One of the authors of this article (Tim) has been playing racquetball for about 30 years. During that time, he has been a member of several racquetball clubs -- it's a great way to acquire new playing partners and friends. In earlier days, when Tim felt like getting a little exercise, he walked up to someone who looked like he played at about the same level and engaged in the following typical exchange:
- Tim: Hello, want to play a game?
- Them: Sure, let's play.
- Game is played.
- Thank each other for a well played game, then exchange phone numbers for possible future games.
Today the process is pretty much the same with the exception of the last step. Nowadays (thanks to the near-ubiquity of on-line messaging), Tim and his new friend almost invariably exchange email addresses. No more dealing with answering machines; now Tim can just send potential partners an email. They may read it at the office or on a Palm/Blackberry device and send a reply in a few minutes -- and off they go to play.
This simple example illustrates the countless ways email is increasingly becoming the communication medium of choice; it is simple and quick and allows you to send a request and leave a message in one step. And thanks to SMTP, different email systems from different vendors can exchange messages relatively seamlessly over the Internet. Of course, the more open and accessible your email is, the more you need to be concerned with protecting your corporate systems and data from unauthorized access. One way to do this is by routing Internet email traffic through an intermediary network called a DMZ (demilitarized zone).
In this two-part article series, we explain how you can set up your Lotus Notes/Domino environment to route SMTP/Internet mail through a DMZ. We start by taking a look at how Lotus Notes mail and SMTP work internally. We'll also examine how a DMZ functions. In Part 2, we'll take a close look at setting up and using Domino with a DMZ. This article assumes that you're an experienced administrator with some familiarity with Lotus Notes and Domino (although even readers who are relatively new to Lotus products can follow along).
A brief history of Lotus Notes mail
In late 1989, Lotus released the first version of Lotus Notes. It had a messaging system included as part of its architecture (and of course, still does). This advanced messaging system was built around a set of internal routers that read a user directory and then determined the delivery path of each message.
As smart as Lotus Notes was, it initially did not have the capability to send or receive SMTP messages. So in release 3, a "gateway service" became available as an add-on. This gateway provided basic connectivity to other SMTP-based systems on the Internet. It processed messages to and from the Internet via a foreign domain document and a special database. After processing, the gateway converted the message to Notes document format, and then delivered it to the addressee. However, complete message fidelity was not guaranteed between Lotus Notes and SMTP mail. The messages were rendered as plain text within the Notes body field. Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) multi-part objects (both text and binary) were converted to attachments within the message. Due to limitations in the gateway, nested multi-part objects were "flattened" and converted as a separate attachment. Overall, the gateway was functional, but not entirely optimal when it came to message translation.
Improved Internet mail support came with Lotus Notes release 4 and the SMTP MTA, another add-on product. This provided much closer integration than the release 3 gateway provided. The Lotus Notes release 4 SMTP MTA provided a series of inbound and outbound work queues to process each message. Message fidelity was still not perfect, but it was much improved over release 3 as was MIME support. Lotus Domino 4.5 provided further advancements. This included SMTP/MIME via the SMTP MTA. There were also several enhancements for Web and Post Office Protocol (POP) support. But the SMTP service included with release 4.5 was still effectively an add-on component and was still based on queues (inbound and outbound).
Lotus Domino 5 fully resolved these issues and brought Lotus Notes into the world of native Internet standards. Release 5 gave full MIME fidelity and eliminated the old queue system for SMTP mail routing. New features for SMTP management and configuration were also included in the directory-based configuration with a number of release 4 Notes.ini settings replaced by settings in the configuration documents. This improved architecture provided a solid base for Lotus Notes/Domino 6 to build on, and today Lotus Notes/Domino provides world-class SMTP mail architecture.
Figure 1. Lotus Notes/Domino 6 SMTP architecture
Notes/Domino 6 SMTP mail routing services are built into the product; there are no more inbound and outbound work queues. The process is very simple:
- A message (Notes or SMTP-based) is created on the clientâs local network.
- The user sends the message via the Domino 6 server.
- Lotus Domino executes a TCP/IP DNS (Domain Name System) resolution and finds the target server.
- The message is transferred to the target recipientâs server, and then delivered to the recipient.
As you can see, it's a relatively straightforward process. (For more information on the history of Notes, please refer to the developerWorks: Lotus article, "The History of Notes and Domino.")
SMTP mail routing
SMTP mail routing to the target server is done through a DNS entry known as a mail exchange (MX) record, which is defined in RFC1035. MX records are used to specify the inbound email servers responsible for any particular SMTP domain name. Each MX record points to the name of an email server and holds a preference number for that server. If a domain name is handled, then multiple email servers use a separate MX record for each email server, and each preference number then determines the order in which other email servers should use these servers. Preference values are calculated with lower numbers having the higher priority. When sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, the email server must first look up any MX records for thecompany.xyz to see which email servers handle incoming email for this domain. The value returned is the names of the email servers that have MX records assigned to that domain. The format of the MX record in DNS is:
name IN MX preference host
Here is an example of mail for a domain being directed to specific SMTP server machines:
Thecompany.xyz MX 10 serverC.smtp.thecompany.xyz
Thecompany.xyz MX 20 serverB.smtp.thecompany.xyz
In the previous example, the MX records are configured to accept mail for firstname.lastname@example.com and to attempt to direct it to the host (serverC.smtp.thecompany.xyz) because the MX record directing mail to serverC.smtp.thecompany.xyz has the lower reference value. If serverC.smtp.thecompany.xyz is unreachable at the time of delivery, the mail is directed to the next lowest preference mail server. In this example, serverB.smtp.thecompany.xyz is the one.
Figure 2. MX records in action
This is an important concept. If you understand Lotus Notes Named Networks (also known as Domino Named Networks), then there are conditions in which Notes mail will route alphabetically. This is not the case with SMTP mail routing; MX records are routing mechanisms as specified in a DNS.
SMTP vulnerabilities
If there is a potential issue with SMTP mail routing, it's that it's very simple. So simple in fact that evil doers have taken advantage of the simplicity of the SMTP protocol to do things such as:
- Spam
In the off-chance you have been living on Mars, spam is the common name for unsolicited "junk" email sent to large groups of people to promote some type of product or service. Spam wastes your time, increases the load on all SMTP servers, and eats up disk space on your messaging servers.
- SMTP relaying
The original design of SMTP included a concept known as SMTP relay. SMTP mail can be sent from a user hosted on ServerA to ServerB, which will relay the message to ServerC. Then ServerC can deliver the message to the recipient or transfer it to another server. Overall, this is an excellent architecture. However, spammers can use relays to bounce messages to other servers and have those server route the mail to the targeted user.
- Address spoofing
"Spoofing" occurs when an unauthorized user sends email under someone else's name. It is very easy to spoof an SMTP address, and it can be difficult to stop. Malicious users can set the from and sendto fields in a message to anything they want. (For more information on spoofing, see the developerWorks: Lotus article, "Lessons in secure messaging using Domino 6.")
Lotus Notes/Domino offers a number of features designed to help prevent spammers from taking advantage of these potential vulnerabilities. These features are described in the two-part article series, "Controlling spam: Advanced SMTP settings in Lotus Domino, Part 1" and "Controlling spam: Advanced SMTP settings in Lotus Domino, Part 2." In this article, we discuss another way that you can help control SMTP traffic in your messaging environment. This involves setting up a trusted network with a DMZ.
Anatomy of a spam attack
A typical spammer technique is to generate spam with fake from addresses and to use a known list of sendto address and/or just guess at an address. This all starts with the "local" part of the email address and the domain suffix. The domain suffix is the portion of the Internet address that follows the @ symbol. The local part is the actual name that you use to make the user unique. For example, in the address email@example.com, Bubba is the local part and thisisamailserver.xyz is the domain suffix.
Spammers can easily harvest email addresses directly from the Internet. To see how, try this: Go to Google.com and type either
