Interview with Mitchell Ashley, StillSecure
Our interview today is with Mitchell Ashley, CTO of StillSecure, a Colorado-based company which is developing network security software. We caught up with Mitchell to hear about the company and get an update on its products.
Techrockies: Tell us a little bit about what StillSecure does?
Mitchell Ashley: StillSecure is a network security product company, serving medium and large enterprise organizations—we're a software company. We provide products to commercial and the financial services, health insurance, the educational marketplace, and high tech. A good deal of our business is with the federal government, both defense oriented as well as civilian. We've been in business since 2000, and have three products on the market, and all of them follow a layered security strategy. With security, you typically apply a layered approach, because no one point in the network is the vulnerable point. There are many ways you can suffer a security breach. So we offer a network access control solutions, called Safe Access. Safe Access will quarantine any device coming on your network, determine if it meets your security requirements, and allows it onto the network, or brings that device up to date.
Techrockies: Where do you fit into the security market—it's a pretty crowded space, with lots of products—so give us an idea of where your products are used?
MA: There are really three verticals we fit into. One is network access control, vulnerability management, and intrusion prevention. The way to think about it is, we can provide a proactive defense capability: before an attack occurs, how can your make sure your network is secure; we can offer reactive defense; when an incident occurs, someone tries to break into your network, we can prevent that from occurring; and also providing a compliance element to this, because so much of security now is not just about doing security, but reporting and providing information to auditors, regulators, about the security that an organization has applied.
Techrockies: How did you get into this market?
MA: The background is, we actually entered this market as a network service provider and quickly changed over to network security, because we had implemented some tools for ourselves, the customers were asking to buy. Relatively early in our company's life, we discontinued offering services and have been focused ever since on the security problem. That's one of the reason's why our products are unique is we not only offer products that can act stand-alone, but they can work with each other. But also, because we take more of a user centric approach. Security is different today that it was five years ago. Today, you have a variety of skill sets thats performing the security job function. It may be a Windows admin, it may be a network administrator, it may be a security person, it may be someone without any security background. So, you have to design and build a product for a wide range of users, not just the expert users. Plus, when you get into the enterprise organization, you have to build a very scalable product, that can not only handle one organization's needs, but a multi-organization company. That has to roll up into reporting for compliance, etcetera.
Techrockies: Tell us about your venture funding?
MA: Our venture backing and primary investor is Mobius Venture Capital, and they have been an investor from the beginning of the company. They actually a repeat investor, as Mobius has worked with our CEO and several of its companies. We really have a longstanding relationship with our primary investor. We also have an investment from 3i, which is an international investment company based out of London, and we have a local Denver investor, Meritage Venture Capital, which is an investment that came out of an acquisition, an acquisition which we did two and a half, three years ago.
Techrockies: How far along are you in your product lifecycle?
MA: We've had market in market for four years. StrataGuard was our first product. It was one of the first prevention systems in the market. Most of the state of the art products at that time only detected intrusions. StrataGuard would actually block attackers from the network. That's product has done very well, and we actually offer a free version of that product for individuals and organizations that can use an IPS in a network that is under 5 Megabits in speed, supported through online forums. They can upgrade to our commercial version if they choose to. That's part of our helping the corporate environment as well as individual users. Then, we introduced VAM to the market. That's been to market for about three years. VAM helps very large customers, including some local companies like Nuclear Fuels, University of Colorado Hospital, and some partners locally who resell and are references for customers like Systest Labs, and Coalfire systems. Our third product area is Safe Access, which has been on the market for two years. This is another access control solution which can work with any NAC environment, including Microsoft and Cisco's network access solutions. You can use them with those products our outside of those environments. If you have an existing network using DHCP and VLANs, Safe Access can examine any device coming onto those networks and determine if they are up to date on antivirus, if they have firewalls, if they have required or restricted software, such as peer to peer software. All the way down to what browser you are running and security settings.
Techrockies: Does that require an agent to run?
MA: Actually, no, we don't. We offer both an agentless and agent version. Any device connecting into the network we can connect into without an agent, and interrogate the device, and determine if it meets your policy.
Techrockies: It seems like this is very different from other products in the market...
MA: NAC is the hot market, and many people are addressing it with their existing products and relabeling it as NAC, but if you really dig down and understand your requirements are, it's not just situations where you can install an agent, but where you can't, where this is valuable—such as visitors, contractors, etc. That's one of the key differentiators of Safe Access from other solutions in the market.
Techrockies: What's the next step for the company?
MA: We're continuing to enjoy and add new customers to our customer base. We're continuing to advance the state of the art in the market with our products, in each of our product categories. So, really we see the security market is going in two directions. There will always be best-of-breed solutions, which we will offer products that are award-winning products in several categories. But if you talk to organizations implementing security, one of the key requirements they are asking for is leveraging information from each of these individual tools, and not just from a reporting standpoint, but to make the organization more secure. For example, we offer capabilities for our vulnerability management product and network access control products to work together. Now you're not only quarantining and evaluating endpoint devices when they connect to the network, if it's a corporate device you're able to do a fuller vulnerability assessment on the device. The data between those systems is now shared, and you get a more complete picture of the device. The other thing we see as the state of art advances, more security technology is being embedded in the network. Why that is important, security is a dynamic process. Those capabilities rely on core technologies within our products.
Techrockies: Thanks for the interview!

