Dragon dictate for mac lots of questions
I am disabled and got dragon dictate to help me. I want to write screenplays and I am getting used to dragon dictate still (I have had it 3 days). It seems to be very slow sometimes. I have 50 GB of space, so, I don't think I have too much on the computer to bog it down.
I am looking for a list of helpful apple scripts that I can use to make my life easier. Has anyone use dragon dictate? I am having a horrible time surfing the net. It is clunky and freezes up all the time. Not sure if that is me talking to fast or some other issue.
Is there anyway to have all the commands that are in dictate for apple mail transferred to yahoo mail? I have had it for 15 years and don't want to switch. I only have 1 email, ever.
Can anyone explain the different types of command codes and when they are used. What is a text macro, or automatic, or a list of applescript commands i can move in. what helpful ones have been created? I have snow leopard 10.6.3. what is a menu item (in terms of the dragon dictate)? What is shell script or automator workflow?
Yes, I am old and don't understand computers very well. Any help u can offer me would be greatly appreciated. This software has so much potential to help make my life easier, but, I just don't understand it. I am not dumb, just not computer savvy. But. am willing to put the time in to learn. The disability I have is physical, not mental.
thanx again for reading this and any help u can offer me.

Hi Dan,
A macro, automator workflow and applescript are all variations on a theme (commands). Macro is the general purpose word. Automator workflows are used with the Automator program in the Apps folder. Applescript is another language. 2 animals, different species. It is rare for me to use Automator and Applescript.
Two of my favorite macro programs are another species: Keyboard Maestro and iKey. I've used iKey in the past. I currently use Keyboard Maestro version 4.
What is your current Mac ? How old is it ?
50 gb is plenty of space.
What is your current internet situation ? Do you have DSL, cable, modem dialup ?
Sometimes internet is slow due to advertising. We can fix that.
I suspect we will call in some online forum for assistance or go directly to Dragon Dictate or some portion of Apple Support. It turns out that 20 years ago I worked next door to a department that is right in your alley. So, assistance is not too far away.
Thank u for getting back to me. Do u have any useful programs that would be good for me? I don't understand computers very well. put it to u this way, my training in computers was the programming languages basic and cobalt. Those were the 2 hot ones back then. Yeah, I am old.
The mac is about 3 years old. It was 10.5.6. But, in order to run dragon dictate, I had to purchase snow leopard. Now, it is 10.6.3. I have the standard DSL. I think that is what it is called. I have it thru the phone company. I think I can download about 100 kbs/sec. Is that enough info for u? If not, then I can try to find out more.
Anything that u can do to help me make this better is fine by me. I try to learn about my computer, best I can anyways. It is hard b/c most of my friends are old and in the same boat.
I keep my computer up to date, as far as uploads and stuff. The dragon dictate works decent when in dictation mode, but, I am having a very hard time doing anything else. I can't surf the net at all. I can open safari, but, that is about it. I will accept any help that u can offer me.

