Rounding things out, the keyboard and mouse are the same models that I've seen on a couple of other systems recently. The Logitech Cordless Internet Pro set seems to be favoured chiefly based on the fact it must be the cheapest wireless set available. That said, the keyboard is adequate and the mouse does the job for everyday use. The only major problem is the lack of some kind of docking or charging mechanism, which necessitates having a constant supply of fully charged batteries to hand. And, without having any indication of battery level, this could be quite an inconvenience. Also, if you want to play games on this machine you'll probably want to invest in a better mouse.
As I would expect, this system did well in our testing with no one area proving a major bottleneck. As already mentioned, the graphics solution is not quite up to the level that someone who's really into gaming would want, but it will play all the modern 3D games currently available, you just might need to tweak the settings to get optimal performance.
Very little software is provided with the system, which in my opinion is no bad thing, so you'll probably want to invest in an office productivity suite and antivirus software when you get the system. Of course there are plenty of free options like AVG antivirus and the Open Office productivity suite so you shouldn't necessarily need to spend any more money.
What you do get is Nero CD/DVD burning software and Power DVD which enable you to use the DVD drive to its full potential. Most impressively, though, PC Specialist provides you with the original installation disc for the copy of Windows that ships with your computer, as opposed to the usual recovery disc that most machines ship with. This is great if you want to install a completely clean Windows build.
Warranty is one year return to base with the first month also covered by a free collect and return service. It's great to see this first month of extra cover because if a computer is going to go wrong it's most likely to happen within the first few weeks of use.
PC Specialist has put together a powerful system built with high quality internal components and housed in a decent chassis. The basic clean installation of software and having the actual Windows installation disc are also great for anyone that doesn't like their system bloated with added extras. What lets the package down, though, is the peripheral choices for this review sample - they simply aren't up to scratch. However, as nearly everything is customisable upon ordering, there is plenty of scope for creating just the right system.

I've uploaded 4 business cards on GR. But never sold a single item! What is going wrong?! I am a bad designer or I don't understand the trend? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
There are over 10000 business cards now, you'd have to be lucky to sell yours instantly. The category is highly saturated, so you need to be consistent in making new designs and expand your portfolio. You also need to be creative as much as possible, following the trend is sometimes not the best way to go.
Make 40 business cards for a start and you'll notice increase in sales.
Also you should think on marketing them in your social networks or design portfolios & website.
No, you are not a bad designer, i really like your business cards, but consider that for every file you upload there are other 10 (at least) the same quality as yours (at least, again ) uploaded in the same day maybe even hour. So you must do something inovative, something to stand out from the large mass of files. Adding more keyword is usefull to start with, maybe trying to promote your work via social media or some other sites. Anyway dont give up, keep creating quality items and the sales will come. Good Luck!
Thanks. What I understood from your replies, I need to design something more innovative (which is not usually found on GR), add more items to my portfolio and promote my works through social media. I'll do all three of these and see if my luck favors me. Again, thanks for the encouragement. @Demorfoza, LuisFaus and Madalincmc
I reommend not focusing on one category (like business cards) and trying to upload variety of items.
Don't get disappointed and upload more items.. good luck.
Everyone starts like this , but if you keep going on ,you will see the changes
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll switch to some other category! What about product mockups or Photoshop brush sets? These are really popular! What do you think? @Deep_Blue
I guess so! Thanks! I will keep trying.@Cata05
Also keep in mind that GR doesn't really do anything to promote your items apart from the "new items" snippet on the front page that comes and goes within a couple of hours. (I consider the search almost irrelevant as many categories are so over-saturated).
You need to be out there hustling to get people to notice that your items exist.
Thanks mattborchert I'll remember what you said

Jennifer Love Hewitt may have told Access Hollywood that "The Client List" fans could start to root for Riley's recently returned husband, Kyle, when Season 2 returns next month on Lifetime, but Colin Egglesfield, who plays his brother, and love rival Evan, thinks differently.
"Hmmm," he contemplated when Access brought up Jennifer's recent comments, when we caught up with him backstage at the Independent Spirit Awards Gift Lounge on Saturday in Santa Monica. "No they're not. Anyone who leaves their wife and their kids and takes off for a year? How can you sympathize with that?
PLAY IT NOW: Jennifer Love Hewitt Talks The Client List Season 2 Plotline & Sexy Promotion
"Horrible," Colin added, with his trademark smile. "He's a horrible man."
Of course Colin would root for Evan (as would most of "The Client List" fans!). His character had just started making headway, romantically, with Jennifer's Riley character when Kyle returned.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: The 2013 Film Independent Spirit Awards Official Gift Lounge
Speaking about the drama ahead on the show, Colin said there will be lots of love conflicts going around.
"Definitely a lot of love triangle-ness going on with a lot of lingerie and handcuffs. A lot of handcuffs involved in this season," he said. "Not in the way I think, in which you might be thinking.
"And then, there's a few other love triangles that are going to be branching off from the original love triangle, so, all sorts of geometry going on this season," he said.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: The Returning Stars Of All My Children
"The Client List" returns to Lifetime on March 10, and Colin said he's enjoyed the fan reaction to the sexy primetime show.
"It's amazing and to be on a show where people are actually watching it is, first and foremost, a great thing. But just to hear what everyone has to say about it [is great]. And working with Jennifer, has been great, she's amazing," he said.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: 'Party' Of One: The Lovely Jennifer Love Hewitt
Colin is one of the many stars who has a history in the soap world and he also chimed in on the news that "All My Children" is returning online this spring.
"It's great to see that they've revived it because I'm sure it still has a ton of fans," he said. "So, I wish 'em luck.
"And you never know. Maybe I'll come back as a ghost," he said teasingly, referencing his character, Josh Madden, who had a fiery exit, dying from a gunshot wound in a 2009 episode.