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Oregon Attorney General Hardy Myers has joined 19 other state Attorneys General in sending comments to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) urging the Commission to take a hard look at the role alcohol marketing plays in promoting underage consumption. The comments were sent in response to the FTC's request for input into whether it should collect information from alcohol advertisers and what information should be collected regarding their sales and marketing expenditures, compliance with the alcohol industry's self-imposed regulatory codes and the status of complaint procedures about industry advertising.
The 20 Attorneys General are all members of the National Association of Attorneys General Youth Access to Alcohol Committee. This bipartisan Committee was formed in July of 2004 and has 26 members. Attorney General Steve Rowe of Maine and Attorney General Mark Shurtleff of Utah chair the Committee. The Committee studies youth exposure to alcohol advertising and access to alcohol, educates state Attorneys General on ways to reduce access and change social norms about underage drinking, and partners with national and state entities to augment and enhance on-going efforts to stop underage drinking. The Committee has been examining the alcohol industry's marketing practices and the effectiveness of the industry's self-monitoring programs.
"Alcoholism is a widespread disease in the U.S., and the fact that people are starting to drink at an earlier age and more aggressively confirms the need to strictly monitor the alcohol marketing industry and its contributions, if any, to this crisis," Myers said. "Research proves that children who begin drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcoholism than those who begin drinking at 21. The addiction and brain damage caused by alcohol is contributing to the loss of human potential in so many of our children. I find the increase of alcohol abuse among young people extremely troubling and urge the FTC to adapt its review of industry marketing practices to reflect today's culture."
The Attorneys General agreed that it is in the public interest for the FTC to collect updated data from alcohol advertisers, including data on expenditures, marketing practices and independent review procedures. They encourage the FTC to request information on actual alcohol marketing expenditures, including on expenditures for both measured (including television, radio, print, web-based and outdoor) and unmeasured (branded merchandise, sports and entertainment sponsorships, point-of-purchase promotion, movie and television product placement, college marketing and bar promotion) marketing activities. Unmeasured advertising reaches audiences for which no demographic information is available. The Attorneys General urged the FTC to learn what steps the industry has taken to ensure compliance with industry standards in relation to these expenditures.
The alcohol industry currently operates under a series of voluntary standards, all of which require that advertising be placed only when 70 percent or more of the audience is 21 or older. The percent of television viewers, radio listeners and magazine readers is determined by ratings agencies who sell demographic data to advertisers. The comments call on the FTC to not only review industry compliance with the current advertising standards but to examine whether the current standards are adequate to protect against the overexposure of underage youth to alcohol advertisements. Overexposure occurs when youth are over-represented in the audience exposed to the advertising, relative to their presence in the general population.
Finally, the comments call on the FTC to further review the sufficiency and efficacy of alcohol advertisers' pre-placement review and third party complaint review procedures.

Sony's entry-level Blu-ray system offers good performance for your buck, as well lots of upgradability – including 3D playback
At $599, the BDV-E370 is Sony's cheapest new Blu-ray home cinema system. This has caught the attention of our wallet, and our inner geek likes the look of the spec sheet too – 3D playback, Wi-Fi networking, all sorts of multimedia playback, 850W of power and wireless rear speakers.Basically, it looks like a mid-range system in a bargain model's clothing. So what's the catch? Extra, extraActually, the catch is pretty simple: you don't get all of the features mentioned above as standard. Some are optional extras. The Wi-Fi capability, for instance, only comes if you cough up around $99 (ouch) for Sony's UWA-BR100 wireless LAN USB dongle. And the wireless rear speakers require you to cough up $299 for the WAHT-SA1 wireless rear speaker kit, with its audio transmitter and receiver units.Once these two additional costs have been factored in, the E370 looks rather less great value. So we guess the extent to which it's a potential bargain depends on how easily you can live without adding the optional extras.Most Blu-ray players now carry plenty of multimedia capabilities, so it's no surprise to find the E370's Blu-ray/amp unit carrying two USB ports for playback of video, audio and photo files from USB storage or portable media devices. Dream streamThe Ethernet port that's essential for compliance with the latest Profile 2.0 Blu-ray standard also has considerable multimedia significance beyond its ability to access BD Live content. You can use it stream in stuff stored on a DLNA PC, or to access Sony's Bravia Internet Video online platform.This platform is the most highly developed online system around. The amount of streaming video content it carries is prodigious, with highlights being Singing Fool, SBS' and Channel Seven's catchup service, and the inevitable YouTube. And that really is just the tip of the iceberg.Simple setupSetting up the E370 system is straightforward. The six speakers all connect to the main Blu-ray and amplification unit via simple colour-coded cables, and the system ships with a microphone for auto-calibration.The only other thing to do right away is connect the system's Ethernet port to your network and activate a software update. Until you do this, the deck won't actually play 3D discs.The rest of the E370's connections are passable rather than outstanding. For while the multimedia jacks already described are welcome, we wouldn't have minded more inputs for allowing other equipment to use the E370's audio abilities. The lack of any HDMI inputs is particularly sad.Fast out of the trapsThe last things worth noting before finding out how the E370 performs are that it can play both Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio tracks, look up track info and cover art on CDs when you're connected to the Internet; and boot discs impressive quickly provided you've got its Quick Start mode activated.The E370's Blu-ray pictures are hard to fault at its price level. They look outstandingly sharp and detailed, gorgeously rich in colour, effortlessly fluid and believable where motion is concerned, and completely devoid of video noise. Mind the bass gapThe system's audio isn't quite so immaculate. As quite often happens with affordable all-in-one systems, the subwoofer fails to tie its bass in particularly convincingly with the sound from the other speakers. There's a gap in the frequency range, presumably due to the satellite speakers not going deep enough to get close to the point in the audio spectrum where the subwoofer cuts in. The subwoofer also tends to sound overwhelming during action scenes. The good news is that the E370's sound quality is actually rather good with the sort of less explosive audio track that makes up the majority of your viewing time. The non-subwoofer speakers sound refined, clear, detailed and immersive, with a comfortingly soothing tone far preferable to the usual brashness that's rife at this level of the home cinema market.

