If I put a Soekris vpn1411 board in my Soekris net4501, will m0n0wall
start offloading the VPN functions to that processor? My current net4501
box is capping on CPU usage because of recent increases in IPSec and
PPTP VPN traffic. So my thoughts are that I either need to upgrade to
the net4801 or add the vpn1401 or vpn1411 expansion board to my existing
net4501 so the VPN processing will offload to that board. I want to
first make sure that m0n0wall will use that board if I get it.

EMIRATES' new services from Dubai to Geneva (launched in June), Copenhagen (launched on August 1) and St Petersburg (starting November 1) are expected to snare even more of the Indonesian economy and premium outbound market to Europe.
Mohammad Al-Nahari, Emirates country manager for Indonesia, said: "The new services follow higher demand, not just from business travellers but also leisure travellers, and will boost the number of Indonesians travelling to these destinations and vice-versa."
Al-Nahari added that the new Copenhagen services would serve as a gateway to Scandinavian destinations. "The route is already proving popular, demonstrated by the number of passengers from Jakarta booked on the first week of flights," he said.
Al-Nahari said Emirates started to see significant growth from the longhaul corporate outbound market after introducing twice-daily direct Jakarta-Dubai flights in March last year.
Emirates sales manager Indonesia, Ilonka Leiwakabessy, said: "With our aircraft capacity between 385 and 400 seats in two classes, our average load factor is between 75 per cent and 85 per cent, or about 800 passengers a day."
Leiwakabessy said Indonesia's growing premium-class market, especially from the corporate sector, had boosted Emirates' business-class load factor by between 75 and 100 per cent compared to 2010.
Asked if there were plans to increase capacity or introduce three-class configuration services from Jakarta, Al-Nahari said the airline would first concentrate on maximising available services.

My Dating Resolution: Make The First Move
In the interest of beginning the year with a little self-reflection, I've taken some time to ponder the state of my love life. The landscape is as such: lots of nice guys on the horizon. I said horizon. They are watching me from a distance. Sniffing around my way. Saying howdy. Scuffling away without writing their name on my dance card, if you will.
The good news is, I've finally started to attract the kinds of guys I want to. The high-quality ones with good hearts. Only problem is, these guys tend to be more reserved (or maybe respectful?) than the guys I'm used to dating. In the past, the guys who've scored dates with me are the guys who approach without hesitation.
I've become accustomed to an old-fashioned dating model where I smile, flirt shamelessly, drop breadcrumbs of interest, perform my gender normative role as female and wait for the guy to follow the trail. In the past, I've lived by the dating credo, "If he likes me, he'll come to me."
As I took stock of the potential suitors on the horizon, the logic didn't seem to fit. I could think of reasons, all totally legit, why each of them might refrain from asking me out, even if I dropped all the necessary breadcrumbs. My stringent, generalized dating credo suddenly seemed pointless.
There is one guy in particular I've felt drawn to. I've known him socially, peripherally for a while. Every time I've seen him at events or friends' parties, we've had good conversations. I've sensed he was interested, but then … nada. I asked a friend if she thought I should do something about this guy already.
"Ask him out," she said.
"I would never," I gasped.
"Because I'm old-fashioned," I justified.
"But you are a modern, forward-thinking woman in every other way. You want a modern relationship. So why not?"
I really considered her question. Why do I hold on so tightly to my rule? I'm not old-fashioned. That's a lie. It's because I'm afraid of being rejected. Waiting to be asked out is my way of controlling the situation, my way of ensuring that I am liked, that I don't make a fool out of myself. And this has absolutely nothing to do with gender normative dating behavior. This has to do with my insecurity, which comes with being burned so many times in the past. It's how I protect myself. But do I really need this protection anymore?
I am hardly special in feeling this way. Every person is fearful when taking a risk. Every person — or at least most — has had their heart broken. Even the men I might want to date. They may be just as scared of being rejected, maybe even more so. I had a profound moment of empathy for men, being expected to always be the ones taking the risks. That doesn't seem fair.
I say I want to date a guy with a good heart. But these guys with good hearts might find it more challenging to put themselves out there. In the book I'm reading right now, This Is Where I Leave You, the main character, whose wife left him for another man, is entertaining the thought of approaching a woman and says, "If you want to know where all the good guys are, we're standing right in front of you, lacking the balls to actually make ourselves heard."
I thought about the guy standing right in front of me not making himself heard. I don't want to miss him. I can make things easier for him. That was when I decided to toss my lame rule out forever and only use it if I felt it applied. From here on out, I, Ami Angelowicz, will make the first move if the situation calls for it. I will take the risk. I will withstand the rejection if it befalls. I can handle it.
I opened my computer and emailed the man in question. I asked him if he wanted to have a drink sometime. Good news! He said yes. And let the record reflect that he thought it was "hot" that I asked him out.
So far, so good.

The interest would be paid without deduction, but the holders of rente would have to pay the tax subsequently.
rente, name given to the French funds, or income derivable from them.
"Cattle had he enough and rente," cattle probably meaning property (chattels), and rente income.
He prophesied the rente conversion scheme and the four per cent.
What puzzles us is, that the rente is at 53—why then was this new loan issued at 42?
The Hungarian rente had at that time just been introduced into the market, and Mr. Dumany predicted for it a fair success.