A Sleepless Winter Night On Top San Gorgonio
We had cancelled an earlier winter trip up San Gorgonio a month before due to weather. This time, in mid-February 2012, the promising weather made it easy to ignore the modest wind warnings. Just 15 to 25 mph, with gusts to 45? We'd experienced worse up there. Hadn't we? This would be my 5th time up there in the last 12 months – no problem. Bluebird skies and fresh snow called us. Matt and I were on.
The number of cars in the South Fork Trailhead lot surprised us. Twenty cars seemed more like summer traffic, not winter. In the first couple miles before Poopout Hill we passed a dozen or more people, mostly snowshoers out for the day. A few people headed toward the Summit. There was one especially well equipped solo climber with what must have been a 60 pound pack, complete with a snowboard, helmet, and lots of dangling bags. The snowshoe traffic had nicely packed down the snow from a couple days prior and made the way easy all the way to South Fork (Slushy) Meadow.
At this point, where you cross the headwaters of the Santa Ana River's South Fork, the usual winter mountaineering route is straight up the drainage below Dry Lake, which is where we headed. We passed a back-country skier with climbing skins on his skis and before we knew it, we were breaking trail through the snow. Fresh, powdery, yet sticky snow. The kind where you sink as much as a full foot down, and then bring several clumpy pounds back up with each step. The kind that has a way of slowing you way down and tiring you out. Matt kept plugging away and pulled ahead, aided by his bigger snowshoes and Ironman conditioning.
We rested at the edge of Dry Lake, enjoying the snowy expanse and our lunch. We watched the ridges above as the windswept snow curled off and took guesses at how windy it was. Funny thing was we never considered stopping, and continued up above Dry Lake behind another pair of climbers. We thought there would be a bunch of people ahead of us, but it was just us 4 breaking trail through the beautiful virgin snow.
I had done this same route twice in snow last Spring, but this time it was surprisingly different. As we continued up the 2nd chute (couloir) from the left (East), the light clumpy snow got deeper, the incline steeper, and the progress significantly slower. We had anticipated summiting easily in the late afternoon, but by sunset Matt was barely on top and I still had a quarter of the way to go up the chute. At that point, the wind kicked in as we neared the ridgeline. A cold hard wind laced with stinging snow. And the snow below us gave way to the underlying rocky scree blown clear of any accumulated snow. I wasn't sure which was worse – struggling through the soft snow lower down, or balancing atop the steep scree in my metal-bottomed snowshoes. As it got darker, my quads continued to complain and cramped up. My water froze. The wind increased.
And yet in the midst of this, I was treated to the most magnificent sunset. Brilliant reds on the Western horizon. Deep purples and grays to the North and East in the clouds over Big Bear and Joshua Tree. Stunning. I wish I had been able to have photographed what lay below me, but I was too cold, too exposed, and too anxious to reach the summit.
Sometime after 6pm I finally made the top of the ridgeline and came across the other two climbers who were digging a platform in the snow for their tent. I asked them if they knew they were not yet at the summit, which lay a half mile to the East, and told them that I thought the rock shelters would be exposed and accessible due to the minimal snow accumulation above treeline. Anxious to get out of the wind, they followed me to the summit, where I found Matt in his tent. The other climbers searched for a spot among the rocks, but all the shelters were full of blown snow and pretty useless. They eventually gave up and went back to their original spot on the ridgeline. I felt kinda bad.
I'm not sure exactly how hard the wind was blowing at this point, but I was amazed that Matt had been able to pitch his tent, by himself, and that it hadn't blown away with him in it. He invited me in, glad for the ballast. It was a cozy 3 season tent, which meant that the 2 of us barely fit, and that snow blew in through the ample vents and swirled inside. The wind continued to beat the tent. We conservatively estimated 50 mph winds with gusts into the 60s. Everything was frozen. No drinkable water. Too windy to cook or heat anything. After a bag of cold lentils and a few swigs of emergency whiskey, we hunkered down in our bags for a long night, hoping the wind would lessen.
It didn't. It got worse. All night long the sides of the tent punched at us. The hours crawled by and I stopped looking at my watch. I unsuccessfully tried to ignore nature's call. With the windchill, it was well below zero, and made any trips outside very unpleasant. By sunrise we figured conditions would not be getting any better and it was best just to pack up and head down, which we did. As we traveled back West along the ridgeline, the gust were so strong that I struggled to stay upright. A third of the way back down the chute, the wind quickly lessened in the shadow of the ridgeline, and the soft snow turned pleasant as we descended. We passed a large group from Pasadena practicing avalanche safety. At Dry Lake I broke out my stove, downed almost a liter of coffee, and ate a crunchy, frozen, hard-boiled egg. Yum.
Hydrated and fueled, we made great time the rest of the way back to the trail head. The distance was a bit over 15 miles total round trip with the same out-and-back route. It took me over 9 hours to reach the top, which is 3 hours longer than previous trips. We came down in 3.5 hours, a half hour quicker than before. I guess we were motivated to get out of the wind.
Afterword – Lesson Learned:
To quote Matt, "When they have to tell us it is going to be windy, we should probably pay attention." Next time the weather report warns of high winds, and especially when I see snow blowing off the ridges, I will avoid sleeping up there and opt to overnight lower down. Had we left earlier, we could have easily summited and then come back down in just an hour to camp comfortably at Dry Lake.
Which leads me to the next point, speed and time. I wasn't prepared for how much the snow conditions would slow me. Breaking trail in soft sticky snow with a 30 lbs pack increased the ascent time by 50% over similar previous climbs. Leaving earlier in the morning and planning on setting up camp earlier in the afternoon would at worse mean you avoid putting yourself in more compromising situations and at best mean you have daylight to enjoy lounging around camp.
The cold had greater impact than I anticipated. I was surprised at how quickly liquids and solids froze up. I need to add a Camelback insulating hose cover to my Winter equipment list. And better plan for the freezing of food, having more items that can be easily eaten without heating when tired and cold. Twice during the trip I put on heavier gloves, and twice, instead of warm hands, I got numb fingers. Cold gloves are heat sinks that suck warmth away. Mittens would be better, and keeping them deep in my pack or close to my body would help.
In terms of equipment, generally we were in good shape, although a good 4 season mountaineering tent would be added to the list next time. I slept warm and dry in my Mountain Laurel Designs Bivy, insulated by: long underwear, down pants and jacket, two comforters, a balaclava, and a down hood. I was on top of a full-length 3/8 foam pad and a torso-length Exped DownMat. With the exception of my numb fingers and driving snow hitting my face around the summit, I was comfortable climbing throughout the day in long underwear and a shell, and had extra layers if needed.
Overall, it was the weather that changed the game. The combination of fresh snow, low temperatures, and high winds all conspired to keep us on our toes, and created an environment where small mistakes or accidents could have been costly. Fortunately we were careful, or lucky – probably both. It is very easy to be lulled into a false sense of security in the San Gorgonio Wilderness. Just because you are within a couple hours of, and can look out and see 20 million people, doesn't mean that extreme alpine conditions don't exist. Be careful out there!

Facebook Timeline for Brands | Changes & Hidden Implications
View more presentations from Social@Ogilvy
Above is a presentation prepared by our Social@Ogilvy team showing a simple summary of the Pages changes and the hidden implications of Facebook Timeline for brands. Enjoy.
On February 29, 2012, Facebook announced updates to Pages at their first ever Facebook Marketers Conference in New York City. The big story, as expected, was the roll out of Timeline for brands. And the corresponding big headline, as expected, was, "Brands are multimedia storytellers!"
But, there's much more to it. The brand world will soon be divided into those who fully "adopt" Timeline, and those who simply "migrate" their old strategy and ways of working to the new feature set. Brands looking to adopt must consider and prepare for the hidden implications of Timeline – reallocation of resources, increased creative involvement, a reset of content process, the new profile of community managers and more.

Q: I gave my wife an iPad for Christmas and she is delighted with it. Unfortunately, I discovered that it would be useless for my purposes. I would need a tablet that acts like a desktop or laptop but is smaller and lighter. Specifically, I would need a tablet that would allow me to have three browsers open and visible on the screen simultaneously. Are there any tablets that would allow me to do this? A: I'd suggest you look at one of the new Windows 8 tablets that are powered by a laptop-class Intel processor and can run full, standard Windows. Perhaps the best known of these may be Microsoft's Surface Pro, but there are others. You can see some of them at http://tinyurl.com/d2j5bay . A warning, though: These tablets are typically heavier, pricier and have less battery life than an iPad. Q: Is Windows 8 now reliableRead More
[ See post to watch video ] Do you ever find yourself frantically trying to fish your phone out of a pocket or purse to find out whether that beep or buzz from the device is an important call, text or email — or just something you can ignore? What if you could simply glance at your watch to find out? Well, now you can, thanks to a new $150 digital wristwatch called Pebble that connects to an iPhone or Android phone wirelessly and displays notifications and previews of calls, texts and emails. Not only that, but the Pebble can control music playback on a phone and show at a glance the song that's playing, along with artist and album information. And of course, it tells time. It comes with multiple software watch faces and you can upload more. Even better, the Pebble, from a Silicon Valley startup of the same name, is a platform that can work with other apps and aspects of a smartphone. For instance, the company is planning to roll out options that display information from apps for runners and golfers by spring. And there are already techie workarounds that can enable the watch to link to other smartphone apps. The gadget has been much-discussed in tech circles and its founders raised millions of dollars via the crowdfunding service, Kickstarter. The Pebble wristwatch comes with multiple software watch faces in black and white and shows previews of emails and incoming call info. One important note: It isn't a wrist communicator. It cannot conduct phone calls or compose texts and emails. It just notifies you about them, by gently vibrating and displaying sender or caller info, and for messages, an excerpt, on the screen. I've been testing the Pebble watch for about five days with an iPhone 5 and a Google Nexus 4. I found the watch light and comfortable and nobody stared at me like I was wearing a computer on my wrist. I was able to receive notifications and control music on both phones.Read More

