Shopping for an encrypted filesystem
If you're not a security expert and you're looking for a crypto filesystem, you may be wondering about the alternatives. We took at a look at some popular crypto options for Linux.
Crypto filesystems keep your data safe – even if someone steals your computer. The recent popularity of portable PCs has brought increased awareness about the need for protection, but even users with desktop systems have reasons for wanting to ensure that their data stays secret. Linux offers a number of encrypted filesystem options – each with a different approach to the encryption problem. We took a look at some of the alternatives, with the goal of providing some insights on encryption techniques, code quality, and the relative merits of the various solutions. We examined the following encrypted filesystems: • Loop-AES • DM-Crypt • Truecrypt • Crypto-FS • Enc-FS In addition to looking at technologies and techniques, we will also examined some performance parameters for these encryption options.

Lawsuit: Race-based request sidelined Michigan nurse - CNN.com
The man approached Battle, while she was caring for his child in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit, asking to speak to her supervisor, according to the complaint filed in January by Battle's attorney.
She pointed the charge nurse in his direction.
The man, who is not named in the filing, allegedly showed her a tattoo that may have been "a swastika of some kind" and told her that he didn't want African-Americans involved in his baby's care.
The request, according to the lawsuit, made its way through management ranks, and was granted. Battle's manager called her at home to tell her she would be reassigned -- and why, the suit says.
What do you think? Is it a request that should be honored? Does she have a case?

I thought this would be a great question. Seriously, where do they go? Hill tops to bed under trees and avoid flooding? Or do they stay low?
How about before it rains? I heard they get busy just before the rain comes. Is that true?

They stand out in the open when it rains to keep the bugs off.
Out in the open. They are in plain sight and easy pickings most the time. Get to a good vantage point and hunker down and start glassing!
The legal bucks go in bed of pickups when it rain.......
This question just put an image of deer herds with umbrellas in my head.
I am guessing that they do similar to bears, they bed under trees or overhanging rocks if they feel like it, and sometimes they just walk about in the rain and continue to munch whatever they can find, with no significant change in their habits other than seasonal changes.
I could be wrong because I am no animal behavior expert, but there might be more of change in behaviors due to season or time of year, rather than it just raining to affect their behaviors.

wonder if they feel safe in the rain since the cats hate water?
Unless the rut is on, for the most part they go to the same places as when it's hot as blazes out. If it's rainy AND windy, expect them to be bedded on leeward slopes. They don't like being "out" in the rain any more than we do. Once the weather breaks though, be ready to catch them up and feeding/stretching their legs any time of the day. In areas where a life depends on a heavy layer of fat for the winter, they are more prone to getting caught feeding during a storm if the cold season is around the corner as an early storm can act as a wake-up call.

I couldn't resist the quotes. The last three deer I've taken (2011 - D9, 2010 - Utah, 2009 - Colorado) have all been shot in the rain. A nice steady rain (no wind) seemed to bring them out of hiding and made for very silent stalking. Wool and/or polar fleece clothing keep me warm and out in the woods when other hunters headed for camp. I love it when it rains.
"We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." George Orwell, English novelist
When it starts raining the deer go into the brush or under trees where they can stay dry. Once it has rained enough to get those dry places wet they will come out and stand in the open and shake occasionally. A real magic time is when the rain stops and the sun comes out as they will come out and stand in the sun, just like we would if we were wet.
Rain is just one factor, depending on the air temps when it's raining & how long it's been raining. The animals behave differently, it's never really the same. But from my experience, alot of the big boys are just not going to be strolling around when it's pouring cold. If you do see a giant, most likely he's gonna be running or trotting. Most of the time, they're gonna sit out the storm especially if it's a long one. If they do get up to feed, it's gonna be a quick snack & really close to where they're bedding. Besides other factors like the rut, I would say those big boys are gonna be hunker down most of the time especially when it's pouring.
I have never had success while it's been raining. Actually see very few animals in my experience. However, immediately after the rain stops quite a few times, it's been like someone turned on a light switch and deer everywhere. I'm not talking later on in the day or the next day...I'm talking about within 15-30 minutes immediately following rain.

I went out today again for another late afternoon rabbit hunt, but in a different part of D11.
No bunnies, too much thunder and the threat of an oncoming rainstorm to their liking, so they stayed in their holes most of the afternoon, but just as I was moving further up a canyon, I came upon a young doe in an almost open area.
This one kind of small and fairly young.
The clouds were dark and thundering when this happened so there was a definite shower coming in at some point in the afternoon.
I just stood still frozen with my bow holding an already nocked small game blunt-headed arrow clipped to the string and pointed at the ground, looked at her and our eyes met; she was not sure what I was, but when the wind spiraled in the canyon between us, she had it confirmed I was probably something to get away from and she stottered off up a hillside.
Now I am pretty sure this doe knew the rains were coming in, but it did not keep her from grazing the area for alot of the plants that they like.

From what I've seen over the years, rain doesn't really bother them much unless it's a downpour. In a heavy rain, they tend to head for thick cover for awhile. As BSA mentioned, WIND does affect them. In a strong wind they will hunker down. I believe the wind affects their ability to hear well and makes them nervous, since their hearing is one of their best defenses.

not to sure about rain haven't noticed much different behavior but what I saw this year is when it's windy they came down off the ridges to quieter areas.