inurl:"@<your company email domain suffix>" or
intext:â @<your company email domain suffix>" in the search field. For example, if your email address is bubba@the company.xyz, type
inurl:"@thecompany.xyz". You will then see a listing of sites that contain email addresses with your company's domain name in them.
This is a very simple form of address harvesting; many more sophisticated ones exist. The point is that there are millions of SMTP addresses just waiting to be found on the Internet. Spammers also often use a program that opens a list (or even a directory) of words and that mixes and matches those words with numbers to create potential email addresses (for instance, Mike, Smith, MikeSmith, SmithMike, and so on). The program then mixes the computed local part with a domain suffix, yielding addresses such as firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com, and so on.
Now that spammers have obtained potential addresses, they can start looking for an open relay. This is often relatively easy: Create a program to find a server listening on TCP port 25 (SMTP). Once found, a simple test determines whether or not the relay is enabled. If so, the spammer can use this server to route mail by creating a series of messages using the addresses found/created, entering a fake name into the from field, and sending the messages out to the Internet via the relay. A target site may accept the message if the address matches the sendto name; if the message is accepted, it is then delivered to the computed user's mailbox. If the message is not accepted, then it can be bounced back to the from address, meaning some poor innocent user or company may be inundated with non-delivery reports (NDR).
To test for open SMTP relays, use Telnet. This terminal emulation program allows you to enter commands on your PC and have them executed on the server as though they were entered directly at the server console. Telnet lets you enter SMTP commands that check whether or not you can send messages to target addresses. For instance, you can open Telnet and issue the following SMTP commands:
HELO <fake.domain> MAIL FROM: <firstname.lastname@example.com> RCPT TO: <email@example.com> DATA <text message followed by a period> QUIT
If the message is delivered to the target address <email@example.com>, then the relay is enabled. If not, you will see the following error message:
554 Relay rejected for policy reasons
This is very important â in the Notes 4 SMTP MTA, the message is accepted into the inbound work queue. Then a Notes.ini variable is checked; if the relay is disabled, the message is rejected and sent to the outbound work queue. Next, the SMTP MTA attempts to send an NDR back to the user listed in the from field. In some cases, this architecture can result in large numbers of dead messages being stuck in the MTA. Release 5 and Lotus Notes/Domino 6 are much smarter and will not process the message if the relay is disabled.
Threats to the SMTP hosting server
The hosting server is the device that runs the SMTP service. This can run on virtually any operating system; many enterprise companies use servers based on Windows, Linux, UNIX, AIX, AS400, and others. Each of these has its own set of vulnerabilities. You need to work with your security team to "harden" each of these operating systems.
There are also network vulnerabilities. These include denial of service attacks, TCP/IP attacks, and address spoofing (which we mentioned earlier). The book, "Enterprise Directory and Security Implementation Guide: Designing and Implementing Directories in Your Organization," offers a detailed explanation of the issues and the various types of attacks.
In summary, the server can be a weak point in your SMTP architecture, and you need to protect it. The worst case scenario is that you will lose control of your SMTP server to a spammer or hacker, who then uses that machine to attack your trusted network. A hacker could also obtain access directly to your network and execute a denial of service attack on your trusted network.
The trusted network and the DMZ
A trusted network is the network that a company uses to conduct internal business. In many cases, the trusted network is by default defined in the organization as secure. The trusted network typically supports the back-end systems, internal-only Web pages, data processing, messaging, internal directories, and internal instant messaging.
In many companies, the trusted network allows interaction between internal systems directly without encryption. (We don't recommend this; it's just an observation.) Also, various protocols can exist within the trusted network without any type of filtering or even virus scanning. The problem with this is that many assumptions are being made by these companies. In reality, a trusted network is not always a secure network. In fact, in many cases the trusted network cannot be trusted! The reason is that an internal network is comprised of many different networks. These include new acquisitions, old acquisitions, international access points, and even access points to the outside world.
A common practice is to define the trusted network as the network that internal employees use when at the office or via a secure controlled remote access method (dial-up, IPSec, SSLVPN, RAS, and others). An access point is then established to the outside world via a mechanism called the DMZ (short for demilitarized zone, a military term for a barrier through which no one is supposed to cross without permission). A DMZ is an isolated network placed as a buffer between a company's trusted network and the outside. The primary goal of the DMZ is to limit access to the trusted network.
The DMZ is very important to an SMTP service. The features that a DMZ can provide include:
- Passive eavesdropping/packet sniffing prevention
- Application-layer attack prevention
- Filtering and managing denial of service attacks
- IP address spoofing prevention
- Port scans
- Limiting access to the trusted network via a single protocol
- Spam management
- Control of email messages based on size and even content
- Virus scanning (inbound and outbound)
- Limiting messages based on Internet domain suffix
- Network and port translation
- TCP/IP termination
Figure 3 shows a DMZ in action:
Figure 3. DMZ with SMTP hosted services
In the preceding diagram:
- A message is ready for routing at a remote server on the Internet.
- The remote server looks up the domain suffix of the recipient via the Internet DNS, and then resolves the MX record.
- After the address is resolved, the remote server establishes a TCP/IP connection to the target server on port 25 and communicates with the target server using SMTP commands.
- After all of the SMTP connection rules have passed and the SMTP service allows the connection, the message is transferred to the SMTP service.
- The SMTP service accepts the message on the default port 25. Depending on the service and equipment, it may scan for a virus and/or execute other tests.
- If the tests are passed, the SMTP service device transfers the message to the Domino SMTP servers.
- The message is transferred from the SMTP service device on port 2222. (We picked this number randomly; you can use virtually any port number higher than well known port ranges.)
- The Domino SMTP servers check the connection from the SMTP service device and check the incoming message against any rules it has configured.
- If all of the Notes/Domino 6 server rules pass, the message addresses are validated in the Domino Directory and routed via Notes NRPC to the trusted network on a (ideally encrypted) Notes port 1352 connection.
- The Domino servers receive the message, and then transfer it as needed to other servers in the Domino domain.
The path out is the same as the one in; the only difference is that, in this example, the SMTP service device performs the MX record lookup.
Point-of-Presence sites
A Point-of-Presence site is a location at which some form of connectivity to the Internet is provided. Smaller organizations typically only have one Point-of-Presence site. Large enterprises may have several, especially those that operate on a global scale. The following diagram illustrates this concept.
Figure 4. Point-of-Presence site
In the preceding illustration, Location A and Location B are two Point-of-Presence sites connecting the Internet to a company's internal WAN environment. In this case, the locations may be on different continents, or they may be in the same office building. Regardless of the physical distance between them, they have independent Internet connections via independent ISPs.
Having multiple official Point-of-Presence sites allows an organization to provide resilience and load balancing in their mail routing architecture. This affords better usage of resources and protection should one of the Point-of-Presence sites lose connectivity for any reason, such as a major network outage, a problem at the ISP, or a natural disaster. The goal is to provide multiple inbound and outbound paths between the Internet and the internal Domino mail service so that mail can always be routed in either direction. Multiple "unofficial" Point-of-Presence sites within your organization can raise a possible security issue. Each Point-of-Presence site must be maintained and monitored to ensure it does not provide unauthorized entry into your corporate environment. Too many sites (especially ones that are not carefully controlled) may allow a way for hackers to get in.
In this article, we examined the basics of SMTP mail and its potential vulnerabilities. We also introduced you to the concept of the DMZ and how you can use it to address some of these vulnerabilities. In the conclusion of this article series, we'll expand on this theme, looking at ways you can incorporate a DMZ into your Domino SMTP environment.