I got the oil changed in my car about a week ago, just prior to a rather long drive on a weekend trip. Everything seemed fine until I was going through some receipts today and noticed on the repair bill it said 10w-30 oil was put into the car. That seemed a bit off and when I checked, sure enough the manual states that the car should have 5w-30.
Kinda upset by this really... seems like they used cheaper stuff then they were supposed to. Is this an issue? I really don't know much of anything about engine oil, other than the 5w-30 should perform better in cold temperatures... and it definitely gets pretty cold around here.
Car is an 03 WRX, by the way.

Ironport Web Access
Having this strange problem accessing the web portal of my management interface. The appliance will not respond to the request.... connections get refused. The problem exists only on the management interface.... the data interface continues to process the URL request from clients. Pings from a system outside the management interface's subnet fail.... pings from a system within the same subnet of the management interface are successful, though request for the management portal fail within the same subnet.
The only way that I can get to the web portal is if I directly connect the management interface to a computer's network card, bypassing any switching or routing device. I have reconfigured the management interface with a different ip address on a different subnet, but that resulted in the same problem behavior.
Any ideas as what could be the culprit here.....
Thanks -

FLORENCE – Pee Dee Electric Cooperative has established a full-fee, four-year scholarship at Francis Marion University.
The Pee Dee Electric Cooperative/R. Sidney Kelley Scholarship honors Kelley, who served as a trustee of Pee Dee Electric for 26 years.
Like other Pee Dee Electric scholarships at Francis Marion, the Kelley scholarship is awarded to a dependent child living in the home of a Pee Dee Electric Cooperative member-owner, where electricity in that home is provided by Pee Dee Electric, or to a dependent child living in the home of a full-time Pee Dee Electric Cooperative employee.
The recipient must have an SAT score of 1100 or higher and demonstrate financial need. The award will be made to an incoming freshman and is renewable for up to four years if the recipient continues to meet eligibility requirements and maintains a minimum 3.0 grade-point average. The full scholarship is currently worth $14,400.
The Kelley scholarship continues a long-standing relationship between the cooperative and Francis Marion. In February, Pee Dee Electric established a similar full-fee, four-year scholarship at FMU in honor of Thomas B. Cunningham, who was a Pee Dee Electric trustee for 32 years.
The company also funds the Pee Dee Electric Cooperative Scholars Program, established in October 1997, which gives financial assistance to FMU students who are children of member-owners and employees. Full-fee scholarships are awarded to students who meet the eligibility requirements and academic criteria and are renewable for up to four years.
Pee Dee Electric Cooperative has electrical service in Chesterfield, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Marion and Lee counties.

Anyway, yesterday, I finally got around to cleaning it up and our son was beyond giddy.
This is the only full shot I have the pool.
He spent a total of 5 hours in the pool with lunch and nap and snack in between. It was stunning out and he had an absolute blast.
The cool back story behind the pool was another neighbor had this for her three sons, the oldest is now in college, and she passed it onto our other neighbors whose two children are now in middle school. That same family also has an above ground pool so they no longer needed this one.
Other neighbors had gone to a huge antique sale and picked up a vintage radio flyer car for our son. They too shall be getting homemade baked goods.
These thoughtful pass alongs and gifts are incredibly sweet and helpful. We now don't need to buy a pool and all the water used goes into the garden when done. The car just adds to more outdoor fun and he really loves the horn.
Ain't it grand when people are so freakin' nice just because?

My First Bathroom Renovation...Help Needed!
5 Attachment(s)
This is my first bathroom renovation, and how ironic it is that I am blessed with a rotted floor to replace. I originally set out to replace the tub, install tile around the walls, and also install tile on the floor. A pretty complete renovation, but nothing I feel I can't handle.
I noticed the tub had a crack in it and I was wondering where the water was going to. As soon as I pulled up the top boards of the floor I saw that the wood was wet all underneath (see pictures). My question is, since I am new to anything renovation, what is the correct path to take as far as correcting the situation? My plan was to rip the wet floor out, replace it with dry boards, and continue on with my renovation. But am I missing anything form what you can see in the pictures? To me the plan is simple, but I fear I may be missing something important. Any tips are greatly appreciated. I am open to advice.
Here is a link to a video of the bathroom I put up on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=musGSIwP0HA
Here is the link the the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=musGSIwP0HA
a cracked tub? I am assuming it was acrylic or fiberglass and hopefully not cast iron? Do you know what caused the crack? how long was the crack there before you started your project. my concern is the cause of the crack. was it due to mechanical damage or because you floor assembly has become weakened and the deflection (sag) in the floor caused the crack.
do you have a crawl space or is it a basement under the floor in question. you'd need to check out the condition of the existing floor joists. are they damaged, sagging, etc. Are the joists rotted or just the wood covering over the joists?
posted photos are not the same as being there. you may want to involve a local contractor to access the situation. again my concern for you is the cause of the crack.
post back when you can.
good luck!
Welcome to the real world of remodeling.
And yes the flooring has to be cut out. A Toe Kick Saw will cut it out even with the bottom plates and a Sawsall or Ossilating saw will cut out the inside corners.
Replace it with Advantec 3/4" subflooring. You use constrution adhesive on top of the floor joist and it's best to screw it down with ceramic coated decking screws. It can be nailed but why take a chance.
Any time your replacing a tub you can be 99% sure the new and old drains are not going to line up. Make sure you leave room below the floor to make adjustments.
Always replace the whole tub control valve while you have it all apart.
Not worth taking a chance with a 20 plus year old valve.
You've made a whole lot more work for yourself by just ripping the sheetrock like that. A simple cut along the side of a stud with a drywall saw, sawsall, or ossilating saw would have been the way to go.
If the plan is to use a shower curtain or install any grab bars in the tub area make sure to add blocking in the walls.
My next question, what do I seal the seams with of the AdvanTech boards where they join?
Thank you so much for your help.