What's next for robots? They're becoming smarter, more personalized, more adaptive. But at the same time they're becoming more complex and capable, they're also becoming more basic. One MIT scientist, for instance, is trying to program physical materials to assemble themselves. Ryan Lash/TED2013 4D printer Skylar Tibbits The TED Conference in Long Beach, Calif., today presented three very different approaches to robotics: A safe industrial robot called Baxter, a cheap personal robot called Romo, and a research initiative into programmable materials such as self-folding proteins. 4D Printing Let's start with that last one. Skylar Tibbits, a lecturer in MIT's architecture department and founder of its new Self-Assembly lab, describes what he's doing as 4D printing . If the fourth dimension is time, Tibbits's projects are designed to respond to energy and change over time. At TED, he showed off a collaboration with Stratasys and Autodesk to create strands made of multiple types of materials that when dipped in water fold themselves into pre-designed shapes. Here's what it looks like : 4D Printing: MIT Self-Folding Strand from Skylar Tibbits on Vimeo . You can think of it as an extension of those tiny plastic capsules you bought as a kid at the dollar store that melt and expand in water and turn into tiny sponge creatures. (And if you never bought them, this analogy was totally ineffective.) Tibbits describes this as a fundamental shift to create things that are adaptable and have their own smarts. "It's like robotics without wires or motors," he said. James Duncan Davidson/TED2013 Keller Rinaudo and Romo Romo Romotive CEO Keller Rinaudo showed of the Romo, a product of not one but two successful campaigns on Kickstarter.

text: So, I had been working on a 2002 WRX wagon that had a knock in the engine. I dropped the motor and had the bottom end fully built; Full Manely Rotating Assembly... as well as a Brian Crower valvetrain set-up, ported and polished heads with a 3-angle valve job Plenty of other upgrades... but thats where the BIG bucks went. I finally got everything finished and the motor back in the car. So, I drove it for about a month until someone cut me off on the interstate and screwed the passenger side up pretty bad I figured insurance would cover it... but turns out to be over $6000 worth of damages total. Insurance didnt like that so they "totalled" the car. Ive decided to keep the car because afterall, Ive got about $10,000 in new parts and machine work under the hood. I could really use some leads on front and rear passenger doors, and a rear bumber. I think I may be able to find a body man to do the work for cheaper... but, if I could find a whole body in decent condition for under $5000, that would be an option as well. Ive just started searching for parts or more, but Id love some input and/or advice on the situation

Ive been riding a 5'10 hellfire I'm about 5'10 170 above average surfer.. Board seems about perfect for me.. I was looking at adding a 6.0 altinator for bigger more hollow steep surf.. Any1 use the alt as a step up?? Was wondering how awkward the transition between the 2 boards feel and if stepping up 2 inches to make up for the narrowness and less volume should b enuff.. How the alt surf in waist to overhead surf? I'll b spending a lot of time in central America this year and presently I'm living on the u.s east coast.. Was thinkn of a 3 board quiver with a bp the hf and the alt.. I don't want the boards to feel insanely different wen I step up or down. I also wonder if having the bp for anything ankle to knee high if I'll find no use for the hf with the alt? Preciate the help.
No announcement yet.
Alt and hf
new posts
I'd say there isn't going to be a huge difference in ideal wave range between the. 6'0 Alt and 5'10 HF. Both would be capable in fairly solid stuff but the main difference will be in how they feel and ride. The more predictable and dependable shortboard feel could be all you're looking for in those conditions though. I know Chris uses a 6'2 round tail Alt as a step up, especially in Maine so is def consider that one. It'll be a good paddler with plenty of control.

look at a hellrazor or flexy or profilev1 for bigger and more hollow... razor will be the easiest to step onto.... hellfire has a nice bitey rail and you want at least as much of that in bigger hollower stuff.. razor and flexy for that... and profile... the alt (great board btw) is a bit thicker softer edged and puts a fait bit of it in the water which is not the first choice when bigger and suckier... the round tail would be the better choice if you get the alt... that particular hellfire with futures sa3's in it..or equivalent in twin tab, will handle most waves you care to drop into... i've ridden mine in serious scary stuff... rarely bothered with other boards... its only shelved now while i play with the new shapes... but the 510 hf even at 6ft and 90kg is all i need in 1 foot up to ugly stuff.. :)

Another vote for the razor, I have one. I have a hellfire too. The razor is something special; more refined rails, feels and surfs like a shortboard more so than the HF but is still as fast and manoeuvreable (with slight tweaking of fins over the HF). I ride the HF as a quad but I ride my HZ as a thruster, it seems to suit the narrower tail better and loosens it to the same level as the HF. I have ridden it in double overhead it drops in nicely. I find the HF just a bit skatey as a quad and always planned to try it as a thruster next time it was double overhead but then I got the hellrazor. The razor handles bigger and hollower waves better than the HF.
I bought an alt for solid surf and while it goes fine it doesn't have the same magic for me that the hellrazor has.

