The Brown Fairy Book HTML version
The Story of the Yara
Down in the south, where the sun shines so hotly that everything and everybody sleeps all
day, and even the great forests seem silent, except early in the morning and late in the
evening--down in this country there once lived a young man and a maiden. The girl had
been born in the town, and had scarcely ever left it; but the young man was a native of
another country, and had only come to the city near the great river because he could find
no work to do where he was.
A few months after his arrival, when the days were cooler, and the people did not sleep
so much as usual, a great feast was held a little way out of the town, and to this feast
everyone flocked from thirty miles and more. Some walked and some rode, some came in
beautiful golden coaches; but all had on splendid dresses of red or blue, while wreaths of
flowers rested on their hair.
It was the first time that the youth had been present on such an occasion, and he stood
silently aside watching the graceful dances and the pretty games played by the young
people. And as he watched, he noticed one girl, dressed in white with scarlet
pomegranates in her hair, who seemed to him lovelier than all the rest.
When the feast was over, and the young man returned home, his manner was so strange
that it drew the attention of all his friends.
Through his work next day the youth continued to see the girl's face, throwing the ball to
her companions, or threading her way between them as she danced. At night sleep fled
from him, and after tossing for hours on his bed, he would get up and plunge into a deep
pool that lay a little way in the forest.
This state of things went on for some weeks, then at last chance favoured him. One
evening, as he was passing near the house where she lived, he saw her standing with her
back to the wall, trying to beat off with her fan the attacks of a savage dog that was
leaping at her throat. Alonzo, for such was his name, sprang forward, and with one blow
of his fist stretched the creature dead upon the road. He then helped the frightened and
half- fainting girl into the large cool verandah where her parents were sitting, and from
that hour he was a welcome guest in the house, and it was not long before he was the
promised husband of Julia.
Every day, when his work was done, he used to go up to the house, half hidden among
flowering plants and brilliant creepers, where humming-birds darted from bush to bush,
and parrots of all colours, red and green and grey, shrieked in chorus. There he would
find the maiden waiting for him, and they would spend an hour or two under the stars,
which looked so large and bright that you felt as if you could almost touch them.
'What did you do last night after you went home?' suddenly asked the girl one evening.

May 1995 Louisiana flood
The May 1995 Louisiana flood, also known as the May 8–10, 1995, New Orleans area flood event, struck the New Orleans metropolitan area, shutting down the city for two days.
The entire 40-hour event from the evening of Monday, May 8, through the morning of Wednesday, May 10, consisted of two distinct heavy rainfalls. By Wednesday morning, storm total rainfall amounts of 10 to 20 inches (25 to 51 cm) were common across portions of southeast Louisiana and south Mississippi. Six people were killed. The event was later estimated to have caused more than $3.1 billion in damage.[1]
Meteorological synopsis[edit]
A cold front approached the region from the west, preceded by a squall line. The airmass that entered western Louisiana on May 8 exhibited considerably lower dewpoints than the tropical airmass across east Louisiana and southeast Mississippi. The mid-level short wave which accompanied the cold front quickly exited to the northeast, causing the front to weaken and slow. By the evening of May 9, the cold front dissipated in the vicinity of Baton Rouge. The remnant frontal trough served as a focusing axis for heavy precipitation that continued into the late morning hours of May 10. An upper-level trough became negatively tilted to the west of the area, providing ample upper-level divergence as well as mid-level and upper-level cold and dry air advection. At the surface, warm and moist air moved in from the Gulf of Mexico continually during the event. The swath of highest rainfall totals was closely tied to a theta-e ridge at the 850mb pressure surface, which stretched from the central Gulf of Mexico into the Mississippi River Delta area.
The massive rainfall totals were generally caused by the stalled out frontal system. Heavy, "training" thunderstorms continued to form over the same areas for several hours. Pumping stations were overwhelmed and could not pump out the water into Lake Pontchartrain. At the time, pumping stations were only rated to pump 1 inch (2.5 cm) per hour maximum.
- Approximately 5:30 p.m. on May 7th... heavy rainfall begins across areas south of Lake Pontchartrain, continuing into the early morning hours of May 8th.
- Early morning hours on May 8th... Flooding began in Jefferson Parish and Orleans Parish, including the cities of New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, River Ridge, and Harahan
- Evening hours on May 9th... Heavy rainfall occurs across areas north of Lake Pontchartrain in Saint Tammany Parish, Louisiana, including Slidell, Covington, Mandeville, and Abita Springs. Heavy rainfall also occurs across south Mississippi, especially portions of Pearl River County, Hancock County, and Harrison County, including Bay St. Louis and Gulfport.
- Late evening May 9th... flooding begins extends into the Northshore areas of Louisiana and also coastal Mississippi.
- May 10th... severe river flooding impacts areas along the Wolf River, Tchoutacabouffa River, and Jourdan River in Mississippi, each of which set new record stages (Wolf River flooding from Hurricane Isaac in 2012 subsequently broke the record).
The heaviest rainfall from the first wave of rainfall occurred on the southshore of Lake Pontchartrain in the New Orleans metropolitan area, with a secondary maxima on the northshore. Heaviest rainfall from the second wave occurred across the northshore of Lake Pontchartrain and coastal Mississippi. By May 10th, rainfall totals of 10-20 inches were common. Some notable two-day totals from the National Weather Service archives and post-event surveys:
- Abita Springs, LA: 24.46"
- Necaise, MS: 27.50"
- New Orleans (Tulane University), LA: 24.05"
- New Orleans (International Airport), LA: 9.67"
- New Orleans (Lakefront Airport), LA: 15.44"
- Slidell, LA: 19.09"
Unofficial/unknown source
- Harahan, LA: 14.88"
- Kenner, LA: 17.11"
- Metairie, LA: 19.39"
- New Orleans East, LA: 20.20"
- Mandeville, LA: 23.66"
- Madisonville, LA: 22.86"
- Covington, LA: 21.00"
- Lacombe, LA: 34.76"
- Hammond 8.54"
For both waves of rainfall, several locations neared or exceeded 24‑hour rainfall amounts estimated as having a 1% chance of being exceeded in a given year, (100 year average recurrence interval) as determined by both the National Weather Service Technical Paper 40 and reports by the Southern Regional Climate Center.
Some have compared this to the great November 1979 Louisiana flood, or the more recent November 7–8, 1989 Louisiana flood, though the May 8th flood was more extensive and costlier than both combined. It was the worst flooding the city had experienced between hurricanes Betsy in 1965 and Katrina in 2005. There has been no comparable recorded flood in New Orleans caused by rain alone, although rain also caused significant street flooding in New Orleans on Good Friday of 1927 and May 3, 1978.
Six people died as a result of the flooding. The city of New Orleans suffered $360 million in damages, and the damage of the surrounding areas put that total above $3 billion.[1] Some 56,000 homes were damaged in 12 Parishes. Thousands of cars were flooded. 14,600 homes and apartments were flooded in Jefferson Parish alone.
New pumping stations were built and canals were expanded to prevent further catastrophic rainfall floods. Some politicians began to push for pumping rain waters directly into the Mississippi River, but environmental groups argued against this plan. The idea has since been raised in brainstorming for ideas in how to prevent flooding in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
The flood prompted expansions and improvements of the city's drainage and pumping system, especially in the worst hit portions of the city, including improvements to the underground canals under Napoleon and Claiborne Avenues in Broadmoor and other SELA projects to improve drainage in Hollygrove connected to the 17th St. Canal.

