Packaging Equipment & Supply Manufacturers and Companies
Packaging can refer to either the process of constructing packages or the actual packing of a product into a container. Packaging equipment makes the distribution process easier through the automation of tasks that previously would have been manual, such as contract sewing or die cutting. Packaging equipment manufacturers offer labeling machinery, machine vision systems, marking machinery, palletizers and more. Not only does the packaging equipment effectively sort and package materials but the process is designed to protect the materials from unwanted containments or becoming damaged. Due to the industrialization of packaging, packaging supply chains are often utilized to create extremely organized packaging equipment systems that move parts and packaging supplies such as plastic bags and corrugated boxes through various stages quickly and efficiently. There is a high demand for industrial packaging supplies such as plastic trays, clamshells and blister packs. These solutions are used in industries such as commercial, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, medical and electronics, packaging and shipping supplies are commonly made from plastic materials such as polyethylene, polycarbonate, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride.
Types of Packaging Equipment & Supplies:
Contract Packaging
Contract packaging is a service where a company will package products for another company. Proper packaging is an essential step in the distributing process of any manufacturer and some industries have a number of very strict packaging requirements. For example the food/beverage and medical industries are required to comply with a set of regulations to ship their items. In some situations companies may not be able to properly equipped with the equipment to meet these requirements so a contract packaging company can then be utilized to adequately package the materials.

Community offering ways to give back to Wednesday's Fortuna fire victims
FORTUNA- Main street is now open to two-way traffic in downtown Fortuna, two days after a fire consumed five businesses.
Clean up continues around the historic star hotel building as crews work to clear charred debris from the area. Although the building is completely destroyed, the businesses say they are not giving up. In the aftermath, local stores are offering their space and services to the business lost in the fire. But you don't have to be a local business to help out. There are now several ways you can lend a hand.
"A lot of people on Main Street due to the fire didn't do any business for a couple of days and I think really what we want to say right now is come to Fortuna, walk into these businesses and please spend a few bucks," Precision Intermedia Employee Rod Allen said. "You know, because the businesses that actually were displaced, you could call it ground zero. They will be back and they're looking for places right now to move into and reopen their businesses."
A Go Fund Me site has also been set up to help the businesses lost in the fire. All funds raised will be split equally between the five. You can donate by going to gofundme.com/FortunaStrong.
Another way you can help out is to volunteer. A list of volunteers is being created. If interested in participating email: firstname.lastname@example.com. The city of Fortuna and Hops in Humboldt are also planning a benefit for those affected by the fire. That event is scheduled for February 27th at the River Lodge.
Finally, although no person was injured during the blaze, horizon business products is reporting an animal casualty. They do not believe their cat Gidget made it out safely.