it would be helpful to know more about the exact model and memory size of your computer. From the top left corner 'Apple' menu there should be an About this Mac selection that tells you details about the computer.
Tell us the processor and memory info.
100k DSL is OK, but certainly not considered 'fast'.
Hi there,
Is this the info u wanted? I pressed the apple icon and about this mac. Here is what it said:
processor 2GHz intel core 2 duo
memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
It is a macbook. Let me know if u need anything else to help me. Thank u for your time too. I really hope that I can get the dragon dictate working. Oh, one more thing, I am from buffalo, NY USA. for some reason, a person thought I was from Canada, I am close, but, not quite.
Hi Dan,
Tetrachloride here from 2nd account.
Your DSL is adequate. Mine is somewhat faster.
MacBook is adequate for internet of course. Some adblocking methods will help a great deal there. More on that in about 18 hours. ( i am on a stay at home vacation )
I am guessing that you ( and me for sure ) are new to Dragon Dictation. So, we need a beginners guide and an experienced user to speak to.
I have had dragon dictate for 3 days now. I actually read 2 help guides. One, a friend found for me online and sent it to me as a Pdf. The other, is in a spot u don't think to look.
there is a 200 page book (ok, 194 i think) in the dictate help section. They put the manual there. Most of it is pretty basic. I hooked it up pretty fast and trained it. However, there are some words it has issues with.
homonyms are a huge problem. For ex, It can't tell the difference between miles and (friend) Miles. Ben and been. Break and brake. shocking is wand and wind. don't ask me why. even did the voice training, it must be me.
You really have to speak clearly. I know I have a fan going and the fan makes it pick up words (him him him him etc) and causes havoc at times.
I can't get the net surfing to work for me at all. so, yeah, I'd be glad to help u with what I have learned and perhaps we can help each other. Do we exchange emails on this site? don't want to break any rules.
I am glad I have enough memory. I never really download a lot from the internet, save a few songs, and whether I spend 60 or 20 sec, not that big a deal to me. is there a way to check how much current memory u have left? Like i said, I don't really understand my computer. I probably utilize less then 10% of it.
Tho, being disabled helps, I can only sit on it for short periods of time. can't learn a lot when u have trouble sitting up. So, any help that u can offer would be awesome.
Oh, if u are wondering what I plan to do with DD, I am gonna start writing again. I brought it to write screenplays with it. I have already set it up with celtx. this really annoyed me, I called for help, and they said it couldn't be done, but, I did it with keystroke commands and it works like a charm now. I understand how to write my own commands with keystrokes and a bit with files and stuff, but, like none of the safari commands seem to work, save open and close.
oh, mousegrid is wonderful for moving the mouse around. As is "move mouse" up down, left, right. Or say "move mouse" (direction) X inches. ex would be "move mouse down 3 inches. don't bother trying to find mousegrid in the list of available commands, it isn't there. I read it on a review site. gotta love that….
Dragon Dictate really needs a clean voice input. The less background noise, the better. That means you want a high quality microphone, preferably one that has noise cancelation or noise rejection.
_Some_ high quality headsets include a microphone with noise cancelation. Some USB connected headsets incorporate noise cancelation, some do not.
One example of high quality microphone with inherent noise cancelation is a product called The Boom. There are several versions, but I think even the basic model has very good noise rejection.
One simple test is to record your voice with your current microphone, then play it back at high volume. If you can hear background noises in the recording, then that noise will also affect Dragon's accuracy and speed.
With a good noise canceling microphone, almost all sounds _other than_ your voice are rejected and your voice alone is heard by the computer.
I wish you luck and perseverance. It can take a lot of effort and trial to get this sort of thing working exactly the way you want it.
Dan , how is it going ?
I never got your message, sorry about that. I am doing okay. I am figuring out dragon dictate. It is odd, but the shortcuts don't work on my computer like they should. The company is looking into it. For ex, the keystroke command for create a new tab is a menu item. It won't work on my computer for some reason. But, when I created my own version of creating a new tab with keystroke commands (new tab for me is command N) it worked fine. I have no clue why it is that way, but, it is.
Do u know if there are any applescripts that can help me out? should I guy a book? I know nothing about them. Last programming I took was for basic and Pascale. Yes, I am that old. How complicated is it? I saw a book applescript for dumies. Is it worth buying? It is like $7 on ebay. Any help that anyone can offer me would be great.
Let me know if there is anything u need to ask me for dragon dictate? I am running a lot of it. some things I never do. It is kinda schizo sometimes tho. It doesn't always do what it is supposed to do and sometimes, it will pick out words that I just stare and say where the heck did u come up with that??
talk to u later

MEET with the "ADULTS 1st & go over your "criteria".
1. ??? what is the Qualification/Certs of Instructors, RSOs etc. ( NRA,BSA,Hunter ED, etc)
2. Do they have experience in working with age group in this type of situation??
3. Not only get permission from the parents about their youth participating & BE SURE to go over the RULES OF CONTACT (touching the student)
4. Be sure to make it clear with the range & clarify "issues' ( like other shooters etc.
5.Be sure that any non participating individuals ( parent, friends etc) are placed in a position, that they can not distract the students)
6. BE SURE ALL "instructors" know "THE RULES OF CONTACT & FOLLOW THEM!!!
Although, the above sounds "intimidating" if you "pre plan" then the experience on the range, for ALL will be GREAT. I know,BEEN doing it for YEARS & I LOVE IT.

Yeah, I picked up this issue this week, and it is a good article. I doubt that a significant percentage of civilians who carry (or LEO's for that matter) have everything planned out like is recommended in this article. Paying attorney retainers prior to any incident and having $5-10K in disposible cash laying around is probably beyond a significant portion of the population, particularly in the current economic situation. Certainly something to talk through with family etc. though.
However, as with many aspects in life, retaining a lawyer or sequestering thousands of dollars to do so is a matter of risk, critical path, and probabilities. As I'm sure you know, there are a plethora of companies and people out there who are offering to the every-day person various forms of "insurance" against all sorts of potentially nasty eventualities. If we all paid premiums / membership fees, etc. for all of the various "insurance" options, most of us would not have sufficient cash flow for food and other necessities.
Everyone should prepare, but not everyone will be able to pay preemptive retainer fees or wave large amounts of cash to lure a specialized defense attorney etc. as was suggested to avoid a worst case scenario. If someone can, great.... probably a good idea. But, having a spider, even a sympathetic and friendly one, tell the flies that they need pay for insurance against being caught in a web, and be prepared to "hock" every item of value they have to bribe a good spider to help them in a reasonable period of time bears careful consideration on the possibilities and the nature of spiders.
A lot of insurance plans we have cheap access to will pay for your defense in a noncriminal situation. If you win they pay if you lose they don't pay because you were criminally negligent.
BTW, I know of no attorney who does not charge his/her mother. Nice attorneys are the ones who give their mom's a professional discount of 3%.

