Report: Six Strikes Piracy Plan a Nightmare for Landlords, Businesses

Ambiguity will lead to the innocent suffering alongside the guilty, argues report
magazine's Matt Peckham has offered up
a compelling argument
on why the upcoming "six strikes" plan is fundamentally flawed. "Six Strikes" is the term bandied about for the
voluntary collaboration
by internet service providers (ISPs) and big media groups like the
Motion Picture Association of America
to "educate" users on the "dangers" of piracy.
The proposal -- unlike past efforts like the
failed SOPA
-- does not involve the government. And it does not involve
internet "capital punishment"
-- termination of paying customers. But if customers are found pirating by MarkMonitor -- the group contracted by the
Center for Copyright Information
(CCI) to filter ISP traffic looking for P2P streams with infringed IP -- ISPs will be liable to either slow users connections or force them to take "classes" to regain access to the connection.
The move is a win for ISPs; they'll likely be able to provide a lesser degree of service to many of their customers while claiming it's in the noble name of "intellectual property protection". Reduced service means
less bandwidth and data consumed
, which in turn means cost savings, which in turn means more profit.
And big media is clinging to the notion that if it can just get some habitual pirates to abandon their foul ways, they'll instead turn to legally buying all sorts of content, triggering a golden age of media profits.
Of course there's little signs of that being the case -- pirates actually tend to already be the biggest buyers of
content, so it seems relatively unlikely they'll buy
if forced to forgo their pirating.
Piracy warnings might sound good on paper, but a major issue is how to track the true offenders and who should be forced to pay for that tracking.
What's more, Mr. Peckham poses an intriguing scenario of why the current IPv4 based plan in simply too dumb to work. He comments:
My condo complex (I'm an owner) has 48 units. It was built in 2003, so it's relatively new. At the time, the builders had the foresight to wire each unit with Ethernet — a drop in each room, everything connected back to aggregate wire closets. Near my front door (and all the front doors of all the units) is a mini-wire closet with a switch/hub that connects my unit to a central switch/hub in a locked room on the property.
That, in turn, plugs into a high-speed cable modem — a cable modem that's shared across all 48 units. We're technically shielded from each other using a special box that "firewalls" each private IP and can control how much bandwidth it's allocated, etc. Whether we elect to use it or pay for our own service instead, all 48 units have access to this shared Internet.
He argues that for business owners or owners of residential units (like himself), the plan will create a nightmarish scenario of new costs and enforcement responsibilities, in which ultimately the innocent may suffer along with the guilty. He writes:
You can probably see where I'm headed. With "six strikes," any of the residents in the complex who — knowingly or unknowingly — engage in an act of copyright violation, could incur an alert. Who's going to see that alert? Probably me, as the technical contact for the ISP (that or our property management company, at which point it'll route back to me).
At this point I'm not sure what happens. The IP address MarkMonitor's software is going to see, presumably, is our public one, not the private address of the device that's been singled out on our condo complex's network. How do we identify the perpetrator? Should we identify the perpetrator? If our ISP says we're in violation, is it incumbent on us to run our own tracking software, somehow, to identify the person(s) involved? Are we supposed to somehow issue these warnings ourselves, since the ISP won't technically be able to?
See the problem? Who's responsible for each infraction? Who should be punished? The entire complex, by throttling or at some point terminating our Internet service? Each unit in the complex pays for shared Internet equally as part of our monthly association fees. We're not a business — there's no CEO. The few of us who manage the Internet on behalf of the rest can't act unilaterally to preempt potential infractions by blocking aspects of the service by introducing content filters the way a private company might.
He also takes the ISP/media union to task for failing to transparently disclose full details of the plan and how it will work. He says the collaborators decision to force consumers to "reverse-engineer" their rights is a big "transparency issue".
The plan, as he points out, has been
temporarily delayed
by the CCI as the power outages from Hurricane Sandy set back the MarkMonitor's testing of the scheme on trial partner networks.

But as the delayed system moves forward to rolling out in weeks to come, one has to wonder how many scenarios like the one Mr. Peckham laid out might occur. If they do, the wrath will likely largely be shouldered by the ISP, and they may find themselves losing paying customers.
And when things reach that point one has to wonder whether the fragile union between the content hording big media and the service providers will be capable of surviving the financial friction.
"If they're going to pirate somebody, we want it to be us rather than somebody else." -- Microsoft Business Group President Jeff Raikes

