Work underway now on Meridian City Hall includes removing lowered ceilings, adding new staircases and exposing windows that had been covered for years. As much as possible, the building is being restored to its original design.
"It's like plaster and they made it look like marble, and that's the type finish that we're going back to," said Ed Skipper, city clerk and chief financial officer for Meridian.
From the restoration of the marble and wood flooring to all the windows being replaced with the same kind that were originally used, city officials say this process has cost much more than expected.
"The issue with any old building is, you don't know what you're getting into until you take off some of the components and get down to the basics," Skipper said. "There were costs associated with contract work being higher post-Katrina. Petroleum prices were going up at that point, which affects the costs of everything."
Built in 1914, Meridian City Hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Skipper says this alone has presented some additional challenges, especially as contractors work to meet modern building codes while preserving the building's historic integrity.
"We're governed by Archives and History rules and they require certain levels," said Skipper. "Where we may have proposed a less costly set of windows, for example, we had to get the higher cost window to restore the historic nature of the building."
Prior to work starting and any evaluations being done, the estimated cost for the project was around $8 million. With all of the unforeseen expenses that have emerged, Skipper says, in the end, the project will likely cost twice that, around $17 million.

Julio Borbon has winning hit in 14th for Cubs
Pinch-hitter Julio Borbon had a two-out RBI single in the 14th inning, helping the Chicago Cubs beat the Reds 6-5 Thursday and end Cincinnati's record 12-game winning streak at Wrigley Field.
The Cubs hadn't beaten the Reds at Wrigley since last August 9. With the win, the Cubs avoided a four-game sweep and improved to 3-10 against the Reds this season.
Hector Rondon (1-0) pitched two of the Chicago bullpen's eight scoreless innings. Jonathan Broxton (2-2) was the loser in the longest game for both teams this season.
Starlin Castro led off the 14th with a single off Broxton, stole second when Anthony Rizzo struck out and got to third on Alfonso Soriano's groundout to first. Nate Schierholtz was intentionally walked before borbon's hit.

For the past 40 years I have had the privilege of association with Don Cortichiato through a wide variety circumstances. From those associations I have known Don to be "a great guy." Over the past several years, Don and I have volunteered together supporting a local nonprofit organization. From that association I have found Don to be a very effective leader, demonstrating keen and in depth insight into complex issues. He is equally capable of presenting reasonable solutions to these issues. The water issues facing the Indian Wells Valley are complex. I am confident that Don Cortichiato will provide the leadership necessary to ensure and enhance the quality and availability of our Valley's water.

On account of statements being circulated by enemies of the bond issue in Ashland that the county court intended to begin construction of the county highway at the Josephine County line instead of the California line, Judge Tou Velle issued the following open letter today:
"To the People of Ashland:
"The call for the bond election stipulates that construction begin at the California line. To begin anywhere else would invalidate the bond issue.
"It is the county court's intention to award a contract for the grading of the highway over the Siskiyous as soon as possible after the election, provided the bonds carry, so that the grade may settle during the winter before it is surfaced next spring.
"The first section of highway constructed will be that from the California line to the present county road.
"F.L. TOU VELLE, County Judge"
The suit brought in the circuit court by residents of Pleasant Creek contesting an election for consolidation of districts 62 and 26, was dismissed and the temporary injunction restraining the district boundary board from declaring those districts consolidated was dissolved by Judge Calkins this morning in an opinion in which he held the election to be valid.
Judge Calkins' opinion holds that two of the votes cast for consolidation were illegal; also that two cast against consolidation were not qualified voters, leaving the result of the election as shown by the returns prior to the commencement of the suit.
Attorneys Newberry and Neff appeared for the contestants and the boundary board was represented by the district attorney.
The Federation of Ladies' Clubs of Ashland have extended an invitation to the Parent-Teachers circles of Medford to a basket picnic in the Chautaqua Grove, Ashland, Tuesday, Sept. 2, for the purpose of bringing the club women of the Rogue River valley together, believing it will be beneficial for us all.
The ladies of Ashland will furnish hot coffee, sugar, cream, tables, dishes, etc.
They wish each club to give their plans for the coming year. Luncheon at noon. Program 2:30. Everyone go and take your basket.

"Put out (for sale) anything you've got that you want to get rid of," said Candy Holt of Benton, who is planning a garage sale this weekend. "And if they want it, they'll buy it. Sometimes you make pretty good and sometimes you don't."
Holt said a key element to a successful sale is to offer clean items in a clean environment.
"When they see junk, they don't stop. They just go on by," Holt said.

Stars Help Museum of the Moving Image Honor Hugh Jackman
With less than two weeks to go before audiences get to experience Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean in Tom Hooper's "Les Miserables," the Museum of the Moving Image saluted The Boy from Oz on Tuesday night.
The 27th annual event held at Cipriani Wall Street drew a who's who of industry names including Jackman's friends Mike Nichols and Christopher Nolan, and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.
"It's an honor to be the 27th and, if the Mayan calendar is right, last recipient of this award," Jackman said.
After a fish dinner was served, past and present costars including Anne Hathaway and Eddie Redmayne ("Les Miserables"), Rachel Weisz ("The Fountain") and Liev Schreiber ("X-Men Origins: Wolverine") feted the star.
Before confessing that Jackman was "probably the most disciplined, talented, emotionally, physically and spiritually gifted actor I will ever share a sauna with," Schreiber came clean on his reasons for playing Jackman's mutant brother Victor in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."
"That motion picture was to be the franchise I would retire on – every aging actor's dream," Schreiber said. "A steady paying, sequel-producing character to keep me from the impoverished obscurity of the New York stage and propel my already considerably spoiled children through the overpriced minefield of New York City private schools. Unfortunately after a brief sampling of the training regiment required to sustain a career like Hugh's, I began to wonder how wise it was for an actor of my age and stature to go galloping through his golden years as a giant game cat. That and the fact that no one bothered to write me into the sequel."
After letters from both Nicole Kidman and Alec Baldwin were read, Weisz recounted how Jackman "sobbed" for a half hour after her then fiancé and "Fountain" director Darren Aronofsky yelled cut while comedian Rachel Dratch, in a full-on Aussie accent, introduced the infamous SNL Christmas Kangaroo skit Jackman brought to life in 2009.
When it was finally time for Jackman to receive his award, he thanked his colleagues and the black-tie crowd before revealing why it's so hard for his wife to shop for him.
"I'm a low key guy," he joked. "I want pretty much what I want every year, which is for a movie with me starring in it to open up on Christmas Day and maybe a night like this just to top it off."