CROW WING COUNTY BOARD: Proposal aimed at addressing substance abuse, binge drinking
The Crow Wing County Board Tuesday authorized a letter of support to an organization proposed to address alcohol and binge drinking among youths.
The "strategic planning framework state incentive grant application" is submitted by Northern Pines Mental Health Center and Youth Wellness Initiative to the Minnesota Department of Human Services, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division.
The proposed submission "intends and proposes to develop processes and plans to address Minnesota's three substance abuse prevention priorities: past 30-day alcohol use among sixth through 12th graders, recent binge drinking among ninth through 12th graders, and recent binge drinking among 18-25 year olds."
The board asked for a report from the initiative.
Board members also briefly discussed progress on a detox center with Commissioner Rachel Reabe Nystrom saying she's heard of a wider trend of reduced detox center use that mirrors the reduced number of jail inmates.
Nystrom said she'd like to hear how the transport system is working to take people to detox outside of the county.
The county's detox facility closed earlier this year. The county has been working with Northern Pines Mental Health on an alternate plan but two possible sites in Baxter for the detox center were determined to be inappropriate.
Commissioner Rosemary Franzen said the county spent $166,000 with its former vendor between January and May and spent $31,000 on detox in the last four months.
Commissioner Paul Thiede said the intensity of getting a decision has waned and they can look more carefully at the issue.
In other business, the board:
Adopted a resolution establishing Commercial Park Drive as a Town Road in the First Assessment District. Commercial Park Drive starts at Barbeau Road and runs northeast to Northwest Commercial Park.
Approved a proclamation of Nov. 16 as Geographic Information System Day in the county during Geography Awareness Week Nov. 13-19.
Approved a resolution authorizing the Central Minnesota Housing Partnership to submit an application for administrative authority to Minnesota Housing Finance Agency for participation in the Home Rental Rehabilitation Program for the county. In effect it allows CMHP to administer the state funds for the county as it has in the past. The rehabilitation loans between the property owner and the state is essentially a mortgage.
Since 1999, $2.3 million in funds was used in Crow Wing County on 182 home rental units utilized rehabilitation funds.
Heard an overview of the 2012 budget. The board will certify its levy in December. The county's truth in taxation meeting is planned 6 p.m. Dec. 13. An insert with truth and taxation numbers will be going out to residents about Thanksgiving.

Discussion in 'Wheels & Tires' started by dabadas, Nov 14, 2009.
what is the biggest size tires can you put on stock 2004 2500hd siverado
Size Matters
I just asked my pal here the same question, he pointed me toward 4wheelparts.com, you can narrow it down by truck, then next to the tire size is the tire size calculator, it tells you what size you can put on for what amount of lift. It also tells you optimum gear ratio's to modify too. This site can give you a good Idea, but I would still triple check before buying online. If you have time I recommend going to a tire store that you would never buy from, act friendly and ask if you can compare the tire to the current one. It may be a little rude but they only want your money anyways.
You can easily know the size of the tires if you contact authorised dealor...he will guide you in the right and proper way so that you don't face any problem in future..so it better to contact them...
265/75/16 no cranking t bars
285/75/16 a couple turns
i have an 06 silverado 1500 and i run 325-60-18 with bars cranked just a few turns have no rubbing issues at all even at lock to lock, everyone i had talked to said there was no way they would fit but have had them on there for over a year now and had no issues, no trimming required either
i was able to put 285/75/16s on my 04 1500 with no modifications at all.so for your truck you should be able to do at least that if not bigger
I have an 05' 2500HD and I have often wondered the same thing, what I am going to do is have them mount one 285/75/R16 and see if it rubs in the front or not. It looks close to me, but then again looks can be decieving.

I have as of September 1, 2010 approxamately 235 resumes out and I am all over the internet job sites, and all of this is on my own with no help from career services at all, well thay do send me job postings from the internet in an email. I don't think that is job placement assitance.

The way it was explained to me by an admissions representative was career services would get you an interview but it was up to you on how well you presented yourself to get the job. Well I have only had ONE interview(and I got that one myself) sense August 1. Seriously, where is the assisiance at, why was I allowed to graduate without a job or any help getting a job.

