Dating can often be fraught with uncertainty and self-consciousness. For those with incurable sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are tailored websites the answer for people nervous of telling potential partners about their condition?
The past decade has witnessed the growth of niche dating websites - from Amish to Zombie enthusiasts - but a particularly burgeoning sector has been the proliferation of STI dating websites.
Now there are so many, there are Top 10 lists.
Many have taglines such as "Stay positive! Find Love, Support and Happiness" or "Plenty of Positive Fish". Some sites, such as Hmeet, h-date,h-ype are aimed specifically at people with the most common types of incurable STIs, such as herpes and HPV, which causes genital warts.
"If you have just been told you have herpes or HPV and you feel like your life is over, well, we are here to prove to you that it's not. In fact, it's a whole new start," it says on another H site.
Others, such as PositiveSingles - which has 30,000 members in the UK, accumulating 100,000 new members last year worldwide - and DatePositive, which has more than 6,000 profiles, allow users to search for people with almost any sexually transmitted infection.
Typically you enter your age and sexual preference, details you'd add on any mainstream dating site. Then you can search for people with a specific sexually transmitted infection.
The rise in these dating sites coincides with increasing rates of STIs. There was a 2% UK rise in new cases from 2010-2011, according to the Health Protection Agency's latest statistics. More than 100,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with genital herpes or HPV every year
Meanwhile, there are about 20 million new STI cases each year in the US, and about 110 million in total, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Although some infections such as chlamydia are curable, others including herpes, HPV and HIV are not.
It means that entering the dating world with an STI is a reality for many. And the stigma can make it a daunting prospect.
"[Some people] feel like freaks, like lepers," says Max, 44
Kate, 36, from Manchester, who has herpes, thinks the stigma attached to STIs also means "people assume you've slept around".
It belies the fact that many people contract STIs from long-term partners - with some people only discovering they've contracted one at the same time they find out their partner has been unfaithful.
For many, the thought of telling a new partner about their STI is terrifying.
Many feel there's no "right time" to have the talk. Too late, and there's the risk of incurring anger or losing trust. Too early, and the person may cut their losses before even getting to know you.
Kate recalls how a promising relationship was ruined by the disclosure of her herpes. "It came up in conversation and I was petrified. It broke us. He didn't want to take any chances."
For others, the fear of rejection can lead to a withdrawal from dating altogether.
"I've had the chat with people before and they've not wanted to know, and whatever anyone says, it knocks you back, knocks your confidence. Even when you're let down politely, it affects you. It makes you realise that you are a bit different," says 50-year-old Londoner Mark, who has had both herpes and HPV for more than 20 years.
Against this backdrop, it's easy to understand the success of STI dating websites. On most sites, users can write as much or as little about their condition as they like.
Putting all the information upfront "brings it back to the basics of a relationship... do you like each other?" says Kate. "For some people it's a life saver."
As with any relationship, shared experiences can also lead to shared understanding.
And there is a feeling that some provide more than a mainstream dating site, offering support networks and a sense of community. There are often online counsellors, people can share their experiences in blog posts and some have events.
"It's like a herpetic Facebook," says Max.
However, some people are wary of the message STI dating websites could send.
HVA director Marian Nicholson believes that some sites perpetuate the negative stigma surrounding herpes.
This is completely out of touch with the reality of living with a condition like herpes, she says. For most people, it barely affects their lives, while many others do not even know they have it.
Similarly HPV often only causes one outbreak of genital warts despite technically being incurable, says sexual health physician Dr Mark Pakianathan.
"These sites can make people think 'now I am a leper I need to find a leper to date'," says Nicholson. "People shouldn't narrow their pool of potential partners."
It's a view shared by sexual health charity Family Planning Association. "We wouldn't endorse [these sites]", says director of information Nakita Halil says. "The reality is that you can have a happy, healthy sex life without transmitting [an STI]".
There's also the suggestion that these sites can give the false impression that just because you have the same STI, unprotected sex is safe.
"Just because you have the same STI as someone else, it doesn't mean they're the same as you in other respects," says Dr Pakianathan. "One STI doesn't preclude the presence of others."
For HIV sufferers, there's the risk of a "super infection" from a drug-resistant strain carried by someone else, he says. And there are more 100 strains of HPV, of which more than 30 affect the genital area.
Of course plenty of people with STIs find love with non-infected partners.
Despite joining an STI dating site, Kate says she kept her profiles on mainstream dating websites, clearly stating her herpes condition. Although she received the odd abusive message, it's where she met her current partner
"People will either talk to you or they won't. If they have a problem they can self-select out," she says.
Even face-to-face talks need not be the source of anxiety.
"Close to 90% [of the time], it depends on how you tell them. It's about re-educating people [and] making it normalised," Max says. "If you are crying, telling them like it's a life destroyer, they will it treat it like one."
Ultimately, it seems to depend on the type of person and their willingness to face possible rejection.
As long as there is stigma in mainstream society, STI dating websites will seemingly continue to serve a purpose to those who wish to avoid such scenarios.