New York Life Foundation Awards $600,000 to Support Educational Enhancement Programs for Youth at Public Libraries Throughout the Five Boroughs
NEW YORK, NY, June 8, 2011 — The New York Life Foundation announced today grants totaling $600,000 to three public library systems offering educational enhancement opportunities for culturally diverse students in need of school , college and career services in Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. The Foundation made three, two-year grants of $200,000 each to the Brooklyn Public Library's Brooklyn Connections program, the New York Public Library's teen programs and the Queens Library's Youth Workforce Development program.
"We are pleased to support libraries that offer a wide range of programs and services that build essential skills and provide access to resources to New York City's young people free of charge," said Marlyn Torres, assistant vice president, New York Life Foundation. "Helping students form a strong academic foundation increases their chances for success in their careers and their lives."
The Brooklyn Public Library's Brooklyn Connections helps eighth-grade students explore the Brooklyn Collection archives, located at the Central Library, to complete their social studies "exit projects" — a New York City Department of Education requirement for graduation. The Foundation's grant will help enhance the current program to serve more middle school students and eventually expand it to three area high schools.
The New York Public Library's (NYPL's) Teen Advisory Groups at 30 libraries throughout the Bronx, Manhattan and Staten Island provide support for youth without educational or technological resources at home and serve as an after-school safe haven. The grant from the New York Life Foundation supports teen programming in the following neighborhood libraries:
- Bronx – Bronx Library Center (in Bedford Park), Grand Concourse, Pelham Bay, and West Farms
- Manhattan – Bloomingdale (on the Upper West Side), Grand Central, and Inwood
- Staten Island – St. George Library Center
In addition to the teen programming, the grant will help NYPL formalize its college and career development programming and host 12 college and career fairs at various branches, which will feature representatives from CUNY and other colleges and universities, and offer career development support with workshops on resume writing, interview skills and business etiquette.
The New York Life Foundation's grant to the Queens Library's Youth Workforce Development Program will support its youth employees, who provide a range of support services, including homework help and academic tutoring to disadvantaged school-age children. Approximately 100 youth employees assist thousands of children each weekday at the library's after-school programs at its branch libraries; the Workforce Development program provides training courses on business etiquette, job interviewing and customer service, and youth employees receive on-the-job training and college preparation services throughout the year.
About The New York Life Foundation
Inspired by New York Life's tradition of service and humanity, the New York Life Foundation has, since its founding in 1979, provided more than $140 million in charitable contributions to national and local nonprofit organizations. Through its focus on "Nurturing the Children," the Foundation supports programs that benefit young people, particularly in the areas of safe places to learn and grow, educational enhancement opportunities and childhood bereavement. The Foundation also encourages and facilitates the community involvement of employees, agents, and retirees of New York Life through its Volunteers for Life program.

