outlet blunder
Not sure if this is the right spot but here we go. I am in the middle of redoing a room in my house. I installed new sheetrock and put in slate tile floors. I have the old wire system in my house (2 wires with flex conduit for ground). I installed new three prong outlets with metal box so I would have a ground. all checked out good. But now my problem is that I forgot to adjust for the additional height of floor and know my outlets seem to be low, I wanted to install a wider baseboard but with outlets being a little low the bottom of the cover plate will be very close to the baseboard. Is there an easy way to fix this I am not thinking about. I thought about just installing those plastic outlet boxes with the wings and patching the old outlet hole but I think I will lose my ground. Pls help
I think I have an idea. Can I use the steel box as a like a junction box, cover with steel plate then run wire form there to the new outlet box for finished construction (the box with wings). I have only two to do.
Hey there
Your idea will work but you have to leave the old box accesible since you will have joints in there. So a blank cover that can be removed in the future.
Is it the fact that you don't like how it looks so close to baseboard because there is no rule concerning the height of the plugs.
when you mean access I can not put a drywall patch over it. I would have to put a blank outlet cover over it so it will be seen?
That is right, any boxes that have joints in them have to be accesiable and cutting drywall does not count as accesible so you would have to put a blank on there, unless you could take the wires right oout of the old box and put them in the new one.
the problem with that is that the new box would have to be steel for grounding, I have to use a plastic box ( i have not seen a steel box that can be used for excisting construction)unless there is another way to ground it to the steel flex conduit.
There are steel straps available that are kind of like a double t shape to hold steel boxes up tight against sheetrock. Two legs of the strap go against the back side of the rock and two tabs bend over the sides of the box. The adjustable tabs on the top and bottom of the box bear against the outside of the rock. You should be able to find them at HD, Lowes, or any decent sized electrical supplier.
There are also steel boxes available for "old work". They have collapsible brackets on the side that tighten by screws.
Thanks for all your help, I am going to get a sample of the trim to see how it would look and look for those boxes. Thanks again
Your going to have to do drywall work to patch the old box holes anyway so just cut out a reasonably small area of drywall between the studs (from old height to new height), move the nail-on box up (hope you have enough cable there) and put in a drwall patch. You only have 2 to do.
its going to be fine I am not going to change the boxes meet wifes aproval so all is well. Thanks for all your help and sugestions.

The oxygen vacancy dynamics in bulk yttria-stabilized zirconia studied experimentally by conductivity relaxation and quasielastic light scattering had shown anomalous properties that had been attributed to the many-ion effects originating from ion-ion interaction. In the explanation of the anomalous properties given more than ten years ago, some predictions including the actual value of the energy barrier opposing oxygen ion hop have been made but remain unverified. Since then, many molecular dynamics simulations on oxygen vacancy dynamics in bulk YSZ have been published. Moreover, oxygen vacancy dynamics in nanometer thin films of YSZ fabricated in various fashion have been measured by conductivity relaxation as well as studied by computer simulations. This rich collection of new experimental and computer simulations results provide fertile ground for testing the predictions made before. The tests are made and the results are positive. The advance lends considerable support of the previously published explanation of oxygen vacancy dynamics in bulk YSZ. We pointed out that ion dynamics similar to YSZ are found in other ionic conductors, and the explanation for YSZ given here also works there.