The news that cafe and bakery chain Pie Face is involved in a major legal battle with its franchisees reinforces lessons that should be taken to heart by anyone intending to start their own venture through a franchise. Starting any business requires hard work, perseverance and an awareness of risks as well as the business opportunities.
In recent years professionals with big redundancy payouts have been among those taking up a franchise. For some, it is a successful shift to a new stage of their working lives. But the precursor is careful choice of the many and varied franchises on offer and detailed due diligence that includes upfront and ongoing fees and any guarantees.
Disputes are common in this business model. A Griffith University survey found that 17 per cent of franchisors had been involved in a substantial dispute with a franchisee at some point in the previous 12 months.
Apart from the possible Pie Face legal action, in September 10 former Bank of Queensland owner-managers sued the bank, and in July the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission warned of a spate of complaints regarding minimum levels of income promised to new franchisees. For their part, franchisors also have to work to avoid the fate of Allan Billy Hyde, a music equipment franchise chain which went into administration in August.
However these events play out, they are a reminder that like any business venture, those who go into franchising need to be aware of the risks, as well as possible rewards.

Amid growing indications that the traditional image of red blood cells (RBCs) falls short of reality, chemists are reporting evidence that RBCs are key participants in a communication system among cells in the bloodstream.
Messaging between RBCs and platelets (blood components that cause clotting) they say, could explain the effects of a drug suggested for use in preventing heart attacks and other complications of diabetes.
In a study scheduled for the July 13 issue of ACS' Analytical Chemistry, a semi-monthly journal, Dana Spence and colleagues note that RBCs once were regarded mainly as oxygen carriers. Recent research, however, shows that red cells also release ATP, a molecule that is the source of energy for all life processes, as they deform while they travel through small blood vessels.
By observing blood flow through artificial blood vessels in laboratory experiments, Spence's group now has established that the ATP signals blood platelets to produce nitric oxide (NO). That messenger molecule has a variety of functions, including dilating blood vessels. When released from platelets, NO helps regulate platelets' activity, preventing excessive clotting. Disruption of the RBC-platelet communications system may play a role in diabetic complications such as heart disease and strokes, the researchers said.
The new study also found that Trental, reported to have beneficial effects in preventing certain diabetic complications, may work by boosting ATP release from red blood cells.

Can Mozilla's Firefox Become a Dominant Force Again?

Can't see Firefox changing the tide either.
It just seems its going that downward spiral of past great applications once they meet their match and stop becoming the cool option everyone wants.
To me, the decison to move to Chrome was a no brainer. I didn't care about browsing speed (as if that mattered). Just the fact I don't trust any collaborative open source project that moves into a rapid release cycle. My own experience as a programmer tells me it complicates project management:
- Quickly become a mess and hard to manage
- Consistently delay the introduction of important new features
- Makes it harder the process of major bugs fixing
The difficult in managing large projects with people from all over the world is already self-evident without thinking on making it a rapid release cycle. Because large or complex features and bug resolution may invariably seep into the final release not properly tested, it tends to bring beta testing to end users. And quite frankly, a browser is merely a tool to me. I have no desire in becoming a guinea pig to their desire to emulate Chrome's (with a much smaller dev team and thus easier to manage) release cycles.
Chrome also proved to be less bloated. So that came as a bonus, albeit Firefox bloatness never really bothered me much.
On a final note, Firefox decision pretty much alienated its corporate user base (no matter what some may say, like a somewhat recent article on Ars Technica). That alone killed, and will keep killing some unknown percentage of its users.
Unless Firefox completely changes its face, I think this browser will just keep seeing its user base slowly decline, and decline, and decline.

**Editor's Note: Please click here for a recap of the biggest channel-impacting mergers in Q4 2013.**
The Mitel-Aastra merger is set to close on Friday.
The business IP phone and UC companies on Monday provided a market update, noting that the $374 million deal is moving along. As long as remaining closing conditions are met, Mitel and Aastra "expect to close the transaction on or about Jan. 31," they said in a press release.
Mitel and Aastra shareholders have approved the plan that Mitel buy all of Aastra's outstanding common shares for $6.52 in cash plus 3.6 Mitel common shares per each Aastra common share.
Rich McBee will remain CEO of the combined Mitel Networks, and recently said he predicts no channel conflict to arise from the combination of the two rivals. That's because the top 20 Aastra and Mitel channel partners do not overlap, he said – to wit, Aastra's market strength lies in Europe.
"The channel differences are pretty stark," McBee told No Jitter in November, adding that the Mitel and Aastra channels are "very compatible."
With little, if any, concern over channel conflict on its radar, Mitel is focused on growth. While both Mitel and Aastra are based in Canada, Aastra holds more market share in Europe, particularly the western portion. Both companies specialize in premises and cloud unified communications, and Aastra makes one of the three Microsoft Lync-certified phone sets. Observers say Mitel's challenge will be to increase revenue, and use the PrairieFrye and Aastra transactions to strengthen its Lync strategy.
The combined company will keep its headquarters in Ottawa and operate under the Mitel name. Aastra's co-CEO, Francis Shen, will become chief strategy officer and co-CEO Tony Shen will serve as COO. Aastra shareholders will own about 43 percent of the merged entity.
Mitel said it's creating a billion-dollar company with No. 1 market share in Western Europe and a $100 million cloud business.