Hurricanes 44
Highlanders 49
It's not often that a dead game has so much life. It's not often that a supposedly dead team has so much life either but whether it was luck, probability or something they had been saving up for, the Highlanders delivered a performance that was emphatic for just long enough to see them squeeze home.
That they scored 49 points and nearly lost sums up the random and impossible nature of the game. At 35-13 the Highlanders had the game in the bag. At 49-27, they had the game in the bag - but somehow, not once, but twice, the Hurricanes were able to find their way back into the game.
The Highlanders were determined not to nail the coffin shut and what a tragedy that would have been. Because they were superb on the counter attack, structured on defence and aggressive in the collisions for 50 minutes. It was rugby as they simply haven't played this year. It was rugby that was frustratingly good - in that made a mockery of their bottom place on the table and alluded to how their season should have looked.
They were helped no end by the fact the Hurricanes were unacceptably bad for 50 minutes. Who would know what happened there? They couldn't hold the ball. They couldn't make their tackles or hold their shape. They ran too laterally, asked too few questions and made a mountain of unforced errors.
By the time they settled, found some kind of flow, they were a long way back.
When Aaron Smith was yellow-carded after 50 minutes, there was virtually no prospect of the Hurricanes hauling the game back - but they so nearly did. They got to within eight points before Smith returned.
If the Hurricanes had been able to consolidate at 35-27 once the Highlanders, the final quarter would have been especially dramatic. But no - they made the mistake of slipping off Kade Poki again and then compounded matters by doing the same when the ball reached Hosea Gear on the other wing. Given some space, Gear breezed past three defenders to score and two minutes later Elliot Dixon was storming under the posts after TJ Ioane had been able to break four tackles and then make a no-look pass.
That Dixon score restored some kind of order on the scoreboard if not the game.
The rugby was fast and furious - almost ludicrously open and again two quick tries by the Hurricanes left them within touching distance by the last five minutes.
The Highlanders knew they had to hold on because they had put in far too much to throw it away. If nothing else they owed it to Colin Slade, the forgotten man, who suddenly gave a reminder of why he was the man the All Blacks chose to back up Daniel Carter in World Cup year. He's had a horrible time since he limped out of the World Cup semi-final in 2011 has Slade.
He had to see first Aaron Cruden then Stephen Donald steal the show after Carter was ruled out of the tournament. Then he badly broke his ankle last year and really, probably, the reason he's starting to come good now is that he's finally fully physically restored and as a result, mentally in tune with the game again.
He kicked superbly off both feet and he launched a thrilling counter-attack from deep inside his own half when he beat three defenders and slipped a one-handed pass to Hosea Gear that led to a spectacular try.
It was his timely interjection after Ben May hopelessly charged out of the line that led to another opportunist try midway through the first half and his confidence soared from there until he was bizarrely subbed after an hour.
Hurricanes 44 (A. Dixon, B. Franks, J. Savea, C. Smylie, J. Broadhurst tries; B. Barrett 5 cons, 3 pens), Highlanders 49 (M. Tuiali'i, T. Ellison, A. Smith, K. Poki, H. Gear, E. Dixon tries; C. Slade 3 cons, 3 pens; H. Parker 2 cons).

My group loves my old, old favorite of my Grandpa's! When I was a child, he always mixed candy corn and redskin peanuts. I have noticed this year there are several flavors of candy corn! I like the new flavors, but family, not so much! So I will stick to the old plain corn with greasy salted peanuts!
does anyone remember or know how to make "white trash?" I think it's something with chex and covered with powdered sugar. Can't remember what else. Actually you could put whatever with powdered sugar and there you go!
Especially like strawberries and other fruit for dipping! yum!
Chex mix is always popular. Thers a lot of recipes out there. New ones with the new Chex cereals, cinnamon/chocolate.
I bring a big jar of mixed nuts or smoked almonds.You can always rub off the access salt and there is not a nut that is bad for you unless you are allergic.With the mixes there are a lot of preservatives and carbs I do not want.