What music do you listen to while riding?
Subject says it all. whats your fav sogs to listen when going out for a spin. or some good tunes for a long trip. just started an iTunes playlist so i'll put forward
'paradise city' By Guns n Roses
how about
bat out of hell .. meatloaf ..
because of that line " & i never see the sudden kerb till it's way too late "
ya didnt see it cos you were listening to music instead of looking the fugg where you were going !!!!!
music + travel = in 4 wheels ( or more ) NOT ON 2 !!!!
wide open till you see god ... THEN brake
afraid I have to agree with Weasel
Takes all my concentration looking where I and other peeps are going
I'm listening too is me singing..... and its not good......
"If i need the Moon, ill bring it down myself"...
Star Trekkin'
Music whilst riding
Jesus built my hotrod (Ministry), Firestarter (Prodigy), Combichrist, Nachtmahr, Grendel, Noisuf-X, Faderhead, Funker Vogt, Hocico, Eisenfunk etc etc etc......
Don't listen to music all the time but I find it can help with focusing the mind from time to time.
music while riding
dont get me wrong. i dont listen most of the time. but motorway riding deffo needs music
Tunes while riding?.....
Akrapovic's 5th symphony! Plentiful bass loveliness!
Please don't downvote my post...... You nasty bully you... :-P
sadpanda but gotta disagree again , on a motorway i need no distractions what so ever , as i tend to ride ( conditions dependent ) , at 140 + & i love filtering at that kinda speed anorl ( frightens the fugg outa the cagers !!! )
stealth have you ever listened to akras 12,000 rpm overture ?
tis fookin excellent mate i highly recommend it
wide open till you see god ... THEN brake
Music to my ears
... the sound of my bike
I'd rather be tuned into the road, than any music.
If it ain't fun, don't do it
Nope mate, its a v-twin, it don't go that far lol. Tho I've heard its a cracking album......" />
SadPanda, gotta aggre with most people on here, there is NO place for listening to music while you're riding. As a motorcyclist you are more vulnerable and therefore need all your senses/wits about you!
If you need tunes, buy a race can!
Please don't downvote my post...... You nasty bully you... :-P
I normally find anything other
than Metalica or Cypress Hilljust gets lost over the windrush
Just the engine
for me, too. I do miss my lovely Vance and HInes but the Striple can scream quite nicely if provoked.
Also I have't been able to get out of the habit of listening for engine trouble. Almost irrelevent nowadays but it used to be an important early warning system on the sort of bikes I could afford in my teens.
Ever so useful when you're not expecting the 140 mph overtake (was that you, weasel?) which always makes me jump, even when you see and hear it coming.
Try to be a sparkly unicorn, not a miserable cow.
Never listened to music whilst riding..... I love the sound of the engine, the roar of air through the induction box.... And I always have an ear out for those sirens too !! Lol
I can`t hear any music whilst riding.
fair point lads
i first used earphones to block out the stupid wind noise on the motorway. and since i'm doing a relatively sensible 80mph on the motorway i use music to stop me getting bored out of my skull.
though after these comments i feel i should ditch the earphones and invest in a better helmet
don't use them. Only time I used them I got over excitable and got pulled by the cops.
For a split second I did think "big estate Vs supermoto around some estates... hmm" and then of course pulled over.
sometimes i use them, i put just one earpiece in so i can still ear whats around me and the bike of course. And i listen to anything what on my mp3
**me **
i listen to most anything from late 50's to 80's but not disco or poncey type crap rock n roll blues tamla rock
It's actually "I never see the sudden curve 'till it's way too late"...
Makes more sense... he goes flying off a great height, in my imagining of the tragedy. Probably along the winding passes through the Colorado mountains, or up route-1 in California. Saw many opportunities to do just that while cruising up and down there myself.
Edit note: Agreed about not listening to music while riding!
Referred to this Meat Loaf situation as a 'tragedy', because 'tragedy' doesn't just mean something sad or unfortunate, it's an ancient Greek concept concerning a terrible thing that happened because of a flaw in the character of the individual concerned.
In Meat Loaf's BooH, it was his inability to stop thinking about his girl. "But I can't stop thinking of you. And I never see the sudden curve 'til it's way too late!"
Listening to music while riding? Damn. If you're getting bored while riding, you run a very serious risk of getting dead fast. And that would be a real tragedy.
if you are listening to music while riding then you are NOT riding....suggest you get a car!The difference bet a good biker and 90per cent of car drivers is the level of concentration and if u come to grief and they find yer phones on u can forget any claim for anything!!

ops, I was refering to Shawna´s comment!
Thank you for the imput girls! It was not exactly like that.
Imagine you are cuddling your pet, or your son - then you pass your hands gently through his skin/fur/hair to show how you love him/her - Its this :p. Literally, translating it would be "take care", but I never heard "to take care" used on this way.
We have expressions I can find no synonym in English, but there´s also some that I can´t express in Portuguese, because English is more precise for them - sorrow, for example, is a very precise word in english, and realise is another one - we have lots of sentences to say realise, but no single word.
Great use of these assets. Like the arrangement!
oppps I was referring to your #3 sorry I wasn't clear before :)
Do you mean like gentle, kind, tender-hearted? Or is it a special word that doesn't translate well. My friend from Belize has words like that from her country/culture that just don't translate to an English word she says. We have been friends about 15 years and she has live in America more than 25 years and it still happens every once in a while. Cute layout idea to scrap about yourself and who you are. Thanks for sharing about yourself with us. :)

STORY BY:Shaheem Reid(XXL)
The fans don't have to send any more nasty tweets to Lil Wayne's Young Money underboss Mack Maine. No more delays, Tha Carter IV is finally on store shelves today (August 29).
"It's like the stars are aligning again," Mack told XXLMag.com. " All the fans got mad when we pushed the album back to August 29. I woke up to death threats. A cat in Lebanon hit me [and said], 'You come to Lebanon, we got something for your ass.' I'm like, 'What's this about? Oh, we said we gonna push the release date back.'"
So with the record in the marketplace, not only are there high expectations for Weezy artistically, but everyone is looking for Birdman, Jr to put up those big opening numbers again.
"[Wayne] actually told us if he don't do those same numbers again as C3 don't be mad," Mack admitted.
The Young Money president says YMCB are thinking more long range than just a strong start.
"I said this before," he shared. "I told Nicki—she was kinda nervous about her first-week sales—I said, 'First week sales don't matter.' I'd rather my final sales matter. I know albums from Juvenile 400 Degreez to Beiber's first album sold 20, or 30,000 the first-week and went onto sell 2 million one album then 6 million on another album. I saw Gaga did the 99 cent thing [and] then [her] second-week it did like 175,000. Congratulation as it relates to her. With Wayne, I don't want him to sell a million the first-week, [and] then drop to 100,000 the next week then 50,00 the following week. I'd rather sell ten times platinum total."
"People have gotten away from working a record," Mack added, blasting most record companies business models, "'You better do good your first week. If your first week numbers are not good, we gonna move onto another artist,'" he mimicked a typical record exec.
"With Nicki, we're on our seventh or eighth video on Pink Friday," he boasted. "We working!"
Stay tuned to XXLMag.com later this week for Tha Carter IV's first-week sales projection as well as the official Nielsen SoundScan numbers next Wednesday, September 7

For anyone unfamiliar, Apple hired Groening to produce illustrations for a brochure about Macs that was aimed at college students. At the time, Groening was best known as the artist of the comic Life in Hell, as The Simpsons has not yet premiered. The brochure was titled, 'Who Needs a Computer Anyway' and interspersed Groening's Life in Hell style illustrations with standard information on Apple's Mac computers.

