text: ok guys, i have a dilemma. my friend has decided to take up surfing, he has NEVER tried it before and he is 29 years old. i took him out when it was flat so he could get the feel of paddling, standing up in the whitewash etc... but he CANNOT seem to stay on the board, he cant even sit on it w/o it shooting out from underneath him. i tried giving him tips like, dont lay so far back on the board when paddling, cup your hands, try scooching up on the board and dont let the nose be to far in the air but he cant seem to get it. does anyone have any tips for him? he really wants to get into the sport but i dont seem to have that much patience for teaching.

Drew Dornan and Cody Whiler emerge from the shower ready for a hot, sweaty fuck. Dornan feasts on Whiler's thick cock while his own grows in (great) length, hands free. Dornan stands to stretch, and to give Whiler a chance at his glorious rod and after a brief suck, he dives into Dornan's ass. Dornan squats over Whiler, dipping his stick and dropping his nuts into Whiler's commendable mouth while Whiler jams a finger up his partner's ass. Dornan's ready for more than a finger and his eyes roll back into his head as he sits on Whiler's throbbing cock. Whiler gets a taste of his own medicine when Dornan flips him over for a little flop. Whiler shoots an amazing load, hitting his own face as Dornan fucks the cum out of him.

I was wired into my router via ethernet to configure it and when i put the usual 192.168.1.1 in, i was entering user name and password and it wouldn;t login even though it was correct, when i looked at the device name at the top it was a different model router so i googled it and found it to be a belkin.
I was baffled for a while till i discovered that my wireless card had connected to an open network automaticly and this gave me the option to log on to the router via remote managment using default login . I couldn't belive that it would be this wide open out of the box
I attempted to log on as i was just curious if it really was wide open. Using the info on the router config which showed connected devices/sites visited etc i was able to identify the user as the device name was set as "first name last name's PC"
I managed to track down who it was and have informed them how wide open it was and helped them set up basic security and certanly disable remote login as default. I also told them that there were several others looged onto to their network and they were quite suprised and mentioned how it did randomly go really slow.
This was a bit of a sensitive subject in terms of connecting to an unowned network etc and its not something i make a habbit of i literally stumbled across it by accident and used it for a good cause so i hope people won't jump on me for this. All the stuff i practice, i do on my own network controlled for learning purposes
i just wanted to share this experience and how open this kit was by default and see if anybody had heard of this with belkin kit.

i bought Q-tech Netq-1002 Usb Wireless Adapter, this produxt supports many OS, included Linux. I installed it on Windows 7 and its working great, but i cannot install it on Backtrack 5 r3 x64 arch. Backtrack is up to date and installed in my laptops harddisk. I followed the steps from the Linux manual, it was included with the driver(rtl8187) cd, but still backtrack couldnt recognize it. I tried to find installation guide browsing the web, but nothing. Its more powerfull than my laptops wifi card and i would love to add it on Backtrack.
If anyone has instructions/tips i will love to hear them, thank you.

Secrets to slim
This time of year, who wants to count calories or go on a diet? But you can keep your weight steady or even drop a few pounds without any special effort. Yes, really.
We've tapped some of the nation's top health and fitness gurus (plus real women who have done it) for advice on getting slim effortlessly. Read on to learn their secrets

Push yourself (just a little)
"If you ride the bus, walk part of the route. If you walk, walk faster. If you run, run farther. These small tweaks will raise your body's metabolic rate, and you'll see a few pounds drop off in a few months without changing anything else!"
Marcus Eave, personal trainer for Technogym

Think string cheese
"Americans eat, on average, around 30 pounds of cheese a year! You can slash hundreds of calories a week if you stop eating whole cheese, which is high in saturated fat and sodium, and reach for low- or no-fat varieties or tofu to get your calcium."
Samantha Heller, RD, author of Get Smart: Samantha Heller's Nutrition Prescription for Boosting Brain Power and Optimizing Total Body Health
Photo: Corbis
Power up your yogurt
"Eat Magical Breakfast Cream—combine 2 tablespoons finely ground zero-sugar cereal (such as Post Shredded Wheat Cereal), 2 teaspoons chopped walnuts, 4 tablespoons whole or 2% low-fat yogurt, 1 tablespoon organic lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1 teaspoon flaxseed oil—for five mornings in a row, plus fish, poultry, or eggs and tons of veggies for lunch and dinner. Not only will you feel better, but you will shed up to 3 to 5 pounds in a week, while giving your body necessary nutrients and boosting your energy level."
Mireille Guiliano, author of The French Women Don't Get Fat Cookbook

Catch some z's
"Sleep at least 7 hours a night to help regulate the hunger hormone, ghrelin. Researchers at the University of Chicago found that dieters who spent eight and a half hours in bed lost 55% more body fat than dieters who got five and a half hours of shut-eye. The more sleep you get, the less hungry you'll be, and the more likely you are to lose weight."
James Beckerman, MD, author of The Flex Diet

Be careful with your dough
"Lose the deli breakfast bagel and switch to a 100-calorie English muffin. You'll save 220 calories per day (1,540 per week!) and drop about a pound in two weeks, or about 5 pounds in 10 weeks."
Keri Gans, RD, author of The Small Change Diet
Photo: Corbis
Get it on
"This might be TMI, but I lost 5 pounds by having sex with my hubby four times in one week. I'm not talking quickies either; each session was about an hour long. Best workouts ever."
Tracy Reid, 37, Houston
Photo: Corbis
Downsize the dairy
"I recently lost 7 pounds in three weeks by ditching most dairy from my diet. Of course, I couldn't totally give up cheese, so I just limit it to weekends or special occasions. No more late-night grilled cheeses for me!"
Michelle Buffardi, 31, New York City
Photo: Corbis
Go (a bit) vegan
"I started eating one veggies-only meal each day, and after three weeks, I noticed that my clothes fit better."
Candice Townsend, 39, Washington, D.C.

Grab a mini
"When I'm in the mood for a little fast-food 'cheat,' I order the kids meal, saving myself around 570 calories. The portions are reasonable, and the sides are healthier."
Laura Schmieg, 38, St. Louis Park, Minn.

Take a stand
"When I want to lose an inch around my waist fast, I stay on my feet. I walk home from work, stand up while watching TV, and go for a stroll at lunch."
Naomi Fink, 29, New York City

Your recently used applications should automatically show up in the third set of application tiles. If they are not showing up you can change the settings to keep track of recently opened programs.
To enable recently used programs from the Windows 8 interface click on Desktop. Right-click on a blank area of the taskbar on the bottom of the screen and click Properties. Click on the Jump Lists tab and make sure there is a check mark in the "Store recently opened programs" box and click Apply then click OK.