It might sound something like this, Hamlin says: "You tell us your income and your age and some of your interests, and we promise to use this information to present you with relevant content, [such as] an ad that matches your interests."
Internet Needs to Grow Up
Still, many people--on both the privacy and advertising sides of the fence--believe there is room both for consumer privacy and for Web advertisements and content targeting using personal data. But the veil of secrecy around the use of personal data would have to be lifted.
For that to happen, many believe, everybody in the personal data economy must be more realistic about the economics of the Internet. Advertising, in one form or another, pays the bill for all things free online. Everything that website publishers, content creators, and app developers give away online is paid for with advertising--advertising that is targeted by using consumers' personal data.
Consumers are complicit in the growth of the personal data economy because we have come to expect lots of free services online. From the Internet's earliest days, we've always expected a level of anonymity--but the more free services we use, the more personal data we must give away, and the less privacy and control over our data we have. It's up to us to find our own comfort zone between those two ideals, but we need information and transparency to make that choice.
The online advertising industry needs to become much more transparent about the ways it collects and uses our personal data. If it did so, we might be more inclined to believe its claim that carefully targeted ads actually help us by making Web content more relevant and less spammy.
If a website publisher or social network is offering a "free" service in exchange for the user's personal data, the site should be very clear about that exchange. The online advertising industry should give people options--a choice between "free and tracked" or "paid and not tracked," for instance. That idea is nothing new; it's very similar to the free, ad-based services that also offer an ad-free premium service.
It's not a zero-sum game, where either privacy or targeting wins outright. Advertisers won't stop using personal data to target ads. And few consumers will quit using Facebook or other sites that collect personal data after they read this article. We can't expect complete privacy and anonymity online, but advertisers and marketers must understand where we expect privacy.
The challenge now is for everyone involved--consumers, advertisers, Internet companies, and regulators--to understand how the personal data economy really works.
Only then can we start getting busy developing some rules of the road that balance the business needs of advertisers with the privacy needs of consumers.

New Car Financing 101: Bank vs. Dealership
The time has come for you to purchase a vehicle and you are both excited and nervous. The excitement comes from the opportunity to get behind the wheel of something new and different; and the nervousness comes from the process of actually acquiring an auto loan.
One thing you know for sure is just about any auto dealership you visit will be happy to simplify the process of securing a loan by offering its own. But is taking this route better than working with an independent financial institution? How can you determine which form of new car financing is right for you?
The Basics of New Car Financing
Financing a vehicle is a relatively straightforward concept. If you don't have the money to purchase a vehicle in cash, you can acquire a loan from a financial institution that will essentially purchase the vehicle for you, then allow you to pay the vehicle's cost back in installments with interest.
According to the Federal Trade Commission, there are two primary ways individuals choose to finance a vehicle: direct lending and dealership financing.
- Direct lending: The FTC defines direct lending as obtaining a loan directly through a finance company, such as a bank or credit union. When a person purchases a vehicle via direct lending, he or she agrees to pay the amount financed, along with an agreed-upon finance charge, over a specified period of time.
- Dealer financing: Dealer financing is an arrangement between a car buyer and dealership; the buyer agrees to pay the amount financed as well as a finance charge over a period of time. In some cases, the dealership might retain the contract, but in most cases, it sells the contract to an assignee, ie. a bank, finance company or credit union, that then services the account and collects the payments.
There is a common debate as to whether direct lending or dealer financing is the best option to choose when pursuing an auto loan. In actuality, both options have pros and cons that should be explored before choosing either.
The Pros and Cons of Direct Lending and Dealer Financing
While direct lending and dealer financing are similar, the primary difference between the two is where you acquire your auto loan.
As noted by the FTC, if you work with an auto dealer, you're acquiring dealer financing; if you work directly with a bank or credit union, you're acquiring a direct loan.
But what are the pros and cons of taking either route?
Direct Lending Pros and Cons
Before heading to your bank or credit union to apply for an auto loan, consider the pros and cons of taking this option:
- Straightforward borrowing: One major benefit of working with a bank when borrowing an auto loan is the straightforward process involved. The lender is not trying to sell you a vehicle. Instead, it is making money on a loan, which means you avoid vehicle price manipulation.
- More leverage with the dealer: Acquiring a loan from a lender is similar to bringing your own cashier's check. You are essentially paying for your vehicle in cash, which gives you more leverage with the lender. Now you have the opportunity to name your price, which should be lower than the sticker value you see.
- Tougher lending criteria: One disadvantage of working with a bank or credit union is tougher lending criteria. Because the establishment's business isn't selling cars for a profit, but ensuring its borrowers pay back their loans, it doesn't just lend to anyone. This means, in order to qualify for an auto loan through direct lending, your credit score and history will likely need to be pretty good.
- Lack of incentives: Banks and credit unions that offer auto loans usually do not participate in lending incentives like 0 percent financing or bonus cash offers, unless they've developed a relationship with a specific auto dealership. This means your loan will probably come with no bells and whistles.
Car Dealer Financing Pros and Cons
Dealer financing is one of the most common ways individuals purchase vehicles. But is this the right route for you? Before deciding, examine the pros and cons of this arrangement:
- Convenience: One of the biggest reasons individuals purchase vehicles through dealer financing is convenience. There is no need to visit an independent institution first, because the dealer makes contact with a bank for you.
- Near-guaranteed approval: Dealerships have multiple financing relationships that ensure most applicants will receive a vehicle. It's also beneficial to individuals who have better credit as they could have access to multiple financing options.
- Incentives: Unlike direct lending options, dealer financing opens car buyers up to incentives such as low-rate financing and cash-back offers, which could help save buyers hundreds or thousands on their purchase.
- Subprime loans: Auto dealerships have been known for offering their customers subprime auto loans, which are essentially high-rate loans issued to individuals with credit scores of 680 or lower. While subprime auto loans are not inherently bad, dealerships have gained a reputation for issuing high-rate loans to individuals whose credit scores are deserving of higher rates.
- Hidden fees: Dealerships undoubtedly have a vested interest in each vehicle they sell. It's for this reason that some who are known as predatory lenders will take advantage of individuals who lack an understanding of the lending process by imposing unnecessary hidden fees.
- Less room to negotiate: Ever heard the saying "beggars can't be choosers"? It often applies when attempting to purchase a car from an auto dealer. This is not to say that you can negotiate car prices with the dealer, but because the dealer is determining what type of financing you're eligible for, it's easy for you to negotiate down and still end up paying more in interest and other fees tied to the financing deal.
Choosing the Best Auto Loan Financing Option
Now that you know the pros and cons of both direct lending and dealer financing, which new car financing option is best for you?
Unfortunately, no one can tell you which scenario is best. The decision comes down to a number of factors, including how good your credit score is, how important incentives are to you, how badly you need a vehicle now and how good your negotiation skills are.
But no matter which option you choose, it's good to arm yourself with the following tips to help make the process of financing a vehicle flow a bit smoother.
Car-Buying Techniques for Direct Lending and Dealer Financing
- Know your credit history: One reason dealer financing often results in individuals paying higher interest rates than necessary is the lack of knowledge buyers have before visiting a dealership. Take time to check your credit scores with the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax and TransUnion), then examine what car loan rates are typically associated with those scores.
- Understand additional lending criteria: While credit history is a major piece of the puzzle, other criteria is examined when determining whether you qualify for a loan and how high your rate will be. For instance, a company might look at your length of employment and income as major determining factors. If you've only been employed for three months or you earn $1,000 per month but want to purchase a $30,000 car, it might be difficult to qualify.
- Learn what the dealer paid for the vehicle: If you've found a vehicle you like and want to negotiate — whether you're planning to finance through the dealer or your own bank — it's good to negotiate up from the invoice price of the vehicle you want, i.e. the price the dealer paid for the vehicle, rather than negotiating down from the sticker price.
- Avoid unnecessary dealership services: Car dealerships often offer car buyers a host of expensive services that aren't truly necessary. Some include fabric protection, rust-proofing and paint sealant. These are services you can manage on your own that will save you hundreds on the total cost of the vehicle.
- Don't be afraid to walk away: Whether you're negotiating with a dealer after acquiring loan approval from your bank or are attempting to acquire financing straight from the dealer, if you don't like the offer being presented by the dealership, you don't have to cave and accept it. Instead, exercise your personal power and walk away.
It can be tough to decide whether working with a financial institution directly or securing new car financing with a dealership is the right road to take. Give yourself time to examine your personal circumstances and look at the deals being offered by both financial institutions and area dealerships. That way, you can make an educated and informed decision that will leave you with no regrets down the road.