Hey, I have the exact same problem. Since the beginning of
Mama's Boy
, I've been planning this ultra mega super huge plot twist. It's an unexpectable event that turns everything upside down for a while and everything, so ever since I posted the prologue, I've been feeling like spoiling it. In fact, I'm having a hard time resisting the urge right now. Although, I don't think many of you read MB, so it wouldn't be that bad... Right? I can tell you, right? RIGHT?
But, well, I try to direct that spoiling energy into writing the fic until I actually reach the awesome stuff I want to spoil. Right now, my huge twist is two chapters away and I'm currently writing it, but I notice that I've piled too much expectations on myself. I'm scared that I'll blow the whole thing with my over-enthusiasm.
After that, I'll write tons of battles. Yeeeah, battles. I don't write enough of those right now. My fics are static.

And yes, I'm fine if it goes either the happy or tragic route.

Ahhh. I'm writing a piece of fantasy-ish original fiction right now, and it has nothing to do with saving the world from an evil overlord. However, almost all fantasy novels have epic endings where the hero saves the world with his (or hers, but mostly his) POWER OF LIGHT/GOOD/LOVE/whatnot, and I get the feeling people won't like my story because only individual lives are saved. YOU GIVE ME HOPE! Someone agrees that not all stories have to be epic ;_; Being epic would really ruin the whole story in this case, because it doesn't suit the protagonist at all.
That said, I definitely prefer happy endings. I like my endings happy at least on some level. There can be sad things, maddening things and so on, but I hate it when books or movies or series end in a sad way (DAMN YOU
!), because I tend to think the ending over for weeks and sometimes I even cry because of it. That's not nice. I don't like it. I want at least somewhat happy endings, please.
It's so unfulfilling to read three hundred pages and find out that the character gets killed because of their mistakes or that in fact nobody survived. Or that the bad guy went unpunished and bad things happened to the protagonists who tried their best. Or something like that. Sometimes it is a good way to add power to the teaching of the story, though.

I've heard from several people that you can scrap useless or worn out brass for decent money. I have also heard that you can sell spent primers for scrap too. Is there any truth to this? If there is, how much is scrap case brass worth?