Get Ready to Have a Rockin' Summer With H&M and Beyonce!
Beyonce and H&M are teaming up for the retailer's summer campaign for fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun. Yowza!
-Lucia Peters
And the newest face of H&M is… Beyonce!
H&M announced today that they have teamed up with the singer for their summer campaign. Bey will appear in television and print ads announcing her as "Beyonce as Mrs. Carter in H&M" (a nod to her Mrs. Carter Show world tour, which kicks off on April 15) and featuring swimwear and other beachy piece. Also included is a tie-dye bikini from the 2012 H&M for Water collection, which donates 25 percent of sales to the H&M for WaterAid initiative. The clothing will hit H&M stores worldwide as well as the retailer's website in May.
Said H&M's Head of Design, Ann-Sofie Johansson, "In the campaign Beyonce is wearing key pieces from H&M you need for life in the sun this summer. There's the perfect bodycon dress, as well as a flowing sun dress that makes a real statement. And of course there are the bikinis, especially the fringed bikini. What makes these pieces even more special is that Beyonce herself had input into the design, and they are full of her own personal style." Style tips from Beyonce? We'll take it!
Read Designer Cynthia Rowley Talks Inspirations, A-List Clients + Her Fab New Contest
Apparently the idea behind the campaign, which was shot in Massau in the Bahamas (jealous yet?), is that women "can be all things: Strong, vulnerable, sensual, maternal, fun, [and] flirtatious." Noted H&M Creative Director Donald Schneiber, "H&M's summer campaign starring Beyonce is an epic fantasy, with glamour, drama, and also a sense of paradise. It was amazing to watch her on the shoot make it all look effortless—a quality that makes her such an icon for women around the world. The campaign is the essence of Beyonce, and also the essence of H&M this summer."
For her part, Bey has "always liked H&M's focus on fun, affordable fashion." She continued, "I really love the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements—fire, water, earth, and wind. It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial."
We don't know about you, but we can't wait until the campaign drops. Eye candy, much?

Madonna splits with 25-year-old boyfriend Brahim Zaibat
Listen to Madonna on iHeartRadio
The Queen of Pop is reportedly single again. Madonna and her boyfriend of three years, 25-year-old Brahim Zaibat, have parted ways.
The superstar's rep has confirmed the split to GossipCop.com, but declined to comment on why the two decided to call it quits. Zaibat worked as a backup dancer on Madonna's 2012 "MDNA" tour, a gig he got after first meeting the star while performing with her daughter Lourdes at an event in 2010.
A source tells "Us Weekly" that the relationship simply "ran its course" and that the couple "barely saw each other."
The news is leading to speculation about where Madonna's heart is heading next. The breakup comes weeks after the singer reunited with her ex-husband Sean Penn for a humanitarian trip to Haiti. Madonna and Penn ended their four-year marriage back in 1987.

Myth or fact
Pica as I believe medical practitioner calls it or the unreasonable craving of undesirable food during pregnancy.
Pica is a pattern of eating non-food materials (such as dirt or paper)as defined in Google But I thought it was this craving for something maybe food or something else by a pregnant woman.
Maybe a myth but with my first baby, I really crave to eat green mango which I dip in vinegar with a small amount of sugar Strange huh.. but true and I feel contented and better and happy after eating.
Why is that? share what weird things you have done and feel during your pregnant stage. sometimes we get weird and strange. Does this phenomenon true to all?
11th May 2012 10:15 PM #2
Yes Pica is a known type of craving that occurs during pregnancy. You can read more about Pica in this interesting thread.
Sometimes pregnant women crave very unusual tastes during pregnancy (which are not necessarily food or safe to eat). This is believed to be due to mineral deficiencies - so ensuring you eat a balanced diet and take any necessary mineral supplements can reduce/ get rid of the Pica.
Best wishes,

In the virtual future, you must organize to survive
At any hour of the day or night, millions of people around the globe are engrossed in multiplayer online games, questing and battling to win virtual "gold," jewels, and precious artifacts. Meanwhile, others seek to exploit this vast shadow economy, running electronic sweatshops in the world's poorest countries, where countless "gold farmers," bound to their work by abusive contracts and physical threats,… (more)
A brilliant and entertaining book about on-line gaming, that also throws in a course on economics, and another on labour organization, without the reader even noticing that they are learning a lot.
Great work! Living in a Third World country and playing MMORPG, albeit only for fun, I find the concept of selling virtual "gold" totally believable. As always M. Doctorow shows his expertise on the topic he writes on. The story moves on an even pace, some extensive discussions on game economics. I could not help but cheer for the characters, players and gold farmers he has created. A massively enjoyable read! Thank you, M. Doctorow!

There is no such thing as a small concrete washout disposal problem. Environmental regulations are becoming more stringent in describing how process water must be properly treated and disposed.
For many precast concrete producers, the costs associated with developing an efficient and economical standard operating procedure for fresh concrete clean-up are increasing. Normally, pre-cast operations don't generate great amounts of waste, so they don't require extensive recycling systems.
Producers looking for a new and efficient method to handle small cleanup jobs and reduce water usage by recycling process water should take a hard look at the EWOC concrete washout container. The system is not designed to recycle large quantities of leftover concrete. "It's the only cleaner specifically designed for the tools used in the concrete industry," says Andy Olson, salesman for Construction Midwest Inc., the system's national distributor based in New Hope, Minn.
Producers can efficiently clean concrete truck chutes, power buggies, mortar mixers, buckets, and hand tools while complying with local water discharge regulations. The units have been in the field for about one year.
EWOC comes in two sizes. EWOC Senior is designed for outdoor or plant conditions. It features a 100-gallon water storage tank that is designed to handle about one week's worth of tool and chute washout before requiring cleaning. EWOC Junior is designed for interior projects, such as plastering, drywall installation, and small masonry projects. It has a 50-gallon tank, small enough to allow contractors to roll the unit through most standard interior doors.
How it works
EWOC operates like a parts cleaner. Workers hand-spray filtered water, pumped from its storage tank, to wash tools, truck chutes, and other items. Rocks, debris, and solids from the washing process are scalped from the cleanout by the unit's 3-inch-thick, heavy-duty, composite grid. The perforated deck's ½-inch openings retain material with a nominal size of about 1/8-inch.
The cleanout water then gravity- drains through a two-part fabric filtration system, comprised of a prefilter membrane and a top filter. The prefilter is a disposable fabric sheet designed to capture the 100-mesh material.
EWOC's manufacturer recommends replacing the prefilter daily. The soiled fabric can be safely disposed of in a trash dumpster. The top filter is a tightly woven polypropylene fabric sheet designed to capture any material passing through the prefilter, thus preventing residue build-up in the water tank.
Built for harsh conditions, the solidly welded unit is designed for forklift handling, and its heavy-duty hinged lid can be closed to prevent rainwater and unauthorized dumping. The EWOC is equipped with a trash pump and a secondary filter to assure a steady flow of pressurized wash water.

