjustable lumbar support, and the mounting points for the seat belts adjust for height to accommodate small drivers. The split/folding , 60/40 back seat folds easily to expand the cargo space. A pull-out shade covers valuables with the seat is in place. From a styling perspective, the Elantra wagon looks like a small version of a bigger car. Its proportions are appealing and the rounded styling attractive. Hyundai has worked hard to improve its reputation, and the Elantra wagon is a good example of how the product has been improved. Price The base price of our GLS wagon was $13,999. Standard equipment included power windows, power locks, power mirrors, interval wipers, tilt wheel, automatic transmission, power steering and AM/FM stereo. Options on our test included alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, floor mats, mud guards, body side moldings and upgraded stereo with CD player. Warranty The standard warranty is for three years or 36,000 miles. Vehicles for The Star's week-long test drives are supplied by the auto manufacturers. Point: Flexibile hauling capability, good gas mileage and a reasonable price make the Elantra wagon appealing. Counterpoint: The tiny radio controls were frustrating to use and the engine was a bit loud under full throttle. SPECIFICATIONS: ENGINE: 1.8-liter, 4-cyl. TRANSMISSION: automatic WHEELBASE: 100.4 inches CURB WEIGHT: n BASE PRICE: $13,999 PRICE AS DRIVEN: $15,971 MPG RATING: 21 city, 30 hwy.

Cloud Distribution on hunt for new wave of technology firms
Cloud Distribution has hired start-up industry veteran, Adam Davison, to seek out disruptive networking and security vendors to add its portfolio.
The distie is specifically on the hunt for firms looking to gain a foothold in the UK, and as such, is offering tailored vendor support launch packs, bespoke sales training, presales and technical training, a virtual marketing team and an end user pipeline generation platform to help VARs get up to speed with the new solutions and grow an immediate pipeline of qualified opportunities.
Davison (pictured) says he has first-hand experience of working for a start-up: "It's tough when you're operating in an environment where the more established vendors get all the distributor's energy and attention. There is a real need for a 'next-generation distributor' – a company that is willing to put evangelistic effort into less well-known, but high value proposition vendors."
"In the current economic climate distributors need to be truly adding value – a term that is overused and undervalued," adds Scott Dobson, managing director at the firm. "Cloud Distribution specialises in innovative and disruptive new technologies that VARs can take to market quickly and easily and where the value in the transaction can truly be seen. I am confident that Adam will help us take the company to the next level and strengthen our channel proposition."
Cloud Distribution has already launched a number of vendors to the UK market including Meraki, Peplink, Vit@r and Vyatta, which was recently acquired by Brocade.
Adam's appointment follows a series of new hires as Cloud Distribution expands its team which has included James Ball, technical manager and Tracey Hannan, sales manager for the new Northern office.

Did you know Canada.. I wanted to look at another Canadian invention today – the IMAX!! Canadians Graeme Ferguson, Roman Kroitor, Robert Kerr, and William C. Shaw developed the IMAX system in 1968. IMAX is a motion picture film format and a set of proprietary cinema projection standards, IMAX increases the resolution of the image by using a much larger film frame. IMAX theatre construction also differs significantly from conventional theatres. The increased resolution allows the audience to be much closer to the screen. You've probably been to a few different style of IMAX screens. 'Avatar: An IMAX 3D Experience' is the all-time highest grossing IMAX release; the worldwide IMAX box office total for the film climbed to more than $220 million since the movie's launch in December 2009. Very exciting and a great Canadian invention Read more →