This topic again? I already troll another thread like this but fail miserably. Totally lives up to my name, I'm so proud of myself.
So Kuroyukihime's papa is Kirito. Welp, they both love games, makes perfect sense.
Now I'm absolutely sure Ulquiorra is L in afterlife.
Aizen is Clark Kent. Obviously.
Izaya is the illegitimate son of Lelouch. Can't be wrong.
Kirito is a descendant of Guts. The Black Swordsman.
Claude Faustus is Peter Parker. Obviously.
Patrick Star is the son of Majin Buu. I knew it!

Finally someone with the same thoughts as mine. I don't really see any charm in Kuroyukihime don't why people fawn over her. Haru and Taku are ok but i can't stand the female protagonists. Kirito and Asuna are way better.

The thing is, they are both in the same Universe. And with Kawahara keeping everything a mystery, there's a pretty high chance that they are her parents >_< This is why I hate series with sequels where it's decades apart from the original one. The sequal always ruins the original prequel. Eg, Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, the characters and the plot are pretty damn awful.....

the real question is who's the mother? seeing as he has his own harem empire
It's harem only in the minds of the fans. Kirito has only one girlfriend, and that's Asuna. Even at the end of Alicization (web novel version) is still that way.

All details about the connection are still speculation and just trivial facts until Kawahara has presented concrete evidence between the two works. As of vol10 of AW, he said in the Afterwords that "there is no clear connection between the two works".
So until he says so, I'm still on the side that says there's no connection.
and until he clearly says their is absolutely no connection then it means people will continue on speculating and so people like me will take those growing trivial hints as increasing the chances of it to be true
and their is another hint again i mention on another forum - http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=4353385&postcount=76
and that their is no evidence of Kuroyukihimes real parents too said by a light novel reader - http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=4353441&postcount=81
so still the speculations will continue until concretely proven wrong

Why I think Kuroyukihime is mine and Asuna's daughter:
1. Kuroyukihime has black hair which is the same color as mine so it's in the genes
2. I have printed out a full blown poster of Asuna which I've taped to my pillow(because I can't afford a Dakimakura), so sooner or later I know we concepted as I didn't use protection
3. Asuna is my e-girl not yours...hands off
4. I use Vorpral strains when I am in the toilet
5. I am watching both series and reading the LN for SAO which is the same as having them both written by same author
6 Asuna is my e-girl not yours...really...hands off

Heres a interesting theory from kasuka.net
I just started reading the Alicization Beginning arc of Sword Art Online aka Volume 9. It was supposedly translated by Teh_Ping two weeks ago, but final exams prohibited me from getting around to reading it. I also haven't been able to read New Testament 4 of To Aru Majutsu no Index. This week's Accel World raised an interesting point in which I wanted to talk about. Kuroyukihime elaborated upon the most important bond in Accel World , which is the bond between the person who gives brain burst and the person who ends up installing brain burst. This master/protege relationship is especially potent as each side knows the true identity of each other, so repercussions in the Accel World have great reverberations in the real world. While the bond can be benevolent and almost loving, the counter also holds true.
In the latest episode, Kuroyukihime vents her hatred of her master. In the Accel World novels, the reason behind her hate isn't revealed yet. Neither is her true name.
The theory that I have is that Kirito and Asuna from Sword Art Online are Kuroyukihime 's parents. If you look closely at Aincrad's Kirito and Black Lotus, they share many similar traits such as dual swords and the color 'black.'
Now, I will begin to lay out the foundation for this theory and elucidate some of my speculations.
The setting of the third arc of Sword Art Online, Gun Gale Online, takes place in the year 2026, two years after the events of the Old Aincrad. The beginning of Accel World takes place in the year 2046, 20 years after GGO. In the GGO arc, Kirito was 16 while Asuna was 17. Supposing that Kirito and Asuna get married when they are 22-23, Kuroyukihime would be around 13-14 years old in the year 2046. This matches up with her being in her second year of middle school at the beginning of Accel World .
Second of all, Kuroyukihime has mentioned in the anime that her real name isn't too much different from her moniker 'Kuroyukihime.' Asuna's full name is Asuna Yuuki. It is highly possible that Kirito and Asuna decided to name their child Yuuki due to events in volume 7, Mother's Rosario.
Third of all, her name essentially means "Princess Snow Black." The black part probably comes from Kirito while the princess portion comes from her mother, Asuna. Asuna's father is the CEO of the electronics company RECTO which manufactures fulldive products. Rich ojous of families are often called "princesses," so Kuroyukihime bestowing this name upon herself isn't too far fetched.
Fourth of all, in the seventh volume, Kirito invented some kind of camera at school which can capture real space and replicate it as virtual space and vice versa for the girl with AIDS, Yuuki . This sounds awfully similar to the neutral world in Brain Burst. Yuuki , the girl who died in the medicube testing, had a deep emotional connection with Asuna. So, with regard to what I said before for the naming of Kirito and Asuna's child, Yuuki being Kuroyukihime's real name and the daughter of the Kirito and Asuna is very, very possible.
Fifth of all, throughout the side stories and Mother's Rosario, Kirito has a part time job in which he tests fulldive products in conjunction with quantum theory. In a side story, he actually traveled to the future and dueled with a level 5 Silver Crow and defeated him (it doesn't specifically say that Kirito won since the quantum field ran out at the last minute, but please, Kirito is a badass). Kirito may have drawn inspiration from this battle and created Brain Burst as a result.
The things that don't exactly match up are that Sky Raker in Accel World call Kuroyukihime "Saa-chan," which is nowhere near the name of Yuuki unless Saa-chan is some kind of nickname. Another thing that doesn't match up is that Kirito is technically dead in Alicization beginning since he was "killed" by a real life Laughing Coffin member. He fulldived without NERvGear into the "Underworld." I'm not sure what this exactly entails, but from what I've read about other side stories post Alicization, Kirito's harem travels into the Underworld to join/rescue him.
However, the similarities between the Underworld and the Accel World are numerous. A small amount of time in either area is an exorbitant amount of time in reality. In both places, there is an all out war between factions.
The only reason that I can come up with which explains the hate that Kuroyukihime harbors for Kirito would be that Kirito and Asuna both "abandoned" her to live in the Underworld. There may be other reasons in which they chose to live there that include being protectors of humanity or promise eternal life. The Underworld might even be heaven. Anyway, the only way that Burst Linkers in Accel World can meet the creators of Brain Burst is to reach the Underworld, which is possibly on a higher plane compared to the Accel World. As far as I know, that means achieving level 10 in the Accel World.
So ends my theory for linking the stories of SAO and AW together through the vehicle of Kuroyukihime.
Seems like a legitimate theory. Especailly with some of the minor details like both kuroyukihime using two similar moves to kirito. Which I hadn't even noticed since the anime doesn't state the name of the attacks for the most part.Could just be a coincidence involving the writers getting lazy with naming but still interesting connection. Now I haven't read last last two volumes after kirito last encounter with Laughing Coffin so I can't agree about the Underworld concept just because as far as I know it makes little sense.Now my main question is what the hell caused kuroyukihime trauma. Pretty sure Kirito and Asuna would make a least decent parents.
" I remember in the novel that Kirito did say that he is trying to find a way to make Yui into a real person and he says that it may be possible.So,lets say Kirito succeeded in that matter.And Kuroyukihime might be Yui." Also this theory would be the most amazing m night twist.