Wayward Intellectual Finds God
By Sam Tanenhaus
Published: January 24, 1999
On a wintry Saturday in December, Leon Wieseltier has come to Rock Creek Cemetery to visit the tomb of Henry Adams. It is his favorite spot in Washington -- ''my sanctuary in the city,'' he calls it in his new book, ''Kaddish,'' published last fall to critical acclaim and surprisingly brisk sales. ''I used to come here every two weeks or so,'' he says as we reach the enclosure. ''In snow and rain. It was like a room.''
At 46, Wieseltier is in his 16th year as the literary editor of The New Republic -- a Wunderkind turned near-elder statesman. Yet he still cuts the rakish figure of his youth, when he swept into Washington as an emissary from the world of high academia. He is well over 6 feet, with a slight stoop and a luxuriant mane, strikingly white, that can only be described as, well, leonine. Clad in his habitual dark jeans and cowboy boots and wearing a long black coat that he pulls tighter against the growing chill, he arranges himself on a bench of polished granite and studies the cowled figure Augustus Saint-Gaudens sculpted as a memorial to Marian (Clover) Adams, Henry's wife, who committed suicide in 1885.
He shows me a photo of the sculpture as it looked a few years ago, when its color had been degraded to a sickly green by a century of rough weather. It has since been restored to its original black. ''I called the National Park Service to see how they did it,'' he says. ''They polished it with crushed walnuts, then waxed it.'' It is difficult to tell from his smile what pleases him more, the arcane fact or the tactile image.
For Wieseltier, the tension between the scholarly and the sensual is not easily resolved. Until recently, majority opinion in the literary-cultural world -- the narrow, gossipy corridor that stretches from Boston to Washington, with tentative windings in the direction of London and Los Angeles -- held that not even the most rigorous polishing could restore the sheen to his tarnished image. In the 1980's, Wieseltier was one of Washington's glitterati, a member of the youthful cadre in whose hands The New Republic, the venerable liberal weekly, was reborn as the liveliest magazine of its day, a brainy, hip citadel of the new pragmatic
liberalism that eventually gave us, for better or worse, both Bill Clinton and Al Gore. Though less schooled in wonkery than his colleagues Michael Kinsley, Hendrik Hertzberg and Charles Krauthammer, Wieseltier outdid them all with ''Nuclear War, Nuclear Peace,'' which occupied a double issue of the magazine in 1983. Writing at a moment when the left was in thrall to the nuclear-freeze moment and Dr. Strangeloves in the Reagan Administration were toying with ''first strike'' scenarios, Wieseltier elegantly located a middle ground and was hailed, at age 30, as an important strategic thinker. More remarkably, the essay appeared mere weeks after his ''Matthew Arnold and the Cold War'' had surgically exposed the fallacies of cultural conservatism. In tandem, the two polemics signaled Wieseltier's emergence as perhaps the most versatile journalist of his generation.
But the summit of punditry was merely a staging point for further conquests. ''The city divides so easily into those who make it more interesting, and those who simply make it what it is,'' explains Christopher Buckley, a seasoned Wieseltier watcher. ''Leon makes it more interesting. He is a deliciously exotic white orchid rising out of the brown mulch of Washington.'' In the 80's a Manhattan hostess looking to spice up a dinner party with an intellectual had her choice of luminaries. In Washington, overstocked with buttoned-down policy nerds, there was Leon Wieseltier and . . . Leon Wieseltier, part Maimonides, part Oscar Wilde.
''The world invited me many places,'' an unapologetic Wieseltier says today. ''For a while I saw everybody.'' He became a fixture at A-list gatherings presided over by Katharine Graham; Susan Mary Alsop, widow of Joseph Alsop, the Brahmin columnist; Polly Kraft, the widow of the columnist Joseph Kraft; and one or two others who ruled the city's social arrangements and provided vivid links to the nation's patrician past. They were muses who ''had been around for very primal historical scenes,'' Wieseltier says. ''Susan Mary Alsop had tea with Edith Wharton when she was 16.'' Intoxicating company for one who had long coveted more than the routine rewards of the intellectual life.
The child of Holocaust survivors from Poland, Wieseltier grew up striving on a large scale. His father, Mark, had built up a furniture business and envisioned grander triumphs for his son. ''He didn't have a scholarly side,'' says Wieseltier, but ''he encouraged my scholarly side fanatically. He worked almost masochistically hard to furnish me with this education that I got,'' starting at a Brooklyn yeshiva at age 3. From there he went on to Columbia University and ''was very much the B.M.O.C.,'' recalls Jeff Seroy, who was a year behind him and is now the publicity director of Farrar, Straus & Giroux, the book publisher. Was Wieseltier brilliant? Unquestionably. But he was something else too. ''A gontser macher,'' says Seroy, using a Yiddish phrase that translates, roughly, as ''a real operator.''

Logrote is designed to ease administration of systems that generate large numbers of log files. It allows automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing of log files.
Quick reference card
|Cloud Servers
|Virtual Machines
|Native Installers
|Configuration file(s)
How to enable logrotate?
Recent versions of BitNami stacks ship logrotate configuration files for all servers. If you are using a Virtual Machine or Cloud Image, logrotate is already configured and enabled by default. Note the following is only valid for Linux platforms.
Check the logrotate files in the installdir/config folder. If you are using a Virtual Machine or a Cloud Image, installdir is the /opt/bitnami folder.
You can enable logrotate in your machine creating a symbolic link. For example, in Ubuntu:
$ sudo ln -s installdir/config/logrotate/bitnami.conf /etc/logrotate.d/bitnami.conf
How to check if logrotate is working properly?
It is possible to check your current configuration. The command below shows the current configuration for your servers:
$ sudo logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/bitnami.conf rotating pattern: /opt/bitnami/apache2/logs/*_log weekly (150 rotations) empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed considering log /opt/bitnami/apache2/logs/access_log log does not need rotating considering log /opt/bitnami/apache2/logs/error_log log does not need rotating
Also it is possible to run a logrotate test:
$ sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/bitnami.conf
Then check the server's log folders, you will find the compressed files with the logs:
access_log access_log-20130711.gz error_log error_log-20130711.gz
How to configure logrotate for each server?
Log rotate files for the different servers are in the installdir/config/logrotate/logrotate.d folder. By default, logrotate configuration uses the "copytruncate" approach so it is not necessary to restart the servers. For instance, Apache logrotate file:
installdir/opt/bitnami/apache2/logs/*_log { weekly rotate 150 dateext compress copytruncate missingok }
In this file you can change the log rotate configuration. You can check "man logrotate" to know all the options that you can configure.
IMPORTANT: The "copytruncate" approach truncates the original log file to zero size in place after creating a copy, instead of moving the old log file and optionally creating a new one. There is a very small time slice between copying the file and truncating it, so some logging data might be lost. If you want to record every request, you can use a different approach for rotating the logs.