I am having the same problem after upgrading to WordPress 3.3.1.
There are no editing icon available in the visual mode, so I cannot edit both pages & posts in visual mode. I can edit post & pages using the HTML code. The HTML code is also appearing in the visual edit mode.
You can see it when you highlight the text.See attached The password testpage123.
The HTML editor is working ok and the page displays correctly in the browser.
I have tested to ensure that it is not theme related by temporarily switching to the default WordPress theme and clearing the cache. However this does not fix the problem.
I have also tested plugins by deactivating and reactivating them individually. However, this does not solve the problem.
My conclusion is that there is a bug in WordPress 3.3.1 base code.
Could you please investigate and advise

Share your memories of Indiana football coach Terry Hoeppner with other Hoosiers.
How would Hep want to be remembered?
Read more in Football
Ways to remember Hep:
Name the addition after him, or erect a bronze statue of him touching the Rock, or name the rock after him.
I'll always remembered the passion. He truley believed we could win.
All I can say is that I'm gonna miss Coach Hep. Coach Hep got me and he did GREAT things for IU while he was here. RIP Coach.
He was a truly great man. His impact on our lives and our football program will not soon be forgotten.
I like the statue idea. We need to make it happen!
There is so much to say about Coach Hep. My best memory I will have of him is my 7 year old son telling him he wants to grow up and play football at IU, and that he will be the best linebacker Coach Hep has ever seen. This was on National signing day. Coach Hep took us back to his office, gave him an autographed picture, and had him sign a fake "LOI" to play for him.
Memorial Stadium needs to be renamed for Coach Hep.
I also love the statue idea. Let's go IU alumni –we can make it happen!
Show Hep that his effort and enthusiasm was appreciated by showing up. While a memorial is fitting, it isn't action enough. Did Hep get you? Did he give you hope? Did he walk the talk? He wanted people to share his passion about football at IU and the kids who play football. He did what he did to build support for IU, not himself. All of his actions were about others, and to respect that, we need to match his enthusiasm, passion and character. Show up! Be a fan for football. And, inspire people by showing your enthusiasm for life . . .
As a fellow cancer battler I identify with Coach Hep. He always said, "Never quit!"
Coach Hep, you ran life's race strong to the finish! That's exactly what I am striving to do. Thanks for your inspiration and example to your family, team and the community. Rest in peace. I'm glad you don't have to suffer anymore. But I'm sad you won't be with your family, friends and team. Now you're in Heaven with Jesus, by God's grace. And by God's grace, I'll look forward to meeting you there.
My prayers are with Mrs. Hep and the family, as well as the IU football family. This is a sad day, but we can all be thankful for the passion Coach Hep had for life. And we can be grateful for the enthusiasm he brought back to IU Football.
G. R. Dolby
JD – I agree with you. I have made many post since Friday to rally the IU faithful. To get out of the grass lots, to get into Memorial Stadium, and to "Rock the Rock".
Saturday September 1st is the first game of the season, it is at home, against Indiana State. Think what it would mean to Coach Hep's family, the IU Football staff, and the players to walk out of the locker rooms and see Cream and Crimson packed from the 1st row to the the top of the stadium. A sell out crowd to honor Coach Hep, and to start this team on it's quest to win 13!
Coach Hep should be remembered by continuing the Saturday traditions he started here at IU… The Rock has so much more meaning now, and The Walk will never be the same.
Coach Hep got me, my friends and my family. We all feel the best way to remember him is to continue supporting IU football and the program he so obviously cared about.
Naming something after him is good too.
I didn't know Coach Hep personally and was only fortunate to speak with him once at a football camp. However, the life he brought back to IU football goes without question. More importantly, the way he seemed to love life each time I saw him. Whether he was coahing on the field or leaving the game field with his wife after a game, he always struck me as a man who had made life into what he wanted it to be. Thank you Coach for setting the example.
IU's biggest problem has been fan support. Coach Hep reached out to the entire Hoosier Nation and began to develop the fan base that has been missing in Memorial Stadium for years… I can only hope that with his passing, his efforts will not be forgotten. Support the kids on the field as Coach did, they will need it now more than ever. I envisioned Hep at IU for a long time.. One day lifting the Rose Bowl trophy over his head.. I am truly saddended by his passing and I didn't even know the man. That says it all….
We need to get that statue built in honor of Coach Hep. He deserves it. Also, I agree with all of you in that we need to pack the Rock this year. I love IU football and I'll definitely be there.
Even up here in Chicago, Hep got the Alumni base fired up and much more active during the fall, something Cameron or Dinardo never did. On the field, he made the team a legit contender against Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State, and Purdue. If he would have had 5 more season, a win against a big like Ohio State or Michigan was more than possible. His death is a great loss to the Indiana Program, but pales in comparison to the immense impact he had and it will be interesting to see the depth of this impact now that he's gone.
I was so sorry to hear about Coach Hoeppner's passing. He was loved by not only his players, but IU Students and fans as well. You could see how much he loved IU and how motivated he was to bring a winning program to Bloomington. He even took the time to write my son a personal email after my son had written him.
My son is a PE Major at IU with a Coaching Minor. I can't think of a better coach for him to emulate than Coach Hep.
I feel sick at my stomach after reading this terrible news. The Hoosier Nation truly lost one of its best today. The enthusiasm and spark he provided Bloomington and the rest of Indiana about football…yes football, was priceless. Never did I care much about IU football until I arrived in Bloomington for freshmen orientation in the summer of 05 (the year Hep was hired), to signs of "Coach Hep wants you!" and other messages across campus. From that day forward, I felt obliged and honored to sign up for IU football season tickets then, last year, and this upcoming year. I hope all of us Hoosiers can rally after this terrible loss….rally to pack the Rock, to support this program that Coach Hep has rebuilt, and most importantly, rally to honor Coach Hep and the legacy that will last forever.
Name the rock for him in huge letters as an inspiration for
everyone who sees it.
Hep was a Giant. We need more like him in sports today. He will be missed.
Rename Memorial Stadium in his honor.
I came back to IU after 30 years and one of my fondest memories was IU Football. I did not know Coach Hep, but he brought back that spirit I felt so long ago. His passing is a great loss to many. I hope the tradition and enthusiasm he started here at IU carries on. I know I will be in the stands this fall, while Coach is up in heaven, shining down on on the team he was so proud of. We'll miss you Coach!
Indiana University's Hoeppner Stadium sounds good. Just a way to pay tribute to a great man.
I worked at Miami (Ohio) as a media relations intern in the 2001-02 season (Roethlisberger's freshman year). One of my duties was to meet with Terry every week and find out what was going on with the team, for the weekly football release we put out. The week after the team's fall scrimmage, I visited with him and asked what had happened in the game. He replied that I should know what happened in the game, that I should have been there, that if I wanted to be good at my job, then that's the type of thing I needed to do, and hustled me out of his office. It was later explained to him that football wasn't the only sport with which I worked (he didn't know that at the time), and that, at the time of the scrimmage, I was at a cross country meet we were hosting. I traveled with the football team throughout the season and helped out in several areas, and apparently he took notice. For our second-to-last game, we played at Hawaii, and Coach Hep was kind enough to open up a spot in the travel party for me as a reward for the work I'd done for him and his team. Those ended up being five of the best days of my life, and I owe it all to Coach Hep. He was a tough sun of a gun, and he expected a lot out of the people who worked alongside him and the players whom he led onto the field on those autumn Saturdays, but if you lived up to his expectations, you were duly rewarded.
I'll never forget the kind gesture he made to a "lowly†intern, and I'll never forget how great a man Terry Hoeppner was.
Renaming Indiana University's stadium –Hoeppner Stadium–is the least IU can do to thank Coach Hep for turning around the football program and the hopes of all IU fans young and old. He will always be rememebered as a man of courage and big dreams.
As a alumna and Hoosier who supported IU football through the not-so-great 🙂 years, it was so wonderful when Coach Hep came to IU to head up the program. Not only was he a great coach who gave the players faith in their abilities, but he really did get the Hoosier Nation interested in football. I was so excited because I honestly could see the day in the near future when we *would* beat the big two – U of M and OSU. But Hep was much more than just a great coach turning a medicore football team into one that turned heads. He embodied everything I associate with IU, especially the Hoosier pride that I feel everytime I see anything regarding my great school. Hoosier fans have always impressed me – we're ones to focus on the good our team is doing rather than "booing" the other team as so many other schools' fans seem to do. I think the Hoosier Nation needs to come out in force…support our boys on the field…and bring home that Rose Bowl trophy for Coach Hep. Continue his dream, his prides, and his love of IU.
Coach Hep…you are terribly missed!
My dad has passed away on June 17th 2006 (Father's Day) from brain tumor.
He was 59 years old (Same as coach Hep).
So last year when I heard about coach Hep, I really really hoped he would heal and overcome the cancer.
I am in deep sadness now. We really need to find a cure to this terrible disease.
Probably he is now with my dad in a better place where he won't feel the pain and suffering anymore.
Rest In Peace, COACH.