Servicing World of Concrete
EWOC was put to the test at World of Concrete in January. Before the show, World of Concrete's construction crews placed more than 30,000 square feet of flatwork for the show's exhibitors and editorial events. Three EWOCs were strategically placed to help handle the washout and tool cleaning.
According to Sue Basham, World of Concrete's outdoor exhibits manager, the EWOC units helped increase efficiency. In previous years, Basham had to pump out the show's central disposal dumpster about 20 times. "This year with the three EWOCs, I had to make only one call for the disposal pumper, even though the amount of concrete we placed increased by one-third," says Basham.

Reviews of this property
Un séjour très sympa ,l'appartement est impecable pour 2 personnes ,idéalement bien situé .la proprietaire a été très soucieuse de de notre bien étre .
Vivi's apartment too is well worth further, it is quiet, comfortable and yet very central. Vivi had been sent in advance of many useful information for local further advice us!
Vivis Wohnung ist unbedingt weiter zu empfehlen,es ist ruhig,gemütlich und doch sehr zentral gelegen. Vivi hatte schon im Vorfeld viele nützliche Infos geschickt und vor Ort noch weitere Tipps für uns!!
An excellent accommodation and service oriented hostess. They even picked us up from the subway station and made sure that we left the taxi was waiting. The apartment itself is cozy and comfortable. There is optimum use is made of the space. The beds are good and everything is clean.
Een prima accommodatie en een servicegerichte gastvrouw. Ze kwam ons zelfs ophalen van het metrostation en zorgde ervoor dat bij ons vertrek de taxi klaarstond.
Het appartment zelf is gezellig en comfortabel. Er is optimaal gebruik gemaakt van de ruimte. De bedden zijn goed en alles is schoon.
This accommodation is perfect for exploring Budapest. Located relatively close to the center and szcechenyi baths in a quiet neighborhood. Vivi is very friendly and is happy a lot of information to facilitate the stay. The apartment is very well equipped and has everything you need.
Ce logement est parfait pour découvrir budapest. Situé relativement proche du centre et des bains de szcechenyi, dans un quartier calme. Vivi est très accueillante et se fait un plaisir tout un tas de renseignements pour faciliter le séjour. L'appartement est très bien équipé et possède tout le nécessaire.
Very welcome by the owner, correct and clean apartment, ideal for two people. Neighborhood a bit isolated and not too busy at night but close to the metro and bus and never had any problem whatever the Budapest area.
Très bon accueil par la propriétaire, appartement correct et propre, idéal pour deux personnes .
Quartier un peu isolé et pas trop animé le soir mais à deux pas des bus et métros et jamais eu le moindre problème à Budapest quel que soit le quartier.
I loved staying in this apartment and I will definitely return!! I stayed by myself to explore for 7 nights and felt very safe and it was light and quiet but also cosy too! The room is very tall and the bed is up on a mezzanine level and I found it comfy and loved the whole layout. The old peeling building was pretty special too.
It had everything I needed there - iron, washing machine, cooker and even a couple of beers in the fridge. Vivi was very accommodating and helpful with information yet not at all over-intrusive. I felt like she was just at the end of the phone/e-mail if I needed anything, (for example rebooking my taxi to the airport by an hour when I was enjoying the Spa too much on the last day!)
One thing > to get to this apartment I found the directions pretty confusing so I really do recommend just jumping in a taxi or shuttle bus. (it costs about a tenner for a taxi there, 40 mins) I would do that next time.
All in all, a really great place to stay in! :)
Home impeccable, lovely and clean studio overlooking an inner courtyard typical ... Close to the National Park, Szechenyi baths, a covered market (just opposite) and not far from the Gare de l'Est. Vivi welcomed us very kindly, without saving advice.
Accueil impeccable, studio charmant et propre donnant sur une cour intérieure typique... A deux pas du parc National, des bains Széchényi, d'un marché couvert (situé juste en face) et pas bien loin de la gare de l'Est. Vivi nous a accueillis très gentiment, sans économiser ses conseils.
Vivi and her friend were really kind and provided usefull and fun information. Lovely appartment, we stayed with 3 persons which was perfect, I wouldn't advice more people though. The location was perfect, nearby a beautiful park, a mall across the street and just a 5 minute walk to a big trainstation. Definitely a recommandation!
what a nice apartment ! elegant, calm and well decorated ! you will find everything you could wish, hair dryer, sewing kit, umbrella ... a multitude of small details that will change your life ! and Viviana is an angel ! she will give you plenty of good places ! always available, friendly and personable ! we just waiting to come back soon!
What a lovely stay!
Vivi was really nice and flexible with us and welcame my boyfriend and I with a bottle of Tokaji, a great Hungarian wine...
The flat is a lovely place, clean, very cosy und nicely arranged. We could cook as much as we wanted in the small but practical kitchen. We slept very well -the windows do not overlook the street, but the inner courtyard of a traditionnal Hungarian building. Its location (quite central, 5 minute away from the East Train Stration) is ideal to discover Pest by foot.
My only (small) reservation about the flat is the fact that there is unfortunately no lift in the building: you have to go up two flights of stairs to access the flat. It is therefore not suitable to people with reduced mobility.
For all the other ones, I would definitely recomment this flat and would personally love to stay there again next time we'll go to Budapest!

text: Anyone watch last night's game? Notice any player in particular? Although the Texans continue to load their team with play makers who made plays against the Jets, you just can't help but notice the best player on the field, let alone their team. JJ Watt got to 8.5 sacks in just 5 games with one sack last night, while swatting several passes down, one of them causing an interception. Would he look good with a star on his helmet, or what? It could have happened last year, but once again, Jerry Jones & Co. had put themselves in the position that they HAD to take OT Tyron Smith instead. What is sad it that the Jones boys are always drafting from behind. Jerry waited too long to draft a LT, so he had no choice by 2011. If the team had drafted Flozell Adams' replacement a year before they released him, the rookie could have been groomed in 2010. Instead, they waited until Doug Free proved he wasn't the answer, & were desperate in 2011 to take Tyron Smith. That left JJ Watt to go 2 picks later to the Houston Texans. All he's done is become the best interior lineman in the NFL. Can you imagine if the Cowboys had had the freedom to choose the best player regardless of position? Ware & Watt playing side by side? Close, but no cigar. Ever notice how some teams are always behind in talent acquisition & some are always ahead? The Cowboys, Redskins, Panthers & Rams fall into the first category. That's why this team has been basically .500 since 1995. The Steelers, Patriots, & Ravens fall into the second group. No matter where they pick in the draft, by the time it's over, you look up, & they've outdrafted everyone else because they can take the BPA every time. I just hope Stephen Jones breaks down and hires a REAL general manager once Jerry REALLY steps down. Until then, the Cowboys will continue to play & draft from behind.