The Ducks University chapter program began in 1985 at the University of Texas at Austin; since then, the number of active chapters in the United States has steadily increased. In 2015, 100 chapters from over 30 states were responsible for raising $1.5 million dollars in event income for wetland conservation. One new highlight of the Ducks University chapter program is "Third Term." Third term is an annual leadership summit held in August where college volunteers from across the country come to Ducks Unlimited National Headquarters to learn about conservation, leadership skills, and fundraising techniques.
Today, Ducks University chapters are playing an increasingly important role in Ducks Unlimited's conservation mission. DU recognizes that a vibrant and strong collegiate program is the key to a healthy future for wetlands conservation, and a strong emphasis will continue to be placed on the development of what has been a very successful program.
Ducks University volunteers get involved for a variety of reasons including:

Re: How to address a Shihan, Sempai, or Sensei?
Just a side note (because I haven't seen it mentioned):
Different Martial Disciplines veiw the above rule differently.
In Judo, there is only one Shihan (Kano, Sensei) but he is still not referd to as that title.
In certain family styles of Kenpo (Ga-san ryu and Fuji ryu for example) The head of the family style system, or ryu, is Shihan and they ARE refered to by that title, not sesnei. I specifically asked one of their seniors (he was Japanse) if this was proper and I was told it was for this case. It separates the level of teachers in their hiarchy.
By definition, I believe "Sensei" means one who has gone before you or "born before". The Japanese use this term for their Doctor, the man expertly cutting fish in the market, sushi chefs, school teachers, and just someone older than you.
Shihan means basically, an instructor or teacher who understands the system enough to duplicate other students to sensei level. Basically "Master Instructor."
I have heard it described to "gaijin" as "Sensei is like having a doctorate (like a professor at University) and Shihan would be head of the department (The head of the Science Dept.). Both are called Doctor".
Best rule of thumb: You can never bow too much and you can't go wrong by calling someone Sensei.

People are buying the chips, the dips, the wings and the facepaint as they get ready for the big game on Sunday, Super Bowl 50 to be played between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.
There have been many Irish NFL players who have taken to the Super Bowl gridiron over the years and made some indelible contributions to the game . Here is the Irish Central list of the 10 best Irish American football players of All-time in no particular order.
1. Tom Brady, Quarterback
2000-present New England Patriots
Thomas Edward Patrick "Tom" Brady is arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. He was originally drafted as the 199th pick in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft out of Michigan. He has taken the Patriots to four Super Bowls and has won three of them. Brady has been awarded the Super Bowl MVP twice. He has also been named Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year in 2005 and the Sporting News "Sportsman of the Year" in 2004 and 2007.
His records include most touchdown passes in a regular season (50); most completions in one Super Bowl (32); most consecutive pass attempts without an interception (339); most career completions in Super Bowl history (100); to name a few.
Brady has thrown for 34,744 yards, 261 touchdowns and has a 95.2% passing rating over his career.
2. George Connor, Tackle-Linebacker
1948-1955 Chicago Bears
Connor was originally drafted in the first round by the New York Giants in 1946. He was an incredibly versatile player. Over his career Connor was named to the All-NFL team for three different positions: Offensive tackle, defensive tackle and linebacker. At 6'3'' 230 pounds he was considered a prototype of the big, fast linebacker of today. Connor is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
3. Ed Healey, Tackle
1920 – 1922 Rock Island Independents
1922 - 1927 Chicago Bears
Healey has the distinction of being the first player whose contract was purchased in the NFL. His rights were acquired by the Chicago Bears for a whopping $100 by the legendary player-coach George Halas in 1922. Halas referred to Healey as the "most versatile tackle ever". Over his career "Big Ed" was named an all-league player five times. He was inducted in 1964 into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
4. Mike McCormack, Tackle
1951 New York Yanks
1954-1962 Cleveland Browns
McCormack was drafted by the New York Yanks in 1951. Starting as a rookie he played in 6 pro bowls at right tackle. After serving in the military McCormack was traded to the Cleveland Browns in 1953. He was a stabilizing force on the Browns defensive line. His career defining moment came in the 1954 title game when McCormack stole the ball from Detroit Lions quarterback Bobby Layne to set up a touchdown in the NFL Championship game.
In 1955 He switched to Offensive tackle where he helped the Browns win another title the following year. At that position he anchored the blocking for legendary Browns running back Jim Brown. McCormack is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
5. John (Blood) McNally, Halfback
1925-1926 Milwuakee Badgers
1926 -1927 Duluth Eskimos
1928 Pottsville Maroons
1929-1933, 1935-1936 Green Bay Packers
1934, 1937-1938 Pittsburgh Pirates
John McNally gave himself the name "Blood" to protect his senior year of eligibility at St. Johns College in Minnesota. It came from the movie "Blood and Sand". The quirky, off beat player, known as "Vagabond Halfback", was extremely versatile as he could pass, punt, run, and catch with the best of them. He was known for his blazing speed on offense. With 5 NFL teams McNally scored 49 TDs, and 297 points over his career.
He played on four championship teams with the Green Bay Packers in 1929, 1930, 1931, and 1936. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He is probably best known for his antics off the field. He reportedly one time walked on the top of a moving train and reached the Engineers car. McNally then proceeded to drop through the ceiling of the car and spend the remainder of the trip with the drivers.
George Clooney loosely portrayed John McNally in the movie "Leatherheads."
6. Jim Kelly, Quarterback
Houston Gamblers (1984-1985)
Buffalo Bills (1986-1996)

Petr Cech impressed Arsenal teammates with freestyle rap
Turns out that Petr Cech has a hidden talent -- as a freestyle rapper. The Arsenal goalkeeper has revealed that he impressed his new teammates last summer by making up a rap about them on the spot.
It was the former Chelsea man's way of getting through his initiation after making the switch to the Emirates, with the Arsenal dressing room having a long-standing tradition of making newcomers sing a song in front of the whole squad.
"I can't sing, so my idea was to avoid singing. So I kind of went into...