As an increasing number of sets decide that if they do not unite, divided they will disappear into mediocrity or worse, the bar is fast resembling a Moonies mass marriage ceremony. But with the cult of personality so strong at the bar, what drives different types of sets to merge? Are the most successful unions arranged between relatively unfamiliar partners like Reverend Moon's proteges, or is it the real love matches that will win the day?
The latest merger announcement, between 4-5 Gray's Inn Square and Monckton Chambers, comes as no surprise, but according to some observers is a rather strange match which looks as if it may have been imposed upon at least one party. While those involved in the merger say quite the opposite, of course, many around the Inns have difficulty seeing the sense in it. As one senior clerk said: "It looks like 4-5 Gray's Inn Square panicked after it lost a couple of good public law people, and with Michael Beloff QC threatening to leave too, it approached Monckton."
As a combined force, the new set, yet to reveal its new name or office location, will sell itself as a specialist in public law and judicial review, European Community and competition law, commercial law and planning – Gray's Inn's great special- isation. Due to start operating as one in May, the new set has also to decide who will be the joint heads of chambers and which of its respective chambers directors will become chief executive.
Commenting on the solidarity of the deal as it now stands, Peter Roth QC, a senior tenant at Monckton Chambers, says: "I don't think there's any risk of it falling through, we have spent a lot of time working out the detail – there is a great determination to make it work. We have a very similar culture and the extent of that similarity has become more apparent as talks have progressed."
Two sets which have most definitely gone for a love match are 2 Crown Office Row and 1 Paper Buildings, both heavy insurance and professional negligence sets. As head of 2 Crown Office Row Christopher Purchas QC pointed out, mergers are going to affect most of the bar, and the two sets wanted to be out there in the forefront choosing who they teamed up with before having another set "thrust upon them".
Both sets knew they had to increase their offering in depth and strength of numbers, both had other suitors, but the two heads had been friends in the courtroom and on the golf course for many years. Purchas decided he wanted to merge, approached Michael Spencer QC, head of chambers at 1 Paper Buildings, on a strictly confidential basis, and mooted the idea. His friend was keen and proceedings soon got under way. These two sets, due to become one next month under the banner of Crown Office Chambers, are fairly evenly matched in terms of numbers and breakdown between silks and juniors.
But other sets with more of a mismatch in what they can bring to the table can achieve new synergistic heights on the basis of mutual admiration. The obvious example is 1 Hare Court and Serle Court, whose reincarnation as Serle Court Chambers has finally allowed its members to achieve the recognition they have deserved for a long time. Here, a top-heavy nugget of a commercial set teamed up with a well-regarded chancery set which, although very well-regarded, contained few silks.
Michael Briggs QC explains that neither party was in the merger market, but both saw the sense in it. "There's a common perception now that a commercial dispute will involve a broad range of issues, particularly because of the increasing internationalisation of business and trade. There are certain advantages in being a certain minimum size – you have strength in depth across a broad range of common experience and it means that someone of the requisite calibre and experience is always available," he says.
According to Briggs, there were some long-standing friendships between various members of both sets and "a high level of mutual respect". But most important of all, he says: "We share basic vocational ideas. It's not just about clubbability, it's sharing the same professional ideals at a deep level."
Strength and breadth in numbers and enhanced client service are not the sole reasons given by barristers around the Inns for the spate of recent mergers. The more cynical, and possibly more realistic among their number say sets may merge as a defensive move to insure themselves against the shock of big earners leaving. "If a small set has a high earner leave, they tend to be a bit buggered," one honourable gentleman puts it. Another reason is prestige and finally, to achieve economies of scale – the more people in chambers, the less they all have to pay towards chambers expenses. But it would seem that safety is not necessarily found in numbers. As another barrister, who wished to remain anonymous, says: "Some chambers, they've got 70 barristers but they're still in trouble. Being big doesn't save the day if you're no good."
There is a sense that, as solicitors carry out more and more of the work that barristers used to, barristers are trying to compete with them on their own terms by developing corporate images and marketing gimmicks, for which size is important. "But in a way they have the worst of all worlds. Barristers will never be as good at this as law firms are, and it's not what people want anyway," says one practitioner.
Whether for love or money, mergers over the past couple of years have fallen into two main camps: those between sets carrying out the same sort of work, generally seen to be the easier ones to pull off, and those between sets which bring complementary types of work to the table, such as Serle Court/1 Hare Court. They have also mostly involved chancery and commercial related practices.
There are still several small chancery sets left, all of which are no doubt wondering when and if they are going to get snapped up, and possibly worrying that they won't be. But small is not necessarily vulnerable.
One area of the bar which has so far remained immune from the whole messy business is the tax bar, thanks to its high-earning capacity and extremely specialised, niche status. But aside from the two largest sets, Pump Court Tax and Gray's Inn Tax chambers, there are several smaller sets which would in fact suffer greatly if one of their stars retired, left or fell out of the picture for some other reason. Without John Gardiner QC, for example, 11 New Square might find itself in a spot of bother. 3 Temple Gardens has been attempting to solve the problem by building up in size via lateral hires. None of the new recruits has shone through yet within the tax arena, but hopefully their stars will begin to ascend in time and provide the set with the protection it needs.
Whoever is merging with whom, there are many problems inherent in the process, not least the question of keeping the whole affair secret until it is agreed. With the bar being such a small community, rife with intermarriage and inbreeding, this is not always easy.
Purchas and Spencer were pleasantly surprised that news of their merger did not leak out until the week before it was officially announced, despite several members of chambers having spouses practising elsewhere around the Inns. "If we finally decided not to merge, and the merger had been public knowledge, it could have been very damaging to both sets," says Spencer.
Choice of name and building are also psychologically important, particularly when one of the merging parties is smaller than the other or making more of a geographical upheaval. Despite being around half the size of its partner, 1 Hare Court has adapted well to losing its name and situation, largely thanks to the fact that both sets moved into a new building under a new name which, although used by Serle Court for a while beforehand, had been chosen specifically with merger in mind.
"One anticipates that losing the name is going to be a problem, but in actual fact it wasn't at all," says Spencer, whose idea it was in fact to rename his joint enterprise Crown Office Chambers, making the most of the royal tag. "Our admin will be carried out from 1 Paper Buildings," he explains, adding: "Ours is a true merger, we're going to mix everyone up and all the sub committees have mixed membership. That's done the bonding process a great deal of good."
But what turned out to be most crucial, according to Purchas and Spencer, was the intensive spade work before putting the merger to the final vote. According to Purchas, it was vital that members of chambers knew exactly what they were voting for so there was no room for doubt later. "We didn't envisage that it would be as much work as it was, but it has paid dividends. The work we did is worth its weight in gold," he says. Spencer adds: "We identified the pitfalls before we decided to make the decision to merge. Without the study, we wouldn't have automatically identified cultural differences and been able to come up with solutions to them."
In order to help them through the process, Purchas and Spencer brought in merger expert David Temporal as "an insurance policy". "We wanted to make sure we were asking ourselves the right questions," says Purchas. "If you have identified the reason for the decision to merge, you will pull through it."
No doubt there are more unions on the way but the old argument about whether affection or pragmatism forms the best foundation for any partnership will no doubt lumber on. Of course the answer is obvious – neither are necessarily the right or wrong way, and only time will tell.
10 steps to merger
Stage 1: Confidential chat between heads.
Stage 2: Take select handful into confidence to get their opinion.
Stage 3: Rest of set asked, sworn to secrecy.
Stage 4: Advisability study, looking at pros and cons.
Stage 5: Chambers vote on whether to go ahead in principle and set up steering committee to carry out feasibility study.
Stage 6: In-depth, due diligence exercise looking at all aspects of chambers from finance and accounts, staffing to professional and cultural differences. Senior clerks brought in at this time. While heads of chambers, treasurers and senior clerks have access to who earns what, this information is not specifically looked at. Books opened. Clients are not researched at this point – would lose secrecy.
Stage 7: Full chambers vote.
Stage 8: Critical path mapped out, setting out realistic completion date and everything
that needs to be done before final merger can take place.
Stage 9: Steering committee goes about dissolving constitutions, sub committees set up with mixed membership to carry out various tasks such as: marketing; legal issues such as new leases for premises; setting up a new service company; building works and technology matters such as networking chambers and setting up website. Chambers finance committee starts forming new way to charge rent based on agreed criteria.
Stage 10: Clients and press informed, launch party arranged, information sent out.