Cori, was wondering if you ever got a food plan? I would love one also.
I have been taking it for almost a week and have only had one problems (headache) and that was b/c i FORGOT to eat, but thats not something new fo rme... either one really./
I was 5'1 and 154...only 11 days ago. Ive already lost 13 pounds and am close to seeing the 130's again. Im going to stay on it for another 25 days and then get off for at least a while. I hope to loose another 15-20 pounds.
One BAD thing I found is it will make you very emotional, I took it 6 days straight and was very sad and moody those days and then the 7th day I skipped and felt fine, today I took it and about 2 hours later my sad mood was back,
I just started takeing this that the doctor gave me . but im not to sure what all to eat . if anyone has a way of emailing me a food plan i would really like it . i did take this pill 6 months ago for a month and i lost 5 bls but that was it and the doctor told me that he want to keep me on it now for 6 months and see how it does. but i need help finding the rite foods to eat . its hard when you have young kids and all they want is junk food and wont eat what i cook that is healthy . :) you can email me and let me now i would greatly help me out. good luck to everyone that is doing this and have fun. firstname.lastname@example.com
I took phen for about 3 months and lost 30 pounds. the moment i got off of it i gained even more than what i was before. I was 129 getting off of it and that was less than a year ago. now i'm at 173. i will never take phen again
I would like to say that I started on this 8 months ago. My starting weight was 268 and I am 5' 8". I have lost 75 pounds during that 8 months. I feel 100% better, and do not have the bad self image I used to. I would like to lose down to 160 and feel that is approriate for my age, height, and the fact that I hvae 4 children. Let me clarify that I have not been on the meds for the whole 8 months... actually havent taken them the past 2 months and have continued to lose the weight. Not only did it help boost me into the weight loss, but I have extra special people there backing me up the whole way. I have just over 30 more to lose and feel like I have a new appreciation for food. You dont live to eat... you eat to live!!! Therefor, make wise choices and think lean protein, fruits, veggies, and WATER!!!!!!! Best of luck to all!!!
I started taking the 30 mg pill on May 14 2010 I weighed in at 203 I'm 29 yrs old and 5'3 I have been following a low calorie diet and exercise 30 min a day 4 days a week. I don't eat after 7 pm and I watch my portion being on this pill makes that really easy since I'm hardly hungry. I lost 7 lbs my 1st week and today June 6 2010 I weighed in at 180 lbs !!! That's 23 lbs lost so far in just over 3 weeks. I still have 40 more lbs that I would like to lose but so far I am amazed!! I feel great and have alot of energy. I would recommend this to anyone who really needs that extra help like I did!!!!
I was loving it at first, after about 5 days on half a pill, I could tell the effect wore off after a couple hours. I started taking the 37.5 mg once a day early in the morning, again it worked for about 3 days and after that I was still hungry, and did not get that energy rush. I have stopped taking them. I will not put a drug into my body if it has no effect on me. I will go back to trying to eat right and get active...I love to dance so I'll be tearing up the dance floor (in my bedroom) burning extra calories and eating more fruits, and trying to take in smaller portions. I've lost weight before without drugs, so I don't even understand what made me want to take this, I guess I was just being LAZY. I wish you all luck, but not for me and even thougI did lose 5 pounds, I gained 8 after I stopped the pills.
I would tell you to find out what you love to do, and do lots of it, get moving, and eat every few hours to keep your metabolism going. After I had my 2nd daughter I weighed in at 260, by the time she was 1 I was down to 160. My daughter is now 8 and when she was 7 I hit 204, dropped down to 176 in about a year, just doing the right things. I'm back up to 195, it is really frustrating and I know that I have to make a lifestyle change if I want to keep it off!
Best of Luck to you all!
i never thought that i would wake up one day and not want to have pancakes for breakfast!! phen is changing my life, iv tride every diet and magic pill, but this is different. i am an extreme over eater and now i have to force myself to eat, i have more energy for the gym and to carry on with my day. phen is time released so its not like other hunger suppresents that stop working at night and make eat the house before bed. i love it, GO FOR IT
i have a hypothyroid problem and take a daily pill to help is this diet pill safe to mix any info would be great
Folks, I have read several of the posts here - do not take a pill to lose weight if you are not exercising and eating right - go get help it you dont know how. If you cant afford help, walking 30 mins a day is free and you'll be amazed at what it will do for you. If you dont change your habits, you may lose weight on this pill, but I promise you - it will come back - there is plenty of information at your fingertips for learning to eat better. Good Luck!
for those of you who have not seen any results...you are probably not eating! I used to exercise like crazy and could not loose weight, then I started having something to eat first thing in the morning, and then ate something "small" not necessarily healthy but a snack like every 2 hours, stopped eating 2 hours before I went to bed and every week I was loosing 5 pounds. I don't know what happened to me, Iost motivation and now my doctor prescribed 37.5 mg phen...I know this is exactly what I need to get me back on track I am currently 5ft 8in. weighed this morning 192 it's my third day on the pills and I started at 195. You have to EAT and chug down the water!!! I go to curves at least 3x's a week and hopefully I can reach a normal weight of about 160.
I have insurance and it DOES NOT COVER THIS MEDICATION, I PAY 27.99 FOR A 30 DAY SUPPLY AT TARGET!!!
It is not too expensive for those who were wanting to know.
i started taking the phentrmine 37.5 yesterday and i have to make myself eat and i got lots of energy
I love phentermine. I have only been on it 2 weeks and have lost 8lbs. I don't have any side affects, the first day I was jittery and that's it. I sleep like a baby at night, I don't have increased energy but I'm also not sluggish. It does decrease my appetite but my doc said I must eat 3x a day so I make sure I do I exercise 3x a week just a brisk walk or jog around my neighborhood. If I snack its an apple or an orange. I don't count carbs or calories, I just make healthy choices and have not had any fries, chips, or ice cream. Its a lifestyle change I eat rice and pork ..but I'm conscious of my portions. If you want to put in work go for it! If you want a quick fix be prepared to gain it all back once you stop phen. Good Luck!
Today is my first day taking phentermine and I still feel hungry. Is this drug supposed to take a few days to kick in?
I have read a significant portion of these stories that people post. Let me say someting...if you look up Adipex or Phentermine on any website, it is for clinically OBESE people. It says that right in the top portion of these post pages. People who weigh 125lbs and are trying to lose 15 lbs taking diet pills are out of their minds. YOU ARE NOT OBESE! And you are upset that these pills aren't working for you, that amazes me... However, Good luck to all! I just started on them, and believe me, i've seen them work on my friend. Let's see what happens for me...
I started taking Phentermine (37.5 mg) once a day this week. It is Day 4 and I have lost 6 pounds. This is very exciting for me. I already exercise three - four times a week for 30 minutes walking on the treadmill, but I wasn't losing any weight. After my twins were born I couldn't lose the baby weight as easily as my first son, and once I hit 30 it just got harder. Phentermine seems to give me lots of energy and definitely helps reduce my appetite. I would like to lose 40 lbs. My current weight is 203 and my goal weight is160. Wish me luck!
Hello All,
I've been on phentermine 37.5 mg for approx. 1 week now. When I began the pill I was 215lbs. But, before I had the baby I was 187 and before I met my spouse I was 176lbs.So, I really want to get back to that size. The first day of me taking the pill,I did get a rush but I still continued to take the pill. After that first day the side affect went away. But trust me if you do have side affects and they don't go away.....DO NOT CONTINUE TO TAKE THE PILL. If you've been taking the pill and you are not seeing results DISCONTINUE THE PILL, IT MAY NOT BE FOR YOU. I know have lost 5 pounds in a week but have not been working out like I should. I do need to tone up if the weight is coming. Now, I don't take the whole pill because I did contact my doctor and she does not recommend me taking the whole pill, and I do trust her.
So hopefully, I can continue to give you guy positive updates. I have 40lbs to go :)
I have been taking phentermine for 4 days in combo with a lipoinjection and b12 shot and I have lost about 7LBS. I just had my 4th baby 5 weeks ago and was already at my per-pregnancy weight of 134 but still 15-20LBS short of my goal. I'm 5 foot even and prior to kids 115-120 was my normal weight and goal that I haven't been at for 7 years. But i'm positive that the pill and my diet will get me where I want to.
Hi I started on my 1000 calories a day diet with phen. around Jan 20 - I have lost 27 pounds. The first two weeks I lost 10 pds quick now its more like 3 pds every 2 to 3 weeks - I never imagined seeing my old shape again and I wore a bikini for the first time in public since 97 .. :) Go for it .. worth the results.