(Another) Desperate Waddle
I'm working in China, where I live adjacent to campus with an easy uphill walk to work. I work two days a week. I live on the fourth floor of a funky-looking building. Sorry -- no elevator. But four floors aren't so bad. Actually, I dread going down the stairs more than I fear going up. I have found that in China, no matter where you are, there is a lot of walking to do. Back in the States, I usually only walked when I was shopping or when I deliberately went out to get some exercise.
The other morning I was leaving for work. Just as I got to the ground level, I felt the slightest twinge of an urge. It wasn't a powerful urge, but it definitely got my attention. I had to talk to myself for a second and encourage myself to keep going. Because if I didn't keep going, I'd have to climb back up four flights of stairs. And since I had just packed up to leave, I really didn't want to go right back up. So I kept going.
As I turned my first corner, about a hundred yards away from where I live, I got hit with another slight urge; but this was more serious. Now I was measuring the time, space, and distance step by step, calculating various probabilities in my head. Could I get to the top of this hill before I shit in my pants? Or should I go back home and go up to get down?
My brain could definitely use a RAM update, because I still could not decide what the proper course of action was. I kept going. "I can make it," I told myself. This was a vague sort of urge, not a bitter one. The probability was that I could go all to way to work and use that men's room right by the entrance as soon as I got there. So I kept going.
Then, as I was winding around my third for fourth turn, it became suddenly apparent that I had miscalculated. It had become obvious that this impending bowel movement was going to be a GUSHER. All or sudden, there I was, in the middle of no man's land, struck with what I consider to be the absolute worst feeling in the world: the overwhelming urge to take crap, in public, without the remotest clue of where to find a bathroom.
I made one vain attempt to ask someone directions, but the response sounded like either "It's way the hell over there" or "Get out of here, you weirdo."
So, even though I felt like I was going to go in my pants, I gritted my teeth, and, in a clumsy sort of zombie-like walk, started to return to my home. My on-board computer finally checked in and the data was conclusive: go back!
As I wobbled and staggered back to my place, stopping occasionally to concentrate all my energy on keeping my butt from opening up, I considered the different ways I might have to handle this situation if it did in fact get completely out of hand.
It's a sense of terror. And in my terror, I wondered if the excrement would wet my pants. I hoped the shit wouldn't drip down my legs and on to my shoes. Would anyone notice? Can they already tell that I'm having a problem?
At one moment, I had to actually reach around behind me and force my hand against the crack in my ass to apply extra pressure. I don't usually have to do anything so drastic, but this was an extreme attack. My perception was entirely focused on my immediate problem: the most intensely uncomfortable feeling I have ever experienced. Everything else, all my other worldly concerns, completely faded from view. There was nothing else at all. There was only one thought going through my mind: this is agony.
At moments like this, even though I don't have conventional religious beliefs, I start praying.
I made two attempts to find a spot where I might squat unnoticed. I considered jumping into the bushes, but I couldn't spot any accessible clumps of foliage. I was desperate. I had to consider the possibility that I might have to give up my status of being considered "toilet trained". One possibility I deliberated upon was to just stop and go ahead and shit. I wasn't too far away from home. I figured I could contain the problem and keep my pants filled while waddling the short distance back to my apartment. But I felt that I had to keep going and not give in to the urge. It was a matter of honor.
I'm a fifty-two-year-old man. I just can't go around shitting in my pants anymore, no matter what. When I find it impossible to get to a toilet in order to take a shit, I'll buy a gun and blow my brains out. Although some comic possibilities do occur to me at this moment about what life would be like if I could shit anytime I liked, wherever I was, no matter who I was with. But that's another story. And a sort of a strange one.
I retraced my steps back to my apartment and spastically walked up the four flights of stairs, like I had cerebral palsy. I got inside and threw off the pack and case I was carrying. I lunged into my bathroom. Dropping my pants, I didn't bother to put the seat down -- I just stuck my ass all the way in. As I sat there shuddering in relief, in a cold sweat, I heard my heart pounding in my head louder than I had heard it for years. I felt some grit in my mouth and found a small chip of enamel from one of my teeth. This intense urge had caused me to clench up so severely that I had actually chipped a tooth! "Oh man," I thought. "This is going to be a strange day."
Frankly, though, this sort of thing does seem to happen to me every so often. So I've always figured that most people must experience the same thing from time to time. One day, when playing tennis with a colleague, I had such an attack. Later, I talked to him about my experience. I was shocked when I heard him respond by saying that he had never once in his life ever had such an experience. He's a Filipino-Australian with a PhD in psychology. I think he's about thirty years old. And he's never had an experience like mine.
Hell, if I put my mind to it, I could probably write a list with at least thirty such previous experiences I have had throughout my lifetime.
I've always considered this problem a serious weakness. Since I never hear anyone else (except for really old people) talk openly about their bowel movements, I have no way to figure out exactly where I fit in along our collective space/time continuum. I can't imagine that other people haven't had these experiences.
In a profound psychological sense, these are very desperate experiences, evoking strong, strong emotion. It's profound drama, even if it is transitory.
But it's not like Hollywood is going to rush right out there and make a film about a man and his periodic difficulties controlling his bowels.
I would like to know if what I'm talking about is something that other PoopReporters understand. My question to you is this: do you know what I'm talking about? Have you ever had a similar experience? Or does what I say sound bizarre and unusual? Can you relate your personal experiences to what I am saying? I'm really just trying to figure out if I'm normal or some type of an aberration.
Shit in pants? Not a good thing.
20 Comments on "(Another) Desperate Waddle"
I can hold any solid turdular matter indefinitely. It's the occasional explosive liquishit food poisoning type ass pressure that has very rarely caused me a problem that must be dealt with immediately (see my "Escort Required" story. At any rate, I will never shit my pants while I have the strength to pull them down. Who cares what the Chinese think anyway? I have seen those feral-human dog eaters shit in public countless times myself.
Although I've never lost the battle with the bung, I constantly underestimate the urgency of my need to go.
I have a bad habit of leaving a public place with readily accessible bathrooms and thinking to myself "I can hold it until I get home." Halfway there I'm clenching and trying to sit directly on my butt crack to hold it in.
By the way...what's a human dog?
What do you mean you didn't see it? It was right next to the toilet!
Bad kitty! Bathtubs are NOT litterboxes!
There should have been a comma between human and dog. Chinese are feral humans who eat dogs. That's what I meant anyway.
I have NEVER shit my pants since I've been potty trained or plan to do so. My asshole is quite the diva. It only asks once to be relieved. If the opportunity is not taken within minutes it says, "Screw you, I quit." and I have to coax it into releasing my turd. My colon is such an asshole!
I thought a human dog was kinda like an English pig dog. Monty Python.
Wait wait. I take that back. I did brown my pants once, but it was in the privacy of my own bathroom. I was blowing chunks into the toilet and the force pushed some out the back.
_My thoughts are you, Professor are normal. It happens every blue moon to most people. They just do not let anyone know it has happened to them.______
Producing waste since 1967
Producing waste since 1967
Of course everybody has had this feeling. Think back to when you were being potty-trained. I'm sure that each of us tried desperately to hold on until Mom could get us to a shitter, only to lose the battle. Do you think that it was any less uncomfortable for you as a child than it is for you now? To me the only diffence is that, now you have a long-term memory and you have an adult's understanding of personal dignity.
It seems that as we enter the world, so we exit. I'm betting that when each of us becomes decrepit old codgers, we'll be shitting our britches just like our dead forebears. Unless, of course, we die at a young age, which is a different kind of tragedy.
So, Prof, you are not alone in this. Don't think of this as a stuggle that you alone must bear; think of it as the inevitable destiny for all of humanity. And, if worse comes to worst, blame it on that order of Pooch Lo Mein from the street vendor cart.
Deja Poo - Because this shit's so strange, it couldn't ever have happened before.
Yo quiero Taco Bell.
Like I told the poor soul that shit in his pants front the house of the old bitch that Saturday night, you gotta change your diet. I lived in a third world country for several years and never had a problem. I watched what I ate and always ordered hot water or tea with my meals. Before eating I always dipped the utensils in the hot liquid before using them. I never got sick. Your story would have been funnier if you shit in your pants.
Really, I'm glad you made it, man. But you shouldn't be too shy. The yellow devils dispise you already. I've never been to China, but my best friend lived there for some years and from his stories, dropping trow and pouring one into the street doesn't sound too uncommon.
After a night of drinking I've been there too, and many a time. You're not hitting the Sauki too hard are you?
Yes! I've had the experience a few times. More times than I'd like to admit. I can usually hold it long enough to walk or drive home, but a couple times, I could not stop the moving train. The most recent time was a few years ago.
I had a long drive to a meeting in a bar. I had the urge to go, but figured I'd have a potty in about 20 minutes. I forgot that finding a parking spot takes another 15!
Funny story: as soon as I got to the bar, I beelined it for the potty. As soon as I dropped my pants, a giant turd came tumbling out of my drawers onto the floor. It was quite a sight. It just shot out at the first opportunity.
I'm not sure how or why this happens. I'm usually very regular - you can set your watch by my AM dump. But once in a while, everybody wants out at once. Must have been last call.
Prof, at your age, not that you're old mind you ... but at your age, it could be anything, could be nothing, that causes your bowels to act out of character once in awhile. One thing we as human excrement makers like to have predictible in our lives is the ability to expel the masses. What was once always predictible in my life suddenly became unpredictible during the first week of Jan. '07. Got a bad case of the squirts that lasted a week! Over the next few weeks, when these bouts would attack, I became incontinent and I don't mean pee. This could make a person not want to leave the house. These bouts went on and off until mid-March when I finally sought medical advice. A couple doctors later and a few tests, including the rotor rooter, I've been diagnosed with divertiulosis. Small, simple changes in my eating habits have rectumfied the problem and now I'm expelling healthy floaters. I DO NOT try to hold back when I have the urge - this makes matters worse. The thing about healthy pooh is that you should not have to push hard to get it out. Good luck Prof, get yourself checked out if you need that peace of mind. I hope you do not end up in Depends before you are at leaset 80.
I definitely suffer from the occasional urgent shits like you've described. I went through a period where it was almost daily, I had severe and painful cramps and accompanying explosive diarrhea, a wretched yellow brown concoction. Many times I nearly didn't make it in time, as I was working cleaning pools for my summer job and had to find nearby washrooms at gas stations and restaurants.
I'm much better now, but still have this happen at least a few times per year. Doctors basically tell me it's irritable bowel syndrome. Seems to run in the family, and is largely controlled by diet. Sometimes I can eat well and still have an attack though.
By the sound of your sitauation, you're probably having occassional minor bouts of food poisoning - far more common than peole realise. Try to avoid some of the street food in China, some can be pretty sketchy.
As for the asshole(s) referring to the Chinese as feral animals, you seriously have your head so far up your own ass you must enjoy licking your intestines clean. How someone can be so articulate and yet blatently retarded is beyond me. Eating dogs is odd? Certainly no stranger than eating any other animal.
Yes, I feel it is very normal. I have these sudden strong urges several times a year. It is not the normal BM that causes it though. With me it is the air powered shits! I can recall stopping on the road shoulder and emptying the contents of a container in the back seat and using it for an emergency toilet. I would not have made it another mile!
Suffering Anally, thank you for having some vestige of humanity within you. Those racist Idiots need to keep their stereotypical hate to themselves.
And here I thought I was living in the 21st Century.
I can totally relate. I've not yet not made it but it's gotten desparate. I have experience with "sharts", where you think it's just a big fart coming but you're wrong, but that's another story.
My wife and I freely discuss our pooping habits. I'm a freight train, usually. My bowels usually clear within about 24 hours. I'm usually a 3+ per day pooper, she's a one-or-less. We eat pretty much identically. Some people are just like that. I think if I were a slow pooper I'd probably weigh 100 lbs more than I do, so I'm not complaining.
i can usually hold my poo for days at a time if i need to but great story non the less
i have met many people that talk like asses but i have not met many asses that talk like people
i have met many people that talk like asses but i have not met many asses that talk like people
I once had to drive 25 minutes home with the worst pain I had ever had to endure in my life. I have always been an atheist and at this moment I was praying. The diarrhea pain would be present most of the time, but on occasion it would be completely gone, as if my stomach was turning on and off, and when I didn't feel the pain it was the greatest feeling in the world.

