Boxingscene Lounge Interview: Stones.
It's 4 am in Sydney.
Today, we have the infamous, feared, spat upon, worshiped, condemned demon from the land down under, Stones, also known as ROSTAM.
What's going on, you sick bastard?
Im only doing this cause Ive never had any issues with you, and youre a pretty swell poster. You have some nerve asking Stones for an interview, boy.
You're all football and boxing, and you stick with katsidis no matter what, what teams and what fighters are your favs?
Current favourite fighters include:
I used to pretend I was a Mac Citeh fan with several of my earlier accounts (re. 2009-10 period) but in reality, I've been a Liverpool supporter since an early age, hence my bias towards Gerrard. I also support Los Blancos in the Spanish League.
Why have you been banned again and again? what is it about you that gets under peoples skin to the point of reporting?
I'd be disappointed if I don't "get under peoples' skin", I don't share the same beliefs or principles as the majority of the degenerates on this site, coupled with the fact that I'm not afraid to post whatever I feel, there is hence a radical ideological disequilibrium which forces posters like marcov, Tbear, lazy, titanium (insert indistinguishable zombie here), to cry foul. I support freedom, they support apartheid, ethnic cleansing and imperialism you decide who you want to side with.
Several of my bannings were justified as I violated forum rules (posting nude pictures etc.), others were unwarranted.
Most of the aussies on this forum are nothing like you, where are you from and does it effect the way you post here?
I'm from Sydney (Western Suburbs) by way of Persia; most Aussie posters are either from Victoria or Queensland by way of Europe hence a slight variation in our Aussie-outlook.
Stones, explain the whole tranny thing and what started that whole ordeal, lol ?
The "tranny thing" was a few months of calculated trolling which is a reputation I can't seem to shed. I assure you, I absolutely do not watch transsexual p*rn.
For tranny related information, youre best off consulting the experts Spray Resistant or dj Benze whom have an extensive knowledge of such things.
You're a huge fan of Rock music, which Pink Floyd song is your favorite?
I was never a huge Floyd fan until very recently when I've been listening to their back catalogue on my ipod. Hmmm, favourite Floyd song would be the 2fer intro on DSOTM. I was always an ardent lover of Rock Music, but my discussions with MIB exacerbated the passion.
Out of UK, Canada and U.S, which one would you have blown up, and which would you like to visit?
That question infers that I support terrorism, which is a pathetic stereotypical opinion many posses about me on this site. I categorically reject those claims. Also, see Imam Tahir-Ul-Qadri's Fatwa against terrorism.
I'd probably travel the US to visit my cousin (she lives in Washington).
Do you smoke or drink?
I Don't smoke or drink.
Your most known and famous beef on here, tell me about it, who and why did it start?
I've never had a "beef" with anyone on this site, I don't engage in "beefs", I engage in subterfuge, in secret, methodical, calculated guerrilla warfare and false flag alt operations. A certain "brother" on this site will know what I'm talking about.
In terms of what you perceive to be a "beef", I guess the best known was probably Rolling Stone vs Kaps, not sure.
Would you consider yourself slightly racist? or would you say some people have a weak sense of humor?
On this forum, sure I've posted things that can be viewed as racist, and which in reality I, myself view as racist, but I think what's more important is a) intention and b) the importance you place on this forum. If your entire self-worth is based on this forum (re. Tbear) then you'd be hitting the report button in every thread.
What was your original original join date, since then how has the lounge and NSB changed?
I don't remember my exact join, date, it must have been early or mid-2009. Since then, the lounge has seen the influx of some interesting characters, namely, vcvc, dj, erik, MEDVED etc. which I welcome of course as it promises fireworks, whether you agree or disagree with them ideologically.
What poster would you bring back, and which poster would you have executed in the backyard, lounge thread style?
I'd love to see a prime jack_the_rippuh. Also, Pitty_Pat & MT return to the Video Section. MT announced his retirement, but Pitty Pat just vanished.
I'd love to execute hundreds of posters, too many to name, sorry.
Who would you like to see me interview?
dj Benze (emz)
Thanks, stones.
Youre welcome, Ether

Any one know why Carlos Monzon never tested the water at Lightheavy?
He was big enougth and had the skill and chin to trouble any lightheavy.Imagine Foster vs Monzon, Monzon punched hard like a heavyweight so for me he could of beat foster

As good as Monzon was, I wouldn't give him much chance of beating Bob Foster, who had torn through every light-heavy contender they could muster and was also competitive with top heavies of his era. Imo moving up to face dominant, powerful big guys like Spinks and Foster would be a near-certain loss for virtually any middleweight.
Had the 175 champ in their day been a Donny Lalonde type fighter, maybe they would have gone for it. But both were comfortable dominating their own division, so the prospect of facing an all-time great light-heavy and a likely heavy defeat is probably why they didn't bother. Had Jones, Hopkins and Calzaghe been faced with that prospect, I suspect they would have stayed in their own divisions too.

I agree with you 100% about Monzon vs Foster. Foster was used to KOing and getting hit by lightheavyweights and even heavyweights. Monzon never tested those waters.
Remember when Jose Naples ventured up 13 lbs to fight Monzon? I see the exact same thing happening if Carlos went up 15 to face Foster.
As for hitting power, I think Hearns at 160 hit harder than Monzon did at 160.
Carlos had good power, but he was no Gerald McClelland or Julian Jackson. Or Bob Foster....
Cotto16, I often wondered how King Carlos would have done if he went up in weight as well. He was friends and stablemates with Victor Galindez. I'm sure they sparred. Carlos did the best for his career by staying planted at 160, where he attained legendary status. Had he moved up to 175 (since there was no 168 when he was active) he would not have dominated like he did at 160.
Kid, I gave you more good K for your post. Well said, sir!