Have you always wanted to know how to understand a company's annual report and financial statements? In this series of lessons, we set out to teach you how to take the financial statements of a company and carefully analyze them to determine what the stock is truly "worth". This allows you make better investing decisions by helping to avoid the costly mistake of purchasing a company when its share price is too high.

Eventually, by reading, printing, and studying these lessons, you will be able to pick up a balance sheet and truly understand what the numbers mean. At the end of each lesson there is a quiz to test your understanding of what you learned.

In this first installment, we are going to look at why the stock market exists and explain how a business goes from being a small, family-owned company to a corporation with publicly traded stock.

Financial Terms
Earnings per Share: The amount of profit to which each share is entitled.
Going Public: Slang for when a company is planning an IPO.
IPO: Short for Initial Public Offering. An IPO is when a company sells stock in itself for the first time.
Market Cap: The amount of money you would have to pay if you bought ever share of stock in a company. (To calculate market cap, multiply the number of shares by the price per share.) Short for Market Capitalization.
Share: A share represents an investor's ownership in a "share" of the profits, losses, and assets of a company. It is created when a business carves itself into pieces and sells them to investors in exchange for cash.
Ticker Symbol: A short group of letters that represents a particular stock (e.g., "Coca Cola" is referred to as "KO".) Underwriter: The financial institution or investment bank that is doing all of the paperwork and orchestrating a company's IPO.
Introduction
The stock market can be a great source of confusion for many people. The average person generally falls into one of two categories. The first believe investing is a form of gambling; they are certain that if you invest, you will more than likely end up losing your money. Often these fears are driven by the personal experiences of family members and friends who suffered similar fates or lived through the Great Depression. These feelings are not ground in facts and are the result of personal experience. Someone who believes along this line of thinking simply does not understand what the stock market is or why it exists.
The second category consists of those who know they should invest for the long-run, but don\u0092t know where to begin. Many feel like investing is some sort of black-magic that only a few people hold the key to. More often than not, they leave their financial decisions up to professionals, and cannot tell you why they own a particular stock or mutual fund. Their investment style is blind faith or limited to \u0093this stock is going up. We should buy it.\u0094 This group is in far more danger than the first. They invest like the masses and then wonder why their results are mediocre (or in some cases, devastating).

In this series of lessons, I set out to prove that the average investor can evaluate the balance sheet of a company, and following a few relatively simple calculations, arrive at what they believe is the \u0093real\u0094, or intrinsic value of the company. This will allow a person to look at a stock and know that it is worth, for instance, $40 per share. This gives each investor the freedom to know when a security is undervalued, increasing their long-term returns substantially.

Before we examine how to value a company, it is important to understand the nature of businesses and the stock market. This is the cornerstone of learning to invest well.

Business is the cornerstone of every economy. Almost every large corporation started out as a small, mom-and-pop operation and through growth, became financial giants. Wal-Mart, Dell Computer, and McDonald\u0092s had combined profits of $10.34 billion this year. Wal-Mart was originally a single-store business in Arkansas. Dell computer began with Michael Dell selling computers out of his college dorm room. McDonald\u0092s was once a small restaurant no one had heard of. How did these small companies grow from tiny, hometown enterprises to three of the largest businesses in the American economy? They raised capital by selling stock in themselves.

When a company is growing, the biggest hurdle is often raising enough money to expand. Owners generally have two options to overcome this. They can either borrow the money from a bank or venture capitalist, or sell part of the business to investors and use the money to fund growth. Taking out a loan is common, and very useful \u0096 to a point. Banks will not always lend money to companies, and over-eager managers may try to borrow too much initially, wrecking the balance sheet. Factors such as these often provoke owners of small businesses to issue stock. In exchange for giving up a tiny fraction of control, they are given cash to expand the business. In addition to money that doesn\u0092t have to be paid back, \u0093going public\u0094 [as its called when a company sells stock in itself for the first time], gives the business managers and owners a new tool: instead of paying cash for an acquisition, they can use their own stock.

To better understand how issuing stock works, let\u0092s look at a fictional company \u0093ABC Furniture, Inc.\u0094

After getting married, a young couple decided to start a business. It would allow them to work for themselves, as well as arrange their hours around their family. Both husband and wife have always had a strong interest in furniture, so they decide to open a store in their hometown. After borrowing money from the bank, they name their company \u0093ABC Furniture\u0094 and go into business. The first few years, the company makes little profit because the earnings are plowed back into the store, buying additional inventory and adding onto the building to accommodate the increasing level of merchandise.

Ten years later, the business has grown rapidly. The couple has managed to pay off the company\u0092s debt, and profits are over $500,000 per year. Convinced that ABC Furniture could do as well in several larger, neighboring cities, the couple decides they want to open two new branches. They research their options and find out it is going to cost over $4 million dollars to expand. Not wanting to borrow money and be strapped with interest payments again, they decide to sell stock in the company.