Induction of DNA damage by UVB and UVA radiation may generate mutations and genomic instability leading to carcinogenesis. Therefore, skin cells being repeatedly exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light have acquired multilayered protective mechanisms to avoid malignant transformation. Besides extensive DNA repair mechanisms, the damaged skin cells can be eliminated by induction of apoptosis, which is mediated through the action of tumor suppressor p53. In order to prevent the excessive loss of skin cells and to maintain the skin barrier function, apoptotic pathways are counteracted by anti-apoptotic signaling including the AKT/mTOR pathway. However, AKT/mTOR not only prevents cell death, but is also active in cell cycle transition and hyper-proliferation, thereby also counteracting p53. In turn, AKT/mTOR is tuned down by the negative regulators being controlled by the p53. This inhibition of AKT/mTOR, in combination with transactivation of damage-regulated autophagy modulators, guides the p53-mediated elimination of damaged cellular components by autophagic clearance. Alternatively, p53 irreversibly blocks cell cycle progression to prevent AKT/mTOR-driven proliferation, thereby inducing premature senescence. Conclusively, AKT/mTOR via an extensive cross talk with p53 influences the UV response in the skin with no black and white scenario deciding over death or survival.
An increasing exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) from either sun-emitted radiation or artificial sources (e.g., in medical applications or wellness facilities), represent one of the major hazards affecting human health by skin carcinogenesis [
The decrease of the stratospheric ozone layer plus indoor applications of UV light increases the exposure of human skin to the hazardous effects of UVB and UVA radiation [
Indeed both, UVB and UVA represent carcinogens for non-melanoma skin cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and are emerging as causative factors in malignant melanoma (MM) formation [
Undoubtedly, UV radiation represents one of the major etiological factors responsible for the development of skin cancer. The question remains how the complex cellular machinery for DNA damage recognition and repair coupled to cell cycle arrest and/or execution of cell death can be suspended? Additionally to causing genomic DNA damage, the multifactorial effects of UV also include damage in mitochondrial DNA [
Serine/threonine protein kinase B (AKT) becomes activated downstream of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-activated PI3K by phosphorylation at Thr308 [
The decision whether apoptosis is induced or not is made during a temporary cell cycle arrest in which the balance between numerous kinases senses the intensity of DNA damage and ponder cell cycle progression against apoptosis induction. The major kinases involved are ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated), ATR (ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related) and DNA-PK (DNA-dependent protein kinase). While ATM and DNA-PK mainly become activated in response to ionizing radiation, ATR predominantly responds to UV radiation, causing phosphorylation of histone H2AX, phosphorylation of check point kinases (Chk1/2), and phosphorylation of p53 at Ser15 and Ser20 [
Proper DNA repair as well as activation of checkpoint proteins also depends on the activation status of AKT. Although some data indicate that AKT may support UV-induced DSBs repair [
The pivotal role of p53 in the elimination of severely damaged cells is underlined by the clinical evidence that p53 mutations induced by UV were found in >90% of human SCC and about 50% of BCC [
Experimental data in HaCaT cells bearing two heterozygous p53 mutations [
Upon death receptor (CD95, TRAILR, TNFR) activation the extrinsic pathway is initiated by binding of the adapter protein FADD to the activated intracellular death domain (DD) and recruitment of the initiator procaspase-8 to form the death inducing signaling complex (DISC). In type I cells auto-activation of caspase-8 causes direct activation of downstream effector caspase-3 through proteolytic cleavage. In contrast, in type II cells the apoptotic signal generated at DISC is amplified via the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway [
Thus, hyper-activation of the AKT/mTOR pathway in response to UV radiation is associated with death resistance through inhibition of apoptosis and with mTORC1-driven hyper-proliferation. This implies, that the AKT/mTOR pathway allows damaged keratinocytes to survive and proliferate under hazardous conditions and thereby it contributes to photocarcinogenesis.
Analyzing the mutational spectrum found in SCC, BCC and melanoma, respectively, AKT/mTOR signaling at a first glance does not seem to play a prevalent role in skin carcinogenesis. Recently, however, the phosphorylation status of mTOR signaling components was assessed in immunohistochemical and protein microarray analyses of human epidermal tumors in comparison to normal tissue [
Despite the fact that a limited amount of data exists concerning the direct impact of UV radiation on AKT pathways in melanocytes, the activity of AKT and ERK has been shown to diminish skin pigmentation. Due to the resulting lack of keratinocyte pigmentation, AKT and ERK may indirectly contribute to increased sensitivity towards UV radiation [
Taken together, hyper-activation of the AKT/mTOR pathway that occurs at a wide range of UVA and UVB doses supports epidermal tumor promotion by enforcing cell cycle transition and accelerated proliferation. According to Carr
Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process of "self-eating" aimed to remove long-lived or damaged proteins and organelles, and for recycling of cytoplasmic contents. This adaptive response enables the cells to maintain homeostasis and to survive starvation stress. Thus, under physiological conditions induction of autophagy may suppress tumorigenesis. In established tumors however, autophagy facilitates cancer cells to survive either its own exhaustive metabolic turnover or therapeutic intervention [
Autophagy induced by nutrient starvation has been most extensively studied, however recently a number of other stress factors such as UV radiation, DNA damage, ROS formation, hypoxia, and unfolded protein responses have been recognized to activate this process. In this context, autophagy is believed to predominantly rescue cells from stress-induced cell death and therefore can foster the survival of altered ones [
At the molecular level, autophagy is controlled by highly conserved autophagy-related
With regard to UV radiation, it is sensible to conclude that autophagy would contribute to maintenance of UV-damaged cells because one of its major regulators UVRAG was named to reflect its role in providing resistance against UV [
Authophagy meets apoptosis at an interplay between ATG and anti- as well as pro-apoptotic proteins. It is postulated that these two pathways converge at Beclin-1, which via its BH-3 domain interacts with the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2, Bcl-xL or Bcl-w [
Recently, another interesting aspect of autophagy has been indicated to influence skin physiology, namely the regulation of melanosome degradation in keratinocytes. In a study on the regulation of skin pigmentation among different ethnic groups, Murase
DNA damage-induced ATM and p53 both being involved in apoptosis and autophagy induction, respectively, have also been described as key players in induction of senescence. Senescence describes an irreversible cell cycle arrest, and in contrast to quiescence appears only in cells maintaining active metabolism or persistent oncogenic signaling, such as mediated by the best studied oncoprotein Ras. Here, oncogenic hyper-proliferation resulting in high DNA replication rates activates DNA damage responses [
At the molecular level, senescence is triggered by intracellular accumulation of oxidative damage induced by ROS, and depends on cell cycle arrest mediated by the p53 targets p21 and E2F combined in a complex signaling network with cyclin-dependent kinase p16 and retinoblastoma Rb [
During tanning or medical applications, exposure of the skin to UVB, and particularly UVA, is accompanied by a local increase in temperature. At the molecular level, hyperthermia induces denaturation of intracellular enzymes and other proteins. Although a heat shock up to 45 °C does not induce DNA damage
However, heat treatment may also induce cytoprotective responses. One of the best known mechanisms involve the induction/activation of heat shock family of proteins (HSP), particularly HSP27 and HSP70, to protect intracellular proteins from denaturation, damage and degradation [
In addition, HSP70 may indirectly affect photocarcinogenesis as it was reported to accelerate depigmentation in a mouse model of vitiligo [
Besides induction of cytoprotective HSPs, heat may also induce the activation of AKT [
Concomitantly with increased exposure to UV light human skin is increasingly exposed to infrared (IR) radiation, which contributes to about 53% of solar radiation and finds wide application in wellness facilities. Importantly, IR-A (700–1400 nm) penetrates deep into the dermis to modulate UV response. IR has been reported to diminish UVB-induced apoptosis in mouse keratinocytes
UVB and UVA radiation are broad spectrum hazards that affect exposed skin cells by induction of DNA damage, ROS formation and receptor activation, respectively. UV radiation triggers death as well as survival pathways, which balance the fate of the cell. In order to address the question which physiological response will result from UV exposure
Taken together, UV radiation triggers a huge sensitive and complex signaling network that provides a platform for numerous and variable cellular responses, that need to be taken into account when discussing e.g., formulation of sunscreens. Furthermore, many features of UV-induced cellular responses also translate to conditions that are relevant for phototherapy. Consequently, knowing more about the molecular signalling network appears to be essential not only for the therapy but also for the prevention of skin cancer.