Day 2 Update:
I ripped up more of the flooring today, and also removed the toilet and sink. A couple of issues need to be addressed. I really need the guidance of people more skilled than I am.
First issue: The toilet flange was cemented to the pipe. Both are pvc, so I went ahead and chipped away at the flange, as I would like to lay tile underneath the new flange. Well, in my infinite wisdom I used a sawzall to section the flange to hep it break up easier, and I accidentally cut into the other pipe (that comes up from the basement). I know I'll have to replace it, no big deal. But what is the best way to replace that part of the PVC? You can see the cut in the pic.
Second issue: The floor. As you can see in the pic, there are strips of what looks like 5" wide 3/4" thick wood on top of the joists. On top of that is what looks like roofing paper, then more wood, then construction felt, then a thin peice of wood that was used to lay the vinyl on. My question is, what should I replace? Should I go a far as pulling up the strips of wood leaving only the joists? Or should I leave the strips and build up from there? I planned on using the AdvanTech 3/4" Subfloor. What exactly is the correct way to layer a bathroom floor?
I'm sorry I have so many questions. I am just so eager to do this the right way. Thank you in advance for your input.
I'm no expert around here, but I'm pretty sure the best thing to do is rip up the floor boards so you're down to the joists, and then lay your 3/4" T&G plywood/subfloor on top of the joists, glued and screwed to the joists. However, before you lay down the new subfloor, you should check the spans of your joists to verify that your joists meet at least the maximum allowable deflection for tile (so the subfloor won't flex at all, and your tile/grout won't crack down the road). There are calculators online that help you calculate the deflection of your joists, but best thing is to basically determine the size of your joists, and their span (the distance they run where they're not directly supported underneath). If your deflection is too high (span is too long and/or your joists are undersized), you might need to reinforce the joists BEFORE laying down the subfloor.
Fixing that drain pipe for the toilet should be a piece of cake. You'll basically just need to buy a coupler to glue a new piece in place to raise it a few inches, shouldn't be much of an issue.
At this point I'd say rip up the plank flooring and determine the size/span of your joists and verify they can handle a tile flooring.
The "layering" for tile basically goes joists, subfloor (plywood), durock/hardi backer (1/4" or 1/2" thick) laid in a bed of thinset screwed to the subfloor, then tile in a bed of thinset.
That sounds like a plan to me. I have looked around and haven't seen anything about laying the backerboard in thinset on top of the plywood. Is this neccessary or will simply screwing it down be sufficient?
I'm sure someone else will chime in, but it's my understanding that laying the backerboard in thinset is critical/definitely the way to go. Reason being that the backerboard itself is kind of "brittle," and the thinset underneath the cement board fills all voids underneath and makes it very solid. When installing the cement board, you trowel thinset onto the subfloor (can't remember the trowel size I used, maybe 3/8"?) and lay the cement board in it like you would tile. Also, it's my understanding you want to screw the cement board to the subfloor but avoid hitting the joists w/ the screws. This allows some movement between the cement board and subfloor/joists, which is good because they're different materials (expand/contract at different rates). Hope that makes sense.
That makes sense. Thank you so much for your help. Right now I'm in the process of ripping up the floor, replacing the rotted wood, and straightening out some of the 2x4s that the last person put in sloppily (so the wall will be even when I screw the backerboard on). I'll keep you updated with pics at the end of the day. I look forward to your input :thumbup:

You can see the rotted wood around the shower plumbing, extending behind the closet. This will all be pulled up and replaced with the AdvanTech 3/4" subfloor I purchased last night. The reason I removed the drywall around the walls is because I had to replace a few 2x4s that were poorly installed, then I am going to tile the bottom 4 feet and paint the top half of the walls.
Just an FYI in case anyone is wondering: I bought a Dremel Multi Max with the 3" wood blade and it is terrible. If you don't mind spending 15 minutes to cut through a peice of 3/4" wood than this is the tool for you. I'm going back to Lowe's tonight to try another tool.
How is it looking so far to you guys?
I'm in the process of builing a bathroom and NewhomeDIYGuy saved me the time of typing. Joists, 3/4" T&G, thinset, Permabase (1/4" is standard for floors, 1/2" OK if you need the height), thinset, tile. (I'm doing electric heat under the tile, too.)
What's going where the tub was? Another? If you're doing a walk-in shower, Shluter makes a premade pan that can save you a step or two there. Also, how are you going to waterproof the shower/tub floor and walls? Figure that out before you start.
I am just putting in another tub to replace the old one. Nothing fancy, just a fiberglass tub. To waterproof the shower/tub, I am first stapling 4 mil platic to the walls, then putting up 1/2 backerboard. I am using fibeglass tape for the seams and corners with a layer of thinset over top. Where the backerboard meets the tub, I am caulking the seam and putting a layer of thinset over top. After all that is done, I will be laying tile over top. Do you think I am missing a step?
3 Attachment(s)
Day 4 Update:
I finished ripping out the old floor. I doubled up a few joists to better support the new floor as well. Now it's on to laying the new floor. Here is the first section of the new subfloor going in. I haven't secured it yet, just wanted to make sure I cut it correctly. It looks pretty good so far to me. What do you guys think? I'm about to squirt some Liquid Nails Heavy caulk to the joists and screw it in.
My only question before I begin is this: Should I add some support to the outer perimeter where the new floor meets the wall? It is not resting on anything. What do you recommend?