Glam metal musical Rock Of Ages is to close on the West End after a run of just over two years, it was announced today.
The production, which features the music of Bon Jovi, Poison, Europe and Twisted Sister, will close on November 2 when it will embark on a national tour.
The musical opened at the Shaftesbury Theatre in August 2011 with X Factor star Shayne Ward and comedian Justin Lee Collins in the starring roles. It moved to the smaller Garrick Theatre a year later.
Set on Sunset Strip in the Eighties, the storyline follows a young couple dreaming of rock stardom and battling a developer who wants to bulldoze their favourite venue.
It was poorly received by critics, receiving two stars from the Evening Standard's Fiona Mountford. It was criticised for a score that many perceived as too American and not suitable for UK audiences.
Rock Of Ages fared better on Broadway, where it was nominated for five Tonys and has been playing since 2009.
It has been seen by almost 500,000 people in the West End, including Alice Cooper, Britney Spears and Jeremy Clarkson.Reuse content

My Stalker closer to home
I was watching and the first thing that came to mind was its the boyfriend right away. Then the second thing she was a vunerable young woman because he bulied her into the pics of her naked and then did a sex tape. Most folks would say she was very very stupid. I think she was blind sided by him.
There is still pics out there of her by the way sadly not all have been taken down yet.

Does this "bad" file actually play ok? (i.e. before trying to change the tempo).
Try this..
Select it, in the Project window, then, Audio menu>Bounce Selection. This will create a new file, hopefully, stripped of whatever it was that was making it behave strangely.
The bad file DID actually play ok. But I am unable to try your "Bounce" technique on it because now when I try to open it, it says "Cubase Has Stopped Working" then crashes. Luckily I was able to open it previously and renamed it. So everything is working on the new file.
One last question... I see you guys have "been thanked" meters next to your names. How do you "thank" someone??

"…a fine account of how the countervailing forces of the market and protectionism conflict in combining in a single product…" (Financial Times, 30 July 2005)
"Rarely is a business book so well written that one would gladly stay up all night to finish it..." (CIO: Chief Information Officer Magazine, June 15, 2005)
"Globalization is a hot-button topic that generates strong feelings along with images of boarded-up, independent businesses in America and exploitative sweatshops overseas. But what exactly is it? In The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy, Georgetown University business professor Pietra Rivoli chronicles the round-the-world odyssey of a T-shirt, from Texas cotton-growers to an African used-clothing bazaar, to reveal how the planetary economy really works.
Along the way, we see how entrepreneurial U.S. farmers team with government-sponsored researchersand take advantage of subsidies and trade barriersto dominate world cotton production. Migrant workers from Chinese family farms tell why they regard low-wage jobs in Shanghai sewing factories as golden opportunities. And only in that African used-clothing bazaar do we encounter a truly free market where entrepreneursperhaps including some future tycoons of the 21st centuryutterly rely on pure business skills and instinct. Whether you feel hurt or helped by globalization, you'll certainly understand it better after reading this fascinating account." (Entrepreneur Magazine, May 2005
"...full of memorable characters and vivid scenes..." [and that] "Rivoli excels at making connections." (Time Magazine, March 28, 2005)
"T-shirts may not have changed the world; but this story is a useful account of how free trade and protection certainly have." (Financial Times)
"The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy is an excellent piece of work - a thorough, lucid and (best of all) honest examination of how politics and economics intertwine in the real world." (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
"Engrossing….(Rivoli) goes wherever the t-shirt goes and there are surprises around every corner…full of memorable characters and vivid scenes" (TIME)
"Her nuanced and fair-minded approach is all the more powerful for eschewing the pretense of ideological absolutism, and her telescopic look through a single industry has all the makings of an economics classic." (New York Times)
"…Succeeds admirably… T-shirts may not have changed the world, but this story is a useful account of how free trade and protectionism certainly have." (Financial Times)
"…a fascinating exploration of the history, economics and politics of world trade…The Travels of a T-Shirt is a thought-provoking yarn that exhibits the ugly, the bad and the good of globalization, and points to the unintended positive consequences of the clash between the proponents and opponents of free trade." (Dallas-Fort Worth Star-Telegram)
"…a readable and evenhanded treatment of the complexities of world trade… As Rivoli repeatedly makes clear, there is absolutely nothing free about free trade except the slogan." (San Francisco Chronicle)

Ahhh, the ocean. So calm. So relaxing. So ABOUT TO BE EATEN BY ENORMOUS WHALES AAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!! Thanks goodness these divers have friends to record their near-death experience, so that we can all watch this horrifying video. This is why we stay in the shallow water, where only sharks can get us. Good grief.
Honey Boo Boo made her triumphant return last night. The second season of 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' premiered last night, and we learned a lot.
This video makes us feel happy, because it is so supremely awesome. It also makes us feel sad because we will probably never get a high five from a bumblebee. We can't even get high fives from our "friends."
Typically, a parent will buy (or help pay for) a child's first car. In this video, the son is giving the father his first car for the second time.
If nothing else, this cute video proves one thing-- the characters at Disneyland do NOT break character.
Busted! BBC weather reporter Wendy Hurrell thought the camera was off, when she rolled her eyes and flicked her hair in an annoyed manner. She thought wrong.
Let us consider for a moment the red panda. Known to some (jerks) as the "lesser panda," it is in a class all its own. Okay, maybe not class, but certainly its own taxonomical family.
Feast your eyes on this! This slightly disturbing drawing is the cover of the forthcoming Paula Deen biography from Bluewater Comics.
Regardless of your stance on the Zach Braff Kickstarter debacle, you can't say nothing good came of it. Sure, it may have sent douche chills up your spine to see a millionaire asking for money so he could make exactly the movie he wanted to make, but at the same time, thanks to his awesome Kickstarter rewards, this guy is getting married!
Less than three months since this photo was taken in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, the man being carried in the photograph is walking again, despite losing both of his legs.
A very grateful tip of the hat to the Daily Dot for turning us on to artist James Kerr. Kerr takes works of Italian and Medieval art and animates them into amazing GIFs.

To Be on Top, NYC Needs to Expand Broadband
New York City has aspirations to become the No. 1 technology hub in the country. But if the city wants to edge out Silicon Valley as the home of tech sector start-ups, it needs to boost the bandwidth of a limited resource — its broadband.
"This is something that will affect our competitiveness, regardless of the industry," said Seth Pinsky, president of the New York City Economic Development Corporation. He added that "the technology industry and technology in general is critical to the future of New York City."
Pinsky said the city needs to work on getting broadband infrastructure into individual buildings, wiring every neighborhood in the city, and making sure that broadband access is available to low and middle income residents.
To address these issues — as well as the speed and reliability concerns long bemoaned within the city's growing cadre of tech entrepreneurs — Mayor Michael Bloomberg's office announced a series of initiatives Thursday, such as giving office buildings grades based on their connectivity and hosting a competition for businesses to get their buildings wired based on need. The administration also wants to ease the regulatory process for internet service providers and spur the development of apps to serve people who have mobile phones, but limited computer access.
The state of the city's broadband infrastructure was cited as a top concern in a recent report about New York's technology industry by the Center for an Urban Future, behind only the ability to secure engineering and development talent.
"I would probably estimate half of the companies I know have internet access problems in New York City," said Chris Dixon, an investor in numerous technology companies and the co-founder of Hunch, a recommendation technology company acquired by Ebay late last year. "It's now become the very first thing you look for in office space as a start-up. It's based on whether you've got good internet."
Strong, reliable internet is more important than electricity, said Aaron Harris, CEO of Tutorspree, a New York-based website that pairs students with tutors.
In fact, when the internet at his company went down a few months ago, all work ceased.
"Everyone in the room just sort of stood up and threw their hands in the air and thought, well now what?" said Harris.
Jim Colgan contributed reporting.