Trial begins for man in Dona Ana jail killing
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — Trial has begun for the last of three men charged with killing a prisoner found strangled to death at the Dona Ana County Detention Center nearly seven years ago.
Three prisoners who were in the cell with Philip T. Gantz, 32, of Roswell, were charged with killing him. Prosecutors said Gantz was assaulted because he was providing information about that area's drug trade to authorities and was to testify in a pending federal case.
Co-defendants Glynn Dell Cook, 35, and Walter Melgar-Diaz, 28, entered plea agreements and are cooperating with federal [auth] prosecutors.
The trial for the third man charged, Paul O. Smalls, 44, is expected to finish this week, the Las Cruces Sun-News reported (http://bit.ly/uirWkE). The federal charges carry a life sentence.
Smalls' lawyer, J.D. Herrera, tells The Associated Press that his client wasn't involved and maintains his innocence. The other two men could get lesser charges if prosecutors ask a judge to take their cooperation into account.
Cook, of Hobbs, N.M., was being held on possession with intent to distribute more than two pounds of marijuana and more than 400 grams of methamphetamine. Melgar-Diaz, a felon with a conviction in Iowa for burglary and theft, was awaiting deportation after being found near Deming crossing into the United States. Smalls, who had worked as a county detention officer from 2002 to 2003, was being held for raping and severely beating his then-wife.
The U.S. Attorney's Office alleges the three began plotting how to kill Gantz the day after he arrived at the county lockup in December 2004.
According to authorities, Smalls and Cook are alleged to have pinned down Gantz as Melgar-Diaz held a plastic bag over his face. He was found covered with a blanket after missing breakfast Dec. 30, 2004.
The death was thought to be medically related because he was in a medical unit being treated for severe asthma, but an autopsy revealed he had been strangled.
Smalls, Cook and Melgar-Diaz were charged with conspiracy, retaliating against a witness, tampering with a witness and killing a person aiding a federal investigation in 2006. Conviction on the last charge alone could mean life in prison or the death penalty, but prosecutors decided not to seek death.
The Dona Ana County Sheriff's Department turned over the case to the FBI to avoid a conflict after Gantz's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the county. That case is on hold until the federal criminal trial against Small ends, said attorney Jess Lilley of Las Cruces, who is representing Gantz's family.
"We feel the detention center was negligent in ensuring Gantz's safety, considering the status and the nature of his incarceration," Lilley said.
A Gulf War combat veteran with the Navy, Gantz, 32, was arrested in 2003 for trying to ship meth at a UPS store. He was booked into the county jail that August. In May 2004, Gantz warned jail officers that a former inmate at the county jail had put an $80,000 price tag on his head for being an informant.
A single officer was assigned to patrol two separate areas in the jail's medical unit during the overnight shift the night of the killing. The county also reported 35 vacancies at the jail the day of Gantz's death. Jail administrators later instituted a mandatory overtime policy to help deal with the officer shortage.
Herrera said Smalls did not take the same plea deal offered to his co-defendants.
"My client refuses to take a plea because of his insistence that he was not involved," Herrera told the AP. "He had no motive; he was just not involved."

Severe Psoriasis Amplifies Immunoglobulin Nephropathy Risk »
" The risk for immunoglobulin A nephropathy is five times higher in people with severe psoriasis than in those without. And the risk for overall glomerular disease is two times higher.
These findings come from an analysis of data "...
Read the Severe Psoriasis Amplifies Immunoglobulin Nephropathy Risk article »
Vectical Ointment
Effects On Calcium Metabolism
In controlled clinical trails with VECTICAL Ointment, among subjects having laboratory monitoring, hypercalcemia was observed in 24% (18/74) of subjects exposed to active drug and in 16% (13/79) of subjects exposed to vehicle. However, the increases in calcium and albumin-adjusted calcium levels were less than 10% above the upper limit of normal.
If aberrations in parameters of calcium metabolism occur, treatment should be discontinued until these parameters have normalized. The effects of VECTICAL Ointment on calcium metabolism following treatment durations greater than 52 weeks have not been evaluated. Increased absorption may occur with occlusive use.
Ultraviolet Light Exposure
Animal data suggest that the vehicle of VECTICAL Ointment may enhance the ability of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) to induce skin tumors. [see Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility]
Subjects who apply VECTICAL Ointment to exposed skin should avoid excessive exposure of the treated areas to either natural or artificial sunlight, including tanning booths and sun lamps. Physicians may wish to limit or avoid use of phototherapy in patients who use VECTICAL Ointment.
Unevaluated Uses
The safety and effectiveness of VECTICAL Ointment in patients with known or suspected disorders of calcium metabolism have not been evaluated.
The safety and effectiveness of VECTICAL Ointment in patients with erythrodermic, exfoliative, or pustular psoriasis have not been evaluated.
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility
When calcitriol was applied topically to mice for up to 24 months, no significant changes in tumor incidence were observed. Concentrations of calcitriol in ointment base of 0 (vehicle control), 0.3, 0.6 and 1.0 ppm were evaluated.
A two-year carcinogenicity study was conducted in which calcitriol was orally administered to rats at dosages of approximately 0.005, 0.03, and 0.1 mcg/kg/day (0.03, 0.18, and 0.6 mcg/m²/day, respectively). The incidence of benign pheochromocytomas was significantly increased in female rats. No other significant differences in tumor incidence data were observed.
In a study in which albino hairless mice were exposed to both ultra-violet radiation (UVR) and topically applied calcitriol ointment, a reduction in the time required for UVR to induce the formation of skin tumors was observed in all groups that received the ointment base, including the vehicle-treated control group, relative to animals that received no ointment but which were exposed to UVR. The time required for UVR to induce the formation of skin tumors did not differ between animals that received plain vehicle and those that received vehicle that contained calcitriol. Concentrations of calcitriol in ointment base of 0 (vehicle control), 0.3, 0.6 and 1.0 ppm were evaluated. These data suggest that the vehicle of VECTICAL Ointment may enhance the ability of UVR to induce skin tumors.
Calcitriol did not elicit genotoxic effects in the mouse lymphoma TK locus assay.
Studies in which male and female rats received oral doses of calcitriol of up to 0.6 mcg/kg/day (3.6 mcg/m²/day) indicated no impairment of fertility or general reproductive performance.
Based upon the recommended human dose and instructions for use, it is not possible to calculate human dose equivalents for animal exposure in these studies.
Use In Specific Populations
Teratogenic Effects
Pregnancy Category C.
VECTICAL Ointment contains calcitriol which has been shown to be fetotoxic. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies for VECTICAL Ointment in pregnant women. VECTICAL Ointment should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit to the patient justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Teratogenicity studies with calcitriol were performed in which rats were treated orally at dosages up to 0.9 mcg/kg/day (5.4 mcg/m²/day) and in which rabbits received topical application of calcitriol ointment (3 ppm) to 6.4% of the body surface area. No effects on reproductive or fetal parameters were observed in rats. In rabbits, topically applied calcitriol induced a significantly elevated mean postimplantation loss and an increased incidence of minor skeletal abnormalities due to retarded ossification of the pubic bones. A slightly increased incidence of skeletal variation (extra 13TH rib, reduced ossification of epiphyses) was also observed. These effects may have been secondary to maternal toxicity. Based on the recommended human dose and instructions for use, it is not possible to calculate human dose equivalents for animal exposures in these studies.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether calcitriol is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when VECTICAL Ointment is administered to a nursing woman.
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
Geriatric Use
Clinical studies of VECTICAL Ointment did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Top 10 VPS Providers for Web Developers
Web developers need somewhere to host their projects, and when looking for hosting, there are several options.
Shared hosting, where you share a server with lots of other users and have very limited control over the server. Dedicated hosting, where you have complete control over a server; a very flexible option, but requires you to manage the whole server, worry about hardware failures and backups, and is typically expensive.
A third option that is in between these two choices is a Virtual Private Server, or VPS.
VPSs not only bridge the gap between shared and dedicated hosting, their virtualized nature provides other advantages such as instant reinstallation of the operating system, quick recovery and backup, and fast and simple hardware upgrades (the hardware is virtual, after all).
Still not sure what a VPS is? Read this guide on VPS hosting.
In this article, we cover 10 of the most popular VPS providers, giving details such as where their datacentres are located and what their prices start.
Another UK VPS provider is VPS.NET with a price point that starts at $20 for a VPS with 376MB RAM and 10GB of storage. They have UK and US datacentres, and their cloud storage allows automatic failover and scaling.
2. Prgmr
Prgmr is a VPS provider that doesn't "assume you are stupid," implying that their services are geared towards developers that know what they are doing (or have the desire to learn on their own). Their 64MB instances start at $5 a month, and a 256MB instance will only set you back $8. Debian, Ubuntu or CentOS are the only officially supported OSs, but they'll let you install your own, if you want. They even let you build your own kernel, which isn't something you can do with most of the other VPS providers.
3. Linode
Linode is a popular VPS provider, and they've recently added a UK-based datacentre so users now have the option of a US or European-situated server.
The cheapest plan starts at just under $20 a month and includes 360MB of RAM and 16GB storage. There are no setup fees, no contracts, and a slew of 32 and 64-bit Linux operating systems are offered.
4. Slicehost
Built for developers, Slicehost has no contract period or setup fees. "Slices" start from $20 with 256MB of RAM and 10GB of storage. You can upgrade or downgrade your hardware at any point with minimal downtime. They currently only offer US datacentres.
5. RIMU Hosting
A truly global VPS provider with datacentres in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand is RIMU Hosting. Prices start at around $20, and you can opt for billing in the local currency of the datacentre you chose.
If you're an open source developer, RIMU Hosting will discount your subscription as a way of giving back to the community. They also offer a discount of 10% if you require multiple servers.
6. Bytemark
Bytemark is a UK-based VPS provider with datacentres in London. Prices start at £15 (around $22, American) for 256MB and 10GB of storage.
Bytemark boast some impressive features that come as standard, such as redundant disks for fault tolerance, free server monitoring and IPv6 connectivity.
7. XLS hosting
A cloud VPS provider, XLS hosting is based in the Netherlands. They have an extremely good value with their entry level VPS offering that starts at about $15 a month for 128MB RAM and 10GB storage.
8. Gandi
Self-described as "hosting for geeks", Gandi gives you great bang for your buck, and even offers a free trial. Prices start at $13 for 256MB RAM and 8GB storage. Hardware upgrades are automatic, and they provide emergency support services.
9. Clustered.net
The UK-located hosting provider, Clustered.net, offers high-end VPS servers starting at 1GB RAM for around $34. Their VPSs come with multiple static IP addresses. If you have several VPSs with them, they will give you redundant load balancing at no extra cost. Full backups are performed daily and stored for 30 days, you get a choice between 32 and 64-bit operating systems.
10. SuperBytes
SuperBytes is a Canadian company with datacentres in Canada, the US and the UK. 64MB VPS instances start at $6 a month.
Do you use any of these VPS providers? What's your current web hosting set-up like?