Democracy is impossible when religion is involved
Here we go again – another "revolution" in Egypt. When are people, all people, going to realize that a theocracy is not a democracy?
One needs no further clues to know that a political party called the Muslim Brotherhood is going to favor Muslims. Religion does not lend itself to rational debate, based on common sense, but is influenced by the faith of the believer. Each religion has its own rules and practices and "ne'er the twain between faiths shall meet."
It makes no difference what the religion: Egypt, a "Muslim" nation; the United States, a "Christian" nation; Israel, a "Jewish" nation. We must realize that a true democracy requires complete separation of religion from government.
Let us stop supporting these theocracies pretending to be democracies. Our forefathers knew this with our very First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion …"

Perthes Disease
Perthes is a condition in children characterized by a temporary loss of blood supply to the hip. Without an adequate blood supply, the rounded head of the femur (the " ball " of the hip) dies. The area becomes intensely inflamed and irritated.
Perthes disease is usually seen in children between 4 to 10 years old. It is five times more common in boys than in girls.
Symptoms of Perthes Disease
• Limping
• Mild pain in parts of the leg, such as the groin, thigh, or knee
• When the hip is moved, the pain worsens. Rest often relieves the pain.
The child may have had these symptoms intermittently over a period of weeks or even months. Pain sometimes is caused by muscle spasms that may result from irritation around the hip.
Perthes Disease Treatment
Treatment may require periods of immobilization or limitations on usual activities. The long-term prognosis is good in most cases. After 18 months to 2 years of treatment, most children return to normal activities without major limitations.
Non-Surgical Treatment of Perthes Disease
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Physical therapy
• Bed rest in traction may be needed in some cases
Surgical Treatment of Perthes Disease
Surgical treatment re-establishes the proper alignment of the bones of the hip. The head of the femur is placed deep within the socket, or acetabulum. This alignment is kept in place with screws and plates, which will be removed at a later time. In some cases, the socket must also be made deeper because the head of the femur has actually enlarged during the healing process and no longer fits snugly within. After either procedure, the child is often placed in a cast from the chest to the toes for 6 to 8 weeks.
After the cast is removed, the child will again participate in physical therapy. Activities will be designed so that the child only partially bears weight on the affected hip. X-rays will show when the final stages of the healing are under way.

Lil' Kim is about to have time on her hands – and everybody else's, if she can work it.
The hip-hop artist known for her bling-bling is launching her own wristwatch line, to be manufactured by celebrity jeweler Jacob Arabo and called Royalty – and carrying a price that only royalty can bear, from $1,800 to $3,500.
Still, as Kim (real name: Kimberly Jones), 30, says in a statement: "I wanted to create a quality, unique product that fashionable women everywhere can afford."
She adds: "I love fashion and wanted to create a designer watch collection that would translate my personal style into a product which would appeal to stylish women everywhere."
Tyra Banks and Ashlee Simpson are already sporting Kim's watches, with feature diamond bezels weighing from 1.75 to 2.25 carats and interchangeable leather wristbands.
Speaking of time, Kim's federal perjury and obstruction-of-justice case has been postponed, with her Nov. 15 court date now pushed back to Feb. 28, 2005, so defense attorneys could better prepare.
Kim has been charged with lying to investigators looking into a Feb. 25, 2001, shootout outside a Manhattan radio station.

United States Army Officer. A Colonel in the United States Army, he was the founder of the elite United States Army Special Forces. commonly referred to as "The Green Berets". He was a lifeguard for many years before World War II, but joined the Army in 1939. Because he was nearing 40, he was considered too old for combat, and was assigned as a Captain to the Office of Strategic Services, Special Operations branch. Being fluent in French, he led Operation Jedburgh in 1944, parachuting into France along with two Frenchmen, an officer and a radio operator. They rallied French opposition and liberated several towns. In 1944 and 1945, he led Operation Iron Cross, where he posed as a Nazi soldier, attempting to capture Nazi German dictator Adolph Hitler and bring him before a war crimes tribunal. After the war, he stayed with the Army, and convinced the Army to create a unit with the same duties of the SO division of the disbanded OSS. He hand-picked the first members of the 10th Special Forces unit, subjecting them to harsh training in hand-to-hand combat, guerilla warfare, rock climbing, amphibious warfare, and the use of explosives for demolition. He suggested the unit should wear special berets to distinguish them from other units, but Army regulations would not allow it. President John F. Kennedy gave a special order allowing the berets, choosing the color green. Bank retired from the Army in 1958. He wrote the book "From OSS to Green Berets: the Birth of Special Forces" about his role in creating the Green Berets. In 2002, President George W. Bush gave him a commendation for creating the techniques used to defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan. He died in an assisted living facility in Dana Point, California, at the age of 101.