Laser Hair Removal Bikini Line
Bikini laser hair removal is gaining popularity among the women. Once a need but nowadays the most popular fashion of today is the bikini line hair removal. Removing bikini line hair is not a new practice. Today's woman is spending a lot to be in fashion by modern standards but the hindrance in the way is unwanted bikini line hairs. Bikini laser hair removal is a promising solution for this problem.
Bikini hair removal history
In the past, some women used to remove bikini line hairs because these were considered ugly and can also cause certain diseases of genital and urinary tract. In remote past they were in fashion in the Persian era and the Babylonian civilization but in the 19th century the disease harboring nature of pubic hairs became evident and in the 20th century a mass campaign was launched against it. A campaign was launched to get the women proper knowledge of personal hygiene, cleanliness and role of underarm hairs and bikini hairs in disease process. As a result more women became inclined towards bikini hair removal.
Bikini hair removal a fashion
The women of today is far more concerned about her looks. The ever growing advertisement industry and showbiz glamour is the catalyst. An average woman is spending lot more on designing of her outfit and may spend up to 300$ on bikini or swimming costume. But if she is unable to unleash herself on a beach or a pool due to a bunch of mean looking bikini hairs which can totally spoil her looks. Then she is spending all her money on designing just for nothing. Bikini laser hair removal is answer to all her worries.
Old methods of bikini hair removal
The old methods of bikini hair removal are the same as the hair removal methods for other parts of body like shaving, depilation, waxing, tweezing etc. These methods are not only temporary but also very tedious and messy. These are also sometimes associated with the some types of skin reaction. These are being practiced a lot but with the increasing use of lasers they are losing their value.
Bikini laser hair removal
Its a permanent type of solution to your problems. In 6-8 sessions you can achieve a hair free bikini line and these sessions spaced over a month at least. With each laser treatment the density of hair A trained physician in laser hair removal procedure performs this procedure. It is a safe procedure but rarely can have some side-effects, depending upon the condition of the client. The cost of this procedure is a little higher than the other methods in the market but it is quick, pain less and permanent.

TSP on lead paint
Is it safe to use TSP to wash down a wall that is (possibly) lead paint? I wouldn't use TSP, except the existing paint is quite glossy and I've had trouble getting new paint to adhere to it in the past.
It is actually a recommended way of prepping , because it is wet and doesn't cause dust. Toss the waste water down the toilet.
For extra good prep you can even wet sand with the tsp.
Wear gloves and use precaution with TSP hitting other surfaces.
You will be fine. Most of the stuff is faux TSP now anyhow.
TSP + Lead Based Paint = Lead Phosphate, which is a carcinogen.
So is Tar- but I don't eat the road. Dean, rather than scare, how about real info on how to deal???!!
first off check to see if it is lead paint you can get lead test swabs at paint stores ,8 for about 20 bucks .i think i seen test swabs at the big boxes 2 for about 8 bucks . of course how the heck do i know if your wall has lead paint. hey i'm sitting in my big chair totally wiped out from painting all day:huh:.but i can tell you i have painted many homes from the early fifties and sixties that did not have lead paint on the walls . now trim is another story . .even if their is its probably covered over wit coats of non lead paint but again who knows.just test it the directions are easy and they have demos on you tube .ok how i would do it is spot clean any grime then a coat of zinsser oil base cover stain bonding primer .then top coat your favorite latex paint
Most paint stores sell lead test kits. I think it wise to find out for sure if you are dealing with leaded paint rather than be put off by a possibility. TSP substitute cleaner will de-grease and de-gloss a surface so that you can use a high-quality adhesion promoting primer and acrylic finish.

A witness tells Newsradio 1110 KFAB the bicyclist was northbound on 42nd Street and was struck as the driver of the SUV pulled away from the stop sign.
"I seen her pull off from the stop sign, but you know if she would have waited a few more seconds and looked to her right, it could have been prevented. But it was an accident still the same," says Tommy Vasser.
Vasser says the bicyclist suffered a leg injury and was taken to Nebraska Medical Center.

What is SI T-Amp DF (damping factor)?
What is DF for t-amp so I can build BSC -->http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showt...hreadid=121807
If you have one, why you don't measure it ? It shouldn't be too hard. You only need signal generator (PC), resistor, and voltmeter (oscilloscope). With voltmeter measurement won't be as accurate as with oscilloscope, but will give good enough estimation of DF.

UPDATE!! What Will My Husband Make Me For Dinner? [POLL]
Yesterday, I posted this story and poll asking what my husband would make for our Valentine's Day dinner! And y'all guessed right!
Here was the story from yesterday –
My husband and I don't celebrate Valentine's Day too much, but we do like to do something. I got him a small gift and he's making dinner for me tonight! Now, my husband is the best cook I know, so I know dinner will be fabulous, but I have no idea what we're having! It's a surprise!
So, I'm putting it to a vote! What will my husband make me tonight for our Valentine's Day dinner?
My favorite meal that he makes is his linguine and clams, but we just had that last week…. Or maybe he'll make me Osso Bucco, that's one of my favorite meals ever…
I have no idea what he's going to make!
Y'all guessed Osso Bucco and that's exactly what he made! And it was delicious!! He also made mashed potatoes (one of my favorites) and peas (another one of my favorites!!). He's a thoughtful fella!

Connect Windows Powershell to Office 365
Found the need for this today as we're switching over to Office 365 and I had to use the power shell to create a Shared Mailbox that multiple people can access. Step 1 was connecting the powershell to Office 365 as show below.
"Connect Windows PowerShell on your local computer to the cloud-based service
- Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Windows PowerShell > Windows PowerShell.
- Run the following command:
- In the Windows PowerShell Credential Request window that opens, type the credentials of an account in your cloud-based organization. When you are finished, click OK.
- Run the following command:
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Note The AllowRedirection parameter enables cloud-based organizations in datacenters all over the world to connect Windows PowerShell to the cloud-based service by using the same URL.
- Run the following command:
A progress indicator appears that shows the importing of commands used in the cloud-based service into the client-side session of your local computer. When this process is complete, you can run these commands.
Disconnect Windows PowerShell from the cloud-based service
When you're finished using the server-side session, always disconnect Windows PowerShell by running the following command:
Remove-PSSession <session variable>
For example, to disconnect from the server-side session that is defined by the $Session variable, run the following command:
Remove-PSSession $Session
Important If you close the Windows PowerShell window without disconnecting from the server-side session, your connection will remain open for 15 minutes. Your account can only have three connections to the server-side session at one time."