I have a Telangiectasia below lower lip. What are my best treatment options: Laser or Scleratherapy?
What are my best treatment options-laser vs. scleratherapy and what are side effects-area is 5mm X1mm-husband does not know I'm having this removed-as not covered by insurance-what can I expect and can I cover it with make up
Doctor Answers 4
KTP 532 nm laser or the 1064 nm ND YAG laser for veins on the lip or on the skin below the lip - Buffalo Niagara, NY
The V Beam by Candela is a 595 nm pulse dye laser that is utilized for venous lakes, the purplish reticular veins on the face, especially on the lip or on the skin below the lip.
I like to use either the KTP 532 nm laser or the 1064 nm ND YAG LASER to treat reticular veins on the face or lip.

Web reference: http://www.VeinsVeinsVeins.com
Laser or Sclerotherapy for Telangiectasia below lower lip
Telangiectasias around mouth are the best and most safely treated with the pulsed-dye laser.
Consider laser for spider veins of the face
The best treatment for veins of the face is a laser, I would not consider sclerotherapy on the face for fear of scarring.

Lip telangiectasia
I would definitely recommend laser treatment for the telangiectasia under your lip. Given the size and location of the lesion, laser will give you a very nice result. Specifically, a pulsed dye laser or 532nm KTP laser would be most effective. You can expect a small amount of swelling and there is a possibility of a small purplish bruise in this area which will resolve within a week. You can cover this area with concealer make up if you desire after treatment. Best wishes.

The room is located in a ten minutes walk distance from Stratford Station.
You get what you pay. A room in a quiet area with WC/Bath and a kitchen.
Everything was very clean and I would recommend this accomodation to everyone who needs a place for a few days.
The room is a good value for money. The location is really brilliant, with easy access to busses, underground and DLR. The room was clean and cosy. The only minus was the window, it was very old and we were not able to close it. However, it was not a problem for us because the weather was good and the heater was working as well. The kitchen was very well equipped with the fridge, microwave, oven, cooker, washing machine, as well as cutlery, pots, cups, and more. We felt very comfortable at the property.
Rosi was very helpful to my visitor and the property itself was very spacious and good. Couldn't have wished for a better location, with everything within very short walking distance.
I highly recommend this property and will definitely use again.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Estuve con unos amigos el fin de semana pasado y estuvimos muy bien. Lo único negativo la ducha. La de un baño estaba estropeada y la del otro salía con muy poca presión.
Horrible! La casa más sucia que e visto nunca, no pude ni calentar un vaso de leche en el microondas de la mierda que tenía! La ducha estaba rota, el baño daba asco.. La cama era súper incómoda, se me clavaban los muelles por todos lados! Nada nada nada recomendable
Todo perfecto, muy limpio y Rosi se portó muy bien con nosotros.
Todo era perfecto, distancia de transporte público, de este al centro, el problema es que la calefacción no funcionaba, la cocina perfecta, muy limpia, las habitaciones igual, pero durante nuestra estancia tuvimos problema con la calefacción.

This is the first time I have purchased a natural sunscreen and have been impressed with this product. I have used it on my face over my daily moisturiser and it is a little tacky even when rubbed into the skin. There is a very faint whiteish film but once foundation is applied this disappears as well as the tackiness. Stays matt all day with no shine at all. Will be purchasing this product again.

From the abstract: "The paper investigates the reasons why person-to-person electronic funds transfers are still not very common in the United States compared with practices in many other countries. The paper also describes recent enhancements to online and mobile banking that provide account holders with low-cost interfaces to manage person-to-person electronic funds transfers via automated clearing house (ACH). On the theoretical side, the paper characterizes the critical mass levels needed for payment instruments to become widely adopted. Given the Fed's long-term heavy involvement in check clearing, the paper concludes with policy discussions of whether intervention is needed."
She asks: "Instead of going through huge contortions to store [payment card] data securely on the phone – and possibly paying through the nose for it – why not simply avoid putting the card data on the phone?"
Moving money, once a function managed only by the biggest companies in the world, is now a feature available to any code jockey. Ivey is just one of hundreds of engineers and entrepreneurs who are attacking the payment ecosystem, seeking out ways small and large to tear down the stronghold the banks and credit card companies have built."