SeerHu said:This has been mentioned in the anime though.
But I want to ask a question, Could I ask why the ending of accel world leaves Biggest Mystery of Who is Creator of Brain Burst ?
Brain Burst is a very powerful program. Using the acceleration, you can do many things like cheat in a test, react faster in competitions and stuff. With such a powerful program, it can make a big impact on society. It's been out for 7 or 8 years already and yet it's still a hidden thing to the public because of the memory wipe when it is uninstalled. Plus only teenagers 15 years old or younger can use it.
That's why KYH is searching for the answer as to why BB was created, what purpose does it serve and why is it kept a secret.
Maybe is the last vestige of Kayaba Akihiko work, who knows... since the two stories happen in the same context it could be posible.

Let's not forget that Hiro Mashima finished his work on Rave before even starting Fairy Tail. Plus Kawahara is a completely different author so they style of writing, i.e. including or not including other pieces of work in a story, is dependent on what the author wants. I'm not saying that SAO and AW are connected, but I will admit that there is interest in the author's approach to write the stories at the same time while leaving hints that may connect them without directly mentioning if they're related. Anyways personally I would love to see the stories connect. It's an interesting approach that any writer could use in my opinion.

Well actually i think that Kuroyukihime isn't the daughter of Kirito and Asuna.
Because, i think that Kirito and Asuna are supposed to care to their daughter. But actually, in episode 4 of AW when Kuroyukihime got an accident and went to a hospital, the only person that came isn't her father. So i don't really think that they are Kuroyukihime's parents.

By Rob Barnett
Ashley Giles admits it would be asking a lot to give Jamie Overton or Chris Jordan an international debut versus Australia, but stresses he would do so because they are good enough.
Seamers Overton, 19, and Jordan, 24, could come in for the third NatWest Series one-day international at Edgbaston tomorrow, or later during the five-game rubber that England trail 1-0 in.
The youngsters are in the squad with a view to trying them out ahead of the 2015 World Cup, and while Stuart Broad plus James Anderson are rested and Tim Bresnan is injured.
"You don't get ready-made replacements for Broad, Bresnan, Anderson. So again the exposure is crucial," limited-overs head coach Giles said.
"It's hard on these young guys at times because we're asking them to do a lot, but we're asking them to do it because we believe they can.
"And if this exposure goes the right way, we've got a much greater pool of players for 2015 because we just never know what's round the corner, whether it be injury, retirements in some cases, so we have to be prepared for everything."
Having seen them in county action, Giles has had over a week now to work with Somerset's Overton and Sussex's Jordan in training.
"Already having them around the group is really beneficial to us, me as the head coach, obviously David Saker as a bowling coach and to them surely for the experience?" he added.
"Overton's raw, he's got pace, he's aggressive, fits with our profile of big, tall, nasty fast bowlers.
"Jordan's also been very impressive. He bowls good lengths, can bat, fields everywhere. I'm building him up into being a superstar already, which I don't mean to do for him, but they're two very promising young cricketers coming through the ranks.
"We had to rest some of our senior bowlers this series with back-to-back Ashes and it's a great opportunity to look at these young guys."
While Overton and Jordan are yet to get a game in the NatWest Series, or in the victory over Ireland that preceded it, Michael Carberry, previously uncapped in one-day internationals, is opening the batting alongside Kevin Pietersen while regular pair Alastair Cook and Ian Bell rest.
Giles said: "It's a very exciting side to come watch play still: Kevin Pietersen, Michael Carberry's a very exciting batter at the top of the order, inexperienced again, then you go (Jonathan) Trott, (Joe) Root, (Eoin) Morgan. (Ravi) Bopara, (Jos) Buttler. That's some good names to come and watch - (Steven) Finn - and then you've got the youngsters.
"I hope the cricketing public will also want to see us bring through some of our young cricketers and expose them to what is almost the harshest of environments, playing Australia."
Adam Voges is among the Australia side - ranked second a place ahead of England - aiming to double the lead they built with an 88-run win at Emirates Old Trafford on Sunday after Friday's washout at Headingley.
Voges played in the tourists' two ODIs at Edgbaston during June's Champions Trophy, a 48-run loss to England and a no-result with New Zealand that led to Australia failing to progress from Group A.
"Hopefully the weather holds off for us tomorrow," he said in mind of the mixed forecast for the day/nighter.
"We didn't have quite the Champions Trophy campaign that we would have liked to have, particularly the game here against England we didn't play well at all, but I thought we were better against New Zealand until the weather came.
"As I said before, tomorrow is just a real opportunity for us. We've played really well in this first game and hopefully we can take that into tomorrow and really apply some pressure on England."