Nearly century-old Evansville organ on move
EVANSVILLE, Ind.
A deteriorating organ with some 5,000 pipes is being removed from Evansville's old downtown coliseum in hopes of getting a new life.
Workers from the University of Evansville and the American Guild of Organists expect they'll need a week to take apart the organ that was installed in 1919 at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Coliseum. The organ has gone unused for about 50 years and parts of it have been damaged from burst water lines and roof leaks.
University chaplain Tammy Gieselman tells the Evansville Courier & Press that school officials are working on plans to expand its chapel and incorporate the rebuilt Tinker Memorial Organ.
Vanderburgh County officials have said they can't afford the estimated $1.5 million cost to restore the organ.

This is the weirdest bug i've seen in a while:
In an editor instance in Internet Explorer 8, with compatibility mode disabled, when looking at 'code view' and with some :hover declaration declaren anyware in the page (that contains the editor), the scrollbar of the editor starts 'blinking' and scrolling up when hovering over and out the textarea.
The :hover declaration is the containing page could be something like
<style type="text/css"> somethingthatisnotA:hover { color: #ABC; } </style>
and that declaration has nothing to do with the editor at all! To reproduce this problem, please try the following
- Fire up IE8 and disable Compatibility mode
- Visit http://reggino.kingsquare.nl/bugreport/ckeditor/test.html
- click 'Code' and scroll down
- Mouse your mouse over and out the textarea. (there are more events that trigger this behaviour!)
- Check your scrollbar...

I experienced the same problem in version 3.1 of ckeditor. I added the following code at line 72 (just above the line that says: styles.height = holderElement.$.clientHeight + 'px';):
styles.width = holderElement.$.clientWidth + 'px';
Of course this has the knock-on effect of putting a fixed width on the textarea but it does the job. A bit more about this IE8 bug here http://grantovich.net/posts/2009/06/that-weird-ie8-textarea-bug/

This bug existed previously on that part of code but it affected only !CKEDITOR.env.ie8Compat, the listener for afterCommandExec isn't removed in the unload so collapsing the toolbar afterwards generates an error.
If the window is resized horizontally (with the editor in source mode and in its default state: not maximized, not resized), then the textarea doesn't resize. It should be possible to add a listener to the resize of the window to catch this situation (and as in the previous case, it must be removed at unload)

The study, published in the Human Communication Journal, found that users who spend time reading the news on their mobile devices in public are actually more likely to engage strangers in conversation. Campbell believes this is because "reading the news on your smartphone gives people something relevant to talk about with others who are occupying that space."
Campbell goes on to explain that "Information about public affairs is more relevant to a stranger than what you did last weekend." Fair enough. Moreover, the immediacy of modern news makes it even more salient, and more worthy of a spontaneous conversation.
But outside of mobile news, users are, as expected, less likely to engage strangers. Calling, texting, tweeting, etc. were shown to detract from public interaction. "This may show how technology can also fuel a type of insularity, where one is wrapped up in their own personal affairs at the expense of engaging with others in the public sphere," explains Campbell.
So how about you? Do you strike up conversations with strangers about the latest news?

Just received mine, and tested it. It works nicely.
i just want to report on weird behavior: if the xbee module is plugged on the shield, and the shield set up to use Arduino's UART (RX and TX pins, on digital pins 0 & 1), then I could not upload any sketch. Removing it solves the issue.
Is it an expected feature? I can well imagine interferences with the XBee module, just want to make sure.
No public wish lists :(

"This card came out beautifully. I was able to use the portions of the photos that I wanted as well as enhance several smaller photos to make a bolder statement. The card's paper quality was excellent. One suggestion, I like to write a short note on the back of the cards. Because of the black base color of the card it would be extra nice if Tinyprints offered the purchase of a gold gel pen with the order."
"I know I rely on Tinyprints to deliver a quality product on time that is also beautiful. I love that I can edit so much of the card unlike other companies."
"I really like this card. It was easy to design, and it's very simple yet elegant. The paper quality is very good. I chose the matte finish and it came out great! The reason I gave print quality only 4 stars was because I received 2 envelopes that were printed on with addresses of people I don't even know. That's 2 less envelopes that I can use. Otherwise, I would absolutely order this card again!"
"I loved this card, not only because it is done in the colors of Ohio State, but also because it was simple yet said everything I wanted to convey to our family and friends. Our family pic fit beautifully."
"Perfect, we loved it and so did everyone else. I used a photo editor app on my phone to create it. I only wish you had it as an option. Great job.Looking forward to future projects from you."