Great article! IMO slicehost & Linode looks more reputation than others and VPS.net's website looks hot!
Neil Apr 20 2010
Another great VPS is Tagadab.com (part of the Clara group). I use their 2nd tier option (VPS500) which gives me 1000GB monthly bandwidth, 512MB memory, 20GB storage with various Linux distros or Windows. (I've opted for CentOS 5.3). Lightning quick and only £19.99 / month.
Cook Apr 20 2010
very nice article…useful information
Jacob Gube Apr 20 2010
Thanks for sharing folks, keep your suggestions coming.
I've personally worked on Slicehost and VPS.NET. Both great options. I've seriously looked at Linode and Prgmr too and might use 'em for some of my pet dev projects.

Good list but not every client, and every product is a Linux one. I often have the need for Windows VPS hosting.

I've been using Wiredtree for a year now and it's amazing. It's one of the most reputable in the industry too.
Their support is so good that it becomes ridiculous. Everytime I have a question or a problem (usually due to my own stupidity) the ticket gets treated within 10 minutes (usually even faster).
While they are a little more expensive than the ones listed here, if you need to support clients, these guys make it worth the extra cost.
James Apr 20 2010
Really there are very few companies that don't offer VPS.
Dejan Apr 20 2010
Jacob could you recommend a good company for reseller hosting?
Matthew Hall Apr 20 2010

I've been using BigVPS http://www.bigvps.com for ~3 years now. Had some downtime May 2009 because of things mostly beyond their control. Signed up with FsckVPS because of it, which was sold to VAServ a few days later, and just a few days after that had its own major outage, and my VPS host was the ONLY machine in the datacenter unaffected (lucky me, and inexplicably, too).
Stayed with both, haven't had any problems since.

Winni Apr 21 2010
I'm @ Host Europe
They are cheap, reliable and faaaaaaast !!!
Abu Qutaita Apr 21 2010
I'm surprised ChunkHost didn't make this list: http://www.chunkhost.com/
They're currently in beta, and with that, they're offering free 512MB/20GB/200GB (ram/disk/bw) chunks. And if you decide to keep that chunk when the service goes live (i.e. for-pay), the price is a fraction (about 50% iirc) of the normal rate for the lifetime of the chunk.
Jacob Gube Apr 21 2010
@Chris McCorkle: It represents a web developer standing in front of server stacks.
@Dejan: If you get a big enough plan, most VPS providers allow you to host multiple sites and sell those yourself. I haven't actually done VPS reselling (back in the day, I did it with shared hosting for my clients. Not the best idea. I should have just stuck to design and development.) Hopefully some of the people here can share their experience with VPS reselling.
Keep suggesting guys. We may write a follow up to this with your suggestions.

I've been used Rimuhosting service. Currently I have my main demo server (where I host my web apps for field testing and showcase for clients) in a VPS with CentOS. It is a modified MiroVPS3 VPS (1 GB RAM, 12 GB disk). When I started using their service (almost 5 years ago) there were not that many VPS providers in the market, and the main reason I choose them was that they answered my questions within minutes (another provider answered my email 5 days later, go figure). Other two reasons were they accepted Paypal (at that time the other providers wanted a credit-card) and because they offered a discount for open-source developers (something I think it is very nice).
Last year I started looking for alternatives, just because I wanted to know if I was paying too much for my VPS or not. I found Rimuhosting is not the cheapest VPS around (it's not the most expensive either). However, after doing the math and realizing I would only save 5 or 10 dollars a month by changing providers, I decided to stay with Rimuhosting. The few times I have contacted their support staff, they have always been very helpful and very quick to answer. I would not sacrifice that for a few dollars.
Just note: Rimuhosting VPS are unmanaged, meaning you need to do the maintenance yourself, including OS updates. Rimuhosting has a wiki with good advice on how to do the initial configuration of your VPS. (You can pay their support staff to do it for you, but hey, what fun would that be?).

I found and started using Ossim Hosting, at http://host.oss.im/ for VPS hosting. They have some features that I can't find on too many other hosts (1) plenty of ipv4 space/ allocation available (2) allow irc (3) extremely fast disk i/o (4) stable as no other (5) superior ddos mitigation for web and irc, its sick.

Shameless self-promotion, but you can use my website http://www.webieu.com for price comparison of VPS plans. It does not have user reviews yet, but still can give you a shortlist of providers based on your requirement.
Steve Jul 11 2011
I use http://www.effectivevps.com and they are great. I am usually quite cynical when a hosting company says that they are there for you ( been bitten to many times ) but these guys truely care about what they do. If your new to Linux you might struggle because their service is for Developers and Admins but it would be a great place to try out and learn. They also have the ability to clone your VPS – useful for load balanced sites.
The also smoke the competition in terms of performance too…even Linode
Jeff Aug 25 2011
You should check out htttp://semoweb.com.
I obtained my vps from them. Its got 100gb space, 1.5 Tb bandwidth and 4 gb ram all for ~$9 / month. It is unmanaged, so you are responsible for your own apps installs and setup.