The company approaches an \u0093underwriter\u0094, such as Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan, who determines the value of the business. As mentioned before, ABC Furniture earns $500,000 after-tax profit each year. It also has a book value of $3 million [the value of the land, building, inventory, etc. subtracted by the company\u0092s debt] The underwriter researches and discovers the average furniture stock is trading at 20 times earnings [a concept we will discuss more in-depth later].

What does this mean? Simply, you would multiply the earnings of $500,000 by 20. In ABC\u0092s case, the answer is $10 million. Add book value, and you arrive at $13 million. This means, in the underwriter\u0092s opinion, ABC Furniture, is worth thirteen million dollars.

Our young couple, now in their 30\u0092s, must decide how much of the company they are willing to sell. Right now, they own 100% of the business. The more they sell, the more cash they\u0092ll raise, but they will also be giving up a larger part of their ownership. As the company grows, that ownership will be worth more, so a wise entrepreneur would not sell more than he or she had to.

After discussing it, the couple decides to keep 60% of the company and sell the other 40% to the public as stock. [This means that they will keep $7.8 million worth of the business. Because they own a majority of the stock, they will still be in control of the store.] The other 40% they sold to the public is worth $5.2 million. The underwriters find investors who are willing to buy the stock, and give a check for $5.2 million to the couple.

Although they own less of the company, their stake will hopefully grow faster now that they have the means to expand rapidly. Using the money from their public offering, ABC Furniture successfully opens the two new stores and have $1.2 million in cash left over [remember it was going to cost $4 million for the new stores]. Business is even better in the new branches, which are in more populated cities. The two new stores both make around $800,000 a year in profit each, with the old store still making the same $500,000. Between the three stores, ABC now makes an annual profit of $2.1 million dollars.

This is great news because, although they don\u0092t have the freedom to simply close shop anymore, the business is now valued at $51 million dollars [multiply the new earnings of $2.1 million per year by 20 and add the book value of $9 million; there are three stores now, instead of one]. The couple\u0092s 60% stake is worth $30.6 million dollars.

With this example, it\u0092s easy to see how small businesses seem to explode in value when they go public. The original owners of the company are, in a sense, wealthier overnight. Before, the amount they could take out of the business was limited to the profit. Now, they are free to sell their shares in the company at any time, raising cash quickly.

This process is the basis of Wall Street. The stock market is, at its core, a large auction where ownership in companies just like ABC Furniture is sold to the highest bidder each day. Because of human nature \u0096 the emotions of fear and greed \u0096 a company can sell for far more or less than its intrinsic value. The good investor\u0092s job is to identify those companies that are selling below their true worth and buy as much as they can.

Plane sinks into melted runway?
What do you think....true of false?
From Jalopnik:
Absolutely true and I have seen similar problems.
Reported in the Washington Post and USA Today. http://content.usatoday.com/communit...of-the-heat-/1
Do they use different tarmac at hot airports like Phoenix and Tucson?
Tarmac is actually a short way of saying Tar + Macadam or sort of an asphalt. Tarmac has been "generalized" to mean any airport paving like Kleenex is used for tissues.
Just about all high temp locations, and others, use concrete, not "Tarmac". I have no clue where on Reagan the incident took place but it might have been at a part of the terminal area that was actually Tarmac and not concrete since Reagan National is so old. They also sometimes cover the underlying concrete with asphalt since it is easier to maintain and repair.
The Commuter slots were likely paved to support lighter weight aircraft and as commuters (both airplanes and people:D) grew in size, they got too heavy for the paving on a really hot day.

When the new pope emerges into the spotlight, the eyes of the world will be on him.
Everyone will be focused on his face, trying to get an impression of the personality of the man chosen to lead the Catholic Church.
But the Gammarelli family will be looking more closely at his white robes, checking to see how well they fit.
As papal tailors for generations, it is their job to make sure the newly elected pope has an outfit to wear.
Hanging up close to the Sistine Chapel will be white vestments in three sizes, ready to fit a pope who is small, medium or large.
"We received the order from the Vatican after the death of John Paul II," says Lorenzo Gammarelli.
"Four tailors have been working on it full-time, all week. We have made vestments of wool and silk in each size, so there are six sets in all."
The firm is famously discreet about its distinguished customers.
But family pride was indulged by displaying the finished papal garments in the window, before they were sent to the Vatican.
Not, of course, that there was anything to identify the vestments, apart from the fact they were white.
The new pope will almost certainly be one of the 115 cardinals who enter the conclave on 18 April.
There will be only a short time between the white smoke that announces his election and his first appearance on the balcony of St Peter's Basilica.
Cardinals come in all shapes and sizes, and some are generously proportioned. So will the off-the-peg robes cover all eventualities?
"We seldom make a mistake, so there is a good chance they will fit," Lorenzo says with a smile.
Last minute fitting
Behind the scenes at the Vatican, nuns will be ready with needles and thread to make any last-minute adjustments.
After the pope's election, the firm will be hoping for a phone call to arrange a proper fitting.
After his election, a new pope has to acquire a whole new wardrobe. It really is a case of "I've got nothing to wear".
The new man will be free to choose his own tailor, but most recent popes have been happy to use the Gammarelli.
The business was founded in 1792, and Lorenzo is the sixth generation of his family to join the firm.
The premises are in a side street close to the Pantheon, but most tourists pass by without recognising the shop.
Stepping inside is like entering a very traditional firm of gentlemen's outfitters.
The shop fittings are all polished wood, and the shelves are stacked with rolls of cloth in every ecclesiastical colour - black, purple, red and white.
Many senior clerics have been coming here for years, in some cases since their student days in Rome.
Being tailors to the pope must help business, but the staff like to think it is the quality of the material and the cut of the cloth that keeps their customers coming back.
"We are proud of our work," says Lorenzo Gammarelli.
"We are famous for the quality of our clothes. People do not come here just because of the pope. They come here because we make good cassocks."
The framed portraits of former pontiffs hanging on the walls are the only indication of the firm's distinguished clientele.
The white robes worn by John Paul II on his trips around the world must have been seen by more people than any other set of clothes.
The tailors at Gammarelli say they never think about it; their only concern is making sure the pope looks his best.
"For the family, it is an enormous honour to make clothes for the pope," Lorenzo says simply.
It is a tradition the firm hopes will continue after the election of the new pope.