Solutions Overview
This script is Copyright (C) 2011-2017 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
Synopsis :
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.
Description :
Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues, address
several hundred bugs and add numerous enhancements are now available
as part of the ongoing support and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux version 6. This is the first regular update.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS)
base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for
each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
This update fixes the following security issues :
* Multiple buffer overflow flaws were found in the Linux kernel's
Management Module Support for Message Passing Technology (MPT) based
controllers. A local, unprivileged user could use these flaws to cause
a denial of service, an information leak, or escalate their
privileges. (CVE-2011-1494, CVE-2011-1495, Important)
* A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Ethernet bonding driver
implementation. Packets coming in from network devices that have more
than 16 receive queues to a bonding interface could cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2011-1581, Important)
* A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking subsystem. If the
number of packets received exceeded the receiver's buffer limit, they
were queued in a backlog, consuming memory, instead of being
discarded. A remote attacker could abuse this flaw to cause a denial
of service (out-of-memory condition). (CVE-2010-4251, Moderate)
* A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Transparent Huge Pages (THP)
implementation. A local, unprivileged user could abuse this flaw to
allow the user stack (when it is using huge pages) to grow and cause a
denial of service. (CVE-2011-0999, Moderate)
* A flaw was found in the transmit methods (xmit) for the loopback and
InfiniBand transports in the Linux kernel's Reliable Datagram Sockets
(RDS) implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw
to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1023, Moderate)
* A flaw in the Linux kernel's Event Poll (epoll) implementation could
allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2011-1082, Moderate)
* An inconsistency was found in the interaction between the Linux
kernel's method for allocating NFSv4 (Network File System version 4)
ACL data and the method by which it was freed. This inconsistency led
to a kernel panic which could be triggered by a local, unprivileged
user with files owned by said user on an NFSv4 share. (CVE-2011-1090,
* A missing validation check was found in the Linux kernel's
mac_partition() implementation, used for supporting file systems
created on Mac OS operating systems. A local attacker could use this
flaw to cause a denial of service by mounting a disk that contains
specially crafted partitions. (CVE-2011-1010, Low)
* A buffer overflow flaw in the DEC Alpha OSF partition implementation
in the Linux kernel could allow a local attacker to cause an
information leak by mounting a disk that contains specially crafted
partition tables. (CVE-2011-1163, Low)
* Missing validations of null-terminated string data structure
elements in the do_replace(), compat_do_replace(), do_ipt_get_ctl(),
do_ip6t_get_ctl(), and do_arpt_get_ctl() functions could allow a local
user who has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to cause an information
leak. (CVE-2011-1170, CVE-2011-1171, CVE-2011-1172, Low)
Red Hat would like to thank Dan Rosenberg for reporting CVE-2011-1494
and CVE-2011-1495

Get set for the most magical colour experience in TV with Sony BRAVIA
The TRILUMINOS Display provides a heightened sense of depth to images, showcasing colours as they should be.
New Delhi: The latest line-up of Sony's BRAVIA TVs is powered with some of the best features that provide incredible sound, immersive 3D experience, one-touch connectivity with a huge range of apps in distinctive design. But there in one groundbreaking technology that Sony is boasting about, the Triluminos Technology.
Unique to Sony, The TRILUMINOS Display provides a heightened sense of depth to images, showcasing colours as they should be. This next-generation back-lit technology expands the gamut of viewable colours, reproducing natural shades for a more vivid, richer, and more intense range that's as close to reality as television gets.
TRILUMINOS Display creates incredibly true, natural shades of colours - just the way you want to see them. The red and emerald green hues are displayed beautifully. The landscapes and seascapes look more vivid, richer and more intense. The technology expands the range of colours enriching your viewing with a wider palette of rich and natural colours. Compared with ordinary TV displays, reds are more vivid and life-like, hard-to-reproduce greens and blues look more natural.
Sony's new Triluminos displays are the first consumer devices (let alone TVs) to make use of quantum dots - a semiconductor technology that uses "tuned" nanocrystals so small that they exhibit quantum properties, emitting light only at predetermined wavelengths. The resulting displays reportedly see as much as a 50 per cent increase in colour gamut, or the range of colours that the screens can reproduce.
Sony's approach uses an uncoated LED inside a thin glass tube packed with red and green quantum dots supplied by Massachussetts Company QD Vision. When the dots get blasted with electricity, they only emit light at their characteristic wavelengths, which, combined with the blue light from the LED, form a white light that's more intense at those three points. The resulting mix is easier to filter, letting more vibrant colours show through.
Sony has introduced this technology in its BRAVIA X9004, X9000, W950A, W900A and W850A Series.
Along with Triluminos technology, the BRAVIA TVs also have X-Reality PRO advanced image processing engine, bass reflex speaker, Sense of Quartz design, 3D experience, One-touch connectivity via NFC and huge range of videos, music and apps through Sony Entertainment Network.

Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery.