4L60E Yoke Leak?
My beloved 94' Chevy C1500 5.7L SWB burned out its fuel pump 5months ago so I parked it in my storage unit for that period of time. After I let it sit for 2weeks I noticed ATF under the trans and against the wall of the storage unit. Not a lot of fluid, but I know that shouldn't be there. I assumed after past experience with buddies trucks it was the tail-shaft seal. Boy was I wrong.
Yesterday I spent $550+ on parts to get it tuned up and running back like it should, got a new fuel sender and pump and installed it in the tank and reinstalled the tank back under the truck. After that I turned my attention to the leak on the transmission. During inspection I noticed the tail-shaft seal was dry...but the Yoke coming out of the tail-shaft was damp and had fluid about ready to drip.
So my questions were could a Yoke leak...after searching here I've found they can.
Does anyone have any input and or a picture on what needs to be replaced to stop this leak? Can I just drop and slide out the driveshaft to get to these items to be replaced? Or does the tailshaft have to come off? Is special tools required?
One thing I know is it sounds this o-ring in here is old and just gave out.

Wonderful product, I have only been using a few weeks and brought it to help think clearer however, I have noticed that my skin has cleared up and is looking really soft and even tonned. I haven't noticed any nasty fish burps either.
The pills are massive, but easy to swallow.

I made some buddies with a group of folks who run an online literary/arts magazine and a print lit journal called Monarch. I'm writing a zine review column for them and I'm super excited about it…Continue
Started Apr 17, 2014
So I made a goal of reading 200 zines this year! That's only 17 a month. Anyone else down? C'mon let's do it, that way we can feel justified in calling each other names in all the other forums!Here's…Continue
Started this discussion. Last reply by each and every day zines Oct 4, 2011.
yeah i got the bad smut message...it's cool to call there
i don't have a cell phone but luckily the long haul has free long distance. i tried to call you tonite but i must've wrote the number down wrong. i'll try again
i staff the Long Haul on thursdays currently and it's a decent place for zine reading. The first and third thursday the radio station has a meeting at 7/730 pm. Probably the other time LH is booked is tuesday from 7-9with the anarchist study group.
i didn't call you right away but i did ask if it could maybe also happen in SF at Thrillhouse Records and w/out hearing any details Fred said yes. I know they plant to do construction this year and if you're looking for something else:
SF the old bookstore(i forgot their name) on 16/Valencia is now a collective on 24th st. Also Modern Times books is on 24th they sell zines and are really cool. Though they are barely making it
Needles and Pens is still on 16th st. a cool place and all about the zines
And why not try City Lights Books. The zine buyer Layla used to run MR&R so she may try to pull some solidarity for a punk zine author
There's a place like Long Haul on the cusp of West Oakland that WAS called the Holdout. They seem all about Decolonizing things these days which partially means challenging white people. That's the impression i get anyway-they have a decent location and had drawing power in the past.
Book Zoo,Rock Paper Scissors, Pegasus and Nabolom Bakery all come to mind for the East Bay as well. I'll give you a call sunday but things will be a little hectic(working on a show in the later afternoon)
I hope you're excited

COLLEGE PARK, MD. (September 15, 1973) -- In reality, West Virginia's season-opening game at Maryland was one that neither team should have won.
|Danny Buggs' 69-yard punt return stunned Maryland in College Park. (WVU Sports Communications)
For the most part, it was a contest that possessed the excitement of a Saturday evening game of bingo.
It had more defense than the Normandy invasion, more goofups than a kindergarten dance recital, and just enough suspense to keep you awake.
Certainly it wasn't supposed to be a game for the ages. Ten of Maryland's 13 points were the direct result of West Virginia mistakes, and in the case of the Terrapins' only touchdown, it took them three tries to get it in from the one.
West Virginia was breaking in a new quarterback in Ade Dillon, and the Appleton, Wis., native had his troubles. Midway through the third quarter Dillon had completed just seven-of-15 passes for 95 yards.
He had thrown short, under and behind receivers most of the afternoon. When he wasn't missing open targets, he bobbled five handoffs that resulted in four fumbles.
Maryland could do little better. It had managed just 104 yards in a scoreless first half that West Virginia led 6-0 on two field goals by Frank Nestor.
Two three-pointers by Steve Mike-Mayer tied the score 6-6 midway through the third quarter.
Then Maryland's big break came early in the fourth quarter when a bad snap sailed over punter Chuck Brooks' head and was recovered at the West Virginia goal line. After two quarterback sneaks, Terrapin backup tailback Louis Carter jumped over the pile for the score.
On West Virginia's first play after the touchdown, Dillon was looking to get the ball to All-America flanker Danny Buggs over the middle. Out of nowhere Dwayne Woods stepped in front of the pass, nabbed the ball, and raced 75 yards for a touchdown. A fluke catch and the game was tied at 13!
Maryland, under second-year coach Jerry Claiborne, planned to eat the clock and move into field goal position to win the game. This conservative strategy would serve Claiborne well at Maryland. His teams won 77 games in a span of 10 years from 1972-81.
Claiborne took Maryland to six straight bowl games between 1973-78 including a Peach Bowl berth against Georgia later that year. His tactics were straight from the book.
With just 5:16 left on the clock, the coach called four straight running plays and advanced the football to the 30. Maryland got to the 45 before three straight losses put the football back to the 29.
Faced with a fourth-and-26 with 36 seconds left on the clock, Claiborne had no choice but to punt the football back to West Virginia.
Standing 40 yards down field was Danny Buggs. Up to that point he had done next to nothing. He was nailed for an eight-yard loss on a flanker reverse and managed just one catch for 20 yards. Buggs' teammate intercepted his other opportunity and turned that into a 75-yard TD in the third quarter.
Despite the lackluster game, there was the very real chance that Buggs could explode.
After all, as a sophomore, the Atlanta, Ga., native averaged 20 yards every time he touched the football. One in every five times he scored a touchdown -- whether on a pass, a flanker reverse, a kick or a punt.
The creative Bobby Bowden kept coming up with new ways to get the football into Buggs' hands.
After scoring on a long flanker reverse against Syracuse in 1972, Orange coach Ben Schwartzwalder called Buggs "the most spectacular sophomore I've ever coached against."
He was also a world class sprinter who could cover sixty yards in a scant six seconds. That was certainly much less than the 36 seconds showing on the clock.
Running through Bowden's mind was how to get the football into a reasonable spot for a field goal attempt. "Maybe Buggs can get the ball past midfield and we can get into Nestor's range to kick it," Bowden must have thought.
Punter Phil Wagenhein's boot took Buggs back to the 31 with six redshirted Terps barreling down on him. Buggs set sail to his left, was boxed in after a couple of steps and retreated to his right. After the 180-degree turn, he found an alley and zipped up the right sideline like lightning!
Danny swerved back to the middle of the field and was gone. He was still distancing himself from Maryland defenders when he crossed the goal line 69 yards later. The return spanned 85 yards (including the distance he gave way) and took 24 seconds to complete.
West Virginia won the game, 20-13.
"The team thinks they've got you under cover, then you break it on them," said Buggs later.
Buggs got his one chance and he did what all great players do -- he won the game.
"He's pure and simple a game-breaker," said Bowden. "At any time, from any place on the field he can score. You can plot and scheme, but there's no way you can prepare a team to stop an individual like that."
Said Maryland's shell-shocked Claiborne: "He is just as good as we were afraid he would be."
Buggs was at least good enough to make an otherwise so-so game one for the ages.