What Is Acid Washing?
This process of acid washing your pool strips away a small amount of the plaster wall to expose a fresh surface that algae won't adhere to. Another benefit of the acid wash is a whiter, brighter look. It can also remove small stains or mineral deposits.
If you seem to have problems with algae blooms each year (which can happen easily in spring and summer in Las Vegas), or if you haven't had your pool drained for 3 years or more, an acid wash is a great service to consider.

Brendan Schaub is set to take on grizzled MMA vet Ben Rothwell at UFC 145 this Saturday. "The Hybrid" is looking to rebound from a knockout loss to mild-hitting Minotauro Nogueira last August.
Schaub will enter the heavyweight bout as a decisive favorite, but questions about his legitimacy will follow him into the Octagon this weekend. And his performance will go a long way in either rehabilitating his image or condemning him to gatekeeper status.

SALINAS - A second emaciated German shepherd was found at the home of a former Watsonville police officer facing animal neglect charges in Monterey County.
Luke, a 14-year-old dog suffering from multiple medical problems and lack of care, had to be euthanized, according to Sgt. Stacy Sanders of the SPCA for Monterey County.
Francisco Ibarra, who was fired from his job with the Watsonville Police Department in May 2010, surrendered Luke to authorities in September 2011 during an investigation into possible neglect, Sanders said.
Officials seized a starved Ingo, Ibarra's K-9 partner on the Watsonville force, in March. Ingo, who weighed 55 pounds - about 25 pounds fewer than a healthy 5-year-old shepherd - was nursed back to health and is in foster care pending the resolution of two misdemeanor charges of animal neglect.
The charges, related to both dogs, were filed against Ibarra in March, but authorities did not release information about Luke until Thursday.
The penalty, if Ibarra is convicted, is six months in County Jail and a $1,000 fine.
Ibarra, who could not be reached to comment Thursday, has pleaded not guilty and previously said he wants Ingo back.
Sanders said Luke's medical problems, including hip dysplasia, had gone untreated. She said Ibarra told authorities he was not working and could not afford to take Luke to the veterinarian.
Ibarra was allowed to retain Ingo at that time because he was being kept in a backyard kennel in what were considered "acceptable living conditions," Sanders said.
In March, animal control officers returned to check on Ingo after they received an anonymous tip. After discovering the former police dog's condition had deteriorated, Ingo was taken into protective custody. Unlike Luke, however, Ingo did not have medical problems beyond being severely underweight.
Sanders said Luke was euthanized as the only "humane option."
"He had so many medical problems there was no way to alleviate any suffering," Sanders said.
According to Watsonville officials, Ibarra was terminated after 15 years on the police force after multiple incidents, including one of alleged "excessive force" that involved his use of Ingo in an arrest.
Ibarra says he was terminated in retaliation for his work as president of the police officers union. He is pursuing legal action in state and federal courts to win his job back and to collect damages.