The role of p53 and AKT/mTOR in cellular responses to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV activates both, p53 and AKT/mTOR signaling pathways. An intact p53 response in irradiated cells leads to cell cycle arrest to enable damage repair and eventually to induce apoptotic cell death when the damage is too severe and/or repair remains incomplete. Cell cycle arrest and apoptosis are negatively regulated by AKT/mTOR activity. Thus, AKT/mTOR can enforce proliferation. It also prevents autophagy, a mechanism to recycle damaged proteins or organelles that remain under the control of p53. So far, AKT/mTOR can counteract the activity of p53 in response to UV irradiation and
Oncogenic role of the AKT signaling pathway. UV-triggered RTK or functional inactivation of PTEN leads to activation of AKT. Activated AKT signals to activate the anti-apoptotic transcription factor NFκB or inhibits pro-apoptotic molecules such as the transcription factor FOXO, Bad, or caspase 9. By activation of the p53 inhibitor MDM2, AKT antagonizes p53-mediated responses:
p53-induced cell cycle control and apoptosis. UV-induced DNA damage activates ATR, ATM and DNA-PK kinases, which via check point kinases Chk1/2 signal to activate p53 and DNA damage repair. Activated p53 transcriptionally regulates the cell cycle control protein p21 and several components of the pro-apoptotic pathway. Pro-apoptotic Bax, Bak, Noxa and PUMA proteins and additionally death receptors CD95 and DR5 become up-regulated while p53 trans-represses anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL. Moreover, p53 induces apoptosis by direct interaction with the mitochondrial membrane. UV-activated AKT inhibits p53 by activation of its regulator MDM2 and/or by inhibition of Chk1/2. Above that, by inhibition of Chk1/2 AKT may interfere with DNA damage repair and directly inhibit p21.
The interplay between p53 and AKT/mTOR in regulating autophagy. UV stress-induced p53 regulates the expression of damage-regulated autophagy modulator (DRAM) and factors mediating inhibition of AKT/mTOR (in blue). Inhibition of mTOR results in activation of ULK1/2–ATG13–Fip200 autophagy initiating complex. Consequently, dissociation of Beclin-1/Bcl complex enables Beclin-1 to interact with UVRAG activating next steps in the process of autophagy. Bcl proteins can now exert their anti-apoptotic function by counteracting Bak or Bax. The pro-apoptotic function of Bax can additionally be inhibited by up-regulated UVRAG.
The balance between p53 and AKT/mTOR determines the fate of the UV-irradiated cells. p53 and AKT/mTOR mutually inhibit each other in a tightly regulated cross talk, that influences cellular responses at different levels. UV-induced p53-dependent apoptosis can be inhibited by UV- or heat-activated AKT/mTOR pathway.

How To Win Your Fantasy Football League
I've been playing fantasy football since five minutes after I first heard about it. That was 10th grade, 1992. I've played in at least one league every year since. I'm not a know-it-all like some of these pundits that make these self-proclamations on television. I can say this: "I've never finished in last place!" I may have even won a league championship or two. I've also hosted a radio show on the matter and plainly, I just love fantasy football. If you're reading this, so do you. Let's get you a championship this year! To help the cause, I've compiled for you, my 'Top 5 Fantasy Football Draft DOs and DON'Ts'.
FANTASY FOOTBALL DOs
1) Do your homework.
Rank your players according to your liking not by what some list says. If you look at enough of these lists, you will probably see some players at least 10 spots up or down from list to list. Use these as guides. In 2004 I had my eye on this second year TE that very few people had heard about. I didn't reach but I did select him as my first TE. 13 TDs by season's end and I was glad I picked Antonio Gates.
2) Do keep track of who other teams are selecting.
Most guys fill up their rosters with the amount of starters they need at each position. If you don't scoop up your QB and everyone else has at least one QB, go ahead and wait a few rounds while you stock pile your running backs and receivers. Your championship QB will still be there.
3) Do have a plan before you draft.
For example, you say to yourself that you want a RB in the first round. Go ahead and highlight your must have players at that position. If in the first round one of 'your' guys is not available then go scoop up the best player at another position like QB or WR. I think it is just fine to pick Andre Johnson for your first pick when the top 8 RBs have been scooped up. Remember, you won't have the best player at every position.
4) Do take a gamble on a rookie running back.
Every year there's always one or two that have great seasons. Between Daniel Thomas in Miami and Mark Ingram in New Orleans or perhaps one of the handful of other decent rookie backs, there's bound to be one that has a 1,000 yard season. Take a gamble for your third running back. A risk at that spot is better than a known average player in my book.
5) Do have fun!
Do whatever it takes to win by distracting your friends with booze, women, ABC's Wipeout, whatever it takes for you to be the most focused person in the draft room. Seriously, it's just a game, so make sure you have fun and enjoy the camaraderie that playing in a league brings.
FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFT DON'Ts
1) Do not draft a kicker or defense early.
Personally, I make these my last two picks. It is such a crap shoot in my mind. Sure the Jets defense is good. Should anyone have picked them in the 7th round last year? Uh, no. They were the fifth best fantasy defense. You know who was the highest scoring defense, scoring some 34 more total points? That would be the New England Patriots. Go figure.
2) Do not fall in love with your favorite team's players.
The New Orleans Saints, for example, have a great offense as we all know. But I'm sure Saints fans last year who drafted Devery Henderson, Reggie Bush and Jeremy Shockey didn't have much to show for it by season's end.
3) Do not be a follower.
Just because the first tight end goes off the board and then the next three picks follow suit, don't feel like you have to pick one because "all the good ones will be gone by the time I pick again". Stick to your game plan and only pick a TE if your guy is there and it's the round he should be selected.
4) Do not pick a rookie QB as your starter.
This is usually not an issue. Most people go with the known commodity at this position. However, with some of the recent success of rookie QBs, it may be tempting to pick one of the highly touted first year signal-callers to lead your team. Sam Bradford is the exception to the rule. There are more JaMarcus Russell's out there!
5) Do not draft 'handcuff' picks if you can avoid it.
Handcuff picks have become very popular, especially with RBs. It's when you draft a starter and his back-up so you have insurance if the starter gets injured. My thought is "why do you want a bench player on your roster?" This ain't the real world. My league is not brought to you by State Farm. Fill your roster with starters. Most of the time if your guy gets injured, then his replacement is available on the waiver wire. Scoop him up then.
So there you go, my two cents. If you win your league's championship, it may cost you the next time. Seriously, check back each week as I'll give my advice on who to start from week to week, injury updates, waiver wire pick-ups and much more.