You know you are getting old...
... when you search the Web for game add-ons for Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour and realize that the last up-to-date websites are over 10 years old.
Well, I admit, I still love the game. And since I could buy it on the Mac Appstore last year it has been my favorite ever since. If you are like me, here is a video on how to use user-generated Maps on a Mac running Command and Conquer Generals Zero-Hour.
Steve Jobs introduces the NeXT - Computer History
This was found during Sorkin made his terrible Steve Jobs movie - it is worth watching. At 41 minutes you can hear Steve backstage "Come on, Come on, it's not working!" - quality is from old VHS tapes, but its worth to watch.
Apple had the best Quarter of any company ever and why nobody cares...
Not just the best Quarter, but the best Qarter ever recorded in history by any company. EVER!
Still, many people feel down about Apple and here is why in two simple graphs that I found at sixcolors.com
Growth for the iPhone has levelled off, iPod is dead and the iPad seems to follow the same trajectory in spite of the iPad Pro launch. The only constant is the Mac - maybe Apple will be a computer company again at some point in the distant future.
This however shows the real problem - zero or negative growth in all categories. This is what scares investors (that's why Alphabet became the most valuable company ahead of Apple last week - based on stock market evaluation). Apple had profits of up to 6 billion$ per month last quarter (PROFIT!) and the Apple stockprice did this:
That's right - it did nothing. We live in a screwed up world.
The concept of always being reachable makes us present nowhere.
Think about it. It's true. Always on has ruined our lives, our attention span, our ability to focus and our relationships.
Technology driven interruptions, initiated by ourselves through usage of social media, modern technology like smartphones, smartwatches and the integration of messaging services into anything that is connected to the Internet, result in a superficial lifestyle.
We can not just enjoy the moment, almost all of us already lost that ability. We have to stare at some screen. Apple has to change the lighting algorithm for its iOS devices because it is proven we are not able to sleep anymore after using our phones and tablets in bed.
We are doomed! We don't live fulfilling lives anymore because we have to look at somebody else's also not fulfilling life (but there is a chance we miss something great). We let FOMA dictate our days (and nights).
Maybe it is time to disconnect. I got off Facebook years ago, I got off Twitter and I use my Apple watch as a WATCH (revolutionary concept). My phone is set to "Do not Disturb" most of the time, when I am not at work. But most importantly any Technology interruption (Phonering, Mail chime, Message Vibration) is not more important to me than what I am actually doing in that moment. It's hard, distractions are wonderful things sometimes, but I am taking my life back.
Those were the days...
I haven't played Loderunner for some time now - it is still one of the greatest games ever created and even today I can spend hours playing it.
I use the C64 Forever 2016 Plus Edition for Windows 10 to run classic Commodore games. It supports a wide variety of CBM systems like the C64, C128, VIC 20 but also all of the CBM xxx series and the 1977 PET 2001.
If you are into Retro Gaming and/or classic computer systems of the 80's - this is for you!
Squarespace 7 Blog Import
I just moved my Blog again. This time from a Squarespace 7 Site to another Squarespace 7 site. Sounds easy enough, but ...
Squarespace does not offer this option!
I could move a Squarespace 5 Site/Blog - but not from the same version. Fail!
Anyway, this is how you do it:
- Export to Wordpress and save as an XML file
- Go to your new site and Import from Wordpress
- Choose advanced and select the XML file
- Be patient (it takes a while)
The result is almost perfect - all Blog entries moved over nicely. Why in the world there is no direct way to do this I will not understand though.
Apple Music Fail?
Maybe you experienced the same issue as many other Apple Music users today. Continuos error message popups with the following description:
The shared library "Cloud Music Library" is not responding. (503)
This started happening this morning and IS NOT an issue on your system. It has been reported for Windows and Mac versions of iTunes (my iTunes basically is unusable at the moment) and also of iOS devices.
Let's hope Apple gets this sorted out fast.
The Future of Technology
The Apple Watch - after 4 weeks of use
I am glad I didn't write a review of the Apple Watch right after I got it - it wouldn't have done this marvelous piece of technology justice.
You see, it's a watch. And it's a very nice watch on top of it. But my expectations of what I would get were much different. Apple would re-invent the category of smartwatches, this would be the final breakthrough for wearable's on your wrist. The grand solution to all of the problems all other smartwatches weren't able to fix until now (and that includes my Casio calculator watch from 1983).
Four weeks later I see that my expectations were wrong. For wearable technology on your wrist the Apple watch has not solved all the problems. The screen is beautiful but still too small to do a lot of useful things.
But it is a beautiful watch, and it can do a lot of cool stuff on top of that. Controlling my music without getting my phone out when I run, being the best remote for my Apple TV and getting me notifications makes my life so much easier.
After seeing the WWDC Keynote and what is coming with watchOS 2.0 and apps running natively on the watch I am even more excited. This thing is going to be the next big thing. And as long as you treat it first of all as a watch you will not be disappointed. All the other stuff will take some time until we figure out what makes sense on your wrist.
But I am sure we will figure it out and Apple will make the watch better with every iteration until in hindsight it will have transformed its category.

Things to do with your Apple earbuds
I always knew there was more you could do - here is an extensive list of 14 things you can do:
Time to look up!
How to destroy a brand (ask Microsoft) - and my career?
Here we go, Microsoft Lync will be rebranded Skype for Business in Q1/2015.
Do I even have to write more? How stupid could you be Microsoft? Really? Skype?
You are seriously taking an established and trusted enterprise brand like Lync and for the sake of what exactly rebrand it to a generally distrusted brand that most IT Managers and their business counterparts still see as a toy, a consumer product on the same level as Yahoo Messenger (does that still exist?) and Snapchat.
What the f...?
I worked for years to establish Lync as the primary communciations tool in my company, it is used by 12.000 employees and is the only telephony system for many of them. At the same time Skype is still blocked in many companies (you know - it is a trusted brand...). So why would you do this? My estimate is that this name change (and the change of the client UI) alone will stall or eliminate many Lync projects. And it will be the end to many succesful implementations.
"Hey, why don't you switch off your Siemens PBX and use Skype instead?"
Does that sound like it will be succesful in your company? It wont be in mine and that's why I give up on Microsoft. I will hold on to my Lync 2013 implementation and never again update, just let it die a slow death until something else comes along over the next ten years that is as trusted as Lync and won't have a stupid name that kills it. Thanks, Microsoft.
And just in case you wonder, I do completely understand the need to unify the Lync and Skype technologies, strategy and product teams. But there is no reason to use one name for two different products. It is simply put confusing (OneDrive and OneDrive for Business is a perfect example) and bad branding.
Amazon Echo
Amazon has not the best record when it comes to innovative technology - however, I'd like to try this one out:
... and here is already the first parody:
Smartphones are the downfall of humanity
Well played, Dad!
Windows 10 - Build 9860
I just installed the latest Build of the Windows 10 Technical Preview. The installation took some time and it would be very helpful if the download interface would give some estimate on how long it would actually take - download size was about 2.5GB - it really seems this is a complete re-install, not so much an update. Also the installation process and first logon look more like a migration than an update. Some settings were reset and not carried over (e.g. IE Trusted Sites).
There are a couple of new features, immediatly visible the notification center (which is right now just a plain white windoe which displays notification as they come in). Functionality is off course still missing, the items that are displayed are mostly not actionable - but I am sure this will get better with newer builds.
Windows are now more animated when opened and closed, Storage Sense and Data Sense are here (if you use Windows Phone you already know these).
Most importantly the bugs I have seen in the first release are gone (search from the IE adress bar works again - before I had to first go to google and then search from there).
Obviously there are more changes and tweaks, for example if you click on the network connection icon in the taskbar instead of just a popup on the right you get taken into fullscreen view of PC Settings - not a step forward in my view - but more consistant.
I am sure I will find more changes that I'll write up in a future post - so far, still very stable and usable even as my primary system.
Windows 8.1 Keyboard shortcuts of the day
As I am getting used to Windows 8 more and more I started to use some shortcuts quite regulary. These are my shortcuts of the day:
Windows key + D = show desktop
Windows key + Q = Search charm
Windows key + F = Go to Files in Search charm (very paractical)
Windows key + R = Run
Windows key + , = Peek at the desktop
Putting weak iPad sales into perspective
Apple basically created the tablet category in 2010 - since then continously loosing market share (from 95% to 25% in the 3rd. Quarter of 2014).
However, I think it is worth putting these numbers and the doomed iPad (if you believe some reports) into perspective. To do this here is the absolute numbers of tablet shipments (from Statista)
Apple owned the market in Q2 2010 but shipped only 3 million units. In Q2 2014 it held 25% of 49.3 million units - which results in sales of 12.5 million units compared to 3 million 4 years ago.
I believe the iPad is doing quite well and has a bright future - and competition from Android and Microsoft will only result in a better device from Apple in the end.
Why Apple Pay is already dead to me
Apple trained me for a long time now. And it always was ok. Something new and magical comes along and you pick it up, start playing with it and it just works. That's what I came to expect from Apple. Sure , sometimes there is a glitch or a bug - I understand that. But making amazing technology easy to use and getting me to want to use it again and again is something Apple does perfectly.
Until now.
So what's up with Apple Pay? No matter what I try, I can't set it up and I refuse to google it. That is not the Apple way, that's not what you taught me over the last 20 years. I assume this is somehow integrated in Passbook, and by the way, why would you do that Apple? Passbook is the single biggest mess on my iPhone, don't put cool new stuff in there. First of all there are not enough companies integrated, second I don't want to deal with all of their apps - if I wanted that, why do I need Passbook?
Anyway, I tried. Unfortunately I don't make it into Passbook. It insists that I need to install Apps - I don't want to install Apps! I want to use Apple Pay! I want to scan my CreditCard just as it was shown in the Keynote and use that card for paying. I tried to install two apps (Starbucks and Apple) - Starbucks crashes because it doesn't like my phone number (really? no error message - just won't let me save) and the Apple Store app pulls my iTunes account which I do not use for physical stuff (and to give me the message that I need to sign out of this account in the iTunes Store app and then login with a different account is definately not a solution).
I gave up - the whole process took about 45 minutes. I guess that's about the time I would have saved paying with my phone instead of my credit card over the next three years (yes Apple, your Video of how hard it is to pay with your credit card was cute - but that's all that it was - it is not presenting reality because it actually is really simple to pay with a credit card).
I am an Apple fanboy, so I will try again. But I have to wait until iOS 9 when they finally pull the plug on passbook and give me an Apple Pay app (how hard could that be Apple? You already give me a bunch of useless apps that I cant unistall on my phone, one more would have been ok).
And since we are on that topic - let me uninstall! I am not buying a Dell PC loaded with crapware - I am buying the highend smartphone on the market, I know what I am doing so just let me if I want to uninstall "Tips" or "Podcast" (because, guess what, your Podcast App stinks!).