Nic Windley Mar 02 2013
I would certainly not put vps.net at number 1, maybe not even on the list. I'm a current customer with some issues that I am escalating with them.
Initially things were great; however their servers / services are far too unstable to be considered something that you would want your business relying upon.
They responded quickly to issues, however its like putting a sticking plaster over a wound that needs stitching, it soon bursts open again and the problems resurface.
Not only that, when I presented them with my problems and gave them an opportunity to resolve them, they thought that it made more sense to lose an existing customer that paid them regularly because they would not offer a reasonable credit given the problems I was experiencing.
They made excuses about DDOS attacks and how they were going to fix them, yet according to this article;
They were supposed to have been resolved two years ago?
This not only shows a lack of congruency between their promises and service delivery but an unbelievable degree of ineptitude in business and customer service.
Marketing to them is merely a veneer, and they forgot that they actually needed to follow through on their promises.
They make money at the disservice of customers, not by servicing them. What the hell is going on in the world of business?
I as are others, not the only people with issues and concerns about this company;
I've had to escalate this now to the directors of the holding group UK2Group, however I'm not holding my breath for a satisfactorily outcome.
It's a pity as it could be a great product / service offering, however the reality is that it's too unreliable and they must resolve this and fast. It may be too late for me.


text: Q&A with Phins Phocus Posted by Ricky Keeler on Dec 14, 2013 01:12 ShareTweet With the Pats and Phins set to do battle on Sunday with the AFC East crown on the line, our staff writer Ricky Keeler sat down for a Q&A session with Michael Serrania from Bloguin's Miami Dolphin's blog, Phins Phocus. 1. How have the Dolphins been able to stay in the playoff hunt despite all of the controversy on and off the field with the Richie Incognito-Jonathan Martin situation? It's amazing to me that after late October, the Dolphins have managed to play balls out since news of this controversy first broke. With wins on the road versus the Jets and Steelers, I never would have thought that the Dolphins could play this well late into the season where collapses have been evident in year's before. However, the Dolphins 0-line play has improved and the team is showing better chemistry and playing at a high level with 100 plus-yard rush games, control of the clock and possession, and a dominant passing attack. It's amazing what facing and overcoming adversity can do to a team and the players, not the coaches are winning these games. 2. How do you grade Ryan Tannehill's season thus far? Has his last two games in the cold weather showed you he can win big games in January should Miami get there? Ryan Tannehill has put himself where he needs to be in his second season. He's on the verge of surpassing 4,000 yards as well as already throwing 20 touchdowns. However, last season, Tannehill played exceptional football and played the same exact level of football or better in recent weeks. Tannehill has had multiple touchdown games and has shown he can play in cold games outside of South Florida. His willingness to sense pressure and take off if there are no passing options down field have given the Dolphins life offensively and have extended drives because of his ability to run. The running game in addition has helped Tannehill thrive in clutch situations. The Dolphins have seemingly been in every game at the end of a game and have shown they can win in the closing seconds. If the Dolphins do make the playoffs, Dolphin fans should have high expectations of their quarterback playing in the cold. 3. We know about Cameron Wake, but who else should the Patriots keep an eye on on this Dolphins' defensive unit? That would be OV Vernon coming off the edge as someone to watch for. Vernon has 10.5 sacks and has been a disruptive force in pursuit of quarterbacks and making a TFL. The biggest thing about Vernon is he is hard to block one on one. He gets past his man either one on one or even un-blocked. Many of those sacks have come in blitzing situations, but he deserves a shot at a Pro Bowl. He was quite raw coming out of the University of Miami and the former Cane has thrived in Kevin Coyle's 4-3 defense. In addition, don't underestimate the size of Brent Grimes. Grimes has come up huge in sealing wins for the Dolphins. His four interceptions and interception for a touchdown have been the reason that the Dolphins secondary has had success this year. Grimes' ability to take away the ball has proved to be infectious as Nolan Carroll and Jimmy Wilson have been able to influence the outcomes of games as well. 4. How much confidence do the Dolphins take into this game knowing they blew a 17-3 lead in the last meeting at Foxboro back in October? Revenge mindset for them? The Dolphins confidence is at an all time high and this home game is just what the doctor ordered. If the Dolphins get another start and jump ahead early, the Dolphins have learned from past mistakes, had a short memory and are forcing teams beat them which hasn't always been the case in Miami and this late in the season. The Dolphins have beaten playoff contenders such as the Chargers, Jets, and now Steelers. Who's next? The Patriots are coming in hobbling, the Dolphins know it, and it's time for the team to feast on their prey. We'll see about Sunday, but the Dolphins could have their biggest win because they seem to want it more. 5. We know Mike Wallace has been a disappointment this season, but who has stepped up to help Tannehill in the passing game? Charles Clay and he has been amazing. No player on offense has been a bigger reason for winning football than Charles Clay. Clay does so many things such as breaking tackles, blocking, and catching touchdowns in the red zone. Clay's signature play was his 34 yard touchdown after breaking 5 tackles versus the San Diego Chargers. I expect the Dolphins to find Charles Clay early and often and for Tannehill to have a big day because of it. 6. X-Factor in this game? The X-factor in this game has to be the weather. It's still warm in Miami and the Dolphins always wear white on game days to force the opponent to sweat wearing a darker color. Darker jerseys get soaking wet because of the warm humid air and the Patriots with their dark navy jerseys could be in for one if the Dolphins control the clock. It's all about the weather in Miami and if it's warm and hot for New England, they could get gassed early. 7. Who wins and why? Bonus: Do the Dolphins make the playoffs when all is set and done? The Dolphins win a close game, but it could get closer in the 4th quarter because of Tom Brady. I'll say 28-24 for now in favor of the Dolphins. The Dolphins with this win will make the playoffs and they are on a roll to exceeding all expectations with 10 possible wins.

What do to with dingy unfinished basement-Getting ready to sell house...
Well...I've been searching all morning online for info regarding this problem I have...I'm hoping by posting here I'll get the help I've been looking for! :)
:no:So here's the story... I bought this say 30 yr old home about 4 years ago. The basement is unfinished, dingy, musty smelling. With stains on concrete walls, efferesence (?spelling), small but long visible cracks etc..etc... :eek:Yes, I am aware of the moisture problem...We get water in the spring, I do have a sump pump set up....and we plan on redoing our draintile system around the house soon.....:(
NOW!All that being said....We are thinking of selling our house...:thumbsup:and I thought that I'd like to paint the basement to make it look/smell better and cleaner! WHAT ALL DO I NEED TO KNOW/ SHOULD I DO IN RESPECT TO PAINTING THIS AREA? :huh:CALLING FOR ALL SUGGESTIONS PLEASE! Thanks a bunch!:thumbup:
I would wash the walls with bleach, then paint them Zinsser BIN shellac, then top coat with a latex paint.
BIN covers up everything, normally in one coat as long as it is applied well. It also seals in almost any kind of odor.
The surface must be dry to use bin.
Any work you do between now and spring is just going to get messed up when the water comes back
If you want to paint the walls, clean them well and use a masonry approved primer, then paint with latex
For the floor, same thing but no primer, just two coats latex porch & floor paint
(in this damp basement, do not even think of using an oil based floor paint)
I'd just leave it the heck alone if you can't afford to fix the water problem. The risk that the moisture will return before you can sell is too great. If that happens, your blistering, failing, paint will look even worse than what you have now.
You will want to find out where the water is coming from. Sometimes some gutters and/or a little landscaping change can solve the water problem and landscaping changes can add value to your home.