New dedicated mining skills website by Resources and Engineering Skills Alliancefor SA to be launched today
- From: The Advertiser
- December 19, 2012
A NEW skills website to be launched to the industry today will provide potential workers an in-depth insight about life within mining, available jobs, site descriptions and operations information.
Hot Rubble, a $50,000 project designed and managed by the Resources and Engineering Skills Alliance, has been in the making for six months.
The site is tipped to be interactive and backed with geospatial information, where users can click on mining operations by location and obtain detailed information.
This includes the type of operation (Fly In-Fly Out or residential mine), closest township profile, jobs at the site, and operator and subcontractor website links.
Separately, it will also provide information on necessary skillsets, working conditions and training pathways and opportunities.
Project manager Paula Bennet said the site was focused and built around the local opportunities.
"It's the start of the journey for Hot Rubble. Today, the industry gets a chance to see the website and provide any feedback," she said.
"We already have industry partners on board through our case studies, but eventually, we will look at monetising the website and the information available," she said.
The skills portal will be officially launched annual Resource Industry Skills and Workforce Summit to be held in Adelaide in February, but can be accessed immediately.
The website is a new step for RESA, which engages the mining industry to access available government grants and co-ordinates training through third-party providers. It receives funding from the state's Further Education, Employment, Science and Technology Department, and the Commonwealth's Education, Employment and Workplace Relations Department.
The launch will be at the Science Exchange from 5.30 pm onwards.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) - The Detroit Pistons have officially announced the signings of Italian forward Luigi Datome and guard Will Bynum.
Datome was named Italian League MVP with Roma in 2013, averaging 16.7 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. He shot 41.5 percent from 3-point range.
Datome hopes he can provide steady outside shooting for a Detroit team that already has promising big men Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond, and signed free agent forward Josh Smith last week.
Bynum appeared in a career-high 65 games for Detroit last season.

This is a great idea.
I installed it on a WP3.4.1 multisite installation but could not get a youtube video to display.
I am actually more interested in supporting the customization of the plugin so that it can display videos from our custom video site.
The embed code from our site is as follows:
"<iframe src="http://www.soobahkdoinstitute.com/v/1313" frameborder="0" style="width:450px;height:338px;border:none;"></iframe>"
Is this customization something a nice size donation could make feasible?
Please advise.