WINDSOR JUNCTION - It was a story-book ending Sunday for Roger Sloan.
The 27-year-old golf pro from Merritt, B.C., won the first-ever Nova Scotia Open, and his first-ever Web.Com Tour title, with an eight-foot par putt on the first hole of a sudden death playoff against Derek Fathauer of Jupiter, Fla.
It was the 37th hole of the day for a couple of tough competitors, but the exhausting two-round plus session under sunny skies at Ashburn Golf Club in Windsor Junction paid off for both.
Sloan won $117,000 and Fathauer pocketed $70,200 of the $650,000 total tournament purse.
After being presented with the trophy – and a giant cheque – the inaugural Nova Scotia Open winner posed for photos on the 18th hole, in front of awe-struck admirers. That included mom Cathy, who had shown up at Ashburn earlier in the week as a surprise, and he hugged in celebration as cameras clicked away.
Sloan also took a moment to embrace – and kiss – his glistening prize made by NovaScotian Crystal.
"I don't know what feels better, to win or to finally be done today," he joked to media when he finally sat down.
Sloan, who jumps to 12th on the tour money list, said he paid little attention to the leaderboard Sunday.
"I saw a leaderboard coming down my 8th hole, and I knew that I was tied with Derek at 11-under," Sloan said.
"On the back nine, I had no idea," he added. "I knew that if I just kind of focused one shot at a time, it was just kind of take care of itself."
Sloan and Fathauer fought for the top spot through much of the final round, but spectators favoured the canuck with claps and cheers. One of Sloan's biggest challenges came on the 17th hole of the final round, when he found himself down a hill and into the hazard.
He knocked it away from some tall weeds, with a little help from the wind.
"I hit it right away," Sloan said. "As long as I could get a club on it, it was better than those weeds standing straight up."
Sloan said he had wanted to win the Nova Scotia Open since hearing "it was in the works," as he feels an attachment to this province.
His great grandfather's family emigrated from Holland through Pier 21.
"Halifax has some family history," he said. "When I got here off the plane, you just take a deep breath, and you just know you're in Canada."
Weather, sudden-death win, make for 'memorable' tournament
From Arthur's unpredictable winds to Sloan's extra-hole win, organizers say the inaugural Nova Scotia Open was a golf tournament to remember.
"We always wanted the first one to be memorable," tournament director Grant MacDonald said Sunday evening at Ashburn Golf Club in Windsor Junction, as a long day of two full 18-hole rounds, in addition to a playoff hole to determine Sloan as champion, came to a close"
The third round of the Web.Com Tour event was rescheduled from Saturday due to post-tropical storm Arthur blowing through the province, being squeezed in prior to the final round Sunday.
The tour's only Canadian tournament started Thursday as part of the week-long GOLFest Nova Scotia, and was supposed to be played over four days, not the shortened three
"We had a day cancelled, so that certainly impacted attendance," MacDonald admitted, but added "having lost a full day, the attendance has exceeded our expectations."
MacDonald's comments were backed up by buzz around the club that the gallery lining the green was busy for any Web.Com Tour stop, let alone its first time in Nova Scotia.
"The crowds today, from the minutes we opened the gates until mid-afternoon, there was a steady flow of people," he said.
The Nova Scotia Open crowd was large enough to help raise $64,000 for local charities, including $48,000 for the QEII Foundation via the Mike Weir Foundation, and another $16,000 for Feed Nova Scotia and the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame.
Spectators surrounding the 18th hole cheered loudly at that announcement, made prior to the trophy presentation.

While on the subject of switches, many recent(ish) procurve switches are super
cheap on ebay now, eg J4900B procurve 2626 well under $100. The 2626 has some
very rudimentary layer 3 features (completely lame compared to the
5304xl!) which I've never tried to use; but they are really nice otherwise,
and have loads of advanced features which we *do* use like radius-based
port-vlan assignment. I don't know why anyone would bother with Netgear et al.

I have a confession to make.
This column is close to 2 years old, and I have made a conscious effort to avoid major chain restaurants. I have covered some smaller chains, but I've been wary of the larger chains.
One of the chains I've stayed away from is El Torito. I have never had a bad experience at any of the restaurants in the Mexican-food chain. I am unaware of any disagreements with anyone associated with the chain. And I certainly am not one of those picky food critics who dismiss chain food, and rave on about exotic food trucks and mom-and-pop storefronts.
Part of my avoidance of chains has to do with trying to help the little guy. I always assume that the chains don't need the publicity. But, in this economy, I don't think anyone is comfortable enough to shun a little boost in business.
It is that notion that led me to the El Torito in Orange. I knew it was a busy restaurant, but I never understood why.
Keep in mind that this is not a restaurant column. It is a happy hour column, and my concerns are discounts, service and atmosphere – three factors that go a long way toward determining how fast you can forget your day at work.
I selected El Torito because the chain recently embraced the happy hour concept in a big way. Although I can remember El Torito happy hours back in the 1980s, I was impressed that the people who run the chain were not afraid to reinvent their own wheel.
The ads for the new El Torito happy hour tell you that they're offering $3 original gold margaritas, domestic drafts, well drinks and wine. But what the marketing campaign doesn't tell you is that El Torito's happy hour, at least at the Orange link in the chain, is one big party.
The bar area and patio fill up early, and the store gets credit for setting the right tone for people to relax after work. There is a roving band of mariachis serenading the crowd, a balloon guy works the youngsters in the room and employees were handing out sombreros on the night I was there.
The discounts in the bar are substantial, with prices reduced on at least two dozen items. The hours are generous, with discounts in effect from 2-8 p.m., Mondays-Fridays.