We were sporting our long johns all weekend, so we would have looked horrible at Improv Everywhere's annual No Pants Subway Ride. Luckily Gawker operative Stephen Kosloff was there to take pictures of all the panty raiders for our amusement.
If you'd prefer to see all the pics on one page, click here.
Improve Everywhere, what? You or your loved ones have heard of them? They do an annual No Pants Subway Ride, and that went down yesterday. This was the column of soon-to-be-pantless folk that massed in Williamsburg. In the dappled light they converged silently, grimly, on the Dekalb Ave stop on the trusty L line.
Improv Everywhere was thoughtful enough to provide security for the unpantsed. Shortly after this photo was taken the pantless duo in the background exited the train and proceeded directly to couples therapy.
For just pennies a day you can buy this congenial hipster a pair of god damn pants.
Here we have an image of a pants-popper reading the highly regarded Zen and the Art of Being a Nordic Goddess.
The irony of this picture is that the gentleman in the blue cap invented pants.
This gentleman wasn't planning on participating, but he had soiled himself so the pants had to go.
Participants take their bare legs and their positive, "can-do" attitudes out of the MTA system and into Union Square Park. This was my second No Pants Subway ride, and I'm happy to report that this year I did not find among my pictures of the event a shot of a guy with his johnson hanging out of his boxers. Unlike last year.
The atmosphere was festive in Union Square, and there were many opportunities for dialoging. Mostly about pants, and not wearing them. I suspect that the man on the right was not in fact some casual pantsless business man, but was instead an agent of Improv Everywhere. Just look at that moustache. Ditto with his be-capped poster pal.
After receiving a flood of batch-processing errors—defragmented motherboards and what have you—Verizon sent an technician to Union Square. That employee has since gone missing. The authorities are now conducting a frantic house-to-house search in theaters near you.
Of course the question on everyone's mind after standing around freezing their genitals off in Union Square for an hour was "Hey where can we go get drunk?" For the subjects in this photo the answer was the Crocodile Lounge over there on 14th Street. Free pizza!
The best part was when unsuspecting pants-wearers walked into the bar and dozens of raving lunatics would start screaming at the top of their lungs "TAKE THEM OFF!! TAKE THEM OFF!!" It made me proud to be a New Yorker, and yes, most of the time the people took their pants off. Those that didn't received a complimentary acupuncture session next to the pizza oven.
Speaking of free pizza at the Crocodile Lounge, this guy was like "Hey look at this tattoo of a bunny rabbit on my chest." I was like, "That's not a rabbit that's an owl about to put the smack-down on a demon-viper." Meanwhile, in the background, as I'm sure you've realized by now, is Thomas, my comrade-in-legs and coincidentally the coolest bartender in New York, who does not work at the Crocodile Lounge. Thomas and I are not gay for each other (yet), but the prognosis is favorable.
My business card is in this woman's pants, but I didn't put it there. Her name: Marianna. Her nationality: Venezuelan or Colombian, I don't remember? Her occupation: visual merchandising for [redacted: a trendy computer company]. Her mission: to be kind of hot and to not wear any pants. You can feel free to literally stand up in your cubicle or bedroom and give her a round of applause.

Ministers hide behind civil servants, who cannot be called to account. This must change
The fiasco over the West Coast Main Line franchise must not become just the latest in a string of scandals revealing government waste and ineptitude. It should be an opportunity to open up Whitehall to outside scrutiny, so more errors that could cost up to £300 million will not be made.
Patrick McLoughlin's honest admission that the decision was wrong implies that, as the new Transport Secretary, he can simply break with the past. But we've had eight transport secretaries since May 2006 working on vital, long-term projects; and each time they change jobs accountability for failures and mishaps stops.

Enjoy whatever you do today. Have a good one.

Now to get them all to smile at the same time.

An invasion that's not quite an invasion. Operatives who aren't quite troops. Aggression no doubt, albeit aggression with plausible deniability.
We've been in this place before, although it didn't always make international headlines. We were here in the conflicts in Georgia's breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in the early 1990s.
We were here in the conflict in Moldova's separatist Transdniester province. We were here dramatically in the run-up to Russia's August 2008 war with Georgia.
And here we are again today, in Ukraine.
It's been called hybrid warfare, asymmetrical warfare, and ambiguous warfare. But warfare it is, and Russia appears to have perfected using it to achieve its geopolitical aims.
The Little Green Men are probably here to stay. Is there any way to counter them?
In the latest Power Vertical Podcast, we discuss this phenomenon and its implications. Joining me are co-host Mark Galeotti, a professor at New York University, an expert on Russia's security services, and author of the blog "In Moscow's Shadows" and Merhat Sharipzhan, a senior correspondent and analyst with RFE/RL's Central Newsroom.