Beer-glass shape affects drinking speed
The shape of beer glasses affects how quickly people drink, according to research from the University of Bristol.
The study, published in the journal PLoS ONE, found that people drink more quickly out of curved glasses than straight ones.
According to the study, curvy glasses makes pacing yourself a greater challenge.
A group of 159 men and women were filmed drinking soft drinks and beer as part of the study.
While all of the glasses contained around half a pint, some were straight while others were distinctly curved.
The study found no difference in the drinking time for soft drinks, with people drinking from both straight and curved glasses finishing in around seven minutes.
For the beer drinkers however, there was a large difference between the two groups.
While it took around seven minutes for people drinking from a curved glass to imbibe their half pint, it took 11 minutes for those drinking from a straight glass.
"Drinking time is slowed by almost 60% when an alcoholic beverage is presented in a straight glass compared with a curved glass," the report said.
Researchers believe that curved glasses make it harder to pace drinking as judging how much is in the glass becomes more difficult due to its curvy shape.
The group of drinkers were shown a variety of pictures of partially-filled beer glasses and asked to say whether they were more or less than half full.
People scored lower when assessing the amount of liquid in curved glasses.
"They are unable to judge how quickly they are drinking so cannot pace themselves," lead researcher Dr Angela Attwood told the BBC.
She believes altering glassware in pubs could "nudge" people to drink more responsibly by "giving control back".

Diagramming the interior
Taylor, Mark (2009) Diagramming the interior. In The Diagrams of Architecture. John Wiley & Sons Ltd, pp. 134-141.
Submitted Version
(PDF 38kB)
Administrators only | Request a copy from author
Mark Taylor's new essay assesses the impact of the diagram on interior design from the late 19th century to the present. Taylor identifies the pop-cultural discourse of advice writing in both books and magazines as a starting point for his analysis. Drawing on diverse sources, his analysis focuses on texts relating to the dynamics of use and flexibility by Catherine Beecher, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Melusina Fay Peirce, Mary Haweis and Christine Frederick among others. The examples in these texts use the home, domestic housekeeping and kitchens as the sites and practices of intervention through which interior design innovations can be enacted. Taylor's analysis identified the innovations in both the social and the political aspects of space and the critique of static space behind these seemingly amateurish and innocuous texts. Identifying these contributions as early precursors of Modernism's open-plan and flexible, dynamic spaces, Taylor also interprets them with a critical concern for the oppositions and hierarchies that can exist in spatial design, and which are the hallmarks of recent Postmodern, phenomenological approaches to interior design and its theorisations. The progressive and subversive "paradigms for living" implicit in these diagrams can be argued to present a model of greater economic, social and political equality as well as representing a more balanced set of power relations in the home. Progressing through the 20th century to the present, Taylor's analysis shifts byond the dressed body and on to the more intimate rituals of the revealed body to further examine how diagrams of the interior, and the interior as a set of diagrams, are also mediators, sites and grounds for the design of social and sexual intimacy. Through a consideration of the link between design, indentity and intimacy (whether of the invisible, fashioned or sexualised body), the diagrms of interiors are reconfigured as radical and critical tools for an animate, material and emancipatory "redressing" of the balance between the body, identity, sexuality, gender, function, mis(use), aesthetics and the interior.

Scott and I had dinner together on Friday--a date night for the two of us, and part of Scott's birthday present. The other part of his present was free license to visit three D.C. record stores, all within a few blocks of the Indian restaurant where we had dinner--I wanted the record store outing to be sort of like a pub crawl, but for music, not beer. I don't mind record-shopping, although I can think of a few other things I'd rather be doing. As luck would have it, one of the record stores was also a used book store, so I looked through books (and found a copy of this favorite book of mine for $1) pulled up a handy stool and read while Scott sorted through records.
At dinner we talked about things that had nothing to do with the kids. I was tempted, many times, to start a conversation about middle school/charter school decisions and What to Do About Next Year but I bit my tongue. Instead we talked about us, and about where life has taken us (to amazing, scary, unexpected, wonderful places) in the sixteen years since we last ate Indian food there as a couple out on our first date ever, still stumbling over getting to know one another, still tentative, that first-date glow hanging over everything we said or did.
It's easy when you're a parent, and a parent of a child whose needs ask so much of you emotionally and physically (and you find inside of you a strength and resilience you never even knew you had, or imagined you might have, sixteen years ago, when you were just twenty-five, and sitting across the table from each other on that big first date) to lose sight of all the other ways you work so well as a couple.
We talked about roads not taken, and where we'd be today if we hadn't decided to leave D.C. for graduate school. What if I'd taken one of the two jobs offered to me at the place where I worked before Scott and I got married, and moved to upstate, New York? Where would we be now? Was I happy to have traded that working world for the years we spent in graduate school? (Answer: of course) Could we have been city people? (Answer: probably not)
All around us there were other couples--young ones, seated at those tables-for-two on the outdoor patio. The night was warm, and each little table near us seemed enveloped in that same sparkly first-date glow I remembered from years ago. I like to think our table had a glow around it, too: the we've-been-together-for-sixteen-years-and-married-for-fifteen kind of glow; a glow that speaks of a love that has stood the times--not always gracefully, but bravely, and beautifully, too.

Nice, are you going to be maintaining both threads or will the Rootz one eventually take over, since AOKP now has an official home here? I'd rather follow just one thread if possible. Also, is the latest 1.7 (per the XDA numbering) different from the one that you linked to a couple days ago to give us a "taste"?
Sportsstar89 (XDA) is keeping up with that thread, while I do pop my head over and support users and assist. I, myself, will keep this one updated with all the official AOKP news/updates as they come.
1.7 shouldn't be much different, maybe the only thing is the mute key working or not.