Sorry, the eBook that you are looking for is not available right now.
We did a search for other eBooks with a similar title, however there were no matches. You can try selecting from a similar category, click on the author's name, or use the search box above to find your eBook.
Three adult-themed humorous short stories explore the world of the slightly bizarre.
In Club Starburst Philip Dorfman opens an unusual Gentlemen's Club, complete with a strange asssortment of characters which include a one-eyed peg-legged pirate, an enormous Melanesian woman bouncer, one out-of-work Broadway choreographer, and a mermaid, along with several other assorted misfits. Throw in a sumo wrestler and a few members of the Planned Parenthood League, and the reader can visit a gentlemen's dub unlike any other.
Max, Sailor Max is a sea tale of sorts, and a rather tall one at that. Max Brandon sails from Portland, Oregon, in his trimaran, Sly Mongoose, intent upon pursuing adventure and any women on his way to Mexico. Alas, each encounter with the fairer sex leaves him deflated until he becomes the owner of an inflatable doll who possesses unusual properties. An imaginary 18th century pirate friend who comes aboard complicates matters even further. It's the armchair sailor's adventure fantasy come true.
Most sexually active adults have harbored secret fantasies of one sort or another. In Totally Climactic Skip Parker decides to play out one of his. As one might guess, things do not work out quite like he imagined, but the results are truly "climactic." Readers are cautioned not to attempt fulfilling this fantasy at home.

Two Worlds: The Temptation - Small Talk @ Official Site
Reality Pump's Mirek Dymek has provided a short update at the Two Worlds site, titled Small Talk. Here's the whole post:
Sometimes small talk with a game developer can bring some interesting new info to light! We were able to get Mirek, Head of Reality Pump, to actually sit down with us again for a few minutes - and here's the gist of what he told us. The first keyword he used that made our ears perk up was "Cave City" - and we wanted to know more! He wouldn't let us in on too much... but he DID hint that an entire city will be located in a huge cave near the coast!
The cave has a sea entrance which can be reached by swimming out from the coast... and a landbound entrance, which is a secret passage alongside an underground river. It doesn't matter which route you choose, your hero's still gonna get his hair wet! And this takes us directly to the next item from Mirek's Infobox.
The programmers are busy working on special Shader models for hair. Besides the individual reflections of particular hairstyles, the realistic physical movement of pigtails, beards, etc. is high on the list of detail perfection. This has already happened with weapons and armor, so now the team can get down to creating various different looks. According to Mirek, five special chainmail sets of armor have been finished - they'll be reserved for rewards during special missions.

Federal government frontbencher Bill Shorten has rejected suggestions Labor powerbroker Mark Arbib is a spy for the US.
The comments follow the release of leaked diplomatic cables that show the US embassy in Canberra has used Mr Arbib as a secret source.
"I completely reject the idea that he is a spy," Mr Shorten told Sky News on Thursday. "I just think that's nonsense."
Senator Arbib was "a very conscientious minister", Mr Shorten said. "He puts a lot of effort into his portfolios and any other proposition about him just isn't correct at all."
Mr Shorten also played down reports that Mr Arbib forewarned US officials in October 2009 that then-prime minister Kevin Rudd may face a leadership challenge.
"I think that the commentary I've seen this morning in the newspapers is dinner party gossip masquerading as US intelligence," he said.
"I think each week someone's got to send a report of to America. So they jot down gossip and conversation.
"I just don't think what I've seen today is any more than what any journalist in the press gallery would already know, indeed what half of Australia might already know."
Senator Arbib was instrumental in former prime minister Kevin Rudd's deposition in June.
He is identified in the latest WikiLeaks release as a valued source of information on Labor politics and a supporter of Australia's military commitment in Iraq and the war on terror, The Age newspaper reported on Thursday.
The cable is another criticism of Mr Rudd, who is now foreign minister.
"(Senator Arbib) understands the importance of supporting a vibrant relationship with the US while not being too deferential," an embassy profile on Senator Arbib from July 2009 says.
"We have found him personable, confident and articulate.
"He has met with us repeatedly throughout his political rise."
The documents also describe Senator Arbib as "an influential factional operator who has forged strong political connections with Rudd".
"We have been told that Rudd respects Arbib's political expertise, and a contact noted that Arbib is brought into Rudd's inner circle when politically important decisions are made," it said.
"Arbib is said to be loyal to, but frank with, Rudd, and is one of Rudd's closest advisers. Yet, publicly, Arbib has denied being part of Rudd's inner circle."
Mr Rudd's reputation as a micromanager is again confirmed by one cable which said: "Rudd's staff would like to get their boss to spend less time on foreign policy and delegate more, but that they recognise that this is a hopeless task."
The cables also reveal that in October 2009, when Mr Rudd's popularity as prime minister was waning, Senator Arbib told US diplomats that Mr Rudd wanted "to ensure that there are viable alternatives to Gillard within the Labor Party to forestall a challenge".
Mr Rudd's brother, Greg Rudd, had told embassy officers a similar story, The Age said.

NGTC Foundation Receives Literacy Grant
North Georgia Technical College receives a grant to support the school's literacy programs.
Recently, the North Georgia Technical College Foundation announced that it received a $7,000 grant from the Dollar General Literacy Organization to support its literacy programs.
Specifically, the grant will provide scholarships to qualified GED students to cover the required $160 testing fee.
North Georgia Technical College Foundation Director Cynthia Brown said that the Foundation is thrilled to receive the $7,000 grant from Dollar General.
She said this grant will allow 43 students to have access to the $160 GED exam.
According to North Georgia Technical College, students with financial needs must be recommended by their instructors and must complete an application in order to be eligible to receive the scholarship.
Brown went on to say that through generous donations such as this one, the Foundation has been able to assist almost 550 students with their GED testing fees in the last four years.
She added that almost every one of these GED graduates has either gone to work, is continuing their education or both.
Established in 2000, the North Georgia Technical College Foundation is a non-profit 501c3 organization governed by business and community leaders from North Georgia Technical College's eight-county service area.
The mission of the North Georgia Technical College Foundation is to create awareness of financial needs of the College and encourage donations of resources to assure quality education for its students.
School officials said the focus of the Foundation is to bridge the financial gap between resources available to students and completion of their program of study.
According to North Georgia Tech, applications for need-based scholarships have more than doubled during the past year because of the high unemployment rate, reduction in other aid, and cost increases for tuition, fees and books.
Meanwhile, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation has awarded more than $81 million in grants to nonprofit organizations since 1993, helping more than 4.7 million individuals take their first steps toward literacy or continued education.