I'm totally inspired by a super-creative (and potentially money saving!) move from a real wedding of a couple named Danielle and Stephen. They had a gorgeous rustic wedding in a friend's backyard in Southern New Jersey (where they grew up together and fell in love—how cute is that?!). For the table settings, they skipped rental plates and disposables, and instead, went on a hunt at thrift stores for mismatched dinnerware!
There are a billion reasons why this is such a fun idea, but you lovelies will have to settle for three really good ones:
Kinda seems like this would be a neat wedding décor treasure hunt for brides who want a little adventure, don't you think?
So how about you ladies? Would you ever try mix-n-match plates at your wedding? Have any other cool ideas about how to make this DIY touch really shine?

Now here is some "earned media" for Cisco. In the context of full disclosure, let me first say that Cisco invited me to its Partner Velocity conference in Barcelona last week, full expenses paid. I stopped by for two nights and one day while traveling home to Stuttgart after a client workshop and meetings in Paris. But this is earned, not paid, media because I was truly excited by what I saw and heard. I'd like to share it with all of you tech marketers; whether you are at Cisco, or a competitor, or a partner-player in one or more of the ecosystems in our industry, you need to sit up and take notice of this event. To close my first point — a trip to Barcelona may sound attractive, enough to merit a "reward" for any organization that took me there. But I actually turn down more than 60% of my briefing and event invitations: I have to produce work as well (and who wants to go to Las Vegas eight times a year). And I certainly do not promise anybody that I will write any type of reports in return.
This was Cisco's third Partner Velocity conference, and I'd heard great things about it from its partners, so I was eager to see what would happen. This is a conference for partners worldwide (first held in the US, last year's was in Paris) and here's the reason I was excited: Its focus was purely on MARKETING. Nobody presented about Cisco products, the sessions had titles such as:

Wichita City Council Seeks to Reduce False Alarms
New ordinance would make alarm users responsible for registering with the city instead of security companies.
By SSI Staff · July 17, 2014
WICHITA, Kan. — The city council here is considering amending it alarm ordinance to make sure first responders only go to real emergencies.
Wichita police and fire crews respond to more than 18,000 false alarms annually, or almost 50 a day, KAKE.com reports.
To combat false alarms, the new ordinance would make alarm users responsible for registering their alarms with the city, a task that security companies typically perform. By implementing this change, city officials believe they will have more details on individual situations.
Additionally, if a home or business has more than seven or more false alarms in a 12-month period, police and fire service would be suspended.
The current schedule of fines for false alarms would remain intact.

The doctor of grooveParis Pompor
Published: October 5 2012 - 3:00AM
'As a kid, I'd look at an album cover and say: 'Wow, if I could just play on one record …'''
At 64, unconventional multi-instrumentalist and in-demand percussionist Bill Summers recalls a childhood dream with shared amazement. He's since played on hundreds of records.
From Sonny Rollins and Quincy Jones to Sting, Summers's discography reads like a who's who of jazz, funk and pop. Alongside famous names are seminal, game-changing LPs such as 1973's psychedelic future-jazz debut by Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters, still one of the highest-selling jazz-fusion recordings in history.
For the New Orleans-based Summers, even sweeter is a subsequent LP by the same band, but minus life-long collaborator Hancock. ''It's one of the most sampled hip-hop beats in history,'' Summers says of the album's opening tune, God Make Me Funky. ''That was bread and butter, and still is.''
Still more significant was hooking up early on with Bobby Womack. While playing one night at the famed Apollo with Womack, all of Summers's many saxophones and flutes were stolen. ''It made me realise that God wanted me to be a percussionist,'' he says.
Though many fruitfully enduring partnerships followed, Summers doesn't rate lists of records, accolades or money as his greatest achievements: ''When I put it all together … playing sacred music has been more rewarding.''
As an initiated drummer in the Yoruba discipline - a complex tradition originating in west Africa - Summers sees drumming as spiritual.
''I often say, we're not musicians, we're physicians … What we do, if we're performing at that highest level we can, is heal people.
''It's not magic, it's mathematics and science,'' Summers adds, attributing the complicated bata rhythms he has memorised to also influence nature's elements.
For his first Australian headline tour in 30 years, Summers has hand-selected four top players to fly over with him, also inviting local James Morrison to join him at Sydney's Basement.
''He's probably one of the most fantastic musicians on planet Earth,'' Summers says of Morrison.
How did they connect?
''He probably won't remember that meeting,'' Summers chuckles. ''We met in heaven, before he was assigned the job of being a musician and being born in Australia.''
Their earthly meeting took place four years ago.
''[Morrison's] style and range are off the chain! This man can play everything from a sousaphone to a kazoo.''
And that's from a guy who hits and shakes anything from congas and ganzas to beer bottles in the studio.
BILL SUMMERS with JAMES MORRISON
Sunday, October 7, 9.30pm, The Basement, Circular Quay.
TICKETS thebasement.com.au, 9251 2797, $49.
TRAVEL Buses and trains to Circular Quay, Wilson Parking in Alfred Street.

Tor is celebrated by civil liberty and privacy groups for offering anonymity to whistleblowers and dissidents. But the service has also drawn criticism for being used not just for distributing child pornography, but also for onion sites such as Silk Road, which facilitates the buying and selling of narcotics.
Just how much of the Tor network facilitates illegal activities? Last month, three University of Luxembourg researchers who conducted a study of Tor hidden services reported that "while the content of Tor hidden services is rather varied, the most popular hidden services are related to botnets." Their report, titled "Content And Popularity Analysis Of Tor Hidden Services," is based on their use of a documented flaw -- now patched -- in Tor, which allowed them to count 39,824 unique onion addresses in February 2013.
Reviewing what appeared to be the 20 most popular Tor addresses, the researchers found that 11 -- including all of the top five sites -- were botnet command-and-control servers, while five provided adult content. Also on the top 20 list was Silk Road, which placed 18th, well ahead of Freedom Hosting (27th). Interestingly, the researchers even discovered a phishing site disguised as the Silk Road.
On balance, however, the researchers found a balance between licit and illicit sites. "The number of hidden services with illegal content or devoted to illegal activities and the number of other hidden services -- devoted to human rights, freedom of speech, anonymity, security, etc. -- is almost the same; among Tor hidden services one can even find a chess server," the researchers wrote.
As that suggests, many tools can be freely used by people with good or bad intentions. Former NSA and CIA director Michael Hayden said as much Sunday, when he delivered a talk on "the tension between security and liberty" that touched on the intelligence community's imperative to eavesdrop on some Gmail communications, The Washington Post reported.
"Gmail is the preferred Internet service provider of terrorists worldwide," said Hayden, who instead of "Internet service provider" most likely meant "email service."
Then again, the alleged use of Gmail by terrorists shouldn't come as a surprise. "I don't think you're going to see that in a Google commercial, but it's free, it's ubiquitous, so of course it is" used that way, Hayden said.
Of course, Tor and Gmail are far from the only free tools to be used for illicit purposes. In July, notably, security researchers reported that Chinese groups have been using Dropbox to distribute malware for online espionage operations.