I've just started having a problem with books I'm reading via my Dropbox account. It seems I can only access them when wifi is on. They load into memory fine but when I move off the book - go to the Nook home screen - the book is gone and I have to go back into Dropbox to reload it. My page is remembered when I reopen it.
It doesn't show up in "My Files" or on the "Keep Reading" list or anywhere else. I know in the past my Dropbox reads were on the home screen and in My Files, etc. They also showed up in the Keep Reading list. I had no problems with the last book from my Dropbox account I read which was just a few days ago.
Is anyone else experiencing this? It's really frustrating not to be able to go back to my book without turning on wifi, starting the Dropbox app and reloading it into memory. Can anyone help? Thanks.
You are probably "opening" the file from the Dropbox folder by touching the EPUB file... That's temporary...
You need to "Download" the book from Dropbox (press and hold, then Select "Download" from the popup window). Once you've downloaded the file, go to your Dropbox folder under My Files. You'll find the EPUB file.... touch to open.
After I open the book, I add it to my Now Reading shelf, so I can find it to reopen easily at a later time.

Pros: Very good RAM for the price range, stuck it in my ASRock 970 Extreme4 and it worked great! For a little while... (See cons)
Cons: While the RAM did work fantastic, I unfortunately got a blue screen within the first week of using the RAM telling me that it was corrupt. I found out what stick it was that was dead and have been running on only one stick of 2gbs for a few months now, it is working fine for only 2gbs.. But I am very displeased that my product was indeed DOA.
Other Thoughts: I bought this RAM along with my new build a few months ago, and I couldn't send it back because I had to have a computer to use, even if it was only with 2gbs. Now I have a free margin of time I could deal with RMA and I would really appreciate if I could get that. Hopefully the customer support is as good as the products they make..READ FULL REVIEW

Having planned this cruise for well over a year, my wife and I, (experienced cruisers with 15 cruises under our belt) and our friends who had never been on a cruise before, were eagerly anticipating our first cruise on a Regent ship. From all the reviews, our friends were starting at the top, and would forever look at lesser cruise lines with disdain. The reviews were right, to a point.
We originally had planned to do a Mediterranean cruise with Regent during this time period, but opted to sail the Caribbean yet again for $3000 less. The all inclusiveness and small size of the ship was what initially attracted us to Regent. Having sailed on both larger and smaller ships in the past, the smaller ships are much more appealing for a many reasons, not the least of which is the better personal service, ability to visit smaller less crowded ports, and passenger to crew ratio.
Our cabin on deck 6 was very roomy and at the bow of the ship. In fact it was the roomier than a suite we had on the Dawn Princess. The downside was that there was no balcony, only a large window which was beside an outside deck. Only Crew members used this deck, so we had to remember to close the curtains for privacy. Being in the bow, noise and vibrations from the anchor being lowered nearly knocked us out of bed early in the morning on two occasions. The air conditioning in this suite was also very loud, but it didn't keep us awake. The beds are very comfortable, but the duvet was a bit heavy for my liking. The carpeting in this suite had seen better days, and the furniture was a little worn and tired for this calibre of ship. This suite also had two televisions, one in the sitting area, and one in the bedroom area, which could be curtained off to make two separate rooms if desired. The bathroom was also very large, and had both a shower and separate bath tub, which us unheard of on most ships.
The in-suite tv offerings were the usual cruise ship channels with port and excursion info. The satellite channels were mediocre and offered nothing for Canadians, or other non-Americans other than U.S. news channels with talking heads and political pundits. The minibar was adequate, but some in-suite snicky snacks would have been welcomed.
Our friends were in another category on a higher deck, and had many more perks, including a butler, than us lesser passengers down in steerage. While they paid a premium fir these extras, I'm not sure that they felt they got that much extra value for the extra dollars. For instance, WiFi was supposedly included in their category, but apparently only one half hour. Extra usage sane at a fist of $1.00 a minute. In my opinion, WiFi should be available and included for all passengers on this ship. To charge extra is nickel and diming, and us what we were trying to get away from by paying more up front by sailing on Regent.
The food and Compass Rose dining room service for the most part, was excellent. Prime 7, the "reservation only" steak and seafood restaurant, was excellent as well, and we were able to eat there twice. The Italian restaurant Sette Mari, was not so great. Being half table service and half buffet, doesn't quite work and the service in this restaurant was at times slow, and orders were frequently mixed up or wrong. The quality of the food, however was consistent with the other restaurants on board.
The entertainment was a pleasant surprise. Typically, we avoid the shows on board because they are so predictable and just not of interest due to the fact that they are designed for a much older demographic. The broadway show and the age of Aquarius show were really good. The cirque d soli style show was good if you like hoops and rings and people hanging from the ceiling (I don't and slept through most of it). The pianist was terrible and very cheesy. Any pianist that builds his act around "chopsticks" needs to be skipped. There needs to be more entertainment that would appeal to the under 60 set, although I realize we were probably in the minority amongst the blue rinse set.
The excursions were adequate, given that they are included, but are not exceptional. There is a bit of misrepresentation by Regent when they advertise "unlimited" shore excursions, because most excursions typically are in the morning, and because of the limited time in port only one excursion per day can be scheduled. At only one port (St. Martin) were we able to do both a morning and afternoon excursion.
One disappointment we had was because of a two hour delay in leaving Turks and Caicos due to a medical emergency disembarkation. This meant a two hour delay in arrival at San Juan the next day....which meant our excursion, a highly anticipated 5 hour hike through El Yunke rain forest, was cancelled. I can't imagine that the timing between departure and arrival at two ports is so close a two hour delay can't be made up over the course of a night by putting the "pedal to the metal", so to speak. I suspect that the captain was reluctant to run the engines faster than the usual 18 knot cruising speed at their top speed of 22 knots because of the resulting vibrations (mentioned at length in other posts). Other ships I've been on have kept to their schedule despite greater delays than this. The delay also extended to our departure from San Juan because refuelling was also delayed for some unknown reason?...
Transfers from airport to pre cruise hotel/hotel to port, embarkation and disembarkation, and port back to airport were quick and very well organized. Not the usual "cattle call" experienced on larger ships.
Al in all a very enjoyable cruise. Would we cruise again on Regent? Yes, most definitely....if we win a lottery.....but not on the Navigator, and not in the Caribbean.