This package contains the YaST2 component for printer configuration.
* Fri Oct 07 2011 email@example.com - Added new driver "epson-inkjet-printer-escpr" to the "Add Driver" dialog (bnc#722625). - Fixed typos in help texts (bnc#703201). - 2.21.0 * Fri Aug 05 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Removed "X-KDE-RootOnly=true" from printer.desktop (bnc#681249). * Thu Feb 10 2011 email@example.com - Be backward compatible in the "Driver Packages" dialog regarding OpenPrintingPPDs-ghostscript and cups-drivers: It tries first to install OpenPrintingPPDs-ghostscript but if this fails it tries to install cups-drivers and it removes both OpenPrintingPPDs-ghostscript and cups-drivers if installed. - 2.20.8 * Fri Feb 04 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Fixed the automatic configuration in printer_proposal.ycp so that it waits until config files have been actually updated. - Enhanced the "Automatic Configuration" dialog so that the user can trigger that the automatic configuration via printer_proposal.ycp is run. - 2.20.7 * Tue Jan 25 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Adapted the "Driver Packages" dialog because the package "cups-drivers-splix" is renamed to "splix" for openSUSE 11.4 (see Novell/openSUSE Bugzilla bnc#659579). To be backward compatible it tries first to install "splix" but if this fails it tries to install "cups-drivers-splix" and it removes both splix and cups-drivers-splix if installed (see Novell/openSUSE Bugzilla bnc#642510). - 2.20.6 * Wed Jan 19 2011 email@example.com - Rework the "Autoconfig Settings" dialog and drop the support for cups-autoconfig which is no longer available since openSUSE 11.2 (see Novell/openSUSE Bugzilla bnc#665445). - Avoid leftover buttons with WidgetID "`abort" when other YaST modules have been run from yast2-printer. E.g. when the YaST package installer is run via Package::Install(package_name) it leaves a misused "abort" button which is labeled "Skip Autorefresh". Clicking this leftover button in yast2-printer would cause a sudden abort of the whole yast2-printer module. - 2.20.5 * Tue Jan 11 2011 email@example.com - Added support for samba-krb-printing to set up printing in a kerberized Windows Active Directory (AD) environment (see Novell/openSUSE Bugzilla bnc#661845). - 2.20.4 * Tue Oct 26 2010 email@example.com - Adapted "Driver Packages" dialog for current RPMs: Removed CheckBoxes for cups-drivers and ghostscript-omni. Added CheckBoxes for OpenPrintingPPDs-ghostscript, OpenPrintingPPDs-hpijs, OpenPrintingPPDs-postscript, cups-drivers-splix, and m2300w (see Novell/openSUSE Bugzilla bnc#642510). - 2.20.3 * Thu Sep 23 2010 email@example.com - Replaced Popup::TimedMessage while "Updating configuration files" with a nicer looking animated ProgressBar widget (see Novell/openSUSE Bugzilla bnc#640547). - Changed the numbers for DownloadProgress to multiple of 1024 to get nicer looking "nnn.0 KB" texts in the Gtk UI. - Fixed some typos in texts at various places. - 2.20.2 * Wed Aug 18 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Added a "Use as Default" check-box below the input field for the queue name in the "Add" dialog and enhanced its help text accordingly (see Novell/openSUSE Bugzilla bnc#631263). - 2.20.1 * Tue Aug 10 2010 email@example.com - Added testprint.2pages.ps and enhanced test page printing in overview.ycp to let the user choose to print one (default) or two pages test print e.g. to test duplex printing (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#629160). - Enhanced texts in popups regarding firewall so that they can no longer be misunderstood to open ports (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#627799). - Enhanced the help text regarding possible drawback (delays if CUPS server does not respond) for a "client only" config. - 2.20.0 * Thu Jul 01 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Enhanced the test_* tools to do the most meaningful test first so that ICMP echo (ping) is no longer required in any case (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#616706). - 2.19.14 * Wed Jun 23 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - In autodetect_print_queues replace each " character by \" in the YCP output for the print queue description and location strings (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#616687). - 2.19.13 * Wed Jun 02 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - In Printer.ycp and helps.ycp fixed the text strings therein which still refer to the old button labels before they have been renamed in version 2.19.3 and 2.19.4 (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#610724). - In the driver options dialog replaced the awkward way in the DriverOptionItems function how the currently selected value was shown by a more clean way via plain text addendums which has the advantage that now both the current setting in the system and the currently selected value can be shown to the user (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#603182). - 2.19.12 * Wed May 19 2010 email@example.com - Added 'Settings;System' to the Categories in printer.desktop so that it will show up at the right place on all desktop environments in particular for the LXDE/XFCE menu (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#607047). - 2.19.11 * Thu May 06 2010 email@example.com - yast2-printer can launch hp-setup to set up HP devices. When hp-setup has finished, it is likely that a new print queue was created by it and therefore basicadd.ycp should call Printerlib::WaitForUpdatedConfigFiles after hp-setup finished (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#603247). - 2.19.10 * Thu Apr 29 2010 email@example.com - Do no longer show positive feedback in TestClientOnlyServer because this would cause annoying popups for the user because in most cases TestClientOnlyServer is called indirectly without a button click. Only show positive feedback in printingvianetwork.ycp when TestClientOnlyServer is called by the user when clicking the [Test Server] button. - 2.19.9 * Fri Apr 23 2010 email@example.com - In overview.ycp added an initial responsive test if CUPS server is accessible by using the TestClientOnlyServer function which was moved from printingvianetwork.ycp to Printer.ycp and adapted so that it can be used both for overview.ycp and printingvianetwork.ycp (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#595612). - Fixed English spelling in basicadd.ycp, basicmodify.ycp, and Printerlib.ycp (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#596526). - In overview.ycp for testpage printing added "tail -n 20" when the CUPS error_log info is grepped to avoid a too tall popup which may show too many lines (in particular in case of the oververbose Gutenprint driver). - In overview.ycp show a generic text when the user selected that testpage printing had failed for a local queue but there are no messages in /var/log/cups/error_log regarding the testpage print job. - 2.19.8 * Tue Mar 30 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Further cleanup and enhancement of printer_auto.ycp: Added CreateBackupFile to backup /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and /etc/cups/client.conf before "Reset" and "Write". Added restart of local cupsd in "Change" if its config was reset to system defaults by "Reset" before. Made ReadFileContent safe against possible end of CDATA section strings "]]>" inside file contets. - 2.19.7 * Thu Mar 18 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Major cleanup of the AutoYaST printer client printer_auto.ycp (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#588679): Now there is verbatim cupsd.conf and client.conf as XML CDATA in the AutoYaST control file. This results a new AutoYaST control file structure: <printer> <client_conf_content> <file_contents><![CDATA[ ... verbatim content of /etc/cups/client.conf ... ]]></file_contents> </client_conf_content> <cupsd_conf_content> <file_contents><![CDATA[ ... verbatim content of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf ... ]]></file_contents> </cupsd_conf_content> </printer> Provide a new src/printer.rnc to match the new AutoYaST control file structure. - In src/printer.desktop added the line X-SuSE-YaST-AutoInstSchema=printer.rnc to pull in printer.rnc when yast2-schema is build (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#588998). - In printer_proposal.ycp use Printer::DeriveModelName and Printer::DeriveDriverFilterString the same way as in basicadd.ycp so that the proposal results now the same queue setup as if the user would have just clicked [OK] in the BasicAddDialog. - Prefer "manufacturer-PPD" over "recommended" PPD (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#589371). - 2.19.6 * Wed Mar 03 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Fixed tools/autodetect_print_queues by testing for the positive "lpstat -r" output "scheduler is running" the same way as already implemented in src/Printerlib.ycp (bnc#584540). - Fixed testpage printing in overview.ycp: When testpage printing failed, the queue may have become disabled so that a refresh of the overview content is needed (e.g. to show the new queue state). Added support to show the particular logging info in /var/log/cups/error_log for the testpage print job when the user clicked "Testpage printing failed". - In CUPS version 1.5 SCSI printer support will be dropped, see http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3500 i.e. the CUPS scsi backend will be dropped. Therefore in yast2-printer SCSI printer support is also dropped in connectionwizard.ycp and helps.ycp. Nevertheless because of the dropped scsi backend there is at least a user notification Popup::ErrorDetails if the scsi backend is used for a queue but there is no /usr/lib*/cups/backend/scsi (bnc#580121). - In none of the bash scripts for yast2-printer bash globbing is needed. Actually in all those scripts no bash globbing should happen. Therefore I added to all those scripts a "set -f" line (bnc #575056). - 2.19.5 * Fri Jan 22 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Fixed search usability in basicadd.ycp and basicmodify.ycp in each