NEW ORLEANS - The Eagles have received at least one offer for Kevin Kolb that would include a first-round draft pick in exchange for the quarterback, a league source said Monday.
While Eagles president Joe Banner would not confirm the offer, he did say that there was a "more aggressive market" for the 26-year-old Kolb than there was for Donovan McNabb. The Eagles dealt McNabb to Washington last April for an early second-round pick and a 2011 fourth-round selection.
"You can figure if there's a quarterback that a number of teams are interested in, you're going to end up with some meaningful compensation," Banner said Monday during a break in the NFL owners' meetings at a New Orleans hotel. "You can kind of figure out what that means and speculate from there. That's the situation we're in."

Nearly 18 percent of U.S. school-aged children and adolescents are obese, as the rate of childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. The prevalence of obesity puts children at greater risk of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke and other illnesses, and of suffering severe obesity as adults. New study results indicate that where a child lives, including factors such as the neighborhood's walkability, proximity to higher quality parks, and access to healthy food, has an important effect on obesity rates. Researchers found that children living in neighborhoods with favorable neighborhood environment attributes had 59 percent lower odds of being obese.
"Obesogenic Neighborhood Environments, Child and Parent Obesity: The Neighborhood Impact on Kids Study" was published in a special theme issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Led by Brian Saelens, PhD, of Seattle Children's Research Institute, this is among the first neighborhood environment studies to look at a combination of nutrition and physical activity environments and to assess children and their parents. It is also among the largest studies of its kind to use objective geographic information system (GIS) data to examine the physical activity and healthy food option attributes of a neighborhood related to obesity.
Researchers used GIS to assess Seattle and San Diego area neighborhoods' nutrition and physical activity environments. Nutrition environments were defined based on supermarket availability and concentration of fast food restaurants. Physical activity environments were defined based on environmental factors related to neighborhood walkability and at least one park with more or better amenities for children. Kids that lived in neighborhoods that were poorer in physical activity and nutrition environment had the highest rates of obesity—almost 16 percent—in the study. This figure is similar to the national average. On the flip side, only eight percent of children were obese in neighborhoods where physical activity and nutrition environments were positive.
"People think of childhood obesity and immediately think about an individual's physical activity and nutrition behaviors, but they do not necessarily equate obesity with where people live," said Dr. Saelens, who is also a professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington. "Everyone from parents to policymakers should pay more attention to zip codes because they could have a big impact on weight."
Fast food may not be as easy to come by in the Seattle area, based on the study. There were 3,474 fast food locations in San Diego County, as compared to 1,660 in King County, Wash. On a county-level block group average basis, San Diego had 2.0 fast food locations per block group, and King County had 1.1.
Numerous national health organizations have identified neighborhood environment and built environment, including healthy food and physical activity opportunities, as important factors in childhood obesity, including the Institute of Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Our data support recommendations from these groups that we need to change our environments to make them more supportive of physical activity and nutrition," said Saelens.
Dr. Saelens' co-authors were: James Sallis, PhD, University of California San Diego; Lawrence Frank, PhD, University of British Columbia; Sarah Couch, PhD, RD, University of Cincinnati; Chuan Zhou, PhD, Seattle Children's Research Institute; Trina Colburn, PhD, Seattle Children's Research Institute; Kelli Cain, MA, University of California San Diego Research Foundation; James Chapman, MSCE, Urban Design 4 Health, Inc.; Karen Glanz, PhD, MPH, University of Pennsylvania.