Greber Plan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|Part of a series on
|History of Ottawa
|Historical individuals
The Greber Plan, or General Report on the Plan for the National Capital (1946–1950), was an urban plan developed in 1950 by Jacques Gréber for the Federal District Commission of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Its main components were:
- planning the region as an integrated system
- making the Capital symbolize the whole country
- relocating the rails from central Ottawa
- improving transportation
- decentralizing government offices
- creating a scenic parkway system and restoring shorelines
- creating the National Capital Greenbelt
- expanding Gatineau Park (formed in 1938)
A memorial tree and plaque unveiled on 5 May 1995 is dedicated to Canadians killed in Second World War: "The MacKenzie King Government dedicated the planning of the National Capital to the memory of Canadians who gave their lives to the Nation in the Second World War. (Greber Report) This Memorial Tree was planted in Grasshopper Knoll-Kilborn Park, Ottawa, Ontario on May 5, 1995 to honour those brave Canadians. Take a moment, feel the peace and consider their sacrifice.".[1]

As the end of the Supreme Court term approached, decisions came down fast and furious. Last week's big decisions, at least around our nerdish water cooler, were Halliburton and Fifth Third Bancorp v. Dudenhoeffer. (Yes, we know that there were major rulings on Obamacare, public unions, buffer zones, digital copyright, recess appointments and the groundbreaking cell phone warrant case that my twelve-year old daughter tried to cite until I either astounded or bored her with an explanation of state action and, just in case, issued a warrant for my wife to review the poor girl's Pinterest account).
Fifth Third is one of those decisions that starts off really poorly (or really well, depending on which side of the "v" you happen to be on), gets worse (or better) for a while, and then suddenly turns about to be pretty good (or pretty bad). That's probably about the way that James Madison felt when reading Marbury v. Madison.
Fifth Third involves ESOPs (Employee Stock Ownership Plans), creatures of ERISA. ESOPs are tax-deferred retirement plans that are managed by fiduciaries who have all of the same duties as ERISA fiduciaries, save one: they do not have the duty to diversify their portfolios. And that makes sense because the whole purpose of an ESOP is to invest primarily in the company's own stock.
Of course, bad things happen occasionally, stock prices fall, and employees who were heavily invested in their companies' ESOPs lose a lot of money. Class actions follow, typically alleging that the plan fiduciaries breached their duties of prudence by not selling the company stock, continuing to buy the company stock, or not disclosing material non-public information to "correct" the company's stock price. Over the years, in many of the Circuits, a presumption arose that ESOP fiduciaries' decisions to buy or hold company stock were prudent. This presumption became known as the "presumption of prudence," which may or may not also be the title of an Agatha Christie mystery. The presumption, in most of the Circuits, could be rebutted only by a showing that the fiduciary acted while the company was in dire financial condition, bordering on collapse.
Without getting too deeply into the weeds, as a result of the subprime mortgage meltdown, many Fifth Third employees who had invested in the company's ESOP lost a significant amount of their retirement income when the price of Fifth Third shares declined precipitously. In the complaint, some of those employees on behalf of a purported class alleged that by July 2007, the fiduciaries "knew or should have known that Fifth Third's stock was overvalued" for two reasons: (1) there was publicly available information with early signs that the subprime lending market was going to blow up; and (2) the fiduciaries had access to nonpublic information (given that they were insiders) indicating that Fifth Third had deceived the market through misrepresentations about the company's financial prospects. They alleged that a prudent fiduciary would either have sold the company stock; stopped buying more; cancelled the ESOP altogether; or disclosed the material nonpublic information that would correct the market.
The District Court dismissed the claim, citing the presumption of prudence, but the Sixth Circuit reversed, holding that, while the presumption exists, it is an evidentiary presumption that cannot be relied upon at the pleading stage. The Circuit found the allegations to be sufficient to state a claim.
It turns out that everyone was wrong about everything. Dear Prudence.
With one fell swoop, the Court obliterated the "presumption of prudence," finding that "the law does not create a special presumption favoring ESOP fiduciaries." (We note that a similar sentence could have also have been drafted in the Halliburton decision—the last time we checked we did not see a "presumption or reliance" anywhere in the '34 Act.) The result in Fifth Third must have been fairly surprising to the litigants since, prior to oral argument, the case was really about how and when the presumption should be applied—not whether it existed at all.
The result is a big win for the Respondents and a huge loss for the ESOP fiduciaries. But—and to quote Pee Wee Herman, "everyone I know has a big 'but'—let's talk about [the Supreme Court's] big 'but'": while both the district court and the Circuit were wrong about the presumption of prudence, the Circuit, according to the Supreme Court, was probably also wrong that the allegations in the complaint were sufficient to withstand a motion to dismiss.
The Court noted that there are other protections for ESOP fiduciaries, namely the new rigors of federal pleading. The Court held that a plaintiff's allegation that a plan fiduciary should have known that a company's stock was overvalued because of publicly available information (absent some "special circumstances" not alleged in Fifth Third) fails as a matter of law under TwIqbal. Second, the Court made clear that a plan fiduciary is under no obligation to break the insider trading laws and act based on material nonpublic information—though the Court left open whether a fiduciary could refrain from purchasing additional company stock consistent with the securities laws. Lastly, the Court noted that courts must consider, under TwIqbal , whether allegations that a fiduciary should have acted or refrained from acting in a particular way are actually plausible. A plaintiff must plausibly allege that there was a more prudent course of action that did not involve running afoul of the securities laws and did do more harm than good.
Perhaps the only scenario that would give rise to such "plausible" pleadings is the scenario where a company is on the brink of financial collapse. In other words, it's possible that not much has actually changed, except that the battle will assuredly be fought at the pleading stage. We will certainly watch and see as "special circumstances" and the tension between the securities laws and an ESOP's fiduciary duty of prudence get fleshed out over the years.