CRIME TIME follows the major court trials in the media and provides in-depth analysis, information and insight that you won't find on any other channel or network on TV or online.
In between courtroom trials we feature renowned guests on topics including Crime Scene Investigation, Forensic Psychiatry, Serial Killers and Criminal Law.
Allison Hope Weiner was a Century City entertainment litigator before she began writing about Hollywood as a journalist. A graduate of Columbia University and the University of Southern California Law Center, she joined the legendary firm of Wyman, Bautzer—where she represented entertainers and corporate media clients. After leaving Wyman and spending four years at another West Side law firm, Ms. Weiner began writing freelance articles about the business of entertainment for Los Angeles Magazine, George, Entertainment Weekly, TV Guide and Buzz. Hired by Entertainment Weekly in 2001, she covered the industry for five years, writing cover stories and features, and reporting many articles for the magazine's must-read annual Power List. Ms. Weiner landed exclusives with James Gandolfini during his contentious contract dispute with HBO over "The Sopranos"; the only print interview with Paul Reubens after his plea deal for possession of child pornography; and gained access to the personal files of Bonnie Lee Bakeley, the actor Robert Blake's slain wife, for a piece about how Bakeley's obsession with celebrities led to her death.
Weiner left Entertainment Weekly as a senior writer in 2005 to report for The New York Times, beginning with a Styles section profile of the legendary Hollywood lawyer Bert Fields, a subject of the federal investigation into celebrity private eye, Anthony Pellicano. She covered the movies and television for the paper for several years, writing exclusive pieces about the federal investigation and trial of Pellicano and his connection to many Los Angeles powerbrokers including Brad Grey, Ron Burkle and Ron Meyer. After refusing to name her sources on the Pellicano piece, the F.B.I. opened an investigation to determine her sources on the story. While working for the paper, Weiner also landed exclusive interviews with Mel Gibson, M. Night Shymalan, Brian Grazer and other Hollywood power players. She also wrote feature stories about the drug use and untimely death of the model-turned-bounty hunter Domino Harvey, the criminal investigation into the tactics of local L.A. paparazzi and was one of the first to write about the new speed of scandal and the world of Harvey Levin's TMZ. She blogged for The Huffington Post during the trial of Anthony Pellicano and is a contributor to both Deadline Hollywood and Vanity Fair. She's also appeared extensively on many national entertainment television news shows including Entertainment Tonight, E! News, CBS Morning Show, Headline News, Extra and CNN. She is currently a contributor to E! News. Her most recent interview with Lindsay Lohan's criminal lawyer, Shawn Holley, appeared both on E! News and was featured extensively on the channel's website.

Stalking Vol 2 The Bridge of Reason HTML version
"You tell me."
"The emissaries can see what the Players are planning?"
"Yes, and they set up activities they will act out in the First Attention."
"Then the Players are..." I exhaled in wonderment.
"They are what?"
"I was about to say that they're pretty much fucked, but I will amend that; they're entirely
"They are indeed."
"With that kind of power and knowledge, why can't the emissaries just shut them down?" I
snapped my fingers.
"Impeccability and free will must reign, which includes allowing the Player's their choices
lest they interfere with a lesson yet to be completed." She leaned in. "Influencing an existing
momentum, without attaching yourself to it, is also a fine art. This is why I literally took you by
the hand to make a point about focusing your energy so you don't get sucked into someone else's
vortex." She dipped her head in thought. "How did your friend Manny, in Argentina, put it when
nothing was happening in that remote town you went to…'This is still dangerous shit?'"
I got the point; three weeks under house arrest cemented it.
Clearing my throat, I said, "When my ego learns its place, I'll be able to look at other
people, and with a few categorical clues know," I emphasized, "what they are like without
having to dissect all of their camouflage behaviors?"
"Like recognizing the elements of entitlement—correct."
Noting my subdued grin, Bonnie said, "It's not the treat you're thinking it might be." She
cocked her head a minuscule amount. "For a Stalker, knowing someone is like having power
over an ant. It's meaningless. If anything, they must take great care not to step on them."
"That sounds hugely arrogant and manipulative."
"There's no gentle way of saying this; I love my cat, but we can't talk about the things that
are important to me."
"Average people are like pets to Stalkers?"
"I've explained this: they've been us, but now there is a huge gap in our understandings of
not just what's truly important in life, but in the nature of reality itself." She swallowed an idea
and said instead, "I know the journey of the average person, and I empathize with their
difficulties, but I could not tolerate on- going friendships based on past experiences I have turned
into knowledge, and they have not. The people in my past have their own agreements with the
life they have chosen, and I have mine. It's that simple. I am not better than anyone else because
they are me in future time, as I am someone else's past version in developmental terms. That said
I am infinitely better off as I consciously strive to pass through my learning stages, and
tomorrow is a new experience that might cause me to leave someone else. This is not because I
judge them, or because I am ready to move on; it's because I have to move on. This may appear
to be arrogant, but it is simply not spending energy on the behaviors that come with having a
personality. I'm not that reasonable anymore," she deadpanned.
Missing the joke, I said, "Your idea of being better off sounds like humilit y masking
"Everyone you interact with is a choice you both agree on, as a potential means for both of
you to explore yourselves. Fundamentally, this is the design of the average person's journey—I
told you, there are no accidents. Stalkers know this and have transcended this unconscious phase
of self-evaluation; having an advanced outlook may seem like superiority, because transcending

BONDO - the cure of all evils.....
I have 2 area in which I plan to use a recessed hinge.
There is a *rough in hole* that I need to plug up . Part of the new routed hole for this hinge will be in this area.
Can I take Bondo and just fill it in....as I assume it will be just as hard if not harder when all said and done.
Not sure about Bondo, as I believe that is a fiberglass filler. They do make 2 part epoxy products, but I don't know if it will be structural. I would use screws that penetrate the jamb and go into the framing beyond.
Funny. This has come up just a few times this week. I post again that Bondo is great for repairing autobody surfaces and maybe some fiberglass boat hulls. It is not a product for wood.
Your best bet are wood epoxy fillers from a nice company like Abatron or your real paint store may have alternatives. WoodEpox is pricey but great stuff to work with. It is structural and made to work with wood fibers. You will have no problem tooling it.
If you must buy from a box store check the expiration date of any two part stuff like epoxy. HD, Lowe's and others are notorious for not moving dated stock and you have not experienced a true living nightmare until you find yourself with resin that will never cure because the catalysts to cure them are outdated.
This is what you need:
I love this stuff. Great for filling holes, reshaping corners, etc. When it's dry it sands, preps, and paints with the same characteristics as wood. It's solid - solid enough to drive screws into.
It is fun and Parts A and B come in the same tube. You just knead them together to start the catalytic reaction and the resin curing process. You still want to check for expiration date though. It is not great for large holes or patches and you cannot easily putty knife and surface the stuff. It is fairly dense. Should work out well for your hinge situation though. I would still go with WoodEpox if it were me.
But you know, if you can get the stuff with French labeling as shown? You might be more attractive to women. If you wear a beret when working with it and carry french bread under your sweaty, hairy armpits home for dinner when the door hinge is in place.
This is what I use.
Cheap, easy to mix, hardens fast and sands great.
Bondo has a product designed for patching wood. It is a paintable material. I used it to repair a few exterior wood posts on my wrap around porch. The repairs are about 3 years old and are still in great condition.
i always drill a hole and fill with a dowel, then redrill. Im not saying that bondo materials wont work but i personally find a limited use on wood. Wood shrinks overtime and bondo does not and sometimes cracks.
You left out the most important of items to have with you.
A bottle of red wine, and some Chanel #5.
France can no longer produce a decent red wine. You have to go to Italy or actually Australia or California. My cousin owned an award winning winery in Painter, Virginia but aged and couldn't deal with it. I almost bought the place from him.