Tamar Goes to China – SES Strategies 2007
Later this week we will be attending the second Search Engine
Strategies Conference to be held in China, this year the event is in
One of the most exciting reasons for going is getting a chance to talk at close hand with the engineers behind www.baidu.com, China's biggest and most successful search engine as well as www.google.com. We are hoping to get a chance to find out what the future developments are likely to be.
Even though www.baidu.com is not as well known over in the UK there is a lot that can be learned from work being done to develop their engine.
We are also really keen to understand the Chinese market. With a
huge rate of growth and many UK and US companies locating businesses in
China understanding consumer and business behaviour could be key for
successful online platforms.
Hopefully I will get a chance to pin down Matt Cutts colleague
Jianfei Zhu who is a part of the Google Webspam Team, he is now based
in China, Japan and Korea – but spam is spam! Always interesting to
hear their thinking particularly in light of recent events with many so
sites being penalised or relegated.
We also want to hook up with Dr Lu who runs www.blogdriver.com as well as Chinese Search Engine www.booso.com. What can we learn from their Search Engine and Blog activity?
Getting feedback and information from a slightly different angle is always hugely interesting and useful.
So expect lots of stories and photos as our trip develops and if
any of you have any questions you want answered email or speak to any
of the Tamar Search Team. We usually manage to hog the microphones at
the events or corner unsuspecting engineers in late night bars!
P.S. For those of you who are worried that my Mandarin is not as good as it should be the event is a bilingual one!