Could what the Jewish historian Professor Benny Morris says in the New York Times be true? That if Israel fails in the next four to seven months to destroy anything that remotely smells like radiation in Iran, Israel will simply annihilate all 70 million Iranians through a full blown nuclear war, all within the next seven months?
You have to read this article, it is illuminating and hallucinogenic all at the same time, it confirms that Iran will definitely be attacked, and a Nuclear Third World War declared. I cannot see how it could be avoided, considering how fearful and desperate Israel leaders seem to have become, just like our leaders apparently:
Historian Professor Benny Morris must know what he is talking about, he is working closely with Israel leaders. He has been criticized for this article, people said it sounded like a threat. Nonetheless, if you pay attention to what he says, you will notice that it is not "he" who speaks, nor does it seem like an opinion or a threat.
He is telling us exactly how Israel leaders think and what they are actually about to do in order to save their country and prevent at any cost Iran from acquiring a nuclear bomb, from fears that they might themselves be obliterated in return.
I believe Benny Morris is simply stating a fact about what must happen if Iran does not stop its nuclear program and fail somehow to convince us of it. Let's face it, Iran could never possibly convince Israel that they have stopped their nuclear research.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Moreover, since Iran will not stop its nuclear program - why should they stop, whilst facing such a threat as Israel and America - then a Nuclear Third World War is inevitable.
It will most likely eventually get China and Russia involved, against us, our real targets perhaps. We will certainly deserve it, because we did everything we could indirectly to provoke them. Why? I'm not sure. Maybe you can enlighten me. I'm just like everyone else, totally ignorant of why we do the things we do, though I know that it does not seem to make any sense, since nothing good can come out of it.
I thought Israel did not have nuclear weapons? I better correct my history books. Let's see, how should I put it? America dumped a bunch of nuclear weapons ready to go in Israel, because… well because… well I'm not sure why we did such a thing. Seems now like it might prove to be the greatest mistake ever made.
I would much prefer to teach future generations that Israel was completely inhuman, and did something totally insane, than telling them that we did it and we were completely out of our minds. Still, I would need to admit that those nuclear weapons, we gave them to Israel. At any rate, we will be accomplice in the greatest genocide ever achieved. How could I hide that fact?
I was not yet born when six million Jews and one million gays were eradicated during the Second World War in Germany, and yet I feel responsible. I feel I have done it myself, as I feel that somehow I am part of this humanity, I am part of its history, no matter how much I would love to say that I am not.
I can already tell you now, that I will not have on my conscience 70 million deaths through a nuclear war which will just be the beginning of it all. I am here now, I am able to say no, this cannot happen, I do not want it.
This time I will dissociate myself from your history, and go back to live in my own little bubble universe where I always lived, from where I claim I am just an observer of what goes on in the world.
After all, I have nothing to do with what you do, I am but one human being in this world, what difference could I possibly make? None of this has anything to do with me, or has anything to do with any of us. Or does it? Who is responsible then for our collective destiny?
I don't even vote, I never did, thank God, as I can never forgive myself for anything I do, or that I don't do whilst I know I should. So many obligations, am I alone responsible for the fate of humanity? Sometimes this is just how I feel. And that whatever I could do, the result would be just the same. I don't count, none of us do.
Besides, I would never be able to explain or justify such insanity, even if done in my name, without my consent. And then, well, I would have to acknowledge that none of us truly deserves to exist. I would have to recognize: why not blow ourselves up?
If global warming does not achieve that very result within years, we might as well make doubly sure we will all disappear for good as soon as possible, before we start to threaten not only our small planet, but the whole universe with it. Who knows, perhaps there is life elsewhere. If we do not feel we deserve a chance, and decide to be so destructive instead, we might wish to give them that chance.
There is no doubt in my mind that if we ever develop a technology that could destroy the entire universe, we would certainly use it at the first opportunity. I'm sure the American President would be eager the press the button, just to find out what happens, in case somehow it brings him more wealth. Maybe the President will think that it could get his God to finally reappear? I wonder.
How will we write that down for history, how will we explain such a lack of common sense? Is there truly something that important going on behind the scene, of which we are totally unaware, which warrants this crisis? And why is it that it is thought that we would not accept the real version of event, the motivation behind what we do? Because it could not possibly be justified?
How could we ever make this look good and acceptable to future generations? I don't know. We will have to be highly creative indeed, and perhaps invent some more lies to cover it all up.
What else can we do? Just admit we're monsters and do not care at all for human life? That history is just a long series of genocides, and that the worst ones all happened in the very last chapter of our history, not forgetting of course all the ones happening in Africa at this very moment? That none of us tried to prevent humanity's ultimate destruction, because none of us truly cared?
I am sitting here tonight wondering how we could possibly make the last decade look good on paper for history, how we could twist everything so none of this will look so dirty and simply revolting. My God, I don't think we will be able this time.
We will have to re-adjust our definition of humanity, describing humans as the most savage and destructive animals of the known universe. And that religion certainly did not help in the slightest, that in fact, religion was used a great deal in order to expedite our way out of this world. Worth having Gods, for the good it brought us.
One Vietnam War was enough, it took only 20 years to decipher the truth. Do you know the truth now? This time around we were very much aware of the Second Vietnam War in Afghanistan. Then a third one in Iraq. And as if we were still completely irrational, let's immediately create a Fourth Vietnam War by attacking Iran, and this time, really start the beginning of the end for us all. There are after all just a limited number of pointless Vietnam Wars this world can take before reacting and deciding to put a stop to it.
What is history? No, really, what is truly the history of humankind? We often hear that history is written by the victors, but I have to add, history is also written by the losers, so it might be more acceptable to students trying to understand whatever it is that might have happened before they were born.
Even though, good luck now, students probably don't care about any of it. And so it should be, because our vision of history is so twisted, so biased, that in the end, our history is just a bunch of lies and is worth absolutely nothing. Our own version of history could not tell anyone what actually happened here.
Dear me, am I the first person on this planet to realize that and say it out loud? Hopefully not. Come on now, you know better, you know this is true, history is worth nothing. Because we all know or can guess that this is not how it happened, that these were not the true motivations or the real version of events they are trying to teach us.
Was Germany just deadly thirsty for power, to rule the world, or was Germany provoked into declaring the two first world wars? What was the political scene then? What did we do to provoke this? I'm sure, if we dig deep enough, we will realize that we are all responsible for those two first world wars, even, maybe we are to blame. So convenient to be able to blame someone other than us, and that somehow Germany was too shocked and powerless after those wars, to contradict our own version of events. The Third World War though, we will be certain who will have started it: us.
We can read between the lines, we have the Internet now, we can find out what truly happened there and then. We know most sources cannot be trusted, they're lying for whatever reason. History is simply hypocritical and has always been. I have no doubt Benny Morris, as an historian, does not help the true history of this world or of his own people, as he is now very much provoking it, making history happen, for the worst. Who would have thought that historians could make history happen? They always did, it is the whole point.
You can only but try to hide the truth, in this day and age it is all but useless. The truth is, humanity is so unworthy of existing, that you on top of it all, trying to hide the true facts about it all, is just too much for anyone to take, because we all know it all. No one in their right mind could wish to live in such a world of make belief.
No matter how you could present it, no matter how you could try to justify history, you will never succeed in proving this wrong: humans are all bloody killers, way too ready to take over the land and resources of the next one, and kill whoever might stand in their way.
History is undeniable on this point, humanity is all about wiping itself out of existence, the sooner the better. And one human life counts for nothing, hell, six billion lives count for nothing. If we all die in the end, for whatever explanation, as long as one last tyrant survives all alone, rich as Croesus with all the worldwide wealth, then it would all have been worth it.
This is history in the making, as horrifying as it may seem. Wars to bring richness to a few, whilst eliminating the rest of the world to that expense. There is unfortunately no other way to put it, and it continues to this day.
One human life has always been worth nothing, and will continue to be so for hundreds of years to come, until none of us survive another world war. And then, what would be the point of power and money in such a world? No one can tell, but we will all fight to the death until this reality comes to be.
History might actually be the worst subject ever in school, because first it is just a series of dates between war and peace times, and second, it is just a bunch of misrepresentations about the true motivations for these wars.
I feel that if greed and thirst for power were to be stated as the reasons for wars, and religion and philosophy, then it would expose way too obviously humanity as what it really is. And yet, this is what history is truly all about, to show how human nature is selfish, greedy, an endless desire to kill everyone else on this planet for its own sake. This is history as we really came to know it.
Don't kid yourself, nothing has changed, we are still as barbaric today as we were hundreds of years ago. Technology is by no mean making us look any better. It makes us look worse, because now, we are capable of annihilating the whole world, and we will eventually do just that.
There is no hope for humanity, this is what history tells us. And as much as you would like to believe that history does not apply to what is happening today, that somehow we have now learned all the lessons of history, that we are so civilized compared with those barbarians of the past, you would never be so wrong.
History will be there to tell it all to future generations, just as it was, as long as then, they will be as good at reading between the lines as you are right now when you read your own history books. This world, all of history, is just a distorted truth, and it is up to you to find the real truth behind it, just like it is your duty today to find out what is the truth behind what will one day be described as our history to future generations.
I think it is fair to say that we had enough of wars, that humanity at this time agrees that the history of humankind is ugly and shows nothing commendable. It is also fair to say that no one wants another world war justified by half baked arguments, like false flag terrorism, or potentially threatening countries we all know are not threatening. It is simple, if we were to stop acting as if we own the world, if we were to stop threatening everyone around and start working towards a lasting peace in a just and fair world, there would be no threat, there would be no war.
And what if Iran gets a nuclear bomb in the end? Just about everyone else on this planet has one in its own backyard. Hell, I have read enough on the topic that I could possibly build one myself. The recipe is, after all, in many books in just about every single library in the world. Any last year physics student can build one.
How to make a nuclear bomb has never been a secret, it is basic physics, and then only a few tests are required to get the balance right. Oh, and this little problem, easily circumvented, of finding the ingredients. Or what did you think, that they were impossible to find or buy, in a capitalist world?
We all have a nuclear bomb ready to explode in our back pocket, no one can now prevent that. Trying to prevent them from exploding through pre-emptive strikes, will most assuredly insure that they will all explode at once. You can quote me on that.
You could not possibly annihilate every country that will develop a nuclear bomb, since any country could do it now. Perhaps if left unprovoked, Iran will never use it. Right now, I feel we are much more likely going to use it through fear and unnecessary pre-emptive strikes, and obliterate this world before anyone else.
History is not made by the victors or the losers, it is made right now by a few leaders/dictators elected in so-called democracies. The history of humanity will not become what we make it to be, it will become what a few unwise leaders decided it will be, because despite so-called democracies, we are not in control of humanity's destiny.
There is no reason to believe that even in 1000 years, history will be any different from what we have observed in the last 2000 years. It will just be more destructive, that's all. At least it won't be bloody, nuclear just vaporizes people out of existence. It will still be about killing everyone else in order to take advantage of their natural resources, and whatever else, imposing unto others religions and political philosophies like capitalism, communism and socialism. The day we finally succeed, is the day we are all dead.
Humanity's history cannot change until a few leaders can no longer decide the fate of that humanity. Until a true democracy, involving the decision power of every single individual, is actually put into place.
We can no longer afford a few people deciding the fate of history. Either you have a true democracy or you don't. We have not witnessed at all, at any time in history, a true democracy. It would require for that every single person on this planet being able, individually, to vote on any decision, on any new law, on any new war to be fought.
Today for the first time we have the technology to make this come true. And at that point, if individually, everyone on this planet were to say that being gay is wrong and that I should be executed for being gay, I will accept it and gladly die.
Since then, it would not be one politician who decided my fate, or one priest or religious leader. It would not be one little group of people, it would be everyone, and then you cannot but accept what everyone decides.
And if everyone decides that it is right to obliterate half the planet to become richer, at least I will know that half the planet is insane, immoral and unethical, instead of just a few leaders who appear to control everyone else, for their own self-interests. And then I would at least be certain that annihilating so many people will at least profit many of us, not just a few of us that you can count on one hand. I can accept democracy as long as it is a real democracy, and every single voice has been heard.
And then, you better not start thinking in terms like: "No problem, we'll just brainwash everyone and impose our own point of view upon this world through publicity, public relations and propaganda. We've done it before with great success. And then we'll just convince ourselves we have convinced everyone, and go ahead with our delusional plans."
We will put a stop to this as well, as history has certainly taught us to recognize such manipulations of the masses and where they ultimately led. Eventually we will learn something from history, right?
It is so easy after all to convince anyone of anything these days, no one seems to think for himself or herself anymore, have we ever? One day someone will convince us all that we do not see in color, everything is black and white, or perhaps they will convince us that everything is either black or white. We may have already reached that point.
It seems there is always but one leader deciding for everyone else in this world, and from the point of view of history, this is no longer acceptable. History will always be the same, until we decide collectively to put a stop to it, and make it something no one will ever be ashamed of telling their children what we are all truly about.
We are so eager to go nuclear, as it means ultimate power, as it means ultimate protection. Let's give a nuclear bomb to everyone, let's all have one nuclear bomb in our own back pocket. Then we will all be powerful, we will all be safe.
What version of history would you prefer to teach your children and grandchildren? It is about to become highly complicated to tell, if you wish to remain honest to the facts. Don't worry though, you might never have to make excuses for humanity's history, as humanity is unlikely to survive for much longer.