Lifestyle modifications and pharmaceutical treatment of risk factors for cardiovascular disease are associated with improvement in sexual function among men with erectile dysfunction (ED), according to a meta-analysis posted Online First in Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
"Erectile dysfunction shares modifiable risks factors with atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD), including hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, cigarette smoking, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and sedentary behavior," according to background information in the article. "Erectile dysfunction has a high prevalence in individuals with multiple cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and is an independent predictor or CV events and may serve as the sentinel marker for CV disease (CVD)."
Bhanu P. Gupta, M.D., and colleagues with the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., conducted a meta-analysis of six previous randomized controlled trials from four countries to evaluate the effects of lifestyle intervention and pharmaceutical treatment of cardiovascular risk factors on the severity of ED.
The six trials examined in the meta-analysis included a total of 740 participants, with the number of participants per trial ranging from 12 to 372. Average age of the participants was 55.4 years and the study duration ranged from 12 to 104 weeks. All studies included in the analysis showed improvement in ED with lifestyle changes and improvement in blood lipid parameters.
The authors found that improvement in CV risk factors was associated with statistically significant improvement in sexual function in men with ED. When trials using pharmaceutical treatment were excluded and only studies using lifestyle interventions were examined, the improvement in sexual function was still statistically significant. Pharmaceutical treatment targeting CV risk factors also demonstrated improvement in sexual function.
"In summary, this study further strengthens the evidence of improvement in ED and maintenance of sexual function with lifestyle intervention and CV risk factor reduction," the authors write. "Men with ED provide an opportunity to identify CV risk factors and initiate lifestyle changes."
Commentary: Quality of Lifestyle and Quality of Life
In an accompanying commentary, Militza Moreno, M.D., and Thomas A. Pearson, M.D., M.P.H., Ph.D., both of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, New York, discuss the link between a healthy lifestyle and quality of life, writing, "the number of health benefits that accrue to persons with healthy lifestyles continue to increase in number and importance."
Moreno and Pearson also note that the meta-analysis conducted by Gupta et al shows the "meaningful benefits of healthy lifestyle on cerebrovascular disease and erectile dysfunction." They continue to say that, "the increasing epidemic of obesity in the United States is a clarion call to step up our efforts to motivate our patients and the public at large to make even small changes toward healthier lifestyles. These new associations between healthy lifestyles and reducing incidence of stroke, congestive heart failure, and ED can add additional powerful persuaders."
"The cost of hospital admissions, physician visits, and pharmacotherapy for stroke and ED are certainly enormous," they write. "Both clinicians and public health practitioners should be reassured that the benefits of their lifestyle modification efforts are overwhelmingly positive and continue to grow, and we should renew our efforts to help patients add life to the years, as well as years to life."

Dec 31 2012
I had the best time with my Dad at the Raiders game.
We had sideline passes before the game which was really cool on this special night.
The Hall of Fame is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and the Raiders' Hall of Famers were honored Thursday night.
Several of them lit the Al Davis torch before the game and were honored at halftime on the field.
Twelve of the Raiders Hall of Famers were standing right by us!
John Madden, Howie Long and Dave Casper walked right by me on the field with their gold jackets, awesome...
Then the Raiders photographer brought me onto the field to take pictures.
I was walking back to the sidelines and Roger Goodell comes up to me and signs my football.
It was about kick off time so my Dad and I went to our seats. We had some steak sandwiches, cotton candy and cheered on our team.
What a night, Go Raiders!

MIAMI » A tropical depression is moving west in the Atlantic and is expected to degenerate over the next couple of days.
The depression's maximum sustained winds late Tuesday were 35 mph. The U.S. National Hurricane Center says little change in strength is expected Wednesday, but the depression is forecast to degenerate into a trough of low pressure by Thursday.
The depression is centered about 675 miles east of the Lesser Antilles and is moving west at about 18 mph.