Keeping your cooling system in top-notch operating condition requires periodic maintenance of air condition units and systems. If left unattended for long periods of time, central air conditioning units will get dirty, requiring more energy to keep the house cool and potentially cost you money. A routine inspection, repair and cleaning program can help you avoid premature failure of the system. Even window air conditioning units can benefit from maintenance. Listed here are some tips to keep your air conditioning units performing at their peak.
Change the air filter monthly – This is the easiest and least expensive way to perform maintenance of air conditioning units. A dirty filter restricts air flow and allows particulate to get through, clogging the system's evaporator coils. Changing the filter once a month means the air conditioner doesn't have to overwork to keep the home cool.
Keep your drip pan and drain line clean – Water removed from the air collects in a pan beneath the evaporator coils and runs outside. Because these components stay wet all the time, they are prone to mold and slime growth and dirt collection, eventually causing them to clog. Maintenance of air conditioning units should always include cleaning of these two items, because if they do clog, mold may grow inside the unit, and condensate will back up and carry over into the ductwork, dripping on furniture and floors inside the house.
Clean your coils – There are two sets of coils on every air conditioner, regardless of its type. On central air conditioning units, the condenser coil is outside at the unit, and the evaporator coil is housed in the main ductwork near the forced air fan (this coil may or may not be accessible). On window air conditioning units, the coils are located inside behind the grille and on the outside end. The unit may have to be removed to access the outside coils. Thorough maintenance of air conditioning units should include cleaning of the coils if possible, since they are the heat exchanging surfaces that determine how well the overall system performs. If they can be accessed, they can be cleaned with a commercially-available coil cleaner, a scrub brush and a garden hose.
Maintenance of air conditioning units should be done only on those areas easily accessible by the homeowner. If the system is enclosed or sealed, maintenance should be performed by a qualified air conditioning professional who has the tools and knowledge to do the job right. Regular maintenance is vital for the lowest cooling costs, highest efficiencies, and longest life possible from the air conditioning units. At a minimum, maintenance of air conditioning units should be performed once a year, in the springtime, before regular usage begins during the hot summer months.

Hi all -
I'm hoping that I'll be able to find an expert or two to help me with a problem that I've been struggling with for the last few days. I'm brand new to Fireworks (using the beta of CS4) and have just begun using it to design web application interfaces (prototyping). I was really shocked to learn that I can't create tables in Fireworks, which is a severe limitation in my view is this app is really going to be used as a prototyping tool. The interfaces that I'm designing are very data heavy and consequently utilize tables extensively.
I've been trying to find a way to overcome this limitation, but I'm at my wits end. I really like everything else the tool can do, but I won't be able to use it if I can't figure out how to do tables in my prototyping work.
So, here's what I've tried:
I've tried creating a table in Dreamweaver (I'm using CS3), saving it as an HTML file and then using the import function in Fireworks - this give me an error. This would be, for my workflow, the best way to create tables if I could figure out how to get them into Fireworks. If anyone has any ideas here, I would really appreciate it.
I've also tried to create the tables in Excel and save the table as a PDF, but I can't figure out how to get the PDF into Fireworks (I read a thread on this board where someone said that's what they did to overcome the table problem in Fireworks). This would also be a good solution as Excel is great to work with.
If anyone could help me with either of these issues (or if you have a better suggestion), I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

One of the Wii U launch titles Nintendo's been hyping up since E3 2012 is Nintendo Land. It's a mini-game collection filled with numerous "attractions" inspired by classic Nintendo games. The thing is, you don't want to go into a mini-game collection blind. You want to have some kind of idea, however vague, of what games you'll be getting. Especially since it seems like Nintendo Land will cost $59.99 when it appears on November 18, 2012.
Fortunately, a full Nintendo Land attraction list reveal was part of the schedule for today's Wii U presentation in New York. We now know every game that will be in the collection. While some received a little extra attention, Metroid Blast in particular, most were either revealed via the Nintendo Land page on Nintendo.com and minor announcements.
Anyways, let's see what Nintendo Land has to offer!
- Animal Crossing: Sweet Day
- Balloon Trip Breeze
- Captain Falcon's Twister Race
- Donkey Kong's Crash Course
- The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest
- Luigi's Ghost Mansion
- Mario Chase
- Metroid Blast
- Octopus Dance
- Pikmin Adventure
- Takamaru's Ninja Castle
- Toshi's Fruit Cart
Of those 12 attractions, 6 are multiplayer games. The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest, Metroid Blast and Pikmin Adventure are cooperative multiplayer games where people work together on a team to accomplish some kind of goal. Animal Crossing: Sweet Day, Luigi's Ghost Mansion and Mario Chase have competitive and cooperative elements, as they pit users wielding Wii remotes against the player using the Wii U gamepad.
I have to admit, I did really enjoy trying Nintendo Land at E3 2012. I don't think it's worth $59.99, but it will be a nice pack-in for people grabbing the $349.99 deluxe Wii U bundle.