All air tickets have Fare Conditions attached to them which determine the price of that ticket. The most common conditions to be aware of are those governing whether a ticket is refundable and whether additional charges will be imposed in the event that your travel plans change. Different fares will have different conditions, and a ticket that allows you to change the dates of your travel without charge or to receive a full refund if you cancel your travel plans will be more expensive, but still possibly desirable if flexibility is important to your plans.
Be sure to ask your reservations agent about the Fare Conditions associated with the flights you are considering. If you are booking online, simply click 'Fare Conditions' to view the rules relating to any given flight before adding it to your itinerary. If you do have any queries about these conditions, please contact your local Emirates office, as these conditions will apply after purchase.

Flash of Gloom in China's PMI
Signs of a contraction in China's manufacturing sector raise the prospect of a decisive shift toward pro-growth policy.
The flash reading on the HSBC purchasing managers index dipped to 48.0 in November. That is down from 51.0 in October, the lowest reading since March 2009, and a decisive move below the 50 mark that separates growth from contraction.
There are a couple of caveats. Wednesday's data is just the flash reading, representing 85-90% of responses to the survey. The HSBC index is better at capturing what's going on for small private firms, less strong on what's going on with the state sector giants that make up a big chunk of China's output.
The final reading from the HSBC index and data from the official index, both due on 1stDecember, will provide a more complete picture of China's growth momentum.
Nonetheless, today's gloomy data point already raises expectations that Beijing will go beyond the fine tuning currently on offer and shift policy into pro-growth mode.
In a consensus based government, turning policy in a new direction is not easy. The Central Economic Work Conference, which brings together the movers and shakers on the politburo with the wonks from the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Commerce and People's Bank, will provide an opportunity to get everyone on board (In Chinese).
No date for the conference has been announced, but it normally takes place in the first half of December. Last year, China's policy makers surprise Christmas present to the markets was an interest rate hike (In Chinese). If conditions continue to deteriorate, this year's gift could be a shift in policy in the other direction.

Beazley exploiting daughters: Latham
Page Tools
Opposition Leader Kim Beazley was exploiting the naivete of his daughters in rolling them out to defend his reputation, former opposition leader Mark Latham said today.
Continuing the vigorous attacks on the man who took his job at the head of Labor, Mr Latham said he had never met Mr Beazley's daughters and didn't know their names.
After Mr Beazley's daughters yesterday issued a public defence of their father, Mr Latham suggested today he could respond in like manner by putting his four-year-old son on the phone.
"He [Mr Beazley] is trying to exploit their naivete, not knowing all the things that happen in Canberra and all the things their dad would be up to, just as no politician's children would know every single thing that the politician does at work," he told ABC Radio.
"It's a black mark against Beazley's character. It's what I say about him. He has a public reputation but here is a snippet out of the Beazley family of what he gets up to."
In the diary, published today, Mr Latham describes Mr Beazley as indecent, duplicitous and unfit to clean toilets in Parliament House.
He claimed Mr Beazley maintained a dirt file on him.
Mr Beazley's daughters, Jessica and Hannah Beazley, sprang to the defence of their father.
"Our father does not have dirt files on anyone and does not engage in vicious vitriol," they declared yesterday.
"Mark Latham's bitter and hateful rantings will not destroy dad's legacy or service to Australia.
"Our father is a quintessential Australian man. He is a man of decency. A man of honour. A man of integrity."
Mr Latham said anyone who wanted to talk about Mr Beazley should ask why he was pushing around the notion that there was a dirt file containing sexual allegations.
"That meant a good Christian like [MP] John Murphy couldn't vote for me in that ballot," he said.
"Maybe they need to ask why he lied to me in 1998. [Former Labor national secretary] Gary Gray confirmed this later on. He lied to me about the knowledge of these smears. Why were so many people in his office pushing them around?
"Maybe they need to go talk to the businesswoman who said she had had a conversation with him just prior to the 2004 federal election where he was out pushing it again."
Mr Latham said it was sad that the Beazleys had decided to roll out the daughters, who wouldn't know what really went on.
"Obviously, in a political family like that, he wouldn't be coming in the door at 6.30 in the evening saying 'Listen girls, look what I did today in trying to get a leadership ballot,' " he said.
" 'Robert Ray rolled this out in Melbourne to Murphy. We have got him scared. He is a good Christian. We are going to get that vote and beat Latham or anyone else in the ballot.'
"Obviously he doesn't go home at night and say that, and the fact that again he has rolled the daughters out to defend him is a very sad commentary on the man."