The world can look like a prison or a turmoil at one moment then after a drop of the right flower remedy resume its beauty and order. Get BACH FLOWER THERAPY by Mechthild Scheffer (or some other book) and remember to look in it for help when your world or your friends world is falling apart. Five Flower Formula is better know as "Rescue Remedy" -- The combination really helps pull you back from the edge whether the edge is physical emotional nightmare ... whatever. Have this on hand at home and when you travel. Flower Remedies are a gift! Remember what Clarissa Pinkola Estés says in THE TAO OF ELVIS "...whatever and whomever we love never die."

Excellent formula!
I use Five Flower Formulas by Flower Essence Sevices to calm my dogs during storms and it works great for us.
Excellent product for homeopathic calmative. I've been using it for many years on different breeds.

Very calming!
I found Five Flower Formula Dropper by Flower Essence Services to work as well as another product that I have used for years, "Rescue Remedy" to calm me. I often have trouble sleeping at night so I usually take it at bed time. This product is working as well as the other product that I used.
It works!
I was not aware of the fact that the main ingredient was brandy. That doesn't matter to me but when I saw that listed a the first ingredient I was a little concerned that there might need to be a warning on the label in case alcohol would cause problems for some.

Bookkeeping: Stopped Out of 60% of Atheros Communications (ATHR)
It's quite interesting how a market that is only a few % points away from 16 month highs is causing so much damage in individual stocks. Atheros Communications (ATHR) actually is holding up much better than a lot of other stocks we either own or I have on various watch lists. However, I did not want to give away all our profits on this one so I had a quite tight stop just under $34.00 which I noticed today hit yesterday - part of the avalanche of orders from Thursday. This reduced our stake by 60%. Unfortunately, we are in a spot here similar to much of the past 2.5 years where almost everything moves together en masse; our student body trading situation is back. Hence very little is being spared although some stocks seem quite exhausted to the downside after taking traumatic damage in just 3 days.
Atheros is far better off than most of the other charts I am looking at, so if the S&P 500 can regain support by the end of the day, it might be able to bounce... but right now the charts are taking a back seat to the overall market so their usefulness is degraded.
There are some dead cat bounces happening as we speak, especially in the blind sided weak dollar plays but if 1995-2007 rules are in play, these oversold bounces should simply lead to excellent shorting opportunities. If 2009 rules are in play, the oversold bounces turn directly into V shaped recoveries. I don't know what the 2010 playbook is yet so we're more observors right now; what happened repeatedly in 2009 should not occur but once in a blue moon, but almost every month we saw moon shoots after any sharp selloff. Leading many to question who is behind the curtain...
Last factor to consider, it's almost become expected for a mass of buying on the first day of every week - the last 3 months are full of Monday happiness. Will people position for that in Pavlov fashion? Either way I am not going to get excited by any mechanical bounce in the S&P 500 unless we are back over S&P 1130... there might be some quick in/out action for traders with shorter time frames however. Lots of new things to assess this weekend.

Well, I'm not a fan of abstract expressionism, conceptual, or any other type of "intellectual masturbation" type of art. The painters I pay attention to are the painters with true talent and skill that I respect--people like Richard Schmid, Jeremy Lipking, Scott Burdick, Pino..etc. They are very successful and demands for their works far exceeds their ability to fulfill them. Morgan Weistling, another of the successful painters I respect, is so hot that collectors use lottery system to see who gets to buy his next painting. These guys are the real deal--master painters in ever sense of the word. The DVD's of their painting sessions are real eye-openers. Watching them actually painting each brushstroke and explaining the creative choices they make as they paint--you cannot fake that. I'm particularly fond of these painters because they carry the tradition of Sargent and other bravura painters. No guy off the street can do what they do.

Window Glazing - hairline cracks
I am preparing to paint my windows and have a few spots where there are hairline cracks in the window glazing. Do I need to remove all of the glazing, or can I "fill" the hairlines with either glazing or simply paint over?
If the glaze is still stuck to the window rather well, then you don't have to. If they are just hairline cracks then you can just mash some more glaze into them. Then prime and paint them and you should be good.
Thanks admins for removing the spammer.
Glazing putty is nothing more than clay mixed with linseed oil.
Mooshing (if that's a word) new glazing putty into the cracks would work, I suppose, if the new putty got deep enough into the crack. If not, I expect the "plug" would just fall out.
If it wuz me, I'd probably be inclined to mix a bit of putty with boiled linseed oil to thin it, and pack that in the crack. Or, maybe the boiled linseed oil might get sucked into the crack by capillary pressure, and you wouldn't even need any putty.
Also, the fact that the putty has cracks in it is most likely because the wood is swelling and shrinking with changes in it's moisture content, whereas the putty doesn't, and the result is cracks in the putty as it tries to stretch and shrink with the wood. The fact that it's still sticking well to the wood means that it's only the putty at the surface that's fully cured; the stuff under it isn't. That's the way putty works; the stuff on top reacts with the oxygen in the air, and that better and better prevents the air from getting at the un-fully cured putty under the surface. That un-fully cured putty will remain soft enough to allow for expansion and contraction of the wood without breaking loose from the wood.
Putty was used for decades before they came out with caulks. If you have lots of windows that are installed with glazing putty, and it's getting to be a chore always replacing the putty, I would probably think about using a caulk instead. After all, putty was used before they had caulks, why keep using putty now that we do have good caulks that will form a reliable seal between wood and glass? But, maybe use twice as many glazing points cuz caulk might not hold the window in as securely as putty.
If you're looking for a good caulk to use, look no further than Kop-R-Lastic, which is a synthetic rubber that has very good adhesive strength, but even better cohesive strength. That means that it sticks to itself even better than it sticks to the wood or the glass. The advantage to you is that when it comes time to recaulk, you simply have to get one end of the caulk loose, and then you can pull it off the window cleanly like a rubber rope. Since I started using Kop-R-Lastic, I won't use any other caulk.
Kop-R-Lastic is made by the U.S.E. Hickson Company of Canada under licence from the Koppers Company of Australia, which is a subsidiary of Koppers Inc., whose head office is in the USA. My understanding is that U.S.E. Hickson has been purchased by the Henry Company Canada. I understand that the Henry Company is a popular brand in America, so I expect you guys should soon be seeing the equivalent of Kop-R-Lastic showing up as a Henry's product. Also, my understanding is that Kop-R-Lastic is not sold by the Koppers Company in the USA, and I have absolutely no clue why they'd don't market such a great product in their own country. I just don't make no sense no how to me.
But, if you have lots of old windows that keep you busy with replacing the glazing putty on them, I'd give some thought to replacing that glazing putty with a high quality caulk instead. Kop-R-Lastic won't work any better than any other high quality caulk, it'll just be much easier to remove the caulk when it comes time to recaulk.