I died more to Piety then I do to Dominus, since her ice transformation -> teleport combo is a bit RNG. With Dominus you have full control over the fight, no RNG to kill you there.
Overall though, Piety is easier and requires almost no gear. She's good to farm while you're still gaining levels. I switched to Dominus at level 75, until then I farmed Piety.
Piety's arrows can murder me easily even with max resists. It takes 3-4 hits but it's so painful, and I end up hiding behind a pillar when she takes that form. Her other forms are fine though. I feel so squishy with this build...

Drago are you looking to train for speed or endurance?
I've done it occasionally. Not sure how beneficial it is. I think you'd have to be consistant with it. It's like training with bag gloves then putting on 18oz sparring gloves. You feel a difference. Problem is I've found is that because of the extra weight people slow their punches down. If you're looking for speed you don't want to do that.
Rubber is better, it works and has the same propertys as muscle and the joints. The more you open the joint the weaker it becomes if you get my meaning.
You mean those exercise band thingies? I like those.
Do you mean open as in the potential for hyper extension? Or just open as in away from the body?
The more you extend a joint the weaker it becomes the more you stretch bands the weaker it becomes, plus it brings the Hands back naturally with the recoil. Ive noticed at the Uni a lot of press and Squat machines are being tested with Rubber instead of weigths at the moment, seems someone is taking notice at last.
I did a little shadow boxing with light weights, never full force or fast though. I would do 1 round with 5 pound weights really, really slow focusing on form and getting my hands back to my face. I would then do another round with 3 pound weights slightly increasing speed. I would never fully extend or punch full power with weights in my hands. After that I would drop the weights and do a few rounds full speed. I definately noticed an improvement in my hand speed. Admittedly my advice is bad though because my trainer was a conditioning guy not a boxing coach.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
cheers guys, yo killersheep i am looking more for conditioning anyway just want to try something different, sounds like i gotta take it easy with them then or risk injury?
A great exercise to strengthen your shoulders is to get dumbells and hold both of your arms straight out to the sides until you can't hold them out anymore count 3 slow breaths lift them out in front you again until you can't hold them anymore count 3 slow breaths again and repeat 3 times, don't do this before bagwork or you will regret it.

I think the worst thing about them is they teach you to be tense while punching, instead of making a fist at the end of the motion your doing it from the get go. A muscle will only do what it has been taught, so you don't want to teach it an inefficient motion, velcro straps and elastic can add great resistance for much greater benefit.

good job i asked u guys otherwise i would of ended up doing jabs with 50kilo weights ha ha

Now are you talking about the long resistance bands, or the pro shadow boxer thing.
I own one of those pro shadow boxers that look like this:
[Only registered users can see this boxing forum link. ]
However, it really only works straight punches, which is good, but its not good for throwing hooks and uppercuts.

By Her Support, Does She Earn His Infidelity?
"'Having multiple sex partners may be an attempt to compensate for feelings of inadequacy,' suggests a paper presented at the 105th annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in August. The study looked at 18- to 28-year-old married and cohabiting heterosexuals who had been in the same relationship for at least a year. Data was culled from the continuing National Longitudinal Survey of Youth begun in 1997.
Men who were completely dependent on their female partner's income were five times more likely to cheat than men who contributed an equal amount of money to the relationship. And, in a cruel twist for women, men who earn significantly more than their female partners are also more likely to cheat. The safety zone, apparently, is when women make 75 percent of what men earn, which sounds suspiciously like the national average of women's salaries relative to men's.
But the findings don't entirely explain the enduring glass ceiling. According to the study's author, Christin L. Munsch, the relationship between economic dependence and male infidelity disappeared when age, education level, income, religious attendance and relationship satisfaction were taken into account. 'This means that some of these other factors are affecting it, but we don't know what they are,' Ms. Munsch said. She plans to follow up with a more detailed analysis. One explanation may be that economically dependent men are less happy in their relationships, and therefore more likely to cheat."