To the many people who crossed his path on a tropical island in Belize, it was apparent John McAfee's life had taken some bizarre turns in the past few years.
The anti-virus software guru, who started McAfee Associates in 1989, has been in hiding since police said they wanted to question him about the weekend murder of his neighbour, fellow American Gregory Faull, with whom McAfee had quarreled.
Despite his disappearance, Mr. McAfee, 67, has remained in contact with the media, providing a stream of colourful bulletins over his predicament, state of mind and his claim that Belize's authorities want to kill him.
Residents of the Caribbean island of Ambergris Caye and others who know him paint the picture of an eccentric, impulsive man who gave up a career as a successful entrepreneur in the United States for a life of semi-seclusion in the former pirate haven of Belize, surrounded by bodyguards and young women.
"Never mind the dog, beware of owner," counsels a small sign, embellished with a sketched hand gripping a large pistol, tacked to the fence separating Mr. McAfee's beachfront swimming pool from the pier that cuts into the azure sea.
Mr. McAfee, a yoga fan who has lived on the island for about four years, often moves around with bodyguards, wearing pistols in his belt. Since going into hiding, he has compared his lot to that of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is battling extradition from Britain from inside the Ecuadorean Embassy.
Officials suspect Mr. McAfee used designer drugs, and neighbours say he tried to chase them off the public beach in front of his house. Inside his home, a blue-roofed cottage complex, he kept a small arsenal of shotguns and scope-fitted rifles.
There were also complaints about the millionaire's numerous and noisy dogs. Officials say the poisoning of four of the dogs may be linked to the murder of Mr. Faull, a 52-year-old Florida building contractor who was shot dead at his salmon-hued two-story villa about 100 meters down the beach from Mr. McAfee.
Mr. Faull was one of the locals who had complained about Mr. McAfee's attitude and his dogs.
Mr. McAfee told Wired magazine, with whom he first kept up a running conversation, that he was disguised and holed up in what he describes as a lice-infested refuge. In comments to the magazine, Mr. McAfee denied he shot Faull and said he fears that the police will kill or torture him. Police, who believe he is still in Belize, say they just want to talk to him about the killing.
Mr. McAfee, who has not responded to requests for comment by Reuters, blamed Belize's "pirate culture" for his troubles in an essay Wired said he had sent to the magazine.
"Belize is still a pirate haven and is run more or less along the lines established centuries ago by the likes of Captain Morgan, Blackbeard and Captain Barrow," Mr. McAfee said.
Belize Prime Minister Dean Barrow has urged Mr. McAfee to help police with their inquiries, calling him "bonkers."
In an interview with CNBC television by phone on Friday, Mr. McAfee said he would not seek refuge in the U.S. Embassy.
"What would happen? They will offer me either sanctuary where I will spend my days living in the embassy like poor Julian Assange or when I leave ... I will be nabbed by the police. My ultimate goal is they'll figure out who killed the man, it will have nothing to do with me and they will leave me alone. Or if enough international pressure is applied," he said.
'PARANOID' Many locals in San Pedro describe the tattooed Mr. McAfee, who made a fortune developing the Internet anti-virus software that bears his name, as a generous but unstable man.
"He's a good guy, he helped a lot of people. The problem was when he wanted something he wanted it right now. And when he didn't get it, he'd get paranoid," said one islander, a former McAfee employee, who like many people here spoke on condition their name not be used for fear of retribution.
"He's a complex man, very impulsive," the islander added.Report Typo/Error

Metro Detroit
Local collegiate golfers scheduled to travel to Scotland
Competition will be against Scottish 'All-Star' team
By Mark Vest
Posted August 5, 2014
METRO DETROIT — Wayne State head golf coach Mike Horn has been selected to coach a group of current and former collegiate student-athletes in a competition that is set to take place in Scotland against a Scottish all-star team.
The 36-hole event is part of the USA Athletes International (USAAI) sports tours, which is scheduled to take place Aug. 12-21, with Horn's team slated to play Aug. 15, depending on weather conditions.
All but one of the golfers on the team is from the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC). Although players from other colleges make up part of the squad, six current or former Wayne State players are also on the team, including local golfers Tyler Haksluoto, who attended St. Clair Shores South Lake High School, and Austin Hill, of Troy, who attended Auburn Hills Avondale.
Dillon Horn, Tyler LaSerra, Alex LaSerra and Reid Dean are the other Wayne State players scheduled to make the trip.
Although players from the GLIAC also took a trip to Scotland last year, including Eric Johnson and Robert Favaro from Wayne State, Horn said it will be a first for him, as well as every other player on the team.
"Dream come true," he said. "I was shocked — one, I'd be picked to do it. Two, it's been a dream to go there myself. It is a brand new experience for every one of us."
While Horn would like to come away from the event victorious, the result of the match isn't the most important thing he wants his players to come away with.
"It's a life experience," he said. "We lost last year — pretty close match. But it's not about the winning and losing. Amazing opportunity."
While there can be many perks to making a trip to Scotland, there is one thing in particular many golfers might say they would like to do while they are there — play St. Andrews, which may be the oldest golf course in the world. It is a course Horn would like to play before leaving Scotland.
"Probably every guy you'd ask, their biggest interest beyond competition is to play the Old Course," he said. "Everybody from Old Tom Morris to Tiger Woods has played the Old Course — chance of a lifetime."