Tourist spot in Beijing experiences overcrowding after Xi visit
Tourists swarmed to Nanluoguxiang on Saturday, a week after President Xi Jinping's surprise visit to the hutong, according to Beijing Times, a major daily newspaper.
Despite the rain, shopkeepers in Beijing's Nanluoguxiang are extending opening hours to accommodate eager visitors.
"We saw it on the news, chairman Xi came to the 29th and 30th courtyard, so we came to see what it looks like," said a couple surnamed Yang from Hebei. The Yangs, who came to Beijing for a tour, did not plan on visiting the hutong before Xi showed up last week.
Watch: Xi Jinping's surprise visit to a popular Beijing tourist zone last week
Last Tuesday, Xi braved the smog, without a face mask, to walk along one of Beijing's most well-known streets. He spoke to local people and visited two of their homes.
The visit came two months after a surprise appearance at a steamed bun restaurant turned the place into an instant tourist attraction.
On Saturday night, the streets of Nanluoguxiang in Beijing's Dongcheng district were supervised by two or three traffic control officers and bustled with tourists who lined up outside snack bars and took photographs of the two courtyards Xi visited.
A resident of the hutong surnamed Wei said Xi's surprise rendezvous showed humility.
"As chairman, he should be visiting fancy courtyards. But these courtyards were very ordinary, lived by ordinary people, he really tried to walk among us", Wei said.

Vanos Piston Cover Bolt WASHERS...
These are the large (Inch in diameter) hex bolts that cover the Vanos pistons (just under the valve cover).
Each one has an aluminum washer. Do they NEED to be replaced during the Vanos seal replacement???
I got pretty much everything to do the job but I do not have those washers. I checked the Beisan website and they don't say anything about replacing those washers.
So use the same washers?
Just re-use the washers, they do not need to be replaced.