Chemical Warfare
Socialite Phyllis Glazer Puts Her Money Where Her Mouth Is to Take on a Texas Polluter
But for the past several years a bullhorn has become Glazer's most conspicuous fashion accessory. After learning that poor people living near her sprawling country estate were suffering from severe medical problems they attributed to pollution from a nearby chemical plant, Glazer went to war with the company. "I'm their worst nightmare," she says of her battles with the plant, including the filing of three lawsuits, "and darn proud of it."
Glazer admits she can't quite fathom her conversion to toxic avenger. Raised in Tucson, the daughter of wealthy ceiling-grate manufacturer Leo Krueger and his wife, Mildred, she led a life of unquestioned privilege. But she never graduated from high school (although she later earned a GED), and, at 17, in accord with the then-common practice in her Orthodox Jewish community, she accepted an arranged marriage which produced two sons, David, now 30, and Steven, 27. The marriage ended in divorce after eight years, and in 1977 she married R.L. Glazer, whose Dallas family runs one of the largest wine-and-liquor distributorships in the country. Using part of her own inheritance, Phyllis in 1988 bought the magnificent 2,200-acre Blazing Saddles Ranch in Winona, 90 miles east of Dallas, a spread that had once belonged to famed oil baron H.L. Hunt.
At first the Glazers, who had a son of their own, Max, now 17, were unaware there was a toxic-waste-disposal plant in their neighborhood. Then, on Oct. 18, 1991, as Phyllis was driving Max to school, they passed the chemical plant, then known as Gibraltar Chemical Resources Inc. Thick reddish-brown clouds were belching into the air-and, more alarmingly, scores of workers were fleeing the plant. The fumes caused a burning sensation in Glazer's nose and throat, and within a few days she was shocked to see a large hole developing in her nasal septum, the soft tissue that separates the nostrils. "When I opened my mouth, it looked like everything inside had just melted," says Glazer. "The skin was hanging in shreds." It turned out that there had been an explosion at the plant when two chemicals had been accidentally mixed.
At a town meeting with company officials two months after the explosion, Glazer had her epiphany. She sat listening as executives downplayed concerns about the foul odors that routinely emanated from the plant and about the hundreds of tons of chemicals that were being pumped down a mile-long shaft in the ground to a supposedly secure rock formation. At one point a company official remarked that even if the facility had leaked pollutants into the groundwater, the aquifer could be easily cleaned up. In an instant Glazer was on her feet, shouting, "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!" Even in retrospect she is surprised by her outburst. "I was very intimidated all my life," she says. "[But at the meeting] I became a different person. I felt I had to do something, and I felt I was born to this fight."
Other people in Winona had been complaining about the plant for years, to little effect. Apart from the foul odors, they pointed to a disturbing pattern of health problems and birth defects, especially among people living close by the Gibraltar plant in the town's Wallace Bluff section, an area inhabited mostly by descendants of slaves freed after the Civil War. "There are 30 to 40 homes in my community," says Rachel Prince, a tutoring coordinator in the nearby Tyler school district who lives in Wallace Bluff, "and very few of them have not been hit by either cancer or birth defects." One of those afflicted elsewhere in the town is 10-year-old Michael Williams, who suffers from the genetic ailment called neurofibromatosis, which involves multiple aggressive tumors. "Michael's disease is not inherited from his father or myself," says his mother, Marti Williams, a registered nurse who specializes in oncology and chemotherapy. "I am convinced it is environmental."
Within months, Glazer had helped organize an offensive against the company. At her own expense she hired environmental engineers, who found pollution in a local private water well, and epidemiologists to assess the extent of the birth defects. Perhaps most importantly, she hired top-notch lawyers to take on the company, then rode herd on them to make sure they pursued the action aggressively. "She'll drive you nuts," sighs Houston environmental litigator Jim Blackburn, one of several attorneys who have worked with Glazer. "But so many people are unwilling to take a risk for others, and she is willing to take that risk." Glazer's legal expenses alone have totaled more than $1 million. "I've gone through my mother's money, my money, and now I'm going through my husband's to save children," she says.
To turn up the pressure even more, Glazer chartered buses to take neighbors to the state capital in Austin and to Washington to lobby congressmen and regulators to shut down the waste plant. "We had been worn down to the point where we didn't have much fight left in us," says Rev. Sylvester Curry, pastor of Winona's New Zion Baptist Church. "It was a blessing Phyllis came along. Everybody got fired up."
Or in some cases just hot under the collar. For the truth is that Glazer's activism didn't win her universal popularity in Winona. Critics point out that in the past the plant had donated thousands of dollars to the school district and had underwritten much of the cost of the local Little League. "She's got the community all stirred up, and a lot of it is just with false accusations," says Craig Attaway, principal of nearby Union Grove Elementary School. "If she could prove it with facts, that's one thing. But she can't prove it." Glazer says resentment against her ran so high that she received numerous death threats and took to sleeping with a pistol beside her pillow.
For its part, the company dismisses Glazer and her allies as so many fear-mongers. "We are a falsely created villain," says Larry Levine, a lawyer for American Ecology Corporation, which now owns the plant. "We dispose of waste in an extremely tightly regulated manner. We are part of the solution, not part of the problem." But the facility did have a lengthy history of air-purity and hazardous-waste violations-an Environmental Protection Agency enforcement officer called it a "horror to its neighbors"-and last March, American Ecology announced it would shut the plant down. Before pulling the plug, however, the company slapped Glazer and her family with a multimillion-dollar lawsuit, claiming they had wrongfully interfered with its business.
Glazer, apparently unfazed, professes more concern about the suits she and her neighbors have pending against American Ecology. The most important is a class action brought by 652 plaintiffs in Winona seeking more than $200 million in damages, a case that may take years to come to trial. In the meantime she worries about the continuing health problems of townsfolk, which she blames on the effects of pollution. "I've got numbness in my feet, and my toenails have fallen off," she says. "I've got short-term memory loss that drives me crazy." Yet Glazer is confident that she will one day see the company pay for the problems she believes it has caused. "I don't get heart attacks," she says with a smile. "I give them."