Q&A: WBA VP Gilberto J. Mendoza
By Gabriel F. Cordero
What can you say about Jose Sulaiman?
If I briefly summed up the contribution of his legacy in my role as a leader of boxing, I'd say he was a man who was highly committed to protect the boxer inside and outside the ring.
What do you think about WBC election on February 11 in Mexico?
Last Tuesday, in Mexico City, the WBC Governors met to make the right decision. The members of the boxing federations representing all continents pushed for continuity. With a unanimous vote, the son of Don Jose gained the support to lead the WBC.
What's in store for Mauricio Sulaiman and the new WBC?
Not only the challenges facing the troubled world of boxing but also a difficult one: keep firm the presence of the policies of his father. Bring all the values with which he was raised and educated for many years.
Your comments about Mauricio Sulaiman?
I am privileged to know the capacity of work, human intelligence and sensitivity of Mauricio. I am one of the few who can at least understand a little his thoughts and feelings.
The boxing world knows you both have much in common…
Mauricio and I grew up with the passion of boxing in our blood. From an early age we have lived among the biggest figures, with great champions and legends, with boxers hopeful to make it to the top and others who could not and also those who were stars and then lost everything, and we met the great promoters at different times.
Are you two fortunate to be children of great leaders in boxing?
We were blessed to have been accompanied by the greatest idols of our lives. Our parents. In the midst of obstacles and sometimes difficult situations we could see closely the management of organizations, and we know the spirit of the rules, the reasons for the changes and every one of the ideas that maintain current sport.
And the critics who think it's some kind of legacy?
Adjectives like princes, heirs, corruption or nepotism are bound to be used against us. We aren't able to choose our parents. It's a divine reason and God knows the answer.
Do you identify fully with Mauricio?
No doubt his dedication, professionalism and discipline that will carry the WBC in his administration as president of the champions with the green and gold belt. Mauricio has my support and confidence.

Remote and local file inclusion (RFI/LFI) attacks are a favorite choice for hackers—and many security professionals just aren't noticing
| 26 March 2012
Imperva have found that hackers are now using Remote and local file inclusion (RFI/LFI), as their favourite hacking method. With RFI/LFI attacks making 21 percent of all observed application attacks, which allows an attacker to target the computer servers that run Web sites and their applications, what can we do to stop this kind of attack?
Why is RFI/LFI attractive to hackers? A successful attack allows the execution of arbitrary code on the attacked platform's web application. With RFI/LFI, a hacker can take over a web server.
Surprisingly, however, RFI/ LFI has not been taken seriously by the security community. In real-world hacking attacks, RFI/LFI attacks made up 21 percent of all observed application attacks.[1]
For hackers RFI/ LFI attacks are very attractive since they target are PHP applications. With more than 77% of today's websites running PHP, RFI should be on every security practitioner's radar—but isn't. Some notorious RFI/ LFI examples include:
- Lulzsec using RFI bots to attack their targets.[2]
- Timthumb, a WordPress add-on, which was vulnerable to LFI and paved the way to 1.2 million infected websites. [3]
In one hacker forum, several discussion shed light on the value of RFI/LFI:
Why isn't LFI/RFI high on the priority list for good guys? Many website owners/security officers are not necessarily aware of the underlying tech that powers their website. For example, if you install Wordpress, the most popular content management system on the Internet, you get PHP on your server.
Ironically, PHP applications are the most prevalent, in terms of absolute numbers, in the web, hence a strong interest by attackers. Most web applications are PHP based because this is the platform of choice for small, low cost applications, and most applications on the web are small, low cost, applications.
Today, some very popular sites are actively using PHP, including:
- Facebook.com
- Baidu.com
- Wikipedia.org
- Qq.com
- Taobao.com
- Sina.com.cn
- Wordpress.com
- Weibo.com
- 163.com
- Soso.com
Sites using PHP only recently:
- Soso.com
- Reuters.com
- Wsj.com
- Forbes.com
RFI/LFI primarily affects web applications written in the PHP programming language. PHP is a general-purpose server-side scripting language originally designed for Web development to produce dynamic Web pages. It is among one of the first developed server-side scripting languages to be embedded into an HTML source document, rather than calling an external file to process data. Ultimately, the code is interpreted by a Web server with a PHP processor module which generates the resulting Web page. PHP can be deployed on most Web servers and also as a standalone shell on almost every operating system and platform free of charge.[4]
PHP is by far the most popular server-side programming language. As of February 28th of 2012, PHP is used by 77.2% of the internet top Alexa ranked million websites.[5] For comparison, the runner-up technology (MS ASP.NET) is used on only 21.7% of these sites. The use of PHP is also very frequent on the most visited sites, as four of top Alexa ranked ten web sites are powered by PHP (Facebook, Baidu.com, Wikipedia, QQ.COM). Looking at these numbers, it becomes very clear why PHP is a prime target for hackers—and equally perplexing why security teams are neglecting it.
Further examination of The PHP versions break down, shows that PHP subversion 5.2 is the most popular version in the wild and that about 90% of deployed PHP enabled server are of version 5.2 or above.