The NSW Supreme Court's approval on Thursday of the schemes of arrangement that will facilitate the restructuring of Centro will come as a huge relief to the company and its bevy of advisers. It is the culmination of almost four years of hard work and should bring to an end the most complex restructuring Australia has ever seen.
The decision has also provided clarity on the power of secured lenders to pay consent fees and emphasised the flexibility of the scheme of arrangement as a mechanism for doing deals.
PwC has not yet decided on whether it will appeal: if it does, the deal may still be imperilled, given the drop-date refinancing deadline falls in two weeks - hardly enough time for an appeal to be prepared, and the case heard and decided. But there would be significant reputational risks if Centro's former auditor continues to run the legal gauntlet.
The essence of Justice Reg Barrett's decision was based on the reality that PwC and the class action claimants would be in a position no more favourable than unsecured creditors if Centro was tipped in to administration (which would have been the result if the court blocked the scheme). PwC (and the claimants in a shareholder class action) would be assured of receiving nothing in an insolvent administration - an obvious situation given Centro Properties Group's liabilities far outweigh its assets, putting PwC out of the money as an unsecured creditor.
But, by approving the schemes, the judge said at least PwC would have a real prospect of obtaining some of the $10 million that was set aside for it and other contingent creditors by the secured lenders. This amount forms part of $100 million to be paid to other Centro stakeholders, including the bondholders, hybrid noteholders and shareholders of Centro Properties Group, offered as encouragement for their support for the deal.
The point was neatly summed up by Centro chairman
Some saw PwC's legal action as a form of greenmail, chiefly designed to leverage a better deal for itself at the expense of a range of other stakeholders, including long-suffering Centro investors.
The court decision will be widely read by deal makers, given the central role that schemes of arrangement play in deal making - for both re-organisations and an increasing number of mergers.
The circumstances under which a court may intervene to block a scheme of arrangement which has received the support of creditors at their meeting is an important issue for hedge funds and other parties trading secondary debt in distressed companies, presenting a key risk to deal execution. This is especially the case in an age of litigation funding support for aggrieved shareholders to bring legal cases against failed companies.
Justice Barrett noted that the court's powers to intervene were broad and "not confined to the direct results of the relevant schemes' operation" - but that the court's approach should be very measured and focused on commercial realities rather than hypothetical scenarios.
Schemes are considered by courts at two hearings: the first precedes, and approves, the shareholder meeting which votes on the scheme (a bare majority in number and 75 per cent in value of those present and voting is required to pass a scheme, which then binds all members); the second court hearing follows the meeting and the court must be satisfied that the statutory provisions have been complied with, and also must be comfortable that the majority of members have acted in good faith and the proposal is fair and reasonable. It is for the proponent of a scheme to satisfy the court that, having regard to all the relevant circumstances, the scheme is fair and reasonable and appropriate for approval.
Justice Barrett said that when a court considered a scheme, "the only comparison the court can properly make is that between the position as it will exist after the schemes and the associated elements making up the aggregation are implemented, and the position that will exist if they are not implemented". Questions of what the position could have been under a different scheme are not relevant, he said. This recognises that the court does not have a role to second-guess the deal that is is being presented with.
The judge also backed the ability of secured lenders to pay consent fees, recognising them as serving a commercial purpose. PwC had argued that the way in which the $100 million was being allocated breached the Corporations Act because they were a reduction in share capital and were not being made in accordance with priorities set out in the legislation for winding-ups.
But Justice Barrett said the secured lenders "were obviously not inclined to be kind or generous to Centro or to any of the potential recipients of the [$100 million] ... except to the extent that what might have seemed to be kindness or generosity served their own commercial purposes".
"I accept Centro's characterisation of the overall aggregation plan as a legitimate compromise."
After four years of work, advisers on the Centro deal have enjoyed a fee bonanza.
As Chanticleer reported in September, $278 million had been paid in fees to various legal and financial advisers since 2008, when Centro struck trouble because of too much debt. The current figure would be larger, and will continue to tick up as work continues on creating and listing the new Centro.
Centro was advised by JPMorgan when its US operations ran into difficulty, while Moelis & Co worked on the restructuring deal. UBS, Lazard and Flagstaff Partners have also worked on the deal.
Law firms Freehills, Arnold Bloch Leibler, Clayton Utz, Johnson Winter & Slattery, Allens Arthur Robinson and US firm Bracewell & Giuliani have also had roles.
The schemes of arrangement were steered by the lawyer advising the hedge funds holding Centro's senior debt, Leon Zwier, a partner at Arnold Bloch Leibler. An insolvency and workout veteran, Mr Zwier also represented TPG in the Alinta reconstruction, US institutions battling over Sons of Gwalia and had lead roles in the administration of Ansett and Tricom. Freehills partner Rebecca Maslen-Stannage advised Centro.

Now that the initial euphoria following the introduction of the Waxman-Markey climate change bill has passed, this past week may have reminded supporters of climate change legislation just how difficult it will be and what sort of compromises may be necessary to get it done. First, Greenwire reported again on the difficulty that senators and representatives from coal states will have supporting climate legislation that would increase electricity rates. This was consistent with the recent Senate action that seemingly put the final nail in the coffin on the idea of using the budget process as a vehicle for climate legislation in the Senate (in order to avoid the threat of a filibuster).
Last Thursday, the Obama Administration seemed to acknowledge this reality. White House spokesman Benjamin LaBolt, while stating that the Administration's goal remains a cap-and-trade program in which all allowances are auctioned, rather than simply allocated to existing emitters, noted that Congress was looking at a number of options and stated that the Administration "will be flexible" in order to get a bill passed. Another White House aide, Joseph Aldy also did not rule compromise on the auction issue.
Part of the Administration's concern has to be placating the so-called Gang of 16, a group of moderate Senators. It is difficult to imagine climate change legislation being enacted without the support of this group, which includes several senators most people would think of as reliable votes for the Democratic leadership.
The Administration faces a difficult balancing act on this issue. If it signals too early and too strongly a willingness to compromise, that could be perceived as a sign of weakness and the debate could shift too far—from the Administration's perspective—toward allocating allowances, rather than auctioning them. On the other hand, if the Administration sticks too firmly to the auction approach, it risks losing credibility and influence, as Congress may simply develop legislation without regard to the White House. If I were a betting man, I'd still assume that climate legislation will include an auction, but the percentages may start out relatively low (perhaps with a mechanism to increase that percentage over time).