The Pyithu Hluttaw has unanimously approved a motion to form an independent commission to investigate the Letpadaung copper project in Sagaing Region and whether a planned expansion should be allowed to proceed.
The mine has been the focus of months of protests, with residents angry at the confiscation of thousands of acres of farmland for the expansion, which has been halted because of the unrest.
The extraordinary motion, presented on Friday, November 23, the final day of the fifth session of parliament, was sponsored by National League for Democracy member Daw Khin San Hlaing, the representative for Pale in Sagaing Region.
While Minister for Defence Lieutenant General Wai Lwin defended the conduct of the project's investors, including military-owned Union of Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited (UMEHL), and told the hluttaw it was not necessary to form the committee, he was overruled.
The motion called for the formations of "an independent, national-level commission composed of individuals and organisations trusted by the public and local and foreign experts and organisations", which would investigate the Letpadaung expansion, as well as existing mines at Sabetaung and Kyisintaung, and then issue public findings and recommendations.
The motion also called on the "Pyithu Hluttaw to urge the president to assess whether [the Letpadaung expansion] should be allowed to continue and, if allowed, how it should be done" based on the findings of the commission.
The commission should consider the effects of the project on society and environment, the measurable and non-measurable short- and long-term benefits for the state and the people, and will of the public, the motion said.
The Letpadaung deposit has 1.478 billion tonnes of copper ore with a copper content of 0.38 percent, as well as about 577 million tonnes with 0.44pc copper, according to 2007 estimates, making it the largest deposit in Southeast Asia.
In 1996, Canadian company Ivanhoe and the Ministry of Mines formed a joint venture called Myanmar Ivanhoe Copper Company Limited with an equity ratio of 50:50 and produced copper from the Sabetaung, Sabetaung South and Kyisintaung deposits.
In 2006, it produced as much as 39,000 tonnes of pure copper and in 2006 and 2007 earned US$112 million and $160 million respectively.
After Ivanhoe divested its share, the ownership "fell into the hands of" UMEHL, hluttaw representatives were told, and more than 14,000 acres were acquired for the Letpadaung expansion and villages, monasteries and schools were forced to move.
"Though peasants were given compensation of three times the value of cultivated crops, social life, health and the power of human spirit deteriorated. The environment was badly damaged. So the local people strongly protested against it and people all over the country extensively supported their objection," the motion said.
In his clarification regarding the motion, Lt Gen Wai Lwin said that profit from the project was shared between the government (16.55pc), UMEHL (13.15pc) and Myanmar Yang Tse Copper Ltd (12.63pc), a subsidiary of Chinese arms manufacturer Norinco.
The other 57.67pc covers production costs, including investment, the minister said.
Profit is calculated based on annual production of 25,000 tonnes and a London Metals Exchange price of $6250 a tonne. Last week copper closed the exchange at $7716 a tonne.
The minister also said the investors are "providing social, educational and healthcare assistance to local people" and "using world-standard management practices" to avoid environmental and other damage.
Because the investors will "systematically execute [the project] to honour the contract and for long-term profit, it is not necessary to form a commission", the minister said.
Rather than put the proposal to a vote, Pyithu Hluttaw Speaker Thura U Shwe Mann asked three times if there were any representatives who objected to approving it and none responded, including the 25pc from the military, ensuring its passage through the hluttaw.

Jurors who heard how Weldon Angelos sold marijuana from his Salt Lake City apartment - where he also kept a gun, sometimes strapped to his ankle - think he should serve 15 to 18 years in prison.
But prosecutors are insistent the just punishment is a virtual life sentence, a minimum mandatory term of about 63 years for Angelos' convictions for drug trafficking and weapons possession.
The man in the middle, U.S. District Judge Paul Cassell, on Tuesday delayed a decision on Angelos' fate so he could ponder the justice of imposing such a stiff sentence. He set a hearing for Nov. 16, where he could mete out the mandatory term set by Congress or strike down mandatory minimums as unconstitutional, at least in his courtroom.
The defendant's wife, Zandrah Angelos, said she was relieved that Cassell was taking more time.
"It is my husband's life that's on the line," she said outside the federal courthouse, where Families Against Mandatory Minimums, a national group, had organized a news conference.
Cassell, a law-and-order type and a victims' rights advocate when he was a law professor at the University of Utah, agreed that Angelos' crimes are serious, but had voiced concerns soon after the defendant's conviction about the tough required sentence.
At a hearing Tuesday before a packed courtroom, the judge questioned the prosecutor and defense attorney about the fairness of keeping Angelos, 25, behind bars into old age when crimes that could be considered much more serious are punished with lighter terms. He said he has surveyed the jurors who convicted Angelos and the nine who responded favored a sentence of 15 to 18 years.
In keeping with his teaching background, Cassell distributed a list comparing mandatory sentences for different crimes.
"I don't think there's any reason to believe that Utahns are particularly soft on crime," he said, adding that the mandatory minimum for Angelos is more than the sentence for a murderer.
Defense attorney Jerome Mooney also made that point, saying even a defendant convicted of capital murder could get a sentence with the possibility of parole. That could free the state inmate in 12 years, he said.
"He's likely to be out walking the streets long before anyone has an opportunity to help Mr. Angelos," Mooney said.
In addition, Angelos probably would serve 5 to 7 years if he were convicted in state court of the same federal offenses, he said.
But assistant U.S. attorney Robert Lund said Congress had approved minimum mandatory sentences because of the seriousness of mixing drug sales and guns. He said Cassell was comparing apples to oranges by looking at sentences for a defendant convicted of one count of a crime when Angelos had been convicted of multiple counts.
"He committed three separate crimes with firearms," Lund said.
Each time, the risk of injury or death went up astronomically, he said.
Angelos, founder of a Utah record label, was convicted in December of 16 counts of drug trafficking, weapons possession and money laundering. The gun convictions carry a mandatory five years for the first count and 25 years for each subsequent count, to be served consecutively - meaning, by law, he must spend at least 55 years in prison.
With a required minimum for the other counts stacked on top, Angelos faces a 63-year stretch behind bars.
Cassell asked the prosecutor and defense attorney in February to submit briefs exploring the constitutionality of such a stiff term. He pointed out that an aircraft hijacker with a previously clean record can serve no more than 24 1/2 years in prison, while a terrorist who detonates a bomb in a public place can receive at most a 19 1/2 -year sentence.
A group of 29 former federal judges and prosecutors joined in the debate with a friend-of-the-court brief asking Cassell to reject the mandatory term for Angelos. They insist that the punishment violates the Constitution by taking sentencing authority away from judges and essentially giving it to prosecutors, who wield tremendous power to decide which charges to bring.
Angelos had a clean record before his conviction except for a minor nonviolent juvenile offense, according to the friend-of-the-court brief. It notes the defendant originally was charged with only one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking, but after he refused a plea deal with a 15-year sentence, prosecutors asked a grand jury to return an indictment with additional charges.
The defendant, founder of Extravagant Records, which produces rap and hip hop, has indicated that the gun was for his own protection. Witnesses at the trial testified that the music producer earned the money legitimately that he was accused of laundering.
The U.S. Attorney's Office, though, says Angelos' juvenile conviction was a firearms charge. As an adult, he affiliated with a violent street gang and had a security system and body armor at his home, tools of a drug dealer, prosecutors say.
"He made a ton of money doing it," Lund said at Tuesday's hearing.
At the news conference after the hearing, Mooney said he was encouraged by the questions Cassell had raised. He said the judge, who in June had declared federal sentencing guidelines unconstitutional, could do the same with minimum mandatories.
Speakers at the event rallied in support of rewriting federal laws requiring minimum mandatories. Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson said stiff terms can be an injustice to defendants and their families, as well as taxpayers who foot the bill for keeping prisoners behind bars for years.
"It is clear that minimum mandatory sentencing is a public policy failure," Anderson said.