It is no secret that the Ford Flex is a popular vehicle around the Autotropolis water cooler with it being named our Truck of the Year last year. For 2010, the boxy full-size crossover gets even better thanks to some noteworthy powertrain and technology upgrades. Last year, I had the chance to check out the all-new twin-turbocharged EcoBoost in the horsepower-robbing thin atmosphere of Boulder, Colo., but now I get the chance to check out the practicality and the enjoyment of everyday driving in the EcoBoost-powered 2010 Flex for a week.
Competing directly against other crossovers such as the Chevrolet Traverse and Honda Pilot as well as bigger SUVs like the Chevrolet Tahoe and Toyota Sequoia, the 2010 Ford Flex is available in three trim levels (SE, SEL and Limited). Although the 2010 Flex has a base MSRP of $28,550, only the upper two trim levels are able to be equipped with the EcoBoost engine which starts at $36,195. This particular model was a Flex Limited which comes practically fully loaded with very few option choices and a starting price of $42,065. After a week behind the wheel of the new Ford Flex Limited with EcoBoost, it's easy to see that there are no limits to this big crossover with its spacious, luxurious cabin and powerful new engine.
2010 Ford Flex with EcoBoost Exterior
These days it seems that automakers try to boast performance models with a sticker or badge on just about every body panel, but it is hard to tell the Duratec Flex apart from the EcoBoost Flex aside from the small 'EcoBoost' liftgate badge and the dual exhaust outlets. There are a couple new colors added for 2010 to accent the Flex's hard-edged lines, but the most attractive paint option on the Flex is the availability of a two-tone roof in either silver or white (depending on the body color). Our test model came in Ford's elegant Tuxedo Black which is a unique Black Metallic color with purple, gold, blue and green flakes embedded in the paint. After a fresh wash the paint sparkles magnificently in the sunlight. The Flex Limited stands apart from other Flex models with the silver decklid trim and the standard LED taillights. As the only exterior options on this Flex, the two-tone roof and 10-spoke, 20-inch painted aluminum wheels finished off the Flex's attractive styling.
2010 Ford Flex with EcoBoost Interior
Even to a lesser extent than the exterior, changes to the interior of the 2010 Flex are minimal. To the trained eye, the only giveaways on the EcoBoost-powered models are shift paddles mounted on the steering wheel and the L on the shift indicator replaced with an M for manual mode. One feature that is an option not equipped on the test vehicle is the Active Park Assist system that can automatically parallel park the Flex with only shifting and brake pedal inputs from the driver.
As for the styling, the Flex Limited model is easily distinguishable from the lesser trim levels by the wood grain on the steering wheel and the door panels. Aside from the added faux wood trim, the Flex still offers a spacious and attractive cabin that seats up to eight passengers. The top-of-the-line model comes standard with perforated leather seats, touch-screen navigation and Ford's SYNC system, but it's the passenger space inside that is the most impressive. Headroom and legroom should be sufficient for just about any passengers in the front seats and middle row seats, and even the third-row seat provided plenty of headroom and just enough legroom for me (and I'm 6'1') with a headrest that is tall enough to actually be useful.
With the rear two rows and the passenger front seat all folded flat, the Ford Flex allows for an impressive amount of interior cargo volume with a maximum of 83.2 cubic feet and just over 40 inches in width between the wheel wells. Of course with all of the seats in place, the Flex offers a deep storage well behind the third-row that can hold up to 20 cubic feet.
2010 Ford Flex with EcoBoost Performance & Handling
New for 2010, the Ford Flex added the highly anticipated 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 as an upgradeable option for the Duratec V-6. While these two engines both feature a 3.5-liter displacement, the direct injection and twin turbochargers improve engine output to 355 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque (an increase of 93 hp and 102 lb-ft compared to the Duratec engine). With the radio off, you can even catch a faint whistle of the turbos under heavy acceleration. One of the key selling points of the new EcoBoost engine is that it delivers power similar to a V-8 with the fuel economy of a V-6, and the Flex's EcoBoost doesn't disappoint with EPA fuel economy estimates of 16 miles per gallon in the city and 22 mpg on the highway - which is an exact match with the all-wheel drive, Duratec V-6-powered Flex. All 2010 Flex EcoBoost models come standard with all-wheel drive and a six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission that has the added convenience of a full manual shift mode and a downhill assist mode.
Between the turbocharged engine and the manual shifting abilities of the transmission, the Ford Flex with EcoBoost actually feels pretty sporty considering its 4,839-pound curb weight. Ford chose to launch the Flex with EcoBoost in Colorado last summer as a testament to the engine's strength. Normally, the thin air at that elevation causes a drop in horsepower which means that performance and towing abilities are negatively affected. This wasn't the case with the EcoBoost engine which felt more than capable of towing a loaded trailer up mountain inclines. In Florida's flatter roads and sea level atmosphere, the Flex with EcoBoost felt just as good, and I would have no problem taking testing out the Flex's 4,500 pound towing capacity.
Another benefit of the EcoBoost engine is the use of Ford's Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS) system which helps make the Flex easier to steer and allows it to add some new technology as well. While the park assist system is for convenience, the standard Pull-Drift Compensation system makes driving the tall, boxy Flex in windy conditions a breeze. After driving the boxy Flex over a tall bridge on a windy day, the Pull-Drift Compensation kept the vehicle from swerving all over the road, and all of this goes on unnoticed by the driver.
2010 Ford Flex with EcoBoost Safety
Like the Ford Taurus with which it shares its underpinnings, the 2010 Ford Flex received stellar safety rating from both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The NHTSA gave the 2010 Flex five-star ratings for front- and side-impact protection, but like most crossovers only a four-star rating for rollover avoidance. As for the IIHS, it gave the Flex a full complement of Good ratings for front-, side- and rear-impact protection, but hasn't tested it yet for roof strength. In addition to the aforementioned Pull-Drift Compensation, standard safety features on the 2010 Ford Flex with EcoBoost include Ford's MyKey system, six airbags, four-wheel anti-lock brake system, AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, tire pressure monitoring system and SOS post crash alert system.
More than just an engine swap, Ford completely changed the driving dynamics and cargo-hauling abilities for the 2010 Ford Flex with EcoBoost making the boxy crossover even more fun to drive. Packed with plenty of attitude and luxury, the Ford Flex is already a stylish alternative to minivans or conventional SUVs, but with the added performance of the EcoBoost V-6 engine, it is a downright sleeper. On top of all this, the Flex Limited provides an abundance of luxury and cabin technology to add yet another dimension to this full-size crossover.

Thanks. First time I've seen it. It's a saved document now.

A great article but unlike the herd of sheep, the vast majority of people have trouble knowing which are the wolves and which are the sheepdogs. Sometimes those who we think are the sheepdogs are actually the wolves and too many who straddle that line become policemen. There are definitely those who think that it can't happen to them and want to ban both the wolves and the sheepdogs, unfortunately the wolves will never be banned. And then there are the sheepdogs who think that they are the only one and all others are either sheep or wolves.
It has become an article much read .. often I think labelled a parable.
It and other such, along with various RKBA articles can be found on one of my sites - so anyone wanting to locate some of these feel free to check it out. Just hover on the ''articles'' menu link and it should drop down with a choice of many.

Excellent article and it should be read by more people.
As far as I am concerned, on a personal level, I don't know if I would be a sheepdog. I do carry, I do practice regularly and I have long ago made the conscious decision to never be a victim nor allow any of my family to be victims. My problem comes in with the idea of being there for everyone else. I'm not a cop. I would not want a cops job, nor could I do a cops job. (Understand, two of my close friends are full time cops, I have a fair understanding of what they do and put up with.) I would have great trepidation, entering into a violent confrontation that did not affect me directly. As so well noted by previous posts, not knowing all the particulars about any violent encounter may wind you up in jail and or being the bad guy if you mis-read the situation. I suppose that each situation must be judged separately and on it's own particular conditions. Deadly force is forever and if I make a mistake so is the punishment (payment). Emotions can be high and so are the stakes.