Cite some examples of urban decay that occur in chapter 1 of 1984.
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
As the narrative of 1984 first opens, a scene of urban decay is depicted immediately:
- In the halls of the ironically named Victory Mansions there is "gritty dust" and the smells of boiled cabbage, the food of the poor Irish of the twentieth century, fills the air.
- The electricity is cut off during the daytime as part of the economy drive.
- In the street, whirling dust and torn papers mount in spirals, and everything seems colorless.
- At a little distance is the Ministry of Truth where Winston works; it is white and large above "the grimy landscape."
- Another building, the Ministry of Love, is surrounded by barbed wire. Nearby are "bombed sites where plaster dust swirled in the air."
- Within his apartment, Winston has no food, onlu a "hunk of dark-colored bread" that he must save for the next day.
- Winston's neighbor, Mrs. Parsons, is slovenly, appearing as though she has dust in the lines of her face. Her kitchen is littered with dirty dishes and the room smells of sweat. The clogged sink is nearly full of "filthy greenish water which smelt worse than ever of cabbage."
- People seem to be everywhere. Men ask each other for razor blades, but Winston has a couple which he hoards.
- Back in his apartment, Winston wonders if things have been different from the present time, different from the grimy room with its battered tables and dented trays. Winston smells a "sourish composite smell of bad gin and bad coffee, and "filthy-tasting cigarettes."
Interestingly, critics have compared London in 1984 to the grimy and gutter-filled industrial Victorian London.

Built in 1990 at a cost of $10.3 million, the Mollenkopf Athletic Center contains an indoor practice field, weight training room, meeting rooms and coaches' offices. The mammoth structure has a full football field plus spacious sidelines - totaling 92,400 square feet - and reaches 86 feet high at the peak. The two-story weight training room covers nearly 14,000 square feet.
In 1994, the third floor and the mezzanine were completed, giving Purdue one of the finest facilities in the nation. The completion of the Mollenkopf Center was made possible by Howard R. "Monk" Kissell, Class of 1931, who provided the majority of the $1 million cost.
The original AstroTurf was replaced with state-of-the-art FieldTurf in 2006, while the walls of the indoor practice facility were repainted and adorned with banners that recognize Purdue's All-Americans and bowl game appearances. The field was named after Richard, Alice and Kimra Schleicher, who made a lead gift of $400,000.
The third floor, which spans 14,000 square feet, is the home of head coach Jeff Brohm, his assistant coaches, and video and support staff. The office space received a significant sprucing up in 2013, and the hallways are decked out to tell the story of the Boilermaker football tradition. Also on the third floor is the team meeting room, which was renovated in 2013 and now features theater-style seating, as well as conference rooms for the offensive and defensive coaches. The mezzanine level, located above the weight room, consists of five position meeting rooms.
The football program utilizes a state-of-the-art digital video analysis system. The tapeless system provides coaches limitless flexibility in creating video clips for players as they teach and prepare the Boilermakers. The clips can be tailored to offensive and defensive units, special teams, positions and individual players. Among the features: time and space are eliminated as obstacles to better coaching as players can access coaches' video clips through a secure Internet connection, and coaches not only can provide "cut-ups" from thousands of Purdue and opponent plays in an online database but they also can use the software to create video playbooks, training videos and printed statistical analysis reports. Coaches also use the software to view and categorize recruits, and the efficient digital workflow enables them to spend more time watching recruits.
The Bimel Purdue Football Hall of Glory is an exhibit in the lobby of the Mollenkopf Center. The project initially was completed in 1998, thanks to gifts from former players, and most recently received a makeover in 2015 that resulted in an up-to-date look and feel. In addition to highlighting current uniforms, helmets and schedule, four special groups of Boilermakers are recognized: College Football Hall of Famers, Super Bowl champions, the Cradle of Quarterbacks and the Den of Defensive Ends. Bowl and major award winner trophies also are on display.
The football locker room, players' lounge, athletic training room and equipment room are housed in the adjacent Brees Academic Performance Center. The locker room was refurbished in 2010, with new lockers and an overall more contemporary look. The athletic training room was expanded in 2012, doubling its size while adding a direct entrance to the locker room. The spacious players' lounge was renovated in 2014.
The Bimel Practice Complex, which features two lighted 100-yard fields - one Bermuda grass to match the surface in Ross-Ade Stadium and one FieldTurf - was built in 2009 as part of the Mackey Complex project and resides north of the Mollenkopf Athletic Center. It was named for longtime athletics benefactor Carl Bimel in 2012.

Describe your Experience. Pros, Cons, Comments:
Okay. At first, I was scammed by Blaandy... so I rushed around to find a commissioner... Luckily, I found one, Tenshinoitami. She was very kind to me at first and she was willing to take the timeline that I set down. I had the commission started before the 4th and it was mailed to me Monday July 16th.
I gave her the same measurements that I gave to Nugrosjp. [Love that commissioner!]. When the deadline came, she sent the package to me. [I just received it today] and I opened it up to find that:
1. The shirt is WAAAAY too short in the front. It's supposed to stop at the waist, not above the navel.
2. There were supposed to be gloves. There aren't any.
3. Everything is the right color, but it doesn't fit AT ALL across the chest and back...
4. The zipper gets stuck.
5. I was hoping for a better fabric... It feels... very stiff.
6. The collar is too tight. I think I nearly suffocated. ^^;;
7. The sleeves are HUGE. OO;
This costume would be better for a boy my age who was 3 times skinner and had his head turned around on his body. ^^;;
I do appreciate and understand that this was a rushed commission, but I wonder if the commissioner saw the reference pictures close enough.
Final Grade: D. so now I have to scrap Fai for Otakon and start over for AUSA.
First off I would like to say I would have liked it if you told me so I could take it back and FIX IT, which I would have gladly done.
I told you first off before you even paid me that I would not do the gloves.
I asked you how long you wanted the top for the neck down and you said 13inches, I even extended the top at least an inch because 13inches seemed too short.
I dont know why the zipper gets stuck, I slid it fine a few times.
I will say that I am not used to sewing for bigger people but I did measure the top multiple times to make sure it would fit, in fact it was 4" too big following the pattern I used and took it in some (notice the darts) so it would MATCH YOUR MEASUREMENTS, in fact I think there was a inch or so more than the measurements you gave me.
The fabric I used may have felt "stiff" because its a heavier weight, it was a good fabric, not cheap.
I dont have the time right now seeing as school is starting but I would be willing to work with you on fixing it as I do not like people being unhappy with my work.

Live From The International CES 2013!
Straight from Las Vegas, Nevada, it's the International Consumer Electronics Show 2013 – one of the world's largest technology and electronics shows in the world. Every year some of the biggest names in technology introduce brand new products and innovations. This year was no different as we saw new items primed and ready for the consumer market.
It would be impossible to go over everything shown at CES this year, but there were definitely some shining moments. This year really focused on items such as new 4K/Ultra HD televisions, Gorilla Glass 3, "smart" appliances and entire home networking, and a rise in touchscreen monitors, just to name a few.
Probably the most exciting consumer electronics displayed, and definitely the ones that were pushed the most, were 4k/Ultra HD televisions. Most televisions today are shown at "full HD" or 1080p. That equates to 1080 lines (or pixels) worth of data shown vertically with the full resolution being around 2.1 megapixels. 4k/Ultra HD televisions aim to be 4 times that amount. In order to be considered Ultra HD, a television must have a resolution of at least 3,840 × 2,160 pixels – or nearly 8.3 megapixels. From a personal standpoint, these items were truly the "Wow" at the show. We'll have even more details involving brand new television technology, including Ultra HD, in an article next week.
Be sure to stick with us as we give new updates and details from CES in the coming week!