run of the user input while loop before UI::UserInput() by first replacing the [Search for] button with itself with `opt(`default) to enforce this default regardless whatever function call or UI bug (see bnc#558900) may have changed it and then additionally but only when the user is already searching drivers, set the focus to the InputField for the search string so that the user can just type in another search string. In contrast when the user is not already searching drivers, it is annoying in particular in the text-only ncurses UI when the focus becomes always set to the search string InputField for each run of the user input while loop. - In basicadd.ycp and basicmodify.ycp re-rename the PushButton to launch the DriverAdd dialog from "Install Driver" to "Driver Packages" because the former can be confused by the user with the functionality what the [OK] button in basicadd.ycp and basicmodify.ycp does i.e. to install the print queue with the selected driver. - Improved help text 'regarding firewall' and added link to 'SDB:CUPS and SANE Firewall settings' at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings - 2.19.4 * Tue Jan 19 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - More meaningful wording in BasicAdd and BasicModify dialogs in particular the following PushButton renames: From "More Connections" to "Detect More", from "Search" to "Search for", from "More Drivers" to "Find More", from "Add Driver" to "Install Driver", from "Set Name" to "Set Arbitrary Name". - 2.19.3 * Wed Jan 13 2010 email@example.com - Adjusted .desktop file(s) to wrap /sbin/yast2/ calls in xdg-su where root privileges are needed, removed X-KDE-SubstituteUID key (bnc#540627) * Tue Dec 22 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Added percent encoding of URI values in the "Connection Wizard" (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#561626). - Added support to launch 'hp-setup' from the BasicAdd dialog to provide setup support for HP printers which require a proprietary plugin to be downloaded and installed and better setup support for HP network printers and HP all-in-one devices (HP's own tool 'hp-setup' implements special handling for special HP devices better than YaST). - 2.19.2 * Wed Dec 09 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - An existing connection can be modified by the "Connection Wizard" which launches with a matching sub-dialog where the values of the existing connection are preset or it falls back to the "Specify Arbitrary Device URI" sub-dialog if the existing URI scheme does not match to a more specific sub-dialog (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#553871). - Added support for current_queue_name and current_device_uri in Printer.ycp, overview.ycp, basicadd.ycp, and basicmodify.ycp which means that the currently used queue and/or connection is preselected in the Overview and/or Add/Modify dialogs (i.e. there no longer only the default Table widget prelelection which preselects the topmost item). - Replaced several duplicated code blocks in basicmodify.ycp, basicadd.ycp, and connectionwizard.ycp by calling the new added DeriveModelName and DeriveDriverFilterString functions in Printer.ycp. - Added "bugfix-support" for username and password in ipp/http URIs and for username in lpd URIs. "Bugfix-support" means that there is no support to set up URIs with those stuff because the CUPS main author Michael Sweet really does not want to encourage its use but when it is already there in an existing URI, it is at least shown correctly. Usually username and password components for ipp/http and lpd URIs are shown in the matching "Connection Wizard" sub-dialog in the hostname field in the form username:password@hostname for ipp/http and username@hostname for lpd URIs (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#512549). - Connection Wizard: test connection does no longer require printer manufacturer (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#536461). - Enhanced error messages in the test_remote_* tools to indicate possible reasons for the error (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#553872). - In Printer.ycp replaced "Detected printers" by "Printer detection finished" (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#533584). - Added BrowsePoll support for "Print via Network" (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#433047). - Added bugfixes and minor support for local classes: Local classes are shown as "class" (not as "remote") and one can delete a local class but there is no support to add or edit classes. - 2.19.1 * Fri Oct 30 2009 email@example.com - Added a generic test if a firewall is used to Printerlib.ycp and if yes show popup info to the user regarding CUPS+firewall for the "Print via Network" and "Share Printers" dialogs (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#549065). - 2.19.0 * Wed Aug 05 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - In the Autoconfig dialog autoconfig.ycp added support for udev-configure-printer which replaces cups-autoconfig because cups-autoconfig is deprecated because cups-autoconfig uses HAL which is deprecated, see http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2009-June/013429.html nevertheless cups-autoconfig is still supported too (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#526657). - 2.18.19 * Tue Jul 28 2009 email@example.com - Be prepared for CUPS 1.4: * Since CUPS 1.4 'lpstat -r' results true even when scheduler is not running. Therefore we must now grep in its output for 'scheduler is running' (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#520599). * Since CUPS 1.4 there is no longer a readymade PostScript testpage in CUPS. Therefore a slightly modified CUPS 1.3.10 testprint.ps was added as /usr/share/YaST2/data/testprint.ps (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#520617). * Since CUPS 1.4 there are several seconds delay until cupsd writes config files like printers.conf which requires the new function Printerlib::WaitForUpdatedConfigFiles (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#520612). * At least in CUPS 1.4.rc1 a 'sleep 1' workaround is required to ensure that 'lpoptions -l' reports correct defaults (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#520642 and CUPS STR #3264 http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3264). - 2.18.18 * Wed Jul 08 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - redone printer.rnc file * Tue Jun 02 2009 email@example.com - Adapted the Connection Wizard and its help text regarding beh for the new foomatic-filters 4.0.1 which now contains beh so that cups-backends is no longer required to set up beh (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#502656 comment #15). - Fixed the determine_printer_driver_options tool which failed to set PPD options with special characters in keywords (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#503774). - Let the autodetect_print_queues tool ignore "root"-instances (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#503065). - 2.18.17 * Tue May 19 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - fixed: creating AY profile (bnc#504762) - 2.18.16 * Thu Apr 30 2009 email@example.com - In the Print via Network dialog changed ambiguous wording "receive" to "accept" to make it more clear that this setting is not about actively polling via BrowsePoll but regarding passively accepting via BrowseAllow (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#433047 comment #10). - 2.18.15 * Fri Apr 24 2009 email@example.com - Fixed the Connection Wizard which now checks for each connection which is not natively supported by CUPS if the RPM package which provides the matching CUPS backend is installed. - 2.18.14 * Thu Apr 23 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - When printing a testpage in the Overview dialog, explicitly show the pending print jobs so that the user can now better decide whether or not the pending jobs could be deleted. - Fixed serial printer setup in the Connection Wizard (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#488655) and fixed SCSI printer setup in the Connection Wizard accordingly. - Makeshift fix of the bluetooth setup in the Connection Wizard so that manual bluetooth printer setup is possible now (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#467220 comment #11). - Removed all stuff regarding "infra" from the Connection Wizard because we do not and did not provide a CUPS backend for infrared access (IrDA) which does not mean that such a setup is impossible because any special case can be set up via "Specify Arbitrary Device URI". - 2.18.13 * Thu Apr 16 2009 email@example.com - Undo using "-o document-format=application/vnd.cups-postscript" when submitting the test page because it does not work for the Gutenprint driver (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#467877). - 2.18.12 * Thu Apr 16 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Removed the "filters" package from the "Add Driver" dialog because this package was dropped for openSUSE 11.2. - Be prepared for the upcomming PDF workflow by submitting the test page using "-o document-format=application/vnd.cups-postscript" (see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#467877). - 2.18.11 * Thu Apr 02 2009 email@example.com - Improved the driver search functionality in basicadd.ycp and in basicmodify.ycp (in particular each sequence of spaces in the search string is replaced by the regexp '.*' so that the search string "ACME 100" would find "ACME FunPrinter 100"). - 2.18.10 * Tue Mar 03 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Fixed a few bugs in the "More Drivers" functionality. In particular it works now always based on the current visible search string and no longer on whatever obsure other stuff. - The DriverItems function in Printer.ycp searches the model name now also in the 1284DeviceID entry in the PPDs because this entry should contain the exact model name how it is autodetected while the NickName entry (which is still searched) may contain a different model name (e.g. what is labeled on the device). - 2.18.9