City leaders encouraging citizens to sign up for Emergency Alert System
EL PASO, Texas - El Paso's first responders are hoping to get in better touch with you. First, they need you to sign up for the city's Emergency Alert System.
The EAS is also known as El Paso Citizen Alert. It has become a hot topic with city leaders following the complete closure of Interstate 10 when an electrical pole went down.
The system is run by local first responders and has been active for five years. It has already been upgraded once, according to County Emergency Management Coordinator Scott Calderwood.
Now, people can sign up online to receive alerts via text and e-mail.
City council and first responders plan to re-visit the policy for when the emergency system is used. Right now, if a natural disaster were to occur, the system can call land lines to inform people.
"I think that it would function better if we can get more individuals registered. Which is one of the things my office was doing yesterday, reaching out to the community, letting people know how they can register and provide them that link to get the information," City Representative Cortney Niland said.
It only takes a few moments to sign up for the EAS online. It asks for information such as telephone number, e-mail address and home address for community-specific alerts.
According to county officials, the system currently sends out alerts for life-threatening situations, evacuations and emergency lockdowns.

2011 wrx build :)
just thought id post up the new build thats gonna happen. im gonna do what i did last time with all my parts but going a few new route's starting with this little guy...
its a one piece JDM version 8 spec C manifold, no TGV's, and should be a first on an 11. this isnt my pic and mines pretty dirty so im gonna have grimmspeed port it out and i'll wrinkle black paint it. my TXS FMIC came with piping for the STI and WRX manifolds so install should be pretty easy. im still going to do parallel fuel lines again but this time im gonna cut my fuel rail ends to make nipples and flare them out so i can get a better flow design out of them because im also going to be adding a aeromotive FPR which will need mounted some where off the manifold like the firewall.
im also not sticking with my ewg UP. not that much room and if you can tell i want stuff no one else has. dont get me wrong, im definently sticking with a ewg but its gonna go on this guy...
ATP GT3076R or GTX3076R. now this is made for a 44mm ewg but im gonna have an adaptor made so i can run my 38mm and keep the price down. plus some people think small turbos should have large EWG's and large turbos should have small. i dont know if i believe it but it should be interesting to see this setup.
i might end up doing how to's for all of this and i know people might ask or say a lot is going to be involved which i havnt stated. i know this and not everything is going to be cut and dry but should be fun to find out.
my tuner is now on a brand new Mustang dyno and there still installing the old Dynojet because they moved shops. i think everything will be done on the Mustang because he likes it more. im not brave enough to do a stock dyno on the shitty stock tune so im either going to do a stage 1 or 2 E-tune from Torque Performance as a bench mark, then come back for a pro tune with everything below but the GT30. so basically ill have everything to max out the stock VF52 but an EWG, prove that little bugger can hit well over 300 on any dyno, then finish her up with the GT30.

Might I ask why the parallel fuel rail mod? Looks like a good build over all, just not to sure on the whole big turbo little wastegate and vice versa. I'd have to see some hard proof to believe that.
rails- im not comfortable with a 4 foot long fuel rail. any pressure drop and good bye #4 or #3. i still havent decided which one is at more risk. #4 because its so far away from the FPR or #3 being so far away from the FP. either way they blow up a lot for some reason and about 350hp its just a good idea.
ya i have no proof either. makes kinda sense when you shift gears and you lose a little or a lot when the wastegate dumps xxx amount of your air. i dont know. i did talk to a engineer at Tial and he told me theres a million factors for which EWG to match to which turbo. i told him i really dont care about getting every little HP and he said they just went with the 44mm because its so versatile. plus selling my 38mm for like $200 something then having to throw down almost $400 is silly.

The bigger the turbo the smaller the wastegate is generally needed... Think about the purpose of the wastegate and it makes sense.
It's primary function is to regulate boost pressure. So if you have more air flowing through a system you'd need a bigger hole to regulate the larger amount of air...Unless I am over looking something, but I suppose it makes sense.
as far as the fuel rails, I don't see the need for it, then again I am running almost an entire stock fuel system other than injectors and a pump...Man I most be doing something wrong.
not doing anything wrong. i need lines anyway because of the custom mani, might as well hook them up in a parallel manor when im in there.
they're good at their propaganda but here
[url=http://www.perrinperformance.com/products/show/292]Perrin Performance - Fuel Rail Top Feed[/url]
Guess that makes sense then. I haven't really seen any proof that it makes a difference before, but I suppose if it works more power to ya.
well im trying to gain proof. these motor blow all the time. we can blame the tune, the fuel system, or something else.
Why the new mani, especially for someone like you who cares a lot about weight loss? Doesn't it add weight and have absolutely no performance gain over stock? Don't get me wrong I think its hella cool and have looked into doing it my self, but everybody I talk to says its a waste of time and money for no gain what so ever.
im not big on weight (just removed stuff that wasnt needed and liked that the car lost 200-300lbs) as i am on power and i do hate going composite to aluminium. however with only reading GS info about their phenolic spacers and threads where people say "i couldnt touch it before and now its cool to the touch" im taking a shot that they will help keep it cooler.
as for no power gains thats a total lie. think about it, im stock which means i have TGV's, and now i dont. thats a gain right there or no one would ever PnP them. GS TGV's are $200 plus KStech block offs at $65 and i just spent $400 but the mani came with everything. i can sell TB, rails and STI pinks not to mention my stock TGV's to GS for $100. in the end im making money ;)
i also dont like the bulkiness of the stock TGV's. when i go to put in my 3" inlet and go to a 3" turbo inlet i want all the room i can get. these runners are a lot thinner and should give me plenty of room along with the 8mm spacers that are coming. all in all in the end i think its a pretty good gain.
UPDATE, manifold, car and disappointments
so the manifold came and to my pissed off eyes all 4 pink injectors are broke. no idea how you can smash an injector on its head, dent it, bend it and crack the casing!! each fuel rail only had 1 bolt holding it down so someone messed with it. however the injectors had never been out of the rails in all of its years so...???
but i broke it all down and had my friends dad sand blast it. i got it home, cleaned it up, prepped it and blasted it with VHT black wrinkle paint that can handle 350 degrees. this stuff turned out great!! looks just like the OEM red and easy as hell to use since your trying to have a messy paint job and im in love.
the 2011 wrx is a disappointment because i told them i wanted my car with 6-10 miles like when they get to the dealer. they did not get the dealer swap done before they were unloaded off the boat from Japan so mine went to the original dealer 4 hours away. i doubt they even tried for it and could even get it but before that i said cancel it, i dont want some old dude or no-body putting 400 miles on my car driving it here.
so my dealer tells me they have another one coming in my color. however im pissed because its $1600 more with the SPT CBE, wing on the trunk and a bunch of other crap i dont want! for now this one is mine unless i get something else from someone else in the mean time.
Man I am having the reverse of your bad luck. My motor build is going faster than I had planned. Hope things work out for you.
p.s. I looked over those logs briefly the other day. I will look over them a bit better tomorrow since I got the day off...
speaking of reverse,
i am going reversed manifold. already made the piping from the TXS FMIC kit that comes with STI and WRX piping. i just used the STI piping and cut it up. im really not losing any length since the WRX going counter clockwise is already the best design but i have to because the layout of the STI is just horrible and retarded and i cant fit my oil catch can.
1 Attachment(s)
IMO, if you go reversed IM, go rotated. There is hardly any benefit to a stock turbo location and a reversed IM besides saying I have one.
I feel the perfect setup for reversed IM would be a vertically oriented FMIC (long core with tanks on top and bottom, sort of like the stock STI TMIC). Have the bottom tank inlet on the left side, and the top side tank will have a center exit.
problem with rotated on these cars is room. the ABS and stuff is in the way. going reversed manifold literally took zero effort. for some it may take a lot more because they might not have a FMIC kit like i did or have the right parts etc.