Hi, is there a 'quick' way to close, or shut down, a computer running Windows 8, ie, similar to the start button, shut down with Windows 7? Thanks for the help!
Ctrl + Alt + Delete and Click Shutdown: If you hold down the Ctrl, Alt and Delete buttons you'll open a screen with a shutdown icon in the bottom right hand corner. This is the fastest method I've found to shut down the PC using just the keyboard.
Go To Blank Desktop then Press Alt + F4: This is a pretty handy trick for users of the desktop mode. If you are on a blank desktop and press Alt and F4 key you'll be shown the traditional Windows shutdown dialog box.
Make A Shutdown Shortcut: You can create a shortcut to shutdown your computer and place it on the desktop by right clicking a blank area of the desktop and selecting New Shortcut. In the location type in the following without the quotations "shutdown /s /t 0″. The o is a number zero not a letter o. Click the next button and you should have a shortcut on the desktop which will shutdown the PC once you double click it.

I'm considering buying a smart phone of some type. I don't really need an internet connection, but I'm assuming that all plans require it. What I need most is to be able to place reminders (doesn't have to be a calendar, just a list for me to access later) in 3-4 different lists. Since I mostly remember to add to these lists (I work in 3 locations) while I'm driving, I need the phone to reliably complete the task through voice recognition.
Which smart phone should accomplish this most effectively?
Well the great news is both Android-powered phones and the Apple iPhone can do this function easily. Android and iOS (iPhone's operating system) both have a built in voice-to-text feature on the keyboard, allowing you to speak to the phone and have your words typed out.
But there's a war raging - find out why!

MS Outlook 2010: Keeping Your Conversations Clean
Anyone who uses e-mail with any frequency can understand the frustration (not to mention overwhelming feeling) of having multiple messages in your Inbox that are nothing more than the back and forth of a conversation you're having with someone.
You send a message… they reply with your original message at the bottom… you reply back and now your message and theirs is at the bottom… they reply back… well, you get the idea.
After a while, maybe even days later, you have a very long message containing the entire conversation but you also have all the previous ones.
Do we really need all that redundancy cluttering our Inbox?

I despise getting caught in a traffic jam, especially if it is avoidable. Now I have the tool to make sure that I can avoid them all the time.
I would suggest that you start your visit to the site by clicking on Guided Tour at the top of the page.

If you've decided that this sounds like an application that you'd use head on over to the Download section. Then select the type of phone you have so that you can download the version of the application that will work on your phone. I use a smart phone with the Android operating system, so I clicked Android. It let me know that I could download it from the Android Marketplace or use my bar scanner to scan the QR code on the webpage.