- - If you can ride on the East Coast you can Ride anywhere... (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/northeast-us/51511-if-you-can-ride-east-coast.html)
If you can ride on the East Coast you can Ride anywhere...
If you can ride on the East Coast you can Ride anywhere... Is this true? I have only ridden on the East Coast and only experienced about one tiny foot of powder in VT. I am trying to get good so I can take a trip to either Tahoe or a place like Whistler. I know you all have the answers.
This year I decided to get a local season pass to a PA resort. I know it will be mostly ice. But I figured more riding is better than a few good trips to VT.
Don't worry bro we have ice too
thank man but I am beginning to feel like everyone is saying this because we are stuck here and it kinda makes us feel better about ice skateboarding...I mean snowboarding.
I hope to make a trip out west soon. I think I just need to experience it.
I grew up in Vermont. Smuggs, Stowe, Jay, and Bolton where my places. I did a few trips to NH (Loon), Canada (Mt. St. Louie, Horseshoe) and CO (Vail, Brek, and Copper).
Later in life I lived in Oregon and rode Mt. Hood. That was my first taste of deeper snow on a regular basis.
Now, I ride Kirkwood in Tahoe and I've never seen so much snow (not counting last year. ugh.).
** they say they have ice out here but they really mean hard packed snow. ;) **
From all of this experience I can tell you that my ice-coast heritage only taught me that falling hurts and not to do that. :D That's it. I'm just slightly more confident on shitty snow conditions than others who grew up here.
However, skill overcomes any sort of perceived advantage in the end.
I grew up in the east, moved to the west and can hold my own out here. Mountains are more rugged though and things come out to bite you quick. Take less chances than you do in the well manicured east. Oh and a true powder day will kick your ass at first. Great workout but...
Thanks for the info all! I do love Vermont. In fact my wife and family want to move there! I learned how to snowboard in Vermont. I live in the NJ/PA area so it isn't easy getting up there. The closest I can get within a 4 hour drive is Belleayre /Hunter/Windham. Otherwise I am stuck with my local hills, Blue, Camelback, Mountain Creek and so on. But I guess time on a mountain is better than no time at all. Now all I have to do is pray for my local weather man to sound like this guy. AccuWeather.com Snowpocalypse Now! Meteorologist Freakout - YouTube
I have to disagree with that notion that if you can ride on the east coast you can ride anywhere. I started out in VT and learned here for my first year. My skills weren't really progressing until I took a trip out to Tahoe and got a taste of that powder. I did a few days there and my skills drastically went up more in a week there than months on the east coast.
For me it was the confidence you get when falling in soft snow over falling on hard, packed east coast ice. After falling on that east coast ice so much I focused my attention on riding cautiously and avoiding falls. I'm in my mid 30's and I'm pretty big. When I fall it effen hurts. But once you hit the West coast powder and falling doesn't hurt as much, you take a lot more risks and push yourself.
I remember when I got back from my Tahoe trip I had so much confidence that I took a trip to Hunter with my buddies to show off my skills. I was doing great up until I took a nasty fall when I caught an edge and I quickly realized I wasn't in the West coast anymore.
I live in the east and ride once a year in the Canadian West.
So does riding in the East somehow make up for not being able to ride in the West?
In a word: no.
Yes we have ice and if we want to ride, then we have to ride ice. Do you learn fine edge control? yes. Do learning fine edge control make a difference? Yes, but nowhere near enough to make up the gap. There's just too much in the West that Easterners just don't get to experience: huge drops, deep powder, gnarly chutes, etc.
A westerner can come here and ride our ice (hating every second of it), but an Easterner is in for a learning curve on their first time on a real mountain in bottomless powder.
Well put!! Thanks for the great post you two!

Now this is a rare beast - back in the Falklands/Northern Ireland era the SAS needed a more compact, hard hitting L1a1 - hence the snub nose - these were custom made to order, some with shortened plastic, some with a FAL folding stock conversion - this one has the shorter barrel with just the eliminator poking out, carry handle removed and a whopper of a 30 round mag! Very rare item, new spec, comes with correct UK deactivation certificate for the shorter barrel length.
Here at real-gun.com we try to get things right first time - but, being a bit crap sometimes, we do screw things up - if in any doubt please contact us - if we get a price wrong or are out of stock we will contact you immediately - many thanks.
We list details of our current stock by batch - due to our high turnover of the most popular models - so the images and descriptions fit that model, though there may be slight variations in stock grain/colour and metal condition - please bare in mind that some of the de-ac guns are almost 100 years old!
Real-gun.com cannot sell deactivated guns to anyone under the age of 18. Though are not required to store this in a gun safe it is advised you store them in you dwelling, preferably in a locked cupboard. When transporting de-acs please keep them in out of site, preferably in a gun bag. Be sensible - don`t mount a .50 cal on the roof of your Jeep and take a drive - its fine on private land at shows but given the current climate please do not stress our Police any more than they currently are!