Preparation and surface treatment > Technical wipes > Pre-saturated wipes
Pre-saturated wipes with solvent or cleaners are :
- A move for the environment: the quantity of products in each wipe has been optimised to use all the liquid to clean instead of evaporating widely as this is the case with over saturated rags. As a result Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) decrease as required by European regulations.
- Better for users' safety : less handling of full containers of flammable products so that reduces fire risk and product contaminations
- A source de productivity : standardisation of surface preparation operations and less repetitive gestures

Reports: NSA Can Crack Much Internet Encryption
The U.S. government's chief electronic eavesdropper can pry into many encrypted communications even if they don't get the cooperation from major Internet companies such as Google or AT&T, according to the latest leaked documents from former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
After years of code-breaking advances, the NSA now can crack most types of Internet encryption as it leverages a team of elite hackers and its influence on corporate and international encryption standards, according to simultaneous reports based on Snowden documents in the New York Times, the Guardian and ProPublica.
It has long been known the government can crack certain types of encryption, but it was never clear how much. The latest Snowden documents suggest the NSA has access to much of the Internet communication thought to be shielded from prying eyes.

Looking over some recently leaked guides pertaining to the handset in question, it details the date of May 6th as being the day when we can expect it to launch. In fact, it looks like big box retailer Best Buy will be the one to partake in this new handset, though, one vital component about it is still missing as of right now. So what's that you ask? Well, it's none other than pricing, but it's expected to be very easy on the pockets either way.
As for specs, the Huawei Prism features a 3.5" HVGA (320 x 480) display, 600MHz single-core processor, 2GB of internal storage, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and a microSD card slot. Also, the leaked documents tell us that the handset will be available in two various grey color schemes, and another model painted in red.
Aside from Best Buy, retail giant Walmart is also expected to launch the handset afterwards on May 9th – while T-Mobile's retail channels will start receiving inventory on May 23rd.

New season is not going swimmingly
Where there's gloom, then it's old friend doom is never far behind, and the new all-singing, all-dancing JJB Sports Premiership is yet to go to the ball, never mind kick one.
It's just a pity that the referees didn't look at the long range weather forecast before going on strike last week and as the water rises there is that horrible sinking feeling surrounding our local game.
With Slemish in danger of becoming an island and the local B&Q reporting a roaring trade in Ark building materials, it was no surprise that Ballymena United's clash with Lisburn Distillery bit the dust.
All the talk from local wags was of Michael Phelps and Rebecca Adlington, but even they would have turned up their noses at this, a day when you wouldn't have put a milk bottle out.
It means the curtain-raiser for the season is now the County Antrim Shield on Tuesday night – weather/referees/plagues of locusts – permitting, not exactly what the IFA had dreamt off.
Once again the men in the middle found themselves the centre of attention and this time it was referee Paddy McFadden who was more than happy to get back into action.
An initial inspection at 2.00pm passed the Showgrounds pitch playable, the players braved the elements for their warm-up but as the rain continued to lash it was clear by the second that there would be no whistle to signal the start of the season.
Just past ten to three and the Londonderry official made the decision we all expected and while there was frustration all round, it was the right one.
Paul Kirk, scheduled to watch the match from the stand after making a splash of a different kind when the two sides faced each other last season and all hell broke loose, was philosophical after another controversial day by the Braid.
"I don't blame the referee — as I said to him on the sidelines, make a decision to play the game and allow the players to prepare mentally for a game as they're entitled to do," he stressed.
"If by that time the pitch is not playable because of health and safety and you have to call it off, then no-one will fault you for it.
"The players' safety is the main thing and I think the referee made the right decision.
"I feel for the fans but my main concern has to be my team, preparing my team and getting them mentally ready for the game.
"There are other knock-on aspects and I understand that, but I think the right decision was made.
"The league seems to be doomed before it even starts but we have to stay positive; we have to stay focused.
"Last week could have been avoided, this week couldn't."
As for opposite number, Roy Walker, he will hope for third time lucky when he makes another attempt to begin his life back in management against Ballyclare Comrades in the Shield.
Given the weather forecast there could already be grave doubts surrounding that clash and with the Sky Blues' reserves in Steel & Sons Cup action it gives him an early headache.
"At this stage we'll take any fixture to get started — if the rain stops," joked Walker.