Would you raise a child conceived as a result of someone raping your wife
On Friday, advice columnist Carolyn Hax took on a strangely well-worn query for todays relationship advice columnists. Heres the situation (thanks to Heartless Doll for the tip): A woman is raped. She becomes pregnant. She decides to carry the pregnancy to term. Her husband decides he wants a divorce.
Question for the columnist: Is this guy a dick, or what?
If that very unfortunate scenario sounds familiar, its because last November, Daily Telegraph advice-giver Lesley Garner answered a question from a woman in an eerily similar situation. Garner failed.
Garners advice-seeker had been raped, become pregnant, and had the baby. Her husband split, leaving her to raise the child as a single mother. Her question: Should she attempt to rekindle a relationship with the man who had dumped her as a result of her sexual assault?
You may recall how Garner responded: She informed the woman that her rape wasnt exactly a rape but a situation between you and your boss that got out of hand. Garner also insisted that a husband jetting after his wife is impregnated through rape is a no-brainer . . . No man could contemplate this. He would have found your decision inexplicable.
In my critique of Garners advice (in short, do not advise rape victims that they are not rape victims, and also, please refrain from informing women that their reproductive choices are thoroughly inexplicable to other humans), I noted that I was not an advice columnist, but that I suspected the husband in question to be a dickwad. Now that weve got a legit advice-giver in the form of Carolyn Hax to weigh in on the subject, we may finally learn the answer: Are you a dick for abandoning your wife after she is impregnated from her rape?
But first, the big wind-up:
Oakland, Calif.: Hello Carolyn. A friends wife became pregnant as a result of a sexual assault. She has decided to not have an abortion, and doesnt know yet whether she wants to give the child up for an adoption. Would the husband be a [glass bowl] for refusing to raise this child, and divorcing if necessary? Thanks.
Essentially, the reader is asking Hax this: Oh, hello Carolyn, my friends wife was raped. LONG STORY SHORT, now my friend has been seriously inconvenienced by this, so can you please let him know hes not a dick for peacing? Thanks.
Hax delivers a reasoned response that manages to give credit to the difficulty of the husbands situation while still conveying the fact that, yes, he is a gigantic jackass:
Wow. I think the only happy outcome is one the husband and wife conjure together. Technically, this isnt something the wife can force on the husband and expect him to agree to joyfully.
That said, technically, this pregnancy wasnt something to be forced on the wife, and yet it was. So, in a rare case where bean-counting is the way to go, the husband needs to let go of any notion of an ideal outcome here, in direct proportion to the wifes distance from her notion of an ideal outcome. This is the only fair and decent course.
Finally, theres the child to be considered, who is obviously innocent, and deserves to enter the world with just as clean a slate as any other childs.
Im not saying this wouldnt be a Herculean challenge for the husband, because it wouldbut embracing the innocent child strikes me as immeasurably better for the soul than leaving ones rape-victim wife to be a single mom.
I trust Hax on this one. Heres why: Observe how Hax refrains from suggesting that (a) perhaps this rape victim was not in fact raped, nor that (b) rape victims who carry their pregnancies to term deserve to be alone for the choices they have made. Incredible. It is thus resolved: abandoning your rape-victim wife is a dick move.
UPDATE: Its worse than I thought. The rape victims husbands friend weighs in to further contextualize the situation:
Oakland again: Thanks Carolyn. Obviously this whole situation is devastating for them. I dont know if this make a difference, but the couple is white, and the assailant was Afircan-American, and the husband isnt exactly progressive when it comes to race relations.

That's a thought I couldn't even imagine. I'm not married and I don't know what that would be like but that's some heavy duty **** right there.
I think it would take a lot for the woman to even want to conceive a child that came from a rape.
IDK what i would do

yes, I would.
Provided she was wifey material and I was ready to settle down, and she really got raped, and wanted to keep it herself.
Alot of ifs, but its not the child's fault, or the woman's in such a case

915-742-2121(Information Desk)
Pap smear is a specific part of a gynecological exam or pelvic exam where evaluation for cervical cancer is done.
During a Pap Smear, your provider take a sample of the cells of the cervix.
These cells are sent it to the lab for examination under the microscope to check for abnormal changes.
It is a screening test for cervical cancer or precancerous change of the cervix.
During this part of the speculum exam, your provider can also take discharges from your cervix or vagina to look for infection(s) in your genital tract.
Back to Top
I was in the ER last night and they gave me a Pap Smear.
I went to the ER 4 times last year and they did 4 Pap Smears on me.
ER providers rarely do a pap smear. In fact it is safer that ER providers do not perform pap smears.
Your ER provider did the speculum exam to check for infections of the vagina and/or the cervix
There are many strains of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). HPV is transmitted through sexual intercourse. These viruses can change normal cervical cells into cells that can become cancerous.
Here are some reasons to get regular Pap smears:
It is recommended that women less 30 years of age have a Pap Smear done once a year
If you can have a Pap Smear every 3 years if you meet all these criteria:
Women older than 70, in a stable sexual relationship, and have 3 consecutive normal Pap Smear, may elect to stop getting yearly pap smear. You still need yearly physical and Pelvic exam.

Rochester police are searching for the man who got away with cash during a robbery Friday evening.
The robbery happened at the Title Cash at 101 Wakefield St.
Police say the man who entered the store with a white piece of cloth covering his face, was able to get ahold of some money before getting away.
He's described as a white man, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, with a thin build and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing shorts, and a gray hooded sweatshirt. Police say he ran toward Summer Street on the railroad tracks at the end of Orchard Street.
The man did not show a weapon and there were no reported injuries.
Anyone with information is asked to call Rochester police.

Elite fighter Criteria
I just want to know what is everyone's criteria for being an elite fighter. Which should have more weight ... talent or skill? Longevity or being undisputed? How much does resume play a part of it and will you consider the state of the opponent ( past it, prime, shot, dehydrated )?
My opinion. Skills above talent. Undisputed over Longevity. Resume... yes but you never know the state of you opponent before the fight. On paper its easy but only when you step into the ring will have any clue.
To me, it's all about risks before the fight. Knowing that you are vulnerable but still have the confidence that you would win. The elite would often find a way to win ... or lose knowing they have done their best and have the confidence to continue on.
If I have to say on who are the elite fighter now...
a. pac
b. marquez
c. cotto
d. shane
e. bhop
f. pbf
g. williams
With pbf as the exception, all rebounded from losses as a better fighter. Pbf has been tested in the lower weights but I have yet to find an argument for JWW and above.

It's hard to apply one criteria to all fighters cause boxing always goes through "eras" with all kinds of different variables. you can't really apply a formula to know who is great and who is just good, you just gotta do your research, watch the fights and bounce your opinions off other fans.
when i'm looking at a guys record i always think about the fighters key wins, and what did that opponent go on to do afterwards. roy jones win over hopkins is an excellent example. hopkins went on to dominate and it made roy look great because he already had the W over him.
big names wins don't really tell the whole story, you can't find out who is great on boxrec. too many people just check the record books and don't actually watch the fights and consider flaws and strengths in a guys style, especially when you're talking about fantasy match-ups
btw paul williams doesn't need to be only "great" lists, not even in the past decade. he might do something but so far he hasn't done ****

Most important aspect is who you have beaten...Paul Williams is not an elite fighter...but he's pretty good...I think he will be an elite fighter very soon tho...