But the reporters' questions showed a bit of an edge. One pool reporter at the press conference asked him if he could understand why Americans might not trust him after all the leaks of spying programs. He attacked that comment stating, "No, I can't," and arguing that he was "comfortable" with the level of spying.
President Obama says he's "comfortable" with his spying on you, so you should be too.
[Image Source: AP]
The President did, however, promise to work with Congress to revise Section 215 (50 USC § 1861) of the USA PATRIOT (Uniting (and) Strengthening America (by) Providing Appropriate Tools Required (to) Intercept (and) Obstruct Terrorism) Act, legal language which in essence grants the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) unchecked, unlimited powers of search and seizure. Specifically, the language of the law states that it is legal for FBI agents to demand from any citizen "any tangible things," without producing a warrant so long as the agent(s) "specif[ies]" that the order is "for an authorized investigation . . . to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities."
And it appears that the NSA was nudged by the President to release a white paper [PDF] on its internet and telephone metadata surveillance operations, which spy on chats, emails, web traffic, and other information ostensibly with the goal of finding and tracking "terrorists".
Much of the document is largely just boilerplate. The opening section thumps the rising threat of terrorism and the NSA's role in fighting it. A subsequent section emphasizes that the intended purposes of the agency is to monitor foreign communications (which was apparently overlooked in the indiscriminate grab of U.S. cell phone users' metadata). The backing legal authority-- Executive Order 12333 (President Ronald Reagan, 1981) and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) (50 USC Chapter 36) -- is also noted.
II. NSA Appears to Filter After it Harvest Data, Overcollecting on a Massive Scale
Things start to get juicy on page 4. The NSA writes:
Sources: President Obama via The Washington Post [transcript], NSA [white paper]
quote: But agency claims to only review 0.00004 % (~77,000 GB) per day
quote: Not just that, it's also because are pants-pissing-afraid of dying from a terrorist attack, or dying from anything for that matter.
quote: The sad part is, I don't even live in the United States and the NSA's spying tactics worries me.

Spikes tactical...about 90 plus shipping and transfer fees...better off finding one at a gun show..can get them as low as 60 if u don't have a brand preference

PSA has them on sale for $49 a lot.
March 13, 2012, 09:58 PM
Are pistol and rifle lowers the same price or is one higher than the other?
March 13, 2012, 10:01 PM
They're the exact same thing with a different stamp on them; they should be the same price, pistol lower MAYBE being five or ten bucks more.

March 14, 2012, 01:39 AM
I checked with the local Gander Mountain and they can sell me Superior Arms lowers for $140, same price that they advertise. Does anyone know if the Superior Arms lowers are good quality? Will probably order PSA lowers (I want three) but will likely need to pay FFL transfer fees on each of them (sigh).
March 14, 2012, 07:43 AM
They're the exact same thing with a different stamp on them; they should be the same price, pistol lower MAYBE being five or ten bucks more.
Lowers with the "pistol" marking are a scam. There is no legal requirement for the AR pistol to be marked "pistol". As long as the lower has never been configured as a rifle it can be made as a pistol. If initially built as a pistol, it can be later configured as a rifle then back to pistol.
March 14, 2012, 07:48 AM
madcratebuilder is spot on. Just get a rifle lower. Build it as a pistol first and your good. Been there done that.
March 14, 2012, 08:29 AM
Is there any document you need to fill out that says it has never been built as a rifle or is it your word against whoever asks?
March 14, 2012, 11:23 AM
140 is to much...wats it cost for a transfer fee were ur at...also see if he will combine transfer fees or cut u a deal on them
March 14, 2012, 11:33 AM
Don't forget to call around locally too. Even if the price is slightly higher you won't have to pay for shipping on the lower.
March 14, 2012, 11:45 AM
$59.00 as advertised. I haven't used one, there are many others who have posted they were satisfied with the quality. Add $15 to $25 for the FFL. Many will be happy to process it, some will be jerks because they won't make the extra $70 bucks gouging you for more profit. It's really easy to sort them out - just ask if you can have them process it and how much.
Most of the forged lowers are done by about a dozen plants, they also machine them along with two dozen others, and the industry is focused on getting it right so any lower will take any parts. Miracle of the modern age, almost as good as auto parts. :)
Forged lowers do have the benefit of an exclusive roll mark, which adds a lot to prestige, and nothing to durability or accuracy. Don't get too wrapped up in Brand - the bolt, barrel, and ammo are much more important.

Palmetto State Armory makes a very nice lower. Their complete uppers are also very high quality.
I just bought a Surplus Ammo & Arms for $60 at my local shop for my first build. The shop sells out of them very quickly and I bought the last one they had left.

I have seen some at local dealers for $75. May not be a bad way to go since you don't have to deal with transferring and such. Check around.

Look around for cosmetic blemished units too, for additional discounts if it isn't a safe queen.

Is there any document you need to fill out that says it has never been built as a rifle or is it your word against whoever asks?
When filling out the paperwork there are 3 options, Handgun, long gun(rifle,shotgun), and other firearm(Frame,receiver,etc.). Make sure who ever does the transfer checks "other". You can't legally change a rifle from a manufacturer to a pistol or pistol into a rifle. It's all how the original firearm is registered.

I'm a convert to catholicism, interested in becoming active in faith based activities. I've only been in Illinois a couple years so I'd like to meet other catholics and develop friendships here. Can't wait to grow through faith and friends!