Telstra has supported Red Cross through workplace giving since 2011. In 2013, Telstra employees donated more than $56,000 through their workplace giving program. This figure was matched by the Telstra Foundation to support a number of Red Cross programs. Telstra also promotes opportunities for employees to show they care in the community by volunteering with Red Cross, an opportunity a number of different groups have taken up over the last 12 months.
"At Telstra we want to make a meaningful contribution to things that matter, both to our employees and to society," says Kelly Rafferty, Employee Giving Manager. "We look forward to continuing our relationship with Red Cross for many years to come."
Volunteers from Telstra have teamed up with Red Cross members to teach them how to use the internet for both personal use and to help them better connect with Australian Red Cross, their fellow members and Red Cross news from around the world.
Some members had never used the internet. Armed with an iPad and the help of Telstra volunteers, members are now up and surfing the net. Parramatta Branch member, Stella Carr, was surprised at what you could find, "You can watch videos of old songs from the 50s. We didn't have that in the old days!" Other members hoped to be able to connect with family overseas via Skype and Facebook.
Heather Rea, Digital Literacy Advisor from Telstra's Digital Inclusion team says, "A lack of skills and confidence in using the internet is the main obstacle to going online. But with a little bit of guidance and a little bit of practice, there's no reason why older people can't jump online and be even more connected to the global Red Cross Movement. We're happy to volunteer our time to help out with that."

Possibly storyline with AJ turning heel
What do you think about a storyline where AJ Styles joins Daniels and Kazarian in a next few weeks and forms Fourtune with another member? I know it's highly unlikely but since AJ has nothing else to do after losing a shot at WHC, and WTTCOTW are probably out of the WTTC picture, would this be a good storyline for them to make an impact on Impact?
Re: Possibly storyline with AJ turning heel
Pretty sure they finally did settle on Fortune, not Fourtune ;) Anyway, I wouldn't mind them reforming, but they are clearly setting up Styles to be the babyface to win the title at BFG next year.
Re: Possibly storyline with AJ turning heel
alex1997 on Tuesday:
Re: Possibly storyline with AJ turning heel
I was saying that a few days ago see above ^^ :D
Re: Possibly storyline with AJ turning heel
I thought he was gonna turn last night during the promo. It seems obvious to me.
Re: Possibly storyline with AJ turning heel
I can see AJ turning heel. I just don't see how turning heel would automatically make him forgive Kaz and Daniels, after everything they've done.
I wouldn't mind seeing a short-term reunion though - all 4 guys have developed so much in the last 12-18 months, it could be interesting for a while.
Re: Possibly storyline with AJ turning heel
Styles doesn't even need to turn heel.
If you look back, everything started with daniels saying AJ is too naive.
Being mr. nice guy isn't working for AJ, a more serious persona should be used to revitalize a stale character.
Also, I think they are building up Storm vs Styles for a future big title match at either lockdown or genesis.
Re: Possibly storyline with AJ turning heel
Hogan could ask Fortune to come back together for one last run for the good of the whole company. In the first few weeks we could have the whole trust issues between the whole group before week by week, Fortune realise that they have no choice but to work together or get destroyed.
This could lead to the final showdown between Fortune and A&8's at BFG 2013 with Fortune facing off against A&8's throughout the PPV.
We could have matches like:
AJ vs Aries (aligned with A&8's to regain the championship)
Beer Money vs MCMG (could be the first time that Beer Money team up since they broke up)
Kaz vs someone like DOC
Re: Possibly storyline with AJ turning heel
Daniels beats Styles at Final Resolution. After the match, Styles has a confused look on his face, which quickly turns into rage. He starts throwing shit around, and when officials try to calm him down, he starts kicking their ass. After that he fast walks to the back continuously looking back at the ring.
Re: Possibly storyline with AJ turning heel
A company as obsessed with storyline continuity as TNA is under the current booking regime isn't going to reform Fortune right now. AJ Styles has good reason to hate Daniels and Kaz and they probably won't be seen hanging out together even if they are all heels. It simply wouldn't be logical for AJ to join them when he's been feuding with them for a year and a half now, especially not when you consider just how intense the feud is.
AJ's probably going to go on a long losing streak until he finally snaps, probably on RVD to set up a feud for RVD's X Division Title, which is the loophole for AJ to get his World Title shot. Either that or AJ overcomes his issues and goes on to win the BFG Series and become the champion at Bound for Glory.

Pinion angles...
I bought a used/abused '76 Capri II with a 289/T5/4.11:1
8" Ford, but the idiot previous owner screwed up the rear
end install something serious. He had the pinion pointing
at the tranny, it's about 7 degrees up, and the tranny is
about 2 degrees down...
I'm looking at resetting the pinion to about 5 degrees
down, but it may not be enough...
The pinion angles should be the same at both ends of the driveshaft.
Are you getting any vibration or "U" joint wear?
pinion angle
pinion angle should be pointed down 2 to 5 deg depending on horsepower. when you launch the car the pinion should come up in direct line with the drive shaft.
i have read several articles saying both pinion angles should be the same. i am not going to argue the point. all the drag racers i know all set the rear angle and don't worry about the front one. your choice.
Drag cars are set up for constant acceleration and axle twist................street cars are not.
Re: pinion angle
For street use the angles should be parallel. If the trans angle is 3* down the pinion angle should be 3* up as in this drawing from the Inland Empire Driveline web site.
What lead me to the problem was the vibration
when I got on it, wicked doesn't begin to come
close to discribing it... So for my lunch hour
today I spent a bit of time gathering data at
work today, basicly going around measuring
pinion angles of various vehicles in the parking
lot. Most of them were stock, but a couple are
somewhere between mild and wild street cars,
one of them is the equivilent of the Capri, it's
a mid '80s Mustang with a 347, T5, and 3.70:1
gearing, his pinion is set at 6* down, while the
tranny is 2.5* down, so I think I'm on the right
track, all I have to do is find/build a 13* shim,
I'll let you know how it goes...