From the Quintana, he has already adjusted his flaws. Add in the fact of his freakish size, it is logical that people do not want to meet him. I have yet to find his flaws basing on Quintana 2, Verno, and Winky fights. I also think that if he does not have that size advantage he would probably be a good fighter only... but what can he do. He is born with it.

to be elite you would have had to have beaten the generally recognized "man" in your division.
Notice that Cotto and Margarito were in the backpages until Mayweather retired.

For the bold part... kind of agree. But I do consider the state of the opponent, like Calzaghe-Jones. In my opinion, that was just a nice addition to Calzaghe resume but not a career-defining fight.

Subject: [DPRG] DPRG monthly meeting & talk this Saturday December 10: David Anderson
From: David Anderson
davida at smu.edu
Date: Mon Dec 12 17:32:53 CST 2011
Thanks to Ron and Paul for the kind words and to Glen for recording and
posting the video. I had a great time Saturday. Hope this stuff is
Watching the video I see lots of mistakes... (base is isosceles
triangle, not equilateral) so maybe I need to make an addenda. I'll
make some notes and post them. Isosceles.
I was unable at the warehouse to demonstrate the robot perimeter
following due to a mechanical problem, but here are a couple of videos
that might be helpful in that regard. The first is the LegoBot
perimeter following an actual wall, using front-looking IR avoidance to
stay off the wall, and side looking SHARP IR distance detectors to
approach the wall:
I use the term "perimeter following" rather than "wall following"
because the perimeter my be loosely defined as the boundary around a
group of objects, rather than an actual wall. Here is LegoBot perimeter
following around the irregular perimeter of my office:
Here is the jBot perimeter following around part of the law school at
SMU, using forward looking Sonar to stay off the wall, foliage, etc ,
and side looking Sonar to approach the wall:
Perimeter following is a very powerful tool for solving all sorts of
problems. The last link is an annotated video of jBot switching between
navigation mode and perimeter following mode in order to navigate around
a large building complex that includes dead-end cul de sacs and other
similar "concave singularity" problems for the robot to solve.
The algorithm tries to attempt to acquire the target waypoint in
navigation mode, and it switches to perimeter following mode if it finds
that the target waypoint is directly behind the robot, switching back to
navigation mode when the waypoint is directly ahead of the robot. This
works very robustly to solve the waypoint trap problem we talked about
Thanks again to everyone that came out Saturday.
happy roboting,

The statewide bust called Operation Restore Hope began Tuesday, the culmination of a three-month effort to track the spread of online child pornography. It is a follow-up to an operation last year in which 27 people were arrested and more than 100 computers seized.
It homed in on computer users who share child pornography online for free, using peer-to-peer software, said John Whitaker, a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent who led the operation.
His office has so far pinpointed 50,000 separate IP addresses - the Web equivalent of a street address or phone number - that are trading child pornography. He said Georgia's tally is the fifth-highest number in the nation.
"Even though we have other problems in Georgia, this is a major problem here compared with other states," said Whitaker. "And we're trying our best to move forward with this operation with as many resources as we have."
The operation involved 24 local agencies, federal prosecutors offices and the state Attorney General's Office. It also included the FBI, the U.S. Secret Service, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Postal Service.
The arrests spanned the state. In southeast Georgia's Effingham County, for instance, two suspects were arrested on child pornography charges. And authorities in west Georgia's Paulding County said the sting netted them two arrests as well.
Whitaker said one of the more disturbing cases was in DeKalb County, where authorities found a child who said she had been sexually abused for the last eight years. The suspect, John Kemker, was charged with child sexual exploitation, incest and aggravated child molestation, DeKalb County Police spokeswoman Mekka Parish said.
State investigators, meanwhile, are already beginning to shift their focus to the next raid.
"It took us three months to gather our target list and now we're moving forward," Whitaker said. "We're going to wrap this one up and we'll start right on another one."

Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover Review
Dave Ramsey is a polarizing figure. Some people love him and swear by his advice and others think he's a hack. Which one is he? Unfortunately that's a question only you can answer but hopefully I will provide you with enough information about his flagship book to make your own decision.
The problem with personal finance is that there are multiple solutions to any one problem. If you think it's simply about math, you're wrong. Someone in credit card debt understands that when you use your credit card and don't pay your entire bill, you'll go into debt. They aren't stupid, they know how interest works, but there is a non-math reason why they're in debt.
If you had to boil down the book into a single sentence, then I'd say that Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover is a book that gives you a good framework to get yourself out of debt and back on solid financial footing.

Twitch is CREA International's first product design collection developed according to the Physical Brand Design® methodology for Celly spa and Underline.
A line which puts into play the mobility world with a range of accessories encompassing the tiny sudden gestures deriving from our daily frenzied link with technological devices.
As remarked in an interview on Affari Italiani.it by Mr. Alberto Pasquini, chairman and founder of CREA:
" While designing the collection we got inspired by that people's humanity we do belong to, who have always coexisted with the several nerve impulses of our routine. Independent twitches which relieve our minds from tension, such as the tic-tac of the Bic pen button which used to annoy teachers in the classroom in the 60's or snapping one's fingers... Whereas nowadays, slip we in and out our smartphones time after time to check who is calling."

MIAMI - Federal authorities charged 107 doctors, nurses, and social workers in seven cities with Medicare fraud Wednesday in a nationwide crackdown on unrelated scams that allegedly billed the taxpayer-funded program $452 million - the highest dollar amount in a single Medicare bust in U.S. history.
It was the latest in a string of major arrests in the last two years as authorities have targeted fraud that is believed to cost the government $60 billion to $90 billion a year. Stopping Medicare's budget from hemorrhaging that money will be key to paying for President Obama's health-care overhaul.