Football is about to start, and all of Oakland seems to be focused on the Raiders and rooting for a great season. As a professional airline pilot who has worked for U.S. airlines for almost 30 years, however, I'm concerned about a different kind of raider -- and if these raiders prevail, the effects could be disastrous.
Right now, the U.S. aviation system is among the safest in the world. Almost 65 million passengers used Bay Area airports last year, and I'm proud to have been one of the pilots getting them safely to their destinations. But today we're facing a serious threat to the industry -- an attempt to evade long-standing principles of safety and security by creating a new flag-of-convenience model at the expense of U.S. airlines and their employees.
Norwegian Air International (NAI) is seeking U.S. government approval to fly in and out of the United States. It's Norwegian owned, based in Ireland (though it never lands there), and hires Thailand-based pilots through a Singaporean contracting firm. Why? Advantageous laws and regulations that build an unlevel playing field.
This has happened before. In the 1960s, a flag-of-convenience model took over the U.S. maritime industry and reduced it to shambles. A profession that employed 100,000 Americans now has fewer than 2,500.
Allowing the Norwegian raiders to create an unlevel playing field in the airline industry will produce the same result: U.S. airline jobs will become a thing of the past.
The U.S. airline industry directly employs more than 500,000 Americans (with the three Bay-area airports supporting more than 40,000 jobs) and indirectly supports the jobs of millions more. It accounts for fully 5 percent of our gross domestic product. And it safely transports people and goods across the country and throughout the world every day, enabling our very way of life. All of that is at risk.
NAI's application for a foreign air-carrier permit raises questions about safety oversight and accountability. How can Ireland's regulator verify with confidence that NAI's operations meet international standards when its planes will never touch Irish soil?
You've read plenty of articles about safety issues regarding cruise ships in today's maritime industry. That's the future of air travel under the NAI model.
A Norwegian airline based in Ireland hires Thai pilots through a Singapore agency -- each location specially selected to create an unlevel playing field.
While the airline industry has never shied away from competition, anyone would have a hard time competing when the playing field isn't level. Imagine the Raiders lining up against a team with two quarterbacks, each with a football. We all need to play by the same rules. U.S. airlines can and will thrive in a fair competitive environment.
But NAI's shell game eschews fairness, and it's prohibited by both U.S. law and the U.S. European Union Air Transport Agreement. Hundreds in Congress, including both California Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer; my local representative, John Garamendi; and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, agree and have spoken publicly and/or voted against this scheme.
The Department of Transportation must enforce U.S. law and the U.S.-EU Open Skies treaty by denying NAI's application.
Keep these raiders out of our airports and maintain the safety, accountability, and competitiveness of this great industry.

Cincinnati police are still looking for a man accused of killing a new mother last week.

Acquired by Facebook, Instagram is Over?
In less than two years since first released in 6 October 2010, Instagram has been one of the highly phenomenal mobile applications worldwide. During the last month, it has also been a hot topic everywhere, particularly for the release of Instagram for Android, which was then followed by the application being acquired by Facebook—one of the biggest social media.
While most people responded positively to the release of Instagram for Android as it means that the application is now available for more excited users, Facebook's acquirement of Instagram raises some contrasting responses and comments. Though many, especially Facebook lovers, said that the acquirement may bring a good future and new exciting photo-sharing experience, there have been many Instagram users –either those accessing from iOS devices or Android—announced that they would delete Instagram from their mobile devices, as reported by The Huffington Post.
The main issues that caused Instagram users to think that the acquirement is not a good idea is particularly the privacy concerns that come with Facebook, as well as that the acquirement has made Instagram no longer exclusive. Also, "Now that Instagram had a corporate overlord it was totally uncool," The Huffington Post reported. Facebook's acquirement has made Instagram users fear that the application will then be ruined by Facebook's various information or advertisements.
The controversy of the acquirement has even gone further to users starting to find alternative photo-filter applications that will work like Instagram. This, however, leads to a speculation that Instagram may be over soon.
How about you? Do you like Facebook's acquirement of Instagram and think that this will be a good future for both companies, or do you dislike it and think that Instagram is coming to its end? You can state whichever side you're on by clicking on the poll below.Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

If you decide your purchase of a plugin or tool was not the right decision, we want to make things right. Within 30 days of any purchase, Yoast BV will refund the full price you paid upon request. Simply contact us by replying to your purchase email or through our contact form and let us know you'd like a refund, with a clear explanation of why you're not happy. No refunds are provided after more than 30 days following purchase.
Refunds for the website review service
If you purchased a website review and consider the review not worth its money, we would love to talk to you about that. We consider our website reviews a bargain and value good feedback. While it remains at Yoast's discretion to grant a refund, we will work hard to make you happy.