Clearly, Seinfeld was one of those shows that do more than entertain—it becomes a source of pop culture.The chronicle of phrases and fads that were generatedby our nine-season run is seemingly endless: "hand,"mimbo, mansierre, puffy shirt, man hands, low talker, master of the domain, "yada-yada," Pez, Frogger, "Serenity Now," Vandalay Industries, the "move," marble rye, anti-dentite, Junior Mint. Trust me—it's endless.
Because of the show's enduring popularity, my daily life is a series of quotes and questions from legions of diehardfans. I am genuinely pleased with the knowledge thatour efforts continue to entertain so many. And I am constantly fascinated with how much in-depth knowledge the fans have of our program. But there is a downside, as well.
I cannot walk down the street without shouts of "George" or "Can't Stand Ya" following me. I have been asked more times than Steinbrenner what I think is going on inside the Yankee organization. The novelty of people yelling, "Where's Jerry?" or "Say hey to Kramer" has long ago worn off. I am constantly asked why I killed Susan; who won the contest; and whose b---- I became in prison.
All this I bear with dignity and humility because of my love of the show and my appreciation of our fans.
However, one question alone rises beyond all others.One question gets tossed at me from all directions until Iam so psychically battered that I must limp to someretreat, away from all humanity, until I can summon thestrength to once again face my Seinfeldian destiny. The question?—"What are you doing for Festivus?"
Festivus! FESTIVUS!!!!!
For one miserable episode, the Costanza family invited the world to join them for an inane, bizarre anti-holiday called Festivus. It wasn't a major story point. It wasn't arecurring story line. It was one lousy episode. It was brought to our table by a young writer named Dan O'Keefe. The truth was that this odd fellow had spent years celebrating (if that's the appropriate word) this freakish creation of his own father's slightly off-kilter mind. He proposed it as a notion for something the character of Frank Costanza, George's father, might have manufactured. Itwas to be a minor element, a throwaway—nothing.
But, since we were the show about nothing—the damn thing took! Upon airing the episode, Festivus parties popped up everywhere. Festivus ceremonies were proposed.The Ben and Jerry Ice Cream company created a Festivus flavor. Last rumor I heard was that the federal government was considering making it a national holiday.
And then the questions—the endless, mindless questions:How do we celebrate? What is the history? Whenis the exact date? Is there religious significance? Onedumbass inquiry after another.
For years, all I could say when bombarded with thislunacy was, "For God's sake people, it's a TV show! Get agrip. Move on." But the glaring disappointment on their faces was too hard to take. It was like telling a little Christianchild that there is no Santa. I had no stomach for it.Maybe because I'm Jewish. Maybe I'm just soft.
But now, like a ray of light direct from Heaven, myprayers have been answered, my personal salvation hasarrived. You hold in your hands the definitive tome on Festivus.And it comes from the highest authority—DanO'Keefe himself. Every question you have about this festivalis answered in these pages. No effort has been spared.Upon completion, you will be able to preserve the rich history and colorful pageantry of this most holy day yourself. For the true Seinfeld fan, this is required reading. For thecasual passer by, it is a curious primer on how to create yourown ritual for the ages.
I realize that this book is also a shameless attempt tocash in on an international phenomenon. It is airport orbathroom reading at its best. I don't care. I'm free, dammit!At last, this burden has been lifted from me. From this dayforward I can field these absurd missives by simply pointingto this ignoble publication. I recommend it with sincerityand passion. It is also pretty damn funny.So enjoy .
It is a Festivus gift from the Costanzas andthe O'Keefes. God bless us, every one. And Happy Festivus, a festival for the rest of us.
—Jason Alexander, June 2005
So you think the holiday known as Festivus involves a metal pole, do you? Feats of strength? Commercial breaks? WRONG. That's just the television version. Because a network audience couldn't possibly have handledthe real thing. A family huddled around a table by candlelightone random evening a year, eating and drinking toomuch, singing in German about a black pig, bitching aboutpeople who didn't like them into a barely functional taperecorder, and displaying obscene, hand-scrawled signs ofa political nature.
But if you go beyond simple belief, if you are one ofthose lost souls who, captivated by the television portrayal of Festivus, actually celebrates the damn thing.. .what's up with that? Don't get out of the house much, do you? Maybe you should get a pet or a hobby or something.If you don't already have forty cats in your studio apartment,which will eat your eyes when you die, alone.
But as you may or may not know, this holiday actually existed even before it appeared on television. Our fatheri nvented it— our actual dad, Daniel O'Keefe Sr., not our Heavenly Father—our family celebrated it, and then one of us brothers stuck it on TV and bought a nice car with the money. The others received nothing, and were not allowed to touch or ride in the car. Yes, while Festivus isnow apparently celebrated here and there around thecountry according to the principles set forth in the sitcomversion, the reality of this day was far more bizarre andsinister. Less like something from a comedy about zany,lovable New Yorkers, and more like something from the "X-Files."Like if one of the "Lone Gunmen" had children, andthey all lived under a power line.
In this book you will learn, should you choose, how tocelebrate Festivus according to the true and ancient traditionsthat have guided it since its birth back in the mistsof the 1960s. But be warned: the secrets of this book canbe dangerous. Do not read it while driving a car; thatwould be a bad idea. Do not use it to hold down importantpapers on a desk; it is flimsy and your papers may blowaway. If you handle it carelessly, you may sustain paper cutsthat are not only painful, but may attract sharks whileswimming at the beach. Also, the way things are going inthis country, reading books might soon lead to your arrestand a one-way black helicopter ride to some kind of orbitalprison, or forced labor on an undersea kelp farm. Dependingon the judge you get.
The Need for Festivus
The celebration we call Festivus, because that is itsname, was born in 1966, when our dad decided thathe wanted a new holiday. Apparently, the ones we alreadyhad just weren't doing it for him. And to be fair, let's alladmit there are some problems with the existing holidays:
Holiday: Christmas
Problem: Too commercialized. Let's be honest, it's notreally news to anyone that Christmas has become lessa celebration of Jesus' birthday, and more of a nationwideugly-sweater competition. And an excuse towaste millions of kilowatts lighting up rooftops, sothat from space, whole neighborhoods must look likelanding strips on the rooftops of whorehouses. HappyBirthday, Jesus.
Holiday: Halloween
Problem: Halloween is pretty much just devil worshipcloaked in a celebration of childhood diabetes andvandalism. The only good thing about it is it singlehandedlyprops up the candy, egg, shaving cream, toiletpaper, and new-mailbox industries.
Holiday: Arbor Day
Problem: A holiday devoted to trees. What an excitingidea. You might want to stop reading for a few minutesif your pulse is racing. Look, even if Arbor Day startedas some kind of cool, sinister, druidic, tree religion, it'slost its mojo now. In elementary school we plantedtrees on the school grounds each Arbor Day, and in secondgrade I had just won some spelling bee, so I had toread a description of the tree species while they plantedthe damn thing. Later, third graders pulled all theleaves off it and stuffed them in my mouth, ears, nose,and pants. So I hate Arbor Day, as well as the EasternWhite Pine.
Holiday: Presidents' Day
Problem: A bastardized hybrid of Washington's andLincoln's birthdays. Combined holidays are inherentlystupid: would you celebrate Thanksoween? How aboutChristmassover? Hallowgiving? Individually Washingtonand Lincoln were great Americans; mushedtogether they're an excuse for mattress sales and TVads where Pontiac dealers chop down papier-ma�chécherry trees.
Holiday: Thanksgiving
Problem: Okay, this one's not bad. Except of course theway it calls to mind the genocide and forced relocationof millions of Native Americans. And the football gameson Thanksgiving are always such one-sided blowouts;it's all over in the first quarter.Holiday: Columbus DayProblem: An Italian kid stole some baseball cards fromme in fourth grade. 'Nuff said.In any case, the way we first heard it, our dad decided hewanted a day of celebration that wasn't commercialized,some dead guy's birthday, or a bunch of pagan plant crap.