That's where TPC's price/performance measurement becomes important. It essentially tells you how much performance you get at a given workload per dollar spent buying the system. The intent is to prevent hardware vendors from gaming the system by simply reporting astronomical performance figures. Sure, a fully loaded server from Vendor X might yield three times better performance on a particular workload compared to a bare-bones model from Vendor Y -- but Vendor Y's server comes in at a quarter of the price. Factoring in those costs gives a data center operator more information to work with.
Notably, the TPC benchmarks also take into account the type of server OS and database being used, which is highly relevant. Some workloads perform better on certain platforms than on others.
MPG for the datacenter
That brings us to the newly introduced TPC-Energy spec. TPC-Energy adds yet another important piece of information to the equation: which system delivers the highest level of performance, measuring in transactions per second, using the least amount of energy.
TPC-Energy and other TPC specs aren't without their drawbacks. To their credit, they're highly detailed, which means you can get price and performance information about specific systems running a particular OS and a particular database, which is great if vendors report results for setups that match what you need for your own data center. That's correct: TPC test results are reported by vendors, as setting up these types of tests in-house, comparing the endless combinations of hardware and software, is prohibitive for all but the largest organizations.
Thus, vendors crunch the numbers themselves, adhering to the TPC benchmark standards. A vendor can then decide whether to submit their results to the TPC, which are audited and posted for public viewing at tpc.org. You're at the mercy of vendors to report numbers applicable to your data center's situation. If you see that IBM reports data on a system that matches your needs but, say, HP doesn't, does it mean that HP hasn't conducted the test -- or that HP has conducted it but its numbers fell short of IBM's?