Salisbury , N.C. –The Brevard College Tornados baseball team was swept in a doubleheader with Catawba College Indians on Saturday afternoon at Newman Park, falling 15-0 in game one before dropping a 10-3 decision in the second game. Catawba completed the series sweep after taking the opener on Friday night.
Game One – Catawba 15, Brevard 0
Tornados starter Brennan Daniels (L, 1-2 ) retired the side in order in the first inning before the Indians scored 10 runs over the next three innings, seven of which were charged to Daniels before the righty was lifted in favor of Chad Fisher in the 4th. Daniels allowed nine hits and a walk over 3.1 innings.
Fisher recorded one out in the 4th before a BC fielding error with two outs led to three unearned runs for the Indians. Catawba added two in the 6th and three in the 7th against Heath Blackmon and Zach Huneycutt, respectively. The Indians collected 20 hits in the game.
BC's lone hit came off the bat of Kody Spencer in the top of the 2nd.
Game Two – Catawba 10, Brevard 3
Catawba capitalized on three Brevard errors in the bottom of the 1st inning to jump out to a 7-0 lead against BC starter Nick Blackwood (L,1-2), who recorded only one out in the 1st before Alex Litaker was called in from the bullpen. Blackwod was charged with seven runs (three earned), allowing five hits and a walk.
The Tornados got one run back in the top of the 2nd on a Chris Christopoulos RBI single up the middle, but Garrett Furr answered for the Indians in their half of the 2nd with a solo homer to make it 8-1.
Matt Proffitt knocked a solo homer in the 4th to cut the Indians lead to 8-2 before Catawba's Paul Kronenfield answered with a two-run shot in their half of the 4th to make it 10-2.
Champ Stuart stole home in the 5th for the Tornados final run. The Tornados finished with four hits.