Congratulations to the Fremantle Sail&Anchor and Clancy's Fish Pub for being in the top ten of Australia's best beer establishments in the inaugural Beer&Brewer magazine list.
The Sail came in at number six and Clancy's at number 8.
Malicious rumours that Clancys' turnover is dramatically down because I stopped drinking alcohol six months ago, are unfounded. The good news is that I'll have the odd sip of nice wine and a good old Guinness again as off next week. Half a year of abstinence is enough.
Roel Loopers
Fremantle's rejuvenated CLANCY'S is doing new things. Not only are they open for breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 am, but in September they also have the Free Friday Fiesta music on.
This Friday September 5 it starts at 5.30 pm with The Limelight Jazz, followed at 7.30 pm by Reverend Todd YoYo and from 8.30 on Jim Fisher and Ian Simpson Bluegrass Co. will be on.
And dare I put a verbal selfie up and announce I had my last alcoholic drink at Clancys four months ago on May 4. A single pint of Guinness. I doubt Tony Abbott will give me the OA(Order of Australia) or that the Pope will grant me Sainthood, so a bit of self-congratulation will have to do.

CLANCYS (slightly) BIGGER AND BETTER
Justin Rogan, the manager of CLANCY'S in Fremantle, showed me around today to point out the improvements they are making to the building. It looks promising!
They are building a whole new kitchen, cool, store, and staff room on the south-western corner, while the old toilet block has been demolished and the toilets are relocated to the former kitchen area.
The alfresco areas on both sides of the building are extended and will be under cover, with heating in winter and cooling in summer.
Clancys is going back to the 80s with booths installed in the room where the stage is, but the interior design will all be in the same Clancy's style as City Beach, Dunsborough and Canning Bridge. The estimated re-opening time is mid to late August, so not far away at all. If you can't wait that long, hop on the bus to Canning Bridge or spend a long weekend in Dunsborough.
The whole area at Princess May Park will transform even more with renovations of the former Boys School-FTI building, and the building of the Hilton Hotel on the Point Street carpark site. Good things are happening in Freo, just a bit of patience needed!
Roel Loopers
Comments Off on CLANCYS (slightly) BIGGER AND BETTER
The renovations at Fremantle Clancy's Fishpub are progressing well, and by the look of it there will be a larger alfresco area at the back of the pub at Princess May Park. That will give more parents the opportunity to sit outside and watch over their children, who can safely play in the park away from traffic.
Clancys will open again in mid August, so stay tuned. I'll keep you up to date.

Tell your wife it's all about saving money when you argue if you should go out on Friday night. A pint of Guinness for only $ 7.00 and an Irish music concert by Sean Roche for only $ 15.00 (members $ 10,00) is such a bargain that one cannot stay at home.
It's all happening at the FREMANTLE WORKERS CLUB in Henry Street at 7.30 this Friday, and is a bit of an early St Patrick's Day celebration.
The cafe will be open from 5.30 for a good and cheap meal, so go join the fun, and bring the wife!

Plans are well under way for a 52 patron micro brewery Blacksall Cellar Door at the Fremantle Markets. The proposal comes from hotel operators Patrick Prendiville and Craig and Ian Hutchinson.
The proposal is to brew beer on the premises and sell it there, as an off spin of the already operating Blacksall micro brewery at Salt on Port Beach.

- - tailbone injuries? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/3033-tailbone-injuries.html)
tailbone injuries?
Hi, i was wondering if anyone had this before. The pain is excruciating. It started when i went snowboarding a week and a half ago and i had this bad fall on my butt and i swear the pain almost killed me. Then 3 days later, i went up again and fell on the same exact spot and i was in tears. And its a good thing the weathers kinda sucky lately (i'm in new england) so i'm gonna give it a rest.
Anyone knows how long it takes to heal? Also, do those snowboard pads actually help? I might just go get me one of those.
haha...I did this multiple times till I went out and bought some ass pads! It actually will never heal properly and will always hurt so just go get some crash pants and save yourself some agony. I have the demon pants, but there are a bunch out there that are good. Worth every penny
Yeah, get some pads. They do help. I usually just wear my football girdle w/tailbone pad on a normal day of riding (it's not as bulky as full-on crash pads), but if I do hit the tailbone hard, out come the full-on pads.
This same scenario happened to me while skateboarding. Your tailbone is a magnet once you fall on it. If you hurt your tailbone you must however hard it may be take it easy until it gets better or else you will keep falling on it.
If you bruised it you'll be good to go in less than 2 weeks... if you broke/fractured it you'll be down for at least six.... if it was broke you would know also b/c every time you cough it would make you tear up...
Does it feel like you jammed half your vertebrae into your throat? Hurt to sit, hurt to turn, hurt to stand, hurt to walk? I've done it off a jump crooked as could be and landing my assbone directly on ice. It took me about 2 weeks or so to recover but the first week was god awful. It was a while ago but I'm pretty sure I took a day or two off work because of it. I couldn't finish riding that day either. Definitely give it a break or quit landing on it because if you keep smashing it without letting it heal you could cause some back problems.
Thanks guys for the input. I think i'm def gonna get me some crash pads.
And yes it used to hurt so bad. But now its so much better. It still hurts when i sit, but i try to lean forward and not sit on soft surfaces. lol. Anyways the pain was not like a week ago, when i was still smarting from a bruised rib as well. Had so much trouble finding the right position to go to sleep. :laugh::D
AzzPads! They saved my tailbone...well, to an extent. I rode the first day or two without it, and it hurt :(. (Keep in mind Im a beginner).
Once I got the pad, i've still taken a few really bad falls, and if I hadn't the impact gear, I think I would have been carried off the mountain cause the pain was so bad.
It's been a week since I last rode, and i'm still feeling it now.
be careful with that bone...i wrecked my motorcycle last june and fucked up my tail bone and it still hurts to sit for long peroids of time...if its just bruized give it some time to rest...but if you break it you can have trouble walking for a long time
Anyone ever try the R.E.D. kindney belt? Looking for something that will cover the top corners of your hip. It looks like it might cover. I always land on the left corner when I catch an edge.