Walter Mazzarri Left Napoli At Just The Wrong Time
Finishing third in 2010/11, second a year ago becoming a fixture in the Champions League meant that things were looking rosy for Napoli this summer as they looked to progress their squad forward to become genuine Scudetto challengers.
The boat was rocked a little by Paris Saint-Germain swooping to pluck talismanic Uruguayan forward Edinson Cavani. The Partenopei were left to dust themselves down with the proceeds of a record €64 million transfer fee for their troubles, though the saga rumbled on longer than would have been wanted as a result of the striker's participation in the Confederations Cup.
President Aurelio De Laurentiis insisted that money would be reinvested in the squad, and with the addition of funds from another participation in the Champions League, ensured that Napoli looked a safe bet to remain a formidable force in an otherwise cash-strapped Serie A.
Replacing the Uruguayan was always going to be a difficult task, but picking out targets with a budget as large as De Laurentiis allowed would make the reshaping job a lot easier than it might have been; the opposite of Roma, who paid out noticeably less for their transfers than they recouped in sales.
With such a large fee having been secured for Cavani, the main business done by the Azzurri would see a number of new players coming in – adding to a squad who had already proved themselves more than capable of thriving in Serie A.
All in all, Napoli looked an appealing proposition at the end of last season for players, fans and coaches alike. Unless you were a long-haired South American striker, Naples was the place to be.
It was from that position that Walter Mazzarri, who had coached his counter-attacking philosophy at the Stadio San Paolo for four seasons, decided to leave the club for Inter, who finished ninth. It was a decision that left people wondering if he had jumped ship at precisely the wrong time.
On the face of it, moving to a club who won the European Cup only three seasons ago and has a huge fanbase, around not just Italy but the world, was a sensible move.
No matter that they were coming off a low season, with coaching experiment Andrea Stramaccioni leaving the club without European football for the first time since 1999. It is as if Inter still seem to be suffering the hangover after their Champions League victory, as if the departure of Jose Mourinho left them without direction and their aging squad has been unable to adequately rage against the dying of the light.
Under Stramaccioni, Inter were often criticised of playing with a small club's style, allowing opponents to pressurise them, and try to hit out on the counter-attack – a tactic employed to great success by Mourinho, but reliant on players who are not just quick with their feet, but their minds, too; players who looked in short supply last season.
That said, Mazzarri, himself an exponent of counter-attacking football, has managed to guide Inter well from the start of the season, and has seen their form impress despite shortages in the squad. Crucially, after the trouncing of Sassuolo, he is able to welcome back Diego Milito after a serious injury.
Of course, the Argentinian scored on his return, though that was perhaps more due to the Neroverde's fragility than a confirmation that 'Diegol' can be relied on as back to his best. Either way, having such an influential player back in the Nerazzurri fold can only help the new coach; as the cliché has it, he will be like a new signing for the club.
The Biscione's start has been surprising in a number of ways.
The players Mazzarri brought into the club weren't necessarily expected to shine from the start; Mauro Icardi, Ishak Belfodil and Saphir Taider are all young, but all dynamic enough to suggest that Inter will be eventually attempting to re-create Napoli's style, but as it turns out only Taider has made an impact on the first team thus far.
The new coach arrived fairly early into Inter's rebuilding process. There are a few players at their peak in the team, in Yuto Nagatomo and Fredy Guarin, and a few players who are yet to achieve their best, like Andrea Ranocchia and Juan Jesus.
Then again, with Esteban Cambiasso at 33 and Rodrigo Palacio, at 31, seemingly both mainstays in his team, there is still plenty to do in this regard, although with so many talented younger players waiting in the wings, this may well end up being a transitional season for Inter.
What has certainly happened is that the instant pick-me-up of the new coach has ignited a fire in Inter's belly and the squad, both young and old, are responding well. It should come as no surprise after Mazzarri stated his intention to make 'Inter competitive again as soon as possible'.
Players who seemed out of place last season have thrived this year in an unusual 3-5-1-1 formation, with Ricky Alvarez and Rodrigo Palacio looking as threatening as they ever have in blue and black shirts and veteran signing Hugo Campagnaro (brought in from Mazzari's former club) marshalling the defence wonderfully.
The results have been instant, and dramatic. Following a well-deserved draw in the Derby del'Italia with Inter's biggest ever away win should only serve to indicate that this Nerazzurri side aren't a flash in the pan and being able to perform so well while their city rivals are floundering must make it all the sweeter for Interisti.
Despite their start to the season, none of Inter's recent successes on the field come anything like matching the atmosphere in Naples. The club's first win at AC Milan in 27 years came shortly after a glorious night against last season's European Cup finalists Borussia Dortmund. The team's form, particularly that of Lorenzo Insigne and Marek Hamsik, has been captivating.
Their former coach must be aware the status Neapolitans afford their heroes, and those who bring footballing success to the city are coveted like no others – Marek Hamsik stated that players "are like divinities to fans". Although part of Italy, Naples can feel like a city apart.
It is unlikely that Diego Maradona would have suggested that his adopted city's fans should cheer for him and against their country, as he did in the World Cup of 1990, anywhere else. Walking round Naples in the aftermath of Italy's 2006 World Cup victory, there was far more graffiti sprayed on walls praising the efforts of Fabio Cannavaro as 'Minister of Defence', than the team as a whole.
That chance of a lasting legacy with a club, and a city, that would remember him has been passed up by Walter Mazzarri by moving to Inter this summer. To see Rafael Benitez parachute in and take his team forward with the addition of a few players from his native Spain must be difficult for the 51-year-old, particularly knowing that his own project is still so far from completion even if it has got off, as he said 'on the right foot'.
In truth, if he left Napoli to win things, Mazzarri will probably have a longer wait at his new club than he would with his old.
The potential that Inter have should they become successful again, however, outreaches that of Napoli, whose successful periods in the past have been explosive, but brief. Inter lay claim to the second biggest fanbase in Italy, and eighth biggest in Europe. Even acknowledging that those figures may be exaggerated, there are far more Inter fans than those of the Partenopei.
Long-term success in Italy has, historically, only been possible in Milan and Turin. As such, taking a job with Inter is a safer bet than staying with Napoli, even if the balance of power is tipped heavily in the Azzurri's favour at the current time.
It might well turn out that Walter Mazzarri left the Partenopei just before his groundwork reaped the reward of silverware. It would be a shame for him if it turned out to be so, but if to start again with a new club and a new project, it makes sense to do so as soon as possible. Additionally, chances to manage Italy's big clubs don't come around too often, so one must take them when they do.
For now, with Inter doing so well, leaving Napoli looks to be an understandable choice. There may, however, be some envious looks down the country from the San Siro's dugouts should the Nerazzurri falter during the season.

Actually, lsattr isn't printing that information right now. ('i' is the immutable flag.) We could print this information, but arguably users never need to know whether or not a directory is hashed or not, since it has no visible differences in the behaviour (just in the performance). I could go either way on this one, since I know that users might be interested. However, we don't have a way of authoratiative determining that a symlink is a "fast" symlink either, which is a similar "performance-only" feature. You can check to see if the size is < 60 bytes, yes, but in the case of htree directories, if the directory is > 3 blocks and was created on a htree directory system, it will be a hashed directory. BTW, if you're concerned about older directories not being hashed when converting over to using htree directories, version 1.28 of e2fsck will have a new flag, -D, which will optimize all directories. If the filesystem has enabled htree indexing, it will convert (or re-index) the directories that are larger than 3 blocks to be indexed-hash trees. If the filesystem has not enabled htree indexing, this flag will "compress" directories, by recopying them to eliminate unused space in the directories. > e2fsprogs.sf.net - version 1.28 is very recent and has support for > this flag. I'm not sure whether the patch you have has a supported > hash function though... This was in flux up to a week ago or so. 1.28 is not fully released yet. The latest 1.28-WIP (work in progress) was released a week or ago, and so e2fsprogs is currently in bug-fix-only mode. I am looking for testers for 1.28-WIP-0817, since I want to make sure we shake out the most embarassing bugs before 1.28 goes final. As far as the hash function is concerned, as long as it's Christopher Li's port of the htree patches to 2.4, which is still using Daniel Phillips "dx_hack_hash", you'll be fine. If the patch you have is based off of the CVS "features" branch which uses a half-MD4 hash, it won't be compatible. Fortunately, as far as I know the CVS "features" branch never escaped as a stand-alone patch, so I'm pretty sure you'll be all right. > Hopefully soon.

The e2fsck/htree support is done, modulo bug fixing. There are some test cases that I still want to add into the e2fsck regression test suite, and that may turn up some bugs, but I'm pretty confident about the e2fsck htree support at this point. Being able to convert arbitrary large directories to use htree was the last major piece of work. On the kernel side, the major tasks that need to be done are: * Support for multiple hash functions, and using the superblock field for the default hash function for new directories. (Andreas, you were working on code for that, right? Is that ready for release yet?) * Adding support for the modified half-MD4 hash which is endian independent, and the TEA hash, which should be the preferred hash going forward. * Port to 2.5 On the userland side, there's one minor change which still needs to be done, and that's mke2fs/tune2fs support for enabling the htree support so that you don't have to use debugfs to turn on the feature flag. The reason why I haven't done this yet is this raises the ugly question of how the default hash field in the superblock should be filled in, and until we have canonical kernel patch which supports the new hash functions, I didn't want to release code that made this decision in either direction. I really don't want to encourage people to use the hack hash, since it is significantly worse at spreading files, and right now, the main patch folks are likely to use only support that old legacy dx_hack_hash. - Ted