Jason Aldean has been on his Kinda Party for the last two summers, even reunited with tour mate Luke Bryan, who has been a concert companion since the beginning of each of their respective careers. Aldean even invited Bryan to support him on the Wide Open Tour in 2010. However, the party has come to an end and the country singer needs to begin celebrating a new album, his fifth.
While on the last legs of the My Kinda Party Tour in 2012, he will begin priming his audience for the subject of his next two years of touring, his as yet unreleased and untitled fifth album. There has been a taste alright, with "Take a Little Ride". The song is his classic mix of Southern rock and country pain. IT has also become a hit on the tour and could be the song that helps take the new album to number one.
This may seem a pointless observation with meaningless sentiment, but Aldean is at a crossroads in his career. Jason Aldean tickets are going to sell out each and every summer. He has the kind of sound that does not alienate the latest addition to the country audience, the people whose taste runs a little more rock than twang. What is not yet sure is whether Aldean is going to be able to back each of those North American tours up with a multi-platinum album.
Thus, he could become a man like Jimmy Buffett or Alan Jackson, a performer with a rabid live base but a waning listening audience. He has already established his dominance of the summer concert session, drawing every single blonde bombshell within a nights travel to pack venues throughout the United States and Canada. With attractive girls, come the guys and a lush life on the road. If Aldean wants to avoid having to spend every summer playing 50-plus shows then he needs to post a huge hit with this second album.
While country music may be the most listened to in the world, it also has the most artists, making each act easily replaceable on the shelf or on iTunes. To avoid being replaced and becoming a star of nostalgic stature, this fifth album released through Broken Bow Records must dominate and stay in the Top 10 in the Billboard 200 for more than just a week.

CHATHAM--After 30 years of policing the streets of Chatham Borough, Chief John Drake is retiring.
Drake, 59, will officially retire today, although he will remain on the department payroll on terminal leave until April 1.
In addition to Drake, Officer Scott Davis, the D.A.R.E. coordinator in Chatham, also retired this month. Both were honored at this week's borough council meeting.
Before coming to Chatham, Drake worked for the Randolph Police Department. He worked his way up through the ranks in Chatham, eventually being appointed to the chief position eight years ago.
In a resolution, the council commended Drake for his leadership in handling the recent murder of the Rev. Edward Hinds at St. Patrick Church in the borough.
Davis, who began work as a police dispatcher, retired on Dec. 11.
Drake will be replaced on an interim basis by Lt. Phillip Crosson until April 1, "at which point the council will appoint a permanent chief."

In fact, the pop singer's name should really stir up visions of more substantial food since she's a topnotch cook who was recently a guest judge on Top Chef. And she's a trained chef, too.
Back in 2008, Kelis took a break from her music career to attend the prestigious culinary school Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. "It was amazing," she tells PEOPLE. "It's the best thing I've done for myself in a long time."
The experience, which she describes as "full-on culinary college," helped her overcome her fear of baking. "Baking used to freak me out," she says. "Now I understand that it's a science. I can be as creative as I want to be but I can't be lackadaisical and whimsical. I'm not afraid of it anymore."
Which is why you'll often find the singer making her own bread or treating guests to all sorts of scrumptious desserts. Below she shares a go-to recipe for coconut pie – with a slight modification. (The singer makes her own homemade pie crust.)
"I learned it from my mom," she says. "I love coconut and it's so easy that I'm able to throw it together when people come over at the last minute. I usually make two at the same time because it goes so quickly."
Want to try Kelis' pie? Check out the recipe and make it yourself:
Joseph De Leo
Coconut Cream PieServes 8
1 9-inch frozen pie shell
3 cups milk, divided
1 cup plus 6 tablespoons sugar
½ tsp. salt
7 tbsp. cornstarch, divided
1 ½ cup sweetened flaked coconut, divided
3 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
3 egg whites
¼–tsp. cream of tarter
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Bake pie shell according to package instructions.
In a large saucepan combine 2 cups milk, 1 cup sugar and salt. Bring to boil over medium heat.
Meanwhile whisk remaining 1 cup milk and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a bowl.
Add to hot milk. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens, 3-4 minutes.
Add 1 cup coconut, butter and vanilla and cook, stirring, until mixture thickens again, 3-4 minutes. Pour into baked pie shell and cool while making meringue.
To make meringue, beat egg whites, remaining cornstarch and cream of tartar at high speed in an electric mixer until soft peaks form, 1-2 minutes. Add remaining sugar 1 tablespoon at a time and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, 5 minutes.
Spoon meringue onto pie, swirling to make soft peaks.
Top with remaining coconut and bake until meringue is browned and coconut is toasted, 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.

Editor's Note: The following is one of seven letters to the editor written by students at Ascension Academy in Amarillo. The writers are students of Cathy Lozano, a senior government teacher. All letters are related to the Texas governor's race and the Amarillo Globe-News endorsement of Greg Abbott in the GOP primary.
While there may be four GOP candidates in the primary, the Amarillo Globe-News outspokenly endorses only Greg Abbott.
While guest columnists are free to endorse their own candidate by writing an article for the paper, there are no professional writers telling the facts about the other three Republican gubernatorial candidates — and the other Democratic nominees, for that matter.
Therefore, is this humble news firm producing propaganda, or is it merely an opinion article?
Abbott is stated to be the best choice for governor, as if it was a fact everyone knew. However, is this strategy helping anyone? There should be articles that discuss all other candidates running for governor, with their views accurately told by a professional writer so that Amarillo citizens can make an educated decision for themselves — and not be told who to vote for.
A newspaper should inform citizens about current events — not tell them how they should interpret them.

She washes, she phone calls, she sets she folds she battles she finds
sigh sigh sigh
Fuller in the arms, hips round. I'm still breastfeeding, she excuses. Still breastfeeding. It will fall right off someday. Soft.
Remember cones next time.
They eat alone, together. She hides to breathe, to, the defeat in her eyes. Pleads. Let them only remember my victories.

Contactless finger scanner
The NEC Corporation introduces a device that simultaneously acquires fingerprint and finger vein characteristics without physical contact. The HS100-10 Contactless Hybrid Finger Scanner makes it difficult for impostors to deceive the authentication system, and the system's sensor is accurate even with exceptionally dry or moist fingers, which sometimes prove difficult for conventional contactbased fingerprint authentication devices to properly scan. The HS100-10 is compatible with major access management software, including IBM's Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On and Novell's Novell SecureLogin.

Protective stretch fabric
Working with one of its weaving partners, Kermel has developed a product designed to directly meet the expectations of law enforcement officers working in the field. The Stretch Kermel textile base, both elastic and thermostable, provides the right balance among comfort, safety, and aesthetics, while offering a high level of mechanical and technical performances. The elastic quality of the Stretch Kermel solution facilitates ease of movement and reduces the friction produced by more static fabrics. The lack of creasing decreases the prevelance of snags and accidents.