Brooklyners Honey Wild are getting ready to release their new single (out digitally on November 19 via Shorewave Records), and today we're pleased to premiere a '60s pop-influenced song from it, Garden. The surfly melodic track features quirky beats and jangly guitar riffs reminiscent of early Vampire Weekend. Bottom line, as I listened, I started Googling, "Cheap trips to Hawaii."
The double A-side single is composed of Garden and the mellower tune, Magnifique Innocent. To support the 7-inch white vinyl release, Honey Wild will be headlining Mercury Lounge on Monday, November 25. If, like me, you're sitting in an overly heated room staring at a sunny if chilly November day, longing for summer to come back, then I highly encourage you to listen to Garden and check out Honey Wild's regional live dates below.
Upcoming Shows For Honey Wild:
11/23 – North Star Bar – Philadelphia, PA
11/25 – Mercury Lounge – New York, NY

[GERMANY-PORTUGAL REPORT CARD] Germany regained its favorite status by downing Portugal, 3-2, in the first quarterfinal of Euro 2008. The Germans came out on all cylinders and took a 2-0 lead on goals Bastian Schweinsteiger and Miroslav Klose before the Portuguese scored five minutes before the break. Despite taking better charge of the game in the second half, Portugal fell further behind on Michael Ballack's 62nd minute header and didn't strike back until the 87th minute.
Schweinsteiger, on red-card suspension for Germany's dismal performance in a 1-0 against Austria to clinch the quarterfinal spot, poked home
Lukas Podolski's low cross - after a one-two with Ballack - for Germany's first goal and set up the other two with free kicks from the midfield.
Schweinsteiger's goal in the 22nd minute
came shortly after Joao Moutinho missed a golden opportunity for Portugal. Unable to decide whether he should meet Bosingwa's cross with a diving header or a shot, he let the ball bounce high off his
Miroslav Klose, leading scorer at the 2006 World Cup, headed home Schweinsteiger's 26th minute free kick.
Nuno Gomes narrowed the deficit by shooting past Jens Lehmann
after the German keeper's deflection of a shot from Cristiano Ronaldo.
German captain Ballack, who scored the winner against Austria, had his best game of the tournament and capped it
with a header after Schweinsteiger replicated the free kick that set up Klose's goal.
Ballack cleared space for himself by pushing his Chelsea teammate Paulo Ferreira out of the way in an
action missed by the referee.
Although the Portuguese dominated possession in the second half, they relied on futile long-range shots.
Helder Postiga hammered home a 87th
minute header from Nani's cross to make it 3-2 but the Germans held on.
Soccer America's Mike Woitalla grades the players.

Hi, I'm Mary Rogers, Director of Marketing Communications for Cuisinart. This is the Cuisinart Brew Central Coffee maker. This is a great coffee maker. It's very popular. It has a stainless steel housing. It has lots of features and functions. It has, first of all, a one to four cup setting, which you use when you're making one to four cups so that they come out perfectly. It has an hour and a minute button, which you use to program the clock. It has a self-clean feature and a self-clean function. This light will turn red when it's time to clean your coffee maker.
We recommend that you decalcify with filling the reservoir one-third of the way full with white vinegar and the balance with cold water. It goes through a system where it actually decalcifies the coffee maker. It also has a program function, which allows you to program your coffee maker to go off at any time during a 24-hour period. It also has a clock feature, the brew feature, which is how you start your coffee maker. It also has a toggle switch that you use to turn it on or off if you prefer. The other thing that you can do is that you can program it to go off from any time after it's done brewing from zero minutes to four hours. What happens is if you set it on for four hours, it'll keep your coffee warm for four hours. Then it will automatically shut off. It also has a really neat carafe temperature adjustor. It says L, M, or H. So low, medium, or high, and that actually adjusts the temperature of the coffee when it's being brewed.
You would use high if you use more milk in your coffee, like I do. You would use low if you actually drink your coffee black. So it's really great. It has a glass carafe. It holds 12 cups. This is your warming plate. It has a brew pause feature, so when the coffee is brewing, if you remove the carafe, it'll stop the coffee from brewing into the carafe. You can sneak a cup, and then when you put the carafe back in, it will continue brewing. It also comes with a charcoal water filter. We recommend that you use this to remove chlorine tastes, and odor from your coffee. What you do is this goes right up in here in your filter holder. You pop it in there after you get it prepared, put it back in. This is where your water reservoir is.
This coffee maker indicates inside when you look down into the reservoir how much water you put in. It also has a cone style commercial style filter. This actually can be used, washed out, and reused again. This is what I prefer to use when I make coffee. It actually will make more of what we call European style coffee, which may have a little more sediment in it. If you prefer no sediment in your coffee, we recommend that you use the paper filters. This is also where the water comes out. This works as a showerhead, so it showers the water over the ground coffee very evenly.
So there you have it. The Cuisinart Brew Central Coffee Maker.

Hi guys,
I am having a problem with my passenger side window, when you open the door on the E46 Coupe its normal for the window to dip down a tiny bit, however the passenger side is doing this multiple times.. i.e. you open the door, the window dips and then goes back up and keeps doing this until you shut the door..
Any ideas? I think I might be the switch that is faulty? Does anyone know where this is placed in the door?
Thank you..