As Google+ continues to grow, reason prevailed over insanity: they relented on their silly pseudonym policy. Sort of. Read the official announcement and rationale from Google's Bradley Horowitz, then read Identity Woman's reaction:
- Toward a more inclusive naming policy for Google+
"Today we're pleased to be launching features that will address and remedy the majority of these issues. To be clear - our work here isn't done, but I'm really pleased to be shipping a milestone on our journey."
Identity Woman: The new Google+ Names process
- eduserv: OpenAthens Healthcare Federation
"The OpenAthens Healthcare Federation (OAHF) provides identity and service providers in the global healthcare sector with a framework to support information exchange."
- European Commission: Commission proposes a comprehensive reform of the data protection rules
"he European Commission has today proposed a comprehensive reform of the EU's 1995 data protection rules to strengthen online privacy rights and boost Europe's digital economy. Technological progress and globalisation have profoundly changed the way our data is collected, accessed and used. In addition, the 27 EU Member States have implemented the 1995 rules differently, resulting in divergences in enforcement. A single law will do away with the current fragmentation and costly administrative burdens, leading to savings for businesses of around €2.3 billion a year. The initiative will help reinforce consumer confidence in online services, providing a much needed boost to growth, jobs and innovation in Europe."
- Feide RnD: Identity Federations Status Report – January 2012
"GÉANT Identity Federations currently have a lot of ongoing activities. Here is a summary of what we are working on, and the current status."
- Report: W3C Social Business Jam
"The W3C held the W3C Social Business Jam from November 8-10, 2011, the W3C's first purely "online" event, in order to explore possible space for standardization to enable the social web for business use-cases."
- SafeNet: Gartner Magic Quadrant for User Authentication Part 1: What it Means
"This week, Gartner released the 2011 Magic Quadrant for User Authentication. To figure out what all the hubbub is about and why it's so important, I sat down with Tsion Gonen, SafeNet's Chief Strategy Officer. In Part 1, he explains what the Magic Quadrant is and why making the Leaders quadrant is so special. In Part 2 (coming later this week), we talk about the authentication market and how SafeNet fits into – or shapes – the landscape."
- John Battelle: FACEBOOK COALITION TO GOOGLE: DON'T BE EVIL, FOCUS ON THE USER
"Last week I spent an afternoon down at Facebook, as I mentioned here. While at Facebook I met with Blake Ross, Direct of Product (and well known in web circles as one of the creators of Firefox). Talk naturally turned to the implications of Google's controversial integration of Google+ into its search results – a move that must both terrify (OMG, Google is gunning for us!) as well as delight (Holy cow, Google is breaking its core promise to its users!)."
- Tim Cole: Stopping a Clapper Over WikiLeaks
"I found it particularly poignant to read the name of the official in charge of U.S. government efforts to create the Totally Secure System: Jim Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, the mention of whom bring irresistibly to mind the old nautical expression about "clapping a stopper" over something, meaning to block something effectively. "Clapper" is actually the word for a safety valve – and as any engineer will tell you, the function of a valve is to let something out before the pressure reaches dangerous levels and pieces of stuff start flying around."
- Gunnar Peterson on Understanding Cloud Security Standards, part 3
"Moving applications to the Cloud puts many enterprises in an accustomed position, the technology and processes that their business depends on aren't under their sole control, but rather a mix of responsibilities. The move to the Cloud is not a simple "forklift" migration where bits are copied to a Cloud Provider, instead the architecture and assumptions must be reviewed and refreshed to meet the needs and constraints of Cloud systems."
- Symantec: 2011 State of the Cloud Survey - Global
"To better understand how organizations are dealing with these changes, Symantec commissioned the 2011 State of Cloud Survey, which gives a unique perspective on how organizations are adopting cloud computing . One of the largest surveys of its kind, it includes responses from 5,300 organizations across 38 countries"
- Peter Van Auwera: Pirates in the Sandbox!
"A couple of months ago, Venessa Miemis pointed me to the website of SandBox, a movement/network of young entrepreneurs < 30 years old. I am almost double that age, and was very pleased and humbled when the organizers accepted me as one of their elderly guest at their first Sandbox Global Summit."
- Who Do You Trust More with Your Data: Facebook or a Bank?
"Facebook, Google (GOOG), and other companies collect and use such data to make billions of dollars on targeted advertising. Now SWIFT (the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication), the nonprofit global cooperative that handles wire transfers between financial institutions, is working on a system that would let Web surfers store and manage their own data, much like money in a bank account, and selectively lend it to companies that provide a benefit in return. It will allow people to "take back control of their digital assets," says Peter Vander Auwera, a member of the nine-person team, dubbed the Innotribe, that's working on the project."
- Nat Sakimura: Scopes and Claims in OpenID Connect
"In OpenID Connect, there are notions of "scopes" and "claims". Some people see some overlap there and wonders why they are like that. Here is my attempt to explain the relationship between the two."
- OpenID Connect Test Servers
"Here are some experimental OpenID Connect server configurations:"
- Pat Patterson, SFDC: Social Single Sign-On – Authentication Providers in Spring '12
"Given my background in single sign-on, the Spring '12 feature I'm most excited about is the ability to use external 'authentication providers' to give access to Salesforce portals and orgs.