What's this? (Firefox reports this site as bad?)
I logged on as usual and this warning from Frefox (the browser I use) pops up declaring this site as containing "badware" or some such thing and that it could potentially harm my computer. Why did it do that?
Needless to say, I am a little confused. :?? I know that this site isn't chock full of malware, viruses, and trojans. Its always been one of my trusted sites. Why now, is there a problem?
I had the same issue. Reported Attack Site! Sheldon?
As far as I can tell it appears to be a false positive. It looks like Google's malware service is misinterpreting the javascript which handles the ads on the forum. Ironically, the code is hosted by Google's own code service. So umm, yeah. :mrgreen:
I am still investigating. No warning shows up for me on Firefox or Chrome and Google doesn't flag the site in their search results as being potentially dangerous.
I just got this is an attack sight too.
I got the warning. I emailed the Webmaster who responded promptly and graciously to ease my nonexistent fears. Thanks Sheldon, we know you're looking out for these things and I really appreciate it.
If there really were a problem, would it only be dangerous for Windows users?
ETA FF gave me the option of clicking that this isn't an attack site and so I did.
I replaced the ad serving code from the forum and put in a request for a "review" with google. So they should scan the site at some point in the future and remove the KH forum from the StopMalware blacklist. Hopefully that will happen soon and the warning prompts delivered by browsers which leverage StopMalware will cease.
Sometimes a site can get listed as unsafe and it's not due to being infectious. Spammers will sometimes find ways to setup phishing sites hidden among the website. So in these cases, you would get the browser warning of an unsafe website, but there actually nothing dangerous on the pages.
I don't think Mac's are entirely immune. Their popularity has made them a bit more of a target than they used to be. However, they tend to be secure and more up-to-date than windows. Case in point: we still get about 500 windows visitors each month using Internet Explorer 6. This is a browser from 2001! :?? It amazes me. The #1 browser visiting KH is Safari, the browser by apple, largely thanks to the iPad and iPhone toting knitters.
Anyhow, there's always something exciting going on at KH. :mrgreen:
My computer "wisdom" consists of: no system is invulnerable and when I have a problem it's almost always operator error. :mrgreen:
I've been asked if I can alter garments to fit people when I've never seen them in person even. Ugh.
I got the same thing for my Mac but on Safari, I had to go through of a few things before being able to get on here but I have noticed there are a lot of spammers who have hit this site so do becareful
Yeah, I've noticed a lot of spam lately. The mods do a remarkable job getting rid of it, but they simply can't be here every second of every day.

Facebook is the most popular social network in the world. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most widely criticized. From issues like online privacy and child safety, Facebook has its share of detractors.
Facebook has found itself to be the victim of Internet censorship in many different countries. If you live in or visit China, Iran, Syria or Vietnam, do not expect to be able to access the popular social networking site.
What is the Answer?
If you want to access your Facebook account from anywhere in the world, or if you want to create a Facebook account in a country that has placed a ban on the site, you need a virtual private network (VPN).
A VPN promises you:
- Privacy – when you use a VPN, you connect to the Internet via a "tunnel" between your computer and a server in another part of the world. You can cover your tracks with no effort simply by using this type of software.
- Security – because you connect to the Internet through your own private tunnel, snoops and hackers are rendered unable to see you or your activity. You can be sure that your emails, activities and transactions are completely hidden from view.
- Freedom – a VPN allows you a type of freedom that you have not yet experienced. You can bypass firewalls and overcome restrictions simply by connecting to the Internet with your VPN.
How to Use a VPN
1. The first step in using a VPN is choosing a provider. If your goal is to access Facebook, you want to select a service provider with servers in countries that do not block the social networking site. If you are in China, for example, you want to choose a VPN with servers in the US or UK.
2. Once you have determined which service provider is right for you, pay the subscription fee and download the software.
3. The last step in using your VPN is in installing the software. Once it is in place, you will automatically connect to the Internet through your new VPN.
The Best VPNs for Unblocking Facebook
1. HideMyAss
HMA utilizes PPTP, L2TP, IPSec and OpenVPN protocols. The company has servers in more than 40 countries, and the subscription fee begins at $11.52 per month.
2. VyprVPN
VyprVPN utilizes PPTP, L2TP, IPSec and OpenVPN protocols. The company has servers in more than a dozen countries, and the subscription fee starts at $14.99 per month.
3. ExpressVPN
ExpressVPN utilizes PPTP and OpenVPN protocols. The company has servers in more than 10 countries, and the subscription fee starts at $12.95 per month.Try HideMyAss with 30 Day Money Back Guarantee

So I read a very cute article on BNet about branding, and one of their suggestions was this name generator tool.
It's pretty funny, but I if you have an idea for a great business and just no idea what to call it, this could give you some inspiration. Besides, it's fun! Maybe I'll rename On Target to Yakimia…..or maybe not. Oh, and since you KNOW you're going to have a website, find out if it's available (whois.com) and try to keep it short.
While you're at it, why not create a random mission statement, just for fun. Oh, and need a little meaningless text for marketing? Can't go wrong here.
Still not getting anywhere? Call me at 830.822.6589 and we can do a little brainstorming. It's amazing how well that works despite how cliche it sounds!

Introduction, Design
I often think of ASUS as the PC's answer to Apple. Their products are not up to Apple's rigorous engineering, nor is the customer service as accessible, but ASUS does offer a number of products that were obviously designed to meet a set of high standards. I've always enjoyed the company's G-Series gaming laptops, ultraportables like the U33 Bamboo and high-end multimedia laptops like the N53 and N56.
The original Zenbook didn't impress me, however. PC Perspective never reviewed it, but I did have some hands-on time with one courtesy of Intel's CES 2012 ultrabook giveaway. The build quality wasn't great, the touchpad was quite poor and the overall look and feel proved a bit tacky (the cursive lettering below the display panel being the most obvious example).
ASUS has now followed up the original Zenbook with the new Zenbook Prime. There are a couple of different variants. We received the 13-inch UX31A which come equipped with the 1080p IPS display panel. As for the rest? Well, see below.
This is one well equipped ultrabook, which explains why it comes with a nearly $1500 price tag. You don't have to spend that much, however. The basic Zenbook Prime, which still has the IPS display but downgrades to a Core i5, is $999 on Amazon.
Does the flagship of ASUS design deliver the goods? Let's find out.