Amitabh slams Bhandarkar's allegations on Aishwarya
Meanwhile, Bachchans are upset with rumours on Bhandarkar's 18 crores loss on Heroine being shelved. Responding to all the reports Amitabh Bachchan justified on his way back from Ajmer Dargah on Monday, "Whatever has happened between Aishwarya, Madhur (Bhandarkar, co-producer) and UTV (co-producer) is between them. I know that the rumours going around are not true. I hope that the truth comes out soon."
Slamming all the rumours about the monetary loss, the Bbuddah star told that everybody knew that Aishwarya was married when she signed the film. "So you mean to say that actors can"t get married or have children? I don"t think this can be a part of any contract that you cannot get married or have children if you are working in a project," reasoned Mr Bachchan.
Amitabh is also upset with the UTV banner and talked about his film Shoe Bite with them, which has not yet been released. He expressed that he has not even asked a word on why the film has not been released yet. Though actress Aishwarya refrains to react on Bhandarkar's allegation, DNA reports that the actress has not accepted any compensation for Heroine. Bachchans, on the other hand, are not in favour of suing Madhur over his remarks.

Put your own spin on these by adding anything that you would normally like on a pizza just before popping them in the oven!
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 12 count muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Start by laying each tortilla out individually on a flat surface, and use an empty can, cup, or cookie cutter to cut 3-4 medium circles out of each wrap. I used the empty pizza sauce can, which worked well! Press firmly enough, using a rocking motion, until it cuts through the wrap.
Press each wrap circle into muffin tin using your fingers. Note: it doesn't have to cover the entire side of the tin, it should just fit snuggly!
Meanwhile, pour pizza sauce, parmesan cheese, and the spices into a medium sized bowl. Stir until everything is well combined.
Drop about 1-2 tbs of sauce in each wrap, this really varies according to how much sauce you like!
Divide mozzarella cheese evenly over each mini pizza.
Place 4 mini pepperonis on top of each pizza.
Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Wait for pizzas to cool, and remove from muffin tin using a fork or knife. Pizzas should pop out with ease!
Serve warm and enjoy!

Since monkeys have provided a rich source of material for British surrealist comedy over the years (think Vic and Bob or Eddie Izzard), this charity spectacular at the Lyceum offers top stand-ups the chance to give something back. Convened by legendary maverick muso Bill Bailey in support of the Sumatran Orangutan Society, who work to promote orang-utan conservation in Indonesia, the lineup includes first class comics such as ventriloquist Nina Conti and always gloriously inappropriate Australian pianist Tim Minchin, and will be hosted by evergreen oddball Simon Munnery. There'll also be a rare solo appearance from Dave Brown as Bollo, The Mighty Boosh's primate percussionist. On top of what this show can do for the orang-utans, it should be great entertainment for those further down the evolutionary chain.

Cisco's IME: Step One In Bringing B2B Voice & Video Into The Internet Era
Posted by Ted Schadler on March 12, 2010
- 469 Recommendations
- 3 comments
You can use Internet protocols to make phone calls inside your own network. And you don't have to pay for the minutes. But you can't do the same thing with a business partner. Instead, you have to pay a carrier like BT or AT&T to carry the phone call over the public switched telephone network (PSTN).
(PSTN is an analog network born in 1878 when Bell opened a switching office in New Haven, CT. It's done us proud, but it's time to move to a digital network.)
It's even worse for video conferencing. If you want to have a video conference internally, you can use your IP network to do it. But if you want to do a video conference with a business partner, you have to use a complex business gateway link and pay a lot of money for it.
Cisco thinks it's time to change that. We spoke with Cisco executives Tony Bates, Barry O'Sullivan, and Joe Burton about Cisco's intercompany media engine (IME), a new technology to replace PSTN with its Internet equivalent. Cisco's goals are audacious:
- Give companies with digital voice networks a secure way to use the Internet to connect directly with customers and partners. It'll just be making a phone call as before, but with better audio, an immediate video link if one is available, and more information about who's calling and why.
- Introduce a new standard for making phone and video calls that it hopes others will get on board with. Cisco submitted five engineering specs to the Internet Engineering Task Force last fall.
- Make money by driving more Internet and IP network traffic, thereby selling more of its CRS-3 routers. This router is designed to carry video traffic over the Internet, including video conferencing. Secure B2B voice and video will drive huge Internet traffic. Cisco, Avaya, and the carriers can make money that way.
So is IME real? Well, it's been demoed and we saw it. Cisco SVP Tony Bates in San Jose, California, USA, made a video conferencing call to a Cisco and their
Dimension Data customer Queensland Rail in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Tony had his video desk phone. Gerard Lynden in Australia had a Tandberg video conference room. Tony and Gerald Lynden had a video conference just by placing a phone call, and the call itself cost nothing because it used the public Internet.
I'll be frank. I'm pushing it. I think it's time to give phones a chance to participate in global Internet connections. It's fundamentally a good idea, and Cisco deserves credit for developing it and putting the core technology into a standards process. But it needs industry support.
So my ask is that Cisco, Avaya, IBM, AT&T, BT, Tata, NTT, China Telecom, Microsoft, the conferencing providers, and the handset makers step up together to create a global network to make secure, Internet-based phone calls and video conferences by just dialing the phone.
Here's what it means for information & knowledge management professionals and other IT professionals focused on collaboration and unified communications.
- What it means (WIM) #1. IME would give your unified communications investments a way to phone partners in London. Or Singapore or Chicago or Tokyo or Mumbai. With no toll charges. That alone should spur you to care about it.
- WIM #2. B2B video conferences would get a whole lot easier. With a secure B2B link, you would be able to initiate and conduct a video conference with a customer by placing a phone call.
- WIM #3. You should push Cisco and Avaya and AT&T and others to get together and make a real standard. You don't want a Cisco-only solution (neither does Cisco). But in order for this to work with all your customers and partners, the industry needs to coalesce on the standards process.
- WIM #4. Don't start planning your IME launch party yet. We believe that it will take a few quarters for Cisco's product to hit its stride, a few years to build industry support for the standard, and a few decades to reach global ubiquity. But you should learn about the technology and think about which partners or customers you might start experimenting with.
- WIM #5. Phone numbers gain new credibility as a global routing system. We've all become used to email addresses and URLs. But phone numbers are just so convenient. IME will breath new life into them. Mobile phones will also be IME linkable though phone numbers.
Jump on in if you have thoughts to share.