Southern Cross shares are trading at $1.62, down about 15 per cent since the takeover was announced on January 31. Shares provided to institutions in the capital raising were priced at $1.45, a 16.2 per cent discount to the closing share price before the raising was announced.
The 97-page prospectus for the capital raising provided no detail about the organisational structure of the merged Southern Cross-Austereo or the fate of its various senior executives.

Blind Boys still singing after 73 years
The gospel group the Blind Boys of Alabama was formed by glee club members at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind. The name of the school alone is a clue that we're going back a few years. It was, in fact, in 1939 that Jimmy Carter and five other singers began an extraordinary odyssey, which brings the troupe to Roy Thomson on Dec. 7 for a show of festive-season sacred music. Mr. Carter, one of two surviving members, may or may not recall the state of things in 1939.
In 1939, Gone With the Wind, a romantic epic film starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh and set in the American Civil War, was the talk of Hollywood.
In 1939, President Franklin Roosevelt, after consulting with the superstar physicist Albert Einstein, initiated a program to develop atomic weaponry. In 2005, the Blind Boys recorded (Jesus Hits Like the) Atom Bomb, a song from 1950
In 1939, hit songs included Irving Berlin's God Bless America (as recorded by Kate Smith) and the Billie Holiday-sung Strange Fruit. The former included a verse which rhymed "land so fair" with "solemn prayer," while the latter addressed the lynching of African Americans.

I would be highly interested in this, incredibly interested!
I would be highly interested, too
But how should this work and be arranged?
The author of a psd template gets from another author the coding. But on the other side, it shouldn't be lose out of sight, that the author, who codes, get a psd design for free …
What do you suggest, that this arrangement can be done for both satisfied?
Anyway, I always look for good authors, coding psd templates to xhtml:
Well I am one who can code for cheap… It's not that difficult. The hardest part is probably commenting the code.
For Authors of Themeforest I would gladly do this at a very low rate, because at least I know I would have quite a few templates to do.
We are talking two digit numbers per template.
I am already coding a few for authors as we speak.
So, count me in
Yeah I just need wordpress from my existing html templates.
I'd need stuff like implementing sliders, drop-down menus and contact forms for my HTML templates. This would be so they are TF worthy
And maybe a code clean-up service would be awesome. Anyone up for that?
just wrote you a private message.
as DDStudios i have also snet you a private message.
Yes, that's my problem, too.
I have difficulties, to implement javalamp menus or sliders and such things.
I would be satisfied with the coding of html.

ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that Periactin (cyproheptadine hydrochloride (HCl)) 4-milligram (mg) tablets were not withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination will allow FDA to approve abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) for cyproheptadine HCl 4-mg tablets. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Catchings, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (HFD-7), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-594-2041. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1984, Congress enacted the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-417) (the 1984 amendments), which authorized the approval of duplicate versions of drug products approved under an ANDA procedure. ANDA sponsors must, with certain exceptions, show that the drug for which they are seeking approval contains the same active ingredient in the same strength and dosage form as the ``listed drug,'' which is a version of the drug that was previously approved under a new drug application (NDA). Sponsors of ANDAs do not have to repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary to gain approval of an NDA. The only clinical data required in an ANDA are data to show that the drug that is the subject of the ANDA is bioequivalent to the listed drug. The 1984 amendments include what is now section 505(j)(7) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(j)(7)), which requires FDA to publish a list of all approved drugs. FDA publishes this list as part of the ``Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations,'' which is generally known as the ``Orange Book.'' Under FDA regulations, drugs are withdrawn from the list if the agency withdraws or suspends approval of the drug's NDA or ANDA for reasons of safety or effectiveness, or if FDA determines that the listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness (21 CFR 314.162). Under Sec. 314.161(a)(1) (21 CFR 314.161(a)(1)), the agency must determine whether a listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness before an ANDA that refers to that listed drug may be approved. FDA may not approve an ANDA that does not refer to a listed drug. Periactin 4-mg tablets are the subject of NDA 12-649. On October 17, 1961, Merck & Co., Inc., received approval to market Periactin 4-mg tablets. On November 5, 2002, CorePharma LLC submitted a citizen petition (Docket No. 02P-0479/CP1) under 21 CFR 10.30 requesting that the agency assign reference listed drug status to a currently marketed cyproheptadine hydrochloride 4-mg tablet drug product. At that time, FDA exercised its discretion under Sec. 314.161(a) to determine if Periactin 4-mg tablets were withdrawn for reasons of safety or effectiveness. After reviewing agency records, FDA has determined that Periactin 4-mg tablets were not withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. Accordingly, the agency will continue to list Periactin 4-mg tablets in the ``Discontinued Drug Product List'' section of the Orange Book. The ``Discontinued Drug Product List'' delineates, among other items, drug products that have been discontinued from marketing for reasons other than safety or effectiveness. ANDAs that refer to Periactin 4-mg tablets may be approved by the agency. Dated: May 19, 2003. Jeffrey Shuren, Assistant Commissioner for Policy.

What is VRV
What are the advantages of a VRV system over central air conditioning system?
Individual Control
Conventional systems air condition a building as a whole, whereas the VRV system air conditions each room individually. Hence it is ideal for the constantly changing occupancy of a typical building. Even further, precise level control is possible that reacts to the exact conditions in each room. Individual control promotes a far more economical and efficient system.
Other advantages

Benefits for Installers
Daikin offers a compact design for VRV III outdoor units by further optimizing equipment functions, exceeding the norm for air conditioning systems. Compact units facilitate installation in limited areas, such as rooftops, and take up less effective space. Easier installation work realizes fast completion with time to spare.

More people than ever are applying for Social Security Disability Insurance, or SSDI. According to Social Security's own statistics, the average number of applications per month has risen from 200,000 prior to 2008 to more than 300,000 per month since.
Getting SSDI can take years from the time of initial application and the average monthly benefit of $1,067 isn't enormously generous. But for many people, applying is smart retirement planning and is worth the cost and aggravation because receiving SSDI freezes Social Security calculations and years of unemployment won't be factored in. Therefore, the recipient of SSDI who transitions to regular Social Security at retirement age usually will get a higher benefit than he would if he had simply been unemployed.
When the SSDI approval finally arrives, the recipient will likely get a substantial pot of money -- and owe federal and possibly state taxes on that income. If you find yourself in this situation, Paul Gada, a tax attorney and personal financial planning director for the Allsup Disability Life Planning Center, advises wending your way carefully through the process of paying these taxes on the lump sum. Paying taxes on the whole amount in one year is a big mistake, Gada says, because it will push you into a higher tax bracket and raise your tax bill significantly.
The IRS allows taxes on this lump-sum payment to be spread over previous tax years using the current-year tax return -- you don't have to file any amended returns. To read what the IRS says about paying taxes on a lump-sum disability benefit, download IRS Publication 915. This is complicated stuff. If you feel comfortable using tax software, the more sophisticated programs will walk you through it. But it may be wise to get help from a knowledgeable tax preparer who understands the tax implications of lump-sum disability distributions.
It is also smart to deduct the costs of seeking the SSDI benefits. If you hired an attorney or a company like Allsup to help you get your SSDI benefits, you can deduct the fee that you paid your representative when figuring out the taxability of the lump-sum SSDI payment you received.

I bought one of these at the beginning of the year to go trekking in the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains and it hasn't let me down once. I've been on trails in the worst of Welsh weather and just returned from Ben Nevis (where it was -10 at the peak) and have loved every minute of it! Fully wind and waterproof, breathable, plenty of pockets, nice cloth neck band, packable, generous hood, elastic waist band the list of features go on and on. My only "want" would be a wire in the hood but thats it. All this for a 1/2 or even 1/3 the price a Mammut or Berghaus. Excellent, buy it!