Lenovo has become an important player in the mainstream laptop market. Five years ago the offerings from Lenovo were not great, but today the IdeaPad line has matured. This has been reflected in Lenovo's growth. The company has posted gains in global market share over the last few years.
In this review we're looking at the Z580, a laptop that's smack dab in the middle of the company's IdeaPad brand. It's a 15.6" laptop that starts at $469 but can be optioned to around $900. Our review unit is a well configured version which includes an Intel Core i5-3210M processor. Lenovo's website prices it out at a cool $599.
What else will six Benjamin Franklins buy you? Let's take a look.
The $600 price point is important. Studies of the laptop market have consistently shown that the average price of a new laptop hovers around $600 (much to the dismay of manufacturers, who'd rather people spent more).
This market is extremely completive as a result. If you want a portable laptop with an IPS display you don't have many options, but consumers who want a powerful and competent laptop for $600 have a buffet to choose from. Can the Z580 make room for itself in this crowd?

Synaptics Announces New TouchPads And Keyboards
Subject: Mobile | August 22, 2012 - 12:51 AM | Matt Smith
Tagged: touchpad, synaptics, notebook, laptop, keyboard
The march towards thinner laptops has challenged computer manufacturers in a number of ways. When designing a laptop that's just three-quarters of an inch thin or thinner, everything matters. Even the size of thickness of a keyboard or touchpad makes a big difference.
Synaptics is responding to these design realities with the introduction of new user interfaces. One is the ForcePad, a new type of touchpad that is capable of measuring the precise amount of force the user inputs. This makes it possible to drop physical left/right mouse buttons entirely, reducing maximum thickness from 5mm to 3mm. It also provides additional input which can be harnessed by software for precise control.
The company is also introducing a new keyboard design called ThinTouch. This keyboard redesigns (or rather, eliminates) the keyboard switch to reduce overall thickness by 30 to 50 percent without sacrificing an optional backlight. The keyboard is also force sensitive, which means that users can activate alternate characters by pressing harder instead of using the Shift key.
Both new technologies are interesting, though also potentially problematic. Of concern is the lack of key travel in the ThinTouch design, which is evident in the picture above. There's little movement in the key, which makes me wonder what typing on this keyboard is like. I'd wager it's not the best experience. I find it very odd that a company responsible for designing user interface elements for a laptop would seek to reduce one of the laptop's most noticeable advantages over a tablet – a tactile keyboard.
With that said, I'm sure these devices will make their way to ultrabooks in short order. Reducing the size of the keyboard and touchpad will allow for a larger battery and/or better cooling. The battery life increase will be of particular use to OEMs, who see battery life as a nice, easy figure that can be used in marketing materials. A better battery can be explained with a handful of words. Explaining a better keyboard takes more time.
No release dates or launch products have been detailed yet. We'll probably hear more at CES 2013.

Looking longingly at a Linux Laptop?
Subject: General Tech | July 12, 2012 - 02:40 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: linux, laptop, Chromebook, asus, EeePC 1225C, sputnik
If you are less than impressed by Windows 8 or are looking to avoid the costs incurred by a Windows installation on the laptop then Linux.com has four systems you should consider. First up are the Chromebook models available at stores like Best Buy, like the Samsung 12.1-inch Series 5 Chromebook. If the ChromeOS isn't to your liking then perhaps the Asus EeePC 1225C which comes with Ubuntu installed on it. It is not yet widely available but should make it to North America in the not too distant future. Dell is also getting into this market with their Project Sputnik which Tim covered a few weeks ago. Finally are what are referred to as Diminutive Desktops which cover devices like the Raspberry Pi, VIA's APC and a number of other models. You might have more choices when it comes to Linux powered retail PCs than you think.
"Windows may still be the default operating system on the vast majority of mainstream PCs thanks to Microsoft's many longstanding OEM partnerships, but that's not to say it hasn't been possible for some time to buy desktop machines with Linux preloaded.
No, indeed! Thanks to vendors such as System76, ZaReason, EmperorLinux and others, Linux fans have long been able to get desktops, laptops, netbooks and more preloaded with a variety of Linux distributions -- and that's not even counting several on-again, off-again efforts by Dell, Wal-Mart and others to sell Linux boxes on their retail shelves."