It's the perfect program for ALL levels of technical experience.
Either way, when you let System Mechanic do it's work, you're going to get to computer paradise:
It doesn't matter how good your computer was before. Now it's better and faster. You WILL be BLOWN AWAY. Stability, speed, and peace of mind.
Remember, it's never what you know that hurts your PC. It's the million little things you could have NEVER expected.
But nothing surprises System Mechanic. It sees every nook and cranny and makes them sparkle.
Want a sneak peek at how this incredible software gives your PC the power-wash you always dreamed of? If I tried to talk about EVERY feature of System Mechanic, we'd be here until the Sun burnt out. Get ready for some major highlights that'll have your jaw dropping.
Booting up your PC is always a pain. No matter what you do, you could cook a Thanksgiving dinner before your computer is done starting. It doesn't have to be like that.
By eliminating unnecessary or even HAZARDOUS programs from your startup, there'll be no more watching the clock, wondering when you can actually begin to use your computer. And without all these wasted resources going to unneeded programs, your computer will stay fast after booting.
Do you LIKE some of your startup programs? No worries. If you don't want System Mechanic to take control, you can go in and see each and every program it wants to disable. Regardless of which path you take, it's easy and fast to get your PC booting properly.
Oh, and do you ever get those annoying error messages when you boot up? Chances are after this, you'll never see them again! YES!
In addition to startup programs, there's ALWAYS just TONS of files and applications that end up on your PC. Sometimes they came installed with the computer, other times they sneak in through vulnerabilities or hidden in other software.
No matter how they go there, they are taking up GIGs of space!!
Don't worry, CRUDD Remover is on the job.
All this CRUDD (Commonly Redundant or Unnecessary Decelerators and Destabilizers) adds up into one giant, super slow, gunk of a mess.
Even if you knew what programs were the trouble makers, it would take AGES to manually hunt through and clean up all those files. System Mechanic removes the work and eliminates all that unwanted mess - in minutes!
Fully Controllable - You can make sure that System Mechanic doesn't remove anything you need to keep.
This thing is crazy. Not only are you going to get even MORE speed by removing all that useless junk from your PC, but talk about clearing space! Your hard drive has its limits, so taking this giant burden off its back is going to give you a lot more wiggle room for stuff you DO want.
Surfing the Internet Collects Clutter! Your computer has an "amazing" ability to hold onto a lot of useless stuff that you never even knew it saved. PC Cleanup has your back.
With the push of a button you can clean out tons of wasted space and temporary files that you didn't even know were there to begin with! WOW!
This is the ultimate solution to loaded hard drives.
You can get back hundreds of megabytes in storage space... heck, you might even get a couple GIGABYTES of space back. Maybe you won't need that $200 external hard drive you were thinking about.
Now you're saving space AND money!
Computers always manage to have a ton of errors without any indication of how to solve them. How can anyone expect you to fix a problem when all you get is a string of numbers and a giant OK button. Let System Mechanic take care of it for you!
From unintelligible error messages to mysterious lockups and even full-on system crashes, System Mechanic will find the solution.
The All-In-One Repair Tool came straight out of your dreams and now it's a reality. This program will AUTOMATICALLY fix pretty much any problem your computer throws at it. No error is too obscure for System Mechanic.
This is the total tune-up, repair, supercharge, computer fixing miracle.
EVEN IF YOUR COMPUTER WON'T BOOT PROPERLY! SERIOUSLY! You can use the System Mechanic CD to boot and recover your computer. It's a life-saver.
If just cleaning up junk didn't make your computer as fast as you wanted it, System Mechanic is only warming up. It's got a toolbox FULL of utilities to make your computer so fast it won't be street legal.
Designated Drivers - Out of date drivers can make your computer run sub-optimally, or sometimes make devices not work at all. Let this utility take the wheel for you and get all your drivers safely up to date.
Memory Mechanic - The more you use your computer, the more memory that will be taken up. Sometimes memory fragments or doesn't release properly and you run into problems that can even cause your computer to shut down. No more! Memory Mechanic will make sure your system memory is operating at full throttle!
Registry Tuner - Errors in system registry can range from causing lockups to total system failure. Registry Tuner will hunt through and clean up as many errors as it can find to get your PC running faster.
Registry Compactor - System Mechanic never leaves a job half-done. After cleaning out the registry, the compactor makes sure that the gaps left from removed bloat are closed so your computer doesn't waste time dialing through empty registry entries.
Just running ONE of these things is going to give you astonishing speed. But when you get them all going? Oh man, you're going to think someone slipped a supercomputer under your desk.
But that's not all, honestly it's barely even HALF of the performance tools alone.
Speed is great, but how about some raw, mind-blowing power? If you use some serious software, or even just want to get the most out of your PC as possible, System Mechanic has the adrenaline shot your computer needs!
EnergyBooster! Take your PC to the next level with this incredible tool. By automatically turning off unnecessary background programs, your computer's limited resources are going to be free to turn their attention to the tasks YOU need them on!
Don't let worthless background processes hog your memory or processor, use them how you want them.
If you do high-quality video, audio, web design, ANYTHING, you'll immediately notice how ridiculously fast EnergyBooster makes your PC.
Interested in something BRAND NEW? System Mechanic is always expanding its armory of tools and this version is no different.
With new AcceleWrite, you'll almost never have to worry about disk fragmentation again. By automatically ensuring optimal storage of files, the creeping slowdown that your computer experiences over time from disk defragmentation is a thing of the past!
It does the work for you, which means more time for yourself and a healthier life for your PC.
Slow Internet? That's when NetBooster takes the stage. Each Internet connection is unique and your computer can't be pre-configured from the factory for an optimal setup for YOUR system. NetBooster examines your current connection and makes those specific changes so you get MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE.
You'll see double, even TRIPLE speeds.
And remember, if you don't want to go through these individually, System Mechanic can do pretty much everything on its own. It's impossible NOT to get huge gains from running this software, and it's as simple as a few mouse clicks. What more could you ask for?
Especially nowadays, computer security has become a really big issue. You may think you're secure, but new vulnerabilities pop up ALL THE TIME! Even the tiniest of security holes can spell disaster for your privacy or your computer's ability to function. With so much on your computer, there's no excuse for taking risks.
With just one button, System Mechanic will comb your computer for security flaws and fix every single one it finds. Blocking off hackers from entry, you get peace of mind that your files and confidential information are safely protected.
You can NEVER be too secure.
After your vulnerabilities are patched up, what about other kinds of intrusions? Unwanted programs, viruses, or malware trying to hijack your system. System Guard will be the shield that keeps your PC defended and in tip-top shape.
System Guard does SO MUCH at once. If new programs try to add themselves to your startup, it will let you know. Dangerous programs trying to run? System Guard stops them IMMEDIATELY.
Browsing can be hazardous, but with System Guard, your computer and browser are protected from even the wiliest of hacking attempts. If you've ever had your homepage suspiciously changed or a new toolbar appear out of nowhere, you'll know how important System Guard is!
Privacy is just as important as vulnerabilities when it comes to security. With System Mechanic, you can make sure nothing you do gets to the wrong hands. With the Privacy Cleaner, anything you do can be erased, from browsing or search history to cookies and chat transcripts that websites or programs often automatically save.
Or maybe you need something deleted? I mean... REALLY deleted. The Incinerator will make sure any of your private files, from old taxes to company memos can't be easily recovered by ANYONE.
System Mechanic takes security seriously, and you can rest easy knowing you have the best programs protecting your PC and files.
System Mechanic is loaded with SO MUCH and if you want to, it can be COMPLETELY AUTOMATIC. But if you want to know exactly what it's doing, you can examine every tool to see what it intends to fix or change.
You'd be INSANE not to take advantage of all these amazing tools, but if you want to, you can pick and choose what you use and how you use it.
But that's not all. It comes with a tool to completely customize your PC's operations. From hiding unwanted icons to making your start menu react faster, there's almost nothing out of your control - AMAZING!
Seriously, there's STILL MORE! With your purchase of System Mechanic, you also get TWO additional programs that'll knock your socks off!
DriveScrubber - Had a virus, maybe some malware? Selling your computer or hard drive? Even if you think you deleted it, it may STILL BE ON THE HARD DRIVE. All it takes is rudimentary knowledge of computers to find ways to dig up those files you thought were gone forever.
DriveScrubber has MILITARY-COMPLIANT levels of erasing. Identity thieves are left out in the cold.
Search and Recover - Accidentally delete something? If you thought you lost a file on your computer, flash drive, or other devices like digital cameras, hold on! With Search and Recover, you may be able to retrieve the files you thought disappeared forever.
Unless you deleted them with DriveScrubber, of course.
These two free bonus programs usually sell for $30 and $40 respectively. And they ARE easily worth that much.
But you get them FREE with your purchase of System Mechanic! Yeah - $70 of programs - FREE!
System Mechanic looks too good to be true, right? Especially with all the extra free stuff, how can so much power be packed together into one amazing product? Well, you don't have to take our word for it! With over 36 million users and countless awards tell you all you need to know.

LARAMIE (AP) - University of Wyoming guard Kristen Scheffler's basketball career is over because of persistent back injuries.
Cowgirls coach Joe Legerski made the announcement Monday.
Scheffler, of Lovell, will remain on scholarship at UW to pursue her degree in social science.
Legerski says Scheffler's offensive talent will be missed. The 5-foot-10 Scheffler played in six games before an injury sidelined her for remainder of the 2010-12 season. She was averaging 4.8 points and 1.5 rebounds. In her first two years with the Cowgirls, she averaged 8.6 points and two boards.
Legerski also announced that true freshman Fatima Thiam
will not play this season because of an injury. The 6-6 center from Dakar, Senegal tore her right ACL in pre-season workouts.