A little background:
I've been playing with lots of the features of
m0n0wall, and testing various configurations, using a cable modem and
a dsl connection in my home for several months now. The cable modem
connection provides the IP address via DHCP, and tends to change the IP
only when the DHCP client is offline for a few days. The DSL provides
the IP address via PPPoE, and they like the change the IP address within
a 2 to 4 week period of time.
Pre-1.0 release, I had an IPSec tunnel working between the cable modem
and the DSL. I even upgraded the 4801 on the cable modem connection over
the VPN connection. This worked great, and the VPN kept working after
the upgrade. The DSL end was a 4511-20, and wouldn't upgrade due to
insufficient memory. I downloaded the configuration, and plugged in the
test 4801 as a replacement for the 4511, and restored the configuration
to it. Everything seemed to be fine. I don't remember if I tested the
IPSec tunnel at that point or not.
I later unconfigured that IPSec tunnel while I was trying to configure
IPSec to a FreeBSD machine I have at a colo facility. I was never
successful getting that to work, and sent an email to this list asking
for help but never got any helpful response.
Fast forward to this weekend:
I'm helping someone set up a network that is connected via a fractional T1
that is shared with voice traffic for his business. The ISP is providing
the voice and data via a router device that does it all in one little box.
He wants to host his domains on his own server via this connection.
I've convinced him he needs a firewall with DMZ capabilities, and he's
agreed to let me set up m0n0wall for him. We decided to use a machine
he had that has a Cyrix C3 processor running at 800MHz with 512M of RAM.
We removed the hard disk and configured it to boot from cdrom and ignore
the floppy for boot.
Here's the WAN network information:
XX.YY.148.216/29 network
XX.YY.148.217 router controlled by ISP
XX.YY.148.218 current linksys NAT box for his LAN usage
XX.YY.148.219 IP he wishes to use for the web server in the DMZ
XX.YY.148.220 IP I'm using for m0n0wall box WAN interface while testing
XX.YY.148.221 proxy arp on m0n0wall for testing
XX.YY.148.222 proxy arp on m0n0wall for testing
XX.YY.148.223 broadcast
I'm currently testing with the m0n0wall box on the .220 IP with plans to
move it to .218 when we replace the linksys box with the m0n0wall box.
There is a hardware device behind the linksys that communicates with a
system in a remote LAN via a proprietary encrypted TCP stream and so we
can't just swap things around arbitrarily. Any outage of more than 30
seconds will cause alarms to sound all over the place (this hardware
deals with security alarm monitoring equipment). The source IP of the
traffic from this box must be the .218 address.
He already has all the DNS records pointing to the .219 address for his
web and email services. These services have been down for several months
since he stopped using another ISP after they were compromised (causing a
loss of his data on their end, but he has backups of his own). He wants
them all back up by the end of this week. I don't blame him; he's paying
a lot of money for this fractional T1, and wants to get full benefit from
I first thought that bridging WAN with DMZ and enabling bridge filtering
would do the trick. I wasn't able to make this work. Then I tried
using a private network range on the DMZ, but so far that hasn't worked
right either.
m0n0wall WAN interface (vr0) is XX.YY.148.220. It has a proxy arp for
XX.YY.148.219. I've verified that this is working using tcpdump on
a machine on a hub between the router and the m0n0wall. m0n0wall LAN
interface (dc0) is 192.168.1.1/24. DHCP is enabled, and dns forwarding
is enabled. m0n0wall OPT1 aka DMZ interface (vx0) is 192.168.2.1/24.
Server in DMZ is 192.168.2.109. My laptop plugged into LAN for testing
always gets 192.168.1.199 (it's the only client on the LAN for now).
My laptop at 192.168.1.199 can access 192.168.2.109 completely with
no filtering apparent as expected. DMZ can't initiate a connection
to anywhere. Setting up a NAT inbound connection for port 22 on the
WAN address forwarded to 192.168.2.109 works fine. Setting up a NAT
inbound connection for port 22 or 80 or anything on the XX.YY.148.219
address (which is configured in the "NAT->Server NAT" section of the GUI)
does not work at all.
I finally got tired of standing in front of the keyboard and monitor of
this setup in a cigarette smoke filled room, and tried to set up a IPSec
tunnel back to my DSL line so I could work from my laptop at home to get
this working. I followed the same options I did when I first set up the
IPSec tunnel between my cable and dsl connection, with no joy. I also
set up a temporary inbound nat of port 22 on the WAN address to go to the
DMZ host, and also another rule to permit all DMZ addressess full access
to the LAN addresses (so I can access the m0n0wall web gui remotely).
After having no luck getting the IPSec tunnel going between the T1
connected m0n0wall and my DSL connection, I tried to delete everything to
do with that connection and create a new tunnel between the cable modem
and the dsl modem again. When that didn't work, I tried cable modem to
T1 machine, again with no luck. I tried all the different options
available in the GUI, making sure both ends matched good, and still no
luck. Since this was so trivial the first time I did it, I think
something in 1.0 (which all these machines are using) must be broke for
creating new IPSec tunnels.
This is the IPSec error I keep getting:
racoon: ERROR: pfkey.c:741:pfkey_timeover(): 126.96.36.199 give up to
get IPsec-SA due to time up to wait.
I've already spent more than 20 hours trying to get this guy's m0n0wall
set up with LAN, DMZ, and WAN, with no luck at all. I've also spent many
hours battling this new IPSec tunnel problem. I've far surpassed my
frustration level, and I'm hoping for some help from the list. The IPSec
problem is a lower priority for me than the DMZ problem.
The final network design for this guy needs to be like this:
T1------+ router XX.YY.148.217/29 |
| WAN hub XX.YY.148.216/29 |
| (vr0)
| m0n0wall XX.YY.148.218/29 |
| proxy arp: .219 thru .222 |
| (dc0) | (vx0) +---------------------------+
| +-------+ LAN switch 192.168.1.0/24 |
| +---------------------------+
| DMZ switch 192.168.2.0/24 |
| Server: 192.168.2.109/24 |
The hub and switches shown do not have IP addresses, and are unmanaged.
Traffic for XX.YY.148.219 ports 80 and 443 need to go to 192.168.2.109.
Traffic from LAN to DMZ needs to pass unmolested.
DMZ needs DNS service. It also needs NAT access to the net so that
updates can be installed on it. It runs RedHat Linux. Someone else
has the nightmare of maintaining the machine, I'm just in charge of the
network and network security.
If any other information is required, I'm willing to share anything that
won't give away identifying information about the client's company.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get this client's network set
up correctly with m0n0wall actually passing traffic through for the proxy
arp addresses?
Thanks in advance,

Construction work is about to start on a controversial brickworks on land owned by Perth Airport.
The brickworks received federal government approval last August, despite strong opposition from local residents, green groups and local federal Liberal MP Stuart Henry who petitioned then Environment Minister Ian Campbell on the issue.
Perth Airport on Wednesday announced construction company BGC will soon start preliminary earthworks on the 32ha site.
The airport's general manager property Neil Kidd said the brickworks would comply with the more than 60 conditions set by Senator Campbell, including a Construction Environment Plan and Environmental Management System.
"We don't see any difficulty in implementing the minister's conditions," Mr Kidd said.
Opposition to the brickworks has centred on air safety, health issues and concern the surrounding high conservation value bushland would be damaged.
But Mr Kidd said the concerns were unfounded.
"This particular parcel we're actually talking about was a golf course that had been parkland cleared so I don't think there's any concern."

The early blight fungus can overwinter on potato refuse in the garden, in soil, on tubers, and on other
solanaceous plants. Infection occurs when spores of the fungus come in contact with susceptible leaves
and sufficient free moisture is present. Spore germination and infection are favored by warm weather and
wet conditions from dew, rain, or sprinkler irrigation. Alternate wet and dry periods with relatively
dry, windy conditions favor spore dispersal and disease spread. Tubers can be infected as they are lifted
through the soil at harvest. If sufficient moisture is present, spores germinate and infect the tubers.