Introduction and Design
Introduction and Design
In the wilds of the laptop market, nestled between the hordes of 15.6" mainstream laptops and the slim ultraportables, there is an odd breed. The 14" multimedia laptop. Even describing them as such is limiting because each model seems to offer its own take on the concept. Some are nearly as thin and light as laptops with much smaller displays while others are bulky powerhouses hidden behind a façade of portability.
Lenovo has long been a proponent of the 14-incher in actions if not words. IdeaPads of this size have also been common, usually gracing Lenovo's website as a smaller alternative to a 15.6" laptop with a similar model name.
As a result, absolutely no one was shocked when Lenovo announced the IdeaPad Y480. It's exactly the kind of product most consumers end up buying and exactly the kind of product tech journalists don't care to talk about.
So what's powering this new mid-size laptop? Let's have a look.
Introduction, Driver Interface
There exist a particular group of gamers that are consumed by dreams of gigantic dual-SLI laptops that replace towering desktops. And who can blame them? Walking into a LAN party with a $5,000 laptop under your arm is the geek equivalent of entering a party wearing a $2,500 jacket or driving through your neighborhood in a $250,000 car. We can dream, right?
On the other hand, those super-powerful laptops are a bit...boring from a critic's standpoint. Why? Because they are almost always excellent machines (due to price) and because most readers gandering at a review (of an expensive gaming laptop) I pen about will never buy one – again, due to the price.
Most folks – even many geeks – lust over a beefy gaming rig, but end up buying a $600 to $1000 multimedia laptop. This is the laptop that the average person can actually afford, regardless of his or her enthusiasm about computer hardware.
In the past, this market segment was a gaming wasteland, but that began to change about five years ago. The change was due in part to the fact that many game developers started to veer away from (a focus on) jaw-dropping graphics in favor of expanding their potential markets by going after clients with average/medium-range hardware.
About two and a half years ago Intel (again) committed to raising the bar on integrated graphics with the release of Intel HD and has since consistently improved its IGP offering with each new generation. AMD has done the same with its Fusion products and NVIDIA (already in the game with its numerous x10/x20/x30M products) just recommitted to power efficient GPUs with its Kepler architecture.
These changes mean that "serious" gaming is now possible on an inexpensive laptop. But how possible? What sacrifices do you make and how do low-end IGPs and GPUs stack up against each other?
Continue reading our comparison of current generation notebook graphics options!!
Introduction, Design, User Interface
This summer is shaping up to be an amazing time to buy a gaming laptop. Intel has launched its Ivy Bridge processors, bringing faster performance to the entire range without increasing power consumption. Nvidia's new Kepler based parts, although technically launched a couple months ago, are only now widely available.
We've already looked at many low-end solutions including Trinity, HD 4000 and the Kepler-based Nvidia GT 640M. We've also looked at one high-end gaming solution in the form of the ASUS G75V.
Today we're reviewing the Origin EON17-S, an obvious competitor to the G75V. It's packing an Nvidia GTX 675M. An Intel Core i7-3920XM joins the party as well. Clearly, this laptop is meant to provide maximum performance - as the other specifications make clear.
Though it has gobs of high-performance hardware our review unit did not arrive with an internal optical drive (it did come with an external Blu-Ray). The drive had been removed and a 1TB hard drive installed in its place. This is a clever bit of packaging that makes a lot of sense and isn't offered by Alienware, Maingear or ASUS. While I know some gamers do still use optical drives, I personally can't remember the last time one was required for install.
Our review unit tallies up at about $3500 bucks, which is expensive but not outrageous. Spending much more is difficult and requires that you either pony up for every frivolous option available or buy Nvidia Quadro graphics cards instead of the consumer-market GTX. Or you can put the price in reverse by downgrading to a Core i7-3610QM, which saves you over $1000.

I have always preferred rice over rotis, and always tend to make a little extra just so I have leftovers for the next day. I like it when I take a peek into my fridge and find a box of leftover plain rice. It drives my imagination wild, since there is so much you can create out of plain boiled rice.
I have tried so many rice dishes over time but fried rice has always been a favourite. There is so much you can do to alter the taste and so many ways you can use to make a big bowl of fried rice. I often use whatever veggies or meats i have at hand, throw in a variety of flavours, and I have a great wholesome meal ready to be served.
This is another easy breezy recipe that hardly takes anytime at all and can be put together in minutes. I can't even remember how many times I've cooked this up at the end of a long tiring day. And it never fails to please me!
Vegetable Fried Rice
- 2 cups cooked plain rice
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, beans, celery, cabbage…go wild! Frozen
- vegetables would also be a great option)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp soya sauce
- 1 chicken buillion cube (substitute with vegetable buillion cube for a vegetarian version)
- 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1/4 tsp red chili powder
- 1/4 tsp crushed black pepper
- salt, to taste
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- chopped spring onion for garnish
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan and fry onions till transparent. Add vegetables, bullion cube, salt, pepper and chili powder and fry till all the water from the vegetables evaporate.
- Add rice and mix well. Splash soya sauce and stir-fry rice till everything is mixed well.
- Garnish with spring onions and serve warm.
A great side to spicy Pepper Chicken!

Now comes the esteemed Escher, magnificicent in his bulletin board postings, venerably represented pro per.
And pursuant to the rules and dignity of all present, humbly submits the following to the monitors of the CLBB:
Whereas, The v-word, aka v@gina, is currently censored unjustly.
Let the following facts be told to a candid world:
The v-word is in common usage.
The v-word is a medical term.
The v-word is not derogatory.
The v-word plays an important role in the lives of women (who make up the majority of the world and the super majority of this forum).
There is not a good substitute for the v-word.
The equivalent male word is not censored.
Furthermore, it is a commonly held belief that censorship should be used lightly and sparingly, if at all.
Therefore, I pray for the following relief, that the v-word be removed from the list of banned words, and restored to it's rightful place in the CLBB approved lexicon.
We, therefore, the enlightened members of this fine community, appeal to the moderators of our virtual land, and declare our support for the freeing of our esteemed word. And, for the support of this appeal, with a firm reliance on divine protection, we pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honour.