My approach is very much influenced by the Jungian notion that there is something essential about ourselves that we discover through the experience of depression which he defined as "being forced downwards." In addition to offering a safe compassionate space in which to explore what this "darkness" has to offer, I also emphasize, consistent with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy protocols, the ultimate healing power of making a commitment to a valued action.

Depression is more than just a feeling of being "down in the dumps" or "blue". Depression can affect both your mind and your body and permeate all areas of your life—sleeping, appetite, working, relationships, hobbies, and how you feel about yourself. Symptoms can last weeks, months, or even years if untreated. Counseling can help you pinpoint possible reasons for your depression (loss, stress, past issues/"baggage"), manage symptoms (sleeplessness/oversleeping, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, lack of energy, relationship stress), and move on towards feelings of fulfillment.

Degree ProgramsThe Thornton School of Music offers professional and academic degrees at the bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels. These degrees are summarized below.
Bachelor of Music Students working toward this professional degree have a wide choice of specializations: composition, music education, music industry, instrumental performance, jazz studies, and vocal arts. Students can take either a single major program or double majors in several combinations such as organ and harpsichord or piano and composition, music education and wind, string, or percussion instrument. The two majors must be offered by different departments but lead to the same degree (for example, Bachelor of Music). Double majors consisting of two majors in the same department are not permitted. The degree is granted by the Thornton School of Music.
Bachelor of Arts This degree is for students with a strong music background but who wish to combine professional music training with substantial study in other disciplines.
Bachelor of Science Offered by the Thornton School of Music in the specialized area of music industry.
Minors in Music: Five different minors in music are offered, each approaching the discipline from a unique perspective and with a distinct curriculum: Jazz Studies, Musical Studies (Performance), Musical Theatre, Music Industry, and Music Recording.
Master of Music: This is a professional degree that represents proficiency in one area of musical practice and relevant knowledge in musical literature, performance and technique. It requires a minimum of 30 graduate units, of which 15 must be at the 500 level or higher. Students complete either a thesis or recital(s) as part of the degree requirements. The degree can be earned in choral music, sacred music, composition, conducting, music education, keyboard collaborative arts, guitar, harpsichord, jazz studies, organ, piano, voice or instrumental performance. The degree is granted by the Thornton School of Music.
Master of Music Education: This degree is offered jointly by the Thornton School of Music and the Rossier School of Education. It is intended for persons who are now, or who plan to be, school or community music specialists.
Master of Arts: This degree, offered through the Graduate School in conjunction with the Thornton School of Music, stresses music history or early music performance, with emphasis on scholarly research.
Doctor of Musical Arts: This is a professional degree that represents the highest level of expertise in a major field of musical practice and competence in several additional areas. Students may specialize in choral music, sacred music, composition, jazz studies, music education, vocal or instrumental performance.
Doctor of Philosophy: Offered through the Graduate School, this is an academic degree in the field of historical musicology. A substantial background in music, research and languages is required.
Entrance to the Degree ProgramsAdmission to a degree program is granted through USC's admission process, described in the Admission section of this catalogue. A supplementary application form is also required for students seeking admission to the Thornton School of Music, which can be obtained from the School of Music Office of Admission.
Applicants to a program within the school are screened by appropriate faculty selection committees that hold auditions, interviews and examine supportive materials. Letters of acceptance are issued by the USC Office of Admission.
AuditionA performance audition is required of applicants to most degree and certificate programs in the Thornton School of Music. Refer to individual curriculum listings for details.
Graduate Record ExaminationsScores from the General Test of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) are required for application and admission to the Master of Arts, Doctor of Musical Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. (The Music Subject Test is not required.) Test scores on the GRE that are more than five years old at the time of application are not accepted.
Placement TestsUndergraduate transfer students who have had formal study in any of the following areas must take the appropriate placement examination prior to their first registration: aural skills, theory, music history, conducting, analysis, orchestration and performance. The results of these examinations determine placement in appropriate sequential courses.
Admission to Graduate StandingAchievement tests in basic musical skills and areas of study (Music Graduate Entrance Examinations) are required of all entering graduate students during the first semester or summer session in residence. If all examinations are not passed by the end of two semesters of course work, then further registration must include remedial courses in all areas where deficiencies exist. In degree programs in which one recital is required, all entrance examinations must be passed or corresponding remedial course work completed with a minimum grade of B- before permission to present a graduate recital is given. In programs with two or more recitals, only the first may be given prior to passing all entrance examinations or completing corresponding remedial courses.
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)All applicants whose native language is not English are required to submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Both paper-based and computer-based scores are accepted. Test scores that are more than five years old at the time of application are not accepted.
Advanced Standing Credit for Music Taken in Accredited Schools of MusicMusic courses completed with satisfactory grades in a member institution of the National Association of Schools of Music are acceptable for transfer. The university reserves the right, however, to require a student to take a placement test (at no cost) to determine the level of achievement in any given aspect of music, and to review the student's credentials at the end of one semester at USC to determine what credit will in fact be transferred.
Advanced Standing Credit for Music Not Taken in Accredited Schools of MusicStudents who wish credit for music taken in institutions not accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music must provide the Office of Admission with information on their prior work, showing the subjects studied, the number of lessons in each subject, the length of each lesson, number of years of study and the names of instructors. Such special requests are dealt with on an individual basis. Examinations or continuation work or both may be required before credit allowance is considered.
General RequirementsAll curricula leading to the Bachelor of Music, Master of Music and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees require proficiency in performance. This is accomplished by individual instruction in the areas best suited to the student's ability and interests.
Proficiency in piano is required in all curricula and may be achieved through class and/or individual instruction. Some curricula require competency in one additional performance medium.
Attendance at recitals in the field of the student's major is a regular part of the work in applied music for all music majors. Attendance at recitals is recommended for non-music majors who take individual instruction as an elective.

Zim can be used to keep an archive of notes, take notes during meetings or lectures, organize task lists, draft blog entries and email, or do brainstorming.
strongSwan is a complete IPsec implementation for the Linux, Android, Maemo, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X operating systems. It interoperates with with most other IPsec-based VPN products via the IKEv2 or IKEv1 key exchange protocols. The focus of the strongSwan project is on strong authentication mechanisms using X.509 public key certificates and optional secure storage of private keys on smartcards through a standardized PKCS#11 interface. A rich choice of modular plugins adds additional features like Trusted Network Connect or advanced cryptographical algorithms.
The MirBSD Korn Shell (mksh) is an actively developed successor of pdksh (the Public Domain Korn Shell), aimed at producing a shell good for interactive use, but with the primary focus on scripting. It is intended to be portable to most *nix-like operating systems as long as they're not too obscure. mksh incorporates improvements from OpenBSD and Debian, as well as bugfixes and enhancements developed for the MirOS, FreeWRT, and MidnightBSD projects and Android. The emacs command line editing mode is UTF-8 capable, and Byte Order Marks are ignored in scripts. The shell supports large files, as well as all pdksh and some csh, AT&T ksh, zsh, and GNU bash features, is compatible with the Bourne shell and POSIX (within limits), has no limit on array sizes, and incorporates some other useful builtins and features. While being already fast and small (without losing functionality), flags to make it even smaller can be given at compile time. An interactive shell reads "~/.mkshrc" on startup.
Gigalomania is a 2D real time strategy game that is a clone of Mega-Lo-Mania. The gameplay consists of researching and developing new technology with which to conquer your enemies, from rocks and sticks to nuclear weapons and spaceships. You can advance through ten different ages, from the stone age to the future. There are 28 different maps to play through. The game is still under development, but is entirely playable in its current state.
PortaBase is a database program for creating, browsing, and editing single-table data files. Notable features include the ability to change the columns at any time, views of column subsets, multi-column sorting, multi-condition filtering, CSV import and export, XML import and export, and column summary statistics. Typical uses are media inventories, reference charts, shopping lists, and TODO lists.
Mole (Mobile Organic Localization Engine) provides room-level geoposition estimates using existing WiFi infrastructure. When you create an entry in the database by naming a room, your and other users' mobile devices will recognize when they are in that room. Other applications can poll or monitor the current room estimate and act accordingly, with context aware behavior. Because too much WiFi scanning drains batteries, it uses accelerometers and other tricks to keep scanning to a minimum while keeping update latency reasonable.
Dandelion is a 3D graph rendering application which can be controlled across a network. Its main purpose is to allow clear network graphs to be rendered in a window, which can be controlled by a separate application or the user. The Dandelion visualization is actually controlled by issuing simple commands to it across the network (although this could all be happening on a single machine). The Dandelion source includes a set of very simple libraries which can be incorporated into other applications and which can be used to send these commands. Libraries are included for C, C#, Java, and Python. The project was developed at Liverpool John Moores University within the PROTECT Centre.