In the Congo Basin they call it kindoki. West Africans use the word juju whilst in the Caribbean it is obeah. Around the world there are many different terms for witchcraft but for those accused of sorcery the effect is often chillingly violent.
Victims are ostracised, abandoned, tortured and – as the murder of 15-year-old Kirsty Bamu has revealed – even killed by those who hold deeply entrenched beliefs that people can be possessed by evil spirits.
In twenty-first century Britain we might view witchcraft as a harmless superstition from a bygone era. But for many an accusation of sorcery still ruins lives.
"It's difficult for a white person to understand how dangerous it is when someone has been accused of witchcraft," says Timothee Seke, a London-based Congolese man who works as a translator. "The government has no idea how pervasive this problem is – how many people are accused of witchcraft all the time."
For more than two decades Mr Seke has interpreted for organisations as diverse as the Home Office, the police, local authorities and charities.
"Sadly the murder of Kirsty Bamu is not the first time I've come across kindoki," he says. "I've dealt with police cases, care proceedings, domestic arguments, you name it. Kindoki comes up all the time."
There are many cultures across the globe that still believe in witchcraft. But observers have watched with alarm as the belief in black magic has become increasingly popular across much of central and western Africa.
Nowhere is the conviction more widespread than in the Congo Basin. In Kinshasa alone there are an estimated 14,000 children sleeping rough because they have been cast out of their homes following an allegation of witchcraft.
Traditional Congolese culture believes in two realms – the physical and spiritual.
"There is another world outside the world we are able to see, touch, smell or feel," explains Lukengo Diansangu, a social worker who has written critically about his community's beliefs in kindoki. "If I am ill, obviously something has caused my illness such as a virus or a bacterium. But kindoki teaches people to look for the causation of a disease. We might ask: why did my daughter die of malaria when my neighbours' daughter lived?"
In other words, when bad things happen it is usually because a witch has made it happen, either by casting a spell or possessing the body of another.
Ironically the growth of evangelical Christianity across Africa has made matters worse, not better. This is especially true in areas were there is a strong presence of Pentecostalism which tends to portray faith in Christ as an armour one can wear against evil.
A recent detailed study of witchcraft beliefs by the UN found that rather than dispel traditional beliefs, evangelical churches have embraced kindoki by charging money to exorcise evil spirits in so-called "deliverance" ceremonies.
"Pastor prophets fight against witchcraft in the name of God, identifying witches through visions and dreams, and then offering treatment – divine healing and exorcism – to the supposed witches," wrote the report's author Aleksandra Cimpric. "The persecution of witches has become a lucrative "business" for many pastor prophets."
Although Islamic tradition holds that spirits – djinns – can persuade people to be evil, researchers have generally found that belief in witchcraft is considerably more prevalent in Christian cultures.
During Kristy Bamu's trial, no evidence emerged of any connection to a church. But religious institutions often play a key role in propagating belief in witchcraft.
"The idea that kindoki can be eradicated by beating a child doesn't come from nowhere," explains Mr Seke. "The seed has to be planted and it is usually planted in churches."
Even in supposedly mainstream African churches it is not unusual to witness deliverance services, supposedly designed to expel or counter evil spirits. The Independent has obtained video footage of a prominent Nigerian pastor slapping a young girl in the face after she said she was a "witch for Jesus".
David Oyedepo, one of Nigeria's wealthiest preachers, attacked the girl at the Winners' Chapel, one of the Nigeria's largest evangelical churches in front of thousands of worshippers. But Mr Oyedepo's church also has a number of franchises around the world including Winners Chapels in London, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool and Glasgow.
Neither Mr Oyedepo's organisation in Nigeria, nor his churches in Britain replied to requests from The Independent for comment as to whether they believed in witchcraft or approved of slapping worshippers.
Judging how prevalent witchcraft beliefs are in Britain is notoriously difficult because of a reluctance to speak out and lack of knowledge among professionals that it even exists.
"As a country we are completely ignorant about the harm that can be caused when someone is accused of being a witch," says Debbie Ariyo of Africans Unite Against Child Abuse, one of just a handful of charities that are specialists at dealing with witchcraft abuse cases. "If a girl goes to school one morning and tells her teacher that the local pastor accused her of being a witch, what will the teacher do? They would be completely clueless about the danger that child might be facing."
But it is inevitable that immigrants from communities where belief in sorcery is prevalent will bring their superstitions with them.
The murder of Ivorian schoolgirl Victoria Climbie[ACC] in February 2000 was one of the first instances where the issue of modern day witchcraft was brought to the public's attention in Britain. In the months leading up to Victoria's death she was taken by her murderers to a number of churches who told them that she was possessed. That belief helped fuel the starvation and savage beatings that led to her death.
A year later police found the limbless and headless corpse of a young boy floating in the Thames. Detectives initially named the boy Adam but it is now believed he was Ikpo Mwosa, a Nigerian child trafficked to Germany and later Britain by traditional witch doctors who sacrificed him in the name of magic. His killers have never been found although an ITV reporter tracked down a Nigerian woman in Lagos who claimed she knew the nicknames of the men who trafficked the boy to Europe.
Three Angolans were also jailed in 2003 for child cruelty when a parking warden found a traumatised eight-year-old girl in the street. Child B – her pseudonym in court – was beaten, cut and had chillis rubbed in her eyes in an attempt to "force out" an evil spirit.
In 2006 the first attempt by the government to ascertain the prevalence of belief in sorcery was carried out by health consultant Eleanor Stobart. She found 36 cases involving 47 children from police and social service records since 2000 where there was a clear link to witchcraft abuse.
Victims tended to be children under the age of 14 who were already vulnerable, often suffering disabilities or behavioural problems such as repeated nightmares and bed wetting. Families that were suffering hardship were also likely to blame a "possessed child" for their misfortune.
Abuse was generally meted out in an attempt to "beat the devil out of a child" and could take the form of starvation, beatings, being burned, isolation and long prayer sessions. Shockingly, at least ten children identified were taken overseas following an accusation of witchcraft and disappeared. According to the report, two children tried to seek help from the UK once they were taken overseas but were rebuffed because they were not British citizens. No-one knows what happened to them.
Concerned that front line workers are unaware of witchcraft accusations, the Department for Education will soon publish an "action plan" to coordinate the response of police, care workers and charities. The Metropolitan Police has also set up Project Violent II, a unit specifically dedicated to faith and culture-based crimes such as sorcery abuse, honour violence and female genital mutilation.
"We know this is an under reported crime," says the Met's Detective Superintendent Terry Sharpe. "That is why Project Violet is working with the community to raise awareness of this particular issue. Intelligence from the community is that it is far more prevalent than the cases reported."
But charities like Africans Unite Against Child Abuse fear that the authorities have barely begun to scratch the surface of how prevalent witchcraft related child abuse is.
Meanwhile efforts are being made to locate and re-educate churches that continue to practice exorcisms. The Churches Child Protection Advisory Service is one of the few organisations that actively provide advice to African churches where belief in witchcraft is common.
"The stats show that African churches are the fastest growing in the UK," says the charity's chief executive Simon Bass. "If we want to confront abuse of children we have to work with those churches." Since 2006 CCPAS has trained more than 4,000 pastors and church volunteers in child protection and how to spot signs of abuse.