Ai Weiwei: The Fake Case
Directed by: Andreas Johnsen
Friday, May 16 - Thursday, June 5, 2014
After 81 days of solitary detention world famous Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is put under house arrest. He suffers from sleeping disorder and memory loss, 18 cameras are monitoring his studio and home, police agents follow his every move, and heavy restrictions from the Kafkaesque Chinese authorities weigh him down. Journalists, the art world and his family all want a piece of him and on top of that he is hit with a gigantic lawsuit from the Chinese government, which he soon names 'The Fake Case'. Ai Weiwei is shaken, but during the year on probation he steadily finds new ways to provoke and challenge the mighty powers of the Chinese authorities in his fight for human rights. Ai Weiwei strongly believes that China is ready for change. And he will do everything to make it happen.NR, In English and Mandarin with English subtitles Minutes


text: BANGALORE/NEW DELHI: As India plays catch-up with its bigger Asian neighbour China, Mandarin has emerged as a popular course at some of the IIMs. One of them, IIM Bangalore (IIMB), says Indian students cannot afford to be left behind as the two countries compete in every sphere of economic activity. "Realisation has dawned that our future business lies with China and we cannot be left behind if we have to make a mark on the world economic stage," said professor S Swaminathan who teaches Business Chinese — Language Course at IIM-B.

I had a reader send me an email today…
Since you grew up with more cold than I can imagine, I would be calm and a very happy and loyal reader if you offered me something more than just organizing today–some reassurance that there are organized ways to approach this cold…and time spent this afternoon getting ready would reap huge benefits tomorrow. 🙂 A post that links to advice about your car, staying warm, dealing with your pipes might be nice.
So.. Tuesday morning, I will post the next post in the 40 Weeks 1 Whole House Challenge, and I am posting this one early on Sunday night.
Last week when I shared about how to get ready for a snow day, I mentioned growing up in the Akron/ Cleveland, Ohio area, which is definitely colder than Cincinnati, but not THAT cold. However, I do have some WARM ideas.
I HATE cold. I am sitting in a house that is 70 degrees, but I'm still sitting next to a space heater. I like HOT. So, I have been thinking about what to do about all the frigid cold that is on its way.
#1 Start with a warm house.
I posted a link on my Facebook Page yesterday about how to prepare your pipes for the arctic cold. I am a little nervous because our master bath shower pipes are in our unheated garage. They freeze every year at least once.
In that same article, it said to raise the heat in your house BEFORE the cold comes so that you start out warmer. Your heater will not be able to keep up if you push up the heat later, and your house will get colder.
#2 Add heat to the house.
Seriously, I like heat, so I know how to heat up a house. Since this cold snap is supposed to last 48 hours, you might want to spread these idea out to the second day.
If you need to clean your oven – now is a great time. It will add heat to the house and you will be home for safety.
Now is a great time to do laundry and run the dryer – again, adding heat.
Use space heaters in small spaces to heat up a small room. Don't waste the heat in a large great room.
Electric blankets will keep you warm and toasty, too!
#3 Snuggle.
Many of you will double up on the blankets on your bed and the couch, but I am breaking out the sleeping bags. Sleeping bags are warmer, don't have openings for the cold air to get in and keep your feet warm.
I will also have the kids sleep in sleeping bags in their beds the next 2 nights.
#4 Clean and organize.
OK, you know this is my number 1, but really, when you start to get cold, go vacuum a few rooms or carry piles up and down the stairs. Moderate exercise will get your body warm – but not break a sweat.
#5 Block cold air.
A few years ago, I nailed blankets over the windows. I can't remember why. I don't think I will this year, but I might. You will save a lot of money if you nail up blankets over your windows the next few days.
If at all possible, do not open the doors to the outside. Keep your garage door down. Use towels to block drafty doors.
#6 Do NOT build a wood fire in a regular fireplace.
Fires are beautiful and may be warm when you are sitting right in front of them, but they pull the heat out of the rest of your home and send it up the chimney.
If you have a wood burning stove, those DO provide heat. Also, a gas fireplace will heat up the home, but you'll see it in your gas bill!
#7 Eat and drink warm and hot foods.
Soup, hot chocolate, a warm grilled cheese will all make you feel warmer.
#8 Charge everything NOW.
Charge your phones, portable DVD player, computer, iPad, etc. If we lose power, I am good for a few hours, but I do plan on going to a hotel if the outage is long or we lose heat. Sorry, I am not hearty!
Think through your plan. Can you make it in one room with a space heater if your heater goes out? Do you have food that you can eat without electricity?
#9 IF you HAVE to go out…
Have a bag packed in case you had an accident. The number of your insurance company…a fully charged cell phone with you at all times…a blanket at least. Here's a link to a good article about weather safety.
Do not to rely on your car charger–to charge your phone. Leave with it charged so you can call if you get stuck. I'd also really recommend not using back roads tomorrow. If I get stuck, I want it to be somewhere people can see me and I can get help quickly.
DO NOT sit in your car in the garage!! If you must sit in a running car – back it out into the driveway.
#10 Have fun.
These temperatures will break 100 year old records. Your kids will likely remember this week. Make a memory.
My hubby has been retelling everyone the story of how he was at the Freezer Bowl in 1986. Did you know you could take Bunsen burners into the stadium then?!?

Exercise # 5 Instinctive Mixing
When you are instinctive mixing it helps to imagine the direction that you want to move the color. Once you know the direction, you can find the path. The "path" is the imaginary line that runs between the color you have and the color that you want. If you extend this line across the color sorter, any color along that line can be used to move the color to where you want it to be. … more→

Exercise #3 Playing with Saturation: Pivot Tiles
The concept of saturation is a tough one. The terms tinting and shading usually have to do with changing the value of a color but they also have to do with changing the saturation. Tinting is mixing a color with white, shading is mixing a color with black (or mud, or the complement.) The term "tone" is used when a color … more→