Lessons of a Too-Successful Crowdfunder
The Instacube is a device for capturing feeds of Instagram photos and projecting the images in a digital picture frame that can sit on a desk, table or countertop. It's also a cautionary tale for individuals and entrepreneurs who use crowdfunding to help get new products and businesses off the ground.
Increasingly popular, crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo offer individuals a chance to fund projects from niche gadgets to the Veronica Mars movie being released this weekend. In 2013, Kickstarter attracted $480 million from 3 million people to fund nearly 20,000 projects.
Unlike venture capitalists or angel investors, backers of crowdfunded projects don't receive equity in the company. Instead, they typically get one of the items they helped fund.
But what happens when the item is never produced?
In a Sunday session at the South By Southwest tech conference titled, "I Ran an Extremely Successful Crowdfunding Scam," social-media marketer Savannah Peterson told how she was hounded and vilified by investors after she led one of Kickstarter's most successful crowdfunding campaigns, which raised $621,000 within four months. Then the company failed to launch the Instacube as promised.
According to Peterson, there was no intent to defraud investors. Instead, the company underestimated the difficulty in producing hardware, particularly by overseas manufacturers.
"In the first 24 hours we raised $125,000," Peterson said of the Kickstarter campaign she launched for Sunnyvale, Calif., incubation studio D2M in August 2012. "It was the most exhilarating day of my professional career," she said. "We raised our goal of $250,000 in four days."
Perhaps as important, she explained, the Kickstarter campaign also served as free, viral marketing. Social media drives much of the interest in crowdsourcing ventures.
Backers were told Instacube would ship in March 2013. That date came and went, and contributors soon went from restless to angry.
"When we didn't ship, there was a lot of rage," Peterson said. "I was actually getting threats." Some backers posted her personal email and cell phone number online.
As weeks passed, Peterson grew concerned that the company might not be able to deliver. "I was humiliated," she told the conference attendees. "I pitched something that wasn't real yet. I felt horrible." Contributors included her friends and family members.

Exhausted and feeling "beat up," she left D2M, as did the product's lead designer. Peterson said she is bound by a confidentiality agreement not to provide further details on how the company spent the money raised through Kickstarter.
Ultimately, D2M formed a separate entity, NuMatter, to complete the project under new management.
Kathy Turner, NuMatter's head of marketing and business development, said that it expects Instacubes to start rolling off assembly lines in China in two weeks. It is now taking orders for the $149 device, and expects to begin shipping in early April. Working, beta versions of the device were on display at South by Southwest, in Austin, Texas.
Turner listened to Peterson's presentation, and said she did not disagree with any of it.
"The initial funds went to finding the right sales force," she said. "Missteps were made… no one absconded with money."
Peterson and Turner offer similar advice for entrepreneurs who use crowdfunding, and potential backers: Don't expect to fund a company solely through crowdfunding. Backers should know they have few rights if the project never materializes.
"Crowdfunding is an incredible marketing tool," Turner said. "It's a great way to test viability. If you are starting a business, that's useful data to take to true funding sources."

SAN BERNARDINO - The Police Department showed it was serious about going after the people who killed three elderly women during home-invasion robberies by announcing $30,000 in rewards for each case in January.
And police detectives continue to shine a light on home-invasion robberies and burglaries targeting senior citizens. Six cases, including one being investigated by the Sheriff's Department, were reported in January alone.
But in the Police Department's efforts to crack down on the problem, a belief has arisen that criminals are focusing on the elderly.
"That perception has evolved recently, that the elderly are being targeted," Police Chief Robert Handy said Friday. "We don't believe that that is necessarily true."
Handy said residents and city officials have been calling him almost daily, asking what he is doing about the crimes. Officers arrested three people this week, including a teen boy and girl who allegedly beat and robbed a 74-year-old man in the 2300 block of North Windsor Avenue, and an 18-year-old man who allegedly robbed a 78-year-old woman in the 200 block of West Seventh Street.
The frequent calls from panicked residents prompted Handy to take a closer look at the cases.
He said he and other officers discovered that since November, 11 percent of the city's robbery and burglary cases involved victims at least 60 years old. The same age group makes up about 18 percent of the city's population, showing that the crimes are not disproportionate to the population.
"It's unfortunate that anyone is victimized in our community - children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable - but we don't believe there is a relationship between the crimes, and we don't believe there is any spike involving the elderly," he said.
He said hasn't had a chance to compare numbers of crimes against the elderly in previous years.
Police Sgt. Gary Robertson said police, so far, have not been able to connect the January home invasions to the November death of Mary Beth Blaskey, 76, who was killed by at least one robber who ransacked her residence and fled in her vehicle.
"There's nothing to indicate that whoever is doing this is connected to Mary Beth Blaskey's case," Robertson said.
Handy emphasized that he still considers the crimes serious and that seniors should do everything they can to protect themselves and their homes.
He said he's been working with Kevin Hawkins, director of the Parks, Recreation and Community Services, to organize a series of meetings at senior centers to educate the elderly on safety.
He also encouraged residents to report crimes, no matter how minor. Handy said a woman recently contacted him because a man got onto her mother's property, but because the man did not enter the house, she didn't report it.
With education and vigilance, Handy says seniors will have a better chance of not becoming victims.
"Criminals are opportunists and they're out looking for opportunities," he said. "They're looking for the path of least resistance, so they're looking for a window or a door that is unlocked."