Or total destruction of Iran, North Korea, and anyone China, Russia anyone that stands in our way of life. Tough shit. If it sounds harsh then so be it. Fire up them nukes and let the strongest survive. I'll move out of the city and start living the way nature intended. Log cabin in the mountains and no civilization. Hunt, fish and enjoy life without the worries of bills, money and gas prices going up fucking everything else up because some greedy fucking towel jockey thinks his shit don't stink. More Americans should realize that these third world fuck jobs are living off our hard work. We are the one's footing the gas bills. So i say nuke em hard nuke em long and vaporize there asses. Read this good shit heads we want you to die too just like you want us to die. Except we already have our nukes and they can reach your asses without falling into the ocean. I welcome what you all fear death is inevitable. When the nukes fall and the EMP wipes out civilization and cars gas and all that means nothing than only the true survivalist will survive. Those that understand how to live off the land. And life will revert back the way it should be with less births, less people, and less fucking bills. I fucking hate bills. I would blow a fucking nuke off in my mail box if it would keep bills from coming into it. So Russians, Arabs, Iranians, and Korean dog eating assholes know that there are Americans that want you dead!!!! FUCKing dead!! I hate watching the news with your empty fucking threats. Go ahead shoot off one of your fucking nukes see the true power of the USA which has always been its nuclear technology which is still the largest nuclear arsenal on earth. You think we got rid of our shit think again. SHOOT ONE AT US I FUCKING DARE YOU TOO! IRAN WILL BE FIRST TO LIGHT UP LIKE A FUCKING CANDLE AND WE WILL DROP HALF YOUR NUKES OUT OF THE SKY ANYWAYS. And pyon dick dong i would tear your balls off if you were near me don't know why your own people are so stupid as to let you lead you fucking north korean piece of shit. Your nukes would be like a pack of old firecrackers in my closet all duds. Please Israel blow Iran off of the map erase them im sick of them one well placed mushroom cloud with a good down wind would finish off that entire miserable country. I can't believe that a bunch of towel heads with barely any food and water and some moron that lives in a country that sits in pitch blackness at night can have such an influence on global affairs. Just nuke there asses. It worked with Japan and it will work again be the first one to do it and they will not do shit they will be stunned that we had the balls to do it and the rest of the world will tremble in fear of us dropping another one with an oh well attitude. Make me president. I fucking dare you to make me the president i would send a fucking seal team into every shit hole with a fucking suitcase nuke and take all these third world leaders out with one huge bang all timed at the same time and then any stupid country that talked shit i would blow there fucking ass up to until there was fucking no one left or everyone just got along. It wouldn't be this is an axis of evil in my speech it would be you either step down as leader or im going to have you fucking killed mob style bitch. Straight up threat. I would already have a billion dollar reward for your death and the reward could go to a group a person an entire military whatever. I would cut your god dam head off just like you did to some of our troops I would have them cut your fucking head off on fucking TLC that's how ruthless i am on the fucking cartoon network. Everyone would see that shit then I would nuke your house and kill everyone within a hundred miles radius. America Israel and the UN need to stop fucking around with these idiots kill them and lets move on with life.