Hi Ted,
Nice post and gald you are pushing IME. I agree that IME really is revolutionary and innovative and will change the way people communicate. Video...bringing the the ability to read people's nonverbal cues using the internet, or the network as the platform.

Comment from Rusty B (not verified) on Wed, 08/11/2010 - 20:31
IME is neither new nor innovative: MSFT shipped multi-media federation (i.e. inter-company UC connection over the internet) in May 2005, including the ability to connect to public IM clouds such as AOL and Yahoo!
On your WIM3 - this is a great point. Cisco and Avaya are consipicuous by the absence in the UCIF and are pretty vocal about why it is evil.
Just for the record....
Yes, but . . .
Comment from Ted Schadler on Thu, 08/12/2010 - 07:26
Thanks for your comment, Rusty. It's an interesting point. I've always viewed those federation plays (IBM has one, too) as a series of point-to-point connections rather than directory-based connections.
A fully mature IME will have a much clearer way for organziations to federate to a directory/hub/clearinghouse rather than with a point-to-point architecture. It's more like Reuters federation thanMicrosoft's in that regard, yes?
The benefit (once the permissioning and administrative issues are resolved) is scale. If someone chooses to tie their IP communications into the global hub, then I can find them in the directory. I don't have to establish an arduous point-to-point connection first. It's more like the phone system than a federation of IM in that sense.
Please comment back if I'm seeing this wrong.

Our winter storm warning has been replaced with a wind chill advisory until noon Saturday. Nearly seven inches of snow fell over the grand forks area on Wednesday. Now bitterly cold arctic air is moving into the region. Street crews have been pushing the snow around overnight and will continue the clean-up today. In grand forks street superintendent mark aubol says it can take between 12 and 15 hours to plow the entire city given the number of lane miles to clear -- more than 700.
No major crashes were reported as a result of this week's wintry blast in greater grand forks. Police lt-mike ferguson says just a handful of fender-benders.
The north Dakota d-o-t reports most roads in northeastern north Dakota have scattered slippery spots with much of i-29 returning to seasonally good driving conditions.
Wednesday's storm was one for the record books. The snow maker dropped 7.3 inches of snow at the grand forks airport. That surpassed the previous all-time high for the date of 6.2 inches set in 2007. the national weather service says start to finish the grand forks tally goes down at 7.7 inches.

Sony Enlists HTC, Rowling to Bolster PS3 Gaming Platform
Sony Corp., moving to bolster its PlayStation 3 video-game platform, added movies, TV shows and exclusive games including "Wonderbook: Book of Spells" from "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling.
The company announced a partnership with mobile-phone maker HTC Corp. (2498) at the E3 video-game trade show in Los Angeles yesterday. The Tokyo-based consumer electronics maker also unveiled Sony-only titles such as "PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale" that work with the PS3 and its Vita handheld device.
Sony, Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) and Nintendo Co. are working to broaden the appeal of their consoles in a battle for living-room supremacy, while countering the threat from games on smartphones and Facebook Inc. (FB) The next "Assassin's Creed" from Ubisoft Entertainment (UBI) and "Call of Duty" from Activision Blizzard Inc. (ATVI) will showcase interoperability between the PS3 and the wireless Vita, Sony said.
"They didn't dwell too much on the Vita as a device but on the interoperability, which is smart," said Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles. Sony is taking the pragmatic approach that "if you're going to be on one device, you ought to be on all of them," he said.
With "Assassin's Creed" and "Call of Duty," both available for the holiday season, Sony will feature the ability to provide users seamless movement from one device to the other.
Sony is also extending its PlayStation Network service, making videos from Hulu Plus and Crackle available on the Vita, as well as classic games. Vintage titles such as "Tomb Raider" and "Final Fantasy" will be offered for Vita through PSN starting in summer, and the service will add the indie game "Unfinished Swan" exclusively.
'Book of Spells'
Rowling's "Book of Spells," to be released in the fall, is aimed at younger players and utilizes the PlayStation Move controller to create an augmented reading experience, Sony said. The game will project images such as simulated fire onto a book, using a wand to manipulate the action.
The PlayStation 3, released in November 2006, and Microsoft's Xbox 360, introduced a year earlier, face added competition later this year from Nintendo's new Wii U.
Microsoft introduced software yesterday called Xbox SmartGlass that will link the Xbox 360 to phones, tablets and personal computers. The Redmond, Washington-based company also formed a partnership with Nike Inc. (NKE) for a "Nike+ Kinect Training" program with the Kinect controller.
Wii U
On June 3, Kyoto, Japan-based Nintendo demonstrated a touchscreen controller for the Wii U that allows for messaging between players and game downloads. The tablet-like gamepad can serve as a second screen for Wii games, make video calls or browse the Internet.
Sales of PlayStation game consoles will probably drop to 16 million units from 18 million in the fiscal year started April 1, Sony said in May. Sales of portable game players, including the PS Vita, will more than double to 16 million units from 6.8 million, the company said.
Sony is forecasting revenue to rise 14 percent to 7.4 trillion yen ($94 billion) this fiscal year, partly because of the projected surge in sales of portable game players.
The game unit turned to a profit of 46.5 billion yen in the year ended March 2011 after four consecutive years of losses, Mami Imada, a Tokyo-based spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. The business posted a profit of around 30 billion yen in the year ended in March 2012, she said.
Next Generation
Greater coordination between Sony's video-game business and its other entertainment units is also a focus for Kazuo Hirai, Sony's new chief executive officer. In March, he appointed film-studio chairman Michael Lynton as chief executive of Sony Corp. (6758) of America, placing oversight of the music, television and movie units under one executive.
Sony rose 2.2 percent to 1,018 yen as of 12:39 p.m. in Tokyo trading. The shares rebounded from a 1.7 percent decline to 996 yen yesterday, the lowest closing price since 1980.
Hirai, who turned around the PlayStation unit, is counting on digital cameras, games and mobile gadgets to help drive a revival, he said on April 12.
Sony plans a 2013 release for the successor to the PlayStation 3, the Wall Street Journal reported last week, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. The company considered a download-only plan before deciding to include an optical disc drive, the newspaper said.
Microsoft will begin selling the next version of the Xbox in 2013 at the earliest, people with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg News in March.
"The launch of the new consoles is traditionally the time when we see exciting new game franchises," Joe Minton, president of San Francisco-based Digital Development Management, which represents game developers, said in an interview before yesterday's event. "We've got to suffer through another year and a half before that happens."