1. Re: Connecting SSL certificate to SSLServer socket and clientEJP Jul 3, 2012 11:33 PM (in response to 931685)It doesn't make sense to define the keystore and the truststore as being the same file. The keystore contains the server's private key and is unique to the server. The truststore contains certificates whose signatures the server should trust if provided by clients. It serves a completely different purpose. It is usually sufficient to let the truststore default to the one distributed with the JDK.
The last code I create displayed an error saying NoSuchAlgorithmExceptionPlease post the full exception message and stack trace with an indication of which line of your code it is thrown at.
You haven't needed this line of code for about eight years.
/register an https protocol handler to service the network System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
2. Re: Connecting SSL certificate to SSLServer socket and client931685 Jul 4, 2012 9:55 AM (in response to EJP)This is the complete exception error message
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: server.jks TrustManagerFactory not available
at sun.security.jca.GetInstance.getInstance(GetInstance.java:142)
at javax.net.ssl.TrustManagerFactory.getInstance(TrustManagerFactory.java:120)
at SecureServer.<init>(SecureServer.java:44)
at SecureServer.main(SecureServer.java:72)
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 1 second)
TrustManagerFactory trust = (TrustManagerFactory)TrustManagerFactory.getInstance("server.jks"); ---------------------Line 44
Please EJP am a little bit confused about the the truststore file. Is it suppose to be the .cer file. According to the tutorial guide that I used in creating my ssl certificate
server.jks ------------ is the keystore (private key)
server.cer ------------- is the certificate (public key) which i created by exporting the server.jks file
server.jks --------------- is the truststore that should be kept in the client side of the application.
I have tried changing the truststore file to be server.cer
but it still throws the same exception.
I am kind of new to the ssl stuff so I am still learning the fundamentals please could you sheld more light on creating the keystore, truststore and calling it your application for the authentication and encryption process.
Thans for your perusal and time, I really appreciate.
3. Re: Connecting SSL certificate to SSLServer socket and clientEJP Jul 4, 2012 10:51 AM (in response to 931685)The server doesn't need a truststore.
The client only needs a custom truststore if the server certificate is self-signed, and the proper solution to that is to get the server certificate signed by a CA.
Your code says servers.jks but the exception says server.jks, so somewhere you are confused about what this filename really is.
The truststore is a JKS file created by the keytool utility. You import .crt files into it.
4. Re: Connecting SSL certificate to SSLServer socket and client931685 Jul 4, 2012 5:30 PM (in response to EJP)Thanks for your solution. I would go back to the code.
"The client only needs a custom truststore if the server certificate is self-signed"
How can i create a custom trustore?
the proper solution to that is to get the server certificate signed by a CA.
Cant i use a self signed certificate for a real world application without signing it by a CA?

and anything feminine to girls. Certain interpreters hate to hear about silver in view of the etymology of the word—in Arabic feddah from fadd or yafeddo, meaning "to disperse" or "to deflower." In general, silver is hoarded money. An alloy of silver and gold is a beautiful white girl or slave girl (or servant in the modern sense), because silver is part of the essence of women (according to the ancient Arabs). Whoever dreams of having acquired such an alloy will seduce a pretty woman. If the piece is big, he will find a treasure.
Breast Dream Explanation
— • A young woman dreaming of having milk in her breast: Will conceive and deliver.

Seeing a well dressed and pleasingly adorned young woman in a dream means hearing pleasing news coming from an unexpected person.

The strongest in meaning are those
girls who are presentable, well mannered and beautifully dressed. If she is seen dressed with modesty in the dream, then she represents goodness, chastity, discreteness, and following the correct religious conduct.
Suck Dream Explanation
— • A woman dreaming that her breast is being sucked by a man: The latter will take as much money from her as milk was seen going to his mouth in the dream.
• A woman
a man's breast: Bad dream, unlike the case in which she sucks milk from another woman's breast, which has controversial interpretations.
• For a man or a woman, dreams involving the
of the penis generally augur well. It means welfare and that matters will go through, as the penis, like the breast, naturally produces milk and is suckable, says Ibn Shaheen.
• Bending on one's own penis and
it: The dreamer will bend before his son and do all that the latter wishes, acting like a slave.
Suck Dream Explanation
— •
the breast of any human or animal and getting any liquid, be it good or bad: Will obtain money. If the organ sucked was other than the breast, the dreamer is after something difficult and success would be proportionate to the quantity of liquid pumped out.
• According to Al-Kirmani, quoted by Ibn Shaheen, liquid being sucked from any organ means money. However, milk from a comestible animal is blessed money; from an animal whose meat is uneatable or prohibited it is dirty money.

child represents glad tidings or dispelling one's worries. If one sees a beautiful looking
child entering a town or descending from the skies or appearing from beneath the ground in a dream, it means that the glad tidings will take effect shortly. Seeing a mature child in a dream means power and superiority. If one sees himself as a child learning in school in a dream, it means that he will repent of a common sin he is used to commit. If one sees one of the renowned people of knowledge sitting in a kindergarten and learning along with other children in a dream, it means that he will shift to ignorance, lose his rank, or that financial changes will affect his living conditions.
Testicles Dream Explanation
— • A dreamer seeing his testicles being cut off or infected with a disease: (1) His foes will have the upper hand inasmuch as the situation looked bad. (2) No more girls will be born to him. He will only produce
. (3) Will receive compensation and damage for a life taken away.51
• Seeing one's testicles in enemy hands: The enemies will reach the dreamer inasmuch as they are in control of his pair of vital organs.
• Seeing one's left testicle having been snatched: The dreamer's son will die, and he will have no more
Breast Dream Explanation
— Suckling milk from a woman's breast also means imprisonment and deprivation, stress and sadness. If an old man sees the breast of a woman in his dream, it means that he will hear bad news. If a teenager sees that, it means that he is in love. If a man sees himself having a female milk suckling breast in a dream, it means friends, children, or a wife who are of no benefit to him.

look hanging tall in the dream, it means either death of one's child, or it could mean that one will commit a sin. If one's
are dripping milk in a dream, they represent a woman who cares about her home duty, or it could mean falling into debts.

Milk Dream Explanation

An excellent dream is that involving cow milk, for it represents what the year will bring and it symbolizes honest gains and relief. The milk of milkless beings means aspirations will be fulfilled when least expected or from unexpected sources. The milk of any wild animal symbolizes strong religious faith. That of carrion eaters and biting insects or reptiles means reconciliation with the enemy.

Subject: RE: [GENBOX] Undo deletions; design ideas
Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2004 13:25:16 -0400
In-Reply-To: <00d701c42882$d2df8520$6401a8c0@micronxp>
Hi Tom,
I agree, having "Undo" capability for delete operations would be a good
feature. The reason it is not currently implemented is that once records
have been deleted in the database, there is no simple way to restore them.
On possible implementation would be through the use of a 2-level deletion
process, similar to how email is handled: deleting a main record would only
mark the record and its subrecords as "deleted". The data records would
remain, but with a special "deleted" flag set; all data access routines
would need to be modified to skip over records with this flag as if they
weren't there. On the Lists View, there would be a new group for "Deleted
Records". The user could then "restore" a deleted main record, or choose to
"permanently" delete it, in which case the actual deletion of the records
would take place.
The drawbacks to this design would include the additional processing
overhead to check the flag, and the extra steps required of the user to
permanently delete the main records that have been marked for deletion.
Also, it would be impractical to provide this functionality for the deletion
by the user of individual subrecords, such as identifier and event records.