I definately do not agree with all American actions but if you look at Arabian actions since the emergence of Islam, (which we all know interprets as, "submission to allah,") or if we coherently perceive its intent, (submission to whatever they whine about and want to enforce upon the earth in the name of their false prophet, "Bitterness.") Which is the true essence of the hatred they collectively are possessed by and was conceived around 4000 years ago when their matriarchal progenetor was shunned and pushed out. It's an age-old bitterness that has seethed and came to fruition in a cave circa 610 c.e and has a mind to usurp everything and bestow its darkness upon. "Misery loves company." I have talked to Muslims concerning their feelings about their history and they have an honest feeling within their psyche/spirit of grosse error that has transcended several millenia.

Feels like the Parys trade to NO was similar to what Baalke did for Alex Smith. I think he prefers to do a solid for good teammates who are veterans and tries to send them to good situations instead of shopping for the highest bidder.
As for the 7th rounders, those seem to be very useful for trading up.

You Know...
Football has a million
and one stories and just as
many facts and figures.
Here are a few of them
- the record-breaking, unusual and bizarre.
Football Day by Day
Football is a 365 day a year game.
A reminder of some of the famous, record-breaking or bizarre things that
have happened
Day by Day over the years.
Front Page Pictures
Wanderers played their first match at the pictured Pikes Lane ground in
but it was on September 8th 1888 that the ground won its place in football
On that day it was one of five grounds that hosted the first ever Football
matches - Bolton lost 3-6 to Derby County in front of 5000 spectators.
formation of the Football League. There was a grandstand along one
side but the
most popular viewing point was from a hill next to one of the other
touchlines on
which assembled up to 4000 fans. It wasn't the most popular of grounds
with poor facilities and a pitch which soon turned into a mud-bath but its
end came
after the landlords upped the rent from £35 - a year! - in 1888 to £175
five years later.
Bolton played their last match at Pikes Lane in 1895 and then moved to
Burnden Park.
The ground was sold for building - in those pre-Ikea and Tesco days just
houses were built on the site!
* * * * *
Rovers former Eastville Stadium home was probably best remembered by most
for the
flower beds behind the goals and the aroma from the local gas works. A
more tragic memory
would be of the fire that destroyed the South Stand in August 1980
following the first Division 3 match of the season, against Orient. Rovers
were then forced to play their next five League and
Cup matches on 'enemy' territory - Ashton Gate. Their final match at
Eastville was in April 1986
with Rovers then moving to share Bath City City's Twerton Park ground
before arriving at the
Memorial Ground. Eastville is now the site of an IKEA store.
The old
Wembley in 2003 in its last days. It still think that within the £800
million or so it
cost to build the new stadium a few bob could have been found to
incorporate those towers
into the new building or move them somewhere else. To me it was vandalism
at its worst when
they were demolished. As I turned round and walked away after taking the
photo there was a
clap of thunder - in January! That just about summed up what I thought.
Anyway the old
ground was with us from 1923 to 2000 which the new ground staging its
first matches in 2007.

Please Note:
This site isn't complete. Given the rich history of football in this
country alone it probably never will be!
My intention is to base this site
on the Football League clubs and provide information t
hat is
comprehensive, interesting and accurate. Already the site consists
of over 3200 pages
and new pages are being added on a very regular basis
so if the info you are after is not listed now it hopefully will be soon.

LITTLE FALLS � Built between 1916 and 1918, Little Falls City Hall is 95 years old and is in need of federal and state grant moneys to fund its repair.
�The city spent $7,000 last year to stop the leaks in the roof, but there are other repairs that need to be made,� Mayor Robert Peters said during Tuesday evening�s meeting of the Common Council. �The city cannot continue to keep up with the repairs with tax money alone. Federal or state funding is needed to address what needs to be done.�
Nan Ressue, acting chairwoman of Preserve Our Past, said the not-for-profit organization of citizens interested in preserving architecturally significant buildings within the city of Little Falls would put $1,000 toward the $3,500 cost of hiring architect Randall Crawford, of Syracuse-based Crawford and Stearns, to perform a needs assessment to identify and prioritize restorations and repairs at City Hall. Ressue added the city would be called upon to cover $2,000 of the cost, with Crawford donating the remaining $500.
�City Hall is now 95 years old and is beginning to show the effects of age. Not shoddy construction, but the ravages of time,� she said as she addressed the Common Council.
Ressue listed the roof, original wiring and unreliable heating throughout the two-and-a-half-story, steel-frame building faced in brick and terra cotta as potential areas of need.
�The $2,000 will come from the 2014 budget, with the council�s approval, so the city will not be able to move forward with the project until after the budget is in place in January,� said Peters. �The intent is to get this process moving along as soon as possible.�
Ressue said Glens Falls-based Avalon Associates, the city�s grant writing firm, will use the needs assessment completed by Crawford to apply for federal and state grant funding to preserve and restore the historic Classical Revival style building.
�I laud Preserve Our Past for taking the lead on this, especially with the 100th anniversary of City Hall five years away,� said First Ward Alderman Jeffrey Gressler.
Named to the State and National Register of Historic Places in 2011, Little Falls City Hall has a slate covered mansard roof with decorative copper and dormers and sits on a concrete foundation. Atop the roof is a lantern structure with a tiled dome roof and arched windows paneled with colored glass. The front fa�ade features a monumental, three-bay, projected center entrance pavilion with four fluted pilasters.
�The sooner we know what needs to be done, the sooner the city can begin to apply for funding to make the repairs,� said Peters.