Simply awful.
Speaking of guidos and guidettes. They were having a field day for a while on the Today show with that guidette that tried to hire someone to kill her husband. The dude was the typical built upper body, tan, high pitched voice and the chick was fake tits, lip implants, etc.

The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors
€ 47,99
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
Dezember 2007
BeschreibungKhrisna of India. Thammuz of Syria. Esus of the Celtic Druids. Mithra of Persia. Quexalcoati of Mexico. All were crucified gods, and all met their fates hundreds of years before Jesus appeared on the scene. In this foundational work of modern atheism, American spiritualist KERSEY GRAVES (1813-1883) breaks the Christ myth down into its component parts and ably demonstrates how the story of Jesus has its roots in the depths of antiquity. Here you'll read about the surprising prevalence throughout global folklore of:
. the miraculous and immaculate conception of the gods
. stars that point out the time and place of a savior's birth
. angels, shepherds, and magi visiting an infant savior
. the 25th of December as the universal birth date of gods
. saviors who descend into Hell
. and much more.
This is essential reading for students of comparative mythology and modern freethinkers.

st: Creation of a pay levels variable
Tue, 16 May 2006 14:42:16 +0000 (GMT)
Dear Statalist
I am working on a cross-section dataset, with different firms and different individuals. How would one generate a variable, pay levels, say, yij which is taken from individual wokers' self reports (across 12 wage bands), and converted into earnings per hour using the reports of hours worked.
I have a variable of weekly pay bands and also a variable for "how many hours, including overtime or extra hours, do you usually work".
I then have to work out the log pay per hour per worker.
I tried various things but could not figure out the best way to create this variable in Stata. I can manually work it out, but I do not know, how to create this variable in Stata.
Many Thanks in advance

after he runs to his car to grab his firearm to confront bad guy. he saved the company money and possibly the lives of their employees and customers! disgusting.
AutoZone employee fired after taking action against
Facebook group just started to boycott Autozone (just as reference. i'm not a huge boycott guy): http://www.facebook.com/BoycottAutoz...OfDevinMcclean

Even though this is a rerun of another post I still have AutoZone crossed off my list for buying car parts. I told my buddy who does car work & spends upwards of $500 a week on parts & he also will stop using them.
USN Submarine & UDT/SEAL Veteran
1SG, US Army Retired - Airborne Infantry All the Way!
Retired PI/Armed Security
I will now go to PeP boys, O'Rielly, or an independent dealer. NO MORE AUTOZONE.
Sorry folks, I see it different. While I can understand an appreciate his motive, I cannot say I agree with his actions.
Should read:
"Autozone fires employee for breaking company policy and using bad judgement."
He escaped danger, got to a safe place, and should have called 911 while remaining there, or moving to safety. Grabbing your gun and running BACK into danger is just plain a bad idea if it's not your family.
My opinion is based on my training and my knowledge of the law in the state of Minnesota.
As far as decision making I have already said my peace in another thread.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?
And I said, Here am I. Send me!
Isaiah 6:8
You could call it a bad idea if it's not your family, or you could call it selfless and concerned for the safety of others, and not just running for your own life.
"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet."
-General James Mattis, USMC
I always liked NAPA better anyway. No big loss.
I wouldn't be surprised if their competitors would have done the same thing in the situation. I know for a fact O'Reilly's has a no weapons policy for employees on their property. {On their property, PERIOD. So if you have it in the glovebox and you park in their lot, you are breaking policy.}.
For those Virgina/East Coast guys looking for a new parts store: Advance Auto was started in, and is still based in Virginia.
FWIW-I don't think he should have gone back in. Once he exited the building, the threat was gone (for him personally.). I'm not going back into a building with an armed criminal to "save" co-workers, I would only put myself knowingly into that situation if my immediate/nuclear family was in danger. Thats just me. I'm not a law enforcement officer, and I don't pretend to be one or act like one.
"To blame a gun for a mans decision is to foolishly attribute free will to an inanimate object"- Colion Noir.
I'd rather find another minimum wage job than have someone find my body at work after a robbery. When I was younger, I recall a fast food joint being held up and robbed. The robber(s) marched all of the employees into the deep freezer, and lined them up, and shot and killed every one of them, saving one who survived the gunshots due to the drop in temperature from the freezer. This happened before opening if I recall, so nobody found the people back in the freezer till about 3 hours later when people called to see why the place was still locked up and closed.
I'd rather carry and know I can defend myself. I understand the consequences of doing so, and I accept them.
Already running
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