I started to notice that almost all my packages were being sent to Russia. After a lot of research I could still not find anything showing the website to be a fraud. I also read a lot about Eric Baird the founder of MYUS.com who is also Access USA. From what I have finally discovered is that these Russians have copied Access USA the address and everything but have changed the number and used a fake domain.
If you look up Access USA in google search, the site that I was using to track shipments does not come up, only the real MYUS.com/Access USA site comes up.
I am suppose to get paid tomorrow but I am pretty sure I wont. I am really worried about what this might do to me. If someone has information on what I can do to protect myself, please let me know.
The website address that they use to correspond is http://myusgroup.com/w_user
The men who contacted me is Albert Gordon and Andrew Salamov. Andrew is supposedly my manager. His email is firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you applied to this do not respond. I am told that I should expect police at my door because these men are 'laundering' The money to purchase the items sent to me are stolen credit cards. Please help if you have any information on how to deal with these people. I still have my contract and everything.
Thank You

Sony SA-NS510 network speaker
Sony's battery-powered monolithic speaker is useful, unless you're on Android
- AirPlay for iPhone works well
- Multiple speakers can be linked
- Reasonable omnidirectional sound
- App only streams Music Unlimited and internet radio
- Party Streaming mode is complicated
- Expensive
Bottom Line
Sony's SA-NS510 is a wireless network speaker that aims to make music listening a trouble-free and convenient experience. If you've got an iPhone and a strong Wi-Fi network, it works well, but the setup is otherwise seriously limited.
Price$ 429.00 (AUD)
Sony's SA-NS510 is part of a larger trend in home entertainment. Our first experience with Wi-Fi network-enabled speakers was Sonos's PLAY:5, but more recently we've also tried out Pure, Samsung, Libratone and Pioneer systems.
The Sonos PLAY:5 remains our favourite, and Sonos also our favourite vendor, although Pioneer's new SMA speakers did wow us recently. Sony is stepping into the ring with three new network speakers — the $229 SA-NS310, the $299 SA-NS410, and $429 SA-NS510.
Sony SA-NS510: Design, features, and setup
The Sony SA-NS510 has an interesting design. We've seen it likened to an upturned vase, a traffic cone, and a vertical wind tunnel. We happen to think it looks more like a futuristic trash can.
It's not constructed in an especially ergonomic shape, but the SA-NS510 does look attractive. It's got a twisting pattern running from the base to the top, with a grille around the lower quarter to dissipate sound from the speaker's omnidirectional setup. There are some controls up top — power, input, voloume, and the enigmatic Party mode — and a carry handle with a soft glowing blue-or-white LED.
Down on the speaker's base, facing outward, there's a DC power jack, 3.5mm audio input, Ethernet wired network socket, and a couple of buttons for connecting the SA-NS510 to a Wi-Fi network. The speaker is 802.11b/g compliant — oddly, no 802.11n, so you'll have to have your home network running in multi-standard mode.
On the SA-NS510's actual base, hidden until you pick the speaker up and turn it over, are two switches. One is a physical hard-on/hard-off power switch, and the other alters the standby mode from a low-power sleep to a high-power one, where the SA-NS510 can be roused over Wi-Fi.
The SA-NS510 has a lithium-ion battery hidden inside its shell, good for up to 5 hours of playback time according to Sony.
Sony SA-NS510: Performance and sound quality
You can use the Sony SA-NS510 with iOS and Android mobile devices using Sony's Network Audio Remote app, via AirPlay on iOS, or via a network-connected PC or Mac. Here's the rub — buying a Sony network speaker only really makes sense if you've got an iPhone, if you've got lots of music already stored on your phone, or if you've got free access to Sony's Music Unlimited service. Android streaming music users are left somewhat in the lurch.
Sony's Network Audio Remote app lets you play music that's stored in your phone or tablet's library, through any AirPlay-enabled app on iOS or Mac, or through DLNA off a PC. AirPlay works just as you'd expect, and Apple's implementation means you can stream any audio through an app that has AirPlay support included.
On an Android smartphone, there's no option to play music except through Sony's app, and the problem is that beyond already-saved music, you're only able to stream Sony's Music Unlimited service, or vTuner internet radio. You can't access Spotify, Rdio, Pandora, or any other music-streaming service. If you've got any music streaming subscription other than one to Music Unlimited, you're out of luck.
There's no Wi-Fi Direct option with the SA-NS510, either. Being battery powered is great — you can move it around your house as you like — but you'll have to stay within range of your Wi-Fi router to be able to use it properly. Beyond that point, it's just a big, battery-powered speaker you'll have to connect to your phone or tablet with an audio cable.
When it actually gets down to listening to music, the Sony SA-NS510 does a perfectly acceptable job. It's got reasonably strong mid-bass for a speaker of its size and weight, although treble is quite restrained. It can sound a little muddy and indistinct in the mid-range with some streaming tracks, though.
A very high maximum volume with little noticeable distortion, as well as reasonable-sounding audio from any angle — courtesy of the omnidirectional speaker design — means it's probably best put to use in the middle of an outdoor party or spread-out picnic.
The SA-NS510's Party Streaming mode is nice, in theory. You can join all your Sony streaming music devices — recent Blu-ray players, home theatre systems, micro hi-fi, A/V receiver and network speakers — into a single unified speaker system, playing music from a single source.
We tried out Party Streaming with a SA-NS510 and a SA-NS410, and found that it was more complicated to setup than an equivalent multi-channel speaker system from Libratone, Sonos or Pioneer. Once it's all set up, music played out of both speakers with no lag — although there's no option to set speakers up as individual stereo channels in the way that Sonos allows. It's certainly possible, just not particularly easy.
Sony SA-NS510: Conclusion
Sony's top wireless network speaker is an interesting concept. A battery-powered, Wi-Fi-enabled speaker that can stream music from all your devices sounds great, and in the Libratone Live and Pioneer XW-SMA3 it really works well.
Sony's implementation in this network speaker is not so refined, though, and while the SA-NS510 does a reasonable job of being a speaker, the network part of the equation still needs some work.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